Chapter 211: I Heard, The Meals You Make Can Heal Diseases?
After thinking about it for a while, he didn't come up with a clue, Jiang Yu didn't bother to guess, and directly connected the phone.
"Hey, hello! I'm Jiang Yu. â
"Ah, hello Xiaojiang! I'm Liu Xining, you, do you remember? We met at the orientation party last year. â
On the other end of the phone, Liu Xining's tone seemed a little nervous, probably she rarely dealt with a boy she didn't know very well.
How embarrassing would it be if the other party didn't know him?
"Of course I remember, Senior Sister Liu!"
Jiang Yu smiled and continued, "When I watched the news two days ago, I also saw that it said that Senior Sister Liu's new song had triggered a sales boom. â
"Are you talking about the song "Eight Treasures and Jade Food"?"
Probably seeing that Jiang Yu hadn't forgotten herself, Liu Xining seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and even her tone of voice became relaxed, she said with a smile,
"This song is based on Dong Jieyuan's "The Legend of the West Chamber", but in fact, it was inspired after eating a delicious meal at your place."
"Really?"
Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows, but he was a little surprised, he laughed and said, "Then when I am free, I have to download it and listen to it." â
Liu Xining said: "Why is it so troublesome, if you want to hear it, I will send it to you on my mobile phone in a while." â
The two of them exchanged a few words, and basically there was nothing to say, after all, they had only met once, and they were not familiar with each other, so where did they have so much to say?
Seeing that Liu Xining was not able to speak, Jiang Yu didn't plan to go around in circles, he was still hungry, so he asked directly:
"Senior Sister Liu just released a new song, she should be very busy, right? Why do you have time to remember to call me? â
"Uh, Xiao Jiang, I, I have something I want to ask you."
Being asked by Jiang Yu like this, Liu Xining stopped hiding it, she took a deep breath and asked carefully,
"Xiao Jiang, I've heard people say before that the food you cook can cure people's diseases, is this true?"
"Huh? Will the meals I cook heal? â
After Jiang Yu heard such outrageous words, he almost laughed out loud, who spread this rumor?
If good food can cure diseases, then why do so many hospitals and pharmaceutical companies do it?
However, Jiang Yu couldn't hold back a smile in the end, because he knew that if Liu Xining could ask like this, there must be someone she cared about who was sick.
And eighty percent of this disease is quite troublesome, otherwise, she would not be like now, quite a bit of a rush to the doctor.
Jiang Yu thought for a moment, and then said quite cautiously,
"Senior Sister Liu, most of the rumors you heard are not credible, even I don't know that the food I cook can cure diseases.
Although there has been a saying since ancient times that 'medicine and food are of the same origin', most of the dishes I make use of ordinary ingredients, and I have not learned anything about traditional Chinese medicine, so I don't know how to make medicinal food at all, and I only pursue the deliciousness of food.
So, to say that the food I cook can cure the sick is simply nonsense. â
"It's a rumor?"
On the other end of the phone, Liu Xining seemed to be disappointed when she heard Jiang Yu say this, but she was still a little reluctant and asked,
"But I swiped a video on the Internet before, in which there was a little girl in the seven canteens who said that her good friend has anorexia and can't eat other people's food, but she can eat a lot of what you cook every time......
This, this is also fake? â
"Uh, this, this seems to be real."
Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, and instantly felt a little embarrassed, quite a bit of the feeling of lying being exposed in person, and he quickly explained,
"It's just an example, and to be honest, I didn't expect my own food to have this effect."
Hearing Liu Xining talk about this, Jiang Yu was also a little speechless.
What Yan Tongtong inadvertently said to the live broadcast Internet celebrity seems to have been noticed by many people after the live broadcast on the Internet.
One was Liu Shurong from Qiantang before, and now it is Liu Xining, who will be next?
Yan Tongtong: I'm just telling the truth, do you blame me? (?īš?)
"In that case, maybe the food you cook does have healing effects, but you don't know it."
Liu Xining breathed a sigh of relief, as if he saw hope again, and said in an excited tone,
"In that case, you can give it a try, even if it doesn't work, at least it won't make the situation worse."
"Uh, Senior Sister Liu, can I ask what's going on?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yuyi's mind was confused, and he still didn't know what the situation was.
"Ah, this ......" Liu Xining hesitated.
"Oh, sorry, I shouldn't have asked."
As soon as Jiang Yu heard it, he knew that he had said the wrong thing.
The other party is a big star in the entertainment industry, and those people around her must be in the entertainment industry, either singers or movie stars, once you tell yourself which star has something terrible, and as a result, you accidentally leak the news, wouldn't it be bad for others?
