Chapter 15 The Secret Recipe in the Palace
Meng Chong’s craftsmanship is really amazing. A simple soup can be made so exquisite, and it is also paired with several plates of snacks, which makes Zhu Zai, who has been hungry for a day, Yao was very satisfied with the food.
It is precisely because Zhu Zaijing has such a good appetite that Meng Chong’s eyes are full of surprises. He has never seen Prince Yu have such a good appetite before, and every time he has only a few After a few mouthfuls, the soup in the bowl was less than half, and I was full.
But today, Zhu Zaijing drank two full bowls of soup and emptied most of several plates of snacks. Such a hearty appetite not only surprised Meng Chong, but also impressed him with his craftsmanship. affim.
When Zhu Zaijing burped comfortably and lay on the chair rubbing his stomach, Meng Chong also brought over a cup of soothing soup that had just been boiled.
"My lord, it's time to drink the soothing soup."
Zhu Zaijing glanced at the soothing soup brought by Meng Chong, but he really couldn't eat anything at the moment, and just wanted to have a good rest, and then Move around to eliminate food.
Today was really not an easy day for Zhu Zaijing, so as soon as he relaxed, he couldn't help but overeat.
Although he felt great about overeating, Zhu Zaijing also knew that this way of eating was unhealthy.
So Zhu Zaijing waved his hand and pushed it, then said: "Let me rest for a while. I have eaten a bit too much today and I really can't drink anymore."
Meng Chong listened to Zhu Zaijing's words and stopped urging Zhu Zaijing to drink the calming soup.
Meng Chong said to Zhu Zaijing with a smile on his face: "If the prince can always have such a good appetite, it will be worth my death. Thinking of the prince's previous appetite, my heart is tightening. At the end of the sentence, Meng Chong actually wiped away tears, which showed how bad Zhu Zaijing's situation was before.
Zhu Zaijing moved his body and changed into a comfortable position, and then said: "After what happened to my brother, I have figured it out. My body is the first priority. From now on, you can give me more Prepare some fresh vegetables, fruits and fresh beef and milk. I want to supplement vitamins and nutrients."
Zhu Zaijing's words immediately confused Meng Chong.
Meng Chong can understand words like vegetables, melons and fruits, and he can also understand words like beef and milk.
But the problem is that the Ming Dynasty prohibited killing cows and eating meat. Although this is not a problem for a prince, the problem is that eating beef is still too eye-catching, and it is easy for people to use it as a handle and accuse him of breaking the law. .
Also, Meng Chong didn’t understand the word vitamin. He even felt that he didn’t listen carefully to Zhu Zaijing’s words, causing him to hear the wrong words.
Meng Chong replied carefully: "Your Majesty, it's not that beef cannot be eaten, it's just that cattle are precious. How about replacing it with mutton or venison?"
Zhu Zaijing heard Meng Chong's words. As he spoke, he couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Meng Chong.
Although cattle are precious, they must be divided among people.
Zhu Zaijing didn't believe that there were no people who illegally ate beef in the Ming Dynasty. What's more, Zhu Zaijing didn't want to eat beef because of abnormal psychological needs. He wanted to eat beef to have a healthy body, so there was no need to discuss this matter.
Zhu Zaijing said: "What? I can't afford beef?"
When Meng Chong heard Zhu Zaijing's somewhat angry words, he quickly replied: "The prince can afford it. , It’s just a reason. The slave doesn’t know what to say.”
Zhu Zaijing stretched his waist and said, “This is easy to handle. Even if the bull hits the tree, I should have a lot of royal houses and fields under my name. Isn't it reasonable for one or two cows to hit a tree?"
When Meng Chong heard Zhu Zaijing said such a shameless reason, he did not dare to refute, and quickly replied: "Very It’s very reasonable, the cow just hit a tree.”
Seeing how sensible Meng Chong was, Zhu Zaijing also showed a satisfied smile on his face.
