I'm just a veterinarian! You've unlocked the Great Physician System!

How about giving it a try?
A thought popped into Zhang Lingchuan's mind.

After all, he still has a hidden item card fragment three quest to complete.

Hidden item cards are very important; they can help you anticipate danger.

For example, if someone wants to kill you or intends to kill you, they can scan in advance and issue a warning.

Therefore, completing the task is still very important.

There's only one day left.

If you oversleep and miss your chance to get the hidden item card fragments, all that effort will be wasted.

[Note: The current food contains a hazardous substance. The host has decided to use the analytical mouthpiece for analysis. Each use costs 200 medical points.]

[Confirmed] [Pending]

Just as Zhang Lingchuan was pondering whether he should use it.

A voice rang out again.

And an additional prompt appeared.

"???"

It actually requires 200 medical points?
Isn't it about using physical strength?

You could use points, he currently has over 20,000 points!

Two hundred per session is no problem at all.

[Note! The "Analysis Mouth" skill is a medical points-based skill, unlike other restricted skills. The minimum cost per use is 200 medical points.]

Just as Zhang Lingchuan was wondering, the system notification appeared again.

It turned out that it was to answer his question.

Unlike electrocardiograms, X-ray vision, and ultrasonic ear examinations, which require physical exertion, the logic behind the use of the analytical mouth relies on medical points.

At first, he thought two hundred points wasn't much.

The result showed that the minimum score for a single attempt was 200 points.
He was completely baffled.

Good guy.

Is there anything wrong.

The minimum is two hundred, so what's the maximum?
No system notification appeared.

Well, since we don't need to consume stamina for now and can use the Analysis Mouth function directly with points, let's give it a try.

After this bite of food enters their mouth, what can the other person analyze?

So Zhang Lingchuan clicked "OK".

[The current analysis nozzle is starting up.]

[Target: Shrimp and Scrambled Eggs (cooked)]

[Sampling method: Combined analysis of taste and saliva.]

I. Additive Analysis: The content of inorganic phosphate additives significantly exceeds the recommended threshold for food safety.

Phosphate is a water-retaining agent, a common chemical preparation, usually appearing as white granular or powdery crystals. It has strong hydrophilicity and can retain the moisture of shrimp during processing, improve its taste, and extend its shelf life. In the industry, this method of treating aquatic products is called "water retention" or "soaking in chemicals".

(I) Specific values: According to current national regulations and human safety thresholds, the amount of phosphate added to frozen aquatic products is subject to extremely strict regulations. In frozen shrimp, the maximum usage of phosphoric acid and phosphate, calculated as phosphate ions, is 5 grams per kilogram (1000 grams), or 1%. Based on the estimated amount of shrimp consumed by the host in this case, the phosphate content reached 25 grams per kilogram, exceeding the national maximum allowable standard by 290%, thus breaching the human safety threshold.

(ii) Functional purpose: to increase weight, retain water, and delay water loss and aging.

(III) Potential hazards: Long-term intake may lead to digestive problems, calcium and phosphorus metabolism imbalance, decreased bone density, increased burden on the kidneys and cardiovascular system, and significantly increased risks to children, the elderly, and those with abnormal kidney function.

Second, the analysis of the freshness of the raw materials showed that the protein structure was abnormally stable and the muscle fiber elasticity was inconsistent with that of normal fresh shrimp. The shrimp meat was not from the current season or recently caught raw materials. It is inferred that the frozen storage time was too long and the age was at least two years. The aging characteristics were masked by phosphate.

III. Comprehensive Risk Assessment.

Hazard level: Yellow

Current conclusion: Short-term consumption in small amounts is not fatal; continuous or frequent consumption is not recommended.

[System suggestion: Humans are resilient creatures and not easily killed by poison. This medicinally soaked aged shrimp is edible, but should not be a regular food source. Hosts are advised to exercise caution.]

Messages popped up one after another.