ã
He didn't want to get into trouble because of curiosity, so he hurriedly said,
"Senior Sister Liu, you don't need to tell me if it's inconvenient, I don't have that much curiosity."
"It's okay, I'm still thinking of asking you to help, you'll know about it sooner or later."
Liu Xining pondered for a while, but still opened his mouth, "Pan Jingchen, have you heard of it?" â
"You mean, the actress of the heroine of the recently hit TV series "Three Lives Lucky"?"
Although Jiang Yu doesn't pay much attention to the trends in the entertainment industry, Hu Zhihai and Lu Shuwu are quite concerned about gossip in this regard, and they often talk about these things in the kitchen.
Pan Jingchen is one or two years older than Liu Xining, and he debuted a little earlier, he was also a singer when he first debuted.
Who knows that although Pan Jingchen is not from an actor class, he is quite talented, and his acting skills are much stronger than some small fresh meat, and he gradually gained a firm foothold in the entertainment industry.
Speaking of which, although her influence in the entertainment industry is a little worse than that of Liu Xining, who focuses on singing, she can definitely be regarded as a first-line star.
The problem now is that the TV series "Three Lives Lucky" starring Pan Jingchen is still on the air, and she herself is actually sick, and it seems to be quite troublesome?
This aroused Jiang Yu's interest.
"Well, it's her, Chenchen and I are very good friends, and it can also be said to be best friends."
Liu Xining sighed lightly on the phone, and then said,
"Although you are not in the entertainment industry, you should have heard more or less that the pressure in the entertainment industry is very high, and Chenchen's family background has not been very good since he was a child, so after he debuted as a singer, he will continue to develop in the entertainment industry.
She not only has to sing irregularly, but also filmed non-stop, often without a few days off throughout the year, and the pressure is many times greater than that of me as a singer.
When I had a party with her last year, I found that something was wrong with her, the whole person seemed to have lost her energy, sullen, I thought she was too tired from filming, and just told her to rest more.
As a result, some time ago, I heard the news that Chenchen suffered from depression, and it was quite serious, and he often locked himself in the room alone, and he didn't care about others, so he hid in it and cried secretly.
I went to her house two days ago to look for her, and her whole person seemed to have changed, and she didn't respond to anything I said, as if she had closed herself off, and she was like this, I was really scared of her......"
As he spoke, Liu Xining couldn't help choking up on the phone.
"Uh, senior sister, don't worry too much, can't depression be relieved by taking medicine?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yu didn't know how to comfort Liu Xining, so he had to say,
"As long as she takes medicine on time, does some psychological counseling, and then helps her relieve psychological pressure, she should slowly get better.
Aren't there many celebrities in the entertainment industry who suffer from depression and finally come out by their own efforts? â
But Jiang Yu actually knows that there are more stars in the entertainment industry who suffer from depression, and in the end, they can't stand the torture and cut themselves off.
But he didn't dare to say this kind of thing, otherwise, he didn't know what Liu Xining would cry like!
"I'm sorry, I was so excited."
Liu Xining deserves to be a big star who has seen big scenes, and she quickly adjusted, she took a few deep breaths, and then said,
"The problem now is not these, what I'm worried about is that Chenchen himself doesn't want to come out."
Probably knowing that Jiang Yu couldn't understand, she explained,
"There are some things I can't tell you, but Chenchen is actually quite pitiful, her mother died early, and her father is a bad gambler, not only does he not care about him, but he will beat her every time he loses money outside.
Since she was a child, she has never met anyone who is good to her, she is either used by others, or deceived by others, in fact, she has always been very bitter in her heart.
Probably it was these past experiences, coupled with the pressure at work, that finally caused her to suffer from depression, right?
Perhaps, she locked herself up because she didn't want to face those unbearable pasts? â
"Senior Sister Liu, I'm afraid you really have to find a professional to answer this question."
Jiang Yu smiled bitterly and said, "I'm just a cook, I know how to cook, but I really don't understand the affairs of patients." â
"Maybe you can try?"
Liu Xining didn't plan to give up, she said with hope in her tone,
"If a person has hope for the future, will she have more confidence in life?
The food you cook is absolutely delicious, really, I have never eaten anything so delicious before, even after half a year, I still miss it when I think about it.
Don't talk about me, Xie Siqi is even more, she has been asking me to take her to Jiang Daqi's canteen to find you several times, but I am too busy to go over.
If Chenchen is allowed to eat the food you cooked, will she be like me and Xie Siqi, thinking about eating it again every day?
