Chapter 853: with translation of chapter title
I once bought a bottle, took a sip, it didn't taste good, so I put it in the fridge. Once I did a Shou Bing, the TIPS Surgery failed, I came home angry, like a broken horse and Zhang Fei, the whole person was not well. Professor Rudolf Wagner recalled: "At that time, I just wanted to drink some alcohol to anesthetize myself."
Is the taste of vodka the best? Su Yun asked with a smiling squint.
Mm, I had some cheese and sausage, drank a bottle of vodka, then fell asleep without realizing. If you want to get drunk, this is the best recommendation, bar none. Professor Rudolf Wagner seemed to have forgotten the troubles brought by the huge green sticks piled up like mountains in Hai Cheng, and began to chat with Su Yunxing, full of interest.
Zheng Ren had no interest in this at all; if it weren't for Xiao Yi Ren being by his side, he would have left early, regardless of whether it would spoil the fun.
Without drinking, just listening, Zheng Ren was already drunk. Added to the dizziness from riding the roller coaster, Zheng Ren felt a genuine intoxication.
Soon, plate after plate of authentic Russian-flavored dishes arrived, and several bottles of vodka were also placed on the wine table.
"Boss, say a few words." Su Yun and Professor Rudolf Wagner said at the same time.
Zheng Ren scratched his head, ordered a bottle of pure water, and poured it into the cup.
Looking at the color, it was the same as vodka.
"First, let's celebrate the success of today's surgery live broadcast!" Zheng Ren raised his cup, forced a smile, and said: "Next, let's continue to strive, aiming for September and October, so we can sit in a restaurant in Stockholm, Sweden, to celebrate."
"Necessary!" Professor Rudolf Wagner raised his wine glass and clinked it with Zheng Ren's.
"Not the slightest bit sentimental, Boss." Su Yun said. But he also picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Zheng Ren's.
Zheng Ren doesn't do sentimental stuff. What he's good at is how to do things, not talking.
Su Yun took back his wine glass, closed his eyes, and took a deep sniff.
"Before drinking, you must first smell it. After the alcohol's flavor fills your mouth and nose, then take a sip. When drinking, don't rush; hold a sip in your throat, fully feel the spicy flavor, then after 1.5 seconds swallow it."
Zheng Ren quietly watched Su Yun show off.
"The purity of the alcohol, and the spicy feeling like it's on fire, gives me an illusion that no matter when or where, it's like the scene of the Nobel Prize award ceremony on December 10th, with everyone standing up, applauding, and cheering my name."
"..."
This guy even dreams of winning the Nobel Prize.
Zheng Ren felt that Su Yun should go into basic research work instead of clinical practice; it's truly a waste of his dream.
After the brief remarks, Su Yun eagerly started drinking with Professor Rudolf Wagner and Chang Yue.
Zheng Ren took a bite of caviar; the salty taste like seawater exploded on his tongue and palate, bringing a special sensory experience, but Zheng Ren wasn't very interested.
It's a bit like the popping candy other classmates ate when we were kids.
Zheng Ren was startled the first time he ate popping candy.
Well, it's pretty much that feeling, except the caviar only pops once, leaving a rich salty-sea taste of Caspian seawater in the mouth.
"Zheng Ren, do you get used to eating it?" Xie Yiren sipped the caviar in small mouthfuls, feeling that salty-fresh flavor, seeing Zheng Ren's expression still not right, she asked.
"It's okay, you can't get full on this stuff." Zheng Ren said.
That's what 'chewing peonies like an ox' means.
Zheng Ren was worrying, Xie Yiren gave a hehe smile, mixed several things together, and held the plate to Zheng Ren's mouth.
No choice, he had to close his eyes and swallow it.
"Boss, this way of eating, if paired with a sip of vodka, that's truly delicious." Su Yun said.
Zheng Ren tasted it carefully; since it was Xiao Yi Ren's product, he didn't dare to just casually brush it off and call it done.
But the more he chewed, the stronger the flavor became, especially that seafood smell, which caused Zheng Ren greater discomfort.
"Afternoon, damn it, I shouldn't have gone on the roller coaster!" Zheng Ren thought.
Now, whatever he sees, he feels especially uncomfortable.
Zheng Ren was tasting with his eyes closed when he suddenly heard a familiar voice in his ear.
"Zheng Lao Ban, what a coincidence, you're here too."
Huh? Zheng Ren opened his eyes; it was Lin JiaoJiao.
"Sister Lin, you also came to eat, what a coincidence." Zheng Ren smiled, stood up, and greeted Lin JiaoJiao.
Lin JiaoJiao glanced, saw seven or eight bottles of vodka on the table, and many empty bottles beside it, and immediately dismissed the idea of coming over for a toast.
If she really came for a toast, being forced to drink a bottle of vodka here, she wouldn't even think of going home tonight.
"It's not that a friend came to Di Du, we're having a meal together tonight, old friends reuniting..." As she spoke, Lin JiaoJiao suddenly froze.
"Then you're busy, I'll treat you to a meal another day." Zheng Ren, feeling uncomfortable, gave a perfunctory reply.
"Zheng Lao Ban, are you busy here?" Lin JiaoJiao felt a bit embarrassed, her speech started slow, obviously thinking about something, but quickly she fell into her own rhythm.
Smiling, Lin JiaoJiao looked at Zheng Ren and said normally: "A friend's daughter-in-law, diagnosed locally with anorexia, hasn't improved no matter how treated; Zheng Lao Ban, could you take a look?"
Huh? Zheng Ren's interest sparked at once. The discomfort caused by riding the roller coaster also lessened considerably.
He himself didn't want to eat; Su Yun and the professor praised Lao Mo's caviar endlessly, but Zheng Ren couldn't like it at all.
Going to see the patient seems like a good way to kill time. Hopefully it's not an ordinary case; ideally it's something worth pondering, to distract attention.
"You go ahead and eat, I'll go check with Sister Lin." Zheng Ren said.
"Go on, go on, you're not drinking, Boss, don't you know that sitting here you're affecting the atmosphere?" Su Yun retorted offhand.
Lin JiaoJiao covered her mouth and laughed; she had long known the way this pair spoke to each other, finding it nothing strange.
Zheng Ren gently held Xie Yiren's hand and said softly: "I'll go out for a bit."
"Mm, come back early." Xie Yiren said.
"Okay." Zheng Ren stood up and followed Lin JiaoJiao to the innermost private room.
"Zheng Lao Ban, has work been going well lately?" Lin JiaoJiao asked as they walked.
"Not bad, the colleagues and all the teachers have been quite helpful." Zheng Ren said with a smile.
Lin JiaoJiao felt somewhat surprised in her heart; someone like Zheng Ren, who parachuted in, being free from exclusion is impossible! But Zheng Ren saying that, it doesn't sound like a lie.
After thinking it over, Lin JiaoJiao felt relieved.
An ordinary level, being bullied and nitpicked, is as normal as it gets. But Zheng Ren's level is like a dragon crossing the river; would he still care about others' nitpicking?
If you want to give Zheng Lao Ban a hard time, you also need the ability to do so.
You're joking!
"People really are different," Lin JiaoJiao sighed.
