Xiangru came to the kitchen to get dinner, and by this time everyone's discussion had come to an end, so she did not know about the afternoon, and at that time she was in her room meditating on her embroidery patterns.

Sent the meal to Aunt Rong's room, at first Xiangru didn't notice Aunt Rong's abnormality, but after Aunt Rong sat down at the table, she only drank wine and didn't eat food, as if she was preoccupied.

"Auntie, isn't dinner appetizing?" Aunt Rong's strange performance made Xiangru seize the opportunity to be a caring little girl.

The chopsticks in Aunt Rong's hand knocked on the plate in front of her very indistinctly, "No wonder Aunt Xiao has no appetite, such a dish, I have eaten it for decades, and the master taught me to make such a dish when I was a little palace maid, and until today, the tricks have not changed at all." ”

"Then ask the cooks to put some effort into making some new dishes, and everyone can follow suit."

"Joke, it's so easy to make a new dish, you think it's you who make porridge? Any ingredient can be thrown into the pot and boiled. ”

"Auntie, even if you cook porridge, you have to pay attention to the compatibility of ingredients, in case you get the ingredients that are mutually restrictive, the cooked porridge may be uncomfortable after eating."

"Well, you know the truth, how can the cook not know? But Aunt Xiao's illness has changed her taste, and even I don't know what she likes to eat now. ”

"Auntie, you also know that food supplements are better than medicine supplements, if you want to compete with Aunt Fang, you have to know what Aunt Xiao really needs, and it is useless to blindly please."

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that you have to know the reason why Aunt Xiao has no appetite before you can arrange the right meal."

"The reason why Aunt Xiao has no appetite is because of her spleen and stomach disorders, she had diarrhea when she ate mung bean porridge last time, and now she is making sexually warm food in the kitchen every day, is this not enough for the symptoms?"

"I heard that Aunt Xiao was diagnosed with overwork, and she is getting older, she may have problems with her five organs, and a bad spleen and stomach directly reflect on her appetite. It's just that I think, isn't this kind of supplement a bit too hasty now? ”

"Aunt Xiao's spleen and stomach are cold, and the doctor explained that she is not allowed to eat cold food, so I will give her warm and hot food, what's wrong?"

"That's right, but Aunt Xiao is a patient after all, and she eats the same food every day, will it backfire because the diet is too monotonous? Is it better to slow down and make up for it first? ”

"Today, that slut actually got a tonic from the pharmacy of Tai Hospital, Aunt Xiao talked and laughed with her all afternoon, I didn't drink a sip of the soup I took, you told me to take a break? How? What to take? How can I have time to delay? The more Aunt Rong spoke, the more angry she became, and she knocked the table with a wine glass to vent the pressure and dissatisfaction in her heart.

"Aunt Fang actually has this way? She's really good. Auntie, don't be too anxious, you calm down first, listen to me, even if Aunt Fang has great powers, but the medicinal materials in the pharmacy of the Tai Hospital are all divided into identity levels, I don't think that Aunt Fang can skip the level and get the top-grade medicinal materials above, at best, it would be good to get some medicinal materials used by the fifth-grade Jieyu. ”

"Isn't that good enough? Don't look at the five grades and the five grades, although there is only half a level difference, but this half level is the identity, and the talented people from the five grades will get medicine from the pharmacy of the female medical hall when they are sick. ”

"Auntie, don't be anxious, our pharmacy doesn't have good medicinal materials, but the kitchen does, our kitchen has good medicinal materials that are not inferior to the pharmacy of Tai Hospital."

"What, what herbs? How did I never know? ”

"That's because this herb is too common and common, and it's easy for people to ignore it, but it's really high-grade."

"Come on, don't fish my appetite."

