Chapter 337: The field of medicinal diet
The next day.
Today is Monday. Xia Yu, who has already taken a long vacation, doesn’t have to get up and rush to school.
In fact, he didn't sleep all night, his eyes were red and dark circles were covered with dark circles.
"Ding."
After exiting the Chef God Space, Xia Yu couldn't wait to bring his phone and order a batch of new ingredients at the IGO Special Fantasy Store.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, IGO's ingredient truck transported the ingredients on time.
Open the ingredient box in the kitchen, and the fresh fragrance of plants suddenly scattered.
I chose a comfortable position in the corridor and the cat lying there casually. When I smelled the smell, I immediately widened my eyes and looked.
"Taota!"
First, Xia Yu took out a huge taro that was shaped like a peach and could not hold on to the palm of his hand, and the corresponding information appeared in his mind.
“Vegetable fantasy ingredients.”
"Soak in salt water at 4 degrees Celsius for a whole year before you can peel the skin clean. If there is an error of 0.1% or a slight difference in salt concentration, the taro will become odorous. This is an ingredient that needs careful conditioning!"
Fortunately, the peach taro delivered by IGO has been soaked and peeled, and is packaged in a transparent vacuum bag and can be used directly for cooking.
Xia Yu just subconsciously thought of the information of "Taotao".
After all, the old man highly praised this kind of ingredient in his notes.
It is precisely because it is difficult to handle, so the delicious food is irresistible after cooking.
‘Taota’ is a ingredient.
The second type is the "black grass" that Tamakawa Ayaka once melted into a pot with "beer lobster" in the special examination room.
The combination of 'Tao Taro' and 'Black Grass' is a medicinal recipe recorded by the old man in the appendix of his notes, called "Tao Grass Ginseng Porridge", which can regulate the constitution of Qi deficiency. In other words, Xia Yu stayed up late and was dizzy and had no energy, which happened to be suitable for tonic.
Don't worry about the others for now!
When she was hungry, Xia Yu planned to practice and show the results of practice, and he was the taster himself.
"Click!"
Open fire!
First, put a medicine jar on a stove and put clean water in it.
Xia Yu turned to a precision weighing device, stood in front of the cabinet that specializes in storing medicinal materials, and was chanting softly in his mouth, while working, "Half of astragalus, 1 and a half cents of ginseng, 3 cents of poria cocos, 1 and a cents of ginger, 2 taels of japonica rice..."
Pour all the weighed medicinal materials into the medicine jar.
The water is very particular. The old man said that he should boil it in 5 bowls of water to get 2 bowls of medicinal juice, and cook the medicinal juice with rice, ginger and two kinds of fantasy ingredients together.
I feel quite nervous inside.
Xia Yu has no idea about Chinese herbal medicines.
When choosing medicinal materials to make medicinal food, you must first start from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine. A person's "deficient" physique can be divided into many types. The old man wrote in his notes:
"Qi deficiency, fatigue, dizziness and lack of energy, use astragalus, American ginseng, Poria cocos and other medicinal materials."
"Blood deficiency, dizziness, dry skin, pale complexion, use angelica, red dates, and wolfberry to maintain it."
"Yang deficiency, fear of coldness, and cold hands and feet, so you need to be treated with Eucommia ulmoides, leeks, Cistanche, etc."
“…”
With the help of the system, Xia Yu spent one night, or more accurately, reading back and forth in the Chef God Space for about a week, and finally remembered the content almost all, and when he saw a certain ingredient, he would automatically supplement the information.
Bangbangbangbangbang!
Wash your knife to deal with "peach taro" and "black grass".
Both of these fantasy ingredients have to be chopped very finely and finally turned into mud.
It took quite a while to boil the pharmaceutical juice. After half an hour, Xia Yu poured two bowls of yellow medicine juice into a casserole and mixed it with the japonica rice. Then he put the 'peach taro' and 'black grass' paste in it.
