Chapter 23 Mutton Siwu Soup Curry
Hearing a muffled sound in the room, Wang Yong frowned, and then shouted: "Guo Jia? Guo Jia! ”
There was no response from inside the door, which seemed to confirm his thoughts, so he simply pushed it a few times, and opened the door without hurting Guo Jia, and saw her fainting inside.
"The breathing is slightly and the pulse is a little weak...... Pale face...... Hell, what's going on? Wang Yong is a little helpless, he has not studied medical skills, and he is generally more willing to seek help from doctors when he encounters problems.
But the problem is that the level of medical care in this era is really not reassuring, especially now, he regrets a little, why didn't he flip through the "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook" left by his grandmother.
In that era when the level of medical care was the most scarce, Western medicine did not have enough equipment for mass production, and had to play the slogan of 'integrated Chinese and Western medicine' to produce a series of Chinese patent medicines, and this booklet saved hundreds of millions of people.
"Call a doctor now!" Wang Yong immediately rushed out and shouted with the loudest voice.
Xun Yu, who was originally working, suddenly pressed the brush on the paper, revealing an ink blot. It's just that she didn't care so much at all, so she quickly stood up, ran out, and shouted to the near side: "What are you waiting for? Call the doctor now, the best doctor! ”
The near side hurriedly called the doctor over, during which Wang Yong had already carried Guo Jia to the bed and put him down.
"I'll leave it to us here, and it's not convenient for you to be a big man." Cao Ren and Le Jin ran over and began to take care of Guo Jia.
"I'll wait outside...... Wang Yong sighed and walked out directly, this matter has nothing to do with him, but he always feels a little relieved. After all, Guo Jia suddenly fainted when he was talking to him.
Besides, Guo Jia said that he should not be a chef and leave here, so he couldn't ignore it. If a ghost becomes an enemy, you can imagine what a terrible thing it is!
"The body is already so weak, and the mood fluctuates greatly...... What's going on? The doctor examined it carefully, then asked in a somewhat complaining tone.
It's just that Wang Yong why, he always felt that the doctor was looking at what he said, did he suspect that he had made her like this?!
"What should we do now?" Cheng Yu then asked.
"She had a problem because of her mood swings, and it was a heart disease. First of all, I have to replenish some vitality, and I will make a four-thing soup. But this can only cure the symptoms, if you want to cure the root cause, you also need to enlighten her, as long as you let go of your thoughts, then the disease will be half better! The doctor solemnly admonished.
Ahhh Wang Yong was a little crazy, why did this doctor's eyes look at him again?!
"She doesn't like bitter medicine, can she prescribe some good medicine?" Xun Yu's voice floated out, since he was a child, Guo Jia probably drank too much bitter medicine, and slowly began to feel sick to his stomach with the bitter medicine. The flavored herb of Siwu soup is rehmannia rehmannia, which is very bitter and has a strong taste, she drinks it once and spits it once, Xun Yu knows this.
"How can there be medicine that is not bitter?" The doctor shook his head, and then began to write a prescription, there is no dragon flying phoenix dance in later generations, Siwu soup is more commonly used in this era, and many people will grab the medicine themselves when they need to replenish their vitality.
"Wait, Siwu Soup?" has been entangled in the doctor's gaze, until he left, Wang Yong remembered a question, that is, Siwu Tang was originally in the late Tang Dynasty, and the subsequent Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty were also women's menstrual prescriptions, its effect of nourishing blood and replenishing vitality is undoubted, but the background of the current era should be the Han Dynasty, right?
It's no wonder that Wang Yong remembers it so clearly, at that time, there was a two-dimensional fan in the island country, and there was an introduction to a medicinal dish made of Siwu soup, and he was curious at the time, so he investigated the so-called Siwu soup, and vaguely remembered these contents.
"What should I do?" Xun Yu had a headache, "Shopkeeper, is there any way to make the decoction less bitter?" ”
"It's not that there is no way...... I'm going to figure it out...... But what if I figured it out? As the doctor said, her problem is a heart problem, not a physical problem! Wang Yong looked at Xun Yu.
"This, I'll think of a way to ......" Xun Yu was also a little flustered at the moment, in the end, he was a childhood sweetheart's playmate.
Wang Yong only felt that these two people were fun, they were originally wise existences, but one couldn't understand that this was a game set up by Xun Yu, and the latter was obviously arranged, and now this clumsy performance almost made her layout fail, but she didn't realize it.
"If you care, you will be confused, or will you say that the authorities are confused?" Wang Yong commented with interest, "It's just a little sad, these two girls seem to really love each other!" ”
In other words, Xun Yu is more of a caring care for Guo Jia, but the latter can't tell the difference between friendship and love. Then the wrong feeling slowly ferments, and both parties may have the illusion of 'I may like each other'.
