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

Chapter 36: Extinguish the flame of lies and cook delicious tofu

When she got home in the evening, Ding Xirui felt particularly warm when she saw the food. After working all day and walking back and forth across several streets, she hadn't felt so hungry for a long time. When Lin Mingxuan came in after washing his hands, Ding Xirui suddenly felt that a problem had come. Her brain was working fast. She had searched all day, but the medical books she had read in the past did not cover what she had talked about in the clinic this morning.

She decided to give in. If Lin Mingxuan asked, she would say that she had read it at home before, but she had forgotten which medical book it was.

Lin Mingxuan sat down, picked up his bowl, and started eating without saying a word. Ding Xirui felt uneasy.

Halfway through the meal, Lin Mingxuan spoke:

"Today you said that eating mushrooms, fungus, and kelp can help replenish qi and blood. I haven't seen this in books like Dietary Materia Medica, and I haven't heard of it when I was studying with my father. Where did you read it?"

The sword of Damocles that had been hanging for a day finally fell.

"I saw it in a book when I was at home." Ding Xirui didn't look at Lin Mingxuan and answered while picking up some food.

"What book?" Lin Mingxuan continued to ask.

"I can't remember. I thought about it this morning. I read that book a long time ago in my study at home, but I really forgot the name." Ding Xirui continued to eat, his heart pounding. It feels so bad to lie. I really don't want to lie. Oh! The information is not synchronized. It's so helpless.

"Well, next time you go home, take me to look for it."

"Okay." She still had to look for it. As expected, once a lie was told, there would be countless more to come. It was too difficult. Ding Xirui didn't want to do this. She thought for a moment and decided to change direction:

"But we may not be able to find it. It's been a long time. Why don't we see how Sister-in-law recovers? If she gets better after eating these foods for a while, it means they are effective. We don't need to worry about what the book says."

"That's good. Then starting from tomorrow, we have to keep an eye on sister-in-law's diet, and that will take some time." Lin Mingxuan smiled. This is not a matter of just a few days, it will take a month or even several months.

"Well, if there is something she can do in the clinic, can she be hired long-term?" Ding Xirui asked.

"It's better not to. Because there will be one or two families like this from time to time, and the clinic will leave some vacancies when arranging things, but they cannot be hired every time, otherwise there will be too many people and the clinic can't afford it." Lin Mingxuan.

"Yes. Giving a man a fish is only a short-term solution. The key is for them to be good at something and have the corresponding opportunities." Ding Xirui stopped eating and began to think. So it is difficult for the government to manage. There must be enough employment opportunities for the people to live in peace.

Lin Mingxuan also put down his chopsticks and said, "In the early years, there were several patients who, after recovering from their illnesses, some started a business selling medicinal materials, some went home to make large bamboo baskets for drying medicinal materials, and some went home to do their original jobs. It depends on the person. The clinic can only do so much to help, and we cannot be responsible for someone's entire life."

Ding Xirui pondered for a moment and said, "Indeed. There are too many things to do, and we can't take them all on ourselves. That's not reasonable." After that, she picked up the bowl, filled it with soup and handed it to Lin Mingxuan.

Lin Mingxuan took it, looked at her, and continued: "You've worked hard today. Are you tired?"

"I'm not tired, it's very interesting." Ding Xirui replied with a smile.

"As long as you are happy, that's good." Lin Mingxuan said after taking a sip of soup.

"Yeah." Ding Xirui also lowered his head to drink the soup.

Banxia and Nanxing looked at each other and secretly laughed with their hands covering their mouths.

On the second day, the two went to the clinic again. Banxia had a mission today. She had to go to the home of the couple from yesterday, and remind them to buy groceries according to the food list written by Ding Xirui, and watch the patients take medicine and eat.

A few days later, An Yumo came to visit excitedly.

"Xi Rui, I have good news to tell you!" An Yumo was quite excited.

"Come in quickly." Ding Xirui pulled her into the house.

"My father promised me to go to the restaurant, but he won't arrange a marriage for me for the time being."

"That's great!"

"Also, my father agreed to our proposal. I have made the tofu stew these few days, and I want to make it for you to try today."

"Okay."

Xiaoqin walked into the kitchen with a bag of food. An Yumo drank a few sips of water, and the two sisters also walked into the kitchen.

Tofu, chicken, dried mushrooms, scallops, pea sprouts, green onions, garlic, ginger, and three casseroles were all laid out on the stove.

"Xi Rui, I'm going to make two flavors, meat and vegetarian, three pots in total. The ingredients are very simple and anyone can make it." An Yumo's eyes lit up.

"Then what do you need me to do?" Ding Xirui asked.

"Just help me wash the vegetables and then just watch over me." An Yumo waved his hand.

"No problem." Ding Xirui took out the vegetable washing basin and scooped a bucket of water.

"Cook the chicken first and make a broth." An Yumo said as he added water to the big pot and put the chicken, green onions and ginger in. Banxia helped to light the fire.

Next, she soaked the dried mushrooms and scallops in a large bowl.

Xiaoqin helped An Yumo put on an apron, tied up her sleeves with the loops, and then took a rope to tie her hair together.

"This is the right way to work." Ding Xirui thought of the costume dramas he had watched before. The beautiful heroines had their sleeves drooping and their hair long. What could they do in the kitchen like that? It was simply deceptive.

After washing the vegetables, An Yumo started working.

Cut the tofu into pieces, dice the shallots, slice the ginger, and chop the garlic. Ding Xirui looked at An Yumo and thought that if she lived in the 21st century, she would definitely be an excellent food blogger.

The dried vegetables are basically soaked, the mushrooms are cut into shreds, the scallops are flattened, and placed in a small bowl for later use.

Heat a small iron pot, add onion, ginger and garlic, and stir-fry the mushrooms and scallops separately. Add water to the casserole, add the stir-fried mushroom shreds, then add tofu, salt, soy sauce, a little bit of bean paste, and start stewing.

"This pot is vegetarian, simple, right? If there is a secret, it is the dried mushrooms, which are more fragrant than fresh ones. Adding some bean paste will make it more flavorful." An Yumo said.

"Yeah, I can already smell it." Ding Xirui replied.

"Miss, is the chicken soup ready?" Banxia asked.

"Originally it's not possible, but I can't hold out for too long today, so let's do this for now." An Yumo replied.

"Okay, then I won't light the fire." Banxia said, and stopped adding firewood.

An Yumo scooped out a bowl of chicken soup, poured it into the casserole, then put in the tofu and continued cooking.

The last ingredient for the casserole is scallops. The steps are basically the same. After the pot is boiled, the flavor of the scallops becomes stronger.

The vegetarian pot was cooked first, and An Yumo put the pea tips she brought into it. The other two pots were filled with the small green vegetables that were originally in Ding Xirui's kitchen.

Looking at the steaming pot, Ding Xirui asked, "Shall we have three pots of tofu for lunch?"

“There’s still chicken in the pot.”

"Haha, I'm full just from tasting the dishes." Ding Xirui said with a smile.

"Call him back at noon...Lin Mingxuan. To be honest, you haven't seen him yet." Ding Xirui continued.

"Okay, please ask Dr. Lin to try the dishes with us." An Yumo said, "I've heard about it for so long, and today I finally get to see him." She nudged Ding Xirui.

"Oh, it's not any rare flowers or animals. It's nothing rare." Ding Xirui muttered.

"Banxia, ​​did you hear me? Go to the clinic and call your brother-in-law back." An Yumo shouted to Banxia.

"Yes." Banxia smiled and ran away.
