Chapter 443: I don't understand Materia Medica

Lantian saw that Hu Ke agreed without hesitation, and then explained with a serious face: "This trip to Jiangdong is not as good as going to Jiaozhi. Although Sun Quan can't praise the commander of the army, his methods are much better than Shi Xie's. Moreover, this person has a cunning and suspicious character, and he does not intentionally

It’s really hard to win trust if you show some flaws.”

"Sir, please feel free to leave it to me. All you need to do is tell me what the mission is, and I will adapt to the situation when we get to Jiangdong." Hu Ke replied sternly.

"I'll be staying in Jiangdong for a long time this time. If I can't, I'd better marry a wife and leave children before setting off. Otherwise, I'll never feel at ease..." Lantian's expression was still solemn.

Hu Ke said with a smile: "Why should a real man worry about not having a wife? It's not too late to marry again after you become successful."

"Sir, Hu Ke has a very stubborn temper, why not let him go..." Gao Shun sighed.

Lan Tian nodded helplessly and then explained the overall plan in detail. Gao Shun next to him frowned while Hu Ke showed great excitement.

After Hu Ke accepted the mission, he hurriedly prepared supplies. During this period, he asked Shi Zhi for two deaf and mute followers, and on the third day he headed for Jiangdong with a ship full of goods.

Before leaving, Hu Ke wrote a letter and sent someone secretly to Jiaozhi, saying that he would find a way to rescue Shi Xie, so that Shi Xie would try his best to assist him.

Hu Ke left for a month without any news. Gao Shun approached Jiang Wan many times to ask for information. It turned out that Lingnan Newspaper was a state newspaper in Jiaozhou and did not send scouts to Jiangdong and the Central Plains. Jiang Wan could only ask Ma Liang for external information.

In the midsummer of July, the weather in Jiaozhou is extremely hot.

Lu Lingqi was born in the north and did not experience such a hot summer when she was in Jingnan. As her belly grew, it became more and more difficult for her. Every morning and evening, Lantian would walk with her on the beach to cool off.

At this time, Lu Lingqi had been pregnant for half a year. In addition to being extremely unsuited to the hot weather, her appetite had become very poor. She ate very little meat and vegetables, and fruits basically became her staple food.

Lan Tian was worried that Lu Lingqi's nutrition could not keep up, so he approached Hua Tuo and wanted to prescribe some medicine to adjust it, but Hua Tuo persuaded him that the medicine was three-part poison and asked him to try his best to adapt to Lu Lingqi's taste by improving the cooking methods.

Lan Tian followed the advice and cooked it himself, cooking all the ingredients that Lu Lingqi loved to eat in the past. However, the result was still little effect. Lu Lingqi's taste became bland and she didn't like meat.

One morning, Lan Tian disguised himself in casual clothes and went to the market with Gao Yuan. He wanted to find inspiration for dishes through ingredients. After all, too many famous dishes in later generations require different seasonings and ingredients. It is very difficult to restore the delicious dishes of later generations, but the ingredients

It is undoubtedly green and pollution-free.

Lantian was walking aimlessly in the noisy market when he suddenly stopped in front of a stall. In front of the owner was a basket of soybeans for sale.

Buy some and send some bean sprouts home? Lan Tian suddenly had an inspiration.

After returning home, Lan Tian washed the beans and soaked them in water. The next morning, he was supposed to accompany Lu Lingqi for a walk on the beach, but instead he went to the backyard vegetable patch to dig a hole alone.

With the help of the maid, Lu Lingqi came to the vegetable patch in the back garden out of curiosity. Lan Tian dug a pit that was two inches long, wide and deep. At this time, he was carrying a wooden bucket to water the pit.

"Husband, what are you doing? Planting vegetables is not like growing vegetables, and planting trees is not like planting trees..." Lu Lingqi asked curiously.

Lan Tian smiled slightly: "Xiaojun, wait patiently for a few days, and I will make you something delicious."

