Over there, Song Er was cutting a piece of pork loin into thin slices, she had good knife skills and steady hands, and each slice of pork was so thick and just right.

Song Lingyue adjusted the water starch, first coated the slices of pork with dry starch, then dipped in egg liquid and water starch, and finally slipped the slices into the hot oil pan until all the meat slices were fried and fried, curled and crispy.

Quickly take out the dry fried meat slices and start another pot, without Song Lingyue telling Song Yi to hand the prepared sweet and sour sauce to Song Lingyue, and the sauce immediately burst out with a rich sweet and sour taste when it encountered the hot pot gas.

Song Lingyue quickly put the plate of dry fried meat slices into it, and the frying spoon quickly stirred in the pot, and those crispy meat slices were instantly filled with amber juice, and the aroma was compelling.

Finally, let Song Er decorate it with shredded green onions, and then you can serve it out.

stewed the red braised pork ribs that Song Yanzhi designated to eat, and Song Lingyue wiped the sweat on her forehead, so that she had the time to breathe.

"Miss, the stove is too hot, leave the rest to us." Song Yi helped Song Lingyue to the outside of the kitchen, poured her another glass of warm water, and didn't allow her to go to the kitchen again.

Thinking that the rest of the dishes were all vegetarian dishes, Song Lingyue didn't insist, but just directed Song Yi and them to cook outside.

Song Yi and Song Er are both girls with quick hands and feet, and the two stoves started work together, but they were much faster than Song Lingyue.

Song Yanyi, who hadn't eaten pot-wrapped meat for a long time, saw the large plate of pot-wrapped meat on the table, and his whole eyes began to glow, his Adam's apple rolled, and his saliva flowed.

But Song Yanzhi's upbringing is still very good, and Song Lingyue teaches him every day, although he is very greedy, he can also straighten his back and sit obediently at the dining table and wait for the adults to arrive before eating.

Waiting for everyone to raise their chopsticks, Song Yanzhi couldn't wait to pick up a chopstick pot to wrap meat, but he didn't put it in his own bowl but put it into Song Lingyue's bowl, "Sister has worked hard, sister will eat first." ”

Seeing that although he was young, he knew how to love his sister, and couldn't help but praise him for being sensible and obedient, which made Song Yanzhi's little face redden.

"But what's the one in the middle wrapped in lotus leaves?" Aunt Li poked the lotus leaf mark in the middle of the table with chopsticks, and asked Song Lingyue curiously.

Song Lingyue winked at Aunt Li and said with a smile: "This is the medicinal diet I researched. The chicken is warm in nature, and it is paired with a lot of warm and tonic Chinese herbal medicines, which is very suitable for patients who are recovering from serious illnesses and who are weak and short of breath. ”

"It's funny." Gu Langzhong was also interested, and hurriedly asked Song Lingyue to take out her medicinal food for everyone to taste.

When Song Lingyue said that she wanted to make medicinal food, Gu Langzhong was stunned, and later when he asked, he learned that there was no such thing as medicinal food in Great Xia, and no one thought of cooking medicinal herbs and food together.

In addition, most of the original taste of medicinal materials is bitter and difficult to swallow, and cooking with ingredients will inevitably affect the taste.

Song Lingyue felt that this was a new business opportunity! As the old saying goes, medicine is poisonous, medicine is not as good as food, this medicinal diet is more suitable for frail people than tonic, and medicine and food are homologous, the body is easier to absorb, it can be described as the best of both worlds.

Song Lingyue stood up with a smile and opened the lotus leaf little by little-

As the lotus leaves are peeled off layer by layer, the tender yellow chicks are exposed.

The lotus leaf chicken had just been served, and as soon as the lotus leaf was opened, the mist inside steamed out.

The smell of meat that accompanied the mist was mixed with a faint smell of traditional Chinese medicine, but it smelled unexpectedly good, seducing everyone's appetite.

The chicken was originally very small, about two catties, and it was steamed for a long time, but Song Lingyue just tore it lightly, and the chicken leg bone easily came out of the chicken.

But the chicken is not firewood at all, it is moist and tender, and you can almost see it from the chicken. Chicken juice seeping through the cracks.

It's still a bit hot to tear it with bare hands like this, Qi Mo took the scissors intimately, and didn't forget to tell Song Lingyue: "I washed it and roasted it on the stove for a while before I got it, it's clean." ”

Song Lingyue smiled, Qi Mo really understood her.

The scissors are often used to be very sharp, and it is no longer a problem to cut the brittle bones, but now they are only used to debone the chicken that has been steamed and separated from the flesh and bones, and it has a kind of overkill.

Song Lingyue learned dissection when she was in school, and the scissors hand easily removed the bones of the chicken, but the bones on the two chicken wings were not removed by her.

Song Lingyue always felt that if there were no bones in the chicken wings, there would be less taste.

Finally, the chicken belly was dissected, and the stuffed Chinese herbs inside were also leaked out along with the gravy, and the unique fragrance of the Chinese medicine mixed with the fresh fragrance of the chicken, mixed together, bloomed a completely different rich charm.

