After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

Chapter 250: Camphor tree has many uses, the boss of the tea shop has strange thoughts

Back in the kitchen, Ding Xirui picked up a corn cake and took a bite.

The cornmeal is blanched in boiling water, and then flour, eggs and a little sugar are added to ferment it. It is then spread out and fried on a frying pan. It is fluffy and soft, and full of fragrance.

"Young Madam, the food is not ready yet, so don't eat too much." Banxia said as she was flipping the pancake.

"I'm just trying it." Ding Xirui smiled slightly and went to the side to continue cutting vegetables.

Golden corn cakes, stir-fried cabbage, Dutch potato stewed with chicken, cold shredded radish, and millet soup were laid out on the table, steaming hot and very tempting.

Nanxing ate three pancakes in a row, but still felt it was not enough. Just as he was about to reach out for the fourth one, Lin Mingxuan tapped his hand.

"Be careful not to overeat or you won't be able to sleep at night."

"Master, I'll have another one, just one." Nan Xing laughed and took a small one.

Ding Xirui took a sip of millet soup and said slowly:

"After dinner, go out and walk a thousand steps, then come back and do horse stance."

"Okay--" Nanxing drew out the voice, looking very expectant.

After days of busy work, this meal was quite relaxing and everyone had a good appetite. A gust of wind blew by, and the horses in the yard snorted.

"Oh, I forgot to sweep the yard this morning." Banxia stuck out her tongue.

"Then wash a few more bowls later..." Nanxing pushed his soup bowl next to Banxia.

"I won't wash it for you. At worst, I'll sweep the yard for two more days tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Banxia curled her lips, as if in disgust, and pushed his bowl back with chopsticks.

Ding Xirui and Lin Mingxuan looked at each other and smiled helplessly. These two people always bickered whenever they had time, never having a moment to relax.

Several people cleaned up the kitchen and walked out of the courtyard together. The air was cool, and there was still light in the sky. The star Changgeng was twinkling in the distance. It was near the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the moon had risen early, approaching the full moon phase. The people in the alley were clattering bowls and pans, and from time to time there were laughter or arguments coming from the courtyard. This was probably what life was like.

Starting from the courtyard, walking through three alleys, to a large camphor tree, and then back, there are a thousand steps. When they were near the destination, Nanxing and Banxia trotted over, looking for camphor tree seeds in the dim light. Lin Mingxuan and Ding Xirui followed behind.

"What are the effects of camphor seeds?" Lin Mingxuan asked.

"It can relieve pain, open up the meridians, treat arthritis, cure indigestion, cholera abdominal distension, and relieve skin itching." Ding Xirui answered like a conditioned reflex.

"Boiled camphor wood chips into a concentrated juice can also induce vomiting. If someone faints due to foul or improper air, you can burn camphor wood smoke to wake them up." Lin Mingxuan added.

Ding Xirui nodded slightly.

"Yesterday afternoon, a few brothers passed by the clinic but didn't dare to go in. Nanxing asked a few questions and they said that their feet started to itch at night. There were no sores or lumps, but the itchiness was severe." Lin Mingxuan continued.

"so?"

"So, I didn't prescribe any medicine for them. I just asked them to boil some camphor branches and soak their feet in water. Maybe they will be healed in a few days."

"Yeah, it saves money, effort and is convenient." There may be elements in camphor wood that can kill fungi, Ding Xirui thought silently. The things he came into contact with in the past two days, Trichosanthes can treat facial diseases and moisturize the skin, while the camphor wood that can be seen everywhere on the street can treat athlete's foot, and the camphor bark can be made into mothballs to repel insects, all of which are good things.

"Master, Madam, come and have a look." Banxia came over holding a handful of camphor tree seeds. "I picked up a large bunch."

"Take it home to dry, and put it in the house to repel insects and remove odors." Ding Xirui picked up a green one and crushed it with his hand.

