Medical Immortals come from the future

Chapter 280

However, some people have raised doubts.

"If you say that these two dishes are mutually exclusive, then people who eat this dish should be like him, so why is the mother okay? And since noon, there should be many people who have ordered these two dishes. Are there few people?"

This question is very quality.

Everyone looked at Sima Qing suspiciously again.

A certain girl has no pressure at all, her smile remains unchanged: "I think, this child should eat the most of these two dishes at noon today?"

The child's unreliable mother thought about it for a while, but answered truthfully: "Yes, this child is a bit partial to food. He doesn't eat any dishes he doesn't like. He eats whatever he likes. When he eats at noon, he only eats After eating these two dishes, I, I didn't eat a single bite..."

"Ah, so it turns out..."

"No wonder..."

"Fortunately, I didn't order these two dishes."

Sima Qing said again: "Actually, there is some truth in the saying that food can restrain each other, but it's not for everyone. According to the theory of Chinese medicine diet therapy, food also has four elements of cold, cool, warm, and hot, as well as salty, sour, and hot. Food habits such as sweet, bitter, and pungent; and human constitutions are divided into cold, heat, deficiency, and excess. If two foods with completely opposite dietary habits are eaten at the same time, their therapeutic effects may cancel each other out.”

In traditional literature, when it comes to certain foods that cannot be eaten together, it is often used to avoid something, such as "catfish avoid beef liver".

The word "avoid" can explain the problem very well: the upper part is one's own self, and the lower part is the psychological heart.

The so-called "food taboo" is not a product of empirical science, but more of a taboo in the sense of folklore: they may or may not happen, and in order to avoid risks, try not to do them.

Just like the explanation of Hu Sihui, a physician in the Yuan Dynasty: "You don't want to eat mixed food, and you may commit crimes if you eat mixed food. Those who know it will avoid it."

The listed food groups all contain a certain amount of nutrients to varying degrees.

For example, crab meat is tender, delicious, and contains high protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, etc. In addition to rich sugar, pectin, minerals and multivitamins, persimmon also contains more tannic acid.

These two foods contain slightly different nutrients, and do not contain any toxins. Even if they are eaten together, how can there be "compatibility"?

The saying that crabs and persimmons cannot be eaten together may be a coincidence.

If you eat immature persimmons, or do not pay attention to hygiene when eating persimmons, and eat uncooked and cooked crabs at the same time, it will cause acute gastrointestinal diseases; in addition, persimmons contain a lot of tannic acid, which is rich in Contains protein, if it is eaten together and eaten too much, after the combination of tannic acid and protein in the gastrointestinal tract, it is easy to form gastric persimmon stone.Stomach persimmon stones that remain in the stomach for a long time will inevitably rot and deteriorate, producing toxins, causing a series of symptoms such as dizziness, body aches and discomfort, diarrhea and abdominal pain, and even vomiting.

Therefore, sometimes it is improper diet and cannot be attributed to food mutual restraint.

"Because everyone has different physical problems, eating the same dish on one person may cause adverse reactions, but if another person eats it, there may be no problem at all. So even if any of you Eating these two dishes like this child does not necessarily mean that this will happen."

Sima Qing felt that she should not be too alarmist, so she tried her best to downplay the consequences.

"So that's the case, then we can rest assured."

"But there is no guarantee? I didn't expect this to happen to the food, so I have to be careful in the future."

"But we usually eat so many things, how do we know whether those things will be incompatible with each other?"

"Yes, yes, if you accidentally eat several types of food that are compatible with each other, wouldn't it be a disaster?"

Seeing that everyone was worrying blindly again, Sima Qing felt a little helpless, thinking that the per capita medical knowledge of this little Yan Dynasty was really pitifully low.

But now that I have said so much, it is not good to give up halfway. If these little friends have some shadows because of the theory of "food mutual restraint" that I said today, they will be trembling after eating, wouldn't it be a sin?
"Ahem, actually, it's not as serious as you think."

Although there is a theoretical basis for food mutual restraint, in the ancient times when science and technology were underdeveloped and reliable research methods were lacking, every statement or experience could not be guaranteed to be accurate, so mistakes of one kind or another would inevitably occur.

Eating disorders such as food toxins, food contamination, food deterioration, food allergies, overeating and excessive partial eclipse, as well as some dietary problems that occur by chance, may be mistakenly regarded as food mutual restraint.

Food allergy is a common phenomenon in dietary life. Modern medical research has found that food allergy is an immune allergy, but in traditional Chinese medicine diet therapy, it also belongs to food mutual restraint in a broad sense.

