    76. Sweet pears and jujubes

    He Qi was dumbfounded by Lou Yefeng's question, why did he send a meal and then send something wrong?

    Fortunately, he is not an ordinary person after all, the first thing is to trust Lou Yefeng's judgment, thinking that if what he said is correct, then these medicinal meals should be made by the master.

    Then he immediately realized that someone might have deliberately concealed the matter.However, it was Jiang Xue who passed on the words to him. Jiang Xue's child is relatively weak, and there is basically no possibility of deceiving him deliberately, so she can only do what the master asked her to do.

    So He Qi immediately dumped the pot:

    "When Jiang Xue brought it to me, she said it was made by the big kitchen. How do I know what's going on?"

    And Lou Yefeng naturally reacted.He recalled that after his master had taken his pulse last night, he was more eager to dismiss him... Presumably he got up secretly to make these medicinal meals.

    Lou Yefeng had mixed feelings for a while.

    He didn't know that the master was so attentive to him, that he was eager to try such a method that was heard and not necessarily useful.

    Lou Yefeng has secretly liked his master for a long time, so he naturally knows that such a gentle and meticulous heart is different from the master's casual teasing of him.

    However, after so many years, Lou Yefeng has always cared for his master in every detail, protecting and taking care of his master meticulously, but the master only respects and trusts him.

    Now that the master is paying so much attention to him, Lou Yefeng felt a little at a loss for a while.

    What's more, the master actually cut his hands in order to make these medicinal meals for him. This is really... How can Lou Yefeng afford it.

    On the other hand, He Qi, who came back from the palace, asked for leave and went to sleep, and hadn't heard about the medicinal diet.Looking at these ten exquisite small pots at this time, couldn't help being a little curious, and urged:

    "Hey, old building, you eat it, and let me see the craftsmanship of the master."

    "Ok."

    Lou Yefeng agreed, looked at the label above, and stated the order: Soup—Congee—Dish—Dish—Noodles—Dish—Dish—Noodles—Congee—Soup.

    Lou Yefeng: "..."

    It really looks like the owner's style.

    So he took out all the warm dishes and bowls in the pot.First, he casually opened one of the bowls of soup.The soup was served in a small white porcelain cup, but it was only the size of a handful, and there was a small sign beside it that read: Snowflake Black Chicken Soup.

    After he lifted the lid, a smell of chicken came over his face.In the middle of the white porcelain cup lay a piece of black and shiny black-bone chicken, which was naturally the most tender part of the drumstick.And around the chicken, there are several complete meals of snow lotus from the Western Regions.

    Under the snow lotus and soup, there is a light layer of crystal clear barley.The main color is white against black, and there are a few red goji berries floating in the soup and a few pieces of milky white fat ginseng. Besides, there are some herbs that Ye Feng has never seen before.

    There are about three or four kinds of medicinal materials, but this soup does not smell its bitterness.Gain was covered by the ginger and scallion in the soup, and it smelled like a bowl of fresh chicken soup, with only a very faint hint of medicinal fragrance sinking under the taste, which added a bit of weight.

    He Qi glanced at it, and recognized that the snow lotus inside was naturally the best batch in the mansion, and couldn't help but feel a little sour:

    "Master really treats you very well."

    Lou Yefeng didn't answer, just sighed softly.

    He drank most of the small bowl of soup, and then opened the next bowl - Poria cocos and ginseng porridge.

    This porridge is made of diced poria cocos and ground ginseng, which can be cooked directly into the porridge.However, Pei Nianyu seemed to be afraid that it would be too bitter, so he added another spoonful of date paste, directly dyeing a bowl of white porridge into light pink.

    The date paste was made by Pei Nianyu's hands with a little bit of red dates, but he didn't dare to add more for fear of conflicting medicinal properties, so he added brown sugar to sweeten it.

    The porridge was quite bitter, but when Lou Yefeng spooned it in, he felt that the pure jujube sweetness very softly diluted the bitterness of the medicinal materials.

