Financial freedom starts with the pursuit of a cool female doctor

Chapter 106 Oysters Galore
Zhuo Tong never expected that Han Qi would be so generous; the two of them even drank from the same cup together.

After downing another large glass, a slight blush began to appear on her wheat-colored face.

They haven't eaten anything yet, and they're drinking alcohol right away. The alcohol is absorbed too quickly, making them more likely to get drunk.

Zhuo Tong's expression remained unchanged, after all, he often drank like this before, but Han Qi began to show signs of drunkenness and seemed a little more excited than before.

Han Qi put down his wine glass, craned his neck to stare intently at the direction the waiter was preparing the food, and suddenly his eyes lit up:
"Oh! The meat is here!"

She skipped and hopped out like a carefree deer, took two plates of snowflake beef directly from the waiter, and returned to her seat.

“These sliced ​​beef pieces cook quickly, so we can eat them right away. You sit and wait a bit, let me do it all.”

After sitting down, Han Qi suddenly became quiet and started to get busy.

First, rub the regular pork belly provided by the store back and forth on the barbecue grill to let the fragrant pork fat seep out.

Once the lard has covered the entire barbecue pan, place the slightly charred pork belly aside and then pick up slices of marbled beef and place them on top.

To enhance the aroma, she carefully sprinkled a thin layer of sea salt and ground black pepper on the meat.

She went through the whole process with ease, and it seemed that she was indeed a regular here.

In particular, her initiative in taking on the task of grilling the meat and helping to prepare the sauces really made her seem like a reliable older sister.

Zhuo Tong finally realized how she was seen in her younger sister's eyes.

It's a pity that my sister has grown up and become a bit rebellious; she never takes her brother seriously.

"It's done baking, let's eat!"

After the first plate of snowflake beef was cooked, Han Qi put it all into Zhuo Tong's bowl, leaving none for himself, and then immediately ordered the second plate.

Zhuo Tong wasn't in a hurry to eat. She just watched her busy herself, keeping a close eye on the grilled meat, as if afraid it would overcook.

It's like having obsessive-compulsive disorder; every slice of beef must be laid flat without overlapping, evenly filling the entire barbecue pan.

It's quite surprising that Han Qi, who seems so carefree, has such a meticulous and serious side.

Seemingly sensing Zhuo Tong's intense gaze, Han Qi raised his head and blinked:

"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?"

She touched her face but found nothing. Then she noticed that Zhuo Tong's bowl was full of meat, but he hadn't touched it at all.
"You eat first, there's more meat to come."

Zhuo Tong smiled and said:

"I was thinking, she really is a good older sister, she's very good at taking care of others."

"No, we're used to it."

Perhaps it was Zhuo Tong's words that made her shy, or perhaps it was the alcohol that made her slightly tipsy.

Han Qi's face turned even redder as he looked down at the grilled meat, his tongs constantly flipping the slices, seemingly at a loss.

The evening breeze ruffled her slightly curled hair, making her dimples, which were prominently displayed as she smiled, even more.

"Sisi's father divorced my mother shortly after she was born. In addition, my mother was busy with work and never had time to take care of the two of us."

"So I've basically been the one taking care of Sisi since she was little, including when she was in high school, I would pick her up after school in the afternoon."

Perhaps because she was drunk, she seemed more relaxed and completely unguarded, saying whatever came to mind.
"Even though I'm in college now and don't live that close to home, I still sometimes have to pick up and drop off Sisi for my mom."

Han Qi rested his face on one hand on the table, while holding tongs in the other, aimlessly wandering around the barbecue grill.

Zhuo Tong keenly perceived the key point in her words:

When referring to Han Sisi's father, he uses "her dad," but when referring to her mother, he uses "my mom." It's easy to see the complicated situation in Han Qi's family.

Han Qi's father left for some reason, and then her mother remarried.

As a result, not long after Han Sisi was born, her marriage broke down again, and their mother chose to take the two half-sisters with her.

Beneath that glamorous and strong exterior lies such an experience.

It seems she has it tough too.

"Okay, okay, let's eat first, otherwise it will get cold."

Han Qi used a separate bowl to scoop out the plate of grilled snowflake beef and set it aside:
"This bowl is for everyone. If you don't have enough to eat, just take some from here."

"And what about you? Why don't you leave some for yourself?"

"Hehe, that's a secret, I can't tell you right now."

Her gloom vanished, replaced by a mysterious smile, before she placed the next plate on the table.

Just then, the waiter arrived. She stacked the empty plates together and handed them to the waiter, and then took four portions of oysters.

There are two in one serving, and eight in four servings. Each one is bigger than Zhuo Tong’s outstretched palm.

The meat is tender and juicy, with a milky white color and a hint of pale gray. It is also drizzled with a special oil-drizzled garlic and chili sauce, and the aroma is irresistible as soon as it is served.

Like a cat guarding its food, Han Qi grabbed four oysters and brought them to his front:

"I can't give you any more of these, I need to eat four. I feel so energetic after eating them, and my insomnia at night has improved a lot."

As for why there are these benefits, she's just a young girl and doesn't understand. How could I, a grown man, not understand?

Oyster meat can nourish yin and subdue yang, calm the nerves and soothe the mind, astringe essence and stop sweating. I don't know how many men have to order a whole bunch of oysters when they go out for barbecue.

Goji berries, chives, and cistanche deserticola are similar to oysters in that they have almost become classic stereotypes in that regard, leaving a deep impression.

When I had dinner with Bai Wei back then, I might not remember what I ate now, but I do remember that there was seahorse in the soup.

Pulling myself back to reality, I saw Han Qi in front of me completely disregarding his image, raising his head and opening his mouth wide.

Then she held a whole oyster in its shell to her mouth, gently pushed it with a spoon, and swallowed the entire oyster meat in one gulp.

"It smells so good, you should try some too."

"Such a big oyster, you'd be almost full after eating four, no wonder you don't eat that much meat."

"I can't help it, I just like to eat it."

Zhuo Tong smiled and nodded, then ate an oyster just like her.

I have to say, living in a coastal city is great in one way: you can always get the freshest seafood.

In addition, the rich culinary culture of Guangdong Province over the years has meant that Zhuo Tong has hardly ever eaten anything unpalatable in Shenzhen, despite living there for so long.

Each oyster is tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The natural freshness of the oyster is complemented by the garlic and spiciness brought out by the hot oil, making it a truly exquisite dish.

Zhuo Tong put down the oyster shell, which was completely devoured, and realized that she had only just finished one, while Han Qi across from her had already devoured four in one go.

Then, with a seemingly aimless gaze, she quietly glanced at the three oysters in front of Zhuo Tong and swallowed.

Seeing her craving the buns, Zhuo Tong raised her hand:

"Waiter, please add more dishes."
