After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

Chapter 62: Milk cake causes food poisoning, I should protect you

Early the next morning, Ding Xirui went to the clinic with Lin Mingxuan.

Recently, more and more people have come to the clinic for diarrhea, mostly because they like to stay cool in the summer and eat too much raw and cold food. For patients with mild symptoms, the three people at Jishitang do not prescribe treatment, but recommend that patients adjust their diet, eat more warm food, and drink more water to improve. For severe cases, emergency treatment is provided through acupoint pressing and acupuncture, and then some antidiarrheal drugs are prescribed. At the same time, like patients with mild symptoms, they are asked to change their eating habits.

"It's time to put new content on the board at the door." After sending the patient away, Ding Xirui said to Lin Mingxuan.

"New content? Oh~Preventing summer diarrhea." Lin Mingxuan understood, and immediately called Mingshi to cut a large piece of paper, and then wrote the content and gave it to Master Lin and Lin Mingyuan for review.

"Not bad." The father and son nodded.

Ding Xirui came out from the backyard with the paste, and the two of them pasted the paper outside the door together.

At this time, several people staggered out of a nearby restaurant. They supported each other and walked towards the clinic. One of them vomited outside the door.

Ding Lin and the other man quickly helped a few people into the room. They were waiters and chefs from the restaurant. They were holding their stomachs, their faces were distorted, and they could hardly stand up. Before Lin Mingxuan and his two sons started asking questions, one of them anxiously asked where the toilet was.

Several people were vomiting and some were going to the toilet, and the clinic was suddenly in chaos.

"Doctor Lin, I feel sick and want to vomit. I want to go to the toilet."

"Me too."

"Me too."

Others also responded.

The father and his two sons were given emergency injections, and they finally seemed to calm down a little.

Several people showed the same symptoms at the same time. Could it be that someone poisoned them? Master Lin couldn't help but doubt it. But Ding Xirui thought that this was most likely a case of food poisoning.

"When did you all start to show these symptoms?" asked Master Lin.

"Just now, about quarter of an hour ago." A man who looked a little stronger answered.

"What did you eat?" Lin Mingyuan asked.

"The restaurant's breakfast is the same as usual, with leftover buns and soy milk," the man continued.

"Are the buns made today?" Lin Mingxuan asked.

"Yes, the meat was bought at the morning market. It's fine. A lot of people ate it, and I didn't see anyone causing trouble. So there shouldn't be any problem." The man began to groan again.

"Yes, I also bought the buns at their restaurant," said Akashi.

"Anything else? Did you eat anything else?" Ding Xirui asked.

"What else did I eat?" he began to recall.

A big-eyed guy lying down suddenly raised his head and said, "It can't be related to that plate of milk cake."

"What milk cake?" Master Lin asked hurriedly. If the milk cake was simply spoiled, there would be no need to involve the government. He had been interacting with the government too frequently recently.

"The boss sent it last night. The food was prepared this morning and we had it as a snack." the man said.

"Do you have any more milk cake?" Lin Mingyuan asked.

"No more, we've finished eating." The waiter said, and lay down on the board again.

"Did you drink anything?" Lin Mingxuan asked.

"I'm drinking the herbal tea from the kitchen, which was just made and cooled this morning." said a dark-skinned guy.

"Me too."

"Me too."

"Is there anyone else in the restaurant who ate the same food as you?" Ding Xirui asked.

"There are two sisters-in-law who came to help. They just arrived and drank herbal tea, but did not have breakfast or eat milk cake." The slightly stronger man answered.

"Are they also suffering from vomiting and diarrhea?" Ding Xirui asked.

"I don't know. They've been busy in the backyard," the man replied.

Ding Xirui glanced at Lin Mingxuan and said, "Dad, big brother, Mingxuan and I will go to the restaurant to take a look. If the restaurant's sister-in-law also has this problem, it may be a problem with the tea."

"Okay, go quickly and come back soon." Master Lin signaled them to go quickly.

The two went to the restaurant and seeing that there was no one in the hall, they went straight to the backyard.

The two sisters-in-law were washing rice. Lin Mingxuan walked up to them and said, "Sisters-in-law, I am the doctor of Jishiditang. Several chefs in your restaurant have vomited and had diarrhea just now. The situation is quite serious. May I ask if you two are feeling unwell?"

"No." said a thin sister-in-law.

"They are sick, no wonder someone always went to the toilet just now." said the fat sister-in-law.

"You two also drank herbal tea after arriving at the restaurant today, right?" Ding Xirui asked.

"Yes, I felt a little hot when I came in, so I drank the herbal tea in the hall. There were other guests having breakfast at that time, and some of them drank it too." said the thin sister-in-law.

The two returned to the clinic and told Mr. Lin and Lin Mingyuan that the suspicion of herbal tea had been ruled out, and now the finger was pointed at the milk cake. At this time, the restaurant's boss Su hurried in.