"Seeing that the sun is about to rise, husband, please stop busy now. I will regain my appetite after giving birth to my daughter." After hearing this, Lu Lingqi became even more confused, wondering what delicious food could be made by digging a hole?

"How does that work? You have to try it, it will be fine soon."

Lan Tian's hands were not idle when he was talking. After pouring the water, he brought the bowl of fermented beans and spread them evenly on the wet bottom of the pit. At this time, the water had soaked into the ground and the bottom of the pit turned into mud.

state.

After scattering the beans in the bowl, Lantian found a few small branches and placed them horizontally on the top of the pit to make a skeleton. Then he covered the pit with dry straw to control the temperature, wind, and light.

"Okay, let's collect it in three days." Lan Tian clapped his hands and said.

"Husband, what are you doing?" Lu Lingqi asked.

"You'll know when the time comes." Lan Tian smiled mysteriously.

Lu Lingqi held Lan Tian's arm and walked back to the bedroom. Since the other party wanted to pretend to be sophisticated, she could only wait a few more days.

In the early morning of the third day, Lantian went to the market and bought pork, live chickens, pork bones, and pig trotters. After returning home, he set up a big tripod in the open space outside the house, then added water and added firewood underneath to heat it.

Lantian first needs to peel the pork and cut it into pieces, chop the pork bones and pork knuckles into pieces. When he is processing the previous ingredients, the maid has also slaughtered and washed the chicken. Lantian then removes the chicken breast and chops the remaining chicken.

Chop into chicken pieces.

After mincing the chicken breast into minced meat, Lantian placed the minced chicken on the pig skin and then kept beating it with the back of a knife.

Lu Lingqi watched Lan Tian busy and seemed to be cooking some strange dishes, so she couldn't help but call Gao Yuan and asked: "Husband, what exactly is he cooking? I have never seen this method before..."

"Sir didn't say anything, how could my brain guess..." Gao Yuan scratched his head and expressed confusion.

"It's really difficult for you..." Lu Lingqi shook her head.

When all the ingredients were prepared, Lan Tian put the minced chicken in a bowl, covered it with a cloth and put it in cold water. Then he poured all the meat pieces into a copper tripod and added two bowls of rice wine to remove the smell.

Lan Tian asked the maid to hold a wooden spoon and ordered to scoop out the blood foam floating in the cauldron in time.

Gao Yuan now understood it clearly, and he dared Lan Tian to make a dish similar to Fu Shou Quan. He asked with a smile: "Sir, how long will it take to cook meat in such a big cauldron? I don't plan to eat it at noon.

It’s time for lunch…”

Lan Tian shook his head and said: "I suggest you eat more, because this cauldron of broth needs to be simmered for three hours."

When Gao Yuan heard that it would be three hours, his eyes widened, and he thought to himself that it was the time for dinner? So he grinned again: "Hey, then I'll eat less at noon..."

After Lan Tian stewed the meat, he took the small basket to the vegetable patch in the backyard and uncovered it. At this time, the bean sprouts in the pit were already one inch high. He picked up a handful of bean sprouts and put them in the small basket. He washed off the soil from the roots and started to pinch off the heads and tails.

work, and finally pick out the larger rhizomes and set them aside.

While Lan Tian was picking bean sprouts, he called Gao Yuan again and said, "Go to the medical school quickly and ask them for two silver needles."

"Uh...I'll go right away..."

Gao Yuan left the house quickly after receiving the order. He knew that silver needles were used for acupuncture, but he didn't know what Lan Tian wanted this thing for. He thought to himself, could it be used for acupuncture by his lord?

For the sake of Lu Lingqi's health, Gao Yuan quickly brought back not only the silver needle, but also the miracle doctor Hua Tuo.

Hua Tuo was surprised when he saw the bean sprouts and said: "This is a middle grade product recorded in the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica". It is called 'Douya Huang Juan'. It treats dampness, spasticity, and knee pain that cannot be bent or extended. I don't expect you to know Materia Medica."

But this thing needs to be boiled before use, why are you doing this?"
