Chapter 79 Secret Medicinal Diet
That night, no one slept well, except Feng Qi.
In the last second, Feng Qi said solemnly: "You guys go to sleep first, I'll watch over you."
The next second, she sighed, "This bed is so soft." Then she began to snore and slept soundly.
Zhong Jialing chuckled, "Sister Qi reminds me of a line from Zhao Benshan's skit, 'People who are heartless have really good sleep quality.'"
Everyone fell asleep while chatting and laughing. Luo Jiu woke up in the middle of the night and suddenly found that Cheng Yaoyao was not there.
She was about to call for help when she saw a note on the table that read, "I'm hungry, in space."
When Luo Jiu went in, she saw Cheng Yaoyao grilling meat. The delicious smell made her stomach growl immediately.
Cheng Yaoyao smiled and said, "You're awake too? It's time to eat now."
The fragrant pork belly is grilled until it sizzles with oil. Dip it in dry ingredients, add two slices of garlic, wrap it with fresh lettuce, and stuff it into your mouth.
"Hmm!" Luo Jiu gave a thumbs up, "Smells good!"
It has been busy these days and everyone is living in a dormitory, so they don't dare to stay in the room for too long.
There was no place to eat outside, so we had to take turns coming in for a quick snack.
Although I wasn't hungry, I couldn't really say I was enjoying the meal.
We happened to wake up in the middle of the night today, and the two of us gathered around the grill and ate half a pound of pork belly, half a pound of beef, a box of air-dried sausage, a plate of beef tongue, and drank a bottle of Fanta, finally satisfying our cravings.
Grandma got up in the middle of the night to make milk powder for Fubao. Seeing them eating these, she felt so distressed. "Oh, why didn't you wake me up? This is so dry. Grandma will cook you some hot hand-rolled noodles. You can sleep well after eating them."
Luo Jiu smiled and said, "Grandma, you should take a rest. You have to take care of Fubao and us at the same time. You are too tired."
"It's not hard. I feel very comfortable here. My waist and legs don't ache anymore, and my mind is clearer than before."
"Yeah?"
Luo Jiu and Cheng Yaoyao looked at each other. Could it be that this space has healing functions?
They didn't stay in the space for a long time, so they didn't feel anything, but after carefully looking at the changes in grandma, they found that her complexion was indeed very good.
Grandma added: "Fubao is not difficult to take care of. He is even more obedient than Yaoyao when she was a child. He can eat and sleep well, and he is growing very fast."
Luo Jiu's mind was filled with alarm. It's only been a few days, and he's already grown so fast? She immediately stood up to see what was wrong with the child.
Grandma followed in with a smile, "Look, he can drink from the bottle by himself without crying."
Luo Jiu looked at Fubao, who had grown a lot bigger, lying in the crib, staring with his little red eyes, holding the bottle in both hands, drinking milk in big gulps.
Luo Jiu looked at the scale on the bottle and asked, "Grandma, how many milliliters do you give her at a time?"
Grandma said proudly: "One bottle, a full bottle. Without it, she wouldn't have enough to drink and wouldn't go to sleep."
That bottle contains about 150 ml of milk. Normally, a newborn baby will drink at most 30 ml at a time in the first three days after birth.
In other words, Fubao eats five times as much as a normal baby.
Luo Jiu rubbed his temples and felt a little headache.
She secretly gave Fubao another shot while her grandma wasn't paying attention. Fortunately, the blood was still red. I hope she can just eat.
However, given her appetite, Luo Jiu felt that she had to go to the city to stock up on some milk powder when she had the chance, otherwise she was afraid that the child would eat people out of hunger.
After they had eaten, they came out and woke up Zhong Jialing and Feng Qi, and asked them to go in and eat barbecue.
After the four of them had eaten and drunk their fill, they lay down on the bed and had a good nap.
Knock knock knock!
The four of them were sleeping soundly when they were suddenly awakened by a rapid knock on the door.