"Oh, why did you all fall down? How can I do business at noon?" Boss Su was very worried when he saw several people lying on the board.

"Boss, there's nothing we can do. We can't get up at all." Someone said in a hoarse voice.

"Oh!" Boss Su sighed heavily.

Master Lin tried to persuade him, "Boss Su, this disease is like a mountain falling on us. No one can help. Don't worry. The three of us have already given acupuncture to the masters. They should be able to recover soon."

"Why did they fall down at the same time?" the boss was puzzled and walked forward to check on his employees.

"Boss Su, it might be a problem with the milk cake. Where did you buy the milk cake yesterday?" Lin Mingyuan said.

"What does this have to do with milk cake? My whole family of eight ate milk cake and nothing happened." Boss Su was anxious.

The Lin family members looked at each other, and the father and his son all frowned. Logically speaking, the snacks were only a few hours old, so they shouldn't have gone bad, but the biggest possibility was that there was something wrong with the milk cake. Ding Xirui seemed to have understood.

She thought for a moment and asked, "Boss Su, when did your family eat the milk cake?"

"I queued up to buy them in the evening and took them home to share with my family."

"So where was the plate they were eating from yesterday?"

"Xiao Wu, where did you put it?" Boss Su asked a petite boy.

"It's in the kitchen." the boy replied.

After listening to this, Ding Xirui said, "The problem lies with the milk cake."

Breakfast and herbal tea are fine, but milk cakes seem to be fine, but they are more problematic. Because milk and dairy products are easily contaminated by staphylococci, if contaminated cakes are left for too long at summer temperatures, they will produce staphylococcal enterotoxins that are enough to cause food poisoning.

"Why? Do you want to slander me?" Boss Su's eyes widened and he took a step closer to Ding Xirui. Ding Xirui was caught off guard and took a step back. Seeing this, Lin Mingxuan hurried over, stretched out his arms to protect her, and said sternly: "Boss Su, please respect yourself."

Master Lin walked over and said, "Boss Su, don't worry. My daughter-in-law has been studying medicine since she was a child and is also quite knowledgeable about diet. You might as well listen to her."

"I'm sorry, I was too impatient. I hope the young lady won't mind." Boss Su lowered his head and apologized to Ding Xirui.

"Boss Su, the problem lies with the milk cake, but it's not your fault. Sorry, I didn't finish what I was saying just now." Ding Xirui regained his composure and said:

"Several chefs ate the restaurant's breakfast, drank the restaurant's herbal tea, and ate milk cakes, and developed symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea; restaurant guests who bought breakfast, such as Mingshi, did not experience any discomfort; the two sisters-in-law drank the herbal tea and did not feel any discomfort. Therefore, we speculated that it was the milk cakes that were the problem. Moreover, milk cakes are indeed special."

"Milk cake, how could it be? It only took a few hours." Boss Su was puzzled. The price of milk cake was not low. He wanted to reward some of his waiters, so he sent a plate to the restaurant.

"Milk cake is different from the cakes we usually eat. It is easy to spoil when the weather is hot. It was left in the kitchen for a few hours. The kitchen is hot, so the milk cake spoiled quietly." Ding Xirui went on to explain.

"But we didn't taste anything strange?" said a waiter.

"Although there is no peculiar smell, it is already rotten. If it could be placed on ice, it might be able to be preserved longer and would not spoil so easily. But it is better to eat things made from cow's milk as soon as possible, especially in summer," said Ding Xirui.

"Are you serious?" Boss Su was a little unconvinced.

"Really." Ding Xirui nodded.

"Then I, Su, would like to thank the young madam." It is better to believe it than not to believe it. In the future, restaurants must be more careful with milk. Business cannot be delayed, Boss Su thought secretly in his heart.

The few people who had been treated gradually regained some strength. Boss Su paid them and took them back to the restaurant. Food poisoning comes quickly and goes away quickly, so they should recover in a day or two.

After seeing everyone off, Master Lin returned to his seat, while Lin Mingyuan stood where he was and asked, "Xi Rui, how do you know that milk cakes are prone to spoilage?"

"Brother, I made a lot of milk cakes at home and paid special attention to the shelf life, so I know." Ding Xirui bowed and answered. This is indeed true, and it is also true that she has learned relevant knowledge.

"So that's how it is." Lin Mingyuan's doubts were dispelled and he returned to his seat.

Lin Mingxuan walked over, took Ding Xirui's wrist and brought her to his seat, asking her to sit down and rest.

"Thank you just now."

So this is what it feels like to be protected by someone. She felt a warm current flowing through her heart and her eyes were hot.

"It's my duty."

He smiled and poured her a cup of tea.

The chirping of cicadas outside seemed to become more melodious.
