Chapter 50 Poison in the Stomach
Chapter 50 Poison in the Stomach
When the song ended, everyone felt very relaxed. Music has this kind of magic, especially when many people listen to it together.
For example, during the sing-along segment at a concert, people are more likely to get excited, empathize, and cry together.
Teacher He said with emotion, "Walking through the sea of people just to embrace you, that's so well written."
"Including us, our guests came from all over the country, traversing crowds to reach the Mushroom House. We worked together, shared delicious food, strolled around by candlelight, and comforted our souls with songs. I truly felt the beauty of the world intertwined with us."
Mao Xiaotong asked with sparkling eyes, "Why is there such a fitting song?"
Yang Mi looked at Xu Jinyan with a smile in her eyes: "You didn't write this on the spot, did you?"
Xu Jinyan shook his head: "It was just a coincidence. I have a habit of recording my daily inspirations. I have a few more poems like this with lyrics already written, but they just haven't been released yet."
"I can only say that being able to sing this song here today is the best arrangement."
"And I told you, I'm really busy most of the time, but you just wouldn't believe me."
Everyone laughed, but Reba felt a little uncomfortable. That one glance they exchanged made her heart pound wildly, as if fate had arranged for them to cross the sea of people just to embrace each other here.
She quickly shook her head; watching too many idol dramas had made her brain a little fuzzy.
Xu Jinyan: The other two both have partners, so who else should I look at?
As they were talking, Teacher Huang suddenly stood up and went to the restroom. Xu Jinyan was a little surprised to see this; the timelines were really tightly converged.
"Hoo"
"Hoo"
A short while later, the sound of vomiting came from the bathroom. Peng Yuchang returned to his room, heard the noise, and came out to find the group who were still chatting in the pavilion.
"Teacher Huang keeps vomiting!"
Everyone was surprised, and He Jiong asked worriedly, "Did she throw up?"
Under the camera lens, Xu Jinyan was also "surprised", so she went into the house with Teacher He and Peng Yuchang to take a look. Teacher Huang had already crawled into the mosquito net and was lying down.
Teacher Huang spoke up, saying, "I just vomited three times; I think it's food poisoning."
"I guess the green beans were too old and already poisonous. I just tasted them, but they weren't fully cooked, so I took a bite."
After exchanging a few words, the group went out to call the doctor.
When the girls in the pavilion saw the group come out, they immediately asked how Teacher Huang was doing.
He Jiong replied, "When Teacher Huang was tasting the dishes, he took a bite of green beans and swallowed them. Jin Yan said that undercooked green beans are poisonous, so Teacher Huang may have had food poisoning."
Several girls looked at Xu Jinyan, wondering if this amazing boy knew all this.
Xu Jinyan frowned: "Cooked green beans are fine. I didn't expect that Teacher Huang didn't vomit when she tasted the dish."
Yu Zheng sat to the side, swallowing hard with a stiff expression.
Yang Mi stared intently at him; she had just asked him on her phone why he wasn't eating the stew.
He didn't answer. So it's poisonous?
A group of people were sitting there waiting for the doctor. Suddenly,
"Hoo"
"Hoo"
To everyone's shock, Yu Zheng also started vomiting.
Now everyone was starting to panic. Wasn't it a problem with the green beans?
"Teacher Yu, how are you?"
Yu Zheng spat out several times, his face turning red:
"Bile has come out; I reckon I'll need to have my stomach pumped."
"There's poison in this stomach."
Xu Jinyan immediately lowered his head; the words "poison in the stomach" were really hard for him to bear.
He felt that once he had enough negative emotions, he would need to work on his acting skills, at least in terms of controlling his expressions.
Teacher He asked with concern, "Did you also eat undercooked green beans?"
Yu Zheng let out a weak breath: "Teacher Huang and I each ate one that wasn't cooked."
Yang Mi moved closer to Xu Jinyan without making a sound. She crossed her arms and casually nudged him with her elbow.
Xu Jinyan raised her face, which was full of worry and frowns, and asked her with her eyes: Why are you rubbing against me?
Yang Mi: Who exactly is the actor?
Previously, when the two of them tricked Dilraba into eating "fake crab", they both lowered their heads to avoid being filmed by the camera.
Xu Jinyan lowered her head again just now; she definitely couldn't help but want to laugh.