Xiangru covered her mouth and chuckled, bending her eyes, "Auntie, it's rice soup, the nourishing power of rice soup is not weak to ginseng soup, and the folk have always used rice soup to nourish the body of frail mothers and the elderly." Because the rice soup nourishes yin power and treats gastrointestinal disorders, it is eaten for 100 days in a row, and it is guaranteed to be white and fat. Even if Aunt Fang gets high-grade ginseng, will she definitely be able to have such a medicinal effect, and how much financial resources does it take for a person to eat ginseng for 100 days in a row? ”

"......" Aunt Rong definitely didn't expect this kind of answer, and she was stunned for a while.

"Xiangru, you didn't deceive me?"

"Auntie, how dare Xiangru deceive you? Rice soup raises people, it's not that you don't know this, it's just that you are anxious about Aunt Xiao's illness and forget about it for a while. ”

"Hahahahaha......!" Aunt Rong finally clapped her hands and laughed, "Yes, rice soup!" There is rice soup in the kitchen! ”

"Rice soup strengthens the spleen and invigorates the stomach and invigorates the stomach, change Aunt Xiao's recipe, only eat white porridge for two meals in the morning and evening, boil out the thick rice soup first, let Aunt Xiao drink the rice soup and then eat the porridge, the porridge can be eaten as much as you want, and then drink a little rice soup before going to bed at night, so that it is conditioned for a few days, and then make mixed porridge for her when Aunt Xiao's appetite improves, as for lunch, it is still as usual."

"You think that works?"

"Auntie, Xiangru knows that time is tight now, and the pharmacy has outstanding advantages, we can't go head-to-head with them, the best way is to give full play to the strengths of the kitchen and impress Aunt Xiao with sincerity."

"Doesn't the tonic medicine from the pharmacy prove that their sincerity is even better?" Aunt Rong seems to have a bit of a broken jar.

"Auntie, you have been serving in front of Aunt Xiao every day these days, from her words, do you think Aunt Xiao likes to drink medicine every day?"

"Nonsense, who doesn't know that Aunt Xiao hates drinking medicine the most."

"That's it, auntie, let's give it a try, if not, let's think of something else."

"Okay, let's try it tomorrow." Aunt Rong was finally persuaded by Xiangru.

"Yes, Xiangru will tell Chef Jin when she goes back."

There was a seemingly bright solution to the troubled problem, and Aunt Rong's mood was temporarily relaxed, her appetite was restored, and she ate and drank a lot.

After serving her, Xiangru returned to the kitchen to convey Aunt Rong's latest instructions to Chef Jin, who had not yet left, and heard that she would start cooking white porridge and rice soup in the morning and evening tomorrow, Chef Jin was a little puzzled for a while, and she was skeptical that rice soup could fight against tonics, but since it was Aunt Rong's order, she did it to save herself trouble.

Early the next morning, Aunt Rong appeared in the kitchen again without saying hello, and ate breakfast by herself, and the white porridge boiled by Chef Jin next to her also became, first a cup of thick rice soup, another cup of white porridge, plus a few pickles and snacks, boxed together, and Aunt Rong personally delivered the meal.

When she came to Aunt Xiao's room, Aunt Fang had already taken the first step to say hello, and was talking to Aunt Xiao about the efficacy of those new tonics, and she praised them very much.

If it was left in the daytime yesterday, Aunt Rong would definitely not feel good when she heard it, but after Xiangru's explanation last night, Aunt Rong felt that this was nothing at all.

After greeting Aunt Xiao with a smile, Aunt Rong poured out the rice soup and sent it to Aunt Xiao's bedside, interrupting Aunt Fang's boasting by the way.

"Aunt Xiao, there are no good things in the kitchen, and your appetite has been bad, it's not a matter to watch you lose weight day by day, I specially boiled some rice soup for you today, can you drink it while it's hot?"

"Running out of food in the kitchen? What is the taste of rice soup that is not salty or light? Aunt Fang looked at the soup cup in Aunt Rong's hand with disdain.

