First smoked mind

Chapter 25 Bamboo Leaf Rice Dumplings

The morning meal is noodle soup simmered with shredded radish, which is cooked with fermented rice.The shredded radish is smooth and tender, and the noodles are small and distinct, and they melt in the mouth.After drinking a bowl of soup, the whole body is warmed up, and the slightly spicy taste of the fermented rice is refreshing and warming up.

In addition to the usual vegetarian stuffed buns and bean paste buns, Qiao Chuxun also made some meat dumplings as the staple food.Each one is no more than the size of a floating yuanzi. The inside is stuffed with diced cloud legs and finely chopped lotus root, and the outside is white and elastic glutinous rice, which is wrapped in bamboo leaves and steamed in a pan.Peel one off, Yuxue is cute and small, just like a newborn ginger horn, you can swallow the whole one in one bite.Eating a piece of salty and spicy potherb mustard is appetizing and delicious.Take another sip of the fresh and sweet gnocchi soup, and I really feel refreshed for the next day.

After eating the food, Qiao Chuxun just stood up to clean up the dishes, but Jing Yi grabbed his hand to stop him.Seeing her wide-eyed looking at him in bewilderment and panic, Jing Yi twitched the corners of his lips and said, "Didn't you agree to go to that newly opened medicine hall yesterday, don't you want to check?"

Qiao Chuxun suddenly turned from panic to joy, and looked at him with crooked eyes: "Master agrees?" After staying in his bedroom for a long time last night, he didn't see him mentioning this, Qiao Chuxun thought that Jing Yi didn't want to care about it Seeing that he was not in a good mood all night, he didn't dare to say more.

Seeing her appearance, Jing Yi raised the corners of his lips and said, "Since you want to investigate so much, why didn't you say so yesterday?" There was something strange about this matter, as long as she was willing to say something, would he still say no?

Qiao Chuxun bit her lip, raised her eyes to look at him, and said hesitantly, "Master, he didn't seem very happy last night. I'm afraid I'll upset you if I say it." Then it's time to vent his anger on the little rabbit again.

Jing Yi stood up, took her hand and walked out, his face and voice were very flat, but there was always a little unwillingness in his voice: "Last night, I was a little unhappy." Thinking that she might already have someone in her heart, he I can't wait to fly to Bianjing and take that man out and beat him up to relieve my anger!

Just two steps away, Qiao Chuxun stopped and refused to move forward.Jing Yi raised an eyebrow to look at her. "No..." Qiao Chuxun hurriedly shook his head, fearing that he would regret it, "The dishes and chopsticks haven't been cleaned yet..."

Jing Yi snorted, and continued to pull people out: "There are so many people raised in the mansion, it's not just that they only know how to eat."

As soon as I went out, I saw Xiao Wan walking into the house with a small half pot of noodle soup smiling and walking not far away, with the words "It's all mine, no one is allowed to steal it" clearly written on her face.No need to ask, this kid must have gone to the kitchen to fill out the last bit of the pot, intending to eat it all for himself.In the past, when everyone ate together, this guy was always the first one to go to the table and the last one to leave.After seventeen or eighteen years, Jing Yi has never seen him say the word "support".

"Xiao Wan." Recalling the glorious past of these people, Jing Yi felt quite helpless in his heart, and called out in a low voice.

Xiao Wan had already stepped over the threshold with one leg, and when she heard Jing Yi's call, she immediately stopped her feet, twisted her body on the spot, swallowed her saliva and replied, "Young master." Don't worry about it, his Soup, shredded radish soup, cute little gnocchi, fragrant and slippery gnocchi soup, it doesn’t taste good when it’s cold!

How could Jing Yi not know what was going on in his mind, but he was in a good mood holding his little hand at the moment, so he couldn't afford to torment him with evil intentions: "After eating later, put away the bowls and chopsticks in my room gone."

Xiaowan let out an "hey" as if she had been pardoned, and turned around happily and went into the room.

"Also." The poor little boy got up again, turned his head and looked at his master sadly, the soup was really getting cold.Jing Yi glanced at him, and continued: "If we come back late at noon, you can take care of the meals yourself."

Don't always wait for Qiao Chuxun to come back to cook for them. In the past, I didn't see how they were hungry and full. In the past few months, I have cooked three meals a day for these people on time. What to eat and what to do, what to eat and what to do, I am used to it!It's not that they don't have monthly money, they can afford to go to even the most expensive restaurants in the city, unless they all stay at home and don't move their nests, they will know that Qiao Chuxun is tired.

Thinking about this, Jing Yi tightened his grip on Qiao Chuxun's hand, rubbed his fingertips against the tender palm, and pulled him to the front yard.

