From a distance, I could already smell the aroma of the barbecue, and the place was quite crowded.
Generally, if that’s the case, it means it’s going to be delicious.
"Sounds good, sounds good."
After sitting down, Xiao Tang was the first to grab a can of beer.
"You’re still sick, drinking alcohol isn’t too good," he said.
However, Xiao Tang shook his head:
"It’s fine, it’s just beer, just one can. Doctor Lu, do you want some?"
Lu Jing immediately shook his head:
"No thanks, I’ll have a soft drink."
Normally, even those drinks were forbidden by Jiang Ye, let alone alcohol.
Xiao Tang just wanted a small release, so Lu Jing didn’t really stop her. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
Indulging a bit isn’t a bad thing after all; otherwise, bottling up feelings for too long might actually lead to issues.
A waiter came over with the menu:
"Hello, ladies, what would you like to order?"
"Xiao Tang, what do you like? Order anything you want, it’s my treat."
Xiao Tang felt a bit embarrassed:
"Doctor Lu, let me treat," she said.
Of course, Lu Jing wouldn’t agree:
"You can do that next time, this time is on me."
After all, it was Lu Jing who had invited Xiao Tang out for a meal, so how could he let someone else pay?
Xiao Tang wasn’t obstinate. She glanced at the menu and began to order:
"Ten skewers of grilled potato slices, ten skewers of lotus root slices, a bunch of beef, a bunch of liver, and a bowl of hotpot noodles.
Doctor Lu, I’ve finished ordering."
Only then did Lu Jing take the menu:
"I’ll also have a bowl of hotpot noodles, lettuce tips, Yu Lan Pian, ham, cauliflower, black fungus... let’s have three skewers of each."
Counting it up, the two had ordered quite a bit, adding up to around a hundred skewers.
The waiter swiftly took note and then didn’t forget to recommend the restaurant’s specialty:
"Would you like some brain? Our grilled brain is really delicious, it’s a must-have for everyone."
Lu Jing shook his head repeatedly.
Xiao Tang wasn’t eager to try either.
Asking two medical workers to eat pig brain?
Don’t you know that we don’t even need to eat it, just seeing it brings back too many images?
"No thanks, just these for now, and get me a bottle of warm soy milk."
"Alright, just a moment, please."
After the waiter left, Xiao Tang finally took a deep breath and said:
"Doctor Lu, I almost threw up just now."
Lu Jing pursed his lips:
"I didn’t throw up, but I was close."
Many medical workers don’t even eat meat on the bone.
They’ve seen too much in surgeries, and just can’t stomach it.
Except for a few with stronger constitutions, they don’t mind.
The barbecue restaurant was quick to serve, but they didn’t bring everything all at once; instead, they served it in parts.
Understandable, to keep the customers from waiting too long, or they might not come back.
The restaurant was smart.
They started eating, and Lu Jing’s first bite was so spicy he had to gulp down several mouthfuls of soy milk right away.
In fact, it was the mildest of mild spices that I’d asked for.
But, the restaurant’s peppers were really spicy!
It took Lu Jing a while to adjust, but finally, he acclimated.
As for Xiao Tang, who usually enjoys spice, she showed no reaction and devoured her food with relish.
"Doctor Lu, this place is so tasty, how about we pick this place for our department’s next team-building event?"
"I’ll mention it to the director."
The two had been eating for more than half an hour, and all the dishes they ordered had been served.
Just then, they heard someone shout from not far away:
"There’s a fight, there’s a fight!"
