Chapter 1802: [Side Story] visiting a patient

Translator: 549690339

Zhang Zian suspected that welder Zhao’s condition was not as serious as he had made it out to be, but he did not dare to jump to conclusions before meeting welder Zhao. He still greeted welder Zhao’s family in accordance with the proper etiquette.

Every time welder Zhao’s friends arrived, his family would always ask them to help persuade him to go to the hospital for an examination, and Zhang Zian was no exception.

Maybe other people would just give a few false words of advice, but Zhang Zian was different. He already had doubts in his heart, and always felt that this matter was too strange.

Zhang Zian put down the milk and fruit baskets he had brought. He saw that there were already a lot of such visiting gifts piled up in the corridor of the house. He then followed electrician Wu into welder Zhao’s bedroom.

As soon as he entered the room, a strong smell of Chinese medicine was overwhelming. He looked at the bowl on the bedside table. The bottom of the bowl was black, and he didn’t know what medicine it was.

The curtains were drawn, and the room was dark. Coupled with the smell of Chinese medicine, she really looked like a terminally ill person.

“Ouch … Ouch …”

Welder Zhao was lying on his side on the bed, covered with a blanket, and groaning in his throat.

“Old Zhao, old Zhao? Are you awake? Let’s see who’s here. ” Electrician Wu walked over and gently pushed welder Zhao’s shoulder.

“Who is it …”

Welder Zhao turned over weakly, changing from lying on his side to lying on his back. Electrician Wu put a pillow under his waist to raise his upper body.

“Manager Zhang … You’re finally here! “I thought I wouldn’t be able to see you before I died …” Welder Zhao’s eyes lit up, and his voice trembled.

“Master Zhao, what’s the matter?” Zhang Zian walked to the window and pulled the curtains open.

“Aiyo!” Welder Zhao quickly raised his hand to cover his face from the sunlight outside the window.”Store manager Zhang, what are you doing?”

“I’m opening the curtains for you. You’ll get sick if you lie in a small dark room without seeing the sun all day.” Not only did Zhang Zian draw the curtains, but he also opened a window to let the air in the room in and get rid of the strong smell of Chinese medicine.

Zian carefully looked at welder Zhao’s face. He did look dispirited, but that did not prove that welder Zhao was really seriously ill, because suspicion could also achieve the same effect.

“Manager Zhang, please take a seat. Did old Zhao ask you to come?” Welder Zhao pointed at the chair weakly.

“Yes, master Zhao said you were sick, so I came to see you. How are you now? Are you feeling better?” Zhang Zian and electrician Wu took their seats.

“AI! It’s over, everything is over! “I can’t live for more than a few days. It’s fine if I die. I’ve lived enough anyway. I just can’t let go of the fish tank that I’ve worked so hard to prepare …” Welder Zhao pointed to a large fish tank opposite the bed.

The fish tank was about 1.8 meters long and 1.1 meters tall, according to the golden ratio. Under the LED light, the swimming fish, corals, and other aquatic creatures were swimming in the tank, making it look full of vitality.

For ordinary fish lovers, just by looking at this fish tank, one could tell how much effort they had put in.

The fish tank was made by welder Zhao himself. It had a wooden frame, glass, hidden lighting, filtration, oxygen-increasing, and heating. The rocks and sand inside were picked up by him from the beach time and time again, and the water creatures were obtained by taking advantage of various small advantages. Some people might think that this was too troublesome and troublesome, so they might as well spend money to solve the problem, but it was actually fun to do it. Most people with bad hands couldn’t do it at all.

“When I’m dead, manager Zhang, you can take all these fish and corals to your store and keep them. You probably don’t need this fish tank, so sell it for me if you can. Maybe you can buy a bone ash box with the money …”

“Bah! Old Zhao, what are you talking about! I’m telling you, hurry up and go to the hospital, don’t force me to tie you up and bring you there!” Electrician Wu couldn’t stand it anymore. He slapped his chair and stood up, glaring at welder Zhao.

Zhang Zian waved his hand to calm electrician Wu down.

“Sigh, look, I’m dying, and this old man is still treating me like this …” Welder Zhao shook his head regretfully.

“Master Zhao, is the fish good?” Zhang Zian asked.

“What?”

Welder Zhao was stunned. He looked at the fish tank and misunderstood what Zhang Zian meant.”What fish?”

“No, I heard from Master Wu that you went to the seafood market a few days ago. He bought two big prawns. How many fish did you buy?”

Welder Zhao and electrician Wu didn’t expect Zhang Zian to suddenly bring this up. Welder Zhao was stunned for a while, then nodded and said,””It’s pretty good, but not as good as I thought. ”

“That’s normal. Most of the time, the food you imagine is the best. When you actually eat it, it’s just ordinary. Even if it’s a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, it’s the same.” Zhang Zian laughed,”how do you eat? I mean, should I steam, braise, deep fry, or …”

“Tsk!” Welder Zhao pointed at him smugly.”Look at you. You’re young, after all. You’re an amateur, right? If you want to taste the most primitive taste of such top-quality sea fish, the only way to cook it is to make it into sashimi or sushi, like what you said about steamed and braised … Haha, you’re too much of an amateur, really. Manager Zhang, You Must Remember This when you go out, or else you’ll make the real experts laugh their heads off!”

“Oh.” Zhang Zian remained calm.”So you were … Eaten raw?”

“Right! I took the fish home, and while it was still fresh with ice shards, I scraped the scales, removed the internal organs, and cut the freshest and tender part of the fish into thin slices. I dipped it in sauce and ate it with a little wine. It was so delicious!”

Welder Zhao’s face glowed, and his dispirited look was gone.

“Did your family … Eat with you?” Zhang Zian pointed outside.

“When they heard that they bought it from the seafood market, they didn’t dare to eat it. Just nice, I can eat a few more meals myself.” Welder Zhao pouted in disdain.

“Aren’t you afraid of getting parasites when you eat raw fish?” Zhang Zian asked.

“Parasites?” Welder Zhao laughed.”How is that possible? Freshwater fish had parasites, but how could saltwater fish have parasites? It’s possible that there are parasites on the fish scales, but I don’t eat fish scales. How many people eat sashimi every year? a cooked steak is almost the same as raw steak, but aren’t they all fine? And I drink it with soy sauce and white wine. Even if one or two parasites got in, they would die after being stung by soy sauce and alcohol. ”

“Wait! Old Zhao, I can’t pretend I didn’t hear this! Didn’t you quit drinking after you were infected with the Marine bacteria?” Wu asked.

“This … Isn’t this just an occasional drink?” Welder Zhao changed the subject.”You can’t eat such good fish every day …”

Zhang Zian stopped their argument and said,””Master Zhao, you look much better now. I don’t think you’re seriously ill, but you’ve been infected with parasites.”
