After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

Chapter 128 Developing Medicinal Food

If the two letters were really sent to Lin Songwen, what kind of image would he have in Lin Songwen's eyes?

A beast in human clothing who deceives an ignorant girl?

If Lin Songwen knew that he wanted both his military power and his money, he would not know how to guard against him.

Besides, it’s not that he underestimates Lin Songwen, it’s just that there’s no way he can come up with so much money.

Also, even if he could take it out, he would not take it. He is not Jiang Kun, who can give up everything for Jiang Xiyu, and even if Lin Songwen dotes on Lin Rouyu, he would not do that.

For the sake of the military power in Lin Songwen's hands, he cannot expect to cure Lin Rouyu's illness now, and he needs to think of other ways.

Xu Rui raised his hand and put the letter in his hand into the candlestick and burned it.

Burning one letter was not enough, Xu Rui also burned the previous letter.

"Send two secret guards to keep a close eye on her." Xu Rui narrowed his eyes and said sternly.

"Yes." Deji responded.

"Where is the madam?" After burning the letter, Xu Rui thought of Jiang Xiyu and suddenly asked.

"It seems that he and the two maids are studying medicinal food in Jingyu Garden." Deji had just returned to Jingyu Garden and saw a group of people busy in the small kitchen.

Xu Rui became interested and went to Jingyu Garden.

In the small kitchen of Jingyuyuan, Jiang Xiyu was busy tasting medicinal food.

"The smell of this medicine is a bit strong. Qing'er, please make a note and remove another five grams of Poria cocos."

"Yes." Qing'er took out a small notebook with a lot of notes already written on it. "Ginseng and Poria porridge, remove 5 grams of Poria cocos."

Jiang Xiyu tasted the Eucommia ulmoides kidney slices next to it. There was not enough Eucommia ulmoides, so the taste was a bit bland. "Eucommia ulmoides kidney slices, double the Eucommia ulmoides."

Qing'er followed Jiang Xiyu and recorded everything Jiang Xiyu said.

"Madam, please try this eight-treasure pork belly and chicken. It's already stewed." Nanny Yu served Jiang Xiyu a bowl of chicken soup.

The rich aroma of medicine mixed with the fragrance of chicken soup instantly made Jiang Xiyu so hungry that her mouth watered.

Jiang Xiyu picked up the bowl, scooped up a spoonful of chicken soup, blew on it twice, and couldn't wait to drink it.

"The taste is just right, it's really delicious." Jiang Xiyu excitedly said the result before she even had time to taste it.

Nanny Yu, Nanny Wei, and Qing'er looked at each other with surprise on their faces.

Jiang Xiyu has researched many medicinal foods today, but there are very few that taste just right. It seems that this Eight Treasures Pig Stomach Chicken is a great success.

Jiang Xiyu tasted it carefully again and felt that this eight-treasure pork tripe and chicken soup was more delicious.

In addition to pork tripe and chicken, she also added eight different kinds of medicinal herbs to the soup. These herbs not only did not steal the flavor of the main ingredients, pork tripe and chicken, but instead brought out the aroma of the pork tripe and chicken soup, and even added a different kind of novel flavor.

This is definitely a delicacy that ordinary pork tripe and chicken soup does not have.

"What smells so good?" Xu Rui came here following the smell.

He smelled the fragrance as soon as he arrived in the yard.

The aroma of meat, vegetables and medicine mixed together.

Seeing Xu Rui coming over, Jiang Xiyu's smile faded a lot. He put down the bowl and said calmly, "It's nothing, just some medicinal food."

"Let me have a taste too."

Xu Rui didn't notice Jiang Xiyu's coldness and looked at her with a smile.

Qing'er glanced at Jiang Xiyu, and Jiang Xiyu nodded. Qing'er turned around and asked Xu Rui to serve a bowl.

Xu Rui directly snatched the bowl from Jiang Xiyu's hand and scooped up the chicken soup to drink.

Jiang Xiyu was stunned by his sudden action. After coming to her senses, she was speechless.

Xu Rui must have lost his mind now. Why is he so ambiguous towards her?

"Well, it's really delicious." After tasting it, Xu Rui stared at Jiang Xiyu's bright red lips and did not forget to comment.

Jiang Xiyu felt very uncomfortable being stared at by him, and she didn't know whether he was commenting on Aunt Cai's soup or something else.

Xu Rui really thought the soup tasted good, so he drank all of Jiang Xiyu's half bowl of chicken soup.

Jiang Xiyu adjusted her mood and treated him like a diner, asking for his opinion, "How does it taste? Is the taste of medicine too strong? Are you used to it?"

"Is this the medicinal food you developed?" Xu Rui didn't notice what other medicinal ingredients were put in it, but he felt that it was more delicious and tasted more unique than ordinary chicken soup.

Jiang Xiyu nodded, "Yes, I put eight kinds of medicinal herbs in it."

"Eight kinds of medicinal herbs, why don't I see any of them?" Xu Rui looked puzzled.

He really didn't see what medicinal herbs were put in the soup, and he couldn't taste any medicinal flavor.

Seeing him so confused, Jiang Xiyu was immediately surprised. "You can't taste any medicinal ingredients, right? I deliberately ground them into powder and added them to the soup. This makes it easier to season and use as medicine, and it also makes it harder for people to tell that this is a medicinal recipe."

Xu Rui immediately looked at Jiang Xiyu with new eyes, "You do have some business acumen."

In fact, he was not optimistic about the medicinal food business before. Although there were not many restaurants in Kyoto that made medicinal food seriously, it was not impossible to open a proper medicinal food restaurant. But if it was successful, many people would be jealous and those medicinal foods would soon be studied by others.

By then, I wonder how many more herbal medicine shops and restaurants will appear in Kyoto City. Will business still be good by then?

He didn't expect her to be so smart and take precautions in advance.

Jiang Xiyu had thought of this problem a long time ago, so he ground all the herbs into powder before adding them in, in order to prevent their medicinal food from being studied by others after it became popular.

Of course, her medicinal recipes are simply beyond the reach of ordinary chefs and doctors. Even the imperial physicians in the palace may not be able to taste out all the medicinal ingredients in her soup.

If other people really tasted what medicinal ingredients were added, they would not know the amount and order of addition, so they would not be able to steal the recipe.

After all, this was something she had researched with great effort, so she had to be on guard against it no matter what.

After Xu Rui drank Jiang Xiyu's bowl, he took the one handed to him by Qing'er.

"What medicinal herbs did you put in this, and what are their effects?"

Jiang Xiyu was happy and did not hide it from him.

"It contains pepper, wolfberry, huangshi, ginkgo, angelica, codonopsis, polygonatum, and ginseng. This eight-treasure pork tripe and chicken soup is very nourishing. It is effective for those suffering from insufficient vital energy, loss of appetite, indigestion, coldness, stomachache, and alcohol poisoning. It has the effects of promoting vital energy, strengthening the spleen, warming the stomach, warming and nourishing, dispelling cold, relieving stomachache, and detoxifying. For some patients, this food supplement is more effective than just taking medicine."

Looking at her confident look, Xu Rui's lips curled up unconsciously.

She really understands pharmacology, and it seems that her eyes are shining at this moment.

Moreover, she had no defenses against him, which made him both happy and relieved. "It tastes good. It seems that Princess Yunling has found the right person."

"I hope Princess Yunling will be satisfied." Suddenly remembering something, Jiang Xiyu said, "My Lord, I want to cultivate some medicinal herbs in Jingyu Garden. Is that okay?"
