Chapter 30: The Anti-Hangover Artifact
The woman turned and reached out to open the cupboard above.
She took a bag from it and opened it, revealing it full of crimson leaves.
The leaves are dark red and long heart-shaped.
The woman pulled out one of the slices, kneaded them in the palm of her hand a few times, and then gathered the broken leaves and sprinkled them all on the noodles. After that, she smiled and said to Liang Yuan:
"Eat it, add this flavor, it tastes fragrant!"
Liang Yuan lowered his head and held the bowl of noodles in his hand.
He swallowed and gulped down......
Listening to Liang Yuan's story here, I can already roughly guess it.
The woman who made noodles for Liang Yuan in the middle of the night was the mysterious woman who lived in the cave of Dongshan - Xia Hong.
Thinking of this, I took out my mobile phone and showed the remade photo of Xia Hong to the two girls: "The woman who lives opposite you, isn't she?" ”
Seeing the photo on my phone, the two girl sons nodded.
"That's right, Boss Tang, do you know her?"
When I heard this, my heart sank.
After saying those words just now, Liang Yuan seemed to be very tired.
I saw large beads of sweat on his forehead, and the whole person leaned on the sofa cushion, panting heavily.
I glanced at him:
"Liang Yuan, are you hungry?"
He shook his head.
I asked again, "Did you eat today?" ”
He still shook his head.
I said, "What about eating?" I'll do it for you? ”
"Okay......"
I got up and went to the kitchen.
Deng Guihua and Wang Jia seemed to feel that something was wrong, so they also followed.
I searched around the kitchen and finally found a small bottle of vinegar.
Deng Guihua said: "I moved here to make sweet and sour pork ribs, and I used a little bit, and Su Quan had an accident the night before yesterday and ran to the kitchen and poured most of the bottles." ”
I asked, "Did he drink it all?" ”
"What the hell knows?" Deng Guihua shrugged: "Anyway, when we came in, there was only half a bottle left." ”
Opening the vinegar bottle, I took a deep breath at the mouth of the bottle.
Very strong vinegar aroma, this should be authentic old vinegar.
There are many types of vinegar in the market.
The most widely used is aged vinegar.
This thing has a long history and has a strong taste.
When cooking, add a little bit of the old taste to increase the freshness of the dish.
So every family has this thing.
Opening the refrigerator, I rummaged through it again and finally found a few leeks.
Hairy leeks are a type of wild vegetable.
Because the taste is similar to leeks, and the outer layer has a slight fine hair, it is called hairy leeks.
Because of its low price, this thing also saved the tables of many poor people many years ago.
But few people know.
This thing, in fact, has another function......
After boiling a pot of water, I poured all the remaining half of the bottle of vinegar into it, and then cut the leeks into words and threw them all in.
Deng Guihua asked me, "Boss Tang, what is this?" ”
After turning off the fire, I mysteriously said to her: "This is the exorcism soup, with something, there are no demons and monsters......"
"Exorcism soup? ……”
Deng Guihua and Wang Jia, the two girls heard it and felt very strange.
Time is tight, and the task is heavy.
I wasn't going to explain too much to them, so I walked towards the living room with the leek soup in hand.
Liang Yuan's appearance looked even more uncomfortable than just now.
I put the hairy leek soup on the coffee table.
Liang Yuan, who smelled the smell, immediately raised his eyes.
After only a short period of time, his whole person seemed to be a completely different person.
His face looked very pale as if he had been coated with a layer of flour.
Moreover, those eyes were deeply sunk in, as if they had rested for a long time, and the dark circles around the eye sockets seemed to have a thick layer of eye shadow.
He wrapped his hands around his body and huddled tightly on the sofa.
It doesn't look like a normal person.
It's like ...... Addicts on TV.
Seeing him turn like this, the two girls who followed me were completely overwhelmed.
Especially Wang Jia, she approached me: "Boss Tang, will Liang Yuan also become Su Quan?" ”
"Don't talk yet."
After saying that to her, I squatted down and brought the bowl of soup closer to Liang Yuan.
The smell of acetic acid came out of the leek soup, and the dark green leek flowers floating on it looked like duckweed floating on the water.
Liang Yuan also moved closer to the bowl of soup.
He leaned his nose against the bowl and sniffed it, and the pungent smell of acetic acid rushed to his body.
"It's ......"
Liang Yuan raised his eyes to look at me.
I noticed that after a while, his eyes had turned grayish-brown, and those eyes were still covered with a film, full of sick feelings.
"This is leek vinegar soup, tailor-made for you."
My tone was low.
When he spoke to him, he was also soft-spoken.
Obviously, the temperature in the house was not very low, but Liang Yuan seemed to be very cold.
He shuddered a few times.
He asked me again: "Tang Xiaofan, why is it so sour?" ”
"I added aged vinegar, of course sour."
"Aged vinegar?"
"Well, the more you store it, the more fragrant it is, it took a long time to brew it, and it is estimated that it is older than your age, and after drinking it, you will know what is going on?"
"Older than me?"
"That's right!"
Liang Yuan seemed a little incredulous.
I saw that in his smoky gray eyes, a pair of eyeballs were still rolling from side to side.
The bulging throat, as if something, was squeezing out of the throat.
"Autumn Moon Eclipse List" says:
Girls who die before the age of 18 will have a substance called "sulfur red" left in their bodies. This kind of thing will breed a kind of microorganism at a certain temperature and humidity.
This kind of thing, when it comes into contact with soil with suitable humidity during the full moon, will take root and sprout.
When it breaks through the ground, the branches and leaves of the plants grow deep red, and the leaves turn into long hearts.
This plant is called "moon red".
Its liquid meridians carry a unique element.
Mammals will die on the spot if they come into contact with this, and if they are in good condition, their cranial nerves will be paralyzed immediately and hallucinations will occur.
But this thing, because of the special growing conditions.
Very rare.
Just now, when Deng Guihua talked to Wang Jia about the crimson heart-shaped leaves, my mind suddenly remembered the "moon red" mentioned in "Autumn Moon Eclipse List".
"Moon Red", "Red Girl" ......
Both are very similar in appearance and name.
The food list also says: "Moon Red" has medicinal properties, in fact, it is similar to drinking a high degree of spirit.
Spirits hurt the internal organs.
It hurts the nervous system even more.
And the artifact of hangover is precisely aged vinegar!
