059 Pharmacy & Cooking
The third wife inexplicably asked Ling Nan to kneel, and she looked very unhappy.
Ling Nan was a little confused by the second monk at this time, but she was afraid that the third lady would be angry, so she knelt on the ground very neatly.
"If the slave has done anything wrong, please punish the wife, as long as you don't get angry with yourself. She bowed her head and said sincerely.
"The mistakes you make deserve to be beaten to death. The third lady said with silver teeth.
What did she do so seriously, Lingnan asked for help from Mama for some reason. Mama gave her a helpless look.
"You don't have to look at Mama. The third lady said very solemnly: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, the son wants to be filial and the relatives are not there, why don't you tell me that your mother is seriously ill? Do you want to regret it when she returns? Or do you want the world to scold me? Scold me for treating my subordinates harshly, and even let her go back to take care of her mother when she is sick?"
"Madam, what should you do when the slave is gone?"
After listening to the harsh criticism of the third wife, Ling Nan was ashamed, ashamed and moved, and tears flowed down involuntarily.
"But you're sick, ma'am. "When her mother is sick, she really wants to go back to see it, but this is disloyal to her master, and it is difficult to achieve both loyalty and filial piety since ancient times.
"You're not a doctor, you're not my daughter, what's the use of leaving you when I'm sick?"
Lingnan is her right and left hand, mainly because this girl is assertive, and she knows how to be considerate, and the third wife is very inseparable from her, but since ancient times, filial piety has been great, and she can't let her be unfilial.
So duplicity said.
A word blocked Ling Nan's mouth.
"Okay, let people get cared. Send two more people with you, and when you see the old man, I will say hello to her on my behalf. When the old man recovers, he will come back early. "The three wives have arranged for Lingnan and explained them one by one.
Ling Nan couldn't cry, and finally accepted the arrangement.
After Lingnan left, the old lady suddenly felt that the house was empty.
"Madam, if you have a good appetite this morning, you can drink some more porridge. She persuaded the third lady to have breakfast.
Suddenly, I saw the third lady frowning, and with a wow, all the pastries she had just eaten spit out.
"Ma'am. "The old lady was terrified. Hurriedly helped her.
"Don't tell...... Lingnan. Wow......" The third lady confessed, and vomited again.
This time, the servant had prepared a spittoon, and the third lady lay on it and vomited.
"Send someone for a doctor. "Mrs. is forbearant and strong to show Lingnan. The old lady figured out in her heart what the third lady was like in the morning, and shed tears in distress.
Originally, after the third master was called over there, the third wife didn't sleep well. How can it be so spiritual?
"It's all three old men. Now his wife is sick and he is nowhere to be seen. I'm going to get him. She said uncomfortably, turning to leave.
The third lady held her chest and pulled her sleeve: "Mama, don't get into trouble, he doesn't have my heart here." It's useless to find it. ”
The old lady had no choice but to give up angrily.
The courtyard of the third lady is always busy with people coming in and out, and the west courtyard is much quieter.
The servant who delivered the breakfast retreated, and there were only two left.
"Miss, why don't you go to sleep yet?" Since Monday figured out that Miss's medical skills cannot be exposed in the Lin family, although Miss didn't explain, she is in charge of dealing with outsiders.
She remembered that when she was diagnosing the third master that day, she had seen the identity of the young lady and her as much as possible, such as Lingnan, she had been hiding.
In the process of boiling medicine, Miss is on the night shift, usually she goes to rest after drinking soy milk, but today she has not moved, in fact, Miss does not see anyone during the day, and no one sees her at night, so it is safe.
So she was a little anxious to urge.
"Today, there is no hurry, there is still something to do. Lin Xiaojue's voice was more hoarse than before, and his words were not as smooth as yesterday.
"Miss, why does your throat seem to be serious?" asked Monday when he realized that Miss hadn't made a sound all morning.
Lin Xiaojue's body itself lacks yin qi, so the yang qi is higher, and she has not opened her mouth for many years, so her voice is not good, and she has stayed up for three days and nights in a row these days, which hurts her yin qi even more.
"Definitely, no, stay up late. Lin Xiaojue couldn't explain more, and only said these six words, which can be regarded as advice on Monday. Although I don't understand the principle of yin and yang on Monday, I can also think that Miss is seriously ill after staying up all night.
"It's all my fault, Miss doesn't sleep, but I go to sleep, in the future we change, I watch the fire at night. She felt guilty and said as if determined.
"Don't, hypocrisy. Less, let me, just talk, on the line. ”
Lin Xiaojue didn't like Monday's guilt, she dragged her voice and finished speaking, and then headed towards the small kitchen.
