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

Chapter 29: Final conclusion, the ancestral hall issues measures

The candle in the room flickered.

Ding Xirui smiled slightly and continued:

"have a rest."

"Okay." Lin Mingxuan answered, but his leg hit the corner of the table. Without making a sound, he spread his hands and pressed the table, then quietly moved to his bedding.

On the second day, the four of them were still divided into two groups, going to Zhu's house and Ju's house respectively. As night fell, under the moonlight, the four of them returned to Wang Yu's courtyard.

Before eating, Lin Mingxuan unfolded the big piece of paper with "Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum" written on it, and the four of them summarized what they had seen today.

"The situations of the 'Zhu' family and the 'Lan' family are basically the same. The sisters-in-law of the two families often learn from each other." Ding Xirui said, and Lin Mingxuan added one by one on the paper.

"Ju's family also has breakfast. At noon, the eldest sister-in-law made shrimp and meat patties for the children. We asked the eldest sister-in-law and she often made shrimp and crabs for the children. At night, they had vegetable porridge, which was the same as the first three families, with a lot of dried vegetables and wild vegetables." Lin Mingxuan said. Ding Xirui wrote on paper while listening.

After that, Ding Xirui stood up and pasted two pieces of paper on the wall, one above the other. Banxia and Nanxing picked up the candles and leaned over to take a look.

"Banxia, ​​tell me what you found." Ding Xirui asked.

"The families in front don't give their children breakfast, but the ones behind do," said Banxia.

"Nanxing, you tell me something too." Ding Xirui turned to Nanxing and said.

"During lunch, the children from the families in front didn't eat the food properly, but the families behind, some of them cooked specially for the children, some made the food the children liked. In short, all the children could eat the food properly." Nanxing said.

"Well, is there any difference in lunch?" Ding Xirui asked.

At this time, Lin Mingxuan replied: "Regarding the processing of wild vegetables, the 'Mei' family is very unique, which is not available in other families." Lin Mingxuan was referring to the practice of soaking wild vegetables in cold water for a long time. Ding Xirui knew that doing so would reduce the oxalic acid in the wild vegetables and improve the taste.

"Yes, indeed." The other three nodded.

"Well, let's look at the last column. The scores in the last column are all three points, but is there any difference?" Ding Xirui asked.

"Yes, the families behind added dried vegetables to the porridge." Banxia jumped up and said.

"That's right." Ding Xirui winked at her.

The conclusion was clear at a glance. The problem was with breakfast, the cooking method and the quantity of the dishes. Lin Mingxuan wrote a few words on the paper.

"Young Master, have we discovered the secret?" Nanxing's eyes flickered under the candlelight.

"Well, although it's not a earth-shattering secret, it's enough to change Luoxi Village." Lin Mingxuan patted him.

The laughter of the four people gently spread throughout the room.

"Let's go eat. I'm so hungry!" said Ding Xirui.

"Okay, let's eat!" Lin Mingxuan echoed.

Ding Xirui got up early and went out. He gave some change to his sister-in-law, who prepared stir-fried river shrimp and steamed fish to improve the meal. The four of them set up the table in the courtyard. The moonlight was like snow, the insects chirped, and the warm wind blew past, bringing the fragrance of rapeseed flowers on the hillside.

On the second day, Lin Mingxuan and Ding Xirui went to see the head of the village. When he heard that they didn't need to spend any money, the head of the village smiled.

"Dr. Lin, you are really amazing. You are worthy of being a doctor in the city."

"No, no, you're welcome. As a doctor, these are what I should do." Lin Mingxuan said with a red face.

"We'll do whatever you say," said the head of the village.

"Thank you, head of the village. I need your help to notify the villagers to gather together and bring some of their own meals." Lin Mingxuan continued.

"That's easy. However, dozens of households are a bit too many. There's not enough space in the village. How about we split them in half?" said the head of the village.

Ding Lin looked at each other and nodded.

"Okay. Let's do this first." Lin Mingxuan nodded.

"Since it's all about food, just ask the women to come over, so there will be fewer people," the village head continued.

Hearing this, Ding Xirui couldn't sit still:

"Chief, why don't you let the men come over as well?"