"I have purple ones." Nanxing shouted under the tree.

"Be careful not to get it on your hands. You won't be able to wash it off."

"Well, I wrapped it in a handkerchief."

A few people picked up some fallen camphor seeds and walked slowly towards home. The night wind was cooler, and the clouds were stained with the white light of the moon, light and transparent. The moonlight outlined the contours of the houses and trees, and the road under their feet was clearly visible.

Two days later, Ding Xirui and An Yumo came to "Bai Zhi Cha" to receive the Mid-Autumn Tea gift.

Amu was packing tea leaves, his movements were gentle and his eyes were focused. The boss's niece Meng Xiumei was putting notes on the small jars, her face was serious and her eyes were bright. The boss's eldest brother put the packed jars into the cloth bag, with a smile on his face, as if he was playing. The boss's wife, because the wound on her hand had not healed completely, was wiping the table with a dry cloth.

"Busy." Ding Xirui walked into the house.

The proprietress turned around, saw a familiar figure, and hurried over to greet him.

"It's Doctor Ding and Miss An. Please come in."

"Let's get the tea gift."

"I'll come and change your medicine by the way."

The two smiled and came to the counter.

"Everything has been packed." The proprietress came to the counter, bent down, carefully opened the door of a cupboard, and took out several packages one after another.

"Three for Miss An and three for Doctor Ding."

"Thank you, Madam boss. How much more do we need to pay?" An Yumo asked.

"Just pay one tael each."

"Okay." Xiaoqin took out her purse and took out two small pieces of silver. "Please weigh them." She handed them to the counter.

"Let me help you weigh it." The eldest brother of the Meng family quickly moved over here.

The proprietress's expression changed slightly, but she didn't refuse.

"Brother, be careful."

"Don't worry, I can do this little thing well."

The eldest brother of the Meng family took the silver and put it on the scale pan, then put the small weight on the scale mark of one liang and lifted the small scale. The tail of the scale bar tilted up, but he quickly put it down.

"Exactly one or two ounces. You have a very accurate hand, young lady."

The corners of Xiaoqin's mouth twitched and she turned around to look at An Yumo.

"Brother, the beam has to be level to be just right. It was clearly tilted just now." An Yumo said.

"Miss, you still have to deduct the weight of the scale pan, it must be just right."

"Brother..." The proprietress's face was not looking good. She turned her head and continued, "I'm sorry, Miss An, my brother is not familiar with this small scale, let me weigh it for you."

"I've already told you to let me weigh it. You go and have a rest." The eldest brother of the Meng family looked a little embarrassed, but still insisted on weighing it himself.

"Let me weigh it." An Yumo said, reaching out to take the scale. She placed the weight on the zero mark, took out the silver, and then lifted the scale, which was flat.

"Brother, it seems that you are not very familiar with this scale. The scale pan does not count." An Yumo smiled, put the two pieces of broken silver back on the scale pan, and moved the weight.

"This is more than one or two taels. We need to cut some of it off." The proprietress pushed the big scissors over.

"Hmm." An Yumo picked up the scissors, cut off a small corner, and weighed it again. It was exactly one tael. Xiaoqin put the small silver corner back into her purse.

"Please keep it." An Yumo pushed two pieces of silver in front of the proprietress.

"Thank you, Miss An. This is the amount you deserve." The proprietress picked up the silver and put it in the drawer, while the eldest brother of the Meng family followed it with his eyes.

Ding Xirui took out a hundred dollars and said, "Sister-in-law, please count it."

The eldest brother of the Meng family was about to reach out his hand, but the proprietress had already put it in the drawer.

"Since Doctor Ding prepared it, there's no need to count it."

"Haha, thank you for your trust. If you have nothing else to do now, let's go change the medicine."

"it is good."

The proprietress picked up the key from the drawer, turned it, and put the key back into her sleeve. The eldest brother of the Meng family withdrew his gaze in disappointment.
