Sesame Green Bean Garlic

Qiu Xinzhi began to order while considering whether to take another step forward.

Compared with when it opened three years ago, this French restaurant has completely changed.That year, JeanRopruent lost to Huo Zian and only got one star. The old chef probably suffered a lot. After that, the restaurant made drastic changes and replaced a Chinese chef. The dishes also boldly used more down-to-earth ingredients. The bigger the matching brain hole, the more concise and restrained the arrangement.Qiu Xinzhi found the shadow of JeMeSens here, and occasionally came to remember it.

Qiu Xinzhi likes this season's menu very much.There are fat sausages in the appetizers, and high-end French cuisine rarely dare to make such heavy offal. Qiu Xinzhi said enthusiastically: "How about we eat this deep-fried fat sausage roll with truffle nut sauce?"

Qiao Yilian frowned: "Viscera are so high in cholesterol, and they are fried, and the nuts are full of fat. Is this dish deep-fried with fat wrapped in fat?"

Qiu Xinzhi mourned: "Doctor, can you treat food as food instead of nutrition and calories?!"

"Food is nutrition. If it's not for nutrition, why should we eat it?"

"For coolness, deliciousness, and happiness after eating!"

"If you want to be happy, you can eat a piece of high-purity dark chocolate. The sugar in the chocolate can regulate your mood, and it can also make you feel full, reducing your desire to eat junk food. If this is not enough, you can drink dark chocolate. coffee, chew betel nut, or I'll prescribe you some medicine."

Qiu Xinzhi didn't understand the world view of taking drugs rather than fat intestines at all, but he chose to compromise again.They asked for salad as a starter, because raw seafood had parasites, and the blue cheese salad dressing had too much fat. In the end, they chose avocado quinoa chicken breast vinaigrette salad—the four fitness kings Qiu Xinzhi hates the most.

Qiu Xinzhi really wanted to pull out the chef and ask: How could such vulgar food appear in high-end French cuisine? !

Fortunately, Qiao Yilian did not resist eating steak.But when the waiter asked him how ripe he wanted it, he replied: "Fully cooked."

Qiu Xinzhi sighed: "The only people in the world who eat well-done steaks are you and Trump."

"Well, but I don't put ketchup on my steak."

"I believe this-hey, why don't you ask if the steak can be steamed, so that you can eat a lot less cholesterol and sodium chloride."

Qiao Yilian patted the table, "That's a good idea." He was going to call the waiter.

Qiu Xinzhi quickly grabbed his outstretched hand, and begged, "Brother, stop making trouble. If you want to do this, I won't have to hang around in restaurants in the capital anymore."

Qiao Yilian smiled and showed his white teeth.Qiu Xinzhi found that he kept grabbing Qiao Yilian's hand, and Qiao Yilian didn't resist.

The two held hands across the dining table for a while, Qiao Yilian smiled and said, "Are you regretting asking me out for dinner?"

Qiu Xinzhi couldn't care less about regretting, his mind is dizzy now, he could eat a hundred servings of the Four Heavenly Kings Salad with Qiao Yilian's face.Besides, how can you say you regret a meal or not? Could it be that Qiao Yilian meant something else later?

Qiu Xinzhi grabbed Qiao Yilian's hand and imagined ten thousand possibilities, feeling like he was riding a roller coaster.He also knew that this was outrageous. After a while, he finally reluctantly let go and pretended to let go naturally, and asked casually, "Do you want dessert? Hey, you don't know how to eat dessert."

Qiao Yilian said indifferently: "Yes."

Qiu Xinzhi was able to bury his head in the menu again and organize his thoughts. "What are you eating..." he asked absent-mindedly.

"Fruit."

Qiu Xinzhi shook his head and smiled: "I knew it. There is something wrong with this menu. Why does the French restaurant have a fruit plate?"

When the waiter asked Qiao Yilian which fruit he wanted, Qiao Yilian said, "Peach, please cook it for me."

Qiu Xinzhi is really going to turn the tables this time, as long as the steak is fully cooked, the fruit should also be fully cooked? !

He looked at Qiao Yilian in disbelief: "Doctor Qiao, do you not eat anything raw?"

"Well, anything that's not cooked has bacteria and parasites."

"But our body has saliva, gastric juice, immune system...everything is good, anyway, our body will defend, if we can't eat something raw, we can't do it."

