The dishes that Feng Yu Heng had prepared for the table had common ingredients. The cooking method was meticulous, and the style was exquisite. Most importantly, the taste was unique. There was the original fragrance of the ingredients, as well as a faint medicinal fragrance. This kind of medicinal fragrance removed the original bitter taste of the medicine and forced out the sweetest and purest fragrance. Mixed in with the dishes, it actually made people's fingers twitch when they smelled it.
"This is …" An shi was the first to express her surprise. She wanted to ask why there was a medicinal smell, but she also felt that the smell did not seem like medicine. How could there be medicine that smelled so good?
Feng Yu Heng immediately dispelled her doubts: "This is a table full of medicinal cuisine."
"Medicinal cuisine?" The matriarch froze for a moment. She recalled a time two years ago when she had fallen ill. The doctor had also tried medicinal cuisine for her. He had her drink medicinal congee every morning, but the congee was even more disgusting than the bitter medicinal soup. Since then, in her opinion, there was no difference between medicinal cuisine and medicine. Medicinal cuisine was medicine. Now, Feng Yu Heng had given them a table full of medicine?
Looking carefully, she felt that this so-called medicinal cuisine was different from the one she had eaten that year. Un, there was also a congee, but this congee was white and sticky. Just looking at it made people drool.
"What medicinal cuisine. Isn't it just medicine." Feng Zi Hao snorted and said sarcastically: "Mother went to pray for the family. Upon returning, she gave us medicine. Feng Yu Heng, what sort of heart do you have?"
Nobody spoke. Aside from Yao shi and the others that believed in Feng Yu Heng, everyone else had the same question.
Feng Yu Heng did not argue with Feng Zi Hao. She just stood up and personally distributed the stone olive and dragon bone soup into everyone's small bowls. While doing so, she explained to the table full of delicacies: "Medicinal cuisine is part of Chinese medicine's food therapy culture. The essence of it is to combine Chinese medicine with certain foods that have medicinal properties and cook them together. From there, it becomes a delicious food with a certain color, fragrance and shape. The so-called medicine in food refers to using medicine as food while also using food as medicine. Medicine borrows the power of food, and food assists the power of medicine. The two complement each other and bring out the best in each other. "
"In the end, isn't it still medicine!" Feng Zi Hao was very disdainful, "I don't want to take medicine. Take it away and bring a normal meal."
Nobody paid attention to Feng Yu Heng's tantrum. Everyone was moved by Feng Yu Heng's explanation. What's more, these dishes looked exquisite and smelled fragrant. If he could eat delicious food and at the same time, why not?
The old lady looked at the bowl of soup in front of her and asked Feng Yu Heng with great interest, "What is this soup called?"
She replied, "Stone olive and dragon bone soup." In fact, there were many medicinal herbs that couldn't be found in the Dashun Dynasty. Things like olives couldn't be found in this era, but she had her own pharmacy space, so it wasn't a problem for her to bring out things from the future.
The old lady obviously didn't understand the name. She thought it was just for the sake of pleasing to the ears, so she asked, "Then what's its effect?" As he asked, he took a sip. As soon as it entered his mouth, he felt that it was sweet and fragrant. The fragrance of herbs and meat clashed together, leaving a rich aftertaste. The old lady couldn't help but drink a few more mouthfuls.
Feng Yu Heng saw that she liked to drink it and quickly explained: "Although this soup doesn't look amazing, this soup can moisturize the lungs and has a cooling and detoxifying effect. In Autumn, it's easy for people to get heaty. Using it to cool down is perfect. "
With her saying it like this, everyone felt that it was fresh, and they all picked up their spoons to taste it.
The Shen Clan could not help but praise Feng Yu Heng: "Heng Heng really is capable. Seeing you like this, mother can feel at ease. Thinking about it, when you marry into the Imperial Palace Yu, you won't be unable to handle the situation."
Feng Yu Heng smiled and used the shared chopsticks and spoons to distribute a piece of mutton to each of the women at the table. At the same time, she said: "Roasted mutton with angelica, when cooked, it's supplemented with angelica, raw ground and dates. It has a very good effect on the body. Eating it will cause a person's complexion to become rosy and lustrous. Not only will it make the skin more delicate, it will also make the skin appear rosy and full of elasticity."
When the women heard this, they quickly rushed to stuff the mutton into their mouths. They felt that the meat was tender and slightly sweet. It was a flavor that they had never tasted before.
Feng Yu Heng smiled and handed a bowl of white fungus and pigeon eggs to Feng Zi Hao: "Big brother, this dish was specially prepared for you."
"For me?" Feng Zi Hao snorted, "I'm not sick. I don't need to take medicine."
Feng Jin Yuan finally could not bear to continue listening. Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, he scolded: "Zi Hao, if you continue to cause trouble, scram back to Jian Ling pavilion!"
Feng Zi Hao feared his father the most. Upon hearing that his father was angry, he quickly shut his mouth and stared fixedly at the bowl of white fungus and pigeon eggs. He was practically certain that what Feng Yu Heng was about to say would not be anything good.
Sure enough, "White fungus and pigeon eggs, with the white fungus that nourishes the body and the pigeon eggs that replenish the kidneys and energy, along with the walnut kernels that help the body absorb energy, the combination of yin and yang is very good for big brother's body."
