Chapter 44

Su Jiudong told the people in the small kitchen that they must strictly follow the prescription and the recipe for cooking, decoction and delivery on time, and then alternate these six dishes for Mrs. Lei to eat with the prescription for three meals a day.

After six days, I will come to Lei Mansion again to check on Mrs. Lei's situation, and adjust and increase or decrease the medicinal diet according to the effect.

Doctor Yan went back to Mrs. Lei's room to continue to ask for a pulse, and Su Jiudong told the servants in the house to keep Mrs. Lei healthy during the medication, eat less snacks, and avoid increasing the burden on the stomach.

After explaining the key points to pay attention to, Su Jiudong asked her to lead her to Wen Yiheng.

Wen Yiheng and Lei Jingyun Magnet were sitting in the main hall and were relatively speechless. Lei Jingyun felt that it was not a problem for the two of them to be so silent, so he beckoned his subordinates to come in and serve tea and melons and fruits.

"Master Heng, the weather is hot, do you want to eat a piece of watermelon to relieve the heat?"

Lei Jingyun served a slice of cut watermelon to Wen Yiheng's hand. The flesh of the watermelon is red and bright, and the fruit aroma is cool and refreshing.

"Thank you Lei Gongzi, it's still not necessary." Wen Yiheng's polite refusal, his eyes staring outside the house, not just in a daze but also in deep thought.

Lei Jingyun took back the watermelon, seeing that the watermelon was delicious and tempting, he wanted to eat it happily, but seeing that Wen Yiheng refused to eat it, he didn't dare to eat it first, and the two of them looked at each other in the main hall without saying a word.

After Wen Yiheng entered the lobby, he stopped talking after greeting a few words, and he didn't feel embarrassed, while Lei Jingyun was a little scared.

After Wen Yiheng didn't speak, Lei Jingyun tried every possible way to find another conversation, but he was afraid that Wen Yiheng would hastily deal with a few words and break off, and when his heart was entangled, the subordinates here took Su Jiudong to the main hall to find Wen Yiheng.

Su Jiudong reported the situation to Lei Jingyun, noticed the embarrassing atmosphere in the main hall, and slowly said: "Young Master Lei, I have already explained how to present the matter of medicinal food, and I will continue to wait and see after Mrs. Lei eats it."

I will come back to Fuchu in six days. There will be a lot of disturbance at that time, and please don't mind Master Lei and Lord Lei. ”

"Are you two leaving? Why don't you stay in the house and have lunch before leaving? The two of them were in a hurry in the morning, and I don't know if they had breakfast.

Now that this kind of meal time, Jingyun also ordered people to prepare lunch, and there is no reason to let the guests go hungry. ”

Lei Jingyun was still so polite, and took Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng to the East Flower Hall for dinner.

Lunch is fully prepared, and the servants serve delicious dishes one after another. Grass sparrow, crispy suckling pig, beef with oyster sauce, braised snake soup, Dongjiang salt-baked chicken......

They are all Cantonese dishes that make people fresh and tender.

Wen Yiheng looked at the rich dishes that were on the table full of them, and leaned at Lei Jingyun, who was dressed in brocade and jade beside him, and was polite, a trace of light flashed in his eyes, and he passed in an instant, and his heart was full of thoughts.

The Lei family is a small seven-grade county official, with a monthly salary of seven stones and five buckets, and an annual salary of only ninety stones, so he can't afford this four-entry mansion and a table full of expensive dishes......

It can be seen that the Lei family sells a lot of oil and water for illicit salt, but after only two years as an official, he can afford to live in a garden mansion, eat delicious food comparable to the dishes of the imperial dining room, and wear silk brocade clothes.

Indeed, the clean-up of corruption should not be delayed any longer......

Since Su Jiudong crossed over, he has lived in the village with Liu Yunniang, and he has always eaten light and coarse, and he has never eaten such a fine dish again.