    He tasted the sweetness, but couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart.

    Such delicate and gentle intentions, such skillful and exquisite seasoning must be done by the owner, how could those people in the palace kitchen make it?

    Lou Yefeng looked at the medicinal meals prepared by the master for him, and his eating speed suddenly slowed down a lot, as if he was reluctant to eat all the master's heart at once.

    He Qi watched eagerly, and after Lou Yefeng ate two dishes, he reminded him expectantly:

    "It's time to eat the staple food!"

    "…………understood."

    Lou Yefeng opened the bamboo steamer where the noodles were, and there were two palm-sized pieces of warm yellow plum date almond cake lying inside.

    The base color of the pancake was a slightly milky yellowish color, which was obviously added with eggs.The two sides are slightly bulging, while the skin is slightly burnt by frying, and there are many scattered and rich almond slices in the dough.

    The pancakes were very hot, and the aroma of eggs, wheat and almonds was perfectly fried. It was not like a staple food, but a dessert.

    The dates used here are still brown sugar date paste.Lou Yefeng was wondering where Zao was, but when he picked up the pancake and took a bite, He Qi, who was sitting opposite him, was instantly speechless.

    Because his dear master actually drew a heart shape with pink date paste on the back of the cake...

    He Qi watched Lou Yefeng gnaw on the cake without knowing it, and suddenly his heart and stomach started to boil sour water.So he decided not to remind Lou Yefeng of this matter.

    After Lou Yefeng ate half of it and bit into the jujube paste, he realized that there was another mystery behind it.However, when he turned the pancake over to look at it, he had already gnawed off the upper half of the heart shape, so it was impossible to tell what it was.

    He Qi immediately took pleasure in his misfortune.

    Lou Yefeng: "...Why are you smiling so maliciously?"

    He Qi continued to laugh: "It's none of your business."

    However, although the pots of these medicinal meals are small, there are many types after all.Lou Yefeng felt full after eating more than half of each pot, so he said with a sad face:

    "I think I can't eat anymore, what should I do?"

    Although He Qi really wanted to say that if you can’t eat it, let me eat it. I don’t dislike the leftovers you ate, but he held back and pointed to the instructions on the tray:

    “Be sure to eat it all”

    Lou Yefeng had to work hard to clean every pot.Generally speaking, it is enough for a shadow guard to eat only six to seven percent full, because eating too much will affect the speed of thinking and even the efficiency of movement.

    As the number one shadow guard who has received good training, Lou Yefeng has always maintained this self-discipline habit. This is the first time he feels his stomach is about to bulge after eating...

    But right after that, he didn't worry any more, because he suddenly felt a faint heat in his dantian, which gradually moved away in his meridians.Surprised in his heart, he quickly said:

    "I'm going to practice, Old He, you go out and play."

    He Qi nodded:

    "I'll send two people to protect you."

    He didn't say that he was here to help watch, after all, he had to guard the master's bedroom.Lou Yefeng naturally knew what he meant, hummed, and immediately sat cross-legged on the couch, using his inner strength and mind.

    ………………

    An hour later, the sky was bright, and Lou Yefeng also finished practicing.After he spent a little time in his internal energy, he breathed out and slowly opened his eyes, his eyes suddenly became deep.

    He never expected that the master's medicinal diet would be so effective for his practice!

    The practice of inner strength refers to arouse the true energy, and follow the route and method of the inner strength method to continuously wander in the body.And after wandering, the part that can be stored in the dantian can be considered as one's own internal force.

    The part that can be stored is naturally extremely small, otherwise there would not be so many people who practice martial arts, and most of them take years to qualify as beginners.

    Lou Yefeng's talent is different from that of ordinary people. If an ordinary person circulates his zhenqi for a week and can store one-thousandth of it as his own, then Lou Yefeng can store almost one-twentieth of it as his own.

