The leisurely life of rebirth

The breakfast was so rich that Father Feng wished he could buy all the breakfast in the breakfast shop. There were many varieties, but the quantity was not large, which was enough for them to eat. "It's just a simple meal, you're neglecting it!" Father Feng said embarrassedly.

"No! That's good!" Fang Monan said with a smile.

Of course, Father Feng would not forget to buy Brother Yu two roasted chicken legs for him to chew on. As long as Brother Yu stands there, no one will forget him. It is rare to meet such an obedient Hai Dongqing.

After a lively breakfast, Dad Feng took the prescription and couldn’t wait to ride his bicycle to Tongrentang, ready to be the first to enter when the door opened.

Aunt Feng, who stayed at home, did not bother to clean up the dishes. She took her son into the inner room and helped Feng Zhi take off his clothes, exposing half of his arms. Aunt Feng washed her hands and began to apply medicine to her son.[

Fang Monan sat on the horse and said with a smile, "The ointment will cause a slight soreness, numbness, and itching when you apply it. You should be able to bear it."

"Well!" Feng Zhi looked at his dark arms, "This is really trivial! I can bear it."

Aunt Feng came back after applying the ointment and washing her hands, "Son, can we take ten days off! In order to better treat your arm." She then said, "Mom, please don't do it!"

"Okay! Why don't I ask for leave?" Feng Zhi said quickly, "Mom! Don't cry, I'll ask for leave."

Aunt Feng burst into tears and said with a smile, "This is my mother's good son."

Fang Monan pursed his lips and snickered, "Remember! After your arm heals, if you want to recover, you must exercise step by step. Don't do it too hastily. Otherwise, the consequences will be unpredictable."

"Yeah! Yeah! I will definitely keep an eye on him!" Aunt Feng promised, patting her chest.

While he was talking, Dad Feng came back on his bicycle and cleaned the casserole for cooking medicine at home.

"Son, you talk to your comrades first. Mom will boil some medicine for you. We'll be sleeping after taking the medicine." Aunt Feng walked out with the medicine bag and casserole.

Fang Monan stood up and said, "I will cook this medicine myself, and you will learn from it."

"Uh! Okay!" The two of them filed in.

Decocting medicine is a matter of course. First, soak the medicine in a casserole for half an hour. Aunt Feng has obviously decooked Chinese medicine herself and understands it very well. However, not all medicinal materials need to be soaked. Some medicines whose active ingredients are easily hydrolyzable should not be soaked.

.

The efficacy of the decoction is closely related to the quality of the decoction. Xu Lingtai said: "It is best to explain the method of decoction in depth. The effectiveness of the medicine depends entirely on this." Li Shizhen pointed out: "Everyone who takes decoctions, even if they are good at tasting them,

, practice and treat according to the law, but those who decoct medicine are reckless and make mistakes. If the water and fire are not good, and if the heat is out of proportion, the medicine will not work. The ancients have realized that there are many factors in the decoction process that affect the quality of the decoction.

In fact, in ancient times, the practice of medicine was divided into "prescriptions" and "methods". A prescription is a prescription, and if there is a prescription, the efficacy of the medicine must be compromised, and the best way to embody the "method" is to decoct the medicine. In ancient times,

A good doctor has very strict requirements for decoction. How many liters of water should be shared, how many liters are decocted, and how many liters are left? What kind of medicine should be decocted first, and what medicine should be decocted later; which diseases should be decoctioned in well water, and which medicine should be decoctioned in river water. These are all

It is particular.

Even what medicines should be taken hot and which medicines should be taken cold, there are strict regulations. The method of decoction of Chinese medicines cannot be sloppy. According to the different properties of medicinal materials, they can be divided into "decoction first", "then add", and "bake decoction".

","fry separately","melt","

There are several methods such as "consumption". Some minerals and shellfish medicinal materials such as magnets, oysters, etc. are difficult to cook due to their hard nature, as well as some toxic drugs such as Sichuan Wu, Aconite, etc., long-term cooking can destroy their toxicity, so they must be "fried" first.

That is, cook it for 30 minutes before adding other medicinal materials.

Some of the more expensive medicinal materials, such as ginseng and cordyceps, need to be boiled separately in order to better extract their active ingredients and avoid waste. After cooking, they are then mixed into other cooked medicinal juices.

Traditional Chinese medicine also includes some easily volatile medicines such as mint, rhubarb, senna, perilla, etc., which must be added and cooked for five minutes when the other medicinal materials are almost ready, which is the so-called "after-drying".

The medicine that Fang Monan prescribed was a latent medicine, so he handed it over to Aunt Feng.

There is so much knowledge about decoction of Chinese medicine, and people's life pace is so fast, many Chinese medicine clinics now use automated machines to decoct medicine. The disadvantage of automated machine decoction is that it cannot fully decoct the original medicinal properties, unless the decoction time is too long

Slow and long soaking before decoction can achieve the effect, but this is not economical. Therefore, it is better to decoct the Chinese medicine by yourself.[

When it comes to taking medication,

Aunt Feng was afraid that her memory would be bad, so she took out a pen and paper to record the process of decoction.