Zhang Lingchuan was stunned.

The main thing is that this guide is really professional.

They even detected the age of the shrimp.

It seems there's a real possibility that someone might be caught eating zombie meat for thirty years next time.

Talk about it.

This shrimp is outrageous!

More than two years.

The water-retaining agent content was far too high.

It actually reached 290%.

Damn it, they're really treating their own people like Japanese!

Food safety is of paramount importance.

After all, it's something you put into your own mouth.

"What's wrong, junior brother? Is this dish not to your liking?"

At the dining table, Zhao Lingyun, who was next to Zhang Lingchuan, asked.

There were only a few of them eating here.

To Zhang Lingchuan's right was Zhao Lingyun, and to his left was Professor Qiu Yinghe, followed by Huang Xiangning, Li Tinglan, Xia Xuelan, and Zhao Wan—seven people in total. Of course, if you include reporter Sun Peng, there are eight.

The other person didn't eat anything either.

But he didn't sit at the table; instead, he was filming with a camera.

It's still a live stream.

Jiao Bo had originally planned to come as well.

However, there are still reporters to deal with, so it will have to wait until next time.

The first dish Zhang Lingchuan ate at that moment was shrimp and scrambled eggs.

It was Zhao Lingyun who ordered it.

It's said to be Lingnan cuisine, one of the restaurant's specialties, and it's among the top ten dishes on the restaurant's best-review list.

Considering that Junior Brother Zhang is from Lingnan, we definitely had to order some hometown dishes for him, and warmly invited him to eat after the dishes were served.

Just as my junior brother put the food in his mouth...

Then the posture seemed to freeze for a moment, as if someone had just chewed on a pebble.

Zhao Lingyun ate one herself.

It's smooth and tender, with a slightly crunchy texture, and it feels pretty much the same as the shrimp I usually eat.

It even tastes a little better.

However, she herself is not from Lingnan.

I'm not sure if it suits my taste.

"The taste is quite right, but the shrimp isn't fresh."

Zhang Lingchuan swallowed the shrimp and scrambled eggs he was eating.

I didn't expect the system to have a rating system.

yellow.

Anyway, it won't kill you if you eat it for a short period of time.

Since they're already in my mouth, I might as well eat one.

That's okay.

Since you've already paid your tuition, you might as well tell everyone else not to eat it.

"Huh? Not fresh? Junior brother, your palate is amazing! I can't tell the difference at all!"

At that moment, Zhao Lingyun put the shrimp and scrambled eggs into her mouth again.

Then begin to savor it carefully.

But she still couldn't taste any staleness; on the contrary, she felt the shrimp was quite crisp and still tender and smooth.

"Xiao Chuan is from Lingnan, where the emphasis is on freshness when it comes to food. Everyone online says that you can tell how fresh something is just by taking a bite in Lingnan! I'll give it a try!"

Qiu Yinghe smiled and said.

Then I picked up the chopsticks and prepared to try it.

"Grandma Qiu, it's not that exaggerated, but you're getting old, so you should eat less of these kinds of old shrimp. It's not good for your health."

Zhang Lingchuan quickly stopped Qiu Yinghe.

The phosphate levels are way too high.

The elderly, children, and pregnant women are all high-risk groups.

He's a young man and can eat a lot; one won't be a problem for him.

Sometimes, an elderly person can be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

Therefore, I do not recommend that people eat it.

As for being able to taste freshness with one's mouth, that thing... seems to have limited function for him, right?
My mouth isn't sensitive enough to that extent yet.

Unless it's a specific dish like poached chicken, then that's another story.

He didn't actually taste anything special when he ate the shrimp and scrambled eggs.

I just felt that the shrimp was a little different from the ones back home, but considering that the taste might vary even outside the city, let alone outside the province in Northeast China, it goes without saying.

Who would have thought it had already been scanned?

Phosphate levels exceeded the standard by 290%.