    That's why Lou Yefeng knew that he could recover all his internal strength in the end.Because his meridians have been broadened, there is no hindrance to the operation of his internal force, so when he rebuilds his internal force, this ratio can almost reach one-tenth.

    Lou Yefeng's practice speed is already shocking.However, after he ate the medicinal food just now, under the action of the medicinal power, this ratio unexpectedly reached four tenths or even more.

    He originally thought that even if the medicinal diet was useful, it was only a slight benefit, but he never expected that the improvement speed of this medicinal diet... actually directly increased his practice speed by three or four times!

    And he felt it clearly, this is to help the practice of inner strength by increasing the retention ratio of inner strength when it is in operation, not those evil methods in the Jianghu that overdraw the vitality, which are only beneficial to the body and have no harm at all.

    Where did his master find this method?

    Lou Yefeng was secretly startled.For such a miraculous technique, he was afraid that the master would exchange it for something very important, then he would really be ashamed of it.(Of course he doesn't know, this is what his master exchanged for the gluttons of the officials at the Winter Solstice Banquet.)

    He calmed down the churning inner breath again... Ever since he lost his martial arts, he hadn't felt such a feeling for a long time.After calculating the time, it was almost time for the master to get up, so he landed conveniently, adjusted his appearance, and went to the main hall of Hanqiu Pavilion.

    ………………

    However, in Hanqiu Pavilion.

    Pei Nianyu actually woke up more than half an hour earlier.Without him, he turned on the system last night to study the formula of medicinal food, and forgot to turn off the system interface before going to bed.

    So just now when Ye Feng of his family ate and practiced, he was pleased to mention that the value of the food was credited to the account, and the long series of dense clanging sounds woke him up immediately.

    Pei Nianyu: "..."

    He opened his sleepy eyelids to see what was going on, but found that the value of the delicious food he got up in the morning was much more than before, and it was nearly 3,000 in just a short while.

    Then he saw the small envelope icon on the upper right corner blinking, and he clicked on it, and it was a notification from the system:

    "During your sleeping period, Lou Yefeng, a user of the medicated diet, recovered his sub-healthy body and increased his internal strength by eating the medicated diet."

    "According to the degree of efficacy of the medicinal diet, it will provide you with corresponding food value."

    Pei Nianyu was so angry when he got up just now, he even recited a sentence in his heart:

    Baby system, love you so much.

    Pei Nianyu quickly made a calculation. Old building's full set of health-care herbal diet is only worth about 120,000 food value if you buy it without discount. If you eat it every day, it will provide thousands of food value a day.As long as you eat for more than 20 days, you will make a net profit after that...

    It is more profitable than trading without capital!

    That is to say, in addition to making the delicious food spread more widely, he can also achieve this goal by giving other people medicinal food recipes.

    Thinking of making money, Pei Nianyu suddenly woke up, put on his clothes and got up, and started writing a note to his brother, while pulling out the medicinal food mall to see which prescriptions would be better for his brother.

    While watching, the door was suddenly pushed open.

    Lou Yefeng entered the room and saw that the owner had got up and was sitting at the table pouring tea and meditating, he couldn't help being surprised.He secretly thought that he was really late, why didn't he even wait for the master to get up and wash up in time.

    He walked quickly to the side of his master, but he saw that the master was still thinking and ignored him.He couldn't help being even more startled, thinking that the master had secretly annoyed him, so panicked, he knelt down beside the master.

    Pei Nianyu was looking at the medicinal recipe dizzily, who would have thought of a figure kneeling beside him, followed by an uncertain "Master", which brought him back to his senses.

    Pei Nianyu looked at the person beside him, very surprised:

    "Ye Feng? What are you doing?"

    "Subordinates..."

    Lou Yefeng suddenly became embarrassed, the co-author was distracted just now.

    So he faltered twice, and simply said:

    "My subordinates thank the master for taking the time to make medicine."

    Pei Nianyu: "..."

