Healing through food has been around for a long time, as Tang Zhou used to make rock sugar pear balls for Wei Zheng's mother, and Tang Zhou mentioned it many times before and even wrote it into a book. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's just that medicinal diets are not widely recognized, and for many doctors, they don't think that medicinal diets can really cure diseases.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the status of doctors and cooks.

In ancient times, the status of the doctor was noble, but the status of the cook was very low, everyone believed the doctor's words, but a cook said that his food could cure diseases, but I am afraid that not many people believed it.

Now Li Shimin wants him Tang Zhou to develop medicinal diet, which is indeed a reform and an opportunity to increase income for Cuiminglou, but no matter how Tang Zhou thinks of Li Shimin, he doesn't think Li Shimin will be so kind, and he also goes to check books for medicinal diet?

Did he not believe that he said that mulberry beef bone broth could cure his disease, or did he have another purpose?

Tang Zhou was a little stunned, and when Li Shimin saw him like this, he shouted: "Tang Aiqing, what do you think of my idea?" ”

Tang Zhou reacted and hurriedly responded: "The good idea of the saint, the minister thinks it is completely okay, and it is much better to maintain health through food, which is much better than medicine." ”

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction: "Since you think it's okay, then go back and arrange it, since this idea was given to you by me, then I don't want much profit from this medicinal diet, and I can give it to Sancheng." ”

Burst......

Tang Zhou knew that Li Shimin had bad intentions, no wonder he was so kind to give himself ideas, it turned out that he still wanted to make money.

Tang Zhou pursed his lips and said, "Holy Lord, shouldn't this money be counted in Cuiming Building?" You can take 10% of the profits of Cuiming Building, if this is opened for you separately, in case the eldest grandson and Lu Guogong check the accounts that day, it is not easy for the minister to explain. ”

As soon as Tang Zhou said this, Li Shimin was shocked, although he was not afraid of these courtiers, but if it was really spread out, he would also share the profits of Cuiming Building, it would not be good, Li Shimin's eyes rolled slightly, and said: "Then let's do it, I sold this idea to you, and the price is 10,000 yuan, how about it?" ”

Hearing this price, Tang Zhou had an impulse to fan Li Shimin, medicinal diet was already very common in later generations, and this idea was still used by Li Shimin, this is simply a pit money, although he Tang Zhou is not short of this 10,000 yuan, but 10,000 yuan is not a small amount, how can he give Li Shimin casually?

After some thought, Tang Zhou said: "The saint wants this price, and the minister doesn't dare not give it, but it's not easy to move this money from my Tanghou Mansion to your Neiku Mansion, otherwise, all the medicinal food will be given to the saint for free in the future, even the beef is free, how about it?" ”

It was about money, Tang Zhou had no choice but to have the courage to bargain with Li Shimin, and Li Shimin thought that what Tang Zhou said also made some sense, so he nodded and agreed.

In fact, although Li Shimin said that he shared the profits of the first floor of Cuiming Building, but now the money has not yet reached his inner treasury mansion, and he really didn't find a good reason to ask Tang Zhou to send the money, but Li Shimin and Tang Zhou have already said that if he Li Shimin wants to use the money, Tang Zhou will take out Li Shimin's money in his own name.

This is likely to be a good thing for Tang Zhou, of course, it is also very likely to be a disaster, if Li Shimin uses money to do good deeds, he can definitely win a good reputation by taking out the money, if Li Shimin wants to use the money to overhaul the civil engineering, then he will become a sinner, but for this, Tang Zhou has no choice but to agree.

After leaving the palace and returning to the mansion, Tang Zhou told Lin Qingsu about the medicinal diet.

Lin Qingsu heard that Tang Zhou was going to make medicinal food, and he expressed his support, but he was very strange.

"Little Hou Ye will make medicinal food, why tell me, I don't know how to cook."

Tang Zhou smiled bitterly and said: "Although Madame doesn't know how to cook, she understands pharmacology, and a lot of food is mutually restrictive, so how to make this medicinal diet still needs Madame's help." ”

Lin Qingsu knew this, and after listening to it, she nodded and said that there was no problem.

After Tang Zhou got Lin Qingsu's support, he began to write medicinal diet recipes, he first wrote out some of the things he would do in his previous life, but there were not many, after all, he did not specialize in this in his previous life, and restaurants like him rarely launched medicinal diet food.

After he wrote these out, he went to read some books related to medicinal diets written by his predecessors, such as the "Food Classic" and "Food Formula" that Li Shimin said.

After four or five days of reading and researching in this way, Tang Zhou finally came up with a general outline.

He divided the medicinal diet into four categories, namely health care and longevity, beauty salons, evil spirits and disease rehabilitation, and these four categories are divided into different subcategories, such as health care and longevity are divided into seven categories: tonifying qi and blood, regulating yin and yang, regulating the five internal organs, nootropic medicine, eye-brightening medicine, deaf ears, and longevity.

These seven sub-categories are subdivided, such as tonifying qi and blood medicinal diet, there are ten perfect tonic soups, eight treasure cakes and so on.

Because there are a lot of food involved, and there is a danger of food restraint, it is not something that can be written in a while, Tang Zhou is perfecting, while discussing some food restraint with Lin Qingsu, and at the same time, he has to constantly try how to make these medicinal diets.

If it's just to cure the disease, then just find a doctor, since it's a medicinal diet, Tang Zhou has to do these medicinal diets can not only cure the disease and be good for the body, but also delicious and delicious, this is the most basic principle for him as a chef, if the food he makes is not delicious, then what is the medicinal diet?

This was a very cumbersome and complicated project, and Tang Zhou thought that it would be solved soon, but later he found that it would take half a year or a year to completely perfect these medicinal diets.

But this is nothing for Tang Zhou, because he found that he completely liked this, and he found that medicinal food was very challenging for him, and he was not just about food.

A good chef must not only be able to cook those dishes that have been handed down, but also know how to create their own food, give themselves some ingredients, and how to match these ingredients together to make them delicious?

Now Tang Zhou has such a feeling, a lot of ingredients that can cure diseases have been given to him, and he has to find a way to make these ingredients delicious, after he came here, for the first time, he felt that in terms of food, he still needs to do a lot.

Because of his love, Tang Zhou became obsessed with medicinal diets, and every day he went to study books, discuss with Lin Qingsu, and study recipes in the kitchen, sitting over and over again.

And just when Tang Zhou was making unremitting efforts for medicinal diet, the silk competition in the capital finally began, and the silk competition was an opportunity for Xiuchun Fang to open the market and the beginning of Qin Shu's career, so even if Tang Zhou was obsessed with the study of medicinal diet, after the silk competition began, he still put down the matter of medicinal diet and put his energy into the silk competition.
