12. Medicinal meals
Ling Li called his home first and told his mother not to go back for dinner. Then he stood there and thought for a moment, then looked at Zhu Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, has Grandpa Zhu's soul been seriously damaged?"
Zhu Xiaoxiao nodded: "Yes, the grandfather was sneak attacked by the enemy using spiritual skills on the battlefield, but the grandmother took a lot of effort to rescue him."
The Zhu family ancestor showed a hint of silence in his eyes: "I think about it now, this may be Acai's blessing, otherwise, he might have died like my other two children, and finally he could not find the corpse."
"Is there no way to cure this disease?" Ling Li's heart moved, but he didn't ask further.
"Yes, there are soul-summoning pills, soul-raising pills and soul-condensing pills, all of which are sixth-level spiritual pills. Each of these requires dozens of heavenly and earth treasures. For a while, my son went crazy and searched for Taopan all over the world, but unfortunately he couldn't even get one-third of them in the end, so he could only die." The ancestor of the Zhu family said in a helpless tone.
Ling Li looked at Zhu Xiaoxiao and said, "I know a few simple prescriptions, which are of some benefit to nourishing the soul and calming the spirit. I will list the medicinal materials now and see if I can find them back."
The ancestor of the Zhu family hurriedly said, "There is a pharmacy at home. Just list it. I'll send someone to find it immediately."
Ling Li sat down directly in front of the coffee table, took out his notebook from his bag, and listed the names of the medicines: Shenhuacao, Baishao, Polygonum multiflorum, Agarwood, Seven-leaf clover, Purple Epiphyllum, Ginkgo, Tianzhe, Codonopsis pilosula... There are 28 kinds in total, and they are all common medicinal materials.
There are three ingredients: crucian carp, black chicken and green bamboo snake.
After he finished writing, he tore off the paper and was about to hand it to Zhu Xiaoxiao, but the ancestor of the Zhu family reached out and snatched it.
Although she was a master of her cultivation and lived a hundred years old, she was still confused and seemed a little excited.
After reading the medicinal materials listed above, the Zhu family's ancestor showed a look of confusion on his face: "Those are just ordinary things?"
Ling Li smiled slightly: "It's a little bit beneficial. The ancestor cannot compare it with those sixth-level spiritual medicines."
The ancestor of the Zhu family then woke up: "That's right, my body is a little confused."
Zhu Xiaoxiao made a phone call. Just a few minutes later, a middle-aged man in uniform came to the villa and asked respectfully to the ancestor of the Zhu family: "What are the instructions of the ancestor?"
The ancestor of the Zhu family handed the note Ling Li had just written to the middle-aged man: "Go to the pharmacy immediately and take one pound of these things back. Oh, this crucian carp and black chicken are in the refrigerator. Are you using fresh ones?" She looked at Ling Li again.
"No, it's okay to freeze." Ling Li said.
"Then buy some of them back and keep them in the yard first." The ancestor of the Zhu family still ordered again.
After the middle-aged man turned around and left, the ancestor of the Zhu family took Ling Li into the kitchen.
The nanny from the Zhu family was choosing dishes and was just preparing to cook dinner.
"Axiang, Ling Li has a good cooking skills. Let him be the chef today. Just help him order whatever you need." The ancestor of the Zhu family said.
Aunt Zhang was not polite and said to Ling Li with a smile: "Then I'll trouble you, I can learn a little while away."
Ling Li also said politely: "It's just a mess, don't laugh at you then."
There were two large freezers in the kitchen. The ancestor of the Zhu family pointed to the door of the crystal cabinet and said, "You can choose what ingredients you need, and we will all follow your instructions." She actually used the honorary title when she spoke, which shows that she still cared about the old son very much.
"Haha, they are all top-notch ingredients, such as Qingling beef, Qibao black chicken, red-horned muntjac, and green-scale crucian carp. This requires some precious medicinal materials from your old man's medicine garden to match." Ling Li looked at the ingredients in the refrigerator and couldn't help but say in surprise.
"What are you using? I'll pick it up in person," said the ancestor of the Zhu family.
Ling Li smiled and said, "You don't need to do it all the time. You'd better go there. Aunt Zhang, we will use the green spirit beef, red-horned deer, green-scaled crucian carp and the seven-treasure black chicken tonight. Please take out these ingredients and put them in clean water to thaw."
After explaining what happened in the kitchen, he came to the medicine garden, looked for a medicine shovel next to it, and dug it up while looking for available medicinal materials.
Zhu Xiaoxiao was by her grandmother's side and watched him collecting herbs with interest.
After a while, Fatty Zhu also came with the middle-aged man who had been here before, followed by two people, each holding a large cardboard box in his arms.
It took only more than half an hour to complete more than 20 medicinal herbs.
This is really fast-efficient in doing things.
Zhu Xiaoxiao glared at Fatty Zhu: "What are you doing when you are back?"
After hearing this, the fat man smiled and said, "My dear buddy comes to the house to cook. Can I not give him face?"
Ling Li came out of the medicine garden, handed the precious medicinal materials he had picked to Fatty Zhu, and then looked at the middle-aged man: "Is there any green bamboo snake sold?"
"Yes, in the car, I'll move it down for you now." The middle-aged man came outside the yard and moved a bamboo basket out of the trunk.
Ling Li followed him out, "Oh, this snake is big enough, where is the right place to slaughter it?"
After hearing this, the ancestor of the Zhu family said, "Let them kill them in the yard and let them come over to clean up later."
Ling Li shook his head: "I'll do it."
This green bamboo snake is a poisonous snake, but it needs to be used as medicine. It has certain effects on restoring the soul, but you need to be particularly careful when slaughtering.
Ling Li held an iron clip in his hand and clamped the neck of the green bamboo snake more than two meters long. In order to save energy, he directly released a "soul-destroying needle" skill. The green bamboo snake's spiritual sense was severely damaged, just like a dead body, and allowed him to pick it up and fiddle with it casually. This spiritual attack was extremely condensed, and the others present had no idea at all. Only the old grandmother of the Zhu family narrowed her eyes slightly when he released the attack.
While the green bamboo snake was still alive, Ling Li pried open the snake's mouth, used the tweezers he had prepared before to remove two packs of poison sacs, and put them in a glassware. The green bamboo snake's venom is a neurotoxin and can be transmitted through flesh and blood, but it has no toxicity when taken orally, but it can nourish the damaged nerves.
This is the medicine he needs. As for snake meat, it can only be considered a close-up.
Ling Li slaughtered the green bamboo snake with a dagger, then hung it on the branch, peeled the snake's head, pulled it down, and peeled off the entire snake skin intact, and then cut it open and cut it open. This kind of thing is already very skillful.
After processing the snake meat, Ling Li divided it into four parts, took only one of them to prepare for cooking, and Aunt Zhang freeze the rest.
Black chicken, Codonopsis, Polygonum multiflorum soup, Shenhua Zitan Green Cranberry Soup, White Peony and Ginkgo Snake Soup, Three portions of the soup and vegetables were first prepared and put into a pot and simmered on low heat. Then he began to clean up the ingredients for the stir-frying, stir-frying the green beef, braised red-horned deer, and also stir-frying a slice of green bamboo shoots and green rapeseed with mushrooms. The two meat and two vegetables were fried, and the soup and vegetables were almost stewed. Add the ingredients and it was just right out of the pot. The aunt Zhang thought that the seven dishes were not good, so she insisted on adding a portion of garlic-flavored shredded claws.
