Chapter 293 Ning Xi... is she still alive?
Chapter 293 Ning Xi... is she still alive?
Seeing that he insisted, the shopkeeper didn't say anything else, but pointed to the stool next to him and said:
"It will take some time to wait for Doctor Li, you can go over there and rest for a while."
Ning Yi went to sit on the chair next to him, sitting upright.
The shopkeeper took a look at him. He had a straight posture, handsome appearance, and was holding a long sword. He looked like a guard from some noble family. However, there was a ruby the size of a pigeon egg inlaid on the hilt of his sword, which made him look different.
Mrs. Lin was worried when she saw that Ning Yi was taking a long time to come out, so she got off the carriage as well.
As soon as I entered the clinic, I was stunned.
Diagnosis room, operating room...
The layout of this clinic...she had only seen Ning Xi arrange it like this.
Ning Xi... is still alive?
Mrs. Lin's eyes were filled with tears. She staggered to the shopkeeper and asked in a trembling voice:
"Is your shopkeeper Ning Xi?"
When Ning Yi heard Mrs. Lin say the name Ning Xi, a slight fluctuation appeared in his calm eyes.
These two words seemed very familiar, as if he had heard them somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.
The owner of the clinic was a smiling man with a gentle face. When he heard the name Ning Xi, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, which was quickly replaced by a smile.
"Madam, I am the owner of this clinic. Have you come to the wrong place?"
Although it is a deputy.
Mrs. Lin was obviously a little unconvinced and said anxiously:
"I'm Ning Xi's friend. I mean no harm to you."
The shopkeeper looked at her in confusion and said:
"But Madam, I don't know who Ning Xi is."
"Impossible, Ning Xi must still be alive, otherwise why would your clinic be arranged like this?"
The shopkeeper was obviously getting impatient, but he didn't lose his temper. He just said:
"This is what I saw when I passed the border. A clinic was decorated like this, so I borrowed it. I really don't know the Ning Xi that Madam is talking about."
After hearing the shopkeeper's words, Mrs. Lin calmed down.
Ning Xi did open such a clinic on the border, and it is not impossible for the owner to learn from it.
Lin Wan and Pei Jing, who had just come in, saw this scene. Lin Wan came over and asked:
"Mother, what happened?"
Mrs. Lin shook her head and said:
"I am fine."
After that, Mrs. Lin turned to the shopkeeper and said:
"Sorry, I just thought..."
The shopkeeper smiled sympathetically and said:
"No problem. Madam, are you here to see a doctor or get medicine?"
Madam Lin pointed at Ning Yi and said:
“We are in this together.”
That young man came here to see Doctor Li, and this lady was with him. She also knows the island owner. Who are they?
The shopkeeper looked at Madam Lin with a deep gaze and said calmly:
"Since you are here to see Doctor Li, you will need to wait a little longer. Madam, please sit over there."
Mrs. Lin sat there listlessly, with empty eyes. No one knew what she was thinking. Suddenly, her nose felt sore and she burst into tears, which frightened Lin Wan.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Mrs. Lin shook her head and said:
"I'm fine. I just suddenly thought of an old friend."
The shopkeeper saw Mrs. Lin's expression, his eyes moved slightly, and he asked:
"Ma'am, where are you from?"
After the last bullock cart incident, Lin Wan became much more cautious and said:
"We are locals. We are just married and came back to visit our relatives today."
native……
The shopkeeper uttered "oh" and said nothing more, but there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
No one had eaten since morning, so Pei Jing said:
"I just came here and I saw a noodle restaurant next to the clinic. Madam Lin, why don't we go there and eat something to fill our stomachs first."
As soon as Pei Jing finished speaking, Lin Wan's stomach growled in response.
I don’t know what’s going on, but now she not only feels sleepy but also hungry easily.
Mrs. Lin was not in the mood to eat, so she said:
"Take Wanwan with you to eat. Guard Ning and I will be waiting here."
Lin Wan asked again and again, and Mrs. Lin couldn't shirk it, so Lin Wan asked Ning Yi again, and Ning Yi's answer was brief and to the point.
"Wait for Doctor Li."
Pei Jing said he would pack it for them later, and the two did not refuse.
The two walked to the noodle shop next door and ordered two bowls of beef noodles.
The noodle shop owner saw that the two were from outside the city and introduced them enthusiastically:
"Are you two from outside the city? Would you like to try our seafood porridge? It's a signature dish! If you don't have a bowl of seafood porridge, it would be a waste of your trip to the coastal area."
