Chapter 176: Porridge and Tea

In the early morning of the next day, Cao Zhijin and Zhu Xian went to the moon gate to pick up things.

Zhu Xian looked at the bulging cloth bag hanging on the wall and asked, "Why is there still a cloth bag?"

Cao Zhijin took out the contents of the cloth bag and explained to her, "Didn't it snow yesterday? I was afraid that the snow would cover the note I had put on the ground, so I hung a bag on the wall, and everything we needed to write on the paper could be put in this bag. ”

"Wen Jin, you're too smart!" Zhu Xian walked over and took the medicine bag in her hand and asked, "What's in here?" ”

Cao Zhijin flipped the small medicine bag in his hand, and then gestured to the two of them with his eyes and said in her hand: "This is a herbal seed for me, and you are a medicinal herb for the master."

Zhu Xian asked curiously, "Is the master's illness curable?"

"Good cure!" Cao Zhijin nodded and said, "Just eat for therapy!" ”

"Diet?" Can't eat and still use diet therapy? Zhu Xian was puzzled.

Cao Zhijin returned to the kitchen and found the stove.

The stove is usually used to make soup, because the master can't even eat, so Zhu Xian didn't bother to do this, just made some simple vegetarian dishes every time and sent them over.

The stove had not been used for a long time, and it was covered with ash. Cao Zhijin used a broom to sweep the top clean, and then took out the jar and cleaned it.

Zhu Xian opened the paper bag and saw that there were three other small packets in the paper bag, one of which was larger, and the label on it said "sweet glutinous grass".

Zhu Xian took the paper bag to Cao Zhijin and asked, "Wen Jin, what is the sweet glutinous grass?"

Cao Zhijin had already made a basin of clean water, took out some sweet glutinous grass from the paper bag and put it into the water, and explained to her: "Sweet glutinous grass has the effect of eliminating food and nourishing the stomach, and it is best to eat it for the master at this time!"

Zhu Xian said worriedly: "I'm afraid you don't know, that master doesn't like to drink medicine!"

Cao Zhijin gave her a reassuring look and said, "Don't worry, I don't make medicine!"

Soon the sweet glutinous grass placed in the basin of water will stretch out, moist and shiny, no different from fresh grass blades.

Cao Zhijin plucked the leaves of the sweet glutinous grass, leaving only a small tuft at the top and put it in a bowl for later use, and then folded the stem of the sweet glutinous grass into two pieces and put it in a pot of boiling water to boil.

After a while, a sweet aroma wafted out of the jar.

Cao Zhijin took down the jar with a wet handkerchief, poured the boiled sweet glutinous grass juice into a large bowl, then poured out the residue in the jar, poured the sweet glutinous grass juice in the bowl into the jar, put in the washed white rice, added an appropriate amount of water, and covered the lid.

Cao Zhijin moved the small bench in the corner of the kitchen and sat in front of the stove, holding a fan in his hand, and with a few strokes, he could always control the fire to an appropriate size.

Zhu Xian watched her set of actions, and couldn't help but sigh and ask her, "Wen Jin, don't you really know how to cook?"

Cao Zhijin smiled: "I'm okay with cooking medicinal food, but I'm really not good at cooking!"

Isn't she doing a pretty good job? Zhu Xian shook her head with a smile, surprised by her selective cooking skills!

It was not early outside, and Zhu Xian was afraid that he would not have time to prepare breakfast for his master, so he asked Cao Zhijin: "What else do you have to do, I'll help you do it!"

Cao Zhijin fanned the fan in his hand and said, "No need, just make a porridge!"

Zhu Xian hesitated: "It's a master, it's not appropriate to just send a bowl of porridge over, right?"

Cao Zhijin stood up and handed her the fan and said, "Help me watch the fire, it's almost there!" Of course, there is more than one porridge, I have to make something. ”

"What?" Zhu Xian asked.