Xiao Wan stood at the same spot holding the soup bowl, watching the figures of the two people gradually going away, she was speechless for a while and almost wanted to grab the ground with her head.After realizing it, he rushed into the room with a "woo hoo" sound, and complained with tears in his eyes: "The master has kidnapped Miss Qiao, and we are left alone for lunch! Hoo hoo..."

Everyone in the room was stunned for a moment, and then there was a howl of wolves.Xiao Tao'er covered her ears and pursed her mouth in worry. There might not be any of those frozen buns left in the kitchen tank today.

In the past few days, every time Jing Yi held her hand, it took Qiao Chuxun a long time to realize.Today is no exception.It was a long way out of the house, and Qiao Chuxun realized that he had been held by this person for a long time, and hurriedly withdrew his hand outside.

Jing Yi was not as easy to talk as last night, he clenched his little hands and refused to let go, he scolded seriously: "There are so many people on the street, if I get lost later, where can I find you?"

Qiao Chuxun looked around, early in the morning...

Jing Yi added unhurriedly: "There are still few people at the moment, and it will be too late when there are more people." He called taking precautions before they happen.

Qiao Chuxun had fully understood that this man was playing a rogue again, bit his lower lip and glared at him, trying to break free with his wrist.Jing Yi simply wrapped her wrists together in his palms, restraining her struggling movements: "Don't struggle, it won't be good if you twist your wrists." With her little strength, her wrists were sore after ordering a bowl of tea, how could she twist her wrists really hard? had him?

Qiao Chuxun couldn't even move this time, so he could only follow his pace, his cheeks gradually turned red, and he lowered his head silently.

Jing Yi turned his head to look at her, and smiled with the corners of his lips curled up: "You checked Mrs. Meng's pulse at Meng's house that day, what did you see?"

Qiao Chuxun was shy and angry at first, but there was still a sweetness in his heart that he didn't notice, and his mind was a mess.Hearing Jing Yi talking to her, he raised his head in a daze, and it took him a while to realize what Jing Yi was asking, then he frowned: "That Mrs. Meng, and yesterday's Mrs., seem to have eaten something inappropriate. ..."

Jing Yi recalled that day when everyone gathered around a table to eat: "Wine?"

Qiao Chuxun shook her head: "Probably not. Although it is not suitable to drink alcohol while pregnant, I think that Mrs. Meng seems to drink a lot, and her alcohol capacity is quite good. Personal constitution is different. If she has become a habit for many years, it is okay to drink less." It's all right."

Jing Yi recalled that this person usually pays attention to the combination of ingredients when cooking, and asked her: "Is there any conflict between the dishes on the table that day?" Doesn't it mean that some things cannot be eaten together?For example, crabs and persimmons, as well as ground mutton and mung beans. Although he doesn't know the specific pharmacology, he has heard people say that since he was a child.

Qiao Chuxun gave him a funny look: "Of course not." Not to mention that the chef hired by the rich family is more particular about cooking than she is, and he also understands the principles of general ingredients; , can she stop him from pinching?Although this person's health is getting better day by day, she rarely eats food that is too cold or too hot.Even if you do it, you will pay great attention to the combination of ingredients and cooking methods, and try to make things milder.

Jing Yi seemed to see through this person's thoughts, and lowered his head to tease her: "You kept your head down during the meal that day, I thought you didn't notice what I ate at all." Now it seems that he still cares about him.

Qiao Chuxun's cheeks were burned by what he said, and she hurriedly turned her face to look ahead.He was so close to her, how could he not see what was in his bag!
Jing Yi looked at her long and slender eyelashes that were trembling non-stop, curled up the corners of her lips, and her tone of voice returned to the indifferent tone before when she was talking about business: "Then why did you say that eating something bad caused the abdominal pain?"

"It's not eating bad food..." Qiao Chuxun tilted his head, as if he was choosing his words carefully, "It's just that the pulse condition is clearly caused by eating something, and it was abruptly disturbed by the urge, although it will not cause miscarriage, but The person involved will definitely have a similar feeling, feeling cramping in the lower abdomen and sinking breath."

Jing Yi thoughtfully listened to Qiao Chuxun's words, and soon arrived at the newest medicine hall in the city.The plaque above the door reads "Chu'an Hall" in big silver lacquer characters. Jing Yi raised his eyebrows with great interest. Generally, the names of medicine halls are mostly related to medicinal materials or medical theory, and it can be more or less always seen that it is a medicine hall. "Chu'an Church", at first glance, I really can't figure out what kind of business it is!

