After 18 hours of observation the next day, Chang Yue could not hold it in any longer.
At the hospital, she managed to convince the doctor in the emergency department, Su Yun, and finally Zheng Ren. Finally, she returned home as she wished.
It was a false alarm, but everyone felt like they had survived a disaster. Being able to live well was indeed something worth celebrating.
However, Zheng Ren still insisted that Chang Yue eat liquid food for two days. After all, acute anaphylactic shock caused the body to be in a state of stress. In severe cases, patients could even suffer from gastrointestinal bleeding.
Although Chang Yue looked fine, Zheng Ren still cautiously allowed her to eat porridge. In any case, she could be kept as a rabbit for the next two days and could not eat greasy food.
"Zheng Ren, do you have any food restrictions recently?" Xie Yiren was ready to go and buy all kinds of delicious food for Chang Yue.
Although she could not eat it as usual, she could still chop it up and put it into the porridge. In Xie Yiren's opinion, eating plain porridge with some pickled vegetables was torture.
"Just don't be too spicy or greasy," Zheng Ren said.
The word 'food restrictions' sounded familiar.
"Okay."
The two chatted as they changed into shoes and prepared to go downstairs. Blackie squatted on the ground, its eyes fixed on the two. At this time, as long as the slightest movement indicated that it wanted to go out with them, Blackie would rush up like a black bolt of lightning with the leash in its mouth.
"Be good, you don't have to go if we want to go grocery shopping," Zheng Ren said gently as he patted Blackie's head.
"Blackie, here!" Su Yun picked up a peanut and shook it at Blackie.
Blackie seemed to be a little hesitant, but in the end, it ran happily towards Su Yun.
"Zheng Ren, other than spicy and greasy food, what else?" Xie Yiren asked. "When I was sick, my mother told me not to eat hair products. Sister Yue, this, is it okay? "
"Hair products …" Zheng Ren held Xie Yiren's hand and entered the elevator.
He had explained this to patients countless times, so he could not be more familiar with it.
Generally, patients would first express their gratitude to the doctor after surgery or even after they were discharged. Finally, they would ask if there were any food restrictions, such as seafood, beef, and mutton.
In the past, Zheng Ren would explain everything carefully every time. Now, there was no need for that. Chang Yue alone supported the medical team and the patient's communication.
"In my opinion, traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, listening, questioning, and palpation. We can't solve all problems with just one or two concepts," Zheng Ren said.
Xie Yiren did not notice that Zheng Ren was speaking in the same tone and logic as a patient's family member. She happily pulled him into the elevator.
"I want to make seafood porridge for Sister Yue, but I heard that seafood is a hair product. What if it goes bad? I'm scared," Xie Yiren said.
"I think seafood can be counted as hair and hair in earlier years … Forget it, there's no theoretical basis. If you're worried, then don't feed it to Chang Yue."
"Beef and mutton? Is it also considered hair? "Xie Yiren asked.
"It is said that it has the functions of replenishing qi, nourishing the spleen and stomach, strengthening muscles and bones, dissolving phlegm and calming wind, and quenching thirst and salivation. It's suitable for people with sunken Qi, shortness of breath, weakness of the body, weakness of muscles and bones, anemia, chronic illness, and yellow-faced dizziness. "Zheng Ren smiled and said," It should be considered a hair product. There's another saying that mutton doesn't count, but beef does. "
"Then you can't eat beef and mutton either …" Xie Yiren was a little down.
Since she could not eat beef and mutton, she could only have some vegetables.
"What about vegetables?"
"Tomatoes, eggplants, spinach, chili, chives, shiitake mushrooms …"
"Wait, shiitake mushrooms are hair products?!" Xie Yiren asked in surprise.
"I should say that almost all edible mushrooms are hair products." Zheng Ren continued to speak in the same tone as a patient's family member, using almost, should, almost, possibly and other words.
"Anything that can cause dry mouth, red eyes, swollen gums and constipation are all hair products, but this was mentioned in a recent Chinese medicine paper," Zheng Ren said, "In Chinese medicine books, it's called stirring the wind generates Yang energy. I don't have much knowledge in this area."
"You can't eat this or that. Don't tell me you can only drink millet porridge to nourish your stomach?"
"Yes, millet is fine. It's also known as coarse rice. It's sweet and slightly cold, and it can enter the lungs and large intestine. "Zheng Ren showed off his limited knowledge of Chinese medicine.
Xie Yiren felt a little sad when she thought about Chang Yue eating like a rabbit.
The joy he felt when he wanted to buy groceries was gone. All that was left was annoyance and unwillingness.
"Actually, there's a recent research on the integration of Chinese and Western medicine that I think is quite reliable," Zheng Ren said, "The so-called hair products refer to certain foods that can cause allergic reactions."
"Allergic …" Xie Yiren was a little "allergic" to the term.
Chang Yue had gotten into such a serious accident after drinking some warm water yesterday. If it were not for the two skilled doctors at home, she might not have survived.
Therefore, Xie Yiren would rather believe it than not. She chatted with Zheng Ren as they walked past most of the stalls in the wet market, full of regret.
Since Chang Yue could not eat, no one else could. She could not just watch them eat and drink lavishly, could she?
That would be too inhumane, especially for Chang Yue, who claimed to be on a diet but had to eat a lot of food every day when she went grocery shopping with Xie Yiren. It could only be described as cruel.
The wet market was noisy. Zheng Ren was in charge of carrying the goods. Xie Yiren would ask Chang Yue if she could eat every item she bought.
If it were someone else, Zheng Ren would have been annoyed.
However, these questions were asked by Xie Yiren after all. He smiled at Xie Yiren's back and explained patiently. Some of them even pretended to be stunned and went to the System library to flip through the books.
Although there were all kinds of "inedible" things, Zheng Ren's hands were still full of all kinds of ingredients in the end.
Faced with the dazzling array of ingredients, Zheng Ren did not know how to arrange them to make a delicious meal.
Cooking was also a big knowledge, but Zheng Ren had no interest in it.
In fact, Zheng Ren believed that seafood, beef, mutton, or other "hair products" were completely fine.
Chang Yue did not have an incision, so it should not be involved. However, since Xie Yiren had asked, he would eat less. There was no harm in it anyway. If he really had an allergic reaction, Zheng Ren felt that he would go crazy.
If it was a post-surgery patient, Zheng Ren felt that protein supplementation was still necessary. Otherwise, insufficient nutrition would affect the healing of the incision.
There seemed to be many things to pay attention to when he returned home to recuperate. Zheng Ren sighed. It was not easy for doctors, and it seemed that it was not easy for patients' families either.