Cao Zhijin opened the other two paper bags, took a bowl and put it on the table, and asked Zhu Xian, "Is there boiling hot water in the pot?"

Zhu Xian looked at the fire in the stove and said: "The fire in the stove has not been extinguished, and it is in the back pot!"

Cao Zhijin nodded, grabbed a handful of Four Seasons Flowers and Sweet Grass Foam from the two paper bags at the same time with both hands, raised his hand and sprinkled some of them seemingly casually on the bowl, and then returned the excess medicinal herbs in his hand to their places.

She rested the bowl on the stovetop, lifted the lid, and the wooden scoop scooped half a scoop of water from the pot and poured it into the bowl.

I saw the petals and powder in the bowl spinning rapidly, and a steaming and refreshing aroma instantly filled the kitchen.

Zhu Xian sniffed and exclaimed, "It's so fragrant!"

"It's Awakening Tea!" Cao Zhijin explained.

Zhu Xian looked at the awakening tea and still hesitated: "Only a bowl of porridge and a bowl of tea, it's still a little inappropriate, right?"

"It's okay." Cao Zhijin glanced at the stove and said to her, "It's almost, you lift the lid and take a look!" ”

Zhu Xian lifted the lid, and a sweet smell suddenly rushed to his face, which made people feel relaxed for a while.

I saw that the white rice porridge in the jar was full and shiny, like a white cloud in the sky being twisted into small balls and kneaded into the jar.

Just by looking at it, Zhu Xian felt that his mouth was full of words and his stomach was warm!

Only then did she realize that Wen Jin's porridge was definitely not cooked with ordinary porridge!

Cao Zhijin took the jar, Zhu Xian put out the fire, followed her to the table, and watched her scoop the porridge from the jar into the bowl.

She was about to go to get the food box, but Cao Zhijin stopped her and said, "I'll go, this is for you!"

Cao Zhijin put the jar back on the stove, and Zhu Xian looked inside, and there was even half a jar.

She said in a panic: "This is for the master, how can I eat it as a slave?"

Cao Zhijin smiled: "This thing is not unusual, it will be good for you if you eat it, if you like to eat it, I can make it for you every day in the future!"

"Really, then you're welcome!" Zhu Xian happily went to fetch the bowl and spoon.

Cao Zhijin put the two bowls into the food box, and the cotton cloth wrapped the food box tightly before going out.

The weather is so nice today, the sun is shining on the snow and refracting golden light, even a little dazzling.

Cao Zhijin knocked on the door and waited for two breaths before pushing the door and walking in.

Sure enough, she was still sitting in that old position.

Cao Zhijin opened the food box, and the aroma of porridge instantly attracted Yuzhuang's attention.

"This is white rice porridge?" She took one look and was surprised.

But the feeling told her that this was very different from the white rice porridge she used to spit out when she smelled it.

She secretly touched her stomach, and she actually felt like she was mouthful and hungry!

"Back to the master, this is porridge made of sweet glutinous grass." Cao Zhijin took out the porridge and served it with both hands.

"Sweet glutinous grass?" Yuzhuang did not refuse, picked up the bowl and scooped a spoonful with a spoon, put it in his mouth, and the entrance was polarized and fragrant, which was simply wonderful!

She immediately scooped another large spoonful into her mouth.

"Back to the master......" Cao Zhijin replied respectfully, "Sweet glutinous grass is a herb, which has the effect of eliminating food and nourishing the stomach." The master wanted to vomit when he smelled the food before because of the result of long-term dietary imbalance, although this sweet glutinous grass is a medicinal material, but it is mild, and it is okay to eat more in the ingredients! ”

"You know herbs?" Yuzhuang's hand paused, and the spoon made a clear sound on the wall of the bowl.

"Slaves know a little!" Cao Zhijin replied modestly.

Yuzhuang shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's more than a little, right?"

She scooped another spoonful of porridge into her mouth, falling into a semi-distracted state.