"Cooking is a woman's job. Men don't understand it, so why should they do it?"

"But the child is for both of us, so we have to care about both of us." Ding Xirui was not going to give up.

"Even if men come, there's no room for them here." The head of the village was a little impatient.

"Can we let a man stand outside the yard and watch?" Ding Xirui requested again.

The head of the village did not answer and looked at Lin Mingxuan.

Lin Mingxuan nodded to Ding Xirui, thought for a moment, and said, "Head, the men in the family are also important. Please ask everyone to come over so that we can get to know each other and make the family more harmonious."

"Okay then." The head of the village agreed.

At noon, the villagers gradually arrived. The village head stood in front of everyone and said:

"Dr. Lin came to our village for a free consultation. He found that many children in our village were too thin. He was worried that the children would be in poor health when they grew up, so he came to our village to find the cause and the solution. Do you want your children to grow up strong?"

"Of course I do."

"I tried to find a solution, but it was useless."

“It won’t cost money.”

The women talked in a flurry.

"Then let's ask Doctor Lin to speak." The head of the village invited Lin Mingxuan out.

Lin Mingxuan's heart was pounding. He took a few deep breaths and said:

"Sisters-in-law, have you noticed that the children of these sisters-in-law are taller and stronger?" Lin Mingxuan pointed at the four families of "Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum" and said. The children of the four families were sitting in front of them. The women looked left and right and started discussing:

"Yeah, my son is also ten years old, but his is very thin."

“No one in my family likes to eat.”

"I would like to give them something good to eat, but there is nothing."

Lin Mingxuan's voices gradually became quieter, and he said:

"Don't worry, it doesn't cost any money and it's very simple to do. Please come and see how these four sisters-in-law cook the same shrimps and crabs from the fields." After saying that, she opened the dishes one by one.

"Eh? Why does this rice smell so good?"

"What's in this wild vegetable?"

“There are also pancakes here.”

"It's definitely different from what I have at home. I made it so casually."

The sisters-in-law started chattering again.

The headman coughed a few times and the crowd gradually quieted down.

"Have you ever asked your children whether they like the food you cook? If they don't like it, why?" Lin Mingxuan asked.

Several women came with their children. Lin Mingxuan asked the children to come forward and speak:

"I think the crab shell is too hard and not tasty."

"I think shrimp paste is too salty and smells bad. I don't like it."

"I think the food is a bit bitter, I don't like it."

Several children lowered their heads and preached silently.

"Kid, why haven't I seen you say that before?" The mother of several children felt a little embarrassed and started to defend herself.

"Everyone works very hard every day, so it's normal that they don't pay attention sometimes. But we don't have much to eat in Luoxi Village. If the children don't eat the food on the table, their bodies will be affected." Lin Mingxuan raised his voice slightly.

"It's all for the good of the children. If we do a little more, the children will benefit for a lifetime. We must listen to Doctor Lin." The village head spoke up.

"Thank you, head of the village." Lin Mingxuan clasped his fists and bowed.

"In addition, we have discovered several more important points, which are not difficult. Please listen to me." Lin Mingxuan explained how soaking breakfast, dried vegetables, and wild vegetables in water can remove the astringency. At the end, he added:

"I heard that every household dries vegetables, but some dry more, some dry less, some can be preserved for a long time, but some spoil quickly. In autumn and winter, as well as in the spring when there is a shortage of food, adding dried vegetables to meals is good for the health of both adults and children. These sisters-in-law all make dried vegetables very well, so you can go and ask for their advice."

The four sisters-in-law, "Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum", have become popular.

"That's no problem. As long as it doesn't cost money, there's nothing wrong with doing more work." A hearty laugh came from the crowd.

"It's breakfast, and we need more rice." Several sisters-in-law still had frowns on their brows.

Ding Xirui listened silently and thought to himself, "County Magistrate Wang, it will be your turn to take action next."

The afternoon sun was bright, and the four of them were walking on the way back to Wang Yu's home, imagining the future of Luoxi Village. In the distance, rice seedlings were growing silently, waiting for the midsummer season, when they would sprout and bring out a brilliant scene for people.
