The Door God of Meiman

Chapter 41 Flick, Then Flick
Qin Hao knows a little bit about traditional Chinese medicine. After all, he has practiced martial arts all year round and has a good understanding of the body. He has also done medicinal baths a few times, and he also has a little understanding of medicinal materials. , coupled with the experience of cultivating Taoism, in simple terms, it may be possible to treat a headache and brain fever, even if it cannot be cured, the medicine prescribed will not kill people.

Hearing Qin Hao's words, Empress Bai's eyes lit up, and she said, "I'm talking about the medicinal diet for martial arts practitioners, not the medicinal diet made by Chinese restaurants in Chinatown."

"Okay, okay! But don't regret it! Traditional Chinese medicine diet also pays attention to color and fragrance. We have an old saying that 'medicine is not as good as food tonic', so there have been many medicinal diet prescriptions for thousands of years. However, practicing martial arts What people eat is different.

The medicated diet eaten by martial arts practitioners focuses on strengthening the body and restoring the body's damage caused by excessive movements during martial arts. Therefore, the taste of the medicated diet is not very good. I tried it once, and it was bitter and astringent, very unpalatable.Really, I only ate it once, and I don't want to eat it in my life. "Qin Hao replied speechlessly.

Qin Hao really only made himself that kind of medicated diet to aid in martial arts training once, and it was indeed bitter and astringent and very unpalatable. After eating it once, he didn't want to eat it again, but the main reason why he didn't eat it a second time was that the medicinal materials were not easy to obtain. And it is troublesome to do, and the effect is not great, just like tasteless.

There may be some medicinal foods that are not bad for practicing martial arts, but it's a pity that the ancestors didn't keep them for themselves.

"If you are really curious, I can give you the formula of the medicinal diet. You can go back and find a chef to make it yourself. I don't have all the medicinal materials here, so I can't make it. But you can rest assured that the medicinal diet I know is Modern people don’t know the ancient recipes from the Tang Dynasty.” After all, Qin Hao added that he owed favors.

"An ancient prescription from the Tang Dynasty, then I have to try it out." The White Queen did not refuse, and agreed.

In foreign countries, the Tang Dynasty is the most mysterious dynasty. The gathering place of overseas Chinese can be called "Chinatown", which shows the status of the "Tang" dynasty.

The older the better it is an antique, and even if it is an antique, it does not necessarily conform to the law that the older the better.

For example, porcelain, the firing level of porcelain is also gradually improving, and the porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty may not be more valuable than the porcelain of the Ming Dynasty.

The same is true for herbal diets. Traditional Chinese medicine is also gradually developing. There are more and more types and functions of herbal diets, which are becoming more and more perfect, and the proportions are becoming more and more perfect.

Qin Hao deliberately said that it was a prescription from the Tang Dynasty, but in fact he was just fooling around.

In addition, Qin Hao is also going to take out his carefully crafted "eggplant".

This was made by Qin Hao flipping through "A Dream of Red Mansions" when he was bored. The taste is not bad, but both the name and the method are enough to fool people.

If it is "eggplant", to put it bluntly, it is dried eggplant cut into slices and cured, nothing fresh, but this is the eggplant in "Dream of Red Mansions", and every dried eggplant has to go through N procedures.

That's the case with the White Queen's Noble Fan. If thrown into "Dream of Red Mansions", it's no wonder that it doesn't get turned into scum in seconds.

Skye can cook, but his level is not high, and he and the White Queen seem to have some attributes. He doesn't want to cook for the White Queen, so he plays computer quietly on the sofa.

The White Queen was very interested in Qin Hao's cooking skills, and followed in the kitchen all the time, only asking questions and not helping, because she didn't know how to do it and didn't understand.

Seeing the big jar that Qin Hao took out, with the red paper on it that said "Eggplant", he couldn't help but ask, "What is this?"

Qin Haoxin said that he was hooked, and fooled you to death: "This is an eggplant, an eggplant made with a special method. I made it according to the recipe described in "A Dream of Red Mansions", the pinnacle of our country's ancient novels."

""Dream of Red Mansions", I have heard of the four great classics. It is said that many professors can't study them thoroughly in their entire lives."

"It takes a long time to make such a jar of eggplants.

First peel off the skin of the fresh eggplant, only need to clean the meat, cut into small cubes, fry it with chicken oil, then use chicken breast and mushrooms, new bamboo shoots, mushrooms, dried five-spice rot, and all kinds of dried fruits into cubes , Simmer it dry with chicken broth, collect the sesame oil, mix it with bad oil, put it in a porcelain jar and seal it tightly, take it out when you want to eat.

From preparing the freshest materials to putting on the table, there are [-] steps to go through, and non-visited guests are not allowed to use it. "Qin Hao continued to fool around with the tiger skin of "Dream of Red Mansions".

The White Queen didn't know what was going on, so she stopped talking.

I also saw Qin Hao picking up a cucumber and calling: "Skye, come here, there is a distinguished guest at home, so show your hand and make an emerald raincoat."

The White Queen wondered what the relationship between cucumbers and jewels was, only to see Skye lazily walking over after hearing Qin Hao's words.

Picking up the kitchen knife and swiping dozens of knives, the shadow of the knife flickered. In the blink of an eye, a cucumber had been cut into countless pieces of equal size, and the cucumber was still connected together.

Skye was quietly serving ingredients, and Qin Hao continued to brag: "This dish is called an emerald raincoat. It looks emerald green, but it looks like a farmer's coir raincoat. It is sweet and sour, and the knife skills of ordinary people are not up to standard."

Skye rolled his eyes after hearing Qin Hao's bragging, and left with a plate.

There are only three people in the family, so there is no need to do too much, but Qin Hao wanted to show off and fool around, so he directly showed off the Red Mansion Banquet.

The Red Mansion Banquet comes from the rich and colorful food culture in "Dream of Red Mansions".

It is like Chinese New Year for the maids and servants of ordinary people to eat oily meals, but this is not the case for the maids of Jia's family. The food is too oily and greasy.

But many dishes in the Red Mansion Banquet are very suitable for fooling people, especially foreigners, such as eggplant, isn’t it just eggplant, and the emerald raincoat is sweet and sour cucumber, but with added steps, added difficulty, and added luxury .

The White Queen has eaten Chinese food many times, and she has also eaten a lot of luxurious ones, but she has never seen this Red Mansion Banquet.

As for Qin Hao's so-called "Ancient Tang Dynasty Prescription", it is indeed unique.

Qin Qiong fought on the battlefield in his early years, fought bloody battles repeatedly, and accumulated countless military exploits, but he was also injured a lot, so Qin Qiong almost spent his later years on the sick bed.

This "ancient prescription" was left behind by Sun Simiao, a peerless doctor known as the "King of Medicine", after he treated Qin Qiong.

The main function of this medicated diet is not to strengthen the body, but to strengthen the foundation and cultivate the vitality. The elderly can prolong their life by taking it, and the young people can be energetic and clear-headed by taking it.