Teacher He said, "Go lie down on the bed and rest for a while. Drink some hot water. Vomiting like this is really bad for your stomach."
Then everyone circled around the two patients. After more than half an hour, Teacher Huang was the first to recover and was able to get up and joke with everyone. Then Teacher Yu also felt much better.
During this time, everyone else was fine, and the "green bean incident" came to an end.
……
……
The next morning at seven o'clock, Xu Jinyan was already busy in the kitchen.
Honestly, he wasn't trying to create any kind of persona; he just didn't expect even the chef to collapse. Plus, he said yesterday that he could cook, so he couldn't sleep in anymore.
I glanced at the system:
[Cooking Skills: Professional (5/3000)]
This skill was able to break through to the professional level, which of course was inseparable from Grandma's teaching, but more importantly from the previous novel updates.
He simply delayed posting the chapter about Guo Jing learning the Nine Yin Manual by half a day, and immediately received over 300,000 negative comments. Combined with the ones he had accumulated before, this allowed him to instantly upgrade his cooking skills to a professional level.
Professional chef Xu Jinyan is preparing a meal for patients—rice porridge.
He found a clay pot and put the rinsed rice into it with cold water.
I added more cold water because I wanted the soup; I don't eat the rice grains.
Then cover the pot with the lid, bring it to a boil over high heat, and once the water boils, reduce the heat to low.
Leave the lid slightly ajar to prevent it from overflowing.
The rest is to simmer it slowly over a low flame for about fifty minutes, until the rice grains have opened up and the soup has thickened. This is when the oil is released, which is also the most nourishing part.
During that hour, besides stirring the bottom of the pot with a spoon from time to time to prevent it from sticking, he also managed to make breakfast for the other people.
It's nothing complicated, just porridge. Anyway, porridge is the perfect breakfast.
However, because there were girls present, he added more goji berries and red dates, and finally added some crushed rose petals.
The main selling point is that it looks good, and when you're in a good mood, everything tastes good.
Then I made an egg custard, sprinkled it with chopped green onions and vinegar, but there was nothing particularly special about it.
Around eight o'clock, everyone was seated at the dining table. Xu Jinyan first sprinkled some salt on the rice porridge for the two patients and brought it over, and then brought over the breakfast she had made for everyone.
Xu Jinyan laughed and said, "The quality is just so-so, please don't mind, just make do with it."
Although he said that, everyone gave him plenty of emotional value.
Teacher Huang took a sip of rice porridge and felt a sense of comfort in her stomach: "Jinyan really knows how to cook. Rice porridge is the best thing for the stomach. Did you learn this from your mother?"
While taking a sip of porridge, Xu Jinyan quickly thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, "No, I remember once when my sister was sick, my grandma made this kind of rice soup for her. She felt very comfortable after drinking it, and my grandma said that this rice soup is the most nourishing."
Teacher Huang nodded: "That explains it. You young people may not understand, but the older generation does. The king of 'patient meals' in our traditional Chinese food culture is this rice soup."
"After entering the stomach, it can adhere to the stomach wall and form a protective film, soothing the irritated gastrointestinal tract. It is gentle and easily absorbed. Moreover, it is rich in vitamin B, which can replenish energy, making it a particularly good product."
Everyone nodded, having learned something new.
Mao Xiaotong said, "After hearing what Teacher Huang said, I'm starting to crave rice porridge. Jinyan, is there any rice porridge left?"
Xu Jinyan: "Yes, there is, but the rice water isn't as good as your porridge. Would you still drink it?"
Mao Xiaotong: "..."
Everyone else watched with amusement as Mao Xiaotong hesitated. Yu Zheng laughed and said, "Jinyan, why don't you just tell her there isn't any? What is Xiaotong supposed to do now?"
It was Teacher Huang who spoke up: "Xiaotong, don't try to take our food from us old folks."
Mao Xiaotong quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, that's what I was hesitating about. I was also worried that there wouldn't be enough food for the two teachers."
Xu Jinyan nodded seriously: "Yes, I believe you."
"Ha ha ha ha"
Teacher Huang watched this scene with a smile and exclaimed, "How wonderful! Young children are wonderful."
After breakfast, everyone sat in the courtyard chatting. Around noon, the guests embarked on their journey home, concluding the recording of this episode.
