Gourmet: Midnight Vending

Chapter 99: The Hospital Ward Comes Alive at Midnight


To reasonably get hospitalized, Old Zhao actually thought up such an illness. The patients crowded in the emergency room were all stunned.

What kind of courage and what kind of conviction does it take to make such a decision?

At the same time, everyone had a tangible concept of how delicious Boss Xiao Chen's food must be.

Isn't it delicious if someone is willing to self-destruct just to eat Boss Xiao Chen's food?

Isn't it delicious if someone is willing to castrate themselves just to eat Boss Xiao Chen's food?

Of course, just removing the useless parts, it's nothing serious.

While others didn't dare to say anything, after Old Zhao proposed his situation, Chang Jianjun immediately signed the paperwork for hospitalization without saying a word.

Following that, those who felt dizzy and couldn't see, admitted!

Those who reportedly lost appetite and hadn't eaten for a month, admitted!

Those with disharmonious marital lives who claimed they needed to check their bodies, admitted, admitted, admitted!

Chang Jianjun accepted everyone, after all, there are so many empty rooms in the inpatient department, if they're empty anyway, why not agree to the patients' requests?

Before long, Chang Jianjun signed over eighty hospitalization procedures for the emergency room, and the inpatient department from the first to the fourth floor was almost full. This even alerted the cafeteria, and Qian Erniu immediately called for more ingredients.

You're not allowed to use appliances or order takeout, but you can't starve yourselves for a few days either, right?

Meanwhile, in room 301, Du Qiming, who was in a daze, felt someone push the door open periodically. He difficultly opened his eyes to see it was a patient in a hospital gown.

People kept coming in, and even a few girls inexplicably ran to his bed to take pictures with him. It's ridiculous!

Liu Chengming on the next bed was dumbfounded, thinking, isn't Xiao Du a surveyor at a construction site? How come this feels like he's a celebrity? But he doesn't really look like one, yet those people came in empty-handed!

As night fell, Liu Xia arrived at the inpatient department with a lunchbox to start her night shift journey tonight.

"Sister Xia, you'll be busy tonight." The handover nurse handed the record book to Liu Xia with a hint of sympathy.

"Oh? A lot of people were admitted this afternoon... What? Eighty-four people? Forty-two rooms?"

No, I just went home to rest for a day, and suddenly four floors are full?

"Yeah, only the VIP rooms on the fifth floor are empty. It means you might have to work a bit harder tonight."

Liu Xia only felt the world spinning. It was normal for no one to stay in the VIP rooms; those can't use medical insurance, so average people don't stay there lightly.

"What happened?" Liu Xia was puzzled, looking at the registration entries in the record book.

There were neurology, surgery, ENT, various departments all included, she pointed to a man's name, "This must be wrong. How did a man get into obstetrics?"

The handover nurse scratched her head, "No idea!"

Liu Xia:凸(艹皿艹)

"Well, Sister Xia, you take care then. I'm off work~ Haven't eaten all day; I'm starving."

Liu Xia waved helplessly, "Take it slow on the road."

Then she sat at the nurse's station and began to slowly go through the record book. This was too bizarre!

Originally planning to find a chance for a quick nap at work, Liu Xia decided to fully wake up. Her main duty was to respond to any patient needs in the rooms by bell ring and check up on it.

Then there was the nightly check rounds; other than that, there wasn't much to do.

Things like hanging IVs were daytime nurse duties.

At 10 PM, the wall bell hadn't rung once, and Liu Xia started to find it strange. Aren't these people supposed to be sick if they're in the hospital?

At 11 PM, Liu Xia vaguely heard loud talking from several rooms. She peeked inside and found people playing games. They're sick and still gaming?

At 12 AM, Liu Xia started feeling sleepy. With many rooms today, she decided to do the night rounds early!

At 12:30 AM, Liu Xia returned from her rounds.

She sat back at her post, feeling that today's situation was overturning her professional understanding; the rounds went particularly smoothly today.

The rooms almost only had two scenarios, either the patients were in deep sleep, sleeping so soundly they didn't look sick at all.

Or they were chatting, gaming, or watching live streams. Liu Xia was puzzled, do these patients know each other? They truly act like old friends, how strange.

Glancing at the time, Liu Xia exhaled, stood up, and prepared to sneak into the small room to heat her meal. While holding her lunchbox, she thought of the late-night snack she had yesterday.

"How about ordering another late-night snack?"

Looking down at her lunchbox, Liu Xia hesitated.

Dr. Chang can eat late-night snacks all he wants, his salary is high, and he wouldn't care about a meal costing three or four hundred. She's just a small nurse, barely earning over two thousand a month.

"Forget it, better stick to my own meal." Liu Xia went into the small break room to heat her food.

At 1 AM.

The intel group, number two.

"Guys, the street vendor is really out, holy crap! Boss Xiao Chen's food cart is heating up!"

Group leader LuLu promptly reported the on-site situation.

The patient group immediately buzzed with excitement.

"What should we do? Wouldn't it be too obvious if we all went out together?"

"I personally suggest we devise a bit of a strategy, at least act unnoticed, we can't let the hospital staff discover us."

"How about this, brothers from the first floor eat first?"

"No way, too many people will get us caught. I say, let's just have the streamer bring us the food, everyone can register what they want in the group, and give the streamer a delivery fee!"

LuLu was a bit confused, wait... I'm the intel head, I'm not a delivery guy!

The patient who suggested this sent a red packet right away, with an annotation on the envelope: Room 208, 2 Mapo Tofu, 2 Braised Chicken, 2 bowls of noodles, and 2 buns.

LuLu instinctively opened the red packet, which showed: 10 Yuan.

So speaking of.

LuLu held up her phone while still live streaming, tilting her head to think, so all I have to do is bring the food from the back door to the nearby room to earn 10 bucks?

The delivery guy would be so jealous if he knew, right?

LuLu received the red packet and replied: Received!

Seeing someone set an example, other patients quickly followed suit, and the group chat was flooded with red packets, each with dish names and quantities on the envelopes. LuLu didn't take them for now.

"Boss Xiao Chen!"

Chen Mo stretched lazily, "Mu Mu, someone's here for business."

Mu Mu grunted a few times but remained motionless.

Damn it... my small bed is taken!

Ever since there was a small bed, Mu Mu turned into a sleep fiend, sleeping as soon as they got to the hospital, then going home when Mu Xin's Maybach arrived. It's maddening.

Chen Mo looked at LuLu, "Here to support the business again, huh? So, what'll it be today?"

LuLu glanced at the pop-up messages in the stream; patients were all in their rooms watching, waiting eagerly, with dish names refreshing crazily.

LuLu gulped and tentatively said.

"You cook, just go ahead and cook, make as much as you want, I'll take it all."

Seeing Chen Mo tilt his head pondering, LuLu added.

"Just get cooking! Hurry, Boss Xiao Chen, someone's going to starve!!!"

Although Chen Mo didn't get it, he held the pan and spatula, seeing LuLu wasn't joking.

Instantly, he got into the zone!