Pei Jing heard this, nodded and said:
"Okay, then have another bowl of seafood porridge!"
The shopkeeper saw that the two men were wearing clothes made of high-quality fabrics and had extraordinary temperaments, so he knew that they were not short of money, and continued to sell:
"Sir, how about a deluxe version?"
"Deluxe version?"
"The regular seafood porridge has abalone and lobster, while the deluxe version has abalone, lobster, sea cucumber and king crab."
Pei Jing nodded.
"Then let's have a deluxe version!"
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."
The shopkeeper happily went to cook noodles and make porridge.
Pei Jing poured tea for Lin Wan with a flattering smile on his face:
"Wanwan, have tea."
Mrs. Lin was not here at the moment, and Lin Wan was annoyed, so she said:
"Don't talk to me."
Pei Jing touched his nose helplessly, then reached out and hooked her little finger, which was the gesture they used to make peace when they had a quarrel.
Lin Wan reached out and slapped his hand away mercilessly, saying coldly:
"Do not touch me!"
Pei Jing withdrew his hand awkwardly, with a somewhat pitiful expression.
"Wanwan, please pay attention to me!"
Lin Wan ignored him and didn't even glance at him.
Pei Jing could only drink tea.
The tea in most small noodle shops is coarse tea, but the tea in this noodle shop is very different.
It tastes like wheat and has a mellow flavor.
Pei Jing had never drunk it before. His eyes lit up and he looked at Lin Wan and said:
"Wanwan, this tea is delicious, you should try it."
Lin Wan ignored him.
He moved the teacup in front of her and said:
"Try it, it's delicious. You probably haven't had it before."
As he spoke, Pei Jing looked at the busy shopkeeper and said:
"Boss, what kind of tea is this? It has a wheat aroma."
The shopkeeper saw that he was interested and said:
"Sir, you don't know this! It's called barley tea, made from barley, and it's very popular here."
"Can barley be used to make tea?"
"Yes, we have never thought of this before. This is developed on Aurora Island. Teahouses and restaurants here all use this tea. It is not expensive and customers like it."
As he spoke, the shopkeeper seemed to have mentioned some interesting topic, and he continued to talk:
"The owner of the Aurora Island is a very capable person. He has developed many new things. This seafood porridge came from there. He also has manual fans, manual washing machines, and soap. That thing can wash clothes very cleanly.
Have you seen a manual fan? It's on my desk, you two can play with it."
Pei Jing was a curious and playful person. When he saw the fan the shopkeeper was talking about on the table, he took it.
The coastal area is like summer all year round and is extremely hot. As soon as they got close to this side, they went to a clothing store to buy summer clothes.
The sun was surprisingly big and the air was stuffy.
The fan is shaped like a disk, with blades in the middle, and it rotates continuously powered by a rotating handle.
As the blades rotate, they bring coolness.
However, the palm-sized fan was louder than the two people fanning him.
The faster the speed, the stronger the wind; the slower the speed, the weaker the wind.
"Wanwan, this is quite convenient. Why can't it be transmitted to our capital?"
Lin Wan obviously would not answer his question, but the shopkeeper said:
"This fan and washing machine soap are new goods from half a month ago. Even if they were delivered, they wouldn't be that fast."
Pei Jing played with the little thing and said:
"Where did you buy this little gadget?"
"This is available in many grocery stores. You can go to any grocery store and you will find it. The company on Aurora Island is responsible for producing it, and then we purchase it from them."
The shopkeeper said as he brought out the beef noodles:
"You two have your beef noodles ready! Please enjoy your meal, sir."
"What is this Aurora Island you're talking about? How come they even taught you seafood porridge?"
"In fact, we don't know where Aurora Island is. The people on the island don't go out to sea unless necessary. They taught us how to make seafood porridge because they mainly sell seafood."
As he spoke, the shopkeeper went to bring over another pot of porridge.
"You two guests can eat the noodles first. The porridge will taste better if it is simmered for a while."
Lin Wan ate a bowl of beef noodles and finally satisfied her hunger. In the past, she would be full after eating a bowl of beef noodles, but recently her appetite has been horribly large and she is only 60% full after eating a bowl of beef noodles.
She looked at the pot of seafood porridge and reached out to lift the lid.
But as soon as he smelled the smell, Lin Wan felt nauseous and ran to the side to retch.