Xun Yu realized this, so she planned to let the two of them be able to recognize each other's feelings before they reached the worst point, so they set up this game, but unfortunately she may not have noticed that she was actually deeply involved.
"If you can't save yourself, what are you talking about saving people?" Wang Yong shook his head, walked out of the yamen directly, and then walked towards Wanshiwu, some of the materials he needed were only available there.
"Wanshiwu, is there anything you need help with?" The innocent and lovely doorman greeted himself affectionately, this is a beautiful boy who is very much like a girl, and the status of women is very high, so she will naturally not engage in the service industry.
Speaking of which, Wen Ming's guy, before he became a salesman, wouldn't he also be a doorman? Grow your hair a little longer, and then put on women's clothes, even if you don't wear makeup, the appearance of red lips and white teeth is no different from a beautiful girl!
"Call Salesman 372!" Wang Yong replied, each salesman has several customers, in order to improve the quality of service, Wanshiwu generally prohibits salesmen from grabbing customers, unless there is no time, you can let people help on your behalf.
"Okay!" The doorman nodded, "Please wait a while, I'll report and see if salesman No. 372 is not there!" ”
After a while, Wen Ming walked out, but he was smiling, obviously benefiting him a lot from the previous transaction. Seeing that it was Wang Yong, he immediately greeted him cordially and asked, "Is there anything you need help with?" Of course, if it is a question of follow-up remuneration...... In this hurry, we couldn't get the goods right away. ”
"It's not a matter of payment, I want a pound or two of mutton, and some other materials...... Wang Yong reported the materials he needed, "Can you get it?" Right now! ”
"Of course, otherwise we wouldn't be called the House of Everything!" Wen Ming said proudly, and then went to arrange. Manshiya has warehouses in various places, and they are stored according to the different materials. It will take some time to get it, but Wang Yong will need to wait.
"In this world, mutton is limited to one pound per person per month, and I took out my own part and got you two pounds. Two onions, four carrots, and all the herbs you want! Banana taro is hard to find, but we know where to find wild food, and we'll be there later! Wen Ming came back a quarter of an hour later and brought back most of the materials.
Banana taro is also known as 'ghost taro' in the south, and when the flowers are plucked, the end can also suck out some sweet honey. As for the rhizome, you can eat it like taro, but the taste is different from that of taro.
Overall, it is sweeter than taro, and it lacks that glutinous feeling. Boiling soup is a good choice, and even if you don't add sugar, the soup will feel very sweet. However, by the time Wang Yong crossed over, few people knew about this thing.
"Why did you come up with that?" Wen Ming thought it was strange, after all, he hadn't heard of that thing that could be eaten.
"Some people use this thing to sweeten the soup, the key is that I need potatoes, I don't know if you can find it?" Wang Yong asked directly, knowing that there are peanuts and many foreign species, and he feels that the number of species has reached the level of the Song Dynasty, Wang Yong also suspected that potatoes and corn will also be available, so he asked.
"During this time, we are also looking for the potatoes and corn you mentioned earlier, but there is no news yet." Wen Ming shook his head, ten days ago, Wang Yong entrusted them to look for it, but there is no news back yet. Of course, Wang Yong ten days ago was not enough for them to pay so much attention. Now it's different, the things he asks for are all found according to the urgency.
"Well, I took the things, and the banana taro was delivered directly to the restaurant. As for those things, it takes a lot of thought! Wang Yong nodded, took his things, and walked towards the store. In the period of scarcity of materials, the price of these things is not cheap, if there is no restriction on the sale, everything will also lose money and die, goodwill should not be trampled on by poverty, in the end, there are too few people in this world who know how to be grateful.
"The good thing is that there is always a casserole!" Back at the restaurant, Wang Yong began to process the materials.
There was a lot of fat on the lamb, but he didn't need it, so he shaved it off with a kitchen knife. Carrots are peeled off, they used to be made with a peeler, but this world doesn't seem to have one, maybe you can tell Wanshiwu and let them help make it, and by the way, apply for a patent, if there is such a thing. You see, there doesn't seem to be such a thing as a craftsman's guild in this world.
"It's a lot smarter!" Wang Yong said with emotion, peeling is not as difficult as imagined, the body's coordination ability and eyesight have improved, "This is a good thing, otherwise, with the spread of stir-frying and steaming methods, my advantages will be greatly reduced, if you want to be a chef, you have to be a good person!" ”
The radish and green onion are sliced diagonally, the onion is cut in half and set aside, and the selected herbs are successively packed into a white cloth bag. If you look closely, you will find that Angelica, Chuanxiong, White Peony and Rehmannia contained in Siwu soup are also included. In addition to this, there are star anise, cumin, and turmeric. Yes, Wang Yong is planning to restore the 'mutton four-thing soup curry'.
