Chapter Forty-Six: The People Eat for Heaven

Memories suddenly go back to the way they used to be.

"Master, why are you eating turnips again today! It's been three days in a row!"

Xiao Yun, who had returned from collecting medicine, threw a basket full of medicinal herbs to the ground, wiped his sweat, and when he looked up, he saw a plate of steaming white radishes brought by his master, and Xiao Yun's face immediately could be understood with Haoyue.

"Stinky boy, what do you know, you've eaten a lot of shark fin lobster, but I've never seen a ghost crying wolf like you. The ingredients are not expensive, just the price, but the delicious food does not mean that you can afford it!"

Xiao Yun's master put the plate on the table, and then buried his head in two bowls of white rice, and did not humble himself to let his tired and sweaty apprentice take out a pair of chopsticks and eat it directly.

"Hey! Okay, you cook, I'll go out to collect medicine, isn't it just sleeping and oversleeping to deal with errands temporarily!

Xiao Yun glanced at it, and saw that the white rice was not steamed, but mixed with sandwich, and according to his understanding of the master, he knew that he was arguing with strong words.

"Eh, you don't know this! Food and medicine are of the same origin, this person is born inseparable from grains and grains, and medicinal materials are poisonous ingredients distributed from them, although they can cure diseases, but they will still sink down in the human body Some toxins, this is the saying that medicine is poisonous!"

While Xiao Yun's master was proudly showing off, he didn't want to take a bite of the plump rice, and his teeth were like eating popping candy.

"Then according to what you say, I eat this big white radish every day, and I can still strengthen my body and stay away from all kinds of diseases, right?"

Xiao Yunqiang held back a smile, lowered his head and sat down on the bench, and said.

"I'll tell you, if you are sick, you have to take medicine, and if you are healthy, you have to eat, but the premise is that the medicine is right, the disease will be cured.

After the master said this, he ate the food in a big gulp with the mentality that he had made it himself and cried and wanted to finish it.

Xiao Yun only regarded it as the master's crooked reasoning, and he didn't plan to argue about anything, but when he listlessly took out his chopsticks and grabbed a piece of the unsightly white radish slices, a kind of boldness like surfing under a waterfall in summer suddenly stimulated from the bottom of his heart.

That was the first time Xiao Yun had heard of the medical theory of the homology of food and medicine, and then under the influence of the master's ears and eyes, he was convinced of this, which is why Xiao Yun, who was once accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, is now obsessed with those snacks that circulate in the folk alleys.

Xiao Yun looked down at the cage of xiaolongbao in front of him, took a bite, and recognized the brightly colored vegetable filling, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"This little brother, it seems that you also know a lot about the cooking of this delicacy, so can you still decipher the mystery of your mother-in-law's grandfather's craftsmanship!"

The diner in a suit turned his head and looked curiously at the plainly dressed but well-dressed young man.

"Doctor Xiao, do you really know?"

Jiang Xiaofang, who was sitting opposite Xiao Yun, was also looking at her with a halo on her head with anticipation at the moment.

"Actually, I don't have any unique opinions on cooking, but I've studied medicine for a few days, and I have a little bit of a shallow understanding of food and drink, since several people want to know why my mother-in-law's breakfast is so delicious, so I'll talk about it?"

When Xiao Yun said this, he quickly wandered his eyes to his mother-in-law and grandfather standing at the door of the store, as if asking if he could continue to talk, after all, this involves other people's secret recipes, and in this era, all walks of life attach great importance to copyright.

Mother-in-law and grandfather glanced at each other, and then smiled at Xiao Yun together, seemingly not minding.

"Let's talk about this bun first, the vegetable filling contains wild vegetables and mushroom ingredients, and at the same time combines the essence of several flavors of traditional Chinese medicine!"

To the applause of several diners, Xiao Yun began his performance.

"This mountain vegetable is cold, and it is early in the morning at the moment, the temperature is low, and the temperature in the human body is still maintained in a constant temperature state, if you do not adapt to the surrounding temperature for a long time, it is easy to get cold, so this mountain vegetable can cool the blood and regulate the temperature, so that people can eat refreshed!"

As soon as Xiao Yun's words came out, the mother-in-law, who bought breakfast, wiped her stained hands on her apron and became interested in his story.

"The fungi are warm, which can neutralize the coolness of wild vegetables, thereby improving the taste and nutrition of the vegetable filling, and the essence of traditional Chinese medicine can play a role in scraping the oil and removing turbidity, and give people a sense of endless aftertaste after eating!"

After Xiao Yun said this, he ordered the remaining half of the bun and swallowed it into his mouth, his face full of imperial respect.

"This little brother's insight is really subtle and unique, and he is really taught, but I would like to ask my mother-in-law, is the little brother's interpretation the secret of your cooking?"

Several diners were all stunned, only the middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes was full of praise and twisted his head towards his mother-in-law.

"Hey, what this little brother said is too profound, I don't understand, but there is one point, food and medicine are of the same origin, and the things made must be nutritious, worthy of the value and significance of the growth of all things in this world, after all, the people take food as the sky!"

The uncle who made the buns waved his hand, although the tone of his speech was mixed with the thick dialect of the northwest region, but these words were enough to shock a full house.

"Uncle is uncle, this is really good, in fact, to be honest, I came to the northwest this time, just to develop local food characteristics, and then a promotion, I don't know if the uncle is interested in joining in?"

The man in the suit stood up and greeted with a sincere face.

"Forget it, our husband and wife are honest and responsible croppers, living here all their lives, and they won't toss when they are old, but this little brother has such insight at a young age, maybe he is what you need to look for!"

The uncle waved his hand and immediately returned to the kitchen, continuing to hold his delicious buns, while the mother-in-law began to put away the dishes and chopsticks left by the departing guests.

"Xiaofang, it's not too early, let's go!"

Xiao Yun was not interested in the conversation between the man in the suit and the uncle, but reminded Jiang Xiaofang, who was staring at him stunned.

"Okay, Doctor Xiao, let's go!"

Jiang Xiaofang was a little caught off guard, after she swallowed the last wonton in the bowl, she stood up with Xiao Yun, and said that she was going to leave together.

"This little brother, please stay, listen to your accent like you're from the south, I wonder if you can let you delay for a few minutes?"

At this moment, the man in the suit hurriedly followed and handed Xiao Yun a business card.
