Chapter 125: Chapter 125 Medicinal Food Recipes
“Done, don’t spend all day dreaming up nonsense, or I’ll send you straight home,” Xia Chuyi scolded him lightly.
Zhao Xiaogui pouted, his face full of grievance.
She shook her head and could only say, “Fine, no need to stay tomorrow either. When the braised food is ready, I’ll serve you a big bowl first. How’s that?”
A single sentence indeed brightened Zhao Xiaogui’s expression.
“Sister, you’ve got a deal!” Zhao Xiaogui clapped his hands and called out.
Seeing Zhao Xiaogui dance with joy, Xia Chuyi shook her head again.
“Aren’t you tired at all?” she couldn’t help asking.
Honestly, if she hadn’t had some extra rest in her space, she would have been exhausted long ago.
In her previous life, although she ran her own restaurant, she had staff to help out with her private kitchen menu, and she cooked whatever she felt like based on her mood, so it wasn’t tiring.
Now, making these basic braised foods from dawn till dusk was exhausting.
No wonder they say the food industry is indeed profitable but also truly exhausting.
Zhao Xiaogui shook his head like a rattle: “Not tired, not tired at all, nothing’s more tiring than studying!”
Mental fatigue, generational gap.
“Just work hard, and during New Year’s, I’ll give you a big red envelope as New Year’s money,” Xia Chuyi said.
“Really, sister? That’s great!” Cousin Zhao cheered.
Not sure whether it was the allure of the braised food or the charm of a little money, but in the afternoon, Zhao Xiaogui was particularly ecstatic, working hard and vigorously.
Looking at the potfuls of freshly washed ingredients, his eyes shone as if he saw delicious braised food and shimmering red envelopes.
Working was tiring, but thinking about the money to be made brought a little excitement.
However, his excitement wore him out, bustling around until he collapsed from fatigue.
Come mealtime, as Zhao Xiaogui looked at the feast Xia Chuyi had prepared, he watered at the mouth and teared up, his hands trembling as he reached for the food.
Thud, a meatball fell.
“Waaaah, I can’t live !” Zhao Xiaogui threw down his chopsticks in outrage, his eyes brimming with tears.
With delicious food in front but unable to use his hands, it was a human tragedy!
Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but chuckle, then handed him a spoon, saying, “Use this instead!”
Although the spoon was much more convenient, Zhao Xiaogui found it effeminate and was quite displeased. Fortunately, the delicious dishes comforted him, and soon he was eating happily with lip-smacking sounds.
Watching her cousin’s way of eating, Xia Chuyi felt quite moved.
Only children born into happy families can be so carefree.
In this life, she would definitely protect her uncle’s family and let her cousin continue to be happy.
Thinking it over, Xia Chuyi headed to the kitchen.
In the past few days, there were only two people in the shop, herself and Zhao Xiaogui. Strictly speaking, both were still quite young, and their bodies naturally felt some fatigue.
So she planned to prepare a Medicinal Food to relieve fatigue and let Zhao Xiaogui give it a try.
Speaking of which, the Heavenly Book Recipe had various functions, not only common ones like relieving fatigue, enhancing physique, beautifying, and nourishing—there were even recipes for direct treatment of certain diseases!
Besides, the most interesting thing was that there were even poisonous diets. Yes, the kind that could cause hives, make your body weak, cause blindness and deafness, and the like.
On the recipe, it was specifically noted that the effects were quite good.
Medicinal Food, she had tried it herself, but only just tasted and was satisfied knowing the flavor. She never verified the actual effects.
Today, she happened to be able to make and test it.
If the positive effects worked, then the negative effects likely worked, too.
