A Time Travel Effort in the 70s

Chapter 189 Going to the cafeteria to eat

After reading these documents, Shen Jiaren's biggest thought was that the person who made the document was really careful and took all the quantities into consideration, but there was only one copy and the quantities could easily be tampered with.

However, Shen Jiaren thought that if she could see it, others could probably see it too, so there should be countermeasures. However, this was not something she needed to worry about.

The most important thing for me right now is to get familiar with this place first.

At noon, Nurse Xiao Zhao came to ask Shen Jiaren to go to the cafeteria to have lunch together. She said that Doctor Wu saw that Nurse Xiao Zhao and Shen Jiaren were quite familiar with each other, so he asked her to take Shen Jiaren to familiarize herself with the pharmacy and the hospital.

Shen Jiaren really has a big question mark in her head.

They kept signaling to Dr. Zhao not to get too close to them, but they were still seen.

Shen Jiaren sighed, followed Xiao Zhao and went to the cafeteria together.

However, it is not without disadvantages to go with Nurse Xiao Zhao. Nurse Xiao Zhao loves gossip, and I also love gossip. In addition, I have just arrived in this new place, so gossip is very important.

Nurse Xiao Zhao was seen talking to Shen Jiaren non-stop, while Shen Jiaren was listening and observing the buildings and roads on both sides.

It turns out that this pharmacy is really a kind of warehouse. The reason why it is separated out is because it combines Chinese and Western medicine. Western medicine cannot fully meet the demand now, so Chinese medicine is needed as a supplement.

In addition, most of the doctors in this hospital are traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, with only a small number of Western medicine practitioners, which means that there must be people familiar with traditional Chinese medicine in the subsequent supply chain.

Nurse Xiao Zhao's description reminded Shen Jiaren of a TV drama she had watched before. Although she didn't remember it clearly, there were doctors sitting in the clinic, people who ran errands, collected money, dispensed and weighed medicine, and people who did odd jobs in the warehouse.

This is more like a general term for warehouse miscellaneous work.

Although I don’t remember the name Shen Jiaren, the function is similar.

But there is another interesting thing. Nurse Xiao Zhao said that the person in charge of the pharmacy is Dr. Wu, but she is basically in a semi-retired state now, and the main person in charge of the pharmacy is Dr. Han.

The main doctors in the pharmacy are Dr. Han, Dr. Qin, and Dr. Xu. The current trainees are Xiao Zhao, apprentice Xiao Han, and myself.

According to the apprenticeship situation, there should be one doctor with one apprentice, but this situation was broken before Shen Jiaren came.

Nurse Xiao Zhao was hesitant and didn't explain the reason for the break, but looking at the situation, Shen Jiaren probably thought it had little to do with Xiao Zhao, otherwise she would definitely tell her.

Another point worth gossiping about is that Apprentice Xiao Han is Doctor Han’s niece.

Although she is a niece, she is treated no differently from my biological daughter and I have raised her since she was a child.

But what’s interesting is that the doctor in the warehouse, in addition to managing the entry and exit of the warehouse, also occasionally goes to the outpatient clinic in front to see patients.

As for why we spend most of our time in the warehouse, a big part of the reason is to control the quality and quantity of purchased Chinese medicine.

Nurse Xiao Zhao had just finished gossiping about the warehouse's personnel structure when she arrived at the hospital cafeteria.

The hospital cafeteria is in a corner of the hospital. It is a two-story building. The first floor is the large cafeteria, and the second floor is the hospital's small cafeteria.

However, in addition to a common exit with the large cafeteria on the first floor, the small cafeteria on the second floor also has a separate exit on the side.

To eat in the cafeteria, you need to use the cafeteria's meal ticket, which must be exchanged for food coupons and money, and this cafeteria meal ticket can only be used in the hospital's internal cafeteria.

Because it was Shen Jiaren's first day at work and the entry procedures could not be completed until the afternoon, she did not have time to purchase meal tickets from the logistics department.

Nurse Zhao knew that Shen Jiaren had not yet completed the job registration process and had not exchanged meal tickets, so she gave Shen Jiaren a few tickets and told her to use them first and return them to her when she started work in the afternoon and bought meal tickets.

