Chapter 24 Medicinal Chicken Soup
…
For dinner, Mu Jiao made one of her best dishes from her previous life - medicinal chicken soup.
The ingredients prepared include a pheasant, red ginseng slices, poria cocos, astragalus, lily, wolfberry, jujube, ginger, and salt.
Pluck the pheasant, remove the internal organs, cut the chicken into pieces, soak it in cold water for more than ten minutes, remove the blood from the chicken, and then wash it again with cold water.
Put the chicken into the pot, add appropriate amount of water and bring to a boil over high heat.
Soak the herbs in cold water for about ten minutes, then remove them, wrap them, and place them in the pot. Pour the settled water in with the herbs, add some crushed ginger, and cover the pot. Cook over high heat until the chicken is fully cooked. Add some salt before serving.
The moment the lid of the pot was opened, the aroma filled the air. Mengmeng, the greedy little guy, had been squatting on the side waiting for a long time.
Mu Jiao had already changed Meng Meng's food bowl to a larger one, and filled it up as usual. After letting it cool down a bit, she served it to the impatient little fellow.
Mu Jiao discovered these past two days that Meng Meng obviously prefers to eat various processed medicinal materials and medicinal foods rather than simple barbecue and herbs.
As a qualified owner, in order to raise Mengmeng, the "bear master", Mu Jiao is always trying to figure out how to feed it to be plump and white.
After touching the little guy's soft fur, Mu Jiao scooped out a small bowl of chicken soup and set it aside, preparing to feed some to the unconscious man after finishing eating.
Medicinal chicken soup replenishes Qi and blood, making it the best choice for nourishing the body. Given the man's current condition, drinking some would be beneficial.
Moreover, Mu Jiao now has a vague guess that these Chinese medicinal herbs seem to be useful for gene collapse syndrome. Of course, all this still needs to be confirmed.
…
It was already completely dark outside. A day on this planet lasts about twenty hours, with shorter days and longer nights.
Mu Jiao brought the warm chicken soup and slowly fed it to the man with a spoon. Fortunately, although the man was unconscious, he could still swallow.
In her previous life, Mu Jiao's chicken soup would have been incredibly luxurious. Just the century-old red ginseng alone was a luxury even money couldn't buy, and the other herbs looked equally old.
Mu Jiao took the man's pulse before feeding him chicken soup. After feeding him, Mu Jiao washed the dishes, played with Meng Meng for a while, and coaxed it to sleep before going into the tent again to take the man's pulse. She wanted to confirm whether her guess was correct.
The result confirmed some of her previous speculations. Compared to the first time she took his pulse, this time Mu Jiao could clearly feel that the icy energy in the man's body had almost stagnated.
This suggests that the chicken soup she had just fed him had some effect.
Letting go of the man's hand, Mu Jiao thought she seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.
You must know that in this era, medicine has already developed to the point where even Western medicine has long been eliminated. "Western medicine" in this era only exists in ancient history textbooks. As for traditional Chinese medicine, no one knows about it at all, and the inheritance has been completely lost at some point.
Mu Jiao is still not sure whether Chinese medicine can only temporarily relieve the onset of gene collapse syndrome or can completely cure it.
But if Chinese medicine is really effective, then the man in front of him can at least be saved.
Everything is still unknown...
Seeing that the man's brows had obviously relaxed a lot, Mu Jiao covered him with a blanket, turned off the small light in the tent and walked out.
Mu Jiao temporarily placed the injured man in a tent to recuperate.
…
In his coma, Huo Qi felt as if he had fallen into a warm spring. Although his body was still colder than an ice cave, he felt that the warmth outside was quietly melting his ice cave, bit by bit...
Although slow and long, it is very powerful and full of vitality and hope.
What made him happiest was that the melted ice did not solidify again, but turned into drops of warm current...
He was still in the cold at this moment, but he had already seen a glimmer of hope.
Huo Qi's consciousness began to slowly regain consciousness, but he was unable to open his eyes.
At this moment, Huo Qi was clearly aware that he was not dead yet. He could once again feel the pain outside his body, as well as the bone-chilling cold brought by the onset of genetic collapse syndrome...
He actually survived, and even though he was clearly ill, he found that he could actually endure the pain brought by the bone-chilling cold, and his consciousness was still so clear at this moment...
Was it that girl who saved him? Was she a high-level light healer?
But that wasn't right. He was in the late stages of his genetic breakdown syndrome. Even a high-level light therapist wouldn't be able to alleviate his pain to such a great extent. Moreover, he had forcefully used his innate power and was almost dying...
