Chapter 228: The Crux Of The Problem

Aunt Zhang was a little hesitant, obviously a little unwilling.

Lin Bai quickly explained, “I know a little bit about Chinese medicine. Grandpa asked me to come over to observe because he wanted me to take this opportunity to learn Doctor Qin’s medication skills.”

Aunt Zhang’s attitude immediately changed when she heard this.

“So that’s how it is? That’s fine!”

“Then you can read it slowly and take it with you. In any case, I’ve actually memorized all the things in the notebook a long time ago.”

“Doctor Qin is sometimes very busy and can’t come every day. If you can learn it, you can also add a layer of protection to master. That’s good, that’s good.”

Aunt Zhang smiled and stuffed the notebook into Lin Bai’s hands.

Lin Bai said very seriously, “Yes, I’ll definitely read it carefully.”

“I also hope that Grandpa will always be healthy and healthy.”

Aunt Zhang said, “Yes, I hope that Grandpa will get better soon this time.”

As soon as she finished speaking, her phone’s alarm clock rang.

Aunt Zhang immediately took out her phone and turned off the alarm clock. She picked up a set of medicinal herbs that had been prepared beside her and held it in her hand. After waiting for about half a minute, she poured it into the medicine pot.

Seeing this, Lin Bai asked, “Is this the alarm clock specially set for adding medicine?”

Aunt Zhang replied, “Yes. I was afraid that I would be delayed by other things, so I specially set the alarm clock.”

“There are still two more in a while, because there are still two more medicinal herbs that need to be added.”

Lin Bai said, “You really put in a lot of effort.”

Aunt Zhang said matter-of-factly, “Of course. This is medicine for the old master to drink. You have to make sure the time is right.”

“Otherwise, what if it affects the efficacy of the medicine?”

Seeing her attitude, Lin Bai understood why the old master and the Butler could trust Aunt Zhang with such an important task of brewing medicine.

Although Aunt Zhang did not understand medicine, she was serious enough.

She was 200% serious and meticulous in all matters related to the old master.

Lin Bai carefully read through Aunt Zhang’s little notebook. It recorded the shape, size, color, smell of each medicinal ingredient needed, as well as their respective medicinal effects and the taboos of their combinations.

The proportions of the ingredients needed for each medicinal meal were all accurate to the degree of grams.

At the end, the brewing of the medicine was even more meticulous. The intervals between the addition of various medicinal ingredients were all accurate to the minute.

All the contents were very accurate. The various medicinal cuisines were also food that could recuperate the body and replenish qi and blood. There didn’t seem to be any problems.

Except for one dish.

Medicinal duck soup.

In fact, there wasn’t any problem with this dish. After using it, it could replenish qi and blood and strengthen the body’s resistance.

But the problem was that the ingredients used were angelica and astragalus.

These two herbs were not suitable for Old Master Ye’s current physical condition, and they also conflicted with the prescription he was taking.

If he took them at the same time, not only would they not replenish qi and blood and strengthen the body, but they would also have the opposite effect, making Old Master Ye’s physical condition worse and worse.

In Aunt Zhang’s notebook, there were 70 to 80 different kinds of medicinal cuisines.

There were no other problems except for the ingredient of this dish.

If one didn’t look carefully, they wouldn’t be able to find it.

Fortunately, Lin Bai was careful enough and was lucky enough.

“Aunt Zhang, have you made this medicinal duck soup for Grandpa?”

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, “Of course I have! I have made all the medicinal cuisines in this notebook.”

“Master likes this medicinal duck soup especially. He says he wants to drink it every now and then.”

“I’m afraid that if he eats it all the time, the nutrition will be unbalanced. I even asked Doctor Qin about it. He said that he can change the duck into chicken, mutton, or fish.”

“That’s why I change the main ingredients from time to time. Sometimes it’s duck soup, and sometimes it’s fish soup or mutton soup.”

“This way, the master won’t get sick of it easily and won’t have to worry about the uneven nutrition.”

Lin Bai frowned when he heard that.

“So you’re saying that Grandpa eats this kind of medicinal cuisine the most?”

Aunt Zhang nodded. “Yes. Why? Can’t it be too frequent?”

Lin Bai hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

“No, no. It’s medicinal cuisine. It’s good to eat more.”

Aunt Zhang heaved a long sigh of relief and patted her chest. “You scared me to death. I thought that eating too much would be bad for master...”

Lin Bai thought to himself, ‘It’s not just bad, it’s worse than death.’

However, this was not the problem of the medicinal cuisine itself, but the result of the conflicting medicinal ingredients.

Aunt Zhang, as a servant, would definitely not know such professional knowledge of Chinese medicine.

She didn’t have any bad intentions. On the contrary, she did her best to work for Old Master Ye.

Therefore, Lin Bai didn’t want Auntie Zhang to know about this so that she wouldn’t feel guilty.

“This recipe of astragalus angelica duck soup was also taught to you by Doctor Qin, right? Did he ever mention when it was suitable to eat this?”

Lin Bai asked deliberately.

Auntie Zhang replied, “Doctor Qin said that he could eat it at any time without any special restrictions. As long as Old Master wants to eat it, he can make it for him.”

“Oh right, he also said that it’s best to make more during the autumn and winter season because the weather is cold, so it needs more nourishment.”

“And when the weather turns cold, drinking this can also have a certain effect of preventing colds.”

Lin Bai continued to ask, “Now that the season is changing, the weather is getting colder and colder. Have you been making this soup often recently?”

Aunt Zhang nodded and said, “Yes, Master is old. Of course, we have to take precautions in advance to prevent him from catching a cold!”

“By the way, there’s this soup for dinner tonight. You can try it too.”

“If you like it too, I’ll make more for you in the next few days.”

“Although you’re still young, there’s no harm in taking precautions!”

Lin Bai quickly said, “Let’s change to another dish today.”

“I took Grandpa’s pulse just now. His body is a little weak, so it’s not suitable for him to eat Angelica and Astragalus for the time being.”

“Why don’t we change it to red dates, ginger slices, and black chicken soup? It can also dispel the cold and nourish the blood, and it’s more gentle.”

Since Lin Bai already knew what the problem was, of course, he couldn’t let Grandpa continue to eat this kind of thing that had conflicting medicinal properties.

Aunt Zhang was stunned for a moment, then she nodded repeatedly.

“Okay, okay, okay. Then I’ll make black chicken soup tonight.”

“Fortunately, you reminded me. If there’s anything inappropriate in the future, you must also tell me!”

Lin Bai nodded. “Yes, definitely.”

Aunt Zhang’s phone alarm rang again. She quickly prepared the next medicinal ingredient and threw it into the medicine jar.

Lin Bai watched from the side the whole time. All the herbs were the same as in the prescription. They had not been replaced, and there was no problem with the measurement.

Aunt Zhang’s brewing process was as precise and rigorous as a textbook. There was no mistake at all.

So it was no wonder that Old Master Ye’s body was getting worse but no one could find the problem.
