Chapter 81

Luo Jun saw Qin Huai's abnormality at a glance, his expression began to become somewhat smug, and his tone rose slightly, "Did you get it?"

Qin Huai:...

Don't you think this sentence sounds a bit strange?

Qin Huai nodded without saying anything.

"Why don't you hurry up and see what it is." Luo Jun urged.

Qin Huai glanced at the surveillance camera in the elevator with some hesitation. Luo Jun also looked up and said eagerly, "I didn't ask you to read it out loud, just look at it and then tell me."

Fine.

Qin Huai opened the game panel to check the newly acquired side quest.

Only the newly acquired one remained in the side quest column.

Side Quest:

1. 【Qu Jing's Troubles】: The enthusiastic doctor, Ms. Qu, recently encountered a troublesome matter. Some time ago, she purchased a batch of Suzhou-style snacks at the Yunzhong Canteen, and just as she got addicted to them, the snack master returned to Gusu. During this time, Ms. Qu searched through all the large and small pastry shops in the city that sell Suzhou-style snacks, but couldn't eat any that suited her taste. Please provide snacks that suit Ms. Qu's taste for a long period of time so that Ms. Qu will no longer be troubled.

Quest Reward: 【Qu Jing's Affirmation】, 【A Segment of Luo Jun's Memory】 (Choice: Yes/No)

Qin Huai:?

What kind of trouble is this? Dr. Qu, your troubles are too inexplicable.

Are you that fond of eating snacks?

I couldn't tell.

But... Qin Huai isn't very good at the Suzhou-style pastries that Zheng Zheng Siyuan excels at. Qin Huai is slightly better at Ding Sheng Gao, but for things like crispy cakes and fresh meat mooncakes that Zheng Zheng Siyuan is very good at, or Qiao Guo, water chestnut cakes, and lard rice cakes that Zheng Zheng Siyuan is generally good at, Qin Huai is not very good at them.

Must she eat Suzhou-style snacks?

Can't fermented rice steamed buns, donkey rolls, pea cakes, or locust flower steamed buns work?

If it really doesn't work, Qin Huai can also practice making Dream-Fulfilling Fulfilling Shaobing and Longevity Noodles.

"Is it that difficult?" Luo Jun asked.

Qin Huai scratched his chin, "It's a bit difficult."

"Dr. Qu wants to eat Suzhou-style snacks. The quest clearly states that it's because she got addicted to them after buying Suzhou-style snacks at our canteen last time, but Master Zheng, who makes the snacks, has already returned to Gusu."

Luo Jun looked at him with a face full of disappointment. Seeing that the elevator had arrived, he walked out slowly and said in a hushed voice, "Make them yourself! It's not like you don't know how to make snacks. Aren't those steamed buns, buns, crab shell yellow, donkey rolls, and mung bean cakes of yours all pretty good?"

It was clear that Luo Jun preferred these few items.

"If you boiled a little less of that lousy soup every day, wouldn't you be able to finish it?"

Qin Huai could only try to explain to Luo Jun, "Dr. Qu wants to eat Suzhou-style pastries at the level of Master Xiao Zheng. Master Xiao Zheng's craftsmanship is top-notch wherever it is placed; he specializes in Suzhou-style snacks. If you ask me to learn fresh meat mooncakes, Qiao Guo, or lard rice cakes now, I can certainly make them, but I definitely can't make them to Master Xiao Zheng's level."

"Forget it, let me read the quest details to you."

Anyway, the medical staff in this hospital all avoid Luo Jun, so Qin Huai wasn't afraid of being seen.

Qin Huai read it once.

Luo Jun's look at Qin Huai changed to "Why are you so incompetent?" You can't even make this kind of snack. Weren't you very impressive just now when you made me come to this damn Rehabilitation Department for physical therapy?

"Then what should we do now?" Luo Jun asked.

Qin Huai thought for a moment, "I'll accompany you to the checkup first to see what kind of physical therapy you are suitable for."

Luo Jun:?

"Then when Dr. Qu has rested, the two of us will accompany you to do physical therapy, and I will take the opportunity to chat with Dr. Qu and probe her, to see if she has any special types of snacks she loves."

"The variety of Suzhou-style snacks is quite rich. It's definitely unrealistic for me to learn them all. If Dr. Qu has any she especially loves, I'll spend a month or two specializing in them, and then remotely ask the two Masters Zheng to help guide me. Maybe I can make the flavor she likes."

Luo Jun took a deep breath and said with a look of resignation, "Go."

"Do that damn checkup."

Qin Huai: Should he tell Luo Jun that the quest reward for Dr. Qu's quest is his memory?

This game system seems to be very well-planned. No matter what quest you complete, the memories and dreams obtained are from the same person. You have to finish one person before you can see the next.

Forget it, better not tell Luo Jun, otherwise he'll turn around and run.

It's not easy for Luo Jun to go out, and it's even rarer for him to be willing to come to the hospital for physical therapy, which is like red rain falling from the sky. Physical therapy is good for the body. For the sake of the old man having a better body to scold people, Qin Huai felt it was better to sacrifice Luo Jun a little.

In the Rehabilitation Department, Luo Jun sat with a wooden face, waiting for the doctor to finish the full set of examinations for him.

The results of the examination were neither good nor bad.

As a 92-year-old man, this body can be considered quite decent.

But Luo Jun's 92 years are questionable; he is Bi Fang, and he himself can't even say exactly how old his body is.