    No, where is the secret??

    Lou Yefeng then talked about the gold thread and the bloodstain.Pei Nianyu was at a loss:

    "When did I cut my finger while cooking..."

    Pei Nianyu then explained to Ye Feng, and took out his hand to show Lou Yefeng, saying that there was nothing wrong with it.Lou Yefeng calmly and lightly took the master's hands, and looked at it carefully.

    After thinking for a moment, he suddenly said:

    "Lian Xiao! This guy! Destroy my good deeds!"

    Pei Nianyu gritted his teeth, secretly thinking about how to punish this guy.

    Lou Yefeng couldn't help but fell silent when he saw his master was angry with Lian Xiao's fanciful tip-off.He let go of Pei Nianyu's hands, lowered his head, a little sullen:

    "Master, why don't you want to let me know...you did it."

    Pei Nianyu sighed:

    "I don't want you to think too much. Ye Feng, actually your martial arts are not important to me..."

    Hearing this, Lou Yefeng suddenly raised his head, his eyes seemed a little helpless.

    "...What I mean is that I won't despise you just because you lost your martial arts. I help you recover your internal strength, but I'm afraid that you will feel uncomfortable if you don't have martial arts."

    "...That's true. I thank the master for your kindness."

    Pei Nianyu gently smoothed the hair on his sideburns:

    "Between you and me, what are you saying to thank you?"

    Lou Yefeng only felt sorry, subconsciously bit his lip.When Pei Nianyu saw Lou Yefeng's little action, he thought it was extremely cute, and forgot to say anything.

    Lou Yefeng only wanted to do something for his master now, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of what he could do for his master, after all, his master has everything.

    It's just that for some reason, he suddenly thought of the indescribable... dream he had last night.

    Thinking of this, Lou Yefeng's cheeks suddenly turned red.The scene in that dream was really extremely sweet, and he couldn't help feeling a little restless in his chest.

    Except for a little red on Lou Yefeng's face, there was no expression on his face, and he still had that cold and serious look.Seeing that the master was idle at the moment, he expressed his concern and said:

    "Master, I'm afraid it's time to change the dressing again."

    Pei Nianyu: "...?"

    Didn't it just change last night?

    Lou Yefeng explained: "It's better to change the medicine frequently, otherwise, if it lasts for a day, the medicine will be used up long ago."

    "...Okay, you have the final say."

    As for whether Lou Yefeng was courting his master or taking advantage of himself, only the two of them really knew.

    ………………

    After changing the medicine, Pei Nianyu was going to write some medicinal recipes for his younger brother, but he couldn't explain the source of the recipe, so he sent Lou Yefeng out:

    "Ye Feng, you have practiced martial arts since you went back. You don't have to wait on me, and you have been wasting time. I have suffered from a shoulder injury these few days. After the injury recovers, you will teach me martial arts."

    "Yes, this subordinate takes orders."

    When Lou Yefeng went out, Pei Nianyu plunged into the system mall again.He spent tens of thousands of food value and bought more than a dozen commonly used, individual medicinal diet formulas.

    He thought that although he consumed a lot at one time, he would continue to generate income afterwards.Thinking about it this way, it's pretty flattering. While taking care of brother and Li Han, can also earn a lot of food value at the same time.

    In addition to most of them for his younger brother, there are also several medicinal prescriptions for Li Han.

    At this moment, Pei Nianyu didn't know that Li Han had been ordered to come to his house to receive the punishment. He thought that he had already been punished for dereliction of duty, and with his old injuries, it might not be very easy.So chose three prescriptions that warm and nourish qi and blood and help recover from injuries, and prepared to copy them to Li Han.

    Then, Pei Nianyu took his beautiful small script and copied it on a piece of paper.When the ink dries up, the nearby shadow guards are called:

    "Send it to the palace. The top ones are for His Majesty, and the bottom three ones are for Li Han."

    "yes."