Luo Jiu opened the door, and Marian said excitedly: "Annie is awake! She looks much better and told me she's hungry. Oh my God! Thank you!"
Marian was so happy that tears welled up in her eyes and she smiled and said, “I don’t know how to thank you. I’m a terrible wife and Ryan even fired all the maids.
It's a mess here now, and I can't do anything but pour the milk, which is for you."
She coughed twice and quickly put on her mask. "Please go see Annie again. I really hope she gets better."
Luo Jiu held the bottles of milk and comforted the flustered Marian: "Mrs. Jones, please relax. My assistant Miss Yaoyao will prepare the medicinal food in the kitchen. Please go upstairs to accompany Miss Anne. I will be there soon."
After seeing Marian off, Luo Jiu closed the door. The four of them excitedly grabbed each other's hands and screamed silently.
"The medicine worked! We are safe for now! The children can stay too!"
"That's great!" Cheng Yaoyao finally put her mind at ease. "But what should I do next? I don't know how to make medicinal food."
Luo Jiu said: "Just cook normally, and add some harmless Chinese medicinal herbs, such as tangerine peel. Isn't that just orange peel? It's okay to give her some.
By the way, add a cup of isatis root water and call it a Chinese medicine soup."
Luo Jiu quickly sorted out his thoughts, "Today, we will split into four groups.
Sister Qi, you are the boss now, and you have to continue going to the construction site to consolidate your power.
Yaoyao, the kitchen is our world now. You and the children are responsible for everyone's meals. There must be no trouble, otherwise Jones may change his mind.
Jialing, you should try to spend time with the children and teach them English from today. Maybe one day these children can change the world like us. "
Everyone worked separately. Luo Jiu took out the pills for treating tuberculosis, ground them into powder, wrapped them in paper, and made them look like Chinese medicine.
She took the medicine upstairs, and Anne looked much better. She could sit on the bed and talk, and she was conscious.
Luo Jiu pretended to take her pulse again and told the Joneses that Anne had passed the most dangerous time, but she still couldn't relax. She must take the secret medicine she prepared herself and take medicated food to get better slowly.
Of course, the Joneses had no doubts and had great trust in this miraculous oriental doctor who had come from nowhere.
After a while, Cheng Yaoyao brought up the "medicinal meal".
A bowl of spicy noodle soup with a poached egg and a piece of tangerine peel floating on the soup.
A cup of water boiled with Isatis root has a very strong taste.
Luo Jiu told them that this was carefully prepared according to Annie's condition. Although the taste might be a bit strong, it could cure her illness.
Annie was a very sensible child. She took a sip of the isatis root water right away, then dry-heaved for a long time, trying hard not to spit it out, and continued to drink the whole cup.
She almost thought the noodles would taste terrible, but she didn't expect that after taking a mouthful of noodles, her wrinkled face would relax immediately, and her dull eyes would light up, "It tastes great!"
Cheng Yaoyao smiled and said, "Eat all the noodles. You'll have the strength to get out of bed soon."
Annie rolled up a few noodles with her fork, nodded her head, and finally ate the whole bowl of noodles, chewing up the tangerine peel and swallowing it.
Luo Jiu gave her some medicine and asked her to rest for a while.
Marian cried with joy again. Jones also looked very happy. He quietly called Luo Jiu aside and asked, "When can you treat my wife?"
Luo Jiu rolled his eyes and said, "It's possible now, but Colonel Jones, you need to know that I'm far away from home and I don't have much medicine with me..."
"I know." Jones interrupted her and lowered his voice, "If there is only enough to treat two people, you only need to treat Anne and Marianne."
Luo Jiu hesitated for a moment, and suddenly realized that the guy in front of him who treated human life as worthless was actually a human being at times.
She quickly calculated the amount of stockpiled medicine in her mind. The treatment period for tuberculosis is not short, and usually requires taking the medicine for six to nine months.
If it is fed to three people, three meals a day for each person...it is enough.
Luo Jiu smiled and said, "What I mean is, can I go to the city to buy some medicine?"
