Chapter 1036 Sunflower
The Fang family prepared dumplings with three fresh fillings, sea cucumber, shrimp, and beef tenderloin, and the side dishes were baby cabbage. Apart from that, there were no other side dishes.
Bian Mu went to the kitchen to wash his hands, rolled up his shirt sleeves and helped to wrap them. The young master of the Lu family came to the dining table to chat with his mother for a few words and then went to the study to do homework.
A very sensible child.
"Besides dumplings, what other dishes have you prepared?" Bian Mu asked casually.
"She has been ill for so many years, and we really don't have the mood to cook. Alas! Usually we can't get up an appetite at all... Sometimes, we really have no appetite, so we also order takeout, hehe... We have almost forgotten the basic process of cooking, so we just prepared some lotus root, beef, celery and dried tofu, what's wrong?" Professor Shen asked with a smile while rolling the dumpling skin.
"Your daughter can't eat seafood. Although today is a big day, she still needs to pay attention to some aspects! It's not the same as other ordinary patients...Ms. Fang's vitality is seriously damaged, seafood is a taboo, remember this, remember!" While making dumplings, Bian Mu solemnly reminded her a few words.
"Oh! Then... let's eat dumplings later, Aju! I'm sorry! I can only give you some dragon beard noodles." Professor Shen apologized to his daughter with a smile on his face.
"I'm so lucky to be back home. Why should I be picky about food! Mom! In our home, I feel sweet when I drink cold water." Ms. Fang's tone and way of speaking suddenly changed. If a stranger stood there at this moment, he would never dream that this dignified and beautiful lady in front of him was once a seriously ill "madman".
"Why not do this... Don't you have beef at home? And some carrots, preferably yellow ones, which taste sweet, and some dried tofu, and I'll make the stuffing, how about it?" Bian Mu suggested with a smile.
At this time, Professor Fang interrupted: "There is plenty of raw beef. We are used to eating beef. There is enough dried tofu, but there is no yellow carrots like you mentioned. You guys pack them first, I will go to the street to buy some. In addition... Doctor Bian! If there is anything else you need, I will buy it back." As he spoke, he took off his apron and prepared to go to the street.
"That's fine... You'd better pick some good sunflowers. If you don't know anything about it, just ask the friendly boss. It's best to choose a female stall owner. You should buy them raw, not fried. The size doesn't matter. The bigger the sunflower seeds inside, the better. It would be even better if you can buy those that have been harvested from the fields recently. In addition... go to the best pharmacy nearby to buy some angelica, codonopsis, and wolfberry. As for the dosage... 100g of angelica, 200g of codonopsis, and wolfberry... buy three pounds first, choose the best. In addition, buy some large-grain salt, the kind used for pickling pickles and frying melon seeds. It's best to buy the large-grain salt from Qingyun County. Do you remember it? Otherwise... I'll help you make a list?" Bian Mu smiled and gave a few instructions.
Upon hearing this, Professor Fang immediately realized that Bian Mu must have a deeper meaning for making such an arrangement.
"You are really getting old, and you are getting worse every year. Then I'll trouble Dr. Bian to give you a list to avoid further delays." After saying that, Professor Fang went to the study to get paper and pen and placed them on a small coffee table not far away.
Bian Mu walked to the coffee table and wrote and drew to make a list.
Professor Fang said a few polite words to Bian Mu, picked up the shopping cart and hurried downstairs to go shopping.
The young master of the Lu family was doing his homework in the study. The Fang family was not small, and the study was still some distance away from the restaurant. If Bian Mu deliberately lowered his voice to explain something, the young master of the Lu family would not be able to hear anything even if he wanted to eavesdrop.
"I have to explain something. From now on, that is to say, your daughter will have to take sunflowers for life, and the medicinal sunflowers she will use in the future can only be fried and eaten by herself. I will demonstrate the specific process later. Remember! You can't live without this thing for the rest of your life. To make an inappropriate analogy, this is like a hypothyroid patient who has to take Euthyrox for life. You two must keep it in mind and don't be careless!" Bian Mu lowered his voice and repeatedly reminded them.
Seeing that Bian Mu was serious, the mother and daughter nodded seriously, indicating that they would follow Bian Mu's advice and would not dare to slack off.
"In addition, starting tomorrow, Ms. Fang! Unless it is absolutely necessary, you'd better not go out, just stay at home. From noon to 2:30 in the afternoon, there are probably not many people in the community and the park during this period. You two might as well go outdoors with an umbrella for about an hour and a half. The only purpose is to bask in the sun. Since your early illness was too serious, I had no choice but to choose this awkward time period for you. Where to bask in the sun? The back, the back of the heart, the central axis of the spine... You two are smart people, you can choose where to sit and bask in the sun! After all, you are a lady, so a parasol is definitely indispensable. As long as the back is exposed to the sun, it's fine. As for me... I suggest you rent a cruise ship and bask in the lake. On the one hand, it will not burn the skin, and on the other hand, the yin and yang complement each other, and the therapeutic effect is better." As he spoke, Bian Mu had already wrapped a lot of dumplings with extremely skillful techniques.
The mother and daughter never dreamed that Bian Mu's cooking skills were so strong. They looked at each other in surprise.
"I understand! This is a life-threatening matter. We must follow the doctor's advice." Professor Shen responded with a smile.
The three were chatting there, and Professor Fang hurried back. It was okay. He bought everything Bian Mu wanted.
Bian Mu invited the three people into the kitchen directly, set up an iron wok and stir-fried the big blue salt first, then put in angelica and codonopsis and stir-fried them for a while, and then chose a proper amount of sunflower seeds and threw them in...
Bian Mu waited until the sunflowers had a faint aroma before he put the wolfberries in and stir-fried them together.
"Don't put the wolfberries in too early, or they will become ineffective. Smell it, it's the faint aroma of melon seeds. When it starts to smell, put the wolfberries in directly. Please see, the wolfberries cannot be fried too long, otherwise they will become ineffective. Just look at the color. Turn off the fire immediately if you notice a change in color." After saying that, Bian Mu turned off the gas switch.
"This kind of thing can't be eaten hot. In Chinese medicine, we emphasize the use of hot medicines cold and cold medicines hot. I'll tell you in detail when I have the chance. Ms. Fang, you have just been discharged from the hospital and your physical strength has not yet recovered. Why don't you go to the study to accompany the young master? Professor Fang, Professor Shen, you guys wrap your own things, and I'll make some stuffing suitable for Ms. Fang. You have to do it the same way in the future. Other stuffings, I think... are not suitable for Ms. Fang to eat within three years." After that, Bian Mu "invited" the three people out of the kitchen, and he himself skillfully began to re-mix the dumpling stuffing at the stove.
...
A group of five people sat around the dining table and ate dumplings. Everyone talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very warm.
Bian Mu had to go to the outpatient clinic in the afternoon, so he couldn't stay at Fang's house for a long time. He felt that he was 70% full, so he got up and said goodbye.
Ms. Fang was grateful for Bian Mu's life-saving grace and insisted on sending him to the taxi.
Bian Mu did not rush to stop a car. Instead, he invited Ms. Fang to a small teahouse across the street and found a secluded seat. He had something important to tell her.