Once she has a desire for this world and a thought, will it feel that this life is not as bad as she imagined?
Because, at least, there are still delicious foods you make in this world that are worth savoring! â
ââĻâĻâ
Hearing Liu Xining's increasingly excited voice on the phone, Jiang Yu was stunned, he was a cook, and he was hooked up with depression like this?
And it sounds like what Liu Xining said really makes a little sense.
Isn't it true that people with depression have lost hope and confidence in life?
If it can really rekindle their hope in life, then maybe it can really get them out of depression.
But the key point now is that, according to what Jiang Yu has learned, people with depression may lose their desire to eat, are not interested in the foods they used to like to eat, and do not even want to mention eating......
In this case, whether the food he cooked can still play a role, Jiang Yu has no confidence at all.
After calming down, Jiang Yu thought for a while before saying,
"Senior Sister Liu, I've heard that people with depression think on the same channel as ours, maybe you think so, but in her eyes, it may be different.
So, I don't know if what you're talking about will be useful. â
"I also know what you said, in the past few days, I have also checked a lot of relevant information, and at present, Chenchen at least has not reached the level of pessimistic and misanthropic severe depression."
Liu Xining couldn't help but sigh again and said,
"But if it goes on like this, no one knows what will happen in the end, so I want to give it a try, whether it works or not, how effective it is.
I just want to ask you now, Xiao Jiang, are you willing to help me? â
"If it's just to make something to eat, that's not a big problem, anyway, I'm going to open a canteen."
Jiang Yu didn't think there was any trouble in this matter, just cooking a few dishes was also a convenient thing, and it wouldn't delay him too much.
But there are other things he can't help.
"However, if the food I cook will have an effect on her condition, then I really can't guarantee it."
"It's good that you're willing to help, so how could I blame you?"
On the other side of the microphone, Liu Xining was obviously very happy, and she said gratefully,
"Xiao Jiang, don't worry, whether it has an effect or not, we won't let you work in vain.
Then let's say this first, in two days, when I'm done here, I'll take Chenchen to Jiangda to find you! â
As she spoke, she hesitated for a while, and finally whispered again,
"Xiao Jiang, I have to trouble you to keep this matter secret first, don't tell others.
Chenchen's current situation, if she is stimulated, I am afraid that she will not be able to bear it, and the consequences will ......"
Jiang Yu understood very well, and responded without thinking about it:
"Senior Sister Liu, don't worry, I definitely won't tell others."
Not to mention that he was not interested in gossip in the first place, not to mention, he is not a person with so many mouths.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yu returned to the kitchen, looked up, and found that everyone had already eaten, and even the bowls on the operating table were almost cleaned up.
Jiang Yu: "......"
I'm still hungry, and you're just cleaning up all the food?
He was speechless, and when he was thinking about getting himself something to eat to fill his stomach, Yan Tongtong turned around, took out a few large bowls from the whole box and put them on the table, and said happily:
"I know that my senior brother hasn't eaten dinner yet, you see, I have already left you food, you can eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it's cold."
Jiang Yu looked up at her in some surprise, and said that this girl was as careful as a hair, and she even knew how to keep food for herself.
Like Hu Zhihai and Lu Shuwu, they only hate that their stomachs are too small, and they can't wait to stuff all the delicious food into their stomachs, so they don't care whether Jiang Yu has eaten or not!
He smiled at Yan Tongtong, nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, Xiao Yan!" â
After speaking, Jiang Yu pulled a chair and sat down, picked up the fast and buried his head in eating.
âĻâĻ
Early the next morning, Jiang Yu woke up.
The No. 7 dining room has been closed for a day, and it has to reopen today, and the most important thing is that he plans to make some Qingming fruit today, the production process of this southern specialty snack is not simple, so he naturally has to get up early to prepare.
Getting up from the bed, putting on his clothes and shoes, he went to the bathroom again, washed up hurriedly, and then turned and went downstairs.
The light in the kitchen on the first floor is transparent, and Jia Zhibin, who doesn't talk much, is standing by the cauldron in front of the stove to make hot brine, and the rolling milky white steam is constantly steaming, so that most of the kitchen is hidden in the mist, like a fairyland.
Lu Shuwu had already arrived, with his sleeves rolled up high, standing in front of the console and rolling out the dough vigorously.
Seeing Jiang Yu coming, he greeted with a smile: "The boss is here so early?" Can't sleep? â
"I woke up from a sleep, and I didn't even dream."
Jiang Yu put on a white chef's uniform and said,
"Didn't I tell you yesterday? I have to make some Qingming fruit today, if I don't get up early, how can I be in time? â
"Oh, I forgot about that."
