Chapter 144: Just Scratching the Surface
"In our Yan tribe, the five flavors generally refer to the five tastes of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty. In fact, in the food we come into contact with, there are not only these five tastes, but also other tastes such as numbness and astringency.
Most of the foods with various flavors correspond to the five internal organs in our body. For example, acid enters the liver, bitterness enters the lungs, bitterness enters the heart, saltiness enters the kidneys, and sweetness enters the spleen. Pungent refers to spicy, sweet represents sweetness, and the five flavors enter the body, which will enter every organ independently, and then have different effects on the body according to the amount of intake.
Therefore, food with five flavors can also be regarded as medicinal food. As the saying goes, the taste is in the mouth, and the taste is in the stomach. Different flavors of medicinal food have different pharmacological effects on the human body.
For example, sweetness can replenish deficiency and urgency, sourness can reduce lung astringency and intestinal astringency, bitterness can reduce dryness and dampness, saltiness can be soft and firm, and pungent can be published. In terms of attributes, the spicy, sweet and light belong to yang, and the sour, bitter and salty belong to yin.
Therefore, the five flavors not only represent dietary conditioning, but also represent the theory of medicine and food. Through the five flavors, we can not only taste more flavors, but also draw an overview of the most suitable medicine and food for the human body. ”
Mo Lan's five-flavor theory completely convinced everyone.
Not only the Snow Ape Clan, but even Han Che and the others also heard Mo Lan talk about taste for the first time, which was really eye-opening!
Xian originally thought that as a priest and witch doctor, even if he was bad, he couldn't get anywhere worse than Mo Lan, but who knew that Mo Lan had hills and ravines in his chest, which he could never reach!
The so-called witch is really powerful, no one can compare!
"Miss Mo Lan's breadth of knowledge is impressed by Jinyu! Don't tell the girl, I didn't think much of your status as a holy witch before. But now, I am truly convinced, and I no longer have the slightest doubt! ”
Jinyu raised her hand to pay tribute to Mo Lan.
Mo Lan immediately smiled and said, "Patriarch Jinyu has won the award!" Because I have been learning Chinese medicine since I was a child, I know more about the principles of medicine, and what I just said is just the surface of what I have learned! ”
What did you learn?
If you tell everything that Mo Lan has learned, won't you be able to finish it in ten days and ten nights?
Jinyu was embarrassed for a while.
No wonder she was able to take the Flame Wolf Clan to break the Gu vine into their Snow Ape Clan's territory, he really saw it this time, what does it mean to have someone outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky!
Mo Lan saw that Jinyu was finally shocked by her knowledge, and she was secretly happy in her heart.
If you can get Jinyu's approval, then it will be easier to exchange for the Blood Golden Lotus. I believe that this time they come to the Snow Ape Ancient Clan, they will definitely not return in vain!
Give this Jinyu a little more sweetness, it seems that it still has some effect, just according to this momentum, she doesn't believe that she can't impress Jinyu!
Thinking of this, Mo Lan suddenly poked a piece of barbecue meat and handed it to Han Che's mouth and said, "Han Che, eat a piece of barbecue!" ”
Han Che was slightly stunned when he heard this.
In public, apart from holding hands and occasionally leaning on him when tired, Morando would probably not make intimate gestures to him. Suddenly feeding him at this time, I don't know what the purpose is?
Although feeding is not very intimate, Han Che has always regarded this as a small love between the two, and Mo Lan also knows it, so she must have ulterior motives for doing this suddenly.
Han Che's heart moved, and he immediately opened his mouth to eat the piece of meat poked by Mo Lan and chewed it carefully.
"How? What did you taste? ”
Mo Lan leaned sideways, holding her cheeks and looking at Han Che, her eyes full of interest.
Han Che's eyes were full of doubts at first, but as he chewed, a trace of strangeness suddenly flashed, and when he finally swallowed the food, a trace of doubt rose on his face.
Mo Lan knew that he had tasted that taste when he saw his expression change, but he seemed a little unsure.
So she immediately raised her hand and poked another piece of barbecue with a little fat to his mouth, and said, "Taste another piece and see if you can be sure?" ”
Han Che looked at Mo Lan, his heart moved slightly, obediently swallowed the second piece of barbecue meat she sent, and began to patiently explore the realm of taste again.
When the second piece of roast meat was swallowed by Han Che, the doubt in his eyes finally dissipated, replaced by a determined light.
He looked up at Mo Lan and said, "What you let me taste is the fishy smell in this meat that is covered by the spicy taste?" ”
"That's right! Don't you think it's special? ”
Mo Lan knew that Han Che must have understood what she asked him to taste, and he must have tasted it.
But Han Che shook his head when he heard this: "This kind of taste is very ordinary, and it will be found in yak wildebeest." Today's barbecue seems to have a heavier fishy smell, but because of the spicy taste, many people ignore the past. ”
Mo Lan nodded and said, "That's right! The smell was half masked by the spiciness, and I bet the smell would have lingered throughout the tribe if the piece of meat wasn't roasted separately with the spicy sauce. Patriarch Jinyu, am I right? ”
At the end, Mo Lan looked directly at Jinyu and asked.
Jinyu was also very surprised that Mo Lan's sense of taste was so keen, and the barbecue meat of their tribe was served after several seasons to hide the peculiar smell, but she didn't expect it to be tasted by her!
He smiled slightly bitterly and said, "Miss Mo Lan is really smart, this barbecue meat is unique to my clan's territory. But this kind of beast meat naturally lives in this peculiar smell, and there are many clansmen who don't like it.
Later, we mixed it with chili oil made from bird's buttocks, which removed the peculiar smell. It's just that I didn't expect that Miss Molan's taste is so sensitive, and she actually tasted it! ”
"Smelly?"
When Mo Lan heard this, she shook her head with a smile and said, "Our Yan clan calls this kind of smell fat, and this kind of fishy smell is generally the most common in cattle and sheep. For example, yak and takin will have this taste in their meat. But the smell of the cow is much smaller than that of the sheep, so I'm sure this bowl of roast meat is made with mutton! ”
"Sheep? What kind of beast is a sheep? I've never heard the name. Strings, have you heard that? ”
Han Che was suspicious, and couldn't help but look at the strings on the side and asked.
"I've never heard of it, and it doesn't mention it in our wolf tome."
Xian frowned and thought about it, also confused. What kind of animal is the 'sheep' that Mo Lan is talking about?
"You haven't heard of much! I'm sure it's definitely lamb, though! ”
Mo Lan looked sure, as if she would never guess wrong.
"Miss Merlan, you were wrong this time! This barbecue is not lamb, but the unique long-haired antelope meat of our people. These long-haired antelopes also live on the slopes of Pingling, which is in the west of our territory. Every year we would hunt some back, fur for clothes, and meat for roasting. ”
Although Jinyu didn't know what the 'sheep' in Mo Lan's mouth was, the hairy antelope was the only source of meat in their clan, and there could be no mistake.
When Mo Lan heard this, she said disapprovingly: "I don't know if the Jinyu Patriarch is inconvenient to take me to see the long-haired antelope?" After reading it, I have a little surprise for the Snow Ape Clan! ”
When Jinyu heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up!
"Okay, when I'm done with my meal, I'll take you there!"
