Chapter 35: Flatbread in Soup
"Is it good?"
"It will do."
"Here?"
"A little bit down."
"Is it here? Do you want me to push harder?"
"Well, push harder."
"Do you feel it?"
"No."
Tang Qiaoqiao slapped Shen Yue's calf. "If you don't feel it, then why do you want me to push harder?"
"If you don't push hard, how do I know if I would feel it?" Shen Yue is lying down on the recliner, stretched his legs on the mat, watching Tang Qiaoqiao's hands dance on his leg like playing the piano.
Tang Qiaoqiao frowned and muttered, "No, I have acupunctured and massaged so many times. Why don't you feel it at all?"
Is it because she has not injected enough spiritual power, or has he not eaten enough vegetables?
Shen Yue can actually feel it, but it is a little weak. Recently, he can feel a slight tingling sensation in his legs every night, as if he has returned to the growing stage in his youth.
But he didn't want to tell her because Tang Qiaoqiao seemed to be particularly concerned about the progress of his leg recovery as if something will happen once he was cured.
"I want to ask Dr. Liu to come over and do a comprehensive examination for you." Tang Qiaoqiao spoke slowly.
Dr. Liu is the only doctor in China who has been involved in the whole process of Shen Yue's leg treatment. He knows his condition very well.
"Don't take an inch," Shen Yue sat up straight. "I said it many times. I won't see a doctor."
"Let Dr. Liu have an examination, so we can also know if your leg has recovered after this period of treatment." Although she has spiritual power, she can't see the changes in his body with naked eyes. She does not have any skills in surgery, so she should look for a doctor.
More importantly, in a few days, she will go to another place to film. Aunt Wang doesn't understand anything. If she can ask Dr. Liu to help him do some rehabilitation work, she can rest assured.
Shen Yue: "No, don't do it."
Tang Qiaoqiao didn't accept it and said stiffly, "Then I won't make anything for you to eat."
Shen Yue was speechless, he wanted to have a backbone and say he would not eat, but he just can't do it.
He was silent for a moment and said, "Even if you want to, I'm afraid you won't be able to invite him."

"Why? Isn't Dr. Liu your family doctor? Didn't he always treating your family?"
"He used to be," Shen Yue laughed at himself and smiled, "It's just that because I called him a quack, he said he would never come again."
Dr. Liu and the Shen family have known each other for a long time, especially with Shen Yue's father. He was once a top doctor in China. Even now, after retiring, he often goes to some well-known hospitals for medical treatment. He likes to study intractable diseases. Such high-level doctors have a little temperament and thought that the patient must listen to him. If the patient dares to make trouble with him, his temper will be more aggressive than the patient.
In the beginning, Shen Yue was paralyzed in a car accident and seeing doctors all over the world, but it was fruitless. After returning to China, Dr. Liu suggested that he should be treated with his own research method.
But at that time, Shen Yue had already lost all his hope. He was tortured by various medical treatments and no longer trust anyone, so he quarreled with him several times. Especially when he scolded a few words about him as a quack doctor, Dr. Liu was furious. He said even if he asked him to come, he wouldn't come.
As a result, there is today's stalemate.
After listening to the cause and effect, Tang Qiaoqiao said in a cold voice, "You deserve it. If it's me, I won't bother to take care of you."
"It's better if you ignore me and leave me alone, and I will feel quiet." Shen Yue left Tang Qiaoqiao agitatedly. Holding his legs in both hands, he moved his body from the mat with hard work.
Tang Qiaoqiao laughed angrily at his childish behavior.
"Do you mean that as long as I can get Dr. Liu, you can let him check your leg?"
"Get him to come first and then talk about it." Shen Yue said.
Tang Qiaoqiao: "Just wait."
Tang Qiaoqiao rushed to find Aunt Wang. Shen Yue said that Dr. Liu had known his family for a long time. Aunt Wang has been in the Shen family's house for more than ten years, and she should be familiar with Dr. Liu.
After chatting with Aunt Wang, Tang Qiaoqiao learned that Dr. Liu was not a native of Beijing but from Shaanxi. He moved to Beijing with his parents when he was a teenager. Aunt Wang also said that when Dr. Liu came to give the old Mr. Shen a routine check-up, he often talked about his hometown. He said that he couldn't eat authentic Shaanxi food in Beijing. Aunt Wang had even tried to make it for him several times, but it didn't suit his taste.
Tang Qiaoqiao snapped her fingers and found that there is a way. She personally called Dr. Liu, and the man who answered the phone has a warm voice.
"Hello, Dr. Liu, my name is Tang Qiaoqiao, and I am Shen Yue's wife."
When Dr. Liu heard a strange woman with a soft voice, he thought a patient rudely called his private phone. But when he heard that the other party is from the Shen family, he was a little surprised. "With Shen Yue's stinky temper, there is a woman who would want him?"
Tang Qiaoqiao: '...Well, I think so too.'
Doctor Liu: "Is Shen Yue finally softened, and he wants me to check him up?"
Tang Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "No, I want to invite you to dinner."
"Just for dinner?" Doctor Liu was surprised.
"Yeah, you can be regarded as Shen Yue's uncle. I should treat you for dinner."
Doctor Liu hesitated.
Tang Qiaoqiao: "You must come, or I won't be able to explain to the old lady."
"Okay." Dr. Liu also wanted to see what this woman looked like.
After 12 noon, Dr. Liu came to the villa. Tang Qiaoqiao went to the door to greet him.
Dr. Liu's hair is half-white, but he is very energetic. Although he is old, he still wears a coat printed with cartoon characters, like an old troublemaker.
