Chapter 397 We are both talented and beautiful!
The rice was good rice, and the noodles were good noodles; before long, an enticing aroma filled the air.
The chef ladled out the noodles and added some pickled vegetables. He asked, "Girl, would you like some? I'll share some with you."
Qiao Manman shook her head: "You eat, I'll have some porridge later!"
The chef didn't insist. He picked up the bowl, stirred it, and put a noodle in his mouth.
Qiao Manman watched as the soot floating in the air fell into the bowl, and blurted out, "Ash!"
The head chef waved his hand: "A little dirt won't hurt you. Hmm, these noodles are chewy and smooth, but the sauce is not good."
If I had the ingredients, I could make some stir-fried pork or scrambled eggs with tomatoes—that would be wonderful!
"The chef really knows how to eat!" Qiao Manman waited for him to put down his bowl and then asked, "How are you feeling? Are you dizzy or lightheaded?"
"No, it tastes pretty good and I'm quite satisfied!" The head chef rubbed his belly. "I wish I could eat a bowl of plain noodles every day!"
"Yes, it won't be long before we can all eat refined rice and flour!"
Just then, an old man came down from the mountain. He was very agile when he ran, but he always had a hunched back.
After asking around for directions, he rushed straight towards Qiao Manman.
She ran and shouted, "Dr. Qiao Manman, which one of you is Dr. Qiao Manman!"
Qiao Manman stepped forward: "I'm from the same hometown, what's wrong?"
"Ah, you're the team doctor the deputy commander mentioned? You're so young!"
Just as Qiao Manman was about to explain, she saw him turn around: "I burned my back. The deputy commander surnamed Lu said you have some medicine. Can you apply it for me?"
Qiao Manman nodded: "Okay, Grandpa, come with me to the tent!"
"Okay, okay! Ni'er, hurry up, I need to go upstairs to help in a bit!"
Qiao Manman smiled: "Okay!"
She held back but couldn't help asking him, "How is Lu Yuan?"
"You mean that deputy regimental commander? He's pretty good, probably quite capable. He brought the fire under control as soon as he arrived!"
In my opinion, this fire will be put out soon!
Qiao Manman breathed a sigh of relief.
The old man became curious: "What's your relationship with that deputy regimental commander?"
Qiao Manman frankly stated, "He is my man!"
"Huh?" The old man was stunned for two seconds, then realized what he meant and exclaimed, "You two are a perfect match, a match made in heaven!"
Qiao Manman corrected: "We are both beautiful and talented!"
"Ah, haha, the girl is right!"
Before long, the two arrived at their destination.
Qiao Manman made the old man lie down and carefully peeled off the clothes stuck to his wound.
Even though she moved very gently, the old man still winced in pain.
"Don't move, it'll be over soon!" Qiao Manman reminded her.
Seeing this, Yuan Yarong came over to help: "Go get the medicine, I'll treat his wound!"
Qiao Manman nodded and unscrewed the ointment bottle.
Only after Yuan Yarong lifted her clothes, popped the blisters, and squeezed out the pus did she hand over the bottle.
Yuan Yarong looked at the brush in the bottle, feeling a pang of regret: "Will this thing even work?"
"Yes, yes, yes, use it without worry!" Logically speaking, they shouldn't be used interchangeably, but given the current situation, how can each person have one?
Therefore, Qiao Manman added anti-inflammatory and antibacterial powder to the ointment to ensure that there would be no cross-infection.
Of course, she wasn't afraid of anything unexpected happening. With the Rejuvenation Pill, she could cure even the most troublesome ailments.
"I mean, won't it hurt when this brush is scraped on the skin?"
"Just bear the pain! Your skin is all rotten, how can it not hurt!"
Qiao Manman said matter-of-factly, "Just bear with it, the ointment contains pain-relieving ingredients."
Yuan Yarong wanted to ask, "Do you have any sterilized cotton balls?"
Then she thought, if such a thing really existed, Qiao Manman wouldn't refuse to use it.
What she didn't know was that Qiao Manman had everything, but she was just too lazy to use it. Applying a thicker layer of ointment was more effective, but she was too lazy to keep changing the dressings.
"Okay, I'll try to be gentle!"
He then took a brush, dipped it in some ointment, and gently applied it to the villager's wound.
The old man listened to them talk for a long time, thinking it would be extremely painful.
Who would have thought that after being pricked at the beginning, I felt a cool sensation.
It was as if the flames on my body had been suppressed, and the burning sensation and tingling all over my body were gone.
"Wow, this is amazing! I'm cured?"
"No, it's just that the injury has been temporarily controlled. I've decided that I'll need at least three to five days to recover."
"Won't that stop me from going up the mountain? There's a shortage of manpower on the mountain, I'll go help out!" He said, getting up to leave.
Qiao Manman stopped him: "No, no, your wound hasn't scabbed over yet, you'll tear it open if you pull too hard!"
"Dr. Qiao, has my wound scabbed over? I've been lying here all night. Let this fellow villager rest; I'll go up the mountain for him!"
Qiao Manman went over to take a look and saw that the thick ointment had been absorbed, leaving only a thin layer.
Gently lift it up, and you'll see the rolled-up skin covered with a thin scab.
"You're recovering well, have some porridge before you go!"
He said he was going out to check if the porridge was ready.
Xia Zhao followed behind her, and after confirming that it was safe to drink, he brought the pot back directly.
When Qiao Manman served the young man porridge, she casually added a top-grade Rejuvenation Pill and a vial of nutrient solution to it.
After he finished drinking, I handed him a small Rejuvenation Pill: "Let's go, be careful on the road, and if you feel unwell anywhere, go down the mountain to see a doctor immediately!"
"Thank you, Dr. Qiao!" The young man felt refreshed after putting on his clothes.
Seeing this, the others also came over to line up: "Dr. Qiao, can you take a look at me? Can I rejoin the line?"
Qiao Manman checked on everyone one by one and found that everyone was recovering well.
"Sure, sure, have something to drink before you go! Oh, right, the head chef should have some steamed buns, go ask him, eat your fill before you go up the mountain."
What was that young man's name again? I'll get him a couple too. I couldn't remember just now, honestly, my memory's failing me...
Qiao Manman kept repeating, "Don't find me annoying, okay? I just have no experience and I'm a little uneasy!"
"No, no, you did a great job!" Yuan Yarong watched the whole thing from the side and thought that apart from being a little careless, Qiao Manman's medical skills were really excellent.
At least she didn't have the ability to get everyone back to normal in such a short time.
In less than half an hour, most of the wounded were gone from the tent.
The medical staff breathed a sigh of relief and finally had time to get some sleep.
The head chef shouted, "The food is ready! Come and eat!"
Ma Dandan jumped up and ran forward: "Uncle, give me a couple of bites!"
"Eat up, eat up! Someone is bringing food over, so we're not short of rations for now!"
Ma Dandan was overjoyed: "Really? Then I'll have another half steamed bun!"
"Okay, okay, come get more if you need more! Are those patients awake yet? I'll bring them some."
"I'll take it back after I finish eating!" Ma Dandan said, speeding up her eating.
A moment later, he carried a large basin into the tent and woke up the patients who were still unconscious: "Eat something before you rest!"
Qiao Manman went over to help, and while stirring with a spoon, she secretly added ingredients to the mixture.
As a result, the injured person's condition improved significantly after the meal, leading them to suspect that they had taken a super tonic.
