At the Goryeo state banquet, kimchi was not the main dish, but just a side dish. In order to satisfy the visitors, they had to add their own elements. The Goryeo chef once mixed nine kinds of food, including meat slices, fish fillets, and three-color egg pancake slices.
Together, we will make Goryeo's own hotpot. Due to religious elements and food culture issues, Goryeo will prepare a variety of set meals. In the past, there were steaks with raw ginseng, palace fried rice cakes, soy sauce dishes and other foods.
It is said that the Korean soy sauce dish is more than 300 years old.
Just like in the Goryeo TV series, Goryeo likes to eat barbecue probably because he rarely eats it. The chief of Goryeo likes to grill skewers on charcoal fire himself and give them to other diners.
In addition to barbecue, there is one dish that is unacceptable to some diners, and that is the dog meat feast.
All the ingredients used in the dog meat feast are from dogs, whether it is cold dishes or hot dishes, without exception. It is said to be fragrant and very delicious.
The staple food of Goryeo is rice, but pure rice will not be served at state banquets. In their eyes, white rice is cheap food and not suitable for that kind of environment.
They like to add red rice, soybeans, etc. to the rice to make rice. During the state banquet, the wine used at the Goryeo state banquet may be traditional rice wine, which has a very low alcohol content.
In addition to rice wine, Korea also had soju.
Although it bears the name of shochu, the alcohol content is not high, just slightly higher than that of Chinese rice wine. It cannot be compared with Chinese shochu at all.
Because of the low alcohol content of Goryeo Soju, it is very soft when you drink it, but you will get drunk if you drink too much. In order to prevent the guests from getting drunk, the alcohol content at Goryeo state banquets is sometimes lowered.
As for Korean wine, it is not suitable for most Korean drinkers.
Chestnuts will also be added and steamed together. In addition to rice, there will also be other pastries for diners to choose from.
…
When Xiao Chen, Tang Bing, Mo Xiaowan, and other old Chinese medicine doctors were eating there, soon, someone brought food that was dog meat. Xiao Chen didn't know it at first, but he smelled it.
Obviously, neither he nor Tang Bing would eat dog meat.
Even though these are artificially bred meat dogs.
However, in Xiao Chen's opinion, dogs are spiritual after all, and are different from other meats.
Other old Chinese medicine practitioners heard that it was dog meat, but they ate it very happily.
If I had known about eating this food, Xiao Chen and Tang Bing would not have stayed.
"Dr. Xiao, this dog meat is very fragrant, won't you eat it?"
"We can't eat, I'm the god of pact." Xiao Chen could only find an excuse to say.
So that’s it.
Those old Chinese doctors never asked Xiao Chen to take it again.
On the contrary, Tang Bing and the two girls thought that the Korean red rice and the beef slices were well cooked.
Xiao Chen and the two girls ate there, and they were very full after about forty minutes.
Others were still eating there, and Xiao Chen wanted to end the banquet early and leave to go back to Chinatown, but with so many Korean dignitaries here, he was too embarrassed to leave early.
At this time, Xiao Chen saw an old man walking towards him.
This old man was the one who just gave him the award, the head of Hyundai Group. Xiao Chen just remembered that his surname was Zheng.
Others, he didn't know.
When the old gentleman came over, there was an interpreter following him.
At first, Xiao Chen thought it was something.
Unexpectedly, the translator said: "Dr. Xiao, Mr. Zheng said that he is feeling a little unwell. I hope you can check on him after eating."
I'm not feeling well, can you help me?
This is nothing.
"Okay, before I return to China, I can show it to this old gentleman."
It seemed that Mr. Zheng came over to say something and then left.
The banquet lasted until half past twelve noon.
After eating, Xiao Chen and Tang Bing came out.
When he went outside, he already saw Mr. Zheng waiting for him in the distance.
Xiao Chen and Tang Bing went over and got on a Korean luxury car. The luxury car left here and headed for downtown Seoul.
After driving for nearly an hour, when the other party stopped the car, what Xiao Chen didn't expect was that it actually stopped at a beachside mansion some distance away from the beach.
It stands to reason that this place is different from the Cui Minhao family villa that Xiao Chen followed to see.
The villas here are also good, and the feng shui is good.
The one that looks particularly good.
When the luxury car stopped and Xiao Chen and the others got out of the car, Xiao Chen and Tang Bing followed Mr. Zheng inside.
When Xiao Chen sat down in the living room of the villa, he found that it was very quiet. Apart from the sound of waves in the distance, there was almost no other sound.
After a nanny here brought tea to Xiao Chen and the others, Mr. Zheng's translator said: "Doctor Xiao, please sit down for a while."
Xiao Chen sat there and drank tea for a while.
When Xiao Chen saw Mr. Zheng coming over, he saw that his face was rosy, and he did not look like a sick person.
"Old sir, I see that you look very good and you don't look sick."
After the translator spoke, Mr. Zheng smiled.
Xiao Chen asked him to sit down, and then bought him a pulse and tongue test. Except that he felt that there was something wrong with his blood pressure, there were no other problems.
"Old sir, I can confirm that you do not have any disease that needs treatment. If you want to maintain your health, I can prescribe you a prescription to slowly adjust it."
The old gentleman shook his head.
"If that's the case, I think the old gentleman must have asked me to come here to treat other people."
"Dr. Xiao, you are so amazing, you can guess it right away."
At this time, Mr. Zheng seemed to be surprised.
Not long after, a man who looked to be in his thirties was helped out as if he was ill.
When the young man saw Mr. Zheng, he seemed to be indescribably disgusted.
"Help me take a look at this, my son."
When he asked the other party to sit down, Xiao Chen was already there looking at the other party's expression, then checking the other party's pulse, and finally looking at the tongue.
In the end, Xiao Chen didn't say anything.
"Dr. Xiao, do you know what disease my son has?"
"Mental illness."
Mental illness?
Mr. Zheng and the translator were naturally surprised.
Of course, what surprised the old gentleman even more was that Dr. Xiao was really a god.
"Can that be treated?"
"able."
This is mental illness, but not as severe as those in psychiatric hospitals.
Moreover, those like Xiao Chen can be treated, let alone the young man in front of me.
"How to treat it?" the old gentleman asked.
"I need to know more about this patient's condition."
Since he wanted to treat the other party, Xiao Chen must first understand some of the other party's experiences.
No one gets sick for no reason, especially with this kind of mental illness. It must have been stimulated to become like that.