When Shen Jiaren and Nurse Xiao Zhao arrived at the cafeteria, there was already a long line inside.

When Shen Jiaren entered the cafeteria, she looked around, wanting to see if there was anything written on the menu so that she could see what she would eat today.

Nurse Xiao Zhao saw Shen Jiaren looking around, and then she said to her, "What are you looking at? What's so good about this cafeteria?"

"I want to see if there is a place that says today's menu. I want to see what we're having today and whether this ticket is enough."

“These tickets are definitely enough, you can use them without worry.

As for what to eat, it's all laid out, there's no menu.

Only when there is meat will they write what is on special today at the entrance of the cafeteria.

However, the small canteen on the second floor serves individual dishes, not the big pot meals on the first floor.

If you have a lot of money or food coupons, you can go upstairs to buy them.

The upstairs is usually used by receptionists, leaders and the like.

We also go there occasionally to improve our lives, but because of money, we go less often before and after payday.

By the way, there is another cafeteria in the hospital next to the inpatient department where you were staying. That cafeteria mainly serves hospitalized patients and their families. We hospital staff can also go there, but not many of us go there.

But I advise you not to go there. Some doctors who ate there were blocked by the family members of the hospitalized patients, which made them unhappy. So later, few hospital staff went there to eat. "

Shen Jiaren looked at Nurse Xiao Zhao's complete knowledge of the hospital and wanted to ask, "Didn't you say you have only been working here for a short time? Then how do you know everything so clearly? Also, how did you get transferred from the inpatient department to here?"

However, as there were too many people here and it was inconvenient to chat, Shen Jiaren did not ask. Instead, like Nurse Xiao Zhao, she stood on tiptoe to see what was available.

"Xiao Shen, I see that today's meat dish is minced meat and eggplant. We are in for a treat today. We also have white flour steamed buns, two-grain flour steamed buns, and brown rice.

What do you want to eat?

Should I eat steamed buns or rice? "

After Xiao Zhao finished speaking, he leaned close to Shen Jiaren's ear and whispered, "When you get your meal later, you can get a little more and take it home to eat.

Some people eat a little more in the morning, afternoon and evening, so that they can have more when they get home.

Some people just buy an extra copy and take it home directly.

But in reality, the hospital has a rule that you can’t buy extra food, all food is rationed.”

Shen Jiaren nodded and asked quietly, "If you want to hit more, how much more can you hit?"

“Anyway, whenever I see people playing, they always play one and a half, so you can do that if you want.

But I don’t need it. The cafeteria provides three meals a day and sometimes even midnight snacks.

Besides, I have food to eat when I get home, so I don’t need it.

But when there is a special supply, I will buy a little more to bring back for my family to eat.”

When Shen Jiaren heard Xiao Zhao mention breakfast and noon for the first time, she didn't pay much attention. But when he mentioned it for the second time, Shen Jiaren realized that this meant that the hospital sold three meals a day, breakfast and noon, and they had to be bought with food coupons. So what was the difference between that and buying them at the grain station?

When Shen Jiaren saw Xiao Zhao and herself, she didn't say a word and prepared to get her meal first.

When she walked to the cafeteria window to get food, Shen Jiaren found that there were indeed eggplants in the window, but she did not see any minced meat, but she did smell the smell of lard.

In addition to eggplants, there were also cabbages and potatoes at the window. Seeing this, Shen Jiaren ordered a portion of eggplant, a portion of cabbage, and a steamed bun made of two grams of flour.

Xiao Zhao ordered a portion of eggplant, a portion of vermicelli, and two white flour buns.

Nurse Xiao Zhao led Shen Jiaren to an empty spot in the cafeteria and sat down.

“Eat quickly, I can smell pork in the minced pork vermicelli and minced pork eggplant.

If you don’t eat it quickly, it will get cold and feel a bit greasy.”

Shen Jiaren nodded and quickly started eating.

You know what, this meal is quite fragrant. Although there is no taste of lard in the cabbage, I don’t know why, it just tastes very good.

Shen Jiaren didn’t taste the minced meat in the eggplant with minced meat, but she tasted lard residue. Although there was not much, and they were just small crushed residues, they were really delicious.

Xiao Zhao saw Shen Jiaren eating without saying a word, and he knew that he would have a companion for meals from now on.