Qiao Chuxun looked up at the signboard, with a pink-blue background and silver lacquered seal characters.For some reason, he felt uneasy for no reason, and unconsciously clasped Jing Yi's hand tightly with his fingertips.

Jing Yi in turn tightened his hand, signaling her not to panic.No matter how big the universe is inside, it's just a medicine hall, at worst, bringing out Yi Qingyu's name is enough to calm ordinary people.

The two came out earlier, and the medicine hall had just opened.At this time, the huge room was empty, only the rustling sound of rubbing and the sound of the wooden box being moved could be heard faintly.

Because of her family, Qiao Chuxun knew very well that this was the sound only when someone was taking the medicine according to the prescription and wrapping the medicine.Whispered to Jing Yi, the two walked in a few more steps.

"Are you two seeing a doctor or buying medicine?" The dark blue curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged man walked out.This man was pale and thin, and he looked more like a businessman than a doctor.

Qiao Chuxun was taken aback by the question, not knowing how to deal with this situation, he just stood there dumbfounded.Jing Yi at the side was very calm, hugging Qiao Chuxun's waist, and said with a slight smile, "That's right, my sister was pregnant, and she suddenly had abdominal cramps yesterday. I have heard that the doctors in Chu'an Hall have superb medical skills, so I came here today to have a look."

The man pondered for a moment, and said: "Before seeing him, it's better not to make a judgment. The rule of our Chu'an Hall is to receive medical treatment after noon every day. If Madam is inconvenient to come, we can also send someone over. But what about the consultation fee?" The man paused slightly, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of three, "it's three times more than the average doctor's consultation fee."

Qiao Chuxun was slightly surprised: "So expensive?"

The man smiled proudly: "It is expensive for a reason. We have a doctor surnamed Xiao who is best at taking care of the pregnant body. Everyone who has seen it before... oh, our doctor at that time The branch hall has not yet opened to Yuezhou," the man said, and smiled again, "everyone who has been seen by Dr. Xiao before, the final delivery was extremely smooth, and the baby was also very healthy. In Wuzhou The area around the prefecture is very famous!"

Jing Yi listened carefully to what this man said, showing a very interested look: "Oh? If this is the case, I really want to ask this Doctor Xiao to show my sister's pulse."

The man made a gesture of invitation, signaling the two to go forward to the left: "Doctor Xiao has been very busy recently, and he is still seeing a lady in the outskirts of the city, but he is almost back this afternoon. If you two are really interested, you may as well Leave your address, and we will send someone there directly when the referral is made."

After taking two steps, Jing Yi stopped suddenly, frowned and said to himself, "The outskirts of the city? Could it be that Mrs. Meng's wife?"

The man turned his head when he heard the words, his expression was much more eager than before: "It turns out that the young master and Master Meng also know each other. That's right, it's his wife."

Qiao Chuxun saw that Jing Yi was acting, so she didn't dare to speak up, fearing that her clumsy speech would spoil things.At this time, he heard that the arrogant person that day was the Dr. Xiao he kept mentioning, and suddenly remembered what the old man said yesterday: Since the girl has already guessed in her heart, she can go back and look through the books to prove it.He asked himself to go back and flip through the book, and said that the answer was in this medicine hall, wouldn't that be...

"Young master." Qiao Chuxun called out in a warm voice, interrupting the conversation between the two, "I remember that Mrs. Meng once mentioned that a kind of anti-fetal medicine sold by Chu'antang is very nourishing..." She hardly made up any words at ordinary times. He hesitated to say this sentence, and kept looking at Jing Yi before saying it.

Jing Yi looked at her eyes with a slight smile, embraced her and said, "If you don't tell me, I really forgot." Turning to look at the middle-aged man, "Since that Doctor Xiao is not here, let's wait another day Then come again. I don’t know that kind of anti-fetal medicine, can you give us a pair first, and cook a bowl for my sister when I go back at noon, maybe it will have some curative effect.”

The man hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Please wait a moment, both of you."

Carrying two paper bags and walking a certain distance, Jing Yi took her hand and said with a smile, "When did Chu Xun know how to deceive people?"

Qiao Chuxun was slightly embarrassed, and her eyelashes trembled slightly: "I... I suddenly remembered what the old doctor said yesterday. He asked me to go back and look up the medical books, and said that this pharmacy would know what we wanted. I checked...and the person said just now that Dr. Xiao is the one we met in the villa before, I suddenly thought..."

Jing Yi squeezed her hand, encouraging her to continue, "What do you think of?"

Qiao Chuxun looked up at him, and said with some hesitation: "That Mrs. Meng, and the Mrs. yesterday, did not eat any food that caused that. It is very likely that they took some kind of medicine."