Dr. Qiao pointed to the head, "Our best defense system is here. Before putting it in our mouth, we should use our brains to distinguish what should be eaten. Since we have brains, why should our immune system bear the extra burden?" risk?"

Qiu Xinzhi didn't know how to refute, so he smiled helplessly: "I now believe that you don't have a girlfriend anymore, just like you, you can't get along with the monks in the temple."

Qiao Yilian smiled and sighed: "That's right. So I'm fine by myself."

Qiu Xinzhi's heart suddenly softened, and he thought to himself, living with Qiao Yilian is really bad.Qiu Xinzhi loves food, and thinks that Qiao Yilian's eating habits—more importantly, his absolute rationality—are almost at the level of human anger, but well, everyone has their own choices, as long as they conform to their own internal logic, that's fine. Why do you have to be like everyone else?

Qiao Yilian asked again: "Are you alone?"

Qiu Xinzhi's heart skipped a beat.He controlled his expression and said, "No. I still have my mother."

Qiao Yilian was stunned for a moment, then laughed, taking this sentence as a joke.

Qiu Xinzhi also relaxed, "Are you asking about relationships? I'm unmarried and alone."

Qiao Yilian stopped talking, and the two silently ate a large plate of salad and some appetizers.

When the well-done steak was served, Qiu Xinzhi looked up at it for about a minute, and said in an admiring tone, "Eat it."

Qiao Yilian has a good appetite and eats all the food.While eating his steak, Qiu Xinzhi thought, in the eyes of Qiao Yilian, food is calories, which is a necessity to maintain life, but he judges food by aroma, texture, freshness of ingredients, seasoning balance, taste level and aftertaste , which is another scale entirely.But Qiao Yilian didn't look uncomfortable or disenchanted. On the contrary, he seemed to be in a good mood, talking and laughing casually.

They chatted for a while, and Qiu Xinzhi confirmed that Qiao Yilian is not the kind of science geek who spends every day in instruments and papers. He has been to many places, and he can fully accept all kinds of romance, sarcasm, and running trains that Qiu Xinzhi said. down.His EQ is so high that Qiu Xinzhi even suspects that the science lectures he pops up from time to time are just teasing him.

Qiu Xinzhi asked: "You used to work in a tertiary hospital in the city, why did you come to a small nursing home in the suburbs?"

"More money, less work." Qiao Yilian answered without thinking.

Qiu Xinzhi nodded, "And you can earn extra money, that's a big deal."

Qiao Yilian was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was talking about "extracting the tube" for a vegetative state, "The one you said... hey, you have thought it over clearly, you want to help me?"

"Damn it! Qiao Yilian, you can't say such things casually, I haven't even thought about it!"

Qiao Yilian smiled and said: "I know. I knew it the first time I entered your mother's ward. I have been doing this work for ten years. It is very rare for a patient to be in a coma for as long as your mother. Usually, the patient's organs will fail within two or three years. There are also some people who have been in a coma for a long time. At the beginning, their relatives often come to take care of them. As time goes on, they come less and less. You still believe it, don’t you? You read to your mother every time you come, and you believe she can hear. The hospital doesn’t keep records of whether family members come to see patients, but I know when I see the books you brought. How long you spent at your mother's bedside. When I first saw those books... it was touching."

Qiu Xinzhi was moved in his heart, but he could only say indifferently: "It's the first time I heard the emotional word 'moved' from your mouth, and I was also quite moved."

Qiao Yilian said with a smile: "I'm serious, if you can't hold on anymore, you need help..."

Qiu Xinzhi interrupted him and said, "Thank you doctor, I'm a poor man, I don't have enough money every month, I really don't have money to help you."

"I can give you a discount, and you can pay in installments."

Qiu Xinzhi smiled: "The conscience of the industry. Hey, do you really do this kind of business?"

Qiao Yilian didn't answer.

Qiu Xinzhi put down the knife and fork, and asked seriously, "Is it possible for my mother to wake up?"

Qiao Yilian looked at him, and slowly said: "It's very slim."

Qiu Xinzhi gave a "hmm" and was not disappointed.He has heard this answer ten thousand times.

"The longest time you've ever been in a coma, how long was it?"

