A mouthful of fried rice at a sky-high price, Old Tang apprenticed on the spot

Chapter 617 Jijidan

As the memory alienation gradually took effect, those memories belonging to Zhang Xuanqing were also stripped out.

Li Yi looked back at those memory fragments with indifferent eyes.

Through Zhang Xuanqing's memory, he solved a lot of doubts.

For example, Yongzheng's death was not due to taking Jiji Dan, because Li Yi saw the prescription of the pill, which contained some non-toxic medicinal materials.

According to the Dan Fang, this elixir uses two or three ounces of crispy antler, one or two halves each of Achyranthes bidentata and Cistanche deserticola, soaked in high-grade wine for one night, that is, 12 hours.

There are also one or two halves of dried rehmannia glutinosa, soaked in wine for half an hour, and then steamed in a wok.

Angelica also needs one or two halves, so soak in the Empress Reed wine for one night.

And one or two halves of Baiziren, one or two halves of agarwood, one or two halves of Fushen, and one or two halves of wolfberry soaked in wine for one night.

One or two halves of jujube kernels that have been lightly fried, and one or two halves of fried yams.

There is also one or two halves of polygala, cooked together with half a tael of licorice.

Two halves of aconite, processed and peeled navel.

After all these materials are dried, they are ground together into fine powder, kneaded into jujube meatballs, and Jiji Dan is made.

When eating, you only need to take it with warm wine and salt water before eating.

These medicinal materials are basically non-toxic. Even if long-term use does not have the effect of prolonging life, at least it will not kill people.

Through Zhang Xuanqing's memory, Li Yi also learned the inside story behind it.

It turned out that Zhang Taixu and the others had no intention of refining the real golden elixir for Yongzheng.

They just made this Jiji Dan with some warming and tonic medicinal materials to fool Yongzheng.

For most of the other time, they were using the royal resources to prostitute all kinds of materials in an attempt to refine the legendary Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.

But until they were expelled from the palace, they failed to refine it.

As for the cause of Yongzheng's death, it was actually myocardial infarction caused by prolonged overwork.

Qianlong, who rushed to hear the news at that time, also thought that Yongzheng died because he ate the golden elixir.

Seeing this, Zhang Taixu had no choice but to explain the truth.

Although the crime of deceiving the emperor is also a capital crime, if Zhang Taixu and the others are killed in this way, it will also confirm the fact that Yongzheng was deceived by alchemy Taoists.

It is not a big deal for the emperor to be deceived by his courtiers, and he can even boast of his kind heart.

But being deceived by alchemy Taoists is stupid, and no emperor is willing to bear the infamy of a stupid king.

Therefore, Qianlong had no choice but to issue the edict to expel Zhang Taixu and the others from the Old Summer Palace.

But this tone could not be let out, Qianlong took his anger on Taoism, suppressed the Taoist sects vigorously, and the world's orthodoxy also declined rapidly.

It is rumored among the people that Yongzheng died of taking Jindan, and the popes of various avenues did not dare to explain the reason, and there was unspeakable suffering.

It was against this background that Zhang Xuanqing was arranged to enter Beijing.

His task is not to intercede for the Taoist sects in the world, and he doesn't have that ability either.

The purpose of Zhang Taixu's arrangement for him to go to Beijing is to change Qianlong's prejudice against Taoism little by little through his superb medicinal cooking skills.

Zhang Taixu was very familiar with Qianlong, so he knew that he must not show any intention of changing Shangyi.

He can only install someone who can be under Qianlong's nose first, and who will not remind him of Yongzheng's death and annoy him, so that Qianlong can see the benefits of Taoism.

This process may take decades, and it may take Zhang Xuanqing's lifetime.

But for a sect that has been passed down for thousands of years, decades is just a flick of a finger.

The disputes of various sects in history are also based on the dynasty as the unit of time measurement.

A mere few decades, and a disciple's life, are absolutely worth paying for.

However, Li Yi knew the follow-up. In order to maintain the rule, Qianlong had a hard heart.

Not only did he intensify his suppression of Taoism, but he also intensified his suppression of Buddhism.

He not only repeatedly asked the provincial governors to reduce monk Taoism, but also repeatedly reprimanded the provinces for their poor implementation.

However, because the management was difficult to implement, he finally abolished the Duyi system and changed it to the Baojia system. Registered monks and Taoists were registered one by one, and house numbers were hung on temples and temples, just like checking households.

It was also from this time that he began to increase the number of times he called Zhang Xuanqing to make medicinal meals.

And Zhang Xuanqing gradually conquered Qianlong's appetite and stomach through his superb medicinal cooking skills.

The memory was gradually peeled off, Li Yi pulled out his thoughts from the memory fragments, and looked down at the medicine grinder at his feet.

This is the tool most commonly used by Zhang Xuanqing when making medicinal meals.

After crushing the medicine, he lowered his head and sniffed it. A strong fragrance of the medicine flooded into his nostrils, making him sneeze uncontrollably.

His nose is not even afraid of the pungent chili and prickly ash smoke, but the medicinal fragrance is extremely penetrating, easily breaking through his defenses.

But after the sneeze came out, Li Yi felt extraordinarily comfortable and refreshed.

Looking back at the metal plate, his occupation above is still [Famous Chef].

In the real world, it is really difficult to upgrade this profession.

Looking up at the still red and transparent fog wall around him, Li Yi was thoughtful.

He still remembered his little experiment before entering the wooden monument space this time.

This monument space also has the function of time acceleration, but the acceleration effect is 10:1.

He activated this function before entering the wooden monument space, but after he came out, this function has not ended yet.

Just as he was thinking, the bright red dissipated, and the fog wall gradually returned to its original state.

Seeing this, Li Yi had a thought.

The next moment, he woke up from the hotel bed.

Opening his eyes, he took his phone and checked the time.

Sure enough, only an hour had passed in real time.

This shows that his experiment is feasible. Using the time acceleration function can indeed reduce the time consumption of entering the dream space and save real time.

Putting the phone back, Li Yi habitually raised his right hand and pressed on the pulse of his left hand.

This is Zhang Xuanqing's habit, every day after waking up, he will take his own pulse.

What he studied in Longhu Mountain was pharmacology, and herbal diet was just a skill he practiced in order to verify the pharmacology.

However, he has never seen a doctor for others, and only practiced on himself.

Otherwise, he should be able to find a new career in Chinese medicine.

But he didn't think it was a pity, because what he had mastered was a better medicinal diet than medical skills.

Medical skills are for curing diseases, while medicated diets are for maintaining health and avoiding diseases.

No matter how powerful the medical skills are, there is no way to get sick. All approaches come from the same source, and health is the common goal of all.

Collecting his thoughts, he closed his eyes.

Staying up late is the most harmful to the body, even with his physical fitness, it is better to stay up late less.

After sleeping until dawn, Li Yi was woken up by the courier phone call, it was the book he bought had arrived.

Just after picking up the book from the courier, Li Yi was listing the ingredients and medicinal materials for Xiao Lu in the taxi when he suddenly received a WeChat message from Liu Yifei.

"I'm here for my aunt."

Seeing the message, Li Yi calculated the time, and it was indeed time.

"Are there any sanitary napkins left? I happened to be outside, so I'll buy you some if you don't."

After returning a message to Liu Yifei, Li Yi added some herbs to the list.

Motherwort, Rhizoma Chuanxiong, Safflower, Rhizoma Cyperi…