"Shopkeeper, the banana taro you asked for has been cleaned!" Wen Ming rushed over and took out the banana taro. Then he looked at the desk, a little curious, "Is this going to be a dish?" ”
"Make a dish for a weak little girl...... By the way, how about eating some of yourself and leaving some for you? Wang Yong thought about it, after all, there was a pound of mutton, which was originally Wenming's share.
"I didn't expect me to have a mouthful, so thank you owner!" Wen Ming is naturally disrespectful.
"I wish I had a little more attention to what I explained!" Wang Yong didn't plan to take his money either.
Put the herbs in the pot, stew them together with the mutton, keep the fat peeled off, and use the remaining carrots, green onions, and stir-fry a dish with mutton fat when necessary.
"Speaking of the shopkeeper, are you boiling soup or medicine?" Smelling the faint medicinal fragrance in the air, Wen Ming asked.
"It's a dish, but it's also a medicine, and I'm more used to calling it 'medicinal food.'" Wang Yong didn't talk nonsense, and took this opportunity to start washing rice and cooking. You have to use rice to cook this. He had tried it before without using a rice cooker, hoping to remember the heat.
"The taste is slightly strong...... Wang Yong smelled the taste, and the smell of rehmannia was more obvious, "Could it be that the original book uses raw rehmannia?" Or am I missing a step?! ”
Strictly speaking, the ingredients of Siwu soup should be soaked in warm water for a period of time to reduce its medicinal taste. However, considering Guo Jia's situation, it is nothing if the drug is stronger.
"Medicinal diet? A new way to cook? How could the shopkeeper have so many things? Wen Ming instantly became a curious baby.
"Try a lot, and sometimes you will naturally understand something. For example, this medicinal diet was originally researched to allow some patients who hate medicinal soup to be able to take the medicine smoothly. At the same time, some medicinal herbs are added to the ingredients, usually stewed, can also have the effect of disease-free and strong body, the so-called medicine and food homology, if you can eat a good body, it is also a good result. Wang Yong said slowly.
"Do you need Wanshiwu to help you file this medicinal diet technique?" Wen Ming proposed.
"No, including the cooking method of steaming and frying, I plan to disclose it directly. In the past, there were too few cooking methods, so every recipe, every skill, and even every new spice was precious. Nowadays, there are more cooking methods, so it is naturally impossible to monopolize a certain dish, so that the chef industry will not become lifeless. Wang Yong shook his head.
In other words, the more developed the status of the chef, the stronger the people's pursuit of food, the better he will mix in this world.
"The shopkeeper is playing a bit big of this game!" Wen Ming is also a little clever, and he soon knew Wang Yong's plans.
"The prosperity of the chef industry has driven the demand for various ingredients, and the final result is that Wanshiwu has made a lot of money, and you are also the beneficiaries, shouldn't you push it behind it?" Wang Yong teased.
"Well, I'll report this to the supervisor, and if I can, I can indeed push it secretly!" Wen Ming nodded, this matter is indeed a good thing for Wanshiwu.
Time passed slowly, during which Wang Yong had already put the chopped banana taro, carrots, green onions, and onions into it to stew together. When it's almost there, take out the cloth bag, slowly remove the contents, and then place the rice in two smaller casseroles.
Seeing Wang Yong start to cut the mutton into pieces, put the vegetables on the plate, and a dish take shape in front of him, Wen Ming swallowed his saliva and asked slowly, "What kind of dish is this?" ”
"Mutton Siwu soup curry, in fact, it would be better if you used lamb...... Wang Yong was not very satisfied with this dish, using banana taro instead of potatoes, in the end the taste would be like this, until he tasted the soup, he was relieved.
It can't be completely replaced, but it makes the soup more sweet and masks the medicinal taste. Perhaps, it will be more convenient for Guo Jia to enter. As a qualified chef, since you want to cook a dish for a special person, fine-tuning is the key, and you will only be the same chef, at least not a good chef.
"This one is for you, I'll keep one for me, help me take care of it!" After Wang Yong finished speaking, he picked up one of the pots and left.
"Don't worry!" Wen Ming rubbed his palms, this pot of food with all the color and flavor made him hungry and greedy.
"Wow!" He took a bite of mutton, only to feel that the flavor of the spices had completely penetrated in, the key was that the mutton was very soft, without that kind of tendony feeling, very easy to eat, "How did you make this taste?" ”
How else could he do it, remove the tendons and beat them repeatedly, but that was already done before he came.
"This feels so complicated...... "After eating a few mouthfuls of rice and drinking a few mouthfuls of soup, Wen Ming's expression was very complicated, "I vaguely feel like taking medicine, but how can the medicine be so fragrant?" Am I really taking medicine? Forget it, no matter, it's delicious! ”
Immediately didn't care about this, and continued to gulp and taste greedily.
