Chapter 59 – Medicinal food
“The fever wouldn’t go away and I hadn’t eaten anything all day.” Shi Xiaolan said.
“Why didn’t you call me earlier.” Tang Han chided.
“It was Mei Xuan who wouldn’t let me fight, so I didn’t.” Shi Xiaolan whispered.
Tang Han sat down at the head of Le Meixuan’s bed, reached out and grabbed her wrist, and began to take her pulse.
“Tang Han, is Mei Xuan seriously ill?” Shi Xiaolan asked.
“It’s nothing serious, it’s caused by anxious fire, I’ll just stick a few needles.”
Tang Han finished taking out the golden needles and stabbed them into a dozen of Le Meixuan’s major acupuncture points, then grabbed her small hands again and sent his true Qi into her body to clear her blocked meridians.
Ten minutes later, Le Meixuan’s fever had subsided and his face had regained its rosy color.
Tang Han waved his right hand and withdrew all the golden needles, and Le Meixuan woke up.
After seeing Tang Han, her nose got sore and she cried.
Shi Xiaolan saw Le Meixuan wake up and stopped worrying, closed the door and retreated, leaving space for the two Tang Han.
Tang Han saw Le Meixuan crying with pearly tears, and couldn’t help but feel pity, holding her in his arms and asking, “What’s wrong? Who bullied you like this? Tell me, I will take out my anger for you.”
“Tang Han, I’m sorry that you gave me the hotel, but I didn’t do a good job.” Le Meixuan said.
“Isn’t the hotel fine? What’s wrong?” Tang Han asked.
“Originally everything was fine, after the financial problems were solved all the work is on track, ready to open tomorrow. But just this morning, the head chef, Li Hanting, resigned with several of his disciples.”
“Resigned? Why did you resign? Didn’t we give him a salary increase?”
Tang Han has been in the restaurant for several months and knows the importance of Li Han Ting to the restaurant. The reason why the restaurant is called Li’s Secret Palace Cuisine, the main focus is Li Han Ting’s ancestral secret palace dishes. The secret recipe of these dishes is passed down from Li Han Ting’s ancestors and belongs to him personally, not to the restaurant.
So after taking over the hotel, Tang Han first asked Le Meixuan to double the salary of Li Han Ting and his disciples. At that time, Li Han Ting was also very satisfied, but I did not expect to resign in the blink of an eye, no wonder Le Meixuan fell ill with anxiety.
“I don’t know the exact reason yet, but I’m sure it was Fatty Zhou’s doing.” Le Meixuan said with hatred.
If there is no more Li Han Ting, then there will be no more palace dishes in the palace restaurant, how can we still open? I have to say, Fatty Zhou’s move is really very vicious.
Fatty Zhou, this scum is really a ghost, it seems that this trouble should be solved, Tang Han secretly said.
“You don’t have to worry about these things, get well first.” Tang Han comforted Le Meixuan and said.
Seeing Tang Han, Le Meixuan’s heart was filled with a sense of security and she nodded her head.
“Xiaolan said you haven’t eaten all day, what do you want to eat, I’ll find someone to make it for you.” Tang Han said.
“I want you to make it for me with your own hands, just eat the medicinal porridge from last time.”
Le Meixuan is lying in Tang Han’s arms, a pampered little woman.
“Okay then, wait, I’m going to make it for you.” Tang Han patted her cheeks and then put her on the bed.
“Beauty, dinner is ready.”
Soon, Tang Han brought a small pot of aura-rich medicinal congee to Le Meixuan. In order to tonify Le Meixuan’s body, Tang Han added a dozen different herbal essences to the congee.
“It smells so good.”
Le Meixuan was suddenly in high spirits, got up and started to destroy the porridge that Tang Han had served into the bowl.
She hadn’t eaten for a day, and with her appetite whetted by her illness, she soon slipped through a bowl of porridge.
Tang Han took the bowl and gave her a second bowl, and Le Meixuan said, “It’s delicious, your congee is better than even the palace dishes.”
After saying that, Le Meixuan’s eyes suddenly widened and she grabbed Tang Han’s shoulder.
Tang Han hurriedly steadied the bowl of porridge in his hand and called out, “Oops, take it easy, it will be ready soon.”
Le Meixuan said excitedly, “Tang Han, I thought of it, I thought of it ……”
“What did you think of?” Tang Han wondered.
Le Meixuan asked, “Tell me first, your medicinal food won’t be just one kind of medicinal porridge, right?”
Tang Han said, “Of course not, there are many patterns of medicinal food, the ingredients in the kitchen are just more convenient for making medicinal porridge, that’s why I chose to make this for you.”
Le Meixuan said excitedly, “Since your medicinal congee is even better than the palace cuisine and has so many fancy patterns, why do we have to do the palace cuisine? Let’s change the restaurant into a medicinal food workshop, it’s sure to be a big hit.”
Han Tang lit up, this is a really good way, how did not think of it, their own brain of a variety of medicinal recipes, and then join the spiritual formation, do it is certainly both delicious and cure, want not to earn money are difficult ah.
Le Meixuan continued, “This way we have our own secret recipe and never have to look at others again.”
“Good idea, we’ll change the palace cuisine restaurant into a medicinal food workshop.” Tang Han said.
Now that the decision has been made, the two of them said they would do it, and Le Meixuan started to prepare the hardware facilities of the hotel, including the purchase of herbs, the decoration of the hotel and the replacement of the plaque outside.
Tang Han sat in a quiet corner with a pen and paper, pondering as he wrote down various medicinal preparation methods, recipes and healing effects.
Medicinal food originates from Chinese medical food therapy culture, is guided by the theory of Chinese medicine, culinary science and nutrition, strictly according to the recipe of medicinal food, the combination of Chinese medicine and certain food with medicinal value, using Huaxia unique dietary cooking technology and modern scientific methods to make, with a certain color, aroma, taste and shape of the cuisine.
Simply put, medicinal food is a gourmet food made of herbs and food, in a way, he can assist in the treatment of some diseases, but also has a certain value of health.
Nowadays, material conditions are getting better and better, but people are under a lot of pressure and various diseases make every hospital bed overflowing, so people pay more and more attention to health care.
Jiangnan City already has a number of health centers, but also the main focus of some medicinal food, but those so-called medicinal food only its form, not its essence, in addition to some destroyed proteins, and did not achieve the healing function.
Tang Han’s medicine is definitely different and not comparable to ordinary medicine.
He has Medical King Sect’s secret recipe for medicinal food accumulated for a thousand years in his mind, and the most crucial thing is that he combines the formation with medicinal food, using spiritual qi to enhance the efficacy of medicinal food to the extreme, and the spiritual qi can suppress the taste of medicinal herbs, making the medicinal food more delicious and tasty, which is incomparable to other medicinal food workshops.
After Tang Han perfected the recipe, the herbs ordered by Le Meixuan from the pharmacy arrived.
He went to the kitchen and started to make medicinal food, he wanted to make a finished product of each medicinal food, and then teach the chef of the restaurant.
Tang Han’s own cooking skills are good, his movements are clean and nimble, the herbs and various dishes with a full range of colors and flavors, simply comparable to some chefs.
Soon, a table of color, aroma and taste of the full range of medicinal food is set up, Tang Han use spiritual Qi to remove the taste of Chinese medicine in the medicinal food, so that these mixed with Chinese medicine smell not medicinal, but the smell of foreign nose.
The kitchen of the restaurant, although Li Han Ting left and also took his apprentice, there are still many cooks, they saw Tang Han busy out a table of dishes, they all came over to see the hustle and bustle, do not know what the boss is up to.
