After just a long walk around the front and middle yards, Xu Damao still couldn't find out which family was making the Chinese medicine.
Helpless, Xu Damao could only scratch his head and return to the backyard.
As soon as he entered the backyard, Xu Damao couldn't help but sniff. The smell of Chinese medicine was actually stronger.
"Oh, this is really strange. Could it be in our backyard?" Xu Damao murmured in confusion.
Having taken Chinese medicine for a few days, he knew better than anyone how strong the smell of Chinese medicine was, and the smell in the house would not go away for a few days.
Out of curiosity, he first went to the second uncle's door to smell it, then went to the deaf old lady's door to smell it, and finally confirmed that the smell of Chinese medicine in the yard came from Chen Jun's house.
Considering that Wang Xia was in poor health before, Xu Damao knocked on the door and walked in.
"Chen Jun?"
After finding the source of the smell, Xu Damao asked, "Is anyone in your family feeling unwell?"
After saying that, Xu Damao saw steam rising from the iron pot on the stove.
Use an iron pot to boil Chinese medicine?
"No, a friend of mine was not feeling well, so I tried to make some medicinal food to see if it could help." Chen Jun replied.
Medicinal food?
Xu Damao raised his eyebrows and subconsciously thought that Chen Jun was talking nonsense. Can medicinal food cure diseases?
But then she thought about it and realized that Hou Guifang's throat had stopped itching after she had just smelled the scent. So she asked again, "Does your friend have a sore throat? Cough?"
"I guess so." Chen Jun said without turning his head. Mr. Liu had a chronic lung disease, so it should be a respiratory problem.
It’s true!
Xu Damao's eyes suddenly lit up and he felt like he had discovered a new world!
Can eating cure diseases?
If someone else told him this, Xu Damao would definitely think it was nonsense, but Chen Jun was different. He was really accomplished in cooking. It was Chen Jun who told him about the Nine-Layer Waist Tower. It really made one feel energetic after eating it.
But unfortunately, his problem was not whether he had enough strength or not, but that his weapon was broken by Jia Dongxu's kick, so the nine-layer waist tower could not solve his problem.
"Well, my wife has had a sore throat recently. Can you serve me a bowl later?" Xu Damao asked with a smile.
"Okay, I'll call you when it's ready!"
This pot of improved version of Adenophora and Ophiopogon soup was originally cooked for dinner at home. The portion was quite large, so it would be okay to give Xu Damao a bowl. It was a good opportunity to try and see if it worked.
"No, no, I'll just wait here."
Xu Damao didn't hesitate and simply pulled a chair over and sat at the kitchen door to wait.
It takes quite some time to cook a modified version of Adenophora and Ophiopogon soup, and it takes more than half an hour to prepare.
"If we use a casserole dish, the effect will definitely be better, but we don't have a casserole dish that big at home."
Xu Damao waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's all the same."
If you use a small casserole to cook it, he will definitely not have a share in the soup.
After saying that, Xu Damao happily went home to get the bowl.
After Chen Jun served the meal to his family, Xu Damao came over and served himself a bowl.
"Let me make it clear first, there are medicinal herbs in this, so it's hard to say how it tastes, and I'm not sure about its efficacy. It's probably not as effective as Western medicine." This was the first time Chen Jun made this kind of medicinal food, and he wasn't sure about its efficacy.
Xu Damao took a deep breath and felt that Chen Jun was being modest.
No matter how bad it tastes, can it be worse than Chinese medicine?
Moreover, Xu Damao thought the taste was quite fragrant.
"Let me try it for my wife first."
Xu Damao pursed his lips, picked up the bowl and took a sip without caring about the heat.
Um??
Why doesn’t it taste bitter and hard to swallow?
Xu Damao was stunned at first, and then he felt a fragrance spreading in his mouth. This fragrance was like freshly picked bamboo shoots, with a hint of sweetness, and then he could taste the aroma of meat.
When he was serving rice just now, he saw the spareribs in the pot, but he didn't feel comfortable taking them out. However, the aroma of the meat in the soup was still as good as before, and it was even more delicious than eating spareribs directly at home.
This bite immediately made Xu Damao excited, and he couldn't help but slurp two more mouthfuls.
"It tastes so good! This medicinal food is so delicious. Are there really medicinal ingredients in it?" Xu Damao asked with shining eyes.
"Of course I added it. Didn't you just follow the smell to find it?" Chen Jun patted Xu Damao's shoulder and said, "Send it to your wife quickly. I still have to cook two more dishes. Don't let the smoke get to you."
Xu Damao nodded, looked at the ribs in the pot with some reluctance, then walked out of the kitchen with the bowl.
Before he even reached home, Xu Damao couldn't wait to shout.
"Wife, wife, come and try it. Chen Jun made a medicinal meal that he said can cure diseases."
He was eager to know whether this medicinal food could cure the disease. If it could, wouldn't it be able to cure his own disease as well?
Although I don’t know if Chen Jun is good at this, it’s still a bit more hopeful.
Besides, this medicinal food tastes so good, it’s okay to eat it as a meal.
"What medicinal food, Damao? I have already prepared the meal. Why did you bring back a bowl from someone else's house?" Hou Guifang, who was waiting for Xu Damao to eat at home, felt a little resentful.
Because the dishes he cooked himself were not fragrant enough, Xu Damao actually went to other people's homes to beg for food.
If he wanted some fried meat or something, it would be fine, but he insisted on coming back for a bowl of rice.
"What do you know? This is medicine, the kind that can cure diseases. You have been coughing for several days, and this medicine can cure you." Xu Damao didn't care about anything and put the bowl in front of Hou Guifang.
"To treat illnesses?"
Hou Guifang looked at the rice in the bowl, then looked at Xu Damao, and was confused and moved for a moment.
What confused her was that she had never heard that food could cure illness.
What touched her was that Xu Damao actually felt sorry for her!
You have to know that Xu Damao has never cared about himself since before the two of them got married. Even after they got married, Xu Damao never cared much about his own health.
Even when he coughed a few nights ago, Xu Damao seemed a little impatient.
"Try it quickly. I asked Chen Jun for it specially. It's not bitter at all and tastes very good." Xu Damao urged.
"Um!"
Hou Guifang nodded with emotion, picked up the bowl and took a sip.
"Hey, it smells meaty and delicious!"
After just one sip, Hou Guifang realized how big the gap was between her cooking skills and Chen Jun's.
I can't stop at all!
Even though the rice was just served not long ago, Hou Guifang still drank it up mouthful after mouthful.
Looking at the food in front of him that was already dazzled by the light, Xu Damao swallowed silently.
He actually wanted to drink it, but he wanted to know more about whether this medicinal food was effective.
"Guifang, how is it?"
Hou Guifang pursed her lips and replied with a smile, "It tastes good."
"Who asked if you liked the drink? I was asking if your throat was okay and if you still wanted to cough?"