Just hearing about it sends chills down my spine. I wonder how many such pitfalls exist in the restaurant industry these days.

"Mom, don't eat it, let me try it!"

Before Zhang Lingchuan could even intervene.

Huang Xiangning then put a shrimp in her mouth.

"Uh uh uh……"

Zhang Lingchuan's expression was a little confused.

I myself have said that these shrimp are old and not fresh, and my intention was to tell everyone not to eat them.

Unexpectedly, everyone wanted to try it out to see just how unoriginal it was.

This is a rebellious mentality.

He couldn't stop it no matter what.

"It's definitely not as good as the shrimp I had when I was on a business trip in Lingnan. And it doesn't have that bouncy, chewy texture. Xiao Chuan, your palate is truly amazing!!"

Huang Xiangning has traveled all over the country.

After eating a little, his tone was full of surprise.

"That's right, people from Lingnan are amazing, they can tell if something is fresh or not with just one bite!"

"I doubt that, apart from Lingnan, there's anywhere else in the country where people have such a strong pursuit of umami flavor?"

"That's right, a city that's crazy about blanching. I inexplicably feel that the chefs in Lingnan have a particularly good job."

"Um... it's just a matter of personal taste. It's not that I don't like blanching or the freshness of Lingnan cuisine, it's just that I'm not full. Besides, blanched food is too bland. I wish I could pour half a bottle of soy sauce into it."

"Outsiders may not understand the Lingnan people's pursuit of freshness and original flavors at first glance. But after visiting a few street food stalls and eating at Lingnan restaurants, you'll understand. The freshness is unforgettable."

"I used to prefer strong flavors and couldn't really tell the difference. But after eating in the cafeteria for three years with milder flavors, I discovered that truly fresh ingredients are genuinely sweet and delicious. So now I can enjoy both spicy and mild flavors."

"Blanched vegetables in Lingnan are like dipping vegetables in Northeast China. The key is in the freshness and sweetness. The soil and environment of Northeast China result in vegetables that are very juicy and plump, with a crisp and sweet taste. That freshness is something that cooking cannot match."

……

Studio.

I don't know why.

Suddenly, the conversation turned to the food in Lingnan (southern China).

They simply ignored the fact that the shrimp wasn't fresh.

"Since these shrimp aren't fresh, let's replace them. I'll go talk to the owner."

Dr. Zhao Wan stood up and said.

If you didn't experience any problems after eating it, then it's nothing to worry about.

The food is already stale, so there's no need to leave it on the table.

"Teacher Zhao, I'll go call the boss."

Zhao Lingyun immediately stood up.

After all, among this group of people, apart from himself, who was just a little Karami, they were all big shots.

She must be here to do service work.

Zhang Lingchuan did not get up to stop him.

Because removing this dish is a good thing.

He may not be able to interfere with the food safety of other foods, but at least he can protect the health of his colleagues when it comes to the food served on his own table.

outside.

"What? Our vegetables aren't fresh? Okay, I'll go tell the boss."

There are waiters in the corridor outside the private room.

After hearing Zhao Lingyun's request, they immediately said they would ask the boss and then asked them to wait in the private room.

"Okay, thank you for your help, miss."

Zhao Lingyun said gratefully.

"Teacher, junior brother, the waiter at the door said he went to report to the boss, and someone should be here soon."

Zhao Lingyun said.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoyun. Come on, let's eat some other dishes. Xiaochuan, you should try some too. This is stewed chicken in an iron pot. Our local chicken is similar to the free-range chickens you have back home. It tastes pretty good."

Zhao Wan is hosting today.

So we treated Zhang Lingchuan to a little more food.

They warmly served chicken to Xiao Chuan and Zhao Lingyun.

"Thank you, Teacher Zhao."

Zhao Lingyun and Zhang Lingchuan expressed their gratitude to Zhao Wan at the same time.