    ………………

    In the palace.

    Li Han has been under house arrest in his own residence for the past three days, so he has no intention of doing other things.I just rest quietly and recuperate from my injuries. After all, after these three days... I still have to be punished.

    He was recuperating his wounds in his humble house when suddenly the shadow guard who was in charge of monitoring outside opened the door and put down three pieces of paper for him:

    "Commander, this is from His Royal Highness King Yu."

    Li Han opened it suspiciously, but found three medicinal recipes:

    "Clove duck with wolfberry", warms the stomach, nourishes blood and nourishes qi.

    "Shenqi Braised Bear's Paw" is suitable for all kinds of deficiency and damage, cold and weak spleen and stomach.

    "Braised elbow with cardamom and red dates" is suitable for loss of essence and blood, fatigue and timidity.

    Li Han couldn't help being stunned.These three prescriptions are just right for him to use now. It can be seen that His Highness King Yu... even cares about the shadow guards of individual families, he is so serious and hardworking, and he will never be perfunctory.

    But he... what did he do before?

    Looking down on His Royal Highness King Yu's martial arts, speaking contemptuously to Lou Yefeng, and... dereliction of duty shocked His Highness King Yu.

    Li Han stroked the elegant and thin handwriting on the paper with his fingers, and thought of something, so he was in a daze for a moment.

    Seeing that there was no response for a long time, the subordinate shadow guard at the door asked:

    "Master Commander, do you need to ask the imperial dining room to do the same? The master has not banned your food expenses, you just need to mention what you want to eat."

    Li Han was startled, but shook his head, muttering to himself:

    "I... I don't deserve to eat this from His Royal Highness King Yu... Forget it, you go to the room to the east of me and take out the best two bottles of golden sore medicine in my cabinet. Then find someone to deliver to King Yu Palace,Return the gift to the lord. Then say...it was Li Han's dereliction of duty that surprised the lord."

    "Then, you don't have to worry about it anymore."

    "yes."

    When the shadow guard went to work, Li Han took another look at the delicate paper, and then put him in a book.He got up and opened the secret compartment mechanism under the bed, and put away the medicinal recipe safely, which seemed to be a bit of treasure.

    …………

    In the royal study.

    Pei Niancheng received a letter from his brother just after he came down to court.

    He looked at what was written on the cover of the stack of papers specially for his younger brother, and couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.

    He just got angry at a group of courtiers who had no emotion in the hall, and dealt with a few black apples with emotion.After going to court, I received care and love from my brother, and I thought that only my brother really loves me.

    He sat behind the desk and opened the stack of papers:

    Page 1: "Scrophulariaceae Black Sesame Crisp"

    Pei Niancheng: "..."

    His elder brother is really serious about his hair problem!

    He didn't eat any black sesame seeds, and his fingers quickly turned to the next page: "Shouwu Black Sesame Cake".

    Pei Niancheng: "..."

    On the next page, "Suhui Black Sesame Noodles".

    On the next page, "Notoginseng Black Sesame Paste".

    …………

    "Black Bean Sesame Drink".

    …………

    "Black Sesame Fresh Milk Yulu".

    …………

    "Chuanxiong Baizhi Black Sesame Decoction".

    …………

    Pei Niancheng looked more and more desperate, and finally threw the booklet away, raised his arms, and covered his eyes with his sleeves.

    After a while, the cuffs of the dragon robe were soaked.

    If someone listened closely, they might still be able to hear Pei Niancheng biting his lip and saying in a very aggrieved whisper:

    "Woo...how can you be like this, brother..."

    And in the palace on the other side.

    Pei Nianyu waited for a long time but did not see any increase in the value of the food, so he couldn't help but be very puzzled:

    "Is Xiaosheng's imperial dining room... so inefficient?"

    The author has something to say:

    Pei Niancheng: Let's sever brotherhood!!

    Pei Nianyu: Why didn't my brother eat the love I sent...
