After getting up early in the morning, Li Yi and his party came to the restaurant.

After a few days of being busy outside, everyone was in a good mood after returning to the familiar restaurant.

In the live broadcast room, the audience is also brushing the barrage of "going home".

However, when they saw the ingredients and medicinal herbs that filled the pantry and kitchen, everyone realized that there might be another bad battle to be fought.

After Li Yi arrived at the restaurant, he went to the storage room to check it first.

After seeing that Xiao Lu had purchased all the ingredients and medicinal herbs he wanted, he returned to the back kitchen satisfied.

"Good news, bad news."

He asked a few people in the back kitchen, "Which one do you want to hear first?" ”

"Why did you have bad news when you just came back?"

Zhao Jinmai stood behind Liu Yifei, put his chin on Liu Yifei's shoulder, wrapped his hands around Liu Yifei's waist, and muttered: "Let's listen to the good news first!" ”

"Let's hear the bad news first."

Wu Lei proposed: "After hearing the good news, you can still rush to rejoice." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, that's not what Chongxi meant."

Li Yi reminded him, and then said: "The bad news is that we are going to make medicinal food this time, and all the ingredients must be guaranteed to be fresh, and we can't use frozen goods, so we have to come two hours early tomorrow to be busy." ”

"Huh?"

Zhao Jinmai made a bitter face: "I thought I could get a good night's sleep when I came back, but I didn't expect to have to get up early." ”

"And what about the good news?"

Wu Lei asked.

"The good news is that most of the medicinal materials to be used this time are concocted, and our workload has been reduced by more than half, so we should be able to go back early today."

Li Yi said with a smile: "And you don't have many ingredients to deal with, so I will do most of the work today, and your main job is to give me a hand, and by the way, you can taste the medicinal food I made." ”

"Wow! That's great! ”

Zhao Jinmai and Wu Lei jumped up happily, but Liu Yifei didn't smile, just looked at Li Yi and felt a little distressed.

In the past few days, Li Yi has been busy in Gaoyou, and after returning to the capital, he still has to carry the heaviest burden.

Sensing her gaze, Li Yi smiled and gave a reassuring look before beckoning: "Okay, come and help me share the ingredients!" ”

So saying, he led everyone to the storeroom.

In the storage room, the ingredients that Xiao Lu bought were piled up, all piled up together.

Vegetables, dried goods, mushrooms, dried fruits are all available.

There are dozens of soft-shelled turtles lying in the glass tank next to the wall, as well as some oysters, abalone, and crucian carp.

In the cage below, the native chickens nested inside, and when they saw people coming in, they all clucked.

A few were startled, flapping their wings and kicking up the dust on the ground, and the smell was somewhat "charming".

Xiao Lu knew that Li Yi would definitely have to tidy up after he came back, so he just filled in the ingredients in one go, so it looked a little messy.

The camera also followed behind, and the audience was amazed to see the pantry full of ingredients.

"I bought a lot of ingredients this time! There seems to be more variety than ever before. ”

"There are a lot of vegetables, and after making so many chickens, ducks and fish, I can finally eat some green leafy vegetables this time."

Seeing so many kinds of ingredients, Huang Xiaoming had a headache: "How can this be divided?" ”

When Li Yi heard this, he stepped forward and picked up a few ingredients, and gestured: "It's the same as before, put the pressure-resistant ones below, and the pressure-resistant ones on the top."

However, this time, we will have to classify them according to the five colors of green, red, white, yellow, and black, and adjust the position. ”

When Wu Lei heard this, he was a little puzzled: "Why do you want to divide by color?" Is there any difference? ”

"Categorized according to the five elements."

Li Yi explained: "Medicine and food have the same origin, and the ingredients can also be divided according to the five elements, five flavors, and five colors.

Green ingredients belong to the wood in the five elements, corresponding to the liver in the five organs, so according to the principle of food supplement, green ingredients will be more beneficial to the liver, with the effect of replenishing qi, strengthening the right and dispelling evil, clearing heat and dissolving the surface.

For example, if you often eat all kinds of green leafy vegetables, the heat in the stomach will be dissipated a lot, and the stool will be smoother, and drinking mung bean soup in summer is also the principle.

Red ingredients belong to fire, corresponding to the heart, red ingredients will have the effect of nourishing blood, nourishing yin, and generating blood, the most common is red dates, which you should all know.

The white ingredients belong to gold, corresponding to the lungs, just like white radish and cabbage, which can be eaten often to clear the lungs, nourish qi, and laxative.

Yellow ingredients belong to the soil, corresponding to the spleen, can protect the spleen, enhance immunity, the most typical is carrots, carotene is an antioxidant substance that enhances immunity.

The black ingredient belongs to water, corresponding to the kidney, the kidney is in the body and bones, the opening is in the ear and the second yin, its bloom is in the hair, in the will is fear, and in the liquid is saliva.

The kidneys are responsible for the fluid in the human body, and its appearance lies in the human hair.

Young and middle-aged people with abundant kidney qi tend to have thicker and shinier hair.

People who are old and frail and have weak kidney qi tend to have their hair withered and fall out.

Black foods are good for the kidneys, such as black fungus and black sesame seeds, so folklore says that eating black sesame seeds is good for hair, which is the reason. ”

Listening to Li Yi's explanation, Wu Lei couldn't help but exclaim: "So that's the case!" I've always heard you say that medicine and food are homologous, medicine and food are homologous, it turns out that this is what it means!

When I was a child, my mother bought me black sesame paste for me to drink, saying that it was good for my health, but I still didn't believe it, it turned out that there was really a basis! ”

In the live broadcast room, the audience also praised in the barrage.

"It seems like that's really the case! When I was a child, my grandmother would cook me radish soup to drink, and I didn't cough anymore after drinking. ”

"My family grows wolfberries, and eating too many wolfberries will really cause nosebleeds!"

"I eat too much meat and my stomach will be very uncomfortable, but I have a feeling of dryness and heat, and I also have acne on my face, and then I will eat vegetarian for a few days to recuperate, and my stool will really be smoother."

"So, eating black food can be an aphrodisiac? Order black fungus now! One hundred pounds! ”

Looking at the barrage in the live broadcast room, Huang Xiaoming asked curiously: "So, if you make medicinal diet, do you really understand the theory of traditional Chinese medicine?" ”

"It's to know something."

Li Yi explained: "In fact, in ancient times, diet and medicine were used together to regulate and cure diseases, so it is called the homology of medicine and food.

It is recorded in "Zhou Li" that at that time, there was a position of food doctor in Zhou Tianzi's palace, who was responsible for Zhou Tianzi's daily diet, and used five flavors, five grains, and five medicines to nourish his illness.

The goal of ancient food doctors was to use a healthy diet to prevent people from getting sick, rather than trying to treat them after they got sick, which was already a good policy. ”

Huang Xiaoming listened and nodded again and again: "I heard that there used to be a pharmacy with such a sign hanging at the door, saying that I would rather have ashes on the medicine, and hope that no one will get sick." ”

"I hope that people in the world are free of diseases, so why not put medicine on the shelf to produce dust."

Li Yi smiled: "In fact, this is the best medicine, which makes people simply stay healthy, which is more precious than the most exquisite surgery." ”
