"Excuse me, what is medicated food? Is it a medicine that can cure diseases?" Liuhua walked to the nun and asked with a smile.
"Little girl, where are you going to line up?" A nun turned to look at Rikka and said with some displeasure.
"Medicinal diet is medicated diet. Some things that are beneficial to the human body are mixed into the food. After people eat it, they can not only resist hunger, but also prevent diseases." Another nun looked at Rikka and said immediately.
After the two of them finished speaking, they continued to throw some hay or dead branches into the iron pot. Rikka stopped asking and just watched quietly.
I saw that the iron pot with a diameter of more than one meter was gradually covered with these herbs, and only a few beef bones were the source of all the aroma.
The dry and hard black bread was divided into countless small pieces. The poor people raised their heads and stuffed it into their mouths, and then drank the soup in one gulp.
Rikka looked at the wooden bowl in her hand, and after taking a brief taste, she quickly smashed it and opened her mouth. It was a little bitter and a little strange, but it was quite acceptable.
But just as he was thinking about this so-called medicinal diet, an old woman walked out of the monastery. She ignored the greetings from others and walked straight towards Rikka.
"If you want to know how to make medicinal food, why not join the ranks of nuns? Even if it is only for three days." The old woman is the owner of the monastery and a priest apprentice.
"Three days?" Rikka stared at the wooden bowl in his hand and murmured.
"Three days! You will work here as a preparatory nun, and your reward will be all the medicinal and dietary knowledge I know." The old nun said again.
That night, Rikka fell asleep early under Boom's different eyes, and after preparing food the next day, she hurried out again.
Boom has long been accustomed to this. If Rikka really calms down one day, it means that the matter has become very serious.
At this time, Rikka quietly changed into her gray robe in an alley, and even put on the saint's brooch. After everything was ready, she walked towards the monastery with her head held high.
The first day of preparing nuns
Rikka was assigned to the kitchen in the morning, and her job today was to cut potatoes. As for when she can start learning medicinal dietary knowledge, it completely depends on her work progress.
Holding a kitchen knife and wearing a white hat, Rikka has become familiar with these things after being carefully trained by the women in the small mountain village.
And because of her strength, she even shocked the nuns who were supervising her. Rikka waved her hands and made phantoms, and nearly a hundred pounds of potatoes were instantly divided into countless small pieces.
Gudong, Gudong! A sound like a rainstorm echoed throughout the kitchen. It only took Rikka less than an hour to finish her work.
"You are indeed not an ordinary person, but I have no interest in your true identity. In this room, I am just a nun, and you are just an apprentice." The old nun took off her glasses and said gently. Rikka nodded when she heard the words. She could sense the weak magic power in the other party's body, just like Boom more than half a year ago. Therefore, what the other party said was exactly what she hoped for.
"Today I will give you the classification of medicinal foods. It is best for you to be careful. These are the things that are to be eaten in the stomach. There must be no carelessness." The old nun said with a serious face.
Medicinal food to keep out the cold: It has the effects of sweating, relieving muscles and removing pathogenic factors, and is suitable for the early stages of colds and exogenous diseases. This is also the broth you saw yesterday.
Detoxification Medicinal Diet: It has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, producing body fluids and quenching thirst. It is suitable for diseases where heat and poison are inherent in the body, or residual heat has not been cleared. Although it cannot replace detoxification drugs, it has an auxiliary effect.
Gluttony Medicinal Diet: It has the effect of strengthening the spleen, appetizing, and increasing appetite. It is suitable for people who are recovering from serious illness or are picky and anorexic. It is mostly used on those nobles to regulate long-term malnutrition.
Laxative medicinal diet: It has the effect of moisturizing and smoothing, and is suitable for dry stool. There is no need to go into details about the corresponding group of people, and it can also be used to treat wild animals.
Activating medicinal diet: It has the functions of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, reducing swelling and relieving pain. It is suitable for blood stasis, internal injuries, organ damage and other diseases. This is also the favorite thing of Dou Qi professionals.
Magic Medicinal Diet: It has the effects of promoting qi, regulating qi, and relieving pain. It is suitable for syndromes such as liver qi stagnation, distension, pain, and qi stagnation and blood stasis. The corresponding group of people are naturally magic professionals.
Soothing Medicinal Diet: It has the effect of nourishing blood and replenishing the heart, calming and calming the nerves. It is suitable for insomnia, dreaminess, palpitations and other symptoms. It is suitable for those who are depressed or have unresolved heart problems. It is also the most commonly used medicinal diet in daily life. p>
"The medicinal diets I have mastered are only these seven, but the combinations of the medicines are like stars. It's up to you to figure it out yourself." The old nun took a sip of hot tea and said with a smile.
Rikka, who was sitting opposite, was writing furiously, fearing that she would miss any word...
Preparatory Sisters Day 2
Rikka still finished her work before noon. The old nun was not surprised by this and continued to teach everything she knew.
"What I want to teach you today is the principle of application of medicinal diet, which is also the most important thing." The old nun opened her notes and said slowly.
Medicinal diet has many functions such as prolonging life, treating and preventing diseases, and certain principles should be followed when applying it. Magic potions are used to cure diseases and save diseases. They have quick effects and focus on curing diseases; while medicated diet is mostly used to maintain health and prevent diseases.
, the effect is slow, the emphasis is on nourishment and prevention.
Medicinal diet plays a very important role in conditioning, health preservation, and recovery, but medicated diet cannot completely replace pharmaceuticals. Both have their own strengths and weaknesses. The appropriate method should be selected based on the specific person and condition, and remember not to abuse it. When performing medicated diet therapy, you should pay attention to the taboos of food and drugs, and never mix all herbal medicines together. Eat according to your symptoms.
When performing medicinal diet therapy, you should observe the celestial phenomena and stars. The snowy moon is yin, the wheat-scented moon is yang, the water magic is yin, and the fire magic is yang. Make sure it changes with time.
When performing medicated diet therapy, the targets should also be different due to their different physiques and ages. Children have delicate constitutions, so the raw materials should not be too harsh, while the elderly are more frail, and the medicine should not be warm and dry. This is also the so-called person-specific diet. p>
When carrying out medicinal dietary therapy, different regions must also be considered. The temperature difference in the four seasons in Aogu City is very small, while the temperature difference between Frost Riding Castle and the Tundra Continent is exactly the opposite, so it must vary from place to place.
The third day of preparing nuns
Today is Rikka's last day as a preparatory nun, and at this time she is holding notes in one hand and throwing herbs into the iron pot with the other.
Not long after, wisps of aroma mixed with the aroma of medicine came out of the window and wafted into the street. Most of the poor people who were holding wooden bowls had their throats squirming.
That night, Rikka took off her gray robe and disappeared into the darkness under the smiling eyes of the old nun. As a priest, even the lowest apprentice, the old nun always maintained a holy heart. She doesn't mind if the other person learns her own skills, or she's not afraid of anyone asking her for advice. But over the years, Rikka is the first person to ask for advice humbly.
Returning to her room, the old nun wanted to extinguish the candle, but she found the money bag lying on the table. She gently put it into the drawer without any joy or gratitude. p>
As for Rikka, she was standing at the entrance of the small courtyard. After bowing deeply in the direction of the monastery, she jumped into Boom's arms.
