"Ji Nian, I have come here to see you Grandma Zhao." Liu Chewu looked at Zhao Lianhua, and a gentleness and some indescribable colors flowed out from the calm.

Could it be said?

A strange thought suddenly appeared in Ji Nian's heart. Zhao Lianhua, Zhao Jingluo and Liu Chewu are of similar age. Could it be that these two of his teachers had pursued Zhao Lianhua? Later, they were rejected and could only be friends. This is definitely the case, otherwise they would have no way of explaining their current status.

"Hello Grandma Zhao, my name is Ji Nian." Ji Nian walked up to him and said respectfully. Like the other two division commanders, he did not dare to neglect at all.

"Okay, I heard your teacher say that he had accepted a good student and wanted to meet him all the time. I didn't expect that when I saw him today, it was really good. Are you hungry? Let's go and sit there. I'll bring the dishes to you and you can eat them." Zhao Lianhua said very kindly.

"Grandma Zhao, I'll help you serve the food." Ji Nian approached quickly and followed into the kitchen.

After a while, a few exquisite and elegant side dishes were placed on the table. The smell of medicine in the air became more and more intense, and just smelling it was enough to make people feel energetic.

After Zhao Lianhua sat down, she looked at Ji Nian and smiled and said, "Ji Nian, since you are a Chinese medicine student, I will give you a test question. There are five medicinal foods on the table, four dishes and one soup. You just need to say two kinds of medicinal materials used in each dish, and I will say you pass the test. If you pass the test, grandma will give you a gift, but if it fails..."

"If it is right, it means that a certain teacher is not good at teaching, and it will mislead his children." Zhao Jingluo laughed and took over the conversation. His words were a bit disrespectful, but it also showed the deep friendship between him and Liu Chewu.

"Nonsense." Liu Chewu glared, "Old Zhao, if you say that, do you dare to bet with me? Just bet whether Ji Nian can pass the test. If he passes the test, I will win, then take out the ancient prescription that I teased me last time for me to study. If I fail the test, I will lose. Aren't you thinking about my Song Dynasty medicinal scriptures? Can I let you study it for a month, dare you bet?"

"No gambling." Zhao Jingluo first glanced at Ji Nian, but he didn't even want to think about it, so he shook his head decisively and refused.

"What do you mean? You don't even have the courage to place bets, right? When did you become so timid?" Liu Chewu first looked at the old friend in confusion, and at the same time he didn't show any mercy, and even used the method of provoking.

Zhao Lianhua also looked over with some confusion, as if the Zhao Jingluo I saw today was not the same person as before.

"Yes, you didn't dare to place bets? You were frightened by Chewu, but you still believed in Ji Nian too much. You are very clear about these five medicinal foods. Even you two may not know how to do it. There is no reason to make sure Ji Nian can guess it."

"Lianhua, you were wrong this time. I really have confidence in Ji Nian. I don't know the details of these five medicinal foods, but this does not mean that I can't guess how many medicinal materials I used. Since I can guess, I believe Ji Nian can definitely do it. He learned from me, can I not know his ability?"

"Old Liu, if you really want to bet, okay, let's lift the two medicinal materials upwards, there is no need to be too many. Four kinds. As long as Ji Nian can tell you any four medicinal materials in each of these five medicinal foods, even if I lose. I will give you that ancient prescription, and you can use it at will from now on. Just this one, dare to gamble? If you dare to gamble, let's make a bet in front of the lotus." Zhao Jingluo raised his eyebrows and said in a demonstration.

Are there four types? Liu Chewu looked sideways at Ji Nian, "Is it OK?"

"Teacher, if you believe me, you will be ready to accept Mr. Zhao's ancient prescription." Ji Nian smiled indifferently, his tone full of strong confidence.

"Haha, I believe that if a teacher doesn't even believe his own students, this teacher will be too failure. It's a big deal, Zhao Jingluo, I'll bet with you. There are four types. As long as Ji Nian can tell the four medicinal materials in each medicinal diet, you will lose. If he can't tell, even if I lose, I will give you the medicinal scripture to slowly appreciate, even if it's copying." Liu Chewu was also a young man who was crazy and said with great enthusiasm.

"That's all."

Zhao Jingluo smiled like an old fox and bent his lips, "Ji Nian, when I was as old as you, I was once tested for this problem by lotus. Not only me, but your teacher, too. If I remember correctly, there was only one medicinal dish that I mentioned four medicinal herbs, and the other four were all three. Your teacher is like me, and you may have to fall apart this time. But this fall apart is good, and it depends entirely on you, so I can copy the Song Dynasty medicinal scriptures. Hehe, thank you."

"Old Zhao, you may be disappointed this time."