"Aunt Fang's words are wrong, who doesn't know that the tonic power of rice soup is comparable to that of ginseng soup? Xiao Gu's body now has to be replenished slowly, eating a lot of warm food at the beginning is not good for the body, originally eating too much decoction will lose your appetite, first use rice soup to condition for a few days. Aunt Xiao, you can drink water, and after drinking rice soup, let's eat porridge. ”

"Warm food is what Doctor Xie said she wanted to eat, and Aunt Rong said to change it, have you asked Doctor Po if she has asked her?"

"Doctor Xie didn't say that she had to eat three meals a day like this, and lunch was still as usual, but the two meals in the morning and evening were slightly adjusted." Aunt Rong's words were clearly explained to Aunt Xiao.

"Okay, thank you for having a heart."

Aunt Xiao took the stubble at the right time, took the soup cup with both hands, and slowly sipped the rice soup little by little, the thick rice soup slowly went down the esophagus, and as soon as it entered the stomach, she immediately felt a lot more comfortable in the stomach, as if there was a hand massaging the stomach that had not worked normally for a long time with gentle and soothing force, so as to regain power.

"Oops, it's so good, I haven't drunk such a good rice soup for a long time, it's comfortable." Aunt Xiao drank half a cup in one go, licking the corners of her mouth.

"Rice soup is still delicious, right? If you like it, it's best, do you want to have some white porridge? It's so bad that you don't have to chew it at all, while it's hot and drink? ”

"Okay, come a little." Aunt Xiao handed the rice soup to Aunt Rong and waited for the white porridge expectantly.

When Aunt Rong took the soup cup and turned around, she threw Aunt Xiao with a smug look at Aunt Fang behind her back. Aunt Fang was sitting opposite Aunt Xiao, and it was not good to fight back immediately, so she had to keep her face peaceful.

Aunt Rong quickly brought a small half bowl of white porridge over, with four kinds of pickles, slightly stirred and cooled, while the stomach was now comfortable under the moisture of the rice soup, Aunt Xiao only used a little pickles, and drank this small half bowl of white porridge directly into the stomach.

"Xiang, it's been a long time since I've been so comfortable. It's still delicious white porridge, I wanted to eat more of those porridges before, but I always felt weird to eat in my mouth, and people were sick and troublesome, and eating nothing tasted right. ”

"Oh, Aunt Xiao, if you don't like that kind of porridge, you should have said it directly, I would have boiled white porridge for you a long time ago. Would you like to come a little more? ”

Aunt Xiao licked the corners of her mouth, thought about it or shook her head, "Isn't this afraid of causing trouble in the kitchen?" Enough is enough, now it is just right, and it is too much to be afraid and uncomfortable. ”

"Hey, that's good, eat porridge at night, eat half of the rice soup and leave half of it, sit with hot water, drink it before going to bed, the rice soup calms the nerves, sleeps well at night, and the illness is better when you rest well."

"Okay, you are in charge of everything, and my appetite will be handed over to you."

"Aunt Xiao, don't worry, I will make you get better quickly."

"Okay, I don't ask for too much, it's enough for me to get in the car on my own on the day I leave the palace."

"Aunt Xiao, don't be discouraged, you will definitely be able to return to your hometown well, your family is looking forward to your return."

"How can there be any family members, I'm afraid that there are only some juniors left who have never met, and they can't even enter the house after they go back, so they will be sent directly to the Huimin Bureau Health Care Home to help the government take care of the widows and loneliness." Xiao Gu was obviously depressed.

"How can it? Anyway, you are also the eldest aunt, I heard that the squires like the squires like you like to invite an old palace maid like you to go to the house to teach the young ladies who have not yet left the cabinet to teach their mothers. ”

"Ouch, Aunt Rong, your mouth is really good at talking, how can I have that ability, but I'm just an aunt in the medical hall, how can I teach my mother." Aunt Xiao was coaxed into laughter, and the low mood just now was swept away.

"How can the squires care about this, they only know that you are from the palace and are proficient in the rules of the palace, this is what they like, as long as you teach the ladies well, you will marry a good family in the future, and the red envelope will definitely be indispensable to you at that time." The more Aunt Rong talked, the happier she became.