There are many legends of dietary taboos in the folk, such as egg and saccharin poisoning and death; tofu and honey can cause deafness; potatoes and bananas can cause freckles; beef and brown sugar can cause death; If you eat licorice together, you will die; if you eat dog meat and mung beans together, you will bloat...

"Hehe, in fact, most of these are misinformation. If the results of the legends are true, there will be many unjust dead ghosts throughout the ages." Sima Qing explained, "And let me tell you, many foods are considered true. The mutual restraint of the two drugs will only produce some effects if taken together within a certain period of time, for example, if taken at the same time, within an hour or three hours, if there is a gap of seven or eight hours or a day in between, naturally there is no need to worry."

After talking about the last point, Sima Qing felt a little mentally retarded. Needless to say, she should be able to think of this with her knees, right?
But it was obvious that others didn't think so, and they all nodded their heads in a thoughtful epiphany.

The proprietress in red smiled gratefully at Sima Qing, and then said to the woman: "Since the matter has been clarified, although it has been proved that our food itself is not the problem, after all, your son's problem is with us, so this responsibility, we will take it.”

The woman's eyes lit up, and she said cheerfully, "Well, it's your responsibility. Forget it, because I misunderstood you as black-hearted shopkeepers, one hundred knives is a bit much, so let me take a step back. , just take half of it."

The proprietress in red smiled enchantingly: "Ten knives, one point can't be more."

The tone is decisive, meaning whether you want love or not, just leave, there is no room for negotiation.

At this time, the woman also knew that it was time to accept it, so she pretended to be heartbroken and waved her hand helplessly: "Forget it, who made your shop bigger and our customers smaller? Ten knives is ten knives." !"

"What's this called? Ten knives is too little?"

"That's right, the child is fine, why not just have diarrhea a few times? And now they have cured it for free."

"It's really cheap and good-looking, people, don't be too greedy!"

"If you want me to say, don't encourage this kind of atmosphere, don't give me a knife!"

……

In the end, under the "contempt" of everyone, the woman took ten dollars from the lady in red and walked away in despair with her son.

After the matter was over, the diners who watched the excitement also dispersed.

The proprietress in red immediately ordered the kitchen and the counter to remove the two new dishes, eel and spinach clear soup and braised peanut hairy crab, which caused this "accident".

Sima Qing, who had finished meddling with her own business, was about to sneak away with her senior brothers and sisters, but the proprietress in red found out in time and kept them.

"Girl, don't rush to leave, I haven't thanked you yet."

"No need, no need, it's just a little effort, not to mention thank you. Healing diseases and saving lives is my job. Besides, I don't like that woman, she's here to blackmail her."

After hearing this, the proprietress in red took her arm affectionately, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing. We run restaurants, and we often encounter such things. She's not too much, at least her son really eats it." There is something wrong with our food, it’s not like some are pretending at all! If it weren’t for you, girl, we would have to send a doctor in the end, and those doctors may not be able to tell the problem of food incompatibility. Speaking of it, You helped that child see a doctor, and I haven't paid you yet!"

Not only did Sima Qing not feel uncomfortable about the warm and intimate gesture of the proprietress, but she felt that she was generous and unaffected.

"Miss Boss, I'm not happy when you say that. Why don't you get paid? Could it be that I'm like the kind of person who cares about money?" She deliberately put on an angry face.

"Of course not!" The proprietress quickly explained, "Haha, blame me, blame me, it's really vulgar to mention any money without money! Just because of your good medical skills at a young age, girl, are you afraid that you don't have money?"

"Uh, in your place, the doctor makes a lot of money?"

"That's natural!"

You must know that in the Xiaoyan Dynasty, doctors were definitely a popular industry. For an ordinary doctor, the minimum fee for a visit was five knives. Doctors, which of them are not rich and powerful masters?
"Hey, girl, where are you from? You're not from our country, right?" The proprietress finally noticed it.

"Hey, we are from the Golden Dragon Kingdom." Sima Qing told the truth.

"Ah! No wonder!" The proprietress smiled in surprise and exaggeration.

Sima Qing pulled the three senior brothers and sisters over, and introduced to her with a smile: "This is my third senior brother, this is my seventh senior sister, and my eighth senior sister. We all came from Jinlong Kingdom, and we just arrived at your place yesterday."

Looking at the four young men and women in ordinary clothes who couldn't stop themselves from exuding a higher-than-average aura, and all of them were of the highest quality, the proprietress felt that their identities must be unusual, at least, they wouldn't be Like the way they dress, it is an ordinary foreign visitor.

"Hello, you! It turns out that you are a friend from afar, what a neglect!" The proprietress smiled enthusiastically, without asking them, she had already called the second brother, and ordered, "Ask the kitchen to prepare a meal. The best dish on the table, I want to entertain distinguished guests tonight!"
