After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy
Chapter 116: Developing Medicinal Food
Jiang Xiyu nodded and followed Yan Zi up to the third floor.
As soon as Jiang Xiyu entered, she found that there were only a few people in the restaurant, perhaps because it was morning.
The restaurant has three floors. The first floor is the lobby, the second floor is the private rooms, and the third floor also has several rooms, but they are not open to the public.
And now Princess Yunling is waiting for her on the third floor. Could it be that this restaurant belongs to Princess Yunling?
Soon, Yan Zi brought Jiang Xiyu to the door of a room and stood at the door to announce, "Princess, the wife of the Marquis of Yonglin has arrived."
"Please ask her to come in." Princess Yunling's voice came from inside.
"Please come in, Madam Yonglin." Yan Zi pushed the door open and stood aside to let Jiang Xiyu in.
Jiang Xiyu nodded, and when she walked in, she found that there was another maid in the room, serving her.
Jiang Xiyu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "I pay my respects to the princess."
Princess Yunling smiled and helped her up, "Xiao Xi, hurry up and get up. There's no need to be so formal with me. You don't have to be so polite when you see me in the future."
Jiang Xiyu raised her eyes and saw Princess Yunling's kind face. She could clearly feel her kindness towards her, so she bowed again, "Thank you, Princess."
"You." Princess Yunling said helplessly, "You don't have to keep calling me Princess. Just call me Yunling."
Princess Yunling is not only the eldest daughter of King Wu, but also one of the few legitimate descendants of the Yun Dynasty royal family, and she has a noble status.
Just like the cloud in her name, it is high above and cannot be touched by mortals.
Although she is just a princess, because she is of the royal family's direct bloodline, her status in the royal family is very high, even higher than some illegitimate princesses.
After all, Princess Yunling has her own fiefdom, but ordinary illegitimate princesses don’t have fiefdoms.
So even if Jiang Xiyu had a thousand courage, she would not dare to call her by her name.
In addition, Princess Yunling is much older than her. As her junior, she cannot call her by her name for both moral and logical reasons.
Princess Yunling didn't force it. She took her hand and sat beside her. "If you're embarrassed to call me by my name, you can just call me Sister Yun from now on. I'll call you Xiaoxi."
Feeling the kindness of Princess Yunling, Jiang Xiyu could only follow suit and call out, "Sister Yun."
Princess Yunling smiled and told her maid Dengzhi, "Go and bring the soup from the kitchen."
"Yes." Dengzhi responded and immediately retreated.
It turns out that this restaurant really belongs to Princess Yunling.
Soon, Dengzhi brought in two small cups.
Gu Yunling brought a small bowl and placed it in front of Jiang Xiyu. "This is the medicinal soup newly developed by our restaurant. Please help me try it."
"Medicinal soup?" Jiang Xiyu was a little surprised. "Does the restaurant also serve medicinal food?"
Speaking of this, Gu Yunling couldn't help but sigh, "You should have seen it when you came up just now. Our restaurant's business is not very good. This year, we are even a little short of income. I have to think of other ways."
Gu Yunling said this, raising the account books on the table.
Just when Jiang Xiyu sat down, she noticed the account book on the table. She thought that Gu Yunling must have been looking at the account book before she came.
Gu Yunling sighed softly, "There are countless restaurants in Kyoto. Just this spring, another one opened before ours. Their dishes are novel and have attracted many customers, making our restaurant increasingly unpopular. That's why I wanted to come up with something new, and that's when I came up with medicinal cuisine."
Jiang Xiyu nodded in understanding.
It’s true, I haven’t heard of any restaurant in Kyoto that serves medicinal food. If Gu Yunling can really make it, maybe the business will really pick up.
Gu Yunling looked at Jiang Xiyu helplessly and said, "We've never made this kind of medicinal food before. Whether it's the taste, the dosage of the herbs, or the efficacy of the medicinal food, we have no experience. I just thought that since your mother's medical skills are so great, even if you didn't inherit your mother's medical skills, you should know some pharmacology, so I wanted to ask you to help me with some advice."
Jiang Xiyu was originally curious about why Gu Yunling called her over, and it turned out to be because of this matter.
Jiang Xiyu's originally tense heart gradually relaxed.
Gu Yunling raised her chin towards Jiang Xiyu and said, "The taste of medicinal food will change when it gets cold. Let's try it first."
"Okay." Jiang Xiyu responded, opened the soup bowl, and first looked at the color of the soup.
It is pork tripe and chicken soup, but the color of the soup is not milky white, it is a bit black, probably because of the medicinal herbs.
Jiang Xiyu leaned in closer and sniffed it again. Just with that one sniff, she could already smell what medicinal ingredients were put in the pig stomach and chicken soup.
Finally, Jiang Xiyu scooped up a spoonful of soup and tasted it.
The original pork tripe and chicken soup was very delicious, but after adding medicinal herbs, the taste became a little hard to describe.
"How is it?" Gu Yunling looked at Jiang Xiyu expectantly.
It's sweet with a hint of astringency, and a bit of fishy smell from the pig's stomach.
This smell probably won't attract any customers.
But Jiang Xiyu was too embarrassed to answer honestly. After a moment of silence, she looked at Gu Yunling and said tactfully, "Sister Yun should not be short of money, so why bother with so much trouble? Just leave these things to the people below."
For example, she had many shops as part of her dowry, but she didn't manage them much. She hired a shopkeeper and an accountant to manage them, and she only went to collect the money once a month.
Gu Yunling quickly understood the meaning behind Jiang Xiyu's words and asked with a frown, "Is this medicinal food really that unpalatable?"
She was a little bit unconvinced, so she picked up the spoon and took a bite. As soon as she put it in her mouth, she spat it out.
He wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.
"It's really unpalatable. However, I followed the doctor's prescription and asked the chef to add the medicine according to the prescription. How could it be so unpalatable?" Gu Yunling looked puzzled.
Jiang Xiyu explained with a smile, "The doctor's prescription is for medical treatment. It can't be added directly to the meal. Not only will it affect the taste of the meal, but it might also counteract the ingredients in the meal due to the medicinal properties. Medicinal food can't be prepared carelessly. If you don't do it right, it could be fatal."
"I didn't expect medicinal food to be so complicated."
She asked the chef to research this medicinal food for almost a month. It was very bitter and bitter at the beginning. She thought it was effective now, but she didn't expect it to be so unpalatable. Even the dog wouldn't drink it, let alone the guests.
Gu Yunling glanced at Jiang Xiyu, and suddenly her eyes lit up. "Xiao Xi, you understand pharmacology, can you help me develop some medicinal foods that are both delicious and have some medicinal uses?"
Jiang Xiyu glanced at the medicinal meal in front of her and said helplessly, "I've never made this kind of medicinal meal before. I have to go back and study it."
Seeing Jiang Xiyu's agreement, Gu Yunling's happy face immediately broke into a smile. He took her hand and said excitedly, "Xiao Xi, thank you so much. I have a lot of recipes here. You can take them back and study them."
