Making medicinal food is no easy task; it requires a long cooking time to blend the medicinal properties of the herbs with the food, while also ensuring it tastes good. This is especially true given Commander He's physical condition, which means he can only eat soft, easily digestible food, so the cooking time will be even longer.
Song Yun calculated the time and half an hour before the medicinal food was ready, she took a stomach-nourishing pill and gave it to Chief He, asking him to take it in advance. The medicinal properties of the pill and the medicinal food complement each other, which can not only reduce the stimulation of food on the stomach and cause vomiting, but also promote the recovery of gastric motility, forming a virtuous cycle.
After Chief He took the pill, he immediately felt a significant relief from the pain in his stomach. He touched his stomach and sighed, "I haven't felt this comfortable in a long time."
Li Maozhong and Fu Hang showed joy on their faces when they heard this, and looked forward to the medicinal food even more.
Half an hour later, the medicinal food was finally served.
Aunt Rong directly brought the medicine jar containing the medicinal food to the table and served a bowl to Chief He in a small bowl.
The three of them looked at the bowl together, only to see that the color of the food in the bowl was really not good-looking, a dark brown paste that was indescribable.
However, it doesn't smell like medicine, but rather has a faint fragrance.
Song Yun said, "This medicinal food is called Eight Treasures Yam Soup. It's made by boiling eight stomach-nourishing herbs together with yam. It shouldn't taste bad, but it won't be particularly unpalatable either. Just think of it as medicine."
Chief He picked up the small bowl, scooped a spoonful of the paste into his mouth and tasted it. It tasted much better than he had imagined. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "If the medicine is this delicious, I can eat eight bowls a day."
Aunt Rong, who had been feeling uneasy, finally smiled slightly when she heard what Chief He said, and her worries gradually subsided.
Chief He ate the porridge spoonful by spoonful and quickly finished a small bowl of it. After finishing it, he still felt a little unsatisfied. This thing looked not very good and tasted very sticky, but it was really comfortable. Now his whole stomach was warm.
"Another bowl, please." said Chief He.
Aunt Rong didn't move, but turned her head to look at Song Yun.
Song Yun said, "You can't eat so much at once now. You need to eat small meals frequently. If you don't vomit after an hour, you can eat another small bowl."
Upon hearing this, Li Maozhong made another request, "Then why don't you just stay here and have dinner. If the leader vomits later, you can go and see what happens."
Although Song Yun was certain that Commander He would not vomit, she could not bring herself to say it out loud. She could only nod and agree, "Okay."
Aunt Rong was preparing dinner. Song Yun thought that there were suddenly three more mouths to feed and it was getting late. Aunt Rong was afraid that she could not handle it alone, so she went to the kitchen to help.
Aunt Rong is a good cook, so Song Yun helps her. The meal is ready very quickly, with four dishes and a soup.
When the meal was served, exactly an hour had passed. Song Yun went upstairs to call them down to eat and asked about Chief He's situation.
As soon as I entered the study, I saw Chief He eating the medicinal food with a smile on his face.
Without waiting for Song Yun to ask, Li Maozhong excitedly said, "Song Zhizhi, you are this." He gave Song Yun a thumbs-up. "The commander didn't vomit, not even feel nauseous. He was lumbering for an hour and said he felt hungry and wanted to eat something, so I poured him another bowl."
Song Yun nodded, "Okay then. Why don't you go downstairs and eat? The food is ready. Let's eat together."
Chief He was in a particularly good mood that day and immediately agreed, "Then let's eat together."
Li Maozhong hurriedly supported Chief He, while Fu Hang picked up Chief He's bowl, and the four of them went downstairs together.
