No Worries about Food and Medicine

Chapter 21: custard

Views:

On the night of August 15th, the first reunion festival, Yu Jinnian slept very darkly, as if he wanted to make up for the lack of sleep from the previous two days in one go.

When he woke up, he didn't hear the rooster crowing under the rear window, and he didn't see anyone rushing him to serve the food. Most importantly, there was no one competing with him for the bed. Lie down and stretch comfortably. After airing himself comfortably, he raised his head and looked around.

"woke up?"

He thought that there was no one in the room, but when he heard voices suddenly, he almost rolled off the couch.

Ji Hong straightened his back nervously, and was relieved when he saw that he didn't really turn the page down, and continued to write at his desk: "Today, Er Niang ordered that the store not be opened, and it will be closed for one day."

No opening, great! Yu Jinnian hung on the side of the bed boneless for a while, sighed for a while, then raised his head and said with a smile, "You got up so early?" Seeing that the little lotus lantern I bought yesterday was still alive, and it was placed on the desk , next to Ji Hong's hand, he hurriedly put on his shoes and socks and ran over to see that it was indeed his lamp, wondering: "Didn't it be put on the stone bridge and not brought back?"

Ji Hongdao: "Seeing that you like it, I brought it back."

This small blessing lamp is auspicious if it flows smoothly, but Yu Jinnian doesn't care about it, so just take it back.

Yu Jinnian played with the papered lotus petals on the lamp with his fingers, and looked down at Ji Hong writing the account. The handwriting was round and neat, as beautiful as Ji Hong. He stared at it obsessively, and suddenly thought that the table had not been cleaned up for hundreds of years, and his indecent ghostly symbols were still stuffed in the miscellaneous papers. If Ji Hong saw it, he might laugh at him.

Seeing him frantically gathering the loose things on the case, Ji Hong knew what he was doing, but he had seen those big crooked characters long ago, so it was too late for him to remember to cover them up, so he said calmly: " Very well written."

"..." In other words, you have seen everything

Then what am I doing all this time, performing Yu's Tai Chi for you

Yu Jinnian raised his eyes and stared at him, his waist collapsed, and he said in despair: "It's boring!"

Ji Hong smiled, licked the ink with his pen, relaid the paper, and wrote a few words. These words are interesting, and Yu Jinnian can always recognize them. It is his own name "Yu Jinnian". It's just that these three words were written by Ji Hong, and he has a strong backbone. meaning to.

Seeing that he was serious about it, Ji Hong asked, "Want to learn calligraphy?"

This question can't be hypocritical. Yu Jinnian had long coveted Ji Hong's knowledge and ability, so he nodded immediately.

Ji Hong said: "It's not difficult. If you want to learn, I will give you fifty big characters every day. After you finish writing, you can go to bed."

Yu Jinnian naturally refused to admit defeat, and immediately picked up a pen to trace a few. He was very satisfied when writing. After writing, he lifted it up and looked left and right.

"You don't have to hold back. Keep your head upright." Ji Hong taught the boy how to have a straight posture, and even picked his chin. Yu Jinnian was forced to raise his head, and exchanged a glance with him, but for some reason, Ji Hong seemed to be stunned for a moment, and his hands didn't move, and he pinched his chin endlessly.

Immediately afterwards, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. This scene, no matter how you look at it, looks like a dude molesting a good little daughter-in-law, but the problem is, the one being molested is not doing well, why the molesting person blushed instead.

Ji Hong withdrew his hand from the stare, and got up from the case: "You write, I'll go get a cup of hot water."

"Oh." Yu Jinnian responded dryly, watched him walk out of the room, and came back with the porcelain teapot in hand. Now the two teapots are even redder than before, and the redness is unusual, which only makes the lips paler, "Ji Hong !"

Ji Hong lazily raised his eyelids, glanced at him, and continued pouring water.

Yu Jinnian waved at him: "Come here and let me touch it."

"Touch what?" Ji Hong clenched his hands into fists, covered his mouth and coughed twice, his expression becoming more and more tired, "Did you finish writing?"

Yu Jinnian stretched out his hand to tug at him, but Ji Hong didn't use his strength to resist. The two immediately hugged each other like a pie, and it took a long time before they were separated. Yu Jinnian touched his hands and face—his hands were cold, his face was hot, and his body was also hot. Kind of like a stove.

