Chapter 334 Black Chicken Soup with Ginseng and Antler
Jiang Ru said she wanted to learn how to make herbal meals. Now that the eldest princess's attitude towards her is getting better, Jiang Ru has to pay something if she wants to get more.
Liu Ruyan's nanny came from a medical family, but her family was in decline. Her father was executed for killing someone, and she and her family were living abroad.
Fortunately, she had the ability to identify medicines and prepare medicated diets, so she was noticed by Madam Liu and assigned Liu Ruyan to be the nurse and nurse her back to health. Her ability to make medicated diets has never stopped in the past few decades, and all the masters like her.
something to make.
Jiang Ru happened to taste it when she came to Liu's house before, so she wanted to come and ask Liu Ruyan's nanny this time.
"Ms. Jiang, what kind of medicinal diet do you want to make?"
There are many kinds of medicinal foods, including those that are nourishing, soothing, beautifying, and even slimming. The nanny must understand Jiang Ru’s needs before teaching her. Otherwise, if Jiang Ru is not satisfied with the preparation, she will be embarrassed by the Liu family.
"It's suitable for frail and sick women who need nourishing food. You can teach me how to choose the most expensive medicinal materials."
Jiang Ru knew nothing about medicine, she only thought that the most expensive ones were the best, and since she was going to give them to the eldest princess, she couldn't get cheap medicinal materials.
"this……"
The nanny was a little embarrassed. She didn’t know how to nourish her body. If she blindly took a large amount of nourishment and didn’t nourish her body, but harmed the patient, that would be counterproductive.
"What, you don't want to? Doesn't the Prime Minister's Mansion still lack this little medicinal material?"
Jiang Ru thought she came empty-handed and the nanny didn't want to get the medicinal materials. Her face darkened and she turned to tell Xiu'er.
"Go back and tell your wife that I will borrow the medicinal materials from the Prime Minister's Mansion first, and I will return them tomorrow and ask her to bring the best ginseng and deer antlers!"
"yes."
Xiu'er was cowardly and didn't dare to make her angry. Looking at the pale nanny beside her, she quickly agreed and went back to find Liu Ruyan.
The wet nurse on the side knew that she had misunderstood her and originally wanted to explain, but Jiang Ru was very domineering in using power to suppress others. Although she was a slave, with her skill in making medicinal food, even Mrs. Liu would give her two cents of noodles.
Since Jiang Ru wanted to make the most expensive medicinal materials, she would just teach him. Anyway, he didn't go against her will. If anything happens to him, he would be responsible for the consequences.
Liu Ruyan was trying on a dress. When she heard Xiu'er's report, she felt that Jiang Ru was too domineering. She felt disgusted and sent him away impatiently.
"Just go to the warehouse and get whatever she wants. Write it down in the account and let her return it later."
"Why."
The medicinal materials Jiang Ru asked for were delivered quickly, and the nanny lost her enthusiasm at the moment. Looking at Jiang Ru who was at a loss and didn't know how to start, she secretly curled her lips.
"Madam, if you want to use ginseng and deer antler to make a nourishing medicinal diet, I will teach you a ginseng and deer antler black chicken soup. It nourishes and calms the mind, relieves fever and cold, and is most suitable for replenishing the body in autumn and winter."
Jiang Ru nodded repeatedly, "Okay, let's do this!"
The nanny was guiding her on how to put the ingredients. Stewing medicinal food was not difficult, as long as the heat was controlled properly. Jiang Ru felt that she had learned it after listening to it twice.
The chicken soup had been simmering for more than an hour, and the kitchen was filled with fragrance. The wet nurse opened the lid and sprinkled some salt. The soup was considered ready.
"Ms. Jiang, please give it a try and see if there is anything that needs improvement."
"Um."
This medicinal meal was made by the wet nurse who watched her, so there was nothing wrong with it. Jiang Ru took the small bowl and took a sip. The chicken soup was extremely delicious. After more than an hour of stewing, the essence of ginseng and deer antlers was incorporated into the soup.