Lu Shuwu suddenly realized, and said, "Qingming fruit is not difficult, Uncle Ma and Sister Chunxiao should be able to make it, this also belongs to the pastry category, boss, you just need to adjust the filling." â
"They didn't come so early, I'd better do it first, and let them help make Qingming Fruit when the time comes."
Jiang Yu was talking, and the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang, he took it out and looked at it, and said to Lu Shuwu,
"Boss Zhao sent the ingredients over, Xiao Jia and I went out to pick them up, you don't have to come over."
As he spoke, he greeted Xiao Jia in front of the stove, and the two of them walked out from the side of the kitchen.
Boss Zhao had already parked the tricycle and was unloading a cart full of ingredients, when he saw Jiang Yu coming, he pointed to the side with a smile and said:
"Boss Xiaojiang, these are Qingming grass, there are about fifty catties of them, they are all very fresh, you can take a look for yourself."
"Okay."
Jiang Yu strode forward, grabbed a little Qingming grass and put it under his nose and smelled it, a surging fragrance mixed with a trace of water vapor lingered in his nose, he couldn't help but smile and said,
"Yes, it's fresh, I want all of this."
"Boss Xiao Jiang is really attentive, which university cafeteria is willing to spend time making Qingming fruit for students to eat, and it is troublesome and unprofitable."
Boss Zhao shook his head and said with emotion,
"It's you who are willing to do such a thankless job."
"You can't say that."
Jiang Yu waved his hand at him and said with a smile,
"The staff in our cafeteria also want to eat, anyway, so let's just make a little more so that the students can taste it too."
Universities are different from primary and secondary schools, most people are quite far away from home, and they can't eat this bite if they want to, what I can do is to let them relieve their homesickness a little. â
"Boss Xiao Jiang, you really don't have to say anything!"
Boss Zhao gave Jiang Yu a thumbs up, and he said with a smile while starting the tricycle,
"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, I have to go back quickly, the store is busy at this time, I'll come over to bother you when I have time."
"Okay, Boss Zhao go slowly!"
After Jiang Yumu saw Boss Zhao leave, he and Jia Zhibin moved all the ingredients that were unloaded to the kitchen and began to get busy.
After he cleaned the Qingming grass, he put it all into a pot of boiling water and added an appropriate amount of baking soda.
The effect of adding baking soda powder is to make the Qingming grass soft, and at the same time, it can also make the Qingming fruit made of Qingming grass still maintain its emerald green color after steaming.
The fresh and tender Qingming grass is easy to cook, boil it in boiling water for about two or three minutes, Jiang Yu will take out the Qingming grass and pass it through cold water, and then put it into the large cooking machine prepared by the canteen, add the appropriate amount of water that boiled the Qingming grass before, and beat the Qingming grass into a puree.
Subsequently, Jiang Yu poured the Qingming grass mud into a clean stainless steel basin, and then added the glutinous rice flour that had been prepared long ago, kneaded it into a thin dough after stirring it thoroughly, and put it into the steamer to steam.
At this point, the dough of Qingming Guo is basically completed, and the next step is to prepare the filling.
In Jiang Yu's hometown, the Qingming fruit made by ordinary people will have two flavors: sweet and salty, and the shape of the Qingming fruit is not the same.
The sweet Qingming fruit is generally filled with peanuts, sesame seeds, and brown sugar, and the Qingming fruit will be molded with a printed wooden mold after the filling is wrapped.
After steaming, the Qingming fruit is verdant, fragrant, and the delicate and delicate pattern looks beautiful, which makes people can't help but want to take a bite when they look at it.
The salty ones are a bit like oversized dumplings, but the edges and seams will be folded into a spiral, and the fillings have their own methods, Jiang Yu plans to use pork, sauerkraut, spring bamboo shoots, and fragrant dried ingredients to make the stuffing this time, which is also the taste he often eats at home.
When he finished preparing the sweet and salty fillings, the dough was almost steamed, Jiang Yu opened the steamer and took it out and put it on the countertop, poured a little cooking oil on it while it was hot, and then kneaded the dough evenly.
Adding cooked oil to the dough is to make the color of the Qingming fruit look brighter, and the cooked oil can also prevent the Qingming fruit from becoming dry and hard, and the taste will be softer and more glutinous.
When Jiang Yu was busy kneading the dough, Ma Guoqiang, He Chunxiao and others also came from home.
As soon as he entered the door, Ma Guoqiang couldn't help laughing:
"Yo, the boss has already prepared the two fillings of Qingming Fruit? It smells so good!
It seems that today, we are all in for a treat! â