Today, this medicine is considered simple. If it is more complicated, Fang Monan can only cook it himself.

Feng Zhi looked at the dark soup, closed his eyes, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Feng Zhi, have a good rest! We'll come back in ten days." He Junyao stood up and said, "Don't do anything nonsense."

"Yes! Captain!" Feng Zhi replied loudly, "I'm just a wooden man at home these days."

"Haha..." Fang Monan smiled.

"Huh! That's best. Mom will take care of you these days." Aunt Feng said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on him."

"Don't say goodbye to Feng Zhi. I haven't slept for a few days. Go to bed quickly." He Junyao stopped him from getting up and dressed, and looked at his bloodshot eyes with dark circles and said.

"Okay!" Feng Zhi looked at his parents and said, "Dad, Mom, please go and see off the captain."

"You don't have to say that." Aunt Feng said straightforwardly.

The two old men kept He Junyao and the others in the car until the car disappeared in front of them, and then they turned back and walked home.

"By the way, those bags of herbal medicine are very expensive. You actually walked out in a hurry and forgot to give you the money." Aunt Feng said.

"It's not expensive! It's not expensive! A pack of medicine only costs one yuan." Dad Feng said with a smile.

"What! It's so cheap." Feng Ma's eyes widened as if she didn't believe it.

"Why did I lie to you?" Dad Feng said with his eyes widened. "I didn't believe it at the time, but that's what the payee said, and I asked twice."

"This cures the disease! It only costs so little money." Aunt Feng thought this was incredible.

"I find it incredible too, but there is no reason for them to lie to us for fun!" Dad Feng said with a slight frown.

"What are you thinking about?" Aunt Feng patted her wife on the shoulder and said, "As long as it can cure the disease, it doesn't matter whether it's expensive or not."

"Oops! I forgot to give you the medical fee." Aunt Feng knocked on her head and said.

"Don't worry, they will come again in ten days!" Father Feng said quickly.[

"Yes!" Aunt Feng turned around and walked out of the alley. Dad Feng called her, "Where are you going!"

Aunt Feng said without looking back, "I'll go to the police station to ask for half a month's leave for my son." After saying that, she turned around and said, "My father, you also ask for a few days' leave. Let's watch that bastard at home."

.”

"I know, you go ahead! When you come back, I will go to the work to ask for leave." Dad Feng waved. He saw his wife walking with wind in her eyes, and her eyes suddenly became moist, and he wiped his face.

He also strode home.

The bright sunshine in the sky is as bright as the hearts of the Feng family!

Sitting in the car, "Where are we going now?" Fang Monan looked at the position of the sun, "Oh! It's already past ten o'clock."

"How about you follow my arrangements next?" Fang Monan raised his eyebrows and took out a copper plate in his hand as he spoke, "The next step is up to you."

People were doing divination to ask about good or bad luck, but she was looking for snacks. If a Feng Shui master saw her doing this, he would definitely call her a prodigal.

"Listen to you!" He Junyao said. He has been on missions all year round and has spent countless hours in Beijing. The places he visited in the past few days are all familiar to the common people, and there are more than 600 kinds of snacks left in the imperial city in the late Qing Dynasty.

No one has counted how many species are left.

"Follow me and I'll give you the hot and spicy food!" Fang Monan patted him on the shoulder generously, looking exactly like a female bandit.

"Let's go! Go to the front door!" Fang Monan waved his hand.

*******************

"This is it." Fang Monan pointed to a store and said through the glass. The store was only about 40 square meters in size, including the kitchen.

The facade of this small shop is very ordinary. An old signature small intestine hangs lazily, which reflects the leisure of people in the imperial city. At around 10 o'clock in the morning on an ordinary working day, there are only a few tables in the small shop.

There are guests, which is enough to show that its taste is indeed attractive.

Fang Monan and the others walked into the store and saw a young shopkeeper sitting behind the counter. When he saw a customer coming in, he greeted with a smile and a Beijing accent: "What do you want?"

"Your signature dish." He Junyao said. "Braised small intestine!"

"Young people know how to order." Other diners nearby gave a thumbs up.

‘Young people?’ But compared to other diners, most of whom are in their fifties or sixties, and even the young shopkeeper is in his early forties, He Junyao has become a young man.

"Okay! Just wait a moment!" said the young shopkeeper.

"Su made fat and fresh food to satiate his appetite. He cooked the meat in soup and cooked it. Even though the gluttonous people said it was greasy, a piece of ointment would fill his shirt." "Miscellaneous Odes of Yandu Snacks"

Braised small intestines: The prototype is Su Zaorou, a palace snack. In order to save money, the common people replaced the main ingredient of pork belly with pig offal. Thus, the unique flavor of braised small intestines was born.

The food has not yet been served. In order to relieve everyone's boredom, the young shopkeeper, who has just turned 40, has no experience, but he can talk vividly about the stewed braised pork at home. "Before liberation, there were very few storefronts for snacks in Peiping.

A street stall. At that time, our family had a stall in the old theater. We set up a few small tables, spread them with green cloth, and picked up a gas lamp, and we opened. My cousin used to work at that stall when he was young.

Help. For a long time, the braised snack was a roadside business." (To be continued...)
