Chapter 512: Chapter 506: The Story of Baiyu Soup Chapter 512: Chapter 506: The Story of Baiyu Soup When it snowed, it was not too cold.
But in her previous life, Beijing had rarely seen such heavy snowfall.
She stretched out her hand to catch a snowflake.
Her military coat shielded her from most of the snow, but some still landed on her face and hair.
She blinked, causing the moisture on her eyelashes to curl up.
What she wanted to know now was what kind of drills they were going to carry out in what was heavy snowfall.
Their operations were not affected by the snow, or rather, they actually wanted the snow to be part of their exercise.
Tang Yuxin picked up her camera and took a shot.
It was only when her hand emerged from the warm coat that she felt the chilling cold outside, so much that she was unwilling to extend her hand again.
Slowly, all she could see was the cold white snow, and behind the snow, only footprints left on the ground, the direction to which was unfamiliar.
The snow seemed to get heavier and heavier until her vision was almost blurred by its intensity.
Turning around, she retreated back to the shelter of the tent.
Inside, everyone was huddled together, shivering from the cold.
Tang Yuxin started the stove that was placed outside, which was still warm.

They had placed the stove outside due to the fear of carbon monoxide poisoning at night.
No matter how cold it was, safety was their priority.
She added water to it and waited for it to heat up.
Then, she fetched a basin of food from the back kitchen.
It was stir-fried cabbage and tofu, which was the pearl jade and white jade soup that Tang Yuxin usually ate.
Tang Yuxin placed a bowl with one hand and carried some steamed buns with the other.
When Tang Yuxin came back, the water in the kettle was almost boiling.
She put the steamed buns aside and brought the kettle in from outside.
The few people huddled together, not feeling the cold when they curled up, but they could not just neglect to wash their faces, brush their teeth, nor eat, could they?
Li Jia couldn’t hold back anymore, her stomach had been grumbling all morning.
However, it was so cold that she was afraid that whatever she would eat would feel like ice.
Now looking at the steamed buns, they seemed to be warm.
Just like heading towards the guillotine, Li Jia bundled herself up in her quilt, crawled over and indeed crawled out to wash her face and brush her teeth.
When she came back, her face was frozen and devoid of expression.
She grabbed a steamed bun and began eating.
Right now, she could not care less about the quality of the meal.
Since everyone was eating the same thing and no one was complaining, of course, she wouldn’t complain either.
In fact, the taste was quite good.
Eating from the same pot was delicious, even if it was just cabbage and tofu.
Seeing this, the others also endured the cold, went out to brush their teeth and wash their faces, then came back for a meal.
In the harsh winter, having a hot meal and a large cup of hot water made them feel much better, even though they had been unable to do business all day and night.
Actually, having no business was the best situation.
They could just quietly be a backup, no matter who came and who went, as long as there were no incidents, they didn’t have to get injections or take medicine.
They could all safely get through this exercise and then retire successfully.
The snow outside was still falling, and their idleness here was somewhat boring.
Li Jia, however, was playful, and built a snowman outside the tent.
Luckily, Tang Yuxin had a camera.
Since they had nothing else to do, they might as well build a snowman, take a picture, and not let their journey be a waste, not mention being frozen for a night.
By noon, Tang Yuxin went to the logistics department to get food for everyone.
It was the same stir-fried cabbage with rice noodles.
Only they had to eat, the others were fine.
The cook said that they had gone on an exercise and had dry food with them, so they did not need to eat these.
These meals were for them, the reserves, or those who stayed behind.

“This pearl, jade, and white jade soup is delicious.”
Li Jia was finding joy in sorrow.
She picked up her chopsticks and picked a piece of tofu into her bowl.
“What white jade soup, where did you see it?” Lin Yile stirred the contents of her bowl, “It’s either tofu or cabbage, or maybe rice noodles.
There’s no meat at all, where’s the white jade, where’s the jadeite?”
“This is not jade,” Li Jia picked up a piece of tofu, “This is white jade,” she put down the tofu and then picked up a piece of cabbage, “This is jadeite, and this…” she shook the bowl in her hand, “This is pearl jade and white jade soup.”
A twitch appeared at the corner of Lin Yile’s eye.
What a high-class name.
“Of course, there’s a story behind this pearl, jade, and white jade soup.
Do you want to hear it?”
Li Jia leaned in closer to Lin Yile, a hint of mystery on her face.
“What?” Lin Yile bit her chopsticks.
Eating cabbage in this cold weather was like being a dog.
If they didn’t talk about it, how would they pass the time?
“Let me tell you,” Li Jia leaned closer to Lin Yile.
Although her voice was low, everyone present could hear her clearly, even if they were not eavesdropping.
Tang Yuxin ate her meal without even glancing at her.
Meanwhile, Li Jia was still narrating slowly and steadily.
“You didn’t know, for a while, Yuxin really liked to eat this.
Those days when she performed surgery on people, she vomited blood.
She should be well nourished, right?”
Lin Yile was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat.
Anyone who vomits blood from surgery, being a doctor is indeed a high-risk profession.
She quickly nodded her head, “Yes, she needs to be nourished.
Definitely needs to be nourished.
She’s vomited blood, who knows how much good food it would take to replenish that?”
“Guess what Yuxin replenished with during that time?”
Li Jia took a bite of her steamed bun, as if she was enjoying some delicacy.
“What?” Lin Yile’s spirit was suddenly rejuvenated, it seemed that the story made the cold more bearable.
“Just this,” Li Jia pushed the bowl she was holding forward, “pearl, jade, and white jade soup.
She ate this every day, three meals a day, two buns per meal, and never missed a single meal.”
“At that time, we thought her family was bankrupt and couldn’t afford to eat, so they were so poor that they could only eat these things.
Even the hospital director knew about it, and we even raised funds for her.”
With a “puff”…
Lin Yile sprayed out the rice that she had just eaten.
And also sprayed Li Jia’s face with rice.
Li Jia touched her face and suddenly opened her mouth wide, crying into the arms of a nurse next to her.
“I’m sorry,” Lin Yile quickly covered her mouth, “I didn’t mean to,” she apologized, she hurriedly apologized, she insisted on apologizing, she really, really didn’t mean it, she truly didn’t mean it.
