Cao Cao's chef

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 the door, which seemed to confirm his thoughts. He simply pushed a few times, and while ensuring that Guo Jia would not be hurt, he opened the door and saw her fainted inside.

"The breathing is a little bit, the pulse is a little weak... His face is pale... What the hell is going on?" Wang Yong was a little helpless, he had no medical skills, and he was more willing to seek help from doctors when he encountered problems.

But the problem is that the level of medical care in this day and age is really not reassuring, especially now, he regrets why he didn't look through the "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook" left by his grandma.

In the era when the level of medical care was the most scarce, Western medicine did not have enough equipment for mass production, so the slogan "Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine" had to be used to produce a series of Chinese patent medicines. This booklet saved hundreds of millions of people.

"Call the doctor immediately!" Wang Yong rushed out immediately, shouting with the loudest voice.

Xun Yu, who was working, suddenly pressed the brush on the paper, revealing a streak of ink.It's just that she didn't care so much at all, she stood up quickly, ran out, and shouted to the near side: "What are you waiting for? Call the doctor immediately, the best doctor!"

The near side hurriedly called the doctor over, during which time Wang Yong had already carried Guo Jia to the bed and put him down.

"Leave it to us, it's not convenient for you as 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. This matter had nothing to do with him, but he always felt a little uneasy.After all, Guo Jia fainted suddenly while talking with him.

Besides, what Guo Jia said about leaving here if he wanted to become a chef made him unable to ignore it.If ghosts become enemies, one can imagine how terrifying this is!

"The body is so weak, and the mood fluctuates greatly... What happened?" The doctor checked carefully, and then asked with a somewhat complaining tone.

It's just why Wang Yong always felt that the doctor was looking at what he said. Could it be that he suspected that he had made her like this? !
"What should we do now?" Cheng Yu asked immediately.

"She had the problem because of her mood swings. It's a heart disease. First, I need to replenish some vitality. I'll prescribe Siwutang. But this can only treat the symptoms. If you want to cure the root cause, you still need to enlighten her. As long as you let go of your worries, then Most of the illness will be cured!" The doctor solemnly exhorted.

Ahhhhh!Wang Yong was a little crazy, why did the doctor look at him again? !
"She doesn't like bitter medicines, can you prescribe some medicines that are easy to take?" Xun Yu's voice drifted out. Since he was a child, Guo Jia probably drank too much bitter medicines, and slowly began to feel sick to the bitter medicines.The medicinal material of Siwu Decoction is Rehmannia glutinosa, which is very bitter and has a strong taste. She vomited it every time she drank it, and Xun Yu knew this.

"How can there be any medicine that is not bitter?" The doctor shook his head, and then began to write the prescription. There is no such thing as the flamboyance of later generations. Siwu Decoction is more commonly used in this era. When many people need to replenish their vitality, they will grab the medicine by themselves.

"Wait a minute, Siwu Decoction?" He was entangled in the doctor's gaze until he left, and Wang Yongcai remembered a question, that is, Siwu Decoction was originally used in the late Tang Dynasty, and it was also used by women in the Song and Ming Dynasties to regulate menstruation , its effect of nourishing blood and replenishing vitality is undoubted, but the background of the current era should be the Han Dynasty, right?
No wonder Wang Yong remembers it so clearly. At that time, there was a Two-dimensional fan in the island country, which introduced a medicinal food made of Siwutang. At that time, I was curious, so I investigated the so-called Siwutang, vaguely Remember these things.

"What should I do?" Xun Yu had a headache, "Shopkeeper, is there any way to make the soup less bitter?"

"If there is a way, it's not that there is no way...I'll think of a way...but even if I find a way, so what? As the doctor said, her problem is a heart disease, not a physical problem!" Wang Yong looked at Xun Yu .

"Well, I'll think of a way..." Xun Yu was also a little flustered at the moment, after all, he was his childhood sweetheart's playmate.

Wang Yong only thinks that these two people are very funny. They are both extremely intelligent existences, but one can't understand that this is a game set up by Xun Yu, and the latter is clearly planning. Now this clumsy performance almost makes her plan come true. Failed, but she didn't notice it.

"Concern leads to chaos, or do you mean the authorities are fans?" Wang Yong commented with interest, "It's just a bit sad, these two girls seem to really love each other!"

In other words, Xun Yu's care for Guo Jia is more caring, but the latter still can't tell the difference between friendship and love.Then the wrong feeling slowly ferments, and the two parties may have an illusion of 'I may like each other'.

