Chapter 81: Imparting
Qi Boosting Soup, in the eyes of outsiders, is actually a very ordinary chicken soup.
The chicken is the kind of little hen raised by ordinary farmers, a whole one is not even three catties, plucked and removed the internal organs, and even only has a weight of more than a catty, Tang Xiu put two in a row into the pot, and waited until the boiling water boiled and the medicinal chicken fragrance began to slowly diffuse outward, then he closed the lid of the pot and instructed Pei Caier to simmer slowly over low heat, anyway, there is still more than an hour to spare, don't worry.
"How about I teach you how to make this soup?"
Tang Xiu thought of an idea that he could drink delicious fresh soup and be reasonably lazy, so he set his eyes on Pei Cai'er, who was burning the fire.
"Me?" Pei Cai'er was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "How can you be a concubine?" I don't know how to make up my body, so I can't learn it. ”
Pei Cai'er didn't expect Tang Xiuyi to ask her such a question, didn't the Tang family's medicinal diet always say that it has always been passed on to men and not to women? If it weren't for Mrs. Tai's instructions, or Pei Cai'er herself, she wouldn't be too embarrassed to stay in this stove room and watch Tang Xiu make medicinal food, after all, they are still just a nominal couple, and they are too eager, who knows what Tang Xiu will think?
So the first time she heard Tang Xiu's question, Pei Cai'er's heart kept thinking about what Tang Xiu meant, was it temptation or sincerity?
Tang Xiuwei smiled and persuaded thoughtfully: "Medicine and martial arts are not separated, besides, it's just a soup, with me by the side, you should be able to get started soon." ”
Yiqi Zengyuan Soup is only the simplest of the Tang family's many medicinal diet recipes, and it does not require too advanced pharmacological knowledge when making it, as long as it can be cooked according to specific steps, coupled with the special secret ingredients of the Tang family, people who are a little more careful should be able to do it.
"It's still not necessary, after all, this is a secret legend of the Tang family, and it is inconvenient for the concubine to know."
Pei Cai'er shook her head again and refused, although the formula of the medicinal diet was very tempting, especially for a martial artist, even if it was only the simplest formula among them, it was simply a priceless treasure.
But after all, this is the Tang family's thing, although Pei Caier has always regarded herself as the young lady of the Tang family, but she herself also knows very well that she is not qualified to touch these ancestral secret recipes of the Tang family.
Not to mention that she is now in name only, even if she and Tang Xiu have become a real husband and wife, according to the ancestral teachings, she is not qualified to contact the Tang family's medical inheritance. Just like Mrs. Cui's family, she has been married into the Tang Mansion for more than 50 years, isn't it the same practice that doesn't know medicinal diet?
"I said, it's just a soup." Tang Xiu said: "I'm a lazy person, and I may not have much time to make these medicinal meals for my grandmother and grandmother, so I hope you can share some of it for me, just this soup, if you don't want to learn it, then I can only teach it to Tang Lu or Wan'er." ”
Although the secret recipes were important, they were nothing in Tang Xiu's eyes, and he didn't plan to make money with these medicinal foods anyway, and the reason why he studied them was just because he was curious, because he wanted to find a reasonable excuse for the magical effect of the space spring water.
Now that there is an excuse, Tang Xiu, the inheritance of the Tang family's medical skills, also understands it, which is enough to deal with all kinds of questions and suspicions in the future, so Tang Xiu naturally doesn't pay much attention to these things anymore.
"So?" Pei Cai'er's gaze stayed on Tang Xiu's face for a while, feeling that Tang Xiu was not joking, and hesitated for a while before responding softly: "Then it's better for the concubine to do it, but if the concubine body is not done well, the husband should not laugh at the concubine body." ”
Although Tang Lu and Wan'er are loyal, after all, there is another layer outside, and it is always a little inappropriate to pass on the secret recipe of the Tang family's medicinal diet to them.
"Okay, let me tell you how to make this soup......
Anyway, being idle is also idle, Tang Xiu was interested, so he simply sat next to Pei Cai'er, and carefully talked about Pei Cai'er word by word.
"Do you even need ginseng?"
"The Qi Enhancement Soup is naturally indispensable for the effect of ginseng to replenish Qi and increase the Yuan, but it seems that ordinary people like grandmothers and grandmothers who have not practiced martial arts, the general five years and ten years of ginseng is enough. If you are a warrior, the longer the year, the better the effect of eating, and it is generally best to use 100-year-old ginseng. ”
Seeing Pei Cai'er's surprised look, Tang Xiu knew that this girl must be worried about money again.
However, it is no wonder that the reason why the Tang family's medicinal diet is famous and less popularized is that almost every meal requires a large number of precious medicinal materials.
What is the concept of triple money? Take an ordinary family of five in Taiyuan City now, three times the money is enough for their family to live in Taiyuan City without worrying about food and clothing for half a year. How many people will be willing to drink a soup for half a year's living expenses for a family of five?
This is only the most common medicinal materials and ingredients used, if the wild ginseng is replaced with 50 or 100 years old, and the auxiliary medicines such as He Shou Wu are also replaced with higher years, its cost will increase dozens of times, and ordinary people simply cannot afford to consume it.
"That being said, but just one soup costs so much money, if you eat it often, no matter how thick your family is, you won't be able to hold it, right?"
Pei Cai'er turned her head and glanced at Tang Xiu, worried that this loser had made the old mistake of a loser again.
"You don't have to eat every day." Tang Xiu said softly disapprenosingly: "It's enough for the two old men to eat once a month, but the two of us and Wan'er can eat a few more times to replenish qi and increase the yuan, which will help increase our own cultivation." ”
Tang Xiu's cultivation of internal qi did not hide from Pei Cai'er's eyes, in fact, on the first day of the internal qi in Tang Xiu's body, Pei Cai'er had already noticed it, and also gave Tang Xiu proper guidance, otherwise Tang Xiu would not have touched the doorway of internal qi in such a short period of time and improved it, so Tang Xiu did not shy away from martial arts cultivation in front of Pei Cai'er.
"Still don't." Pei Cai'er directly broke off the idea of making this medicinal food often, "It's good to only make one dish for grandma and mother every month, as for us, it's enough to eat more watermelons usually, the medicinal power contained in those watermelons is no worse than the hundred-year-old wild ginseng." ”
Tang Xiu chuckled and shook his head slightly, and did not tell Pei Cai'er that if the watermelons she ate every day were taken out and sold, they were actually not much cheaper than these ordinary medicinal foods.
All the wealth of the Tang family now, under Tang Xiu's intentional indulgence, is almost all concentrated in Pei Caier's hands, and nearly 40,000 yuan of cash has been held in her hands all the time, but Pei Caier can still keep her heart unchanged, and she is still so simple and thrifty, which is very rare.
At the very least, Tang Xiu is admiring this little girl more and more.
A woman who loves money but is not greedy for money, is thrifty but not stingy, is not vain, and is not pompous, such a woman may be worthy of trust......