And thinking that this is still authentic ancient Chinese food, Su Jiudong looked at the dishes that made people's appetite move, and his heart was also ready to move.

Wen Yiheng saw Su Jiudong staring at the dishes intently, and knew that she was also hungry.

picked up a piece of mille-feuille cake roll on a piece of oily and smooth crispy suckling pig, dipped it in a little suckling pig sauce, and fed it to her mouth, as if she was often used to this intimate gesture, and came easily.

Lei Jingyun explained diligently: "Heng Gongzi still knows how to eat, so he first chose the crispy suckling pig with the most unique flavor.

This crispy suckling pig is one of the eight treasures of the Western Zhou Dynasty, under which the master of Lingnan was specially invited to cook, and the specially selected five catties of about five catties of milk live pig roasted, the skin is crispy and the meat is fragrant, and the mouth melts. Miss Su, please give it a try. ”

"Since Lei Gongzi strongly recommends it, then I might as well be respectful." Su Jiudong obediently opened his mouth and ate it.

In the mouth, the skin is crispy and fragrant, and the meat is tender and delicious. Su Jiudong took advantage of Lei Jingyun's inattention and licked the corners of his mouth, but Wen Yiheng captured this lovely moment.

Su Jiudong picked up a piece of chicken and put it in Wen Yiheng's bowl, and said with a playful expression, "You can also try this Dongjiang salt-baked chicken for me to see if it tastes good." ”

"The dishes carefully prepared by Lei Gongzi are naturally delicious." Wen Yiheng glanced at Lei Jingyun meaningfully, and ate the piece of chicken with rice.

A lunch was eaten up between the politeness of the three of them. The medicinal diet was also prepared, and lunch was also eaten, Wen Yiheng proposed that there were other things to be busy at home in the village, and it was inconvenient to stay longer, so he had to leave.

"Thank you Gongzi Heng and Miss Su. The two of them walked slowly. Six days later, Jingyun waited in the house for good news. Lei Jingyun sent the two outside the mansion and thanked Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng.

The day before yesterday, Lei Qinglai reported that Dr. Wen Yiheng took the initiative to ask for treatment for Mrs. Lei, and Lei Jingyun was secretly overjoyed in his heart.

This time, with the help of Su Jiudong, a good doctor, his mother's condition was treated, and their Lei family could also take advantage of the situation to catch Wen Yiheng, a master, and kill two birds with one stone.

Su Jiudong waved to Wen Yiheng, Wen Yiheng stepped forward with knowledge and interest, nodded goodbye to Lei Jingyun, and hurriedly left in the carriage prepared by Lei Jingyun.

When Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng returned to the village, it was close to evening. The sun is about to set, and the clouds are burning like fire.

The carriage of the Lei family drove swaggeringly through the main road of the village, and the villagers who returned from the fields were watching, wondering which dignitaries and nobles of this family had returned to the village to visit.

Su Xingping, the son of the Su family, was chopping wood in his yard when he heard the rumbling of horseshoe ruts, and looked up from a distance to see a canopy carriage driving over, quickly heading towards Su Jiudong's house.

"This carriage is going to Su Jiudong's house? Could it be that the elder brother of the second aunt came to the village? ”

Su Xingping thought of the Jinshi information that Wen Yiheng took the initiative to mention during the Qingming Festival, threw down the hoe and went into the house to greet his daughter Su Miaoling.

Immediately, he rushed in the direction of the Su family's ancestral house, eager to inform Su Dayou and the Li family of this "important" news.

The master of the non-commissioned officer actually came to the village! Of course, the Su family must seize the opportunity to come forward and interact!

The so-called once born and twice matured, even if you can't talk to Master Jinshi for the first time, showing your face can leave a general impression in Master Jinshi's heart, and it won't be so strange to meet again in the future.

The two-legged man can't outrun the four-legged horse, Su Xingping hasn't been able to reach the Su family's ancestral house, and the Lei family's carriage has already sent Su Jiudong and Erjiehong back to their homes, and then left with a bang.