Xun Yu was aware of this, so he planned to let the two of them recognize each other's feelings before they reached the worst point, so he set up this situation. Unfortunately, she probably didn't notice that she was already deeply involved in it. .

"If you can't save yourself, what are you talking about about saving people?" Wang Yong shook his head, walked out of the Yamen, and then walked towards the Wanshiwu. Some of the materials he needed could only be provided there.

"Wanshiwu, do you need any help?" The pure and lovely doorman greeted himself kindly. This is a beautiful boy who looks like a girl. Women have a high status, so naturally they will not work in the service industry.

Speaking of which, Wen Ming, before he became a salesman, didn't he also come from a doorman background?Grow your hair a little longer, and then put on women's clothes, even without makeup, the appearance of red lips and white teeth is no different from that of a beautiful girl!
"Call the salesman No. 372!" Wang Yong replied. Each salesman has several customers. In order to improve the service quality, Wanshiwu generally prohibits the salesmen from grabbing customers, unless there is no time, you can Get someone to do it for you.

"Okay!" The doorman nodded, "Please wait a moment, I'll report and see if the salesman of No. 372 is here!"

Not long after, Wen Ming came out with a smile on his face. Obviously, he benefited a lot from the previous transaction.Seeing that it was Wang Yong, he greeted him cordially and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with? Of course, if it's about the follow-up remuneration... We can't get the goods right away in such a hurry."

"It's not about remuneration, I want a catty or two of mutton, and some other materials..." Wang Yong reported the materials needed, "Can I get it? Now!"

"Of course, otherwise we wouldn't be called Wan Shi Wu here!" Wen Ming said proudly, and immediately went to make arrangements.Master House has warehouses in various places, and stores them according to different materials.It will take some time to get it, but Wang Yong needs to wait a bit.

"In today's world, mutton is limited to one catty per person per month. I took out my part and got you two catties. Two onions, four carrots, and all the medicinal materials you want! But banana taro is hard to find , but we know where there are wild products, and we will send them later!" Wen Ming came back fifteen minutes later, bringing back most of the materials.

Banana taro is also known as "Fangui taro" in the south. When the flowers are picked off, some sweet honey water can be sucked out from the end.As for the root, it can be eaten like taro, but the taste is different from taro.

Generally speaking, it is sweeter than taro, and it lacks the waxy feeling.Boiling soup is a very good choice. Even if no sugar is added to the soup, it will feel very sweet.But when Wang Yong traveled through time, very few people knew about it.

"Why did you think of using that?" Wen Ming felt very strange, after all, he had never heard that it could be eaten.

"Some people think that the medicine is bitter, and use this thing to sweeten the soup. The key is that I need potatoes. I wonder if you can find them?" Wang Yong asked directly. He knew that there were peanuts and many foreign species. He felt that the number of species had reached that of the Song Dynasty. Level, Wang Yong also suspected that there would be potatoes and corn, so he asked.

"During this time, we at Wanshiwu are also looking for the potatoes and corn you mentioned before, but there is no news yet." Wen Ming shook his head. Ten days ago, Wang Yong entrusted them to look for them, but there is no news yet. .Of course, the Wang Yong ten days ago was not enough for them to pay that much attention.It's different now, the things he asked to find were all found in an expedited manner.

"Well, I took the things away, and the cannas were delivered directly to the restaurant. As for those things, I also put a lot of thought into them!" Wang Yong nodded, took the things, and walked towards the store.In times of scarcity, these things are not cheap. If there is no restriction on sales, Wanshiwu will lose money and die. Goodwill should not be trampled by poverty. After all, there are too few people in this world who know how to be grateful.

"The casserole is always available!" Back at the restaurant, Wang Yong began to process the ingredients.

There is a lot of fat on the mutton, but he doesn't need it, so he shaved it off with a kitchen knife.Peeling carrots used to be done with a peeler. It seems that there is no such thing in this world. Maybe you can tell Master House to help them make it. By the way, apply for a patent, if there is such a thing.You know, there doesn't seem to be such a thing as a craftsman's guild in this world.

"A lot of skill!" Wang Yong said with emotion, peeling is not as difficult as imagined, and his physical coordination and eyesight have improved. The advantage will be greatly reduced, if you want to be a chef, you have to be very good at yourself!"

The radishes and green onions are sliced ​​obliquely, and the onions are cut in half for later use. The selected medicinal materials are put into a white cloth bag one after another.If you look carefully, you will find that the angelica, chuanxiong, white peony root and rehmannia glutinosa contained in Siwu Decoction are also contained in it.In addition, there are star anise, cumin and turmeric.Yes, Wang Yong is planning to restore the 'mutton curry with Siwu Soup'.