"Having said that, but the rules of the palace, after the old palace maid leaves the palace, it is strictly forbidden to talk to outsiders about the affairs of the palace, I just want to teach my mother, and the government will not let me."

"Hey, Aunt Xiao, rules are dead, people are alive. Teach the ladies how to speak, how to walk, how to sit and lie down, how to eat, what does this have to do with the affairs of the palace? It's a big deal, you can just recommend yourself to be the mother of the grandfather's family. ”

"Hahahaha......" Aunt Xiao laughed again, "Aunt Rong, you have a good idea, with the county master staring at it every day, I definitely don't dare to make a mistake." ”

"It's not, as long as Aunt Xiao teaches her best, the county lord is grateful, and her reputation spreads, the squires will definitely flock here, and then everything will be happy by Aunt Xiao, I can't say that those squires will give generous gifts in order to slap you, Aunt Xiao just accepts it, and you are polite to them, your body is more important than anything." Aunt Fang, who didn't say much, finally seized the opportunity to speak, and followed Aunt Rong's words to make Aunt Xiao happy.

"Hehehe, your mouths are really sweeter than the other." Aunt Xiao was very happy.

"You deserve it, if you change to someone else, who will take care of it." Aunt Fang leaned over slightly, tucked the corner of the quilt for Aunt Xiao, and when she got up, she glanced at Aunt Rong with an ambiguous gaze, and said with a smile, "You said yes, right?" Aunt Rong? ”

"That is, this is something that only the aunt in charge can enjoy, every year there are more old people leaving the palace in the palace, how have you ever heard that those people have this qualification?" Aunt Rong echoed with a smile.

"So, Aunt Xiao must take good care of herself, and after drinking the medicine, just send a girl to tell me."

"How can this be done, it will cause you trouble." Aunt Xiao knew the rules of the palace and hurriedly excused herself.

"Hey, Aunt Xiao just rest assured, you have been in the palace for so many years, there is no merit and hard work, everyone knows, just a little tonic, my father-in-law will not be embarrassed, just take it as a consolation for your hard work, and spread it to add fame to my father-in-law."

"Is it really okay?"

"It's really no problem, Aunt Xiao just rest assured, I told my father-in-law, and my father-in-law knew, but I didn't tell you about it because I was afraid that you would accuse me of acting recklessly."

"It turns out that you have done everything, so I can drink this medicine much more relieved."

"Just put your heart in your stomach, don't worry about anything else, just give you an order, and I will do it for you."

"I know you're caring, okay, okay, let's get busy, don't surround me with an old woman. If you go back and let your father-in-law know that you are lazy, you will suffer. ”

"Hey, we'll leave first, and we'll see you in the afternoon." Aunt Rong and Aunt Fang said goodbye to Aunt Xiao in turn, and then Aunt Rong cleaned up the leftover breakfast with the help of Yu Gui, Aunt Fang was obviously fine, but she waited for Aunt Rong to clean up before leaving with her.

The two of them seemed to be intimate shoulder to shoulder, but as soon as they got out of Aunt Xiao's house, they immediately separated, one left and one right, at least two people in the middle, and when they came to the courtyard gate, they were also the ones who went up the steps first and who went out first, and the one who went out first strode away, and the one who went out later did not follow closely, just walked slowly, as if he was the only one along the way.

Aunt Rong returned to the kitchen, breakfast time was over, everyone in the kitchen moved the used tableware to the well to wait for cleaning, seeing Aunt Rong coming back, Chef Jin stepped forward to ask Aunt Xiao's opinion on breakfast, and got a good evaluation, and retreated with a smile on her face to deal with the leftovers.

Aunt Rong walked around the kitchen inside and out, checked her work, explained Aunt Xiao's lunch dishes, and added a lot of advice every day, even if she finished her morning work and went back to the house to rest.

The kitchen is full of old people, and there is no need for Aunt Rong to keep an eye on many things, so they naturally know how to do things.
