Chapter 133 Visiting the Sick
As soon as the message was sent, someone in the group responded.
【Wandering the World】: "Oh my, Zhou Dazui has changed his ways. Last time, you were cursing that popular online store in the group for three days straight, even attacking their family's traditional business. Why are you backing down today?"
[Kawako]: "You know what, it actually looks pretty good. Here's the address."
[Shuangmulin]: "Send me your address immediately. I'm currently on a business trip there. Let's meet tomorrow. If the food isn't good, I'll beat you up on the spot to vent my anger."
[Little Li, 200 pounds]: "Old Zhou is a man of his word. I'm leaving from Shanghai tomorrow. Anyone else want to come with me?"
Zhou Ming looked at the rapidly scrolling jokes on the screen and a smile appeared on his lips.

[Old Zhou]: "The people who come to buy are all elderly men and women in the neighborhood. These people are so shrewd. They wouldn't buy meat if it wasn't good. If you want to come, you have to line up at 4 a.m., otherwise you won't be able to get any even after waiting for two hours."
[Little Li, 200 pounds]: "Holy crap, 4 o'clock? A breakfast shop? Really? That sounds pretty shaky."
[Malatang Not Spicy or Numbing]: "A breakfast shop acting all high and mighty? It sounds fake. Old Zhou, you didn't take money from people, did you?"
[Shuangmulin]: "I was wondering why this storefront looked so familiar. I've seen it online these past few days. Could it be another trendy online store?"
[Old Zhou]: "Believe it or not, I'll reiterate it again: it's your loss if you don't eat it."
After replying, Lao Zhou put his phone down.
By this time, the temperature of the millet porridge had dropped slightly.
After drinking it down in one gulp, only two words remained.
Comfortable!
Ah Kai and Zhou Ming were both very satisfied with the meal.
It's past ten o'clock.
The two videos almost simultaneously topped the local trending search list.
One posted a video, and the other posted pictures and text.
The two also have very different styles.
Akai's videos don't use any beauty filters; they're just recording things honestly.
Zhou Ming's writing is solid and insightful, with a different perspective from A Kai's, and it has a very distinct style of food commentary.
Both of them mentioned that Chen Yuan's closing time is 9 o'clock.
First come, first served.
These two videos instantly caused a huge uproar.
Chen Yuan's breakfast shop was already in the spotlight, and now it's facing even more challenges.
The comments section also erupted in excitement.
I think I'll go eat there this weekend, I'm so hungry! When will we have a holiday?!
[It looks delicious, but it's too far away. Is there a place to eat it?]
I had no idea there was such a delicious restaurant near my house. I'll definitely have to go early tomorrow morning and queue up.
[A really good restaurant can be capricious; it closes at 9 pm. Actually, buying two steamed buns for lunch is a perfectly acceptable option.]
Not only Chen Yuan saw these messages, but Su Qingxue also saw them.
She happily grabbed Jin Xiaoruo's arm.
"My senior brother is really amazing. He solved this problem all by himself without needing anyone else's help."
"That's amazing! That's amazing! No wonder you're my senior brother!"
Jin Xiaoruo: This person is crazy.
After expressing her joy, Su Qingxue continued.
"I'm telling you, but you absolutely mustn't tell anyone, my senior brother is planning to open a new shop in the city center, and from what I've heard, he probably won't be selling breakfast anymore."
"You mean to open a proper restaurant? I didn't expect him to have such ambition."
"Of course, how could someone I set my sights on lack courage?"
Jin Xiaoruo said with a half-smile.
"How can you be so oblivious? Don't you realize that your senior brother has the money to open a new store? That means he must have made a lot of money lately. How come you have no sense of crisis at all?"
"By the way, how far have things progressed between you two?"
Su Qingxue's face immediately fell.
"Stop talking. It seems like there's no progress, but it also seems like there's some progress. I don't know if there's any progress or not."
Jin Xiaoruo: "Why are you suddenly reciting tongue twisters?"
Su Qingxue sighed, wanting to continue, but then she remembered Chen Da's hospitalization and said...
"My senior's father, who was also my former homeroom teacher, apparently had surgery for a herniated disc. I was wondering if I should send some things over and go see him while I'm at it?"
"Of course you have to go. Remember to dress nicely, and just bring the same things you usually bring when visiting patients. You don't need to bring too much."
"Okay, I'll go this afternoon."
After saying that, Su Qingxue turned and left.
Jin Xiaoruo's voice came from behind.
"Hey! Didn't you promise to have lunch with me?"
"Su Qingxue, you value romance over friendship!"
Su Qingxue quickly arrived at the Second Municipal Hospital with her belongings.
It was almost noon.
Sunlight streamed through the half-open blinds and fell onto the floor of ward 306.
Su Qingxue, carrying two bags, gently knocked on the door.
Wang Xiulan's voice rang out.
"Please come in."
Su Qingxue pushed open the door and went in, a gentle smile on her face.
"Professor Chen, Mrs. Chen, I heard from my senior colleague that Professor Chen's back wasn't doing well and he had surgery, so I thought I'd come and visit you. I hope I haven't disturbed your rest?"
Chen Da was leaning against the rocking hospital bed, looking much better than before the surgery. Upon seeing Su Qingxue, he immediately waved.
"Oh, it's Qingxue! Come on, come on, why are you, a student, bringing things with you?"
Su Qingxue placed the paper bag on the bedside table, then sat down on the stool and said with great concern.
"It's just a small token of my appreciation. To be honest, it's all things I had at home, so it didn't cost me any money. I heard that you need to supplement your protein intake after surgery, so I specially brought a can of protein powder."
"Teacher, is your back feeling any better? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiulan's eyes instantly lit up.
"What a good child, thank you. Your teacher's back is an occupational hazard. I had surgery this time and won't be able to do heavy work for a while, but it's okay."
"If you have time, come visit him more often, talk to him, but please don't bring anything anymore. Don't spend any money, okay?"
Su Qingxue's smile was gentle, and her tone was kind and sincere.
"I am Professor Chen's student, so of course I want to come and visit more often, but I'm afraid of disturbing his rest."
As soon as she entered the room, Su Qingxue noticed that Chen Yuan was not there, so she changed the subject and asked.
"Where is my senior brother? Hasn't he arrived yet?"
Wang Xiulan pointed to the east.
"It's in the communal kitchen on the east side outside."
"He thinks the meals served to patients outside are not good, and prefers the light and delicious food he makes himself. He bought the groceries and went over there. He'll be back in a little while."
At this moment, Chen Yuan had just stepped into the communal kitchen.
There weren't many people.
There was only one stove cooking porridge; the rest were all empty.