Ji Nian slowly stood up from the chair. Under the gaze of the three old men, he raised his right hand to touch the medicinal soup closest to him. The moment he touched, the red energy in his left and right palms began to rotate, and then a message like a computer program appeared in his mind.

"Grandma Zhao, your skills are simply impeccable. The medicinal food you make is not only unique in taste, but most importantly, you can accurately grasp the combination of each medicinal material and the cooking temperature. It is my honor to be lucky enough to eat the dishes you make. For example, this Cordyceps sinensis beef marrow soup can make people feel comfortable when drinking. Mr. Zhao said that as long as I identify the four medicinal materials, I will say it."

After a slight pause, Ji Nian took a deep breath of the medicinal aroma.

"The main ingredients in this soup are Cordyceps sinensis. Not much, it should be about 3 grams, and there should be yam, which should be about 10 grams. In addition, there are cypress kernels, beef marrow and dried lily. It seems very simple, but there is no difference from the other methods of making soup. In fact, if you don't understand, it will be exposed as soon as you make it. Because the Cordyceps sinensis in the soup is steamed in water, not all of them are put in and cooked. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, medicinal soups like this have a good effect on strengthening the mind and nourishing the heart."

With Ji Nian's explanation, an incredible expression appeared on the cheeks of Zhao Lianhua and the other two. Even Liu Chewu was a little surprised. He would agree to make a bet. The more reason was that he wanted to give Ji Nian a chance to perform. As for winning or losing, he didn't care.

Could it be that his old friend Zhao Jingluo wanted to read the medicinal scripture, and Liu Chewu would force him to keep it and not give it to him? But he never thought that Ji Nian not only said four kinds, but also said the amount of each medicinal material, and even the method of cooking Cordyceps sinensis.

Are you right?

Of course, right. Liu Chewu and Zhao Lianhua are friends for so many years. Even if they don’t understand the specific soup making process, they still have a clear idea of ​​the key points. It is precisely because they are clear that they are shocked now.

"Chewu, are you sure you haven't told Ji Nian about this medicinal food?" Zhao Lianhua turned her head and looked at Liu Chewu. She had already woken up from her surprise just now and asked very strangely.

"I really haven't said that, why did I tell him this? Besides, Lao Zhao brought him here today, and the question you asked, it has nothing to do with me. But this is my student, my disciple of Liu Chewu, so amazing." Liu Chewu began to praise him. The student was outstanding, and his face was also bright!

Not counting this, he raised his eyebrows at Zhao Jingluo and demonstrated: "Old Zhao, are you sure you want to continue?"

"Nonsense, of course I have to continue. If I admit defeat here, I will lose a lot. Ji Nian, continue to say, say all the remaining four medicinal foods, and even if I lose, I will lose even if I lose." Zhao Jingluo pointed at the other four dishes in discontent and said.

Can you tell them all? This is not difficult for Ji Nian. He can definitely tell them all with the energy in his palms. And he found that after returning from Shitou Village, his energy was obviously much thicker than before.

More importantly, I just tried it and didn’t consume much energy. It seems that just analyzing this simple dish will not cause waste. In fact, even if I don’t use it, Ji Nian can tell it, but it is impossible to distinguish it so carefully.

Ji Nian, who was trained by his grandfather Ji Pingsheng since childhood, had the potential that Zhao Jingluo could not imagine. The standards he believed were actually far from the limit that Ji Nian could reach. Forget it, there is no need to be so serious. At least he had to leave some face for Mr. Zhao. Just confirm that the vitality pipe is useful, so it's better to save some use.

Ji Nian no longer touched the other medicinal foods, and opened his mouth and said.

"This braised mutton is made very authentic. My favorite thing is mutton. Some people say that mutton can only be eaten in winter, but in fact, it doesn't have to be so strict. Even in summer, eating one or two meals occasionally will not harm the body. There should be angelica, raw rehmannia, dried ginger and pepper, as well as at least five kinds of peels."

"The key to this chicken medicinal diet is the raw chicken. Before cooking, it should be marinated with ginseng, poria, yam and licorice. Then add lotus leaves, angelica and other Chinese herbs in the middle and stir-fry them slowly over low heat, so it is so fragrant."

"I think this cold kombus dish should be a misunderstanding created by Mr. Zhao for me. In fact, there are not so many Chinese medicinal materials. At least I can only tell it. In addition to the kombus, which is the main ingredient, there are minced ginger and orange peel powder. Well, if you smell it, you should also have minced peppercorns."

...

Just after Ji Nian said all the medicinal materials of the four medicinal herbs, Zhao Jingluo, who was still questioning just now, was completely convinced.

Liu Chewu laughed happily.

Zhao Lianhua nodded with satisfaction.
Chapter completed!