Jiang Ru felt warm all over after just one sip, and her palms became sweaty.
Her eyes lit up. This medicinal diet was really good. It was not only delicious, but also more effective than taking medicine. Jiang Ru was very picky. If she liked the medicinal diet, the eldest princess would also like it.
"good."
"This medicinal diet is very tonic. If the person taking the medicine is too weak, it is better to eat less, otherwise he will be weak and not replenished."
The wet nurse saw her happy look and couldn't help but say a few more words. However, Jiang Ru wanted to please the eldest princess and wished she would eat more, so she would not listen to the wet nurse.
"Okay, I know it all in my heart. You don't need to tell me. Don't think that just by teaching me how to make a medicinal diet, you really consider yourself a master."
"You...are an old slave who has overstepped your bounds!"
A dog bites Lu Dongbin, but it doesn’t recognize a good heart!
The nanny was so angry at Jiang Ru's words that she turned blue. She shouldn't be so kind. When something happens, Jiang Ru will regret it!
After sending Jiang Ru away, the nanny felt angry for a long time. However, she had to help Liu Ruyan arrange food for tomorrow, so the nanny quickly put away the troubles in her heart.
…
Because Shen Yanqing ate irregularly, Jiang Miao did not have lunch at the Princess's mansion in the past few days and came back early every day.
She came back early today, carrying a roast chicken from Fuyuanlou, ready to feed Shen Yanqing.
However, when she waited for her to come home, Shen Yanqing did not arrive.
"Your Majesty, haven't you decided yet?"
I'm usually already at home at this time, why did I come back so late today?
Jiang Miao didn't know that Shen Yanqing, who she was thinking about, was in trouble right now.
"Shen Yanqing, this is the food I cooked for you, take it and eat it!"
Liu Ruyan had been waiting at the door of the house early. As soon as Shen Yanqing appeared, she couldn't wait to get off the carriage, took the food box from Xiu'er's hand, and walked over quickly.
A gust of fragrant wind blew by, and Shen Yanqing subconsciously took a step to the side, letting Liu Ruyan rush away.
When he saw clearly who was in front of him, Shen Yanqing's brows furrowed tightly.
Liu Ruyan, the legitimate daughter of the Liu family who may have hurt Jiang Miao.
A flash of coldness flashed in Shen Yanqing's eyes, and Liu Ruyan shivered unconsciously.
How could she detect murderous intent in Shen Yanqing? Then she looked up and saw that the man in front of her was just a little colder. The murderous intent just now was probably just her misunderstanding.
Liu Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief, with a charming smile on her face, and handed over the food box.
"Here are steamed duck with fermented wine, chicken marrow and bamboo shoots, pickled fresh vegetables, tofu skin buns, and a ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup. They are all made by me. You can eat them while they are hot."
Her tone was of a matter-of-fact nature, without any intention of showing off, as if she was going to accept it if she gave it to Shen Yanqing, and never expected to be rejected by Shen Yanqing.
"Need not."
Shen Yanqing's tone was cold, and without even looking at the food box, he walked around her and walked to the Shen family's carriage. No matter how good her cooking was, it couldn't compare to Jiang Miao's glass of boiled water in his eyes.
"Hey...don't be ungrateful!"
Liu Ruyan didn't expect that she would deliver it in person, and Shen Yanqing could still be so ruthless. Didn't he know who he was? Didn't he know that the person he refused was Prime Minister Liu's daughter?
The movement of the two people at the door of the household had already attracted everyone. One was the newly appointed doctor of the household department, and the other was the legitimate daughter of Prime Minister Liu.
The identities of these two people are completely different. They are still stalking the prime minister's daughter, and their concubine is interested and ruthless. Shen Yanqing's behavior really makes everyone think that he is ungrateful.
