The Resplendent Farming Apothecary - Chapter 87

[Chapter 87 The Perfect Match]

Even the grandfather and grandson of Gu Xiao and Gu Ming couldn’t help but taste the fresh fragrance. This taste is out of control. In a pot of chicken soup, Gu Ye and Aunt Yan only drank one bowl each, and the rest were wrapped up by the two men.

Gu Ming spat out a piece of bone and drank the last mouthful of chicken soup into the mouth. He said, “I didn’t expect a medicinal diet to be so delicious. Sister, you are really in the midst of blessings and don’t know the blessings!”

Gu Ye rolled his eyes and gave He said, “You haven’t tried the supplements made by the chefs of Jun’s family. They only pay attention to nutrition, not taste. They have no taste at all, like chewing wax. It’s still our Aunt Yan’s superb cooking skills, which has made the largest restaurant in Yancheng. Let’s compare !”

Yan Qiutong pursed his lips and smiled, and said, “It’s the girl who gave pointers !” “My

sister has a rich tongue, so she is picky about what she eats. The braised pork I made last time was delicious. Now, my sister looks disgusted.” Gu Ming couldn’t help but complain about her sister.

Gu Ye rolled his eyes and said, “Then you have eaten really delicious braised pork! The taste is sweet and fluffy, and it melts in your mouth. It’s so delicious that you can’t wait to swallow your tongue!

” , she swallowed her saliva and turned to Yan Qiutong: “Aunt Yan, shall we make Dongpo meat for dinner?”

“Dongpo meat?” Yan Qiutong said with a puzzled face, “What kind of dish is that, I don’t even know it. If you haven’t heard of it, how can you make it?”

“Have you never heard of the famous Dongpo Meat?” Gu Ye opened his eyes wide, and when he saw his grandfather who was following Old General Chu, he shook his head to show that he was not sure, and sighed, ” It’s a pity, I can’t find a bosom friend for such a delicious food, sigh…”

“Sister, have you ever eaten Dongpo meat? Do you know how to make it?” Gu Ming turned into a foodie and asked impatiently.

“Wait a second.” Gu Ye went back to his room and pulled out a recipe from a pile of books in the space. In her previous life, she had collected all the valuable books in the Beijing library into the space. Who made her pay more attention to cultural heritage? These books have not been used in the past life, so try to make full use of their value in this life.

Gu Ye turned to the page of Dongpo’s meat illustration, copied a copy in scribbled font, and returned to the main room with great interest. She got on the kang again, patted the copied recipe on the kang table, and said to Yan Qiutong: “This is the recipe I got by accident, you can think about it.”

Yan Qiutong took the recipe and looked at it seriously. She frowned and said softly, “Girl, where did you get the recipe from? There are a lot of typos in it, and there are some words that I don’t recognize…”

Gu Ye grabbed the one with black lines all over his head. Paper, thought: Oops, I forgot that people in this world use traditional Chinese characters! She cleared her throat and patiently explained the ingredients, steps and heat to Yan Qiutong. As the saying goes, everything is perfect. Yan Qiutong has deep knowledge in cooking. With a little help from Gu Ye, she immediately understood the true meaning of “Dongpo Pork”.

Gu Xiao purchased a half-fan pig in the town, and Yan Qiutong cut the best pork belly from the top and began to cook “Dongpo Pork”. Master Gu Xiao and three were in the room sorting out the gifts from the Jun family and Chu family.

Most of the gifts for Gu Ye are jewelry and clothing. In addition to the additions her grandfather bought for her in Yancheng, there are only six sets of winter dresses. There are several pieces of material suitable for little girls to make clothes. Coupled with the clothes for grandpa and brother, Gu Ye felt that he could open a small cloth shop.

Originally, the large wooden box with only a shallow layer of clothes was full, and there were no clothes in it. Gu Ye had no choice but to wrap some clothes in furskin and pile them up at the end of the kang.

There are more than 20 pieces of beads, hairpins, earrings and bracelets suitable for little girls. Gu Ye wrapped it in a handkerchief and stuffed it into the innermost part of the box. For a little girl in the mountains, when she gets married, it is quite decent to be able to marry three pieces of silver—a silver hairpin, a silver lilac, and a silver bracelet. And most of them are hollow, worth a few taels at most.

Her jewelry, whichever one she took out, was no less than a few dozen taels of silver, which was too eye-catching. She has never been a high-profile person, especially when it comes to clothes, it’s good to be comfortable.

In the end, the tonics and medicinal materials that gave her a headache and were very expensive were sorted out. After eating for many days, how come there is no less? With so many supplements, when will you be able to eat them all? When Gu Xiao came in, what he saw was his little granddaughter, worried about a pile of supplements.

“You, you really don’t know how to be blessed. Such precious supplements, if others have sharpened their heads, they may not be able to get the same. You are good, I wish you could throw all these supplements away!” Gu Xiao put all these supplements away. Put it in the small cabinet above Gu Yekang’s head.

Only half of the cabinet was full. He frowned and said to himself: “It seems that Gu Qiang has to make a few more cabinets and cages, or else they will all be piled on the kang, what does it look like?