Monday looked at her back and pouted, thinking, Miss, you are a real man, so you are not allowed to feel distressed?
The master and servant went to the kitchenette.
"I've filtered the medicine, boiled it again, six days, made up nine, and it's done. Lin Xiaojue explained the date for Monday.
That is, the two of them will have to take turns for six days, and the young lady will suffer six days of sin.
Monday knew that even if she insisted on changing the miss, she would not agree, and she didn't understand why the miss didn't want the third wife's people to help, it was really sad to have a miss who said so.
While complaining in his heart on Monday, in the small kitchen, the four copper pots started a new round of steaming, and the slag Lin Xiaojue from the seafood filtration was all placed in a large basin, and now it can't be called slag, it's all paste.
"These are also the essence, and it's a pity to abandon them. Let's make it and eat. Lin Xiaojue showed Zhou a big pot and began to teach her how to make seafood cakes.
"Miss, how do you still know how to cook?"
Like noodles, Lin Xiaojue taught Monday to keep kneading into the paste like flour, her technique is skillful and neat, she is not the young lady in the mountains who can't do anything at all, and she looks stupid on Monday.
"Anything to do with medicine, I will. ”
The matter of cooking is also related to medicine, so aren't all cooks miracle doctors?
Lin Xiaojue glanced at her appearance, and a similar scene appeared in front of her.
It was still a blurry mother's face, and as long as his eyes were still clear, his mother taught him how to make cakes in the backyard.
"The types of medicines include soups, powders, pills, ointments, and there will be tablets, capsules, injections, ...... in later generations," her mother taught her the dosage form of medicine, and her mother said while kneading the dough on the cutting board: "If we regard flour as the main ingredient, water is the skeleton solvent, in medicine, some solvents are supportive, and some are adhesive, you can also let it, disperse evenly, or control, release ......" Mother taught her the skills of medicine based on cooking. Finally, I will talk about the principle of sustained-release tablets.
"If a patient needs to reduce fever, it is important to disintegrate the drug with a fast time limit. Some diseases require long-term administration, but the main raw material itself cannot be satisfied, so sustained-release agents must be added. ”
"To put it bluntly, pharmaceutical. Means. Yes. Washing, drying, steaming, broiling, calcining, simmering...... Cooking. Means. Yes. Washing, steaming, frying, stir-frying, cooking, frying...... All for, edible, better, this purpose, and, taken, a series, means, the truth of nature, is the same. ”
This is the truth that her mother taught her when she finished her preparations, Lin Xiaojue thought about her mother's words, and endured the pain in her throat and repeated it.
"Miss, are you really a Taoist priest?" Monday was puzzled to hear, but Miss muttered to herself as if she was immersed in her own world. She didn't seem to hear her question.
Lin Xiaojue said to himself, and then poured some rapeseed oil into the kneaded essence dough: "Unsaturated, fatty acids." ”
She paused, and looked up at Monday, as if to question her.
Monk Zhou Zhang's second monk shook his head in confusion.
"Sodium chloride. She put another spoonful of salt in it and looked at Monday again, who still shook his head.
Lin Xiaojue smiled suddenly.
"I remember. Actually, I'm a chemist. ”
Miss often says things that others don't understand, and the word chemistry is a matter of concern on Monday, but Miss's chattering appearance scares her a little.
Fortunately, after putting the food into the steamer, the young lady did not speak again.
The essence also boiled for three days and three nights, and it was already ripe, and the master and servant waited for the water to boil and then came out of the pot.
"Is it fragrant?" asked Lin Xiaojue, who put the plate under his nose.
"I don't know, I can't smell it. "I've been smelling this for three or four days, and my nose has long been gone.
The corners of Lin Xiaojue's eyes curved: "Then you, try it." ”
Monday immediately clamped it and put it in his mouth.
"It's delicious, it's delicious. Her eyes lit up and she praised again and again.
"Well, eat more. Lin Xiaojue nodded slightly, put the plate on the pot, and then was about to leave.
"Miss, why don't you eat it so delicious?" Monday took another piece and asked vaguely as he put it in his mouth.
Lin Xiaojue looked at her helplessly: "Because, I eat better." She pointed to the bubbling potion in the copper pot.
"......" Monday choked on a mouthful of pastry, couldn't swallow it, and was about to hold back tears.
"Then the bad lady will give me food. She appealed unsatisfactorily.
The corners of Lin Xiaojue's mouth were choked, and he left to sleep. (To be continued......)
