Chapter 943: 923 On-site Dissection

Su Yun explained to him the anatomical structure of liver cirrhosis nodules and how hepatitis B virus forms them; after that, the plump boss also wilted. He didn't know whether the other side was telling the truth or lying, wanted to retort a few sentences, but couldn't think of what to say.

"Let's go check the back kitchen, we'll buy at the product price. Don't worry, there won't be any problem. Actually, I, the boss, just like eating pork liver with cirrhosis nodules." Su Yun tossed the pork liver on his chopsticks into his mouth, "It's chewy, delicious."

"..." The boss was dazed by this series of antics; is there really someone who specifically likes this?

He looked at Su Yun doubtfully.

"Are you going to contact the epidemic prevention station right now?" Su Yun frowned, took out his phone.

The boss hurriedly waved his hands; his top priority now is to buy time.

He didn't know whether to first inquire about the hepatitis B virus in pork liver or go consult the epidemic prevention station. After running a restaurant for so many years, this is the first time someone said the liver in stir-fried pork liver tips contains hepatitis B virus.

Could it be that the cross-dresser who recently came out of hiding found people to cause trouble?

Looking at the young man he was talking about… he actually looks a bit like him.

Although the boss's thoughts raced a hundred times, his face was full of smiles; he prepared to first placate these people.

Su Yun lit a cigarette and said, "Boss, I usually smoke one every five minutes."

The plump boss's heart gave a jolt.

"If after five minutes you haven't seen a whole pork liver, or you can check the back kitchen, we'll just pay and leave; the consequences are yours to bear." Su Yun chuckled, took a puff of smoke, which blew onto the boss's face.

Zheng Ren was speechless; how did a good matter turn into a provocation once Su Yun got involved?

The boss hurriedly bowed and left, so rushed he almost stumbled.

"Yun Ge'er, is it really hepatitis B?" Liu Xu zhi's face also turned pale; as a doctor, he knew hepatitis B virus spreads via blood, mother-to-child, saliva, etc.

If just eating a meal could get you hepatitis B, that would be screwed.

"You idiot, are you even a doctor?" Su Yun looked at Liu Xu zhi with contempt.

"Old Liu, how can you be so gullible..." Zheng Ren looked at Liu Xu zhi helplessly and said, "Su Yun is talking nonsense; don't listen to him. Hepatitis B virus is not a zoonotic infectious disease; humans can have it, pigs cannot."

Just as he said that, seeing Su Yun about to speak, Zheng Ren quickly added: "There have been reports that healthy pig and cow serum and liver were randomly sampled from slaughterhouses for hepatitis B two-and-a-half panel testing; the liver uniformly tested positive for S antigen and e antigen; the serum showed S antibody and C antibody. The positivity rates for S antigen, e antigen, and S antibody are high, with some strongly positive, thereby confirming the presence of hepatitis B-like viruses in cow and pig livers."

He paused, seeing Su Yun's annoyed expression, then continued: "But it's not infectious; pigs, cattle, and sheep also don't have diseases like cirrhosis, so feel free to eat."

"But..." Liu Xu zhi recalled having eaten several chopsticks' worth of "hepatitis B virus" stir-fried pork liver tips, and immediately felt like vomiting.

"I guess Zheng Lao Ban wants to use a live liver for dissection to confirm some small details." Mu Tao adjusted his glasses and said.

"Pretty much. If we have a live liver, right, can you still recall magnetic resonance diffusion?" Zheng Ren asked.

"Yes!" Liu Xu zhi affirmed.

"If we have a whole pork liver later, we'll do a dissection; I'll explain the image changes at specific locations, and you help see what can be improved." Zheng Ren said.

"Not necessarily." Su Yun leisurely puffed on his cigarette and said, "If not, the lab has white mice; can you use them?"

"They're a bit small, but I don't mind; it's not that I'm worried Old Liu's eyesight is poor and he can't see clearly." Zheng Ren said.

Liu Xu zhi was completely bewildered; people say city tricks are many, but this is too much.

In less than the time it takes to smoke a cigarette, the boss came running back, face full of smiles, and said, "Only one whole liver remains; but could you all take a look not in the back kitchen? Let's go to the backyard, how about that?"

"Troublesome." Zheng Ren stood up directly, not bothering whether others had eaten enough.

At this moment, the most important thing in his mind was dissecting the pork liver and explaining to Liu Xu zhi et al. what kind of change occurs at a certain position in magnetic resonance diffusion.

As for eating, what the hell is that? Is it even important?

But whether this dissection can actually be done, Zheng Ren also had no confidence.

"Su Yun, go pay the bill, and remember to also pay for the whole liver." Zheng Ren said.

"Using public funds, huh." Su Yun didn't care; he was the chief steward, with vast funds that Zheng Ren hadn't seen, all in his own hands.

"A meal, and you're being stingy. Come on, let's go." Zheng Ren said, then hurriedly followed the boss to the backyard.

Several men with fierce faces, wearing chef uniforms, stood there.

Seeing their fierce looks, Liu Xu zhi's legs went weak.

But Zheng Ren, as if he hadn't seen them, immediately fixed his gaze on a cutting board over a meter high holding the whole pork liver.

In an instant, Zheng Ren's eyes lit up.

The backyard wasn't big, but it was clean. Zheng Ren, oblivious to others, approached the cutting board, examined the pork liver, and said with some regret: "The portal vein isn't complete; we'll have to make do."

The chefs were about to utter a couple of harsh words to intimidate these troublemakers, but upon hearing Zheng Ren say that, they all froze.

Is this underworld slang? Nowadays, with crackdowns on black and evil forces wave after wave, many gang bosses have washed their hands for years, because their past records have been dug out and they've been arrested.

At a time like this, are there still petty thugs in the underworld?

Zheng Ren instinctively reached out; after a few seconds, no one responded.

Only then did he realize, feeling a bit embarrassed, he smiled and asked, "Sorry to trouble you, but do you have a knife?"

The leading chef, over forty with a fierce face, stepped forward and said in a gruff voice, "Have you grown enough hair to play with knives?"

Zheng Ren smiled and said honestly, "I just want to give them a lecture; I have no other intention, I'm not here to cause trouble."

"Pa~" A beef ear-pointed knife stabbed into the cutting board, emitting a low sound.

"Thanks." Zheng Ren wasn't afraid.

With his system-enhanced physique, Zheng Ren could take on four or five people alone; but everyone's being friendly, why fight?

"Come over." Zheng Ren picked up the oil-smeared pointed knife and said, "Old Liu, you've never seen a dissection, have you?"

Liu Xu zhi's legs were already weak.

If this were back home, running into a few people who'd had a drink would definitely mean seeing blood.

But people in the imperial capital are more civilized, he thought.

"Here is where the portal vein should be, though it's been cut off. We'll assume the portal vein exists, guide the wire in first, then the puncture set." Zheng Ren gestured with the beef ear-pointed knife in his hand and immediately began the dissection.