” He slipped and said

hurriedly : “Stop, what do you want to eat for the afternoon supplement? Bird’s nest? Ginseng? Ganoderma lucidum? Royal jelly? Osmanthus white fungus stewed with snow clams, right? Put more rock sugar.” In the fall, Gu Ye picked a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus, originally planning to make sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and adding it to the tonic should taste a little better. Her most urgent desire now is to make supplements into delicious dishes!

After tidying up the house, Gu Ye walked into the yard and saw a row of dried game hanging under the eaves, and asked, “Aunt Yan, are these game sent by Uncle Zhang? The prey he caught in more than a month would not be known. Have you brought them all to our house?”

Yan Qiutong’s voice came from the kitchen: “Zhang Orion heard that you were sick, so he specially dried all the pheasants he hit and sent them here, saying it was to make up your body. You are not at home. , he knocked on the door every time, put the game down and left, and didn’t even give me a chance to refuse…”

“Oh…when the Dongpo meat is made, I will give Uncle Zhang and the others a bowl, and take a look. Brother Lihu’s foot.” Gu Ye knew that Uncle Zhang was thanking them for helping Zhang Lihu heal his foot.

“We’ve been away for more than a month, is there anything new in the village?” Gu Ye grabbed a handful of pine nuts and sat at the door of the kitchen, nibbling like a little squirrel.

Yan Qiutong thought for a while and said: “Doctor Wu at the entrance of the village treated the wealthy owner of Xitou Village, and the more he treated the disease, the more serious it was. Before it was delivered to the town, the people would be gone. The doctor in the town said that he used the wrong taste. Medicine. The medicine is poisonous due to improper preparation. Not only can it not cure the disease, but it can cause death if taken for a long time.

The son of the wealthy family of Xitou Village brought many people, beat Doctor Wu, and asked him to accompany him for 100 taels of silver. Otherwise, I will arrest him and send him to the official position. Doctor Wu scraped it all together, and barely managed to collect the money. The people in Xitou Village are ruthless, so Wu Danggui can’t go to the kang right now. His daughter-in-law is crying all day long. , when you see someone, you will drag him to complain, and the daughter-in-law in the village will hide when you see her.”

Gu Ye had no good impression of the two couples, and said casually indifferently: “Many medicinal materials are themselves poisonous, and they are concocted. Only by obtaining the Fa can it be a good medicine for curing diseases and saving lives. Doctor Wu is so old that he cannot even know this, right?”

Yan Qiutong hesitated for a moment, came out of the kitchen, and said in a low voice, “Wu Angelica’s mother-in-law is still talking about Wu Angelica. The method of concocting the medicinal herbs was learned from you. You said that you deliberately let them learn the wrong method of making medicine, and your mind was vicious… In short, she ruined your reputation everywhere, girl!”

“Learn from me? I want to ask him, have you done the apprenticeship ceremony? Have you paid the apprenticeship fee? I said that before going to the border gate, the mother-in-law always came to our house to go around the house. They thought it was so simple, they could learn it with just a few glances? Now, are you suffering the consequences?” Gu Ye’s face was full of disdain.

Yan Qiutong smiled slightly and said: “Isn’t it! Now that Wu Danggui is lying on the kang, he has used all the valuables in the family to pay off the debt, and he also owes a whole bunch of debts. He killed people, who would dare to ask him to cure them. Disease?”

“Don’t worry, they won’t starve to death! The surnamed Wu can concoct a few simple medicinal herbs, and the money they earn every month is enough for them to live. Unfortunately, they are not satisfied, otherwise they will end up in such a situation?” After Gu Ye finished eating the pine nuts in her hand, she walked into the kitchen, using her sharper sense of taste than ordinary people, instructing Aunt Yan to cook supplements.

A pot of wolfberry and white fungus stewed with snow clams, the color and flavor are complete. With Aunt Yan around, Gu Ye no longer rejects supplements. She also joked: “Aunt Yan, in the future, let’s partner up to open a pharmacy shop in the capital, and the business will definitely be good!”

Yan Qiutong smiled and said, “I am a servant girl bought by the girl. I will do whatever you ask me to do, and say if you want to cooperate or not? The girl wants to open a medicated food shop, and the servant girl will help you in the kitchen. You can’t go wrong!

” Aunt Yan, we are a family now, we are not allowed to talk about ‘slaves’, it sounds awkward to me.” Although Aunt Yan’s origin is a bit strange, Gu Ye didn’t sense any malice from her, instead, there was a kind of let down. People want to feel close. Aunt Yan’s excellent cooking skills have already conquered the heart of her snack foodie. Since Aunt Yan supported her sick body to make her first meal, Gu Ye developed a deep sense of identification with her.

The corner of Yan Qiutong’s mouth raised a smile, and there was a faintly moved look in her eyes. She nodded and said, “Okay, I won’t call myself a slave in the future! The girl is going to the capital to develop? There is a girl with an extraordinary sense of taste, plus my With our craftsmanship, we will definitely be able to make the medicated food store bigger and bigger!”
