Financial freedom starts with the pursuit of a cool female doctor

Chapter 74 A Good Stuff
Seeing Zhuo Tong's hand holding the spoon frozen in mid-air, the experienced Liang Qiwei quickly smoothed things over:

"Mr. Zhuo, Ms. Bai, this bowl of black pork and fish maw soup is a specialty of our restaurant."

"The main ingredient is black pork because it contains linolenic acid, which the human body cannot synthesize but is essential and can protect the liver."

"In particular, its amino acid content is much higher than that of other pork, so when used to make soup, the broth will be richer and more flavorful than that of other pork."

What Liang Qiwei said was perfectly understandable to Bai Wei, a cardiologist.

In particular, alpha-linolenic acid, an unsaturated fatty acid, can lead to atherosclerosis if consumed in insufficient amounts, while excessive intake can also be harmful.

Zhuo Tong's mother had previously suffered from coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, also known as coronary heart disease.

She could understand all of that, but looking at one of the ingredients in the soup bowl, she realized that she had underestimated the Cantonese people's ability to eat anything.

"Black pork is stewed with ginseng, sea coconut, fish maw and other ingredients for more than ten hours, resulting in a mild and mellow taste."

"Then can you explain what this is?"

Zhuo Tong gently scooped the ingredient out of the soup, which was scattered with bits of green mustard greens, with a spoon.

A grayish-brown, elongated tail, curved head, and question mark-shaped unidentified food was lying quietly on the spoon.

Liang Qiwei smiled and said "Oh".

He originally thought that the two of them couldn't get used to black pork, which was why he was trying to explain the benefits of black pork. He didn't expect that this was what they were concerned about.

What a fuss.

"This is a seahorse? It's delicious, you two can try some."

Seahorse?

You're telling me I should put seahorse in the soup?

It sounds and looks really weird, doesn't it?!
Zhuo Tong's knowledge of seahorses is still limited to the animated films he watched before, such as "Finding Nemo" and especially the seahorse Aku in "The Adventures of Little Carp".

Even when he went to aquariums and ocean parks with his ex-girlfriends, he only watched from afar and never thought that one day he would be able to "eat" them.

"What's so good about this stuff?"

Liang Qiwei smiled without saying a word, but it was clearly more meaningful than his previous smile.

Bai Wei remained silent and began to drink, seemingly having no intention of answering her question.

Zhuo Tong had just taken out her phone to search for information about the effects and taste of seahorses when she heard Bai Wei, who had just wiped her mouth, say in her usual cool tone:
"It invigorates the spirit and strengthens the sheep, nourishes yin and replenishes blood, regulates qi..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhuo Tong had already swallowed all the edible soup ingredients in one gulp.

She even ate so fast that she let out a small burp.

Zhuo Tong wiped her mouth and looked at Bai Wei curiously:
"What did you say?"

"nothing."

Liang Qiwei's smile became even more enigmatic, but he quickly lowered his head and continued preparing the remaining dishes.

After all, Zhuo Tong's reaction is completely understandable.

One topic that men all over the world can't avoid is "nourishing the spirit and strengthening the body".

Every year, countless men are fooled by these four words with their mysterious magic, paying a hefty "stupidity tax" even though they know it's a scam designed to fleece them.

After all, even if it has only a tiny bit of effect, it's still a gain.

Although she did not have severe kidney deficiency, according to the results of Bai Wei's physical examination at the time, she had a slight deficiency of Yang due to long hours of staying up late and running.

Therefore, it is still necessary to supplement it if necessary.

What's even more amazing is that, despite his frequency, he only seemed slightly weak, which greatly piqued Bai Wei's interest. What kind of iron will it take to avoid replicating the dramatic exit of Ximen Qing, the master of a certain classic literary work, who "roared like a bull, panting for half the night"?

Bai Wei only took a small spoonful before giving the rest of the soup to Zhuo Tong.

Watching him devour the entire soup like he was drinking beer, Bai Wei kept a close eye on him, afraid he might spill a single drop.

Eat more and replenish your body properly. I'll always find a way and an opportunity to study you.

"Delicious! This soup is really delicious. It's so delicious that I drank so much of it. That's all."

Zhuo Tong wiped his mouth, just as Chef Liang brought out the remaining two main dishes and one dessert.

Without the cooking duties, Liang Qiwei was able to sit at the table and give the two a detailed introduction, of course, without forgetting to wear a mask.

"This porridge is made with Qianniu rice and dried scallops from your province. Now we're adding smoked eel from Ningbo, scallops from Qingdao, and dried flounder from Shantou."

As he explained, he used a grater to shred the remaining seasonings into small pieces and poured them into the porridge.

The soft, glutinous, and thick porridge, paired with fragrant and crispy ingredients, retains the seafood flavor compared to classic seafood porridge, but offers a richer and more diverse taste.

Seaweed bread baked chicken, which is also a staple food, is more unique compared to the traditional methods mentioned above.

The bread has a crispy crust and a fluffy interior, infused with the aroma of chicken, leaving a lingering chicken flavor on your lips and teeth.

As for the chicken itself, the bread locks in the aroma and juices, preserving its original flavor to the greatest extent possible, meeting the standard for chicken consumption in Guangdong Province.

The chicken tastes like chicken.

The final dessert, black truffle and chestnut tart, was the perfect ending to the dinner.

The tart crust made with chestnuts is exceptionally crispy and has a rich, sweet chestnut flavor.

Meanwhile, the tart filling consists of pieces of chestnuts inserted into melted Parmesan cheese, and then a layer of black truffle is added with a shaving to enhance the aroma and balance the flavor.

After finishing the food Zhuo Tong ordered, the two casually leaned back in their seats, a satisfied expression on their faces.

Regardless of the price, the satisfaction of the taste alone made this dinner worthwhile.

However, Bai Wei was so focused on eating the dishes Zhuo Tong ordered that she didn't touch the light meals she had ordered.

Noticing that Zhuo Tong's gaze seemed to casually sweep over the steamed broccoli, okra salad, sliced ​​cucumber and cherry tomatoes, salmon belly, and boiled shrimp on the table, Bai Wei sat up straight without making a sound.

Liang Qiwei quickly put away the empty dishes so as not to disturb Bai Wei's meal.

Fortunately, there wasn't much food; the two of us could definitely finish it.

She looked up and saw that Zhuo Tong across from her had already set out the tableware and wiped his mouth clean, and didn't seem to intend to continue eating.

Although Bai Wei is not short of money, she has never had the habit of wasting money.

This was a principle she had always adhered to since childhood, and she would not allow herself to violate it.

She was about to ask Zhuo Tong a question when she noticed a hint of mockery in the smile on his face as he asked her with concern:
"What's wrong, Dr. Bai? Do you not like the food?"

"No... I just wanted to say that I might have to keep you waiting."

"It's alright, it's a good opportunity to watch the sunset and the sea view."

In the distance, the setting sun had already sunk more than halfway into the water, its last rays like flames on the sea, fiery and crimson.

Beautiful scenery, absolutely beautiful scenery.

Sitting opposite her, Bai Wei struggled to stuff broccoli, which only had the natural sweetness of vegetables, into her mouth, her expression stiff and awkward.

After taking a photo, Zhuo Tong put down her phone and looked at Bai Wei curiously:
"Dr. Bai, you seem to need a little help?"
