Pastoral Tea Fragrance: The High Price Medical Concubine

Chapter 25 The whole family eats medicinal food and discovers business opportunities
Lu Jinyao hurriedly boiled hot water for them to take a bath, cooked two bowls of hot ginger soup, added two pieces of rock sugar in Lu Yinling's bowl, and brought them to her father and sister.

Knowing that it was raining outside, Mrs. Yun came to ask a few times, and now she is very happy to see her son and granddaughter returned safely.

After tossing for a long time, it was almost time for dinner.The rain outside still didn't stop. Lu Jinyao was a little worried that the dilapidated house that hadn't been repaired in time would continue to leak. After all, there was only a layer of straw on it, so she asked the twin elves, "Is there any way for you to prevent the house from leaking?" Woolen cloth?"

"Master, don't worry, it's easy to say, we can cast a spiritual spell on the roof together." The twin elves replied in unison.

"Can you stop calling me Master..." Lu Jinyao had long thought this title was extremely awkward, but every time she wanted to talk about this question, she would be interrupted by other things and forget it.

"But, the master is the master." Yan Yi puzzled.

"Master, do you hate us and don't want us anymore..." Su Xin's voice sounded like she was about to cry.

"No, no." Lu Jinyao hurriedly explained, "It's too late for me to like you, why would I not want you. I mean, this title sounds weird."

"Then... what should we call master?" Su Xin felt relieved when she heard that Lu Jinyao didn't hate them.

"Ah, yes, you can just call me 'sister' from now on." Lu Jinyao said happily, "I'll go to the space to find you at night."

The Lu family's dinner was still sumptuous. After confirming that little Taoist priests could eat meat, Lu Jinyao made two special meat dishes.

However, after the whole meal is finished, there is one more dish.

The last dish, to be precise, is a bowl of porridge per person.

Lu Jinyao made a medical diet plan based on the situation of the Lu family.Today, what she prepares is astragalus longan japonica rice porridge.

Japonica rice is exactly a kind of rice, and its porridge has the laudatory title of "the world's first tonic".Japonica rice can lower cholesterol and reduce the probability of heart attack and stroke.Sun Simiao, the king of medicine in the Tang Dynasty, emphasized in "Qian Jin Fang · Shi Zhi" that japonica rice can nourish stomach qi and grow muscles;

The raw materials of Astragalus longan japonica rice porridge include Codonopsis pilosula, Astragalus membranaceus, longan meat and medlar.

The production method is also very simple, that is, wash the raw materials first, chop Codonopsis pilosula and Astragalus membranaceus, fry to get the juice, then add appropriate amount of water to boil, add longan meat, medlar and japonica rice, cook slowly with low heat into porridge, and finally Add some rock sugar.

When Lu Jinyao cooked the porridge, he also added more than [-] red dates.

Naturally, all the raw materials she used were produced in the space. In fact, if you look closely, there are quite a lot of medicinal materials in the space, which is enough to meet the needs in most cases.

Although the twin elves live in the space, they don't know what will happen after the space is upgraded. They only know that the space will continue to upgrade.

Maybe some things will appear after the space is upgraded, but they don't exist now, so we can't wait.That's why Lu Jinyao bought a lot of things that were not in the space, such as cows and stuffed in.

An hour in the outside world is equal to a year in the space. These things go in to enjoy the nourishment of spiritual energy and the effect of spiritual spring water purification. Although they are not as rich in spiritual energy as the native things in the space, they are still enough.

Astragalus and longan japonica rice porridge can nourish the middle and replenish qi, solidify the surface and restrain sweat, and astragalus has the functions of antibacterial, muscle growth, anti-aging and improving immunity.Japonica rice can also improve human immune function and promote blood circulation.

In addition, when the porridge is cooked, the pure water from Lingquan is used, and the efficacy is increased several times.

"Sister, I'm already full..." Lu Yinling swallowed, staring at the porridge bowl in front of her greedily.

Lu Jinyao said: "Then you can eat it later, but it won't taste good if it gets cold."

She thought for a while, and said, "By the way, I seem to remember that there are still some dried hawthorns I saved last year."

Hawthorn can invigorate the stomach and eliminate food, and it is best to eat it after a meal.

In fact, there are hawthorns in Lu Jinyao's space, but October is the season for hawthorns to ripen, and it's really hard to explain it now.

So she used the excuse to get dried hawthorns, but actually picked a lot of fresh hawthorns from the space. With the help of the twin elves, she removed the cores of the hawthorns, handed all the seeds to Su Xin to plant, and then took the hawthorns out. space.

In fact, Lu Jinyao thinks that the taste of hawthorn is not very good when eaten directly. If you are unlucky, the hawthorn you eat can make your teeth sore, and it will taste better if it is made into candied haws.The best choice is to make honey hawthorn, hawthorn rolls, etc., but she doesn't have honey now, and she doesn't have fish gelatin powder that can solidify the jam, so she can only eat like this first, and then improve slowly.

Although for foodies, delicious food is more important than anything else, but you can’t become fat with one bite, and many things have to be done slowly.

Lu Jinyao took the hawthorn back, and it took about a quarter of an hour.

The little Taoist had already finished a bowl of porridge, and when he saw her come back, his face turned red before he could speak, and he said slowly: "I didn't expect the benefactor to make medicinal food, and it tastes much better than the medicinal food in our view. "

The Taoist priests of Chunyang Temple not only catch demons, but also treat doctors.Many well-known pilgrims are not afraid of spending money, but are afraid of their poor health. Even if they can eat five meals a day and are as healthy as cattle, they still go to Chunyang Temple to see a doctor.

To treat these pilgrims who are not sick at all, Chunyang Temple simply gives them medicinal food every day.

Of course, incense money must be collected.

Therefore, over time, the medicinal diet of Chunyang Temple became famous.

Medicinal diet is the product of the combination of traditional medical knowledge and cooking experience.This word first appeared in "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of Lie Nu", in which there are such words as "the mother adjusts the medicine and diet, thinks deeply and deeply". "Song History Zhang Guanzhuan" also has a record of "fleas serve medicinal food".

Medicinal food is cooked in strict accordance with the formula, combining traditional Chinese medicine with certain foods with medicinal value, and using the unique cooking technology of Chinese cuisine.It "contains medicine in food", not only uses medicine as food, but also uses food for medicinal purposes. It not only has high nutritional value, but also can prevent and cure diseases, keep healthy and strengthen the body, and prolong life.

As the saying goes, good medicine tastes bitter because traditional Chinese medicine decoctions have a bitter taste.

But in fact, except for some people who have a special preference for bitterness, it is simply too painful for ordinary people, especially children, to let them drink Ku Yinyin's decoction.The medicated diet is mostly a dual-purpose product of medicine and food. It consists of three parts: medicine, food and seasoning.
