Chapter 847: The Hot Stone Cauldron
Ling Qingxue, who witnessed this scene, couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
The waiter was also stunned, just watching the stone pot smash at the middle-aged female employee, and his mind went blank.
You must know that this stone pot does not seem to have a little temperature, but it is actually carved from a whole stone, and it is already boiling hot when cooking, and the grilled fish is baked by using the characteristics of the stone pot to dissipate evenly.
The waiter will remind the guests to be careful when touching the stone pot.
At this time, if you pour a spoonful of oil on top of the stone pot, it will definitely boil immediately, and you can imagine what kind of tragedy it will be like if such a stone pot is smashed on a person.
Among the four people, only Xia Ruofei's brain is the most sober, and his reaction far exceeds that of ordinary people.
So just as the waiter's hand softened and the stone pot slid down from the tray, he reacted almost instantly, got up and took a step, and reached out to support the tray.
However, in the end, it was still a step slow.
More than half of the stone pot had slipped out of the edge of the tray, and the center of gravity was already outside the tray, and at this time, the tray was reversed upward, and the stone pot suddenly tilted downward, falling towards the back of the middle-aged female employee.
Ling Qingxue didn't dare to look at it anymore, she couldn't imagine that such a hot stone pot fell on her back.
However, Xia Ruofei's second reaction was also quite fast, he quickly stretched out his left hand and grabbed the stone pot directly.
With a clang, the lid of the pot fell to the ground, and the fragrant grilled fish inside also fell, and a small amount of hot soup finally splashed on the middle-aged female employee, and she couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.
However, whether it was the waiter who served the food or Ling Qingxue, they were already stunned at this time.
Xia Ruofei grabbed the burning stone cauldron with his bare hands! Wouldn't this hand be burned to the point that the skin and flesh were broken?
It wasn't until Xia Ruofei quickly put down the stone pot and then quickly let go of his hand that Ling Qingxue screamed, stood up in a panic, and asked repeatedly, "Ruofei......! How's your hand?"
The waiter was also trembling with fright, the tray had already fallen to the ground, and he almost crawled to Xia Ruofei's side, and asked in a trembling voice, "Sir, how is your hand hurt?"
This hot stone pot is caught in the hand, even if it is very short, it will not be able to stand it! Maybe the meat will be cooked.
If a customer is hurt like this because of his mistake in the store, then he is really unlucky, not to mention losing money, and most of his job will be lost.
It's almost the Chinese New Year, and it's really unlucky to encounter such a thing......
Xia Ruofei also felt a hot pain in his hand, although he had subconsciously spread the true qi in the palm of his hand when he took the stone pot, but the true qi was never omnipotent, even if it could block a certain amount of heat, but the rest was enough for him to drink a pot.
However, he didn't bother to check his injury, and asked with concern, "Auntie, how are you?"
Xia Ruofei could see it clearly, a lot of those hot soups fell on the back of this middle-aged female employee, she was just an ordinary person, but she didn't have any true qi to protect her body, and she was afraid that she would not be hurt well this time.
The middle-aged female employee was a little shocked, and snorted bitterly and said, "Young man...... I...... I'm fine...... but your hand...... Let's take a look......"
Although she had her back to a few people at the time of the incident, she had already subconsciously turned around when the waiter bumped into her, so she could see the scene of Xia Ruofei catching the stone pot with her bare hands.
At this time, the middle-aged female employee was full of gratitude, but also very apologetic, and a little frightened.
Xia Ruofei stretched out his left hand and took a look, his fingers and palms were already showing a strange red, and several places on his knuckles were blistering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This time it's not light.
When Ling Qingxue saw the tragic state of Xia Ruofei's hand, her tears couldn't help but fall down, and she sobbed and said, "Ruofei, why are you so stupid? This stone pot is so hot, how can you pick it up with ......your hands? Does it hurt?"
It's a lie to say that it doesn't hurt, but this kind of pain is completely within Xia Ruofei's tolerance range, thinking that when he was in the lone wolf commando, anti-interrogation training was a compulsory course for every team member.
To put it bluntly, this course is a simulation of the torture of the enemy after being captured, and it is all torture with real knives and guns, although it will not cause permanent damage to the body, but those old birds of the special forces know very well which parts of the body can cause maximum pain.
can survive that kind of training, and now this kind of burn, even if it is ten fingers connected to the heart, Xia Ruofei can still bear it.
What's more, if he didn't catch the stone pot just now, the middle-aged female employee would definitely be severely burned, and at the moment of lightning, he didn't have time to think too much, it was completely subconscious.
Xia Ruofei grinned and said, "It's okay, Qingxue, don't worry! This kind of scalding just looks scary, and it will be fine in a few days......"
Speaking of this, there was a throbbing pain in his fingers, this kind of burn was a burst of throbbing, and Xia Ruofei couldn't help but hiss when he was caught off guard.
Ling Qingxue was even more distressed when she saw it, and hurriedly said, "You can still laugh! Let's go to the hospital quickly!"
Xia Ruofei said: "What are you going to the hospital for? I can deal with a small injury myself!"
After speaking, he took his bag with his uninjured right hand, reached in and groped for it, and actually took out a small box of ointment from the Lingtu space.
Xia Ruofei always has a lot of this ointment, which is actually some common bruising medicine boiled into ointment, and then mixed with some Lingxin flower petal solution.