Song Yanzhi, who was originally stuffed with a mouthful of pot-wrapped meat, smelled the fragrance, and even forgot to swallow the pot-wrapped meat in his mouth, and only looked at the tender and fragrant chicken that was steamed in the middle.

"Okay, let's try it, the medicinal steamed chicken I researched!" Song Lingyue made a gesture of please, and took the five-spiced chili powder that had been prepared a long time ago and put it into the empty dish, "If the taste is not enough, you can eat it with the five-spice chili powder." ”

Gu Lang was the first to react, and he was not polite to everyone, added a chicken breast with chopsticks, and ate it in small bites.

Gu Langzhong is now older, his teeth are not as good as in previous years, and he has a little trouble eating.

I thought that the chicken breast would be astringent when eaten in the mouth, but today the chicken breast is like being soaked in soup, the skin is smooth and the meat is tender, and the deliciousness makes him want to swallow his tongue.

The chicken fibers have a faint medicinal aroma, slightly bitter, but they make the luscious mellow of the chicken more vivid, and it is even more flavorful than ordinary boiled chicken soup.

Gu Langzhong shook his head and shook his head, and his expression was a satisfaction.

Seeing him like this, how could everyone at the table still bear it, you have a chopstick and I have a chopstick, but in about ten minutes, the two catties of chickens have been carved up.

Song Yanzhi was quick and first sandwiched the two chicken wings into his bowl, which was his favorite part, and no one would grab it from him.

It's a pity that Xiangling's hand is a step slower, and there is only a piece of chicken breast in the bowl.

Song Yanzhi looked at the chicken wings in his bowl, and then at the chicken breast in Xiangling's bowl, his little eyebrows wrinkled, and finally endured his distress and gave his chicken wings to Xiangling.

Xiangling was polite and gave her chicken breast to Song Yanzhi.

Song Yanzhi hates eating chicken breast the most, there are no bones, the meat is dry and chewy, and sometimes he stuffs his teeth, which makes him uncomfortable.

But with so many people staring, Song Yanzhi couldn't put the chicken breast back, so he could only pick it up and put it in his mouth with a generous and righteous look.

After chewing it, Song Yanzhi's eyes widened, the taste of this chicken was so different from what he had eaten before, it was much more delicious. The juice is fragrant, and even the chicken breast he hates the most is so delicious.

Qi Mo put down his chopsticks, carefully reminisced about the deliciousness of the chicken just now, and couldn't help but say:

"This taste is really good, there is a faint taste of Chinese medicine, a little bitterness, but it brings the sweetness of the chicken itself, the best thing is this lotus leaf, eat to the end, the aftertaste in the mouth is long, it is really good."

"You've had a lot of work." Gu Langzhong stretched out his chopsticks and divided the chicken breast into two, revealing that the chicken belly was full of medicinal herbs, "Codonopsis, astragalus, licorice, and red dates and wolfberries are also matched, so that the medicinal taste will not be too bitter, and the warming effect of this chicken complements each other, compared to the boiled chicken soup, this chicken has really become a medicine, no wonder you want to call it medicinal food." ”

Gu Langzhong's face showed a look of sudden realization.

Song Lingyue just smiled slightly:

"This chicken is carefully steamed and cooked together with medicinal herbs, which not only allows the effects of the herbs to invade the chicken, but also maximizes the warming effect of the chicken. And the food is always better than those bitter medicinal soups, and the patients will be more receptive. ”

Song Yi covered her mouth and snickered again: "The reason why the slave and maid saw that the young lady was able to invent such a strange medicinal diet was not because she was afraid of taking bitter medicine, right?" This medicinal diet absorbs the essence of medicinal herbs, tastes juicy and tender, and there is no pain of taking bitter medicine at all! ”

Everyone felt that Song Yi's words were reasonable, and they all looked at Song Lingyue and smiled.

Song Lingyue coughed twice, deliberately pretending not to hear, and said:

In fact, this medicinal diet is not unusual at all, and even the food we often eat has an introduction to medicinal diet.

If you think about it, many of the ingredients we eat are themselves medicinal herbs.

For example, onions, ginger and garlic dispel dampness and strengthen the spleen, and then hawthorn appetizing and digesting, or mung bean porridge to clear heat and fire, these themselves are the same source of medicine and food. ”

Song Lingyue casually cited a few common examples, and everyone hurriedly recalled them carefully, as if this was indeed the case.

When you can't eat in the summer, you will feel appetizing when you eat some sweet and sour fruits, and you will want to eat some mung bean soup when the heat is strong.

In winter, I like to use a lot of green onions, ginger and garlic to boil pork bone soup to make soup pots, and everyone sweats all over their bodies after eating, and their bodies are warm, as if winter is not so difficult.

Song Lingyue smiled slightly, and said:

"Our body is actually very smart, it knows what we are lacking.

Every time we really want to eat something, it's actually a signal from our body that our body is missing the nutrients it brings us.

In fact, medicinal diet is to superimpose the efficacy of medicinal herbs and food to play a complementary role. ”

Gu Langzhong smiled, he had lived for such a long time, he was like a person, and with a roll of his eyes, he guessed Song Lingyue's plan:

"I don't think you want to promote this medicinal diet in Jizhou Mansion next, right? Why, do you still want to turn Boryeongtang into a canteen? ”