"Shopkeeper, the canna you want has been cleaned!" Wen Ming finally rushed over and took out the canna.Then he looked at the desk and was a little curious, "Is this for cooking?"

"Cook a dish for a weak little girl... how about eating some for yourself and saving some for you?" Wang Yong thought for a while.

"I didn't expect me to have good food, so thank the owner!" Wen Ming was naturally disrespectful.

"Just pay attention to what I explained!" Wang Yong didn't plan to take his money either.

Put the medicinal materials into the pot, stew together with the mutton, keep the fat that has been peeled off, and use the remaining carrots and green onions to fry a dish with mutton oil if necessary.

"Speaking of the owner, are you making soup or medicine?" Wen Ming asked, smelling the faint fragrance of medicine in the air.

"It's a dish, but it's also medicine. I'm more used to calling it 'medicine'." Wang Yong didn't talk nonsense, and took this opportunity to wash and cook the rice.You have to use rice to cook this.He has tried the method of cooking rice without a rice cooker before, hoping to remember the heat.

"The smell is a bit strong..." Wang Yong sniffed the smell, and the smell of rehmannia glutinosa was more obvious. "Could it be that the original work uses rehmannia glutinosa? Or did I miss a certain step?!"

Strictly speaking, the ingredients of Siwutang should be soaked in warm water for a period of time to reduce its medicinal taste.But considering Guo Jia's situation, it doesn't matter if the medicine is more effective.

"Medicine? Another new cooking method? Why does the owner know so many things?" Wen Ming instantly became a curious baby.

"Try more, sometimes you will naturally understand something. For example, this medicinal diet was originally developed to allow some patients who hate medicinal soup to be able to take the medicine smoothly. At the same time, some medicinal materials are added to the ingredients, and they are usually stewed. It can also have the effect of strengthening the body without disease, the so-called medicine and food are of the same origin, if eating can make a good body, it is also a good result." Wang Yong said slowly.

"Do you need Wanshiwu to help you record the skill of this medicinal diet?" Wen Ming suggested.

"No, I plan to directly disclose the cooking methods including steaming and frying. In the past, there were too few cooking methods, so every recipe, every skill, and even every new seasoning are precious. Now cooking With so many methods, it is naturally impossible to monopolize a certain dish, so the chef industry will not become lifeless." Wang Yong shook his head.

In other words, the more developed the chef's status, the stronger the people's pursuit of delicious food, the better he will be in this world.

"The shopkeeper's game of chess is a bit big!" Wen Ming was also clever, and soon knew Wang Yong's plan.

"The prosperity of the chef industry is driven by the demand for various ingredients. The end result is that Manshiwu makes a lot of money. You are also the beneficiaries. Shouldn't you push it behind?" Wang Yong joked.

"Well, I will report this to the supervisor. If possible, I can indeed promote 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 sliced ​​banana taro, carrots, scallions, and onions into it and stewed them together.When it is almost the same, take out the cloth bag, slowly fish out the contents, and then put the rice in two smaller casserole pots.

Seeing Wang Yong start to cut the mutton into pieces, put the vegetables on the plate, and a dish took shape in front of him, Wen Ming swallowed, and asked slowly, "What kind of dish is this?"

"Mutton Siwu Soup Curry, in fact, it would be better if lamb was used..." Wang Yong was not very satisfied with this dish. He used canna taro instead of potatoes. After all, the taste would be the same. He didn't feel relieved until he tasted the soup. Take a breath.

It can't be completely replaced, but it makes the soup a little sweeter and covers up the medicinal taste.Perhaps it would 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. A cook who will only be the same, at least not an excellent chef.

"This one is for you, I'll keep the other one, take care of it for me!" 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 delicious food made his tongue salivate and make him hungry.

"Wow!" He took a bite of the mutton, only to feel that the flavor of the spices had completely penetrated into it. The key is that the mutton is very soft, without that kind of chewy feeling, and it is very easy to eat. "How do you get this taste?"

How else can I do it, remove the tendons and beat repeatedly, but this has been done before he came.

"This feeling is so complicated..." After a few mouthfuls of rice and soup, Wen Ming's expression was very complicated, "It vaguely feels like taking medicine, but how can medicine be so fragrant? I'm really taking it Medicine? Forget it, don’t care, it’s so delicious!”

I didn't care about these immediately, and continued to gulp and taste greedily.