Stew on slow heat.
During this period, Xia Yu used the [Breaking Flame] cooking technique to monitor the temperature changes inside the casserole at all times. It is a rare opportunity to absorb experience at this time. After all, apart from the "Sukiyaki" recipe given to him by Ryoko Lina two weeks ago, the old man's medicinal recipe is his second attempt to blend two fantasy ingredients into a pot.
And it is also the famous Chinese medicinal food!
One hour later.
"It's familiar!"
After mastering the timing of the heat, the old man said, pay attention to the heat. If you overcook it, the "peach taro" will change its flavor. This fantasy ingredients are very fragile.
Removing the lid of the casserole, boom!
The rich porridge aura drifted out, Xia Yu took a breath, floating in the air. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but his sour eyes suddenly became moist. After blinking for a few consecutive times, he was not used to the change in a flash.
Meow!
I just found a bowl of spoon and planned to taste it, but I didn't expect that the lazy cat sat at his feet and looked up at him, looking pitiful.
"You want to eat too?"
Xia Yu was funny, so he simply carried him on his shoulder and pointed at the black medicinal porridge in the casserole, "Are you sure you still want to eat it?"
If this pot of porridge does not smell, just look at the appearance, it is a perfect dark dish.
The "Taota" does not have such a powerful dyeing power, so it is naturally the "black grass" that is causing trouble.
A hint of moist and warm feeling suddenly came from his cheeks. Xia Yu glanced at him as if he was pleasing on his shoulders, stretched out his tongue to lick his cat randomly, reached out to grab it, and threw the little thing on the kitchen counter.
"You wait!"
He took another bowl, Xia Yu used a spoon and filled two large bowls of porridge. When cooking, he put 2 taels of japonica rice, two portions. Now one person and one cat, each with one bowl, just right.
The surface of the bowl was cooled and a layer of black porridge was skimmed. Scooped up half a spoonful, and Xia Yu slowly tasted it.
"Um!"
The taste of medicinal materials is a faint smell, which is not annoying. On the contrary, Xia Yu fell in love with this smell in the first taste! A familiar feeling!
“What a mellow taste of medicinal food!”
Eyes lit up.
Xia Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. The taste was not bad, at least it did not fail completely. After all, it was the first time to practice. His psychological expectations were very low, as long as there was no tragic car accident.
Chew carefully.
laugh!
When the ripe soft rice was broken between the teeth, a soft taro flavor was like hair, and strands of strands were wrapped in his mouth and gradually became a cluster. When Xia Yu noticed the smell, he was already on the verge of being lost.
“Good”
After a while, Xia Yu put down the empty bowl, and turned around and looked at another bowl on the kitchen counter, with greed in his eyes.
When he noticed his gaze, the cat immediately shook his butt to block the porcelain bowl. He lowered his head and stretched out his bright red tongue, licking it bit by bit. It might be that the porridge was too hot and it ate very slowly.
Take a few deep breaths and suppress the greedy appetite.
"System, how much is the completion degree?" Xia Yu asked.
“60%.”
"Hey, did you just pass the exam?" Xia Yu lowered his head and thought, "But the flavor and taste of 'black grass' have disappeared, and there is definitely something big problem in some place."
‘Taota’ works perfectly.
There is no problem with the combination of medicinal materials, and there is no problem with the dosage.
The possible errors are about decocting medicine and making medicine juice.
After all, Xia Yu is just a half-baked in the field of traditional Chinese medicine and medicinal diet. Xia’s small shop has medicinal dishes, but there are very few types. He just follows the old man’s recipes and has never learned it systematically.
If you want to be proficient in medicinal food, there is no doubt that you must start by identifying medicinal materials and mastering pharmacology!
In terms of medicinal food, Xindu Feishazi is an expert, but Xia Yu doesn’t have to go over and ask for advice. He still has a system!
"Buy, buy, buy!"
