Chapter 68: Chinese Herbal Tea
Ye Shuyi had just returned from Ye Ji Gourmet when she saw an old lady sitting at the door of Xiangjiang Kitchen and refusing to leave.
"Sister, are you encountering any difficulties?" Ye Shuyi asked.
The elder sister looked at her and said, "I came here to look for my relatives, but my money was stolen. Can you give me something to eat or drink?"
The eldest sister was about thirty years old, and her clothes were somewhat strange. She wore a navy blue robe, her long hair was tied up, and her eyebrows and eyes were heroic.
Just like an ancient Taoist priest.
"Sure, please come in, big sister." Ye Shuyi said.
As soon as she entered, Ye Shuyi asked the waiter to serve her a cup of hand-brewed lemon green tea, a plate of salt-baked hand-shredded chicken, and a bowl of farm-style white rice.
It’s not very rich, but it goes well with rice and is enough to soothe the stomach of a tired person.
The elder sister in the navy blue robe didn't bother to be polite with her. She seemed to be really tired and finished a bowl of rice in a few bites.
She also called the waiter to add another bowl.
The clerk did as he was told.
A bowl of rice was brought over and she continued to eat.
In a few bites, he finished it.
"Pretty girl, one more bowl please," she called.
"good."
The third bowl came.
She finished her meal quickly and asked for a fourth bowl.
The clerk began to look at her with admiration.
If you eat three bowls in a row, you are a hero.
But it didn't stop there.
The fourth bowl is finished.
The fifth bowl.
The sixth bowl.
Finished eating.
When she raised her hand again, the clerk asked with concern, "Pretty girl, are you really still hungry? Don't force yourself, it's not good for your stomach."
"I'm not full yet! Add more." said the eldest sister.
"Okay then."
The waiter didn't refuse to serve her food just because she ate a lot. After all, it was the boss who asked her to come in and eat.
Seeing that the salt-baked hand-shredded chicken was almost finished, the waiter went to the kitchen and brought out a plate of roast goose.
Roasted Goose King is made by removing the head and wings of a roasted goose and roasting it. The belly is marinated with sauce, giving it a rich flavor. The roasted goose has a bright red skin, rich and fragrant meat, and a crispy and fragrant flavor. Take a bite and the delicious juices of the roasted goose will flow out, filling your taste buds.
Paired with the soul-boosting sour plum juice, it’s simply too blissful.
The woman in the robe took a bite and immediately closed her eyes to savor the taste: "The meat is tender and the bones are fragrant, fatty but not greasy, wonderful!"
She ate four more bowls.
People around her could hear her constantly asking for more rice.
They all looked at him sideways and thought to themselves: You are here to have a meal to fill your stomach, not to participate in a competitive eating contest.
But that’s not important. What’s important is, how can she eat so much?
The belly doesn’t look bulging at all!
The woman ate ten bowls of rice.
More to add.
Ye Shuyi just came out of the kitchen, and the waiter briefly described the situation.
After hearing this, Ye Shuyi was also amazed.
This woman in a long robe and tied hair is really extraordinary.
"Sister Shuyi, she said it's not enough. Do you want to give her more?" asked the clerk.
"Do you think the manager will give her extra food? She's eating and drinking for free. If it were me, I would definitely not agree and would kick her out." said one person.
"That's right! Even if your appetite is really that big, how can you eat so much without paying? Two bowls of rice are enough." One person responded.
Ye Shuyi, however, was quite interested and didn't think there was anything wrong with the other person's behavior. She waved her hand and said, "Serve her two more dishes: Baked lobster with sauce and braised pork with taro."
"If she wants more rice, add more until she is satisfied."
The clerk did as he was told.
In the end, the mysterious lady ate thirteen bowls of rice and four big dishes before she burped.
"I haven't eaten so full in a long time." She smiled and said with satisfaction.
"Big sister has a good appetite." Ye Shuyi sat opposite her. "Do you like the food in this little shop?"
"Well, the salt-baked hand-shredded chicken is savory, fragrant and delicious, the roast goose has crispy skin and tender meat, the sauce-baked lobster is chewy and sweet, and the taro braised pork is fat but not greasy. Any one of them is a top-notch delicacy." The woman praised generously.
"That's good. Sister, you came here to look for your relatives. Did you find them? Your wallet was stolen. Did you call the police?" Ye Shuyi asked casually.
"If I had been found, I wouldn't be here. I would have gone to my nephew's house for dinner. I didn't call the police. Eating is more important." This answer was quite optimistic. She was touching her belly.
"Well, aren't you in a hurry?" Ye Shuyi asked curiously.
"No rush, I don't have much money anyway. Let me sit down and digest my food. Beautiful girl, thank you so much for what I did just now. You are so kind!" she said.
"It's not easy for anyone to be away from home. I'm just helping out." Ye Shuyi waved her hand.
"As for me, I have no money left. But since you run a restaurant, why don't I contribute a prescription to your store?" the woman said seriously.
"Ah? A prescription?"
Their store doesn’t sell medicine, so what is the need for a pharmacy?
Can it cure all diseases? Can it ensure safety?
"Yes, it's a prescription, a Chinese herbal medicine formula." The woman confirmed, "I see your store has a complete range, with dishes, milk tea, sweet soup, and desserts and cakes."
"Do you want to expand your business?" the woman asked.
"Expand Chinese medicine? But I don't know medical skills. Our store is mainly a place to eat." Ye Shuyi didn't understand.
The woman, holding her belly like a pregnant woman, walked around the table and stopped to say, "You know about herbal tea, right? The roast duck and barbecued pork in your shop are very hot. Hong Kong Island is hot and humid, so herbal tea is perfect to neutralize it."
As soon as these words came out, Ye Shuyi's mind immediately opened up and she understood what she was going to say.
"That's right! We also sell barbecue in the evening! Barbecue is also hot... If you have herbal tea, wouldn't that be perfect?"
Why hadn't she thought of this before?
"Right? You think it's suitable too. Why don't I teach you how to make herbal tea? Just consider it as paying you back for your meal." said the woman in the long robe.
"Not bad, not bad!" Ye Shuyi nodded, agreeing very much.
When the guest feels hot, he can drink a cup of cold tea to dispel dampness.
Herbal tea has many benefits. Strictly speaking, it is a kind of Chinese medicine and is made by boiling Chinese herbs.
If you have recently suffered from insomnia, cold, sore throat, irregular menstruation, cough, gastrointestinal discomfort, constipation, acne and other symptoms, you can drink herbal tea.
Different herbal teas are good, and after being mixed in a certain proportion, they can achieve different effects.
There is an old saying: Herbal tea cures all diseases.
Ye Shuyi continued to communicate with the woman in the long gown and found out that she was born into a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. The mysterious old Chinese medicine practitioner Hong Enping in Hong Kong was her great uncle.
It is rumored that Hong Enping can cure any disease and can even bring back a person from the brink of death.
However, the old Chinese doctor is not in Lingyaotang for a long time, so those who come to see him for treatment need to provide their birth date and time.
If you are destined to meet, then watch it.
No chance, no watching.
"Ms. Hong, why did you run out? Are you looking for your uncle?" Ye Shuyi asked.
"No. Our family has a tradition that when you turn 30, you must go out to travel and save people. Otherwise, you will not be allowed to go home." Hong Shiqiong said helplessly.
Medical books are just books after all. Only when you actually come into contact with patients and apply what you learn in the books to the treatment of diseases can you be considered to have learned the medical skills well.