"In the case I have in hand, your mother has been in a coma for the longest time. But when I was an intern in the United States, I saw a few cases of coma for more than ten years, and there are still more than 20 years. The medical equipment there is advanced..." This sentence did not finish , but Qiu Xinzhi knew what he meant. In Beijing, there may not be such good equipment to support his mother's weakening body.

Qiu Xinzhi suppressed his sadness, and said with a sullen smile, "You have seen the last attending doctor, right?"

"I've seen it, the one holding the beads."

"That's right, the scriptures were recited very quickly. He once told me that my mother couldn't leave because she had something on her mind and she couldn't let go of her mind. I said, what's on your mind, Banxian? He said, what can a mother worry about? Of course I hope you will start a family and start a business. You can find a daughter-in-law early, go to her and call 'Mom', and she can leave with peace of mind."

"Strange power and confusion," Qiao Yilian commented briefly, "You don't believe it, do you?"

"What Banxian said is the truth. Before my mother passed out, she hoped that I would get married quickly and let her have a grandson."

Qiao Yilian leaned on the back of the chair, drinking water silently.

Qiu Xinzhi continued: "I also tried my best and wanted to show her that I was living a good life. It happened a few years ago, and I went on blind dates everywhere, but in the end I didn't find a wife."

Qiao Yilian: "You shouldn't have such a condition."

"Well, because the national law stipulates that only a man and a woman get a certificate, which is a legally valid marriage relationship."

"so?"

Qiu Xinzhi decided to show his cards and said, "But I like men."

The table fell silent.It took Qiao Yilian a while before he put down the water glass, then leaned forward and looked into Qiu Xinzhi's eyes.

"The logic is all wrong."

"what?!"

"I mean, you got the root of the problem wrong. It's like—" Qiao Yilian held Qiu Xinzhi's hand, "If you want your mother to see the cover of the book, let her touch it with her hand."

Qiu Xinzhi's body was stiff, and he curled up his palms.Qiao Yilian gently opened his hand, and pulled him to caress the smooth marble table. "What she touched was only the material of the paper, not the images and words - this is not the information she wants, it is invalid information. Qiu Xinzhi, the information your mother wants is for you to live happily, not for you to start a family. It's two different things. If being married can't make you happy, how can you make your mother happy? What you should do is tell her that you didn't marry a woman, but you are still doing well."

Qiu Xinzhi withdrew his hand. Qiao Yilian's words were not unreasonable, but he felt a vague fear.Tell mother the real message?Are those "circles, circles, circles, lightning, lightning, lightning" what she wants to know? "Qiao Yilian, you are right, but the right thing doesn't mean you should do it. My mother wouldn't want to know... this."

"How do you know?" Qiao Yilian frowned slightly, his serious expression made him look firm and steady, "I have imagined many times what it would be like to lie on the bed unable to see, speak or move. To them In other words, maintaining the most basic life needs, getting care and attention from others, that's all. Their feelings will become very pure-your sexual orientation, if there is a problem, is also a problem at the level of social relations, which has nothing to do with She has nothing to do with it. She wants you to live well, she just wants you to live well. It's a very simple question, but you think too complicated. "

Qiu Xinzhi felt that his whole body was limp, and he said powerlessly, "Really?"

Qiao Yilian let go of his hand, and said in a relaxed but firm tone: "Yes."

Qiu Xinzhi: "Doctor, you don't mind if I drink some wine."

"Well, whatever you want."

Qiu Xinzhi asked for a bottle of wine, he needed alcohol to lift his spirits.It was already dark, and all kinds of lights outside were turned on. Strings of lights formed the skeleton of the city.But no matter how bright the lights are outside, it can't compare with the bright and warm interior of the restaurant.

When Qiu Xinzhi found out, Qiao Yilian had already drunk half a glass of wine.He said in surprise, "Aren't you a non-drinker?"

"Can you finish this bottle? I'll help you share the damage caused by ethanol to your liver and brain."

Qiu Xinzhi couldn't laugh or cry, "Thank you doctor, I am very touched, really."

The two drank wine and spoke very little, but the atmosphere changed quietly.

Hmm, need a little animal protein?

In addition to the four heavenly kings, Internet celebrities in the fitness world, I also forgot kale, plus this is Wuzhishan~~

It is not my invention that doctors eat cooked fruits. I read an article about a famous doctor in Japan and said that he never eats raw fruits.Haha, Cantonese and Hong Kong people will be very confused, if the fruit is no longer a fruit...