The doctor suggested that Luo Jun treat his legs first; these legs and feet are truly bad, and it's even affecting his daily walking.

Luo Jun refused to accept the doctor's suggestion.

The doctor could only suggest that Luo Jun consider his waist; he sits on the sofa all year round and curls up on the lazy sofa, so the condition of his waist is also not very ideal.

Luo Jun continued to refuse. No matter how the doctor tried to persuade him, Luo Jun insisted on refusing.

The scene reached a stalemate.

As someone involved, Luo Jun might not have noticed, but Qin Huai felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange while watching from the side.

He felt that this doctor's temper and attitude were also a bit too good.

Although this private hospital prioritizes service and it's normal for doctors to have good tempers and attitudes, this Dr. Zhou, who is surnamed Zhou according to his chest badge...

Always gives Qin Huai the feeling that he is caring for a lonely, widowed elderly person.

This attitude is really like an enthusiastic volunteer visiting to care for a lonely, widowed elderly person, trying to get the lonely, widowed elderly person to open his heart so that his inner self is no longer lonely.

"Qin Huai, why hasn't Dr. Qu come yet?" Luo Jun couldn't hold on anymore.

"I'll ask on WeChat."

"She doesn't look at her phone at all, call her!"

"Oh."

Qin Huai went out to make a call.

In the hallway, before the call was even dialed, Qin Huai heard two passing nurses take a quiet look at the consultation room and then whisper to each other.

"Is that the legendary Luo Jun?"

"It's him, it's him. He's hospitalized in our department, pays for all kinds of project fees, but we've never seen the person."

"Wow, that must be six figures a month."

"Definitely."

"No wonder Dr. Zhou's attitude is so good."

"Look at what you're saying. Old Mr. Luo is also very pitiful. I just heard the head nurse of the Neurology Department say that Old Mr. Luo is like this because he has lived alone for many years, is lonely, timid, withdrawn, fragile, and sensitive. This kind of patient needs patient guidance. Hurry up and wash a fruit platter and take it in for Old Mr. Luo."

"Oh, oh, oh."

Qin Huai:...

Timid, withdrawn, fragile, sensitive.

Which of these eight characters has anything to do with Luo Jun?

Who started this rumor?

After listening to the gossip, Qin Huai took out his phone to call Qu Jing, only to see Qu Jing coming out of the elevator and walking toward him.

Qu Jing stepped forward quickly, looking apologetic, "Master Xiao Qin, I'm really sorry. A patient came just as I was about to hand over, so I'm 20 minutes late. How is Mr. Luo's situation now? Is his mood stable? Has the physical therapy started?"

Before Qin Huai could answer, Luo Jun, who couldn't stay in the consultation room any longer and wanted to go home to watch TV, said loudly, "Don't do it, don't do it. Don't do those messy projects. Just pick one for me that takes the shortest time. Hurry up, quick battle, quick decision!"

"That's the current situation." Qin Huai said with a smile.

Qu Jing wanted to push the door and go in, but as soon as she poked her head in, she was driven out by Luo Jun.

"You two just stay outside. Hey, what is this thing of yours? You don't want to electrocute me, do you?!"

"Mr. Luo, the electrode patches can effectively relieve pain. You don't need to worry. Master Xiao Qin and I are right at the door, there won't be any problems." Dr. Qu said loudly.

Then Qu Jing turned around with a relaxed face to chat with Qin Huai, "I didn't expect Mr. Luo to actually do physical therapy. I thought he would retreat the moment he stepped out of the elevator and go straight to the underground parking lot to go home."

Qin Huai felt that Qu Jing still understood Luo Jun. If it weren't for the quest, Luo Jun would probably be home by now.

"Dr. Qu, what time do you get off work today?" Qin Huai decided to chat about work first and then expand the topic.

"I get off work very early today, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The work intensity for doctors in our hospital is not high, especially in our Neurology Department. My main focus is Alzheimer's disease, and I basically don't perform surgeries, so I don't work overtime much. It should be less hard than you, Master Xiao Qin." Qu Jing smiled, "I heard Sister Hong say that you have to go to the canteen to work at 4 o'clock every morning, get off work at 12 o'clock noon, and study snacks in the afternoon. You are much busier than me."

Qin Huai didn't expect Qu Jing to take the initiative to mention snacks, and his eyes lit up, "Actually, it's alright. The actual working time is not that long."

"Dr. Qu, do you have any snacks you love to eat? If you do, tell me. I'll make more of them, and you can come and take care of our canteen's business when you have time."

Qu Jing smiled, "To tell you the truth, I have secretly taken care of it."

"After I went to Mr. Luo's house for his checkup last time, I bought a lot of snacks in the canteen. There were a few items I especially loved, such as Ding Sheng Gao, lard rice cakes, Qiao Guo, and white sugar cakes. After eating them, I went to the canteen again, wanting to buy some more."

"At that time, Master Xiao Qin, you seemed to be busy in the back kitchen, so you probably didn't notice me. Your canteen's waiter told me that Master Zheng had already returned to Gusu, and the snacks I bought last time were not available, and they probably wouldn't be sold in the future."

"During this time, I searched for many shops that sell snacks, but I didn't buy any that were delicious."

Qin Huai felt that he had probably figured out Qu Jing's taste.

She didn't mention the two ace snacks, crispy cakes and fresh meat mooncakes, but focused on lard rice cakes and white sugar cakes.

Dr. Qu loves soft, glutinous, sweet snacks.