Ji Meiren has the habitual problem of beauties-cold body, except that she can cover herself warmly at night when she sleeps, and she is always braving the cold on weekdays. They say that beauty is like jade, but he is really as moist and not warm as jade. So Big Brother Yu Jin complained in his heart that he is an ice creamer. If the good ice cubes suddenly heat up, there is definitely only one possibility.

—Ji Hong is ill.

Yu Jinnian thought of playing so late last night, Ji Hong was walking around wearing only an azure single robe, and accompanied him on the stone bridge to blow the wind, and fell ill immediately after he didn't come back, and he still persisted until early to do accounts, it was simply touching Xia Chaohao accountant.

"It seems to be a little cold." The boy's hand was very warm. Ji Hong stretched out his hand to hold it with his eyes downcast. Before Yu Jinnian had an attack, he took the opportunity to show weakness. He was sure that Yu Jinnian would be soft-hearted and would not lash out at a patient.

Sure enough, Yu Jinnian didn't pull out his hand, Ji Hong was wrapped in a cloak, and Yu Jinnian urged him to go to bed again: "I really underestimated you, to be so weak."

Ji Hong said: "It's okay, I'm used to it."

Yu Jinnian muttered: "Who would get sick and get used to it?"

There is a pile of thick and soft quilts around his body, the quilt is still warm, and there is still the body temperature of the young man. Leaning on the pillow, Ji Hong's body is completely relaxed, and he feels the exhaustion of his limbs and the vague Sour pain.

It is not a lie to say that illness is a habit.

He was born weak, so he lost a lot of fun that other people should have, but since his second brother's accident, his condition has become worse than before, and he often has more sickness and less good time. But even if one is ill, there will not be any special preferential treatment. Mothers-in-law and servants will seek medical treatment and delay medicine in an orderly manner as usual. If the master gets sick and bleeds a few drops, he can easily get excited.

Being sick is just a matter of a bowl of medicine, how can Yu Jinnian behave so seriously, and directly stuff him into the quilt, wrapping him like a bear.

But Ji Hong enjoys such care... At least it shows that the boy cares about him.

Yu Jinnian skillfully diagnosed and treated him. He examined his tongue, which was pale in color and had a thin layer of white coating on its surface. He was watching seriously, and his brows were slightly furrowed. Ji Hong didn't want to be disturbed.

Ji Hong loves to see Yu Jinnian's treatment and pulse diagnosis for other people. He is serious, meticulous, and has the style of a great doctor.

"It's the first time I've seen someone so happy when he's sick." Yu Jinnian was simply baffled by the smile on this man's face, but although he smiled a little silly, it still didn't hinder Mr. Ji's flourishing beauty. You boil some medicine. You eat something to cushion your stomach first, so you won’t feel uncomfortable when you drink the medicine.”

He asked Ji Hong: "...what do you want to eat?"

Ji Hong didn't refuse. After thinking about it, he casually ordered an "egg custard".

Yu Jinnian put the hot tea cup within his reach, rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen.

Egg custard is easy to make, and there is no difficulty. He just cracked two golden eggs in a bowl—at this moment, someone knocked on the door of the closed noodle shop. Because the night market is full of fun all night long, not only a bowl of noodle restaurants, but also many shops are not working, and I don't know who is calling the door at the noodle restaurant at this time

Yu Jinnian put down the egg bowl for the time being, and ran to the front to answer the door. When the door opened a gap wide enough for a person, he heard someone outside shouting happily: "Brother Nian, why are you getting up?"

"...Master He?" Yu Jinnian was surprised, and hurriedly greeted him, "Come in and sit down."

He Dali squeezed in through the crack of the door with a smile on his face, followed by a boy in plain gray linen, but it was his only seedling, He Ertian. He Ertian came in and looked around, He Dali pushed him violently from the vest, He Ertian staggered two steps forward, and stopped in front of Yu Jinnian, he rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment for a long time before moving his mouth, He whispered: "... Thank you, thank you Nian brother."

