Chapter 218: Nine Steamed and Nine Dried Sesame Pills
Yan Baiwei didn't ask again.
After Tang Shijin finished practicing martial arts, he didn't go to practice calligraphy first, went directly to the county seat after breakfast, signed a contract with Yang Dalang, settled the account, and then bought something for making sesame balls, and asked Hua Wolf for a few jars of honey.
Nine steamed and nine tanned sesame pills are a thousand-year-old recipe left by Sun Simiao, and it is recorded in Ge Hong's "Hug Puzi": "Taking black sesame pills for 100 days can get rid of all chronic diseases." One year of skin radiance, two years of gray hair back to black, three years of tooth loss and regeneration, four years of water and fire can not be harmed, five years of walking and galloping horses, long-term service and longevity. ”
It's definitely an exaggeration, but it's a well-known dietary prescription.
In her space, black sesame seeds are only planted casually, not much, and in order to avoid the effect being too obvious, she mixed half of the ordinary black sesame seeds to make a kind, which is ready to be sent to Beijing to a limited number of people in the Tao family.
I made a little bit of black sesame seeds mixed with it, and kept this one for my own consumption. Because this thing can't be stored for a long time, there is no way to do more.
It's also very simple to do, first of all, you have to wash it carefully and carefully a few times, and you don't want any small deflated ones.
Then it is steamed in the basket, which needs to be basketed at the beginning of the sunny day (5 o'clock), and it should be steamed for an hour at a time, and then it will be dried.
It is said that this is to inhale yang energy into the sesame seeds, and when they are all dry, they are steamed in the basket, which also needs to be steamed for an hour.
And so on nine times.
Then fry it in the pot and dry it, finely grind it with graphite, and only the black sesame seeds that have been "steamed and dried nine times" will become a smooth and oily fine powder when grinding, instead of turning into sesame paste like ordinary fried sesame seeds.
And then there is honey refining.
It is to boil the honey over high heat first, then change it to low heat, and slowly boil it into honey that "drips into beads", which is to refine the impurities in the honey, the water is also refined, and in modern terms, bacteria and microorganisms are also refined.
The so-called dripping water into beads, that is, in the process of refining honey, when you see the honey foaming on the surface, you will dip a drop in the honey with bamboo chopsticks, and then drop it into a bowl of cold water, and the honey will not disperse in the water, and it will sink to the bottom after condensing into beads, which is "dripping into beads".
This process is the same as when making Chinese medicine honey pills.
Then the ground black sesame powder is fully mixed with the refined honey, and it is necessary to beat it hundreds of times again and again until the two are fully mixed, and then it is kneaded into balls.
Just a few small balls, she made it for three days.
When it's done, wrap it in oiled paper one by one.
When Yan Baiwei came over, she had already wrapped half of it, and Yan Baiwei asked with her hands behind her back: "Is this elixir delicious?" ”
She casually stuffed one in his mouth: "Do you taste it?" ”
He browled his eyebrows and nodded, "Hmm." ”
When there was something in his mouth, he did not speak, but compared it with his hand.
Tang Shijin said: "It's done." ”
He went straight away and went to find Tao Chengqi.
This special version has made a total of 60 pills, one pill in the morning and one pill in the evening, and you can take it for 30 days.
In fact, healthy people don't need to eat for so long, generally speaking, eating for three to five days is enough.
Tang Shijin divided three cans into them, and then carefully dripped wax and sealed the bottles.
As for the ordinary ones, they were given points to each one.
Tao Chengqi, Yan Baiwei, Tang Shilei, including Xie Huaijin and his wife, each gave twenty, because they were worried that the old housekeeper was running around when he was old, he also called him over and quietly gave him twenty, the flower wolf also quietly gave him twenty, Luo Niangzi also quietly gave twenty, and the Zheng family of the He family forgot it.
In fact, family members like her and Yan Baiwei eat three or two meals every day, how to say, the body has been adjusted to the best, even if they eat a special version, it is estimated that there is no big reaction, just eat and play as a snack.
And like Xie Huaijin and his wife, who have never eaten it, even if they eat this ordinary version, they may feel that they are in a very good state, but it will not be so good that people can explore.
So it's still very safe.
Then she baked a pot of lotus paste cakes, and only made twenty-four pieces, and the effect was only about 30% of the sesame balls, and gave them to Tao Erlang by name.
Listen to the meaning of Tao Chengqi, and listen to the words of the old housekeeper, their family style is very upright, the relationship between the two rooms of the big house is good, and the cousins are even closer.
It's done here, and the people the old housekeeper said over there are also here.
Most of them came from one room to another, a total of four people came, and in addition, there were eight very capable nursing homes.
Tang Shijin is still the first time to face this kind of Dream of Red Mansions-style house slaves, and when he looks at them one by one, he feels pretty good, so it's easy to say, first he picked a family, a family of four, to take care of the spice garden, and then he picked another household, and when the time comes, he will take care of the medicine garden, and the others will be put first, where there is a need to move.
Then that night, Tao Chengqi wrote a letter and secretly sent the two nursing homes out.
A few days later, the two nurses arrived in the capital and quietly met Taoxiang.
Momo Xiang read the letter and was very surprised.
The letter clearly said that it was a black sesame pill, which was a very ordinary thing, but between the lines, it was very serious, as if this was an elixir, and if you eat it, you will rejuvenate it, and you must not let people know about it.
The peach phase is only thought to be some hidden words, and he has never figured it out after repeated speculation.
He asked, "What else did Rokuro say?" ”
This nursing home is nominally a nursing home, but in fact, it is the private guard of the Tao family, very capable, and said: "Liu Shao didn't say much, just asked us to wait here, until Xiang Ye and the others have served before leaving, and then before leaving, he said that he asked Xiang Ye to call a reliable doctor, and asked for the pulse one by one, and then handed over the pulse case to us to take away." In addition, the divine doctor Xi Qi lives there now, and he has to open a medicine garden in that place, and he is familiar with the six young and five mothers. ”
Tao Xiang was surprised: "Xi Qi? ”
And you want to take away the pulse case? Did he mean that after taking this sesame pill, the body would have an immediate effect, and after ten days, he would bring back the pulse case, and he might send this kind of thing over again according to the pulse case?
Tao Xiangchang took a breath: "Okay, you guys go to Erlang first." ”
The nurse then bowed and retreated.
Tao Xiang and his wife thought about it for a while, and wanted to ask the doctor to take a look, but they were afraid that there was some mystery in it, and they should not be outsiders.
In the end, Mrs. Peach said: "Why bother thinking about it, my Rokuro can still harm me?" ”
So she directly asked someone to send warm rice wine and took one pill.
Mrs. Tao is over fifty years old, and her health is not very good, who knows that if she goes down with a pill, she will sleep on the pillow at night, and when she wakes up in the morning, she only feels refreshed, and her head is always groggy and refreshed, and the whole person seems to be ten years younger.
Mrs. Tao looked complicated for a while, and whispered to Tao Xiang.
Tao Xiang instantly raised his vigilance, he went to see the old lady alone, and then called the second brother over.
A total of sixty grains were sent, twenty were left in each of the two rooms of the big house, and the other twenty were given to the old lady.