Although this fat man looked like he deserved a beating, he was still very obedient no matter how much he was beaten or scolded. This made Zhu Zaijing sigh with emotion at the happiness of the ancient nobles.
Zhu Zaijing patted Meng Chong on the shoulder, "The person I trust most is you." Meng Chong was patted on the shoulder by Zhu Zaijing like this, and then listened to Zhu Zaijing's words "This king The person I trust the most is you." For a moment, my soul was so excited that it almost reached heaven.
Isn’t the purpose of being a slave meant to gain the trust and praise of the master?
So after being affirmed by Zhu Zaijing, Meng Chong couldn't help but shed tears.
"I will live up to the trust of the prince. I am willing to go through fire and water for the prince, no matter what."
Meng Chong knelt on the ground excitedly and expressed his loyalty to Zhu Zaijing.
Zhu Zaijing smiled, stretched out his hand to support Meng Chong, and said, "What are you talking about? Is there such danger around me? Just help me take care of the palace and prepare meals."
Meng Chong replied excitedly: "Yes, yes, I have remembered it."
Then Meng Chong brought up the Soothing Soup again and reminded: "The Soothing Soup is about to get cold."
Zhu Zaijing looked curiously at the Soothing Soup that Meng Chong brought up and asked, "This is what Li Shizhen gave me." Did you prescribe the medicine? "
Meng Chong said: "No, Your Majesty, this is a calming decoction that you drink every day. It is the palace's secret recipe."
Zhu Zaijingyi. Hearing that the medicine was not prescribed by Li Shizhen, it was actually a secret recipe from the palace, which made Zhu Zaijing feel excited.
The overall level of the imperial doctors in the Ming Dynasty, although Zhu Zaijing has never seen it, he has a general idea. Many imperial doctors are actually just a bastard who does not seek merit but seeks no faults.
After all, high-level imperial doctors like Li Shizhen are still rare, and one may not be born in hundreds of years.
But in the Ming Dynasty imperial physician's system where bad money drives out good money, Li Shizhen could not last long, so Zhu Zaijing still held the bowl of calming soup made from the palace's secret recipe that Meng Chong said Reserved opinions.
Zhu Zaijing said: "Let it go first. My spirit is very good today and I don't need any soup or medicine to support me. Tomorrow you invite the imperial doctor Li Shizhen and find the prescription for the calming soup. I want to Let Dr. Li adjust the method specifically according to my physical condition."
When Meng Chong heard what Zhu Zaijing said, he did not insist on offering the calming soup to Zhu Zaijing. He felt in his heart. Instead, I felt that my prince had made a decision, and I couldn't help but feel happy.
After talking to Meng Chong, Zhu Zaijing ate in the courtyard of the palace for a while before returning to his bedroom to rest.
Looking at this gorgeous and unfamiliar bedroom in the dim light of the lights, Zhu Zaijing was filled with emotions. He really never dreamed that he would have such a magical experience.
After sighing with emotion, Zhu Zaijing couldn't help but stretch. Although he didn't do much this day, he was really tired. This shows that his current body is basically what it should be. How bad?
Under the service of the servants in the room, Zhu Zaijing also enjoyed the treatment of a feudal prince. He stood there with his arms stretched out, waiting for the servants to carefully remove all the clothes on his body. This novelty The process also made Zhu Zaijing lament the corruption of aristocratic life.
After being served and lying on the bed, Zhu Zaijing did not fall asleep immediately. He began to recall the "Xiantian Gong" taught by Lan Daoxing during the day. According to the first part of "Xiantian Gong", he moved Qi and exhaled Na's method was to adjust his breathing rhythm.
Zhu Zaijing knew that this kind of adjustment of breathing rhythm is not something that can be done overnight. It requires long-term practice, and then it becomes a habit before it is truly practiced.
Therefore, Zhu Zaijing also practiced deliberately while sleeping. The purpose was to adjust his breathing rhythm into a healthy and beneficial method of qi movement and exhalation as soon as possible, so as to lay a solid foundation for himself to strengthen his body in the future.
