BXBX NOVEL Chapter 213 - 213 Pot
Doctor Sun was a veteran, and his eyes turned a little dark from the hard journey of his past. Sun Jiyan supported his master as he followed behind Zhao Zhan. He immediately felt the warmth inside and heaved a sigh of relief. “Master, please take a seat. I’ll go get you a cup of hot tea.”
“The hot tea is here.”
Jiaojiao placed a cup of tea on the table for each of them. After Zhao Zhan placed his bags in the corner, she passed him another cup of tea. “Warm your body.”
Zhao Zhan finished the tea in one gulp and touched the temperature of Jiaojia’s hand. Seeing that it wasn’t so cold anymore, he felt a little more at ease. “I’ll go and make something for you to eat first.”
Jiaojiao tilted her head to look at Doctor Sun and Sun Jiyan. They were shivering as they sipped on the hot tea. She hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Go ahead. Doctor Sun won’t feel so awkward with me here.”
Zhao Zhan squeezed her palm and went to the stove in front of the shop. He carefully closed the door to prevent the wind and snow from entering.
Fang Tianliu had a stomach full of questions to ask, and he quickly followed after him.
“Doctor Sun,” Jiaojiao couldn’t just ignore them after bringing them in, so she introduced the shop to him. “It’s dinner time now, how about I get someone to call Doctor Zhou over to meet up for a quick chat?”
Li Xiangjun spoke at the right time, “Chen Xiaolang and his mom are in the backyard. I can get Chen Xiaolang to call them.”
“That would be great.” Doctor Sun’s spirit brightened when he heard that he was going to see Doctor Zhou. “Get that old man to me so I can compare our medical skills. Let’s see how much his medical skills have improved over the years.”
Li Xiangjun immediately asked Chen Xiaolang to fetch the other doctor.
By the time Chen Xiaolang helped Doctor Zhou to the shop, Zhao Zhan had just finished preparing dinner.
He put some red-hot charcoal in the pot and then set up a small pot on top of it. In the pot was the soup that the shop had already prepared, but there was a layer of bright red oil floating on the soup. In addition to this pot, Zhao Zhan also cooked a pot of shredded chicken noodles and a crock pot of porridge.
As soon as the pot was brought in, Jiaojiao’s eyes lit up.
During the period of his absence, she had no appetite at all. Her originally thin little face was now smaller than the size of a palm.
Zhao Zhan had been worried all day. Now that he finally had the conditions to make something to eat, he immediately put in a lot of effort to prepare the dishes.
He placed the pot on the table carefully. The soup inside was still boiling, and there were a handful of washed vegetables around the pot.
“I’ve put ribs and chicken in the pot and stewed it for a while so you can take it out and eat it when it’s ready.” Zhao Zhan lowered his head and placed the noodles and porridge on the table. “These vegetables can be cooked in the pot later before eating. Be careful, it’s a little spicy. I didn’t know if both of you could take it so I’ve prepared a small bowl of non-spicy food for you.
“This pot of porridge is for Doctor Sun and Doctor Zhou. Both of your stomachs are weak, so it’s better for you to eat porridge to warm yourself during cold times.”
Doctor Sun’s stomach was filled with greed when he saw the dishes. When he heard what Zhao Zhan said, he could not help but look up at him proudly. “When you were in the Heart Hall, you used a lot of chili in your dishes. I had a lot of it. There is nothing that I can’t eat.”
Sun Jiyan sat at the side with a subtle smile on his face. “Zhao Zhan, you can call me by my name in the future. You don’t have to be so polite. I’ve eaten quite a lot of this chili before thanks to you too.”
Zhao Zhan suddenly realized why the dishes he had left in the small kitchen before had often disappeared. It turned out that they had all been eaten by this master and apprentice.