"Xiao Chuan, Ling Yun, no need to thank me. Especially Xiao Chuan, if it weren't for you today, we wouldn't have been able to transfer Li Xiaoxiao to the ECMO team. We might not have been able to save the child. You've done me a huge favor. Minister Qiu was planning to treat us to dinner tonight, but I begged her to give me the opportunity so I could definitely treat you to a meal."

Zhao Wan's words came from the bottom of her heart.

The two of them arrived late today.

It turned out to be a huge help to me.

It also saved the patient's entire family.

"This Dr. Zhao is quite genuine."

"To be honest, this isn't just being genuine; it's about surviving a disaster."

"That's right. Li Xiaoxiao's registered doctor is Dr. Zhao. If something really happens, do you think she can get away with it? Dr. Xiaochuan could say that he saved Dr. Zhao's career."

"This statement clearly comes from someone in the industry. You have no idea how powerful the fighting spirit of patients' families can be. Many times, hospitals wrong doctors, and the most outrageous thing is that sometimes they can completely distort the truth!"

"This reminds me of an obstetrician who committed suicide after being falsely accused... The worst part is that her family didn't seem to face any serious punishment. Damn it! The more I think about it, the angrier I get!"

Watching Zhao Wan pick up food at this moment.

Viewers in the live stream commented one after another.

"Minister Qiu, Professor Qiu, Teacher Qiu... I audited your classes before, and I am very grateful for your help today. Since you came, the whole situation has quickly turned around. You should also try this big free-range chicken, their signature dish."

Zhao Wan said to Qiu Yinghe.

And then you have to serve her a big, rotten chicken.

"No need, no need, I can manage on my own. Xiao Zhao, don't be so polite to me who's just here to freeload."

Qiu Yinghe insisted on doing it herself.

"This……"

Dr. Zhao was somewhat at a loss.

"Teacher Zhao, why don't you serve us some? We haven't enjoyed your service yet."

Li Tinglan said jokingly.

"Come on, come on, we should also serve Director Li, Director Xia, and Vice President Huang."

"No, no, no!"

"Kidding!"

"How can we let Teacher Zhao cook the Grand Chicken? We'll do it ourselves. I'm sure this signature dish will taste amazing!"

Zhao Wan had barely finished speaking.

Li Tinglan, Huang Xiangning, and Xia Xuelan all stood up.

It's okay to make fun of someone or crack a joke.

It's really inappropriate to ask someone to serve you chicken.

Actually, they were quite looking forward to it too.

How does this big, rotten chicken taste?

This is the first time I've ever eaten at a food stall next to a hospital.

I was so tired today and didn't want to go far, so I chose this place.

Meanwhile, Zhang Lingchuan also ate the big, savory chicken.

When I first came to Northeast China, I didn't understand what "big dumb chicken" meant.

Thinking to myself, this chicken... is it stupid? Isn't it just dumb? Can such a stupid chicken taste good?
I later learned that this was a name similar to "free-range chicken".

[Note: The current food contains a hazardous substance. It is recommended that the host use the Analysis Mouth, which costs 200 medical points per use.]

[Confirmed] [Pending]

Zhang Lingchuan had just taken his first bite.

Damn it, he's completely flustered again!!
No!

Is this ever going to end?!

This is a free-range chicken!

Free-range chickens have problems too?!

And this time, they actually suggested he use a diaphragm?

What?! This stuff is even more outrageous than shrimp with 290% excess of pollutants?!

They're diners, not ordinary people. There's a problem with ordering two dishes, especially since it's located next to a hospital. It's really inappropriate to do this!

"Everyone! Shrimp and scrambled eggs is our signature dish, and countless customers have praised it. How can you say there's something wrong with our dish when you bring it here? That it's not fresh? That's not how you do things!"

However, just as this idea popped into Zhang Lingchuan's mind...

The box door was pushed open.

He was the restaurant owner, and he actually acted as if he didn't want to solve the problem but rather wanted to solve the person who raised it!