Su Tingan happily rushed out of the house and crashed into Su Jiudong's arms, kissed Su Jiudong sweetly, and Wen Yiheng hugged the two into the courtyard.

After a while, the food was fragrant, and the family was about to eat dinner, when there was an urgent sound of horses' hooves outside the door.

The courtyard door was slammed open, and Lei Jingyun's bodyguard, Lei Qing, anxiously asked Su Jiudong to go to Lei Mansion.

"Miss Su, our wife has diarrhea and abdominal pain after taking the medicinal diet, Lord Lei asks you and Master Heng to come over immediately."

Su Jiudong was surprised, his brain was spinning rapidly, and he thought about all the prescriptions and medicinal food preparations, there was no configuration of mutual restraint, how could Mrs. Lei have diarrhea and abdominal pain after taking it?

The three of them anxiously rushed to the county seat Lei Mansion.

Old Madam Lei was lying on the bed, her face was pale and haggard, covering her stomach and moaning helplessly, and Dr. Yan was on the side to call for Mrs. Lei.

"Master Heng, Miss Su...... My mother started diarrhea and abdominal pain after eating the medicinal diet you had prepared.

Jing Yun dared to ask if there was something wrong with your prescription or diet?

Otherwise, why is my mother still safe and sound after taking medicine in the morning, but there is a problem after eating the medicinal diet in the afternoon? Lei Jingyun was in an anxious mood, and his tone was more impulsive.

Su Jiudong thought about it in every way on the way, today's prescriptions and medicinal diets were made in strict accordance with the recipe under her supervision.

And everyone else in the kitchenette had eaten it and was unharmed, so there was nothing wrong with the prescription and the medicinal diet.

I'm afraid that Mrs. Lei also ate other foods after eating the medicinal diet. The two ingredients clashed with each other, so it caused Mrs. Lei to have abdominal pain.

"Did your wife eat anything else after eating the medicinal diet in the afternoon?"

Su Jiudong asked a maid who looked calm and reliable beside the bed, "You have to think carefully, don't make any mistakes or omissions, and tell what you eat and drink one by one." ”

The maid who was questioned was the eldest maid Xijuan next to Mrs. Lei.

She tried to recall the scene in the afternoon: "At noon, the old lady wanted to take a nap after eating mutton soup and barley porridge, when Gongzi Jingyun sent someone to bring the old lady watermelon to cool off, and the old lady ate the watermelon before falling asleep.

When she woke up, the old lady felt dry in her mouth and wanted to eat sour plums. A little later, the old lady drank a small bowl of sour plum soup and ate a little almonds, and soon after she began to have abdominal pain and diarrhea...... Nothing else. ”

"I see, so ......" Su Jiudong breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a helpless smile: "Old Madam Lei ate mutton soup at noon, and mutton and watermelon cannot be eaten together.

Mutton is hot and belongs to the warm and replenishing ingredients; Watermelon is a cool fruit, and eating the two together will hurt the vitality.

Watermelon will directly offset the warming effect of mutton, and it will also hinder the spleen and stomach, so Mrs. Lei will have diarrhea and abdominal pain. ”

"I didn't expect that there was a problem with the watermelon I sent......," Lei Jingyun suddenly realized. Doctor Yan nodded in agreement after listening. The next person came in to deliver the boiled painkiller soup, and Lei Jingyun carefully fed Mrs. Lei to take it.

"It's just that I was negligent at the time, I didn't take into account the habit of eating watermelon to relieve the heat on dog days, and I didn't remember to explain to you the attributes of the ingredients that avoid conflicting, so the old lady suffered this crime......"

Su Jiudong was helpless and embarrassed. At that time, the medicinal diet was ready, and she was in a hurry to send the ingredients to Mrs. Lei to eat, but she forgot to tell the most important point.
