Ten minutes later, Qin Xiaofei slowly opened his eyes and wiped the sweat from his head. He looked down at the herbs on the table. The herbs that were originally green were now dry!
These medicinal materials have completely squeezed out the moisture.
"It seems that this cultivation level is still not good enough." Qin Xiaofei smiled bitterly, because there was not much Qi in his body, so he basically didn't use it very much, except when the patient was seriously ill, he would use it.
Putting the depleted medicinal materials into the medicine jar prepared in advance, he started to crush the medicinal materials with a medicine hammer. Half an hour later, the medicinal materials became powdery.
Next is the most important step.
Qin Xiaofei started to knead pills into pigeon egg-sized pills according to the proportions of medicines in the medical scriptures passed down to him by the old Taoist priests.
However, because this was his first time doing it, even though there were drug distribution ratios, in order to get the best ratio of medicinal materials, he made five kinds of pills, and he slightly adjusted the proportion of medicinal materials for each pill.
After pinching it for an hour, I took the pills out and put them in the yard to dry.
The next morning, Qin Xiaofei got up early, went into the kitchen, and first took out wild mushrooms and green bamboo shoots. Medicinal meals usually contain more soup, so he also made soup.
Put the wild mushrooms into the soup, mix with the carrots and pork ribs, and finally add a pill.
After an hour of simmering, when Qin Xiaofei opened the lid of the pot, a fragrant aroma immediately hit his face.
“It smells so good!”
Qin Xiaofei looked happy. He didn't know how it tasted, but he knew in his heart that it would definitely taste good.
At this moment, Lao Qin, who was in the house, also smelled a scent, walked directly into the kitchen, subconsciously looked into the pot, and his eyes lit up, "You brat, what are you making? It smells so good?"
Seeing Old Qin like this, Qin Xiaofei chuckled and said, "Old Qin, we are making a medicinal diet, what do you think it tastes like?"
As he spoke, he scooped it up with a spoon and handed it to Lao Qin. Lao Qin couldn't wait to take the spoon and took a sip. His eyes suddenly opened and he looked strange.
"How's it going?" Seeing the old guy's weird expression, Qin Xiaofei's heart tightened, "Is it not delicious?"
After hearing this, Lao Qin still looked a little strange, turned his head and glanced at Qin Xiaofei, shaking his head slightly.
"What do you mean when you old guy shakes his head?" Qin Xiaofei was a little speechless, "Can you tell me whether it tastes good or not?"
At this time, Lao Qin's face returned to normal, but his eyes were full of disbelief. He smiled and said: "Smelly boy, the taste is so special. I feel that it has a medicinal flavor, but this soup is very fresh and tastes good.
"
Hearing what Lao Qin said, Qin Xiaofei immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Lao Qin said it was not delicious just now, "Are you telling the truth?"
"You brat, how could we lie to you? What I said is true." Lao Qin rolled his eyes and said, "If you don't believe it, try it yourself."
Qin Xiaofei nodded. After Lao Qin tasted it, he also gained a little confidence. He immediately picked up the spoon and took a bite. Qin Xiaofei's eyes also lit up slightly.
"It does taste good, but..." He smacked his lips, feeling the medicinal smell inside, "But it still doesn't work, it doesn't meet my requirements."
Hearing this, Lao Qin looked shocked and said, "Hey, brat, such a good medicinal diet doesn't taste good. I tell you, if this medicinal diet can be taken to a big hotel in the city, it will definitely be good."
Qin Xiaofei smiled bitterly.
To be honest, this medicinal diet is not bad, and it will definitely be popular if put in a hotel, but the taste he wants, including the formula of the medicinal diet in his mind, is still not good.
He immediately shook his head, picked up the pot, poured the medicinal food into the basin, and began to cook the second pot and mix it with the second pill. He believed that among these five pills, one must have the best taste.
"You brat, that's about right. I think it tastes really good." Lao Qin advised from the side.
Qin Xiaofei added water to the pot and turned around and said, "That's not possible. Since you want to do it, make it the best. And this medicinal diet is related to our county hotel, so we can't be careless. Since we can also make the best, then
Why should it be almost the same, don’t you think?”
Hearing this, Lao Qin looked at Qin Xiaofei with some relief. He stepped forward and patted Qin Xiaofei on the shoulder, "You brat, you have indeed grown up. Your thoughts have become more mature and you are serious about your work. You are right. If you can
If it’s done well, why should it be almost the same?”
Qin Xiaofei smiled and said, "After I finish cooking this pot, you can taste it again."
"Sure, as long as I can make you the best medicinal diet, we will taste whatever pot you make." Lao Qin laughed.
Qin Xiaofei groaned and started cooking. An hour later, the second pot came out. Lao Qin tasted it and his eyes were brighter than before, "Hey, brat, why do I think this pot is better than the one just now?"
have eaten."
Hearing this, Qin Xiaofei also took a sip. Indeed, as Lao Qin said, this second pot had a lighter medicinal flavor than the first pot, but the proportion of medicine was more, and the freshness was not damaged at all.
This medicine combines better with delicious food.
"Let's try the third pot again!" Qin Xiaofei was not satisfied yet and started to cook the third pot.
From morning until almost four o'clock in the afternoon, these five pots of medicinal food were finally finished.
In the end, he determined that the third pot was the best, and for this third pill, he slightly adjusted the medicated diet formula from the previous medical scriptures.
Qin Xiaofei was fortunate to have adjusted the proportion of medicinal ingredients.
He knew that there was nothing wrong with the proportion of medicinal food in the medical scriptures, but they were ancient medicinal materials. After hundreds or even thousands of years of development, environmental pollution, and rising temperatures, the medicinal materials had actually changed a bit, so
The proportion of natural medicinal materials also needs to be adjusted a little.
After deciding on the final medicinal diet, Qin Xiaofei brought these decoctions to Ding Yan and let him taste them.
Although he and Lao Qin think the third type is the best, everyone's taste is different, and he wants to hear other people's opinions.
When Ding Yan saw the medicinal diet, she immediately looked shocked, "Xiao Fei, did you really make the medicinal diet?"
When she and this boy were picking medicinal materials yesterday, she thought that this boy couldn't make this thing. She didn't expect that after a day, he would actually come to her with medicinal food.
Qin Xiaofei chuckled, "Yan'er, I'm not fooling you. I said I could make it, and I definitely can make it. But now I may need you to taste which of these medicinal foods tastes better."
Hearing this, Ding Yan glanced at the medicinal meal, raised her head and questioned: "Xiao Fei, can you drink this thing you made? It doesn't smell like medicine."
Although she was surprised by the medicinal food this guy made, she still had doubts about whether it could be drunk.
Hearing this, Qin Xiaofei was a little speechless. Why did this girl not believe him so much?
At that moment, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Don't worry, since it allows you to taste it, it must be good, you try it."
"Okay, if it doesn't taste good, I'll let you..." Ding Yan looked threatening, with a wicked smile on her face, "You know what I will do!"
