Chapter 71 A Shining Mother
Shen Ci herself had never eaten French food in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, so based on the principle of trusting authority, she made a reservation at a two-Michelin-starred restaurant.
Unlike the stereotypical image of French restaurants as dark and luxurious, this restaurant is exquisitely bright and elegantly decorated, with custom-made tableware sparkling under the crystal chandeliers.
The restaurant has reserved window seats with a view of the Duyou River. The river reflects the beautiful red sunset, and you can also see the buildings on the opposite bank.
Having never dined at such a high-class restaurant before, Shen Yingying was slightly reserved yet subtly excited.
"Rich people know how to enjoy life. I can eat two more bowls of rice in an environment like this."
She looked at her sister and asked, "Sis, have you ever eaten French food?"
Shen Jingjing seemed much calmer than her sister, after all, Ruili is an international five-star hotel, and the restaurants inside are also very high-class.
But she had never actually eaten French food.
He shook his head and said, "I haven't tried it, but French cuisine is recognized as the most expensive among international cuisines. Our hotel is like that; even the French breakfast is much more expensive than the Chinese breakfast."
Shen Ci nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right. French cuisine is the best among Western dishes, but different regions have different customs, and many Chinese people don't get used to it the first time they try it."
At this point, the waiter brought them several glasses of water and then presented them with a bilingual menu.
Shen Ci handed the menu to her mother and aunt: "Take a look and see what you want to eat, order whatever you like."
The moment the menu was opened, the names of the dishes left the two of them speechless.
Classic French slow-cooked beef with wild mushrooms and red wine sauce.
French white wine with mussels, fennel seeds, and truffles.
Braised tenderloin of wild yellow cattle with tomatoes from Provence.
Three-flower chicken cheese tart with classic French omelet.
"What are all these things?" Shen Yingying was full of questions. She recognized all the words, but she couldn't imagine what these dishes should look like.
There wasn't even a single picture on the menu.
Shen Jingjing smiled and then handed the menu to her daughter: "Aci, you order. Your aunt and I will follow your lead."
Shen Ci nodded, knowing her mother's and aunt's tastes anyway.
Shen Ci ordered seven or eight dishes in one go before stopping, and then chose a bottle of white wine.
"Still drinking?"
Shen Yingying was slightly surprised when she saw the wine brought to her by the waiter.
The beautiful and exquisite wine bottle is placed upside down in the ice bucket, and it looks like it must taste amazing.
“French food is only authentic when paired with white wine. Auntie, I remember you love to drink, don’t you?” Shen Ci said.
Shen Yingying smiled shyly: "I used to like drinking when I was younger, but I've been drinking less in recent years."
"We're happy today, we should have a drink," Shen Jingjing suddenly said.
Shen Ci and her aunt were both taken aback, seemingly not expecting these words to come from their mother, who never actively encouraged drinking.
After regaining her senses, Shen Yingying nodded repeatedly: "That's right, today we should celebrate your job loss!"
Shen Jingjing was both amused and exasperated: "Fine, I'm happy today anyway, so I'll celebrate whatever I want."
The group chatted and laughed. Even though it was her first time eating at such a place, her mother and aunt were not disappointed. Instead, they were fully immersed in enjoying themselves, which made Shen Ci very happy.
Just as the atmosphere was getting lively, a commotion suddenly broke out on the other side of the restaurant.
The commotion was quite loud, immediately attracting the attention of all the guests in the restaurant, and the originally harmonious dining environment instantly became tense.
Shen Ci and the others subconsciously stood up, but not knowing what had happened over there, they did not rush forward and only watched from a distance.
Amid the chaos, frantic cries for help could be heard.
"Can anyone help? Is there a doctor?"
"Xiao Li, call 120 quickly, quick!"
"We've already attacked, Mr. Li, what should we do now?"
Several men in suits looked anxious, their panicked voices tinged with fear.
A pale-faced man lay motionless on the ground, as if he had no life left.
The surrounding guests instinctively backed away upon seeing this.
Some people whispered among themselves, their faces showing regret.
Some people felt it was bad luck and quickly paid their bill and left.
The restaurant staff had clearly never encountered this situation before, and no one dared to rush forward to help.
Even the manager could only offer words of comfort: "Sir, please don't worry. The nearest hospital is less than a kilometer away, and the ambulance will be here soon."
But seeing that the man on the ground had stopped breathing and his chest was no longer rising and falling, the others who were with him were even paler than the man lying on the ground, and they all looked helpless.
At this moment, Shen Jingjing noticed something was wrong and went over to her. Shen Ci quickly followed.
Upon closer inspection, red rashes were faintly visible on the man's exposed arms and neck. In an instant, Shen Jingjing recalled the content taught in the hotel training course.
The man in front of me is not dead yet; the red rashes confirm that he is experiencing anaphylactic shock!
This situation is extremely dangerous. If emergency measures are not taken in time, the man in front of you could be in mortal danger at any moment!
Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Jingjing stepped forward and knelt beside the man, quickly unbuttoning the shirt that was choking him, under the shocked gazes of everyone.
Then place your hands, one on top of the other person's chest, and begin emergency first aid using the standard CPR posture.
Shen Ci was also shocked. She had never known that her mother could perform CPR, but seeing her calm demeanor and serious expression, Shen Ci felt that her mother was shining brightly at that moment.
"Are you a medical worker?" someone asked gratefully upon seeing this.
Shen Jingjing kept moving her hands and replied, "No, but I've learned how. He's having anaphylactic shock. We have to perform first aid while waiting for the ambulance, otherwise his life will be in danger."
After saying that, Shen Jingjing pinched the man's nose, then pinched his chin to make his mouth open slightly, took a deep breath, and pressed her lips against his.
Blowing air into the man's mouth is a standard CPR technique.
Shen Yingying's eyes widened in shock when she saw this.
Shen Jingjing continued performing CPR and artificial respiration repeatedly, her forehead beaded with sweat from exhaustion, but she never stopped.
Everyone around her watched nervously as she rescued the person, and no one dared to make a sound.
After an unknown amount of time, the man lying on the ground suddenly began to foam at the corners of his mouth, and then white liquid kept flowing out of his mouth.
Upon seeing this, Shen Jingjing's face lit up with joy. She didn't care at all whether the white vomit was dirty or not. She reached into the man's mouth and scooped out all the remaining vomit to prevent him from choking on it.
"He's breathing! His chest is moving!"
At this moment, someone noticed that the man had resumed breathing and immediately exclaimed in surprise.
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and at that moment, the sound of the ambulance siren finally came from afar.
Exhausted, Shen Jingjing collapsed to the ground, and the restaurant erupted in enthusiastic applause. Everyone looked at her with respect.
