All Hail Cousin Brother

Remember in a second【】

"Then why? If the young lady wants to make medicinal meals, the servants will know how to do it. Why don't the girls just do the same as usual and instruct the servants to do it?"

After finishing speaking, Mother Zhao took a look at the young lady's slender fingers. These ten fingers are not wet with yang spring water, how can they do rough work on the stove, and they are not likely to be injured.

Yu Youyao shook her head: "No need."

After a word of persuasion but no persuasion, Mother Zhao stopped persuading.

Yu Youyao and Zhao's mother picked chickens together: "Pick a tender chicken and an old hen."

Mother Zhao was puzzled, stewed soup must be the most nourishing old hen, and was about to ask, when she heard the eldest lady say: "My cousin is a little weak, and it's not good to make up too much, but the deficiency is not replenished, and the supplement is bad." body."

Zhao's mother suddenly realized that she picked out a year-round chicken and a year-old chicken, and directed the women to clean it up.

Yu Youyao was not idle either, she took eight kinds of medicinal materials including angelica, ginseng, and velvet antler, stuffed them into a cloth bag for stewing soup, soaked them in water, and put some spiritual dew into the water.

Soon, Mother Zhao brought back the cleaned chicken and stamped her feet into chicken nuggets.

Yu Youyao first boiled the chicken nuggets in a pot until the foam was formed, then scooped them up, washed them with clean water, added spices to make them fragrant, and then added clean water to boil them.

When it boils, a thick layer of chicken oil floats on the water.

Yu Youyao was worried that it would be too greasy and too nourishing, so she discarded the oil flakes, put the chicken soup together, put it in a purple casserole, and simmered it with medicine packets made of ginseng antler and other medicinal materials.

Zhao's mother watched from the side, but she didn't know how to point it out: "Miss is the first time to go to the kitchen seriously, and when she does things, she is not vague at all."

Missy's work on the stove is very unfamiliar, but she does things in an orderly manner, so it can be seen that she didn't learn from Nanny Xu in vain.

Yu Youyao smiled, and made the old hen too, with angelica and ginseng in it, and explained: "Ginseng and velvet antler chicken soup is stewed for my cousin, boil it for one hour, and angelica and ginseng chicken soup will stew for two hours, you Watch out for the heat."

Mother Zhao smiled and said yes.

After explaining, Yu Youyao went to look for Nanny Xu.

After hearing about Young Master Biao's leg disease, Nanny Xu thought for a while: "I do know a prescription for medicinal oil.

It has the effects of promoting blood circulation, relaxing tendons and collaterals, and also has some effects of reducing swelling and relieving pain. Master Biao should use it. "

Yu Youyao's eyes lit up: "Nurse, tell me quickly."

"Don't worry, there is a prescription for the medicinal oil, but the medicinal oil still needs to be prepared. Go to the incense room first, and I will teach you how to do it." After Xu Mama finished speaking, she went to the incense room with Yu Youyao.

The Tiaoyu Courtyard is very large and has many rooms. Yu Youyao is very interested in making fragrances and devotes herself to learning them, so she set up a fragrance room with various medicinal materials and spices in it.

To make this medicated oil, more than 20 kinds of medicinal materials such as laurel leaves, cinnamon, lemongrass, dried ginger, dried blood, and turpentine are needed, but these medicinal materials must first be made into a medicinal dew.

At the peak of fragrance mixing in the previous dynasty, a perfumer used the wine vessel for steaming wine to make an incense vessel for steaming incense and extracting its essence: put spices and medicinal materials in water, boil them over charcoal fire, steam them on the steam, and use the vessel to hold them. Take detox, so that perfume can be made.

The medicinal dew needed for the medicinal oil is not expensive, they are commonly used, and are also used in many incenses. Yu Youyao made a lot of them when practicing fragrance blending, and they are not bad now.

It took less than an hour for Yu Youyao to make the medicinal oil.

The smell of the medicinal oil was very offensive. Yu Youyao couldn't take it anymore, but she still endured the discomfort. She rubbed some on her back and rubbed it vigorously. Soon her back turned red, hot and spicy.

Nanny Xu nodded: "It's not bad."

Yu Youyao breathed a sigh of relief. When making the medicinal oil, she put some spiritual dew into it, and the effect should be good.

Afterwards, Yu Youyao asked Chunxiao and Dongmei to make two pairs of leggings together. They were good at sewing and their feet were nimble, and the kneelings didn't need to be embroidered, so they could be done very quickly.

Xia Tao and Qiu Xing were asked to burn the mugwort leaves, and Yu Youyao collected the mugwort leaf ashes, made two mugwort leaf ashes medicine bags, and sewed them into the next layer of the leggings.

Mother Xu looked at it, and couldn't help but praised: "Sister, what a coincidence, the ash leaf also has the effect of promoting blood circulation and dispelling cold and dampness. I made a medicine bag of the ash leaf and sewed it inside the leggings, and put it on the charcoal fire. Roast it and tie it on your legs warmly, not only to warm your legs, but also keep them warm for a long time, and when they get cold, you can easily replace them with new ones.”

Yu Youyao smiled: "Cousin's legs can't stand the moisture, it's like a stove, it's convenient and warm for Mrs. Tang to use."

The furnace and Mrs. Tang couldn't keep their legs warm all the time, and Nanny Xu thought deeply: "The empress dowager also suffers from old cold and can't bear the humidity. I learned good massage techniques from the old royal doctor in the palace, and I will teach you to learn it. If used together with medicated oil, the effect will be even better.”

Yu Youyao's eyes lit up and she nodded quickly.

Mother Xu brought the acupuncture point map over, and first taught Yu Youyao to identify the acupuncture points on her legs: "The main point is this acupuncture point, each acupuncture point has different fingering methods, different acupuncture points, and different fingering methods. The best time is for incense, and it takes more than half an hour to make a set, which is a bit laborious."

Yu Youyao lifted up her trousers, revealing her shiny calf: "Just do it on my leg, and then I'll know how to handle it."

Nanny Xu nodded and found an acupuncture point on her leg: "There is a method for this place, press, circle, press, take a closer look."

Saying that, Madam Xu pressed this place with her thumb, focusing on the acupoint, and pressed it in a circular motion. After a while, Yu Youyao's leg turned red. She felt that this place was a little hot, and Madam Xu pressed hard.

Yu Youyao suddenly felt a tightness and a looseness between her legs, her whole leg was numb, and after the numbness, she felt relaxed again.

^0^ Remember in a second【】

Feeling the benefits of the massage method, Yu Youyao learned it more seriously. She has a photographic memory, and these simple movements can be seen at a glance.

Nanny Xu explained the fingering of the acupoints and the points that need to be paid attention to, and Yu Youyao learned it after doing it again and again.

Yu Youyao thought about it, and then said: "Although Uncle Sun's medical skills are good, he is no more careful than Mammy when it comes to nourishing and nourishing the body. Mammy will find me some medicinal food prescriptions, fragrances, medicinal baths, and foot baths." Although these prescriptions are useless for a while, after a long time, you can see the effect, but my cousin is not enough to make up for it, and he still needs to take care of his body bit by bit from his daily life."

But she thought in her heart that these things had no effect, but if Linglu was added, the effect would be different. As for whether her cousin would notice anything, she hadn't thought about it.

Nanny Xu naturally agreed, and the two discussed it together.

At this moment, Chun Xiao came over: "Miss, the antler and ginseng chicken soup in the kitchen is ready."

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