Although the ingredients of Lingxin flower petals are very small, whether it is trauma, scalding or mosquito bites, the effect is very good.
Xia Ruofei then took out a box of silver needles from his bag, which is also usually placed in the space for backup, and now his level of traditional Chinese medicine has improved rapidly, and this silver needle is used for acupuncture.
"Young man, please light this alcohol stove. Xia Ruofei said to the waiter with a pleasant face.
There is an alcohol stove on the table, and a stone pot is placed on top of the grilled fish to maintain the temperature of the dish.
After the frightened waiter lit the alcohol stove with trembling hands, Xia Ruofei picked up a silver needle and sterilized it on the fire, and then spread out his injured left hand.
He thought for a moment, and then said to the waiter, "Do you have a first aid kit or anything like that?" I need some gauze and bandages. ”
"Yes, yes!" the waiter hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, I'll look for it right away!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded, and when the waiter went to get something, Xia Ruofei said to the middle-aged female employee again: "Auntie, wait a minute, I'll take care of the injury on my hand." ”
He knew that the female employee was also burned, but not as badly as on his hands.
The middle-aged female employee said gratefully: "Young man, thank you so much this time!"
"You're welcome!Everyone is fine!" Xia Ruofei grinned, "It's about to be the New Year, how troublesome it would be if you were injured and admitted to the hospital?"
Ling Qingxue on the side couldn't help but tears rippled, and she also complained a little about Xia Ruofei in her heart: You all know that the New Year is coming soon, what are you doing? Now that your hands are injured like this, how can you spend this year?
It's just that in front of the middle-aged female employee, Ling Qingxue can't say too much, lest she feel more guilty.
Soon the waiter came running with a small first-aid kit - this kind of thing is usually stocked with one or two in the store, just to prevent such a customer from being injured or suddenly ill.
He came with him, as well as the store manager with a nervous look on his face.
As soon as the store manager heard that the customer was burned, he was also scared, this year the customer is God, people were injured in your store, and it was caused by the employee's mistake, but it was all reasonable, and the lion opened his mouth to ask for compensation?
The store manager said carefully, "Sir, I'm the manager of this store, I'm very sorry......"
Xia Ruofei waved his hand to interrupt him and said, "I'm sorry, I'll deal with the injury on my hand first!"
The store manager saw that Xia Ruofei's hands were hot like that, and there were several big blisters, so he couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, and hurriedly said, "Sir, this is ...... We'll take care of all the medical expenses!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "No need!"
He put the silver needle on the fire again to sterilize it, and then without hesitation, he punctured a blister with one needle, without even frowning.
The large blisters deflated at a rate visible to the naked eye, and a lot of pus flowed out at the same time.
According to the folk treatment method, after the blister is punctured, a hair strand is strung so that the pus can continue to flow out and will not accumulate inside.
However, Xia Ruofei obviously didn't need it.
Everyone, including Ling Qingxue, was too frightened to look at it, but Xia Ruofei still pricked the blisters one by one, released the pus inside, and then wiped the pus off with gauze.
Then he opened the box and applied the ointment evenly to the wound.
The Lingxin Flower petals in the ointment had very few ingredients, so it didn't have such an obvious effect, but Xia Ruofei still felt a burst of coolness, and the pain was reduced a lot.
Finally, Xia Ruofei put gauze on the pad and bandaged the burned part with a bandage.
Although he only had one hand to use, Xia Ruofei's movements were still very skillful, and in the case of using his teeth to cooperate, he didn't need help at all, and he easily completed the final bandage.
The store manager saw Xia Ruofei dealing with the injury with ease, and his heart was also a lot more settled - it seems that this person should not open his mouth, otherwise he would go directly to the hospital at this time, and what's more, if the compensation is not negotiated, people will not let the wound be treated at all, and the more miserable it looks, the more compensation he will get!
The store manager considered the wording, and when he was about to speak, Xia Ruofei took the lead and said to the middle-aged female employee with a pleasant face: "Auntie, my ointment has a very good effect on burns, and the rest will be given to you, you should hurry up and get some medicine! If it is inconvenient for you to take medicine, find a female colleague to help you!"
The place where the middle-aged female employee burned was on her back, Xia Ruofei naturally inconvenient to give her medicine, and everyone in this lobby was in full view, so she couldn't let the family pick up her clothes! It just so happened that there was not much left in this small box of ointment, so Xia Ruofei simply gave it to this middle-aged female employee.
The female employee took the ointment with a grateful face, her lips trembled a few times, and she didn't know how to express the gratitude in her heart.
Seeing this, the store manager said, "Aunt Qin, you go to the medicine first!
This middle-aged female employee's clothes are full of soup, and she obviously can't wear them anymore.
The middle-aged female employee gratitiously took the ointment and found a place to take the medicine.
The store manager couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, and he said: "Sir, I'm really sorry that such a thing happened, don't worry, we will definitely bear the responsibility for compensation!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said: "It's good that people are okay! we don't want compensation, to be honest, we don't have to lose this little money......
"That's not good, it's our intention anyway, otherwise we really don't want to go!" the store manager was overjoyed, but he still said.
Xia Ruofei said: "In this case, let me put forward two conditions!"
The store manager's expression was slightly stagnant, and he said in his heart that he had dug a pit and buried himself, and he would have known that he would not be polite.
He had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face and said, "You say! As long as we can do it, we will do it!"