Feng Zi Hao's face turned red from what he had said, as he angrily pointed at Feng Yu Heng: "Are you or are you not a girl? You have the nerve to say this sort of thing! "
Feng Yu Heng was puzzled, "You have the nerve to say this sort of illness, so why should I be embarrassed to say it? Big brother, don't forget that this illness was first diagnosed by Heng Zheng. Doctors should not be afraid, so why can't I say it? "
Feng Jin Yuan's heart was filled with anger. This second daughter of his really did not let go of any opportunity to make him lose face! His only son of the first wife had become like this. Now, he was about to become the laughingstock of the capital.
The matriarch was also helpless. Feng Zi Hao having that illness was a fact. Even if he wanted to avoid it, he could not avoid it. It would be better to just eat some more of Feng Yu Heng's medicinal food. Perhaps he could recover a bit.
Thinking like this, she said to Zi Hao: "Your second sister is being kind. Quickly eat it! If it's really effective, then follow this recipe and have the kitchen make it every day! "
Feng Zi Hao's heart was filled with anger, but he did not dare disobey the matriarch. He could only grit his teeth and receive the bowl; however, he placed it to the side and did not even want to touch it.
Feng Jin Yuan glared at him and angrily said: "Evil creature!"
The Shen Clan quickly advised: "Zi Hao is not sensible. Husband, do not get angry with him. From this day forward, this concubine will definitely teach him well. This concubine trusts that Zi Hao will definitely change."
Feng Jin Yuan did not want to refute the Shen Clan's face. After all, her actions today had been very appropriate. He also truly hoped that the Shen Clan could continue to maintain this. They could then re-educate Zi Hao and allow him to understand how to deal with people. Thus he nodded and did not say anything else.
Feng Yu Heng looked at Chen Yu and found that Chen Yu had her head lowered the entire time. She did not speak, nor did she get close to the Shen Clan. Previously, she had been good at smoothing things over, but now, it was the Shen Clan's turn to do it. In regards to her brother being poked in the back, she did not react in the slightest.
The matriarch called for everyone to eat. She then said to Feng Yu Heng: "Introduce the other dishes."
Feng Yu Heng smiled and gave a simple introduction: "Cold tossed pig's heart with gastrodia elata, Chinese arborvitae, angelica and wild jujube. It helps with sleep and dispels fatigue. Assorted lotus root slices. It quenches thirst, dispels internal heat and replenishes qi and blood. Sesame paste mixed with shredded chicken. It replenishes the liver and kidneys.
She described each dish, causing everyone present to rush over to eat. Even Feng Jin Yuan was very interested.
Of these dishes, the majority of the medicine had been sent over from Hundred Herb Hall, but there were some special ingredients that she had secretly brought out from her space. There were also some that had been swapped out. For example, the ginseng in the ginseng chicken dish was a ginseng that had been in her space for 500 years. The effects were naturally much better than normal ginseng.
Han shi's health was not good to begin with. Hearing about the effects of these dishes, she could not help but eat a few more mouthfuls. Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but she truly felt that her strength had recovered by quite a bit. She also no longer felt as dizzy as she did before.
As for the Shen Clan, they had completely changed from the fierce image they had when eating. They ate in a refined manner. While eating, they endlessly praised the taste of the dishes. The matriarch ate even more happily. She did not even have time to speak.
But nobody could have imagined that as they ate, the Shen Clan would suddenly fall backward.
Feng Jin Yuan, who was sitting at her side, reacted quickly and subconsciously reached out to support her, but the Shen Clan was too heavy. This caused Feng Jin Yuan to fall to the ground as well.
Following this, for some reason, the Shen Clan's entire body began to twitch. A bit of white foam also began to come out of the corner of her mouth. After a while, she actually began to vomit.
Fen Dai felt disgusted and quickly retreated behind Han shi. She did not even want to look at the Shen Clan.
Everyone else was frozen in place. They could not understand why this sort of thing would happen while they were eating.
"Go call a doctor! Quickly go call a doctor! "The matriarch slammed her cane on the ground and shouted. Immediately, some servants ran out.
Just as everyone was in a fluster, Chen Yu, who was still sitting at the table, suddenly propped her head up with her hand. Her eyebrows furrowed together, as she weakly said: "My head hurts so much. What exactly is going on?"
Fen Dai suddenly said: "It shouldn't be because you took medicine, right?"
The matriarch was startled then immediately recalled the table full of food cooked with medicine. Her mind went blank. But when she felt her body's condition, she found that there was nothing out of the ordinary? Those dishes were very delicious, and she felt that they were very delicious. She even wanted to eat more.
Han shi was also puzzled and quietly muttered: "There shouldn't be any problems with the food cooked with medicine, right? It was quite effective when I ate it. "
"What do you understand?" Fen Dai quietly scolded her: "Don't speak nonsense."
But even if everyone felt that there was no problem with the food cooked with medicine, now that both the Shen Clan and Chen Yu had reacted, they had no choice but to be cautious. For a while, nobody dared to continue eating. Of course, they also could not continue eating because the Shen Clan was truly disgusted by the vomiting.
Some servants busily tidied up. Feng Jin Yuan took off his dirty outer robe and handed it to a servant. Not long later, a servant brought a new one over.
"So you wanted to poison us to death!" Feng Zi Hao began to cause trouble once more. This time, he was bold and confident, as he pointed at the Shen Clan on the ground and loudly said: "My mother just returned to the manor, yet you do this. Feng Yu Heng, what sort of intentions do you have?"
Feng Jin Yuan's expression also sank, as he coldly said: "Heng Heng, give father an explanation."
Feng Yu Heng blinked: "Everyone has already eaten. Do you think there is a problem?"
On this point, everyone was quite obedient. Aside from the Shen Clan, everyone else shook their heads.
The matriarch looked at everyone and said: "Servants! Go call the kitchen's manager! "