Doctor Liu was also looking at Tang Qiaoqiao. He liked the girl as soon as he saw her. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also full of vigor and vitality.

Dr. Liu came to the dining room and looked at the empty table. "What are you going to invite me to eat?"
Tang Qiaoqiao: "Sit down for a while ."
After a while, Tang Qiaoqiao put the tray in front of Dr. Liu.
He saw a large bowl of crumbed bread in soup and two meat sandwiches with preserved chili sauce on the plate.
Doctor Liu thought that because Tang Qiaoqiao invited him to dinner, it would be a luxurious dinner, but he didn't expect it to be a snack from his hometown.
Tang Qiaoqiao smiled sweetly. "Dr. Liu, I know that you are from Shaanxi. I prepared it especially for you."
Dr. Liu looked at the dinner tray, then looked at the smiling woman in front of him. He picked up his chopsticks and stretched them out to pick a soaked bun.
Flatbread in Soup, Beef and Mutton Roujiamo, and Noodle soup with Sheep Blood are called the "Three Shaanxi Must Haves".
Compared with the other two must-haves, flatbread in soup is more complicated to make because just cleaning the pig intestines and pork belly takes extra effort. The intestines must undergo at least a dozen processes such as stroking, scraping, turning, plucking, turning back, and bleaching to completely remove the internal dirt. This is not the end. After washing the large intestine and pork belly repeatedly until the color turns white, the cook needs to put the cleaned large intestine into an empty pan to bake to roast the smelly juice in the meat thoroughly. Next, rinse it several times, so the large intestine and pork belly will not have a fishy smell. Then wash the fatty intestines and pork belly, simmer in a pot over medium and low heat until soft and remove it to dry.
The soup base is also very particular. Smash the big bones of a pig to reveal the full bone marrow, and boil it with the pork and an old hen. Add cinnamon, big fennel, grass fruit, star anise, and other spices to cook for two hours until the soup base became rich, creamy white.
For the flatbread, Tang Qiaoqiao made the traditional Shaanxi Baiji steamed bun.
The characteristic of this white bun is that the bottom should be roasted with beautiful golden colors, and the outer skin is crisp.
The roasted white buns are broken into the size of soybeans and placed in a large porcelain bowl. Then the chilled cooked large intestine, cooked pork belly, pork, and chicken are cut into a diagonal shape, neatly stacked on the bun, and placed in a bowl with a handful of blanched vermicelli.
The boiling broth is repeatedly poured on the intestines and buns, then add the sauce, a large handful of fresh garlic sprouts, coriander, and then pour the hot soup again. If you like spicy food, add a spoonful of red oil chili to make it more vigorous.
Dr. Liu picked up a large piece of fat intestine, closed his eyes, and savored it carefully.
The large intestine is extremely soft and tender, fat but not fishy, and very chewy. The soup base of the big bones and chicken is rich and mellow. The umami has been soaked in the intestines, and it is oily but not greasy.
Every piece of steamed bun and every vermicelli has soaked up the soup and is very soft in the mouth.
This handful of garlic sprouts is the finishing touch, extremely fresh and tender. When eaten together with the intestines, it is refreshing and relieving greasiness.
Doctor Liu immersed himself in the food and ate half a bowl of flatbread in soup before finally slowing down his eating speed.
He picked up the Roujiamo pork sandwich with bacon sauce. The half-opened Baiji steamed bun was filled with braised pork.
The braised pork is made by putting the pork belly in the broth, simmering for two hours until caramelized, and it has more than ten kinds of spices. The marinated meat was ruddy in color, simmered extremely soft, and trembling and shiny in hand.
Roujiamo can't be made of lean meat. It must be a combination of fat and lean meat, so it is fatty but not greasy, lean but not woody.
Dr. Liu took a bite of the pork bun. The gravy burst into his mouth instantly, and the fragrance was overflowing. The outer layer of the white bun was so crispy that it would drop juice after a bite.
'It's so enjoyable!'
Tang Qiaoqiao thought that Dr. Liu was in advanced age and might be bloated after eating too much, so she only brought up a bowl of flatbread in soup and two Roujiamos.
Unexpectedly, Dr. Liu ate it all in one go, and even the soup was drunk cleanly.
Then she saw Dr. Liu put down the bowl and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Fresh!"
He hadn't eaten such authentic food from his hometown for a long time. He couldn't help asking Tang Qiaoqiao, "Are you from Shaanxi too?"
Tang Qiaoqiao smiled and shook her head.
"That's weird. How did you make it so authentic? It tastes like it was made by a master from Shaanxi that had made it for decades."
Tang Qiaoqiao smiled. "You only want to say that it is delicious, right?"
"Of course, it is delicious."
"Dr. Liu is very kind."
"I haven't been back to my hometown in the past few years, and I can't find any satisfactory Shaanxi restaurant here, but the gourd head steamed bun you made today is absolutely delicious."
Tang Qiaoqiao: "I still have a bite. I have a lot of intestines and braised pork, and I will bring it back for you later."
"Little girl, you tried to please this old man so much. There must be something."
"Since you asked like this, if I still hide it, I will be rude, isn't it? It is for the one upstairs," Tang Qiaoqiao raised her eyes upstairs. "I would like to ask you to check his body, but I know that he offended you before."
Dr. Liu said with a laugh, "So you gave me gourmet food to please me?"
"Is it effective?" Tang Qiaoqiao said mischievously.
Doctor Liu pretended to sigh, "Short mouth soft hands."
"Ha," Tang Qiaoqiao clapped her hands and laughed, "So you agree."