"Hey, I'm here today to thank you, Brother Nian!" He Dali smiled and said, "I ate the food you ordered, and it was very useful. These days are much better! No, today I came here specially to give you a thank you gift, and I didn't know what to give, so I brought two catties of meat bones and three catties of hoofs first... My mother-in-law also said that I have to add another pig's head to you..."

Seeming to be eloquent again, Yu Jinnian hastily declined: "How can this be done?"

"Brother Nian, if you don't accept it, you'll dislike my gift of thanking the doctor for being too thin!" He Dali expressed annoyance, as if he would go back and bring another pig's head to meet Yu Jinnian, while the taciturn rebellious boy He Ertian was also embarrassed The ground persuaded, "Take it, take it!"

Yu Jinnian couldn't hold back the two of them, so he had no choice but to take over the heavy boned hoof.

The He family father and son came here just for this matter, exchanged pleasantries for a while, and said that they would come to cheer for a bowl of noodle restaurants, and then left soon.

It turns out that there is a thank you gift for seeing a doctor? What a great thing! Yu Jinnian muttered blindly, put the things in a clean empty basin, and cut off a piece of meat and bone joints, ready to use when cooking at noon, marinated the meat and bones with oil and salt sauce, and then he remembered the custard that Ji Hong asked for I forgot to do it, and hurriedly cleaned my hands, put the hot water on the stove, and quickly stirred the egg liquid.

Beat the eggs, add a spoonful of sugar powder, and use wooden chopsticks to beat the egg liquid. At this time, there is a necessary key, that is, the egg liquid must be beaten in one direction, and the speed must be fast and even. There is a crisp sound of da da da. If the egg liquid is beaten thin and scattered, it will seriously affect the taste.

Take fresh milk and continue to stir into the egg mixture, still beating in one direction.

When the water boils, put a steaming drawer on the boiling pot, put the mixed milk and egg liquid into a bowl, cover the mouth of the bowl with a small thin porcelain plate, put it in the drawer and steam over medium heat for a quarter of an hour.

When using it, you can sprinkle some small pieces of nuts or fresh diced fruit on top of the smooth and smooth egg custard according to your taste. If you like sweetness, you can add honey or small preserved fruits. The most important thing is that the steamed egg has a delicate taste. , rich frankincense, melts in the mouth.

Yu Jinnian held the hot soup bowl on a small plate, and carried it carefully to the room, for fear that the soft and bouncy noodles would be broken halfway, which would affect its beauty.

He brought the milk custard to Ji Hong. The man was resting on the pillow with his eyes closed, his hair drooping, his eyes lightly closed, his head tilted slightly, his face white and blushing, and his breathing quickened slightly. Win by three points", it hurts to see.

"...I'm back." Ji Hong opened his eyes when he heard the boy's footsteps, and said lazily.

"Yeah." Yu Jinnian nodded, "Get up and eat custard."

"Who came just now?"

Yu Jinnian did not expect that he could still hear the movement ahead from such a distance. This is because he is sick and not in good spirits. If he is in good spirits, wouldn't he have to "listen to all directions" and suffer from insomnia

He moved a round stool in front of the bed: "People from the He family are here to thank the doctor."

Seeing the young man's hand on the side of the bed, Ji Hong stretched out a jade-white hand from under the quilt, and rubbed his forefinger intentionally or unintentionally, Yu Jinnian retracted in surprise, Ji Hong pursed his lips and said, "Yes." Thank you... I really look like a famous doctor."

"It's early." Yu Jinnian held the custard in front of his face, "Have a taste?"

Ji Hong held the tip of the spoon in his mouth, and was about to praise him for his good craftsmanship, when suddenly his expression changed, his brows were frowned, and his expression was painful.

"What's wrong!" Yu Jinnian also became nervous.

Ji Hong was slightly surprised and said, "This...why is it sweet?"

The boy was taken aback, and blinked strangely: "Of course the custard is sweet."

Ji Hong said as it should: "It should be salty and refreshing."

Yu Jinnian said confidently, "It's clearly frankincense!"

"..."

"..."

Good guy, how can a person who eats sweet custard and a person who eats salty custard be friends

The author has something to say:

Yu Jinnian: Let me tell you that! Zongzi is salty, bean curd is sweet, glutinous rice balls need to be added with salt, and custard needs to be added with sugar of course!

Ji·Northern·Hong: ... Forget it, I choose death.
