Mrs. Cui turned around to look at the hourglass. After searching for a long time and not finding it, she asked, "What time is it now?"

Man Bao's consciousness sank into the system and he looked at the time before saying, "It won't be correct in another quarter of an hour."

Ms. Cui was surprised, "I've been sleeping for nearly an hour? How come I only squinted for a while?"

Mrs. Tang and Man Bao were also surprised. They kept talking for almost an hour. No wonder their mouths felt a little dry.

The two of them picked up their teacups and drank tea together.

Ms. Cui glanced at the sunshine outside and asked, "Where are my husband and the others?"

The girl waiting outside the door heard it and immediately came in to reply, "Master, they are talking in the garden."

Ms. Cui nodded, did not let her ask questions, and waved her hand to ask her to leave.

She said to Man Bao, "It's rare to sleep so well. I'll stay at your house for a little longer today."

Man Bao said: "You can have dinner here too."

Mrs. Cui thought for a while and looked at Mrs. Tang. Mrs. Tang smiled and said, "It's up to me."

Apart from her father-in-law, she is the eldest in her family. Unlike Ms. Cui, she has a mother-in-law on her head.

Mrs. Cui then laughed with Man Bao and said, "That's no trouble."

They had nothing to do all day, so Man Bao simply asked Cui for a consultation, "I see that your appetite is not very good. Is it serious that you are suffering from happiness?"

Ms. Cui nodded and sighed: "Looking at something fishy makes me want to vomit."

No wonder she didn't look very appetizing during lunch today.

Man Bao thought for a while and said, "Can I think of some meal recipes for you?"

Mrs. Cui nodded repeatedly, "I was just about to tell you that I can't drink the medicine now. I vomited out a whole bowl of the miscarriage medicine prescribed by the doctor after I ate half of it."

Manbao became worried when he heard this, "Is it so serious? Do I need to give you acupuncture?"

Ms. Cui nodded repeatedly and couldn't help but smile, "Okay."

Man Bao then said, "Just one prick every five days. I'll go to your house?"

Mrs. Cui thought for a while and then shook her head, "It's better for me to come to your house. You are so busy every day, but you are tired from making this extra trip."

Mrs. Tang couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm afraid you want to come out for some fresh air?"

Mrs. Cui smiled and said nothing.

Man Bao was naturally most happy to be able to spend less time on the road. He nodded and said: "Okay, come here, I will ask the kitchen to cook you a bowl of porridge, and I will give you an acupuncture after you rest for a while."

There is no need for Man Bao to tell him in person, just tell others and someone will inform you.

A bowl of porridge was quickly delivered from the kitchen, and a small plate of pickled vegetables was placed on the tray.

Mrs. Cui didn't eat much at noon, and she didn't have much appetite when she saw the porridge. But after taking a bite of porridge and another bite of pickles, her mouth was filled with saliva and her appetite increased.

She ate a bowl of porridge and looked at the bowl in her hand for a while, speechless.

The girl Yingyue who was waiting aside was very happy and asked quickly: "Madam, would you like another bowl?"

Ms. Cui thought for a while and nodded, handing the bowl to her.

Yingyue looked at Manbao with some embarrassment.

Man Bao smiled and said, "Just go to the kitchen to get it. I don't have much else at home, so I can still take care of enough porridge."

Several people watched Mrs. Cui eating three bowls of porridge in a row. Mrs. Tang closed her slightly open mouth and said, "Do you have a bad appetite?"

Mrs. Cui put down her bowl sheepishly and said, "I don't know what happened, but my appetite has improved."

She paused and then said: "Your pickles are delicious, crispy and very appetizing."

Man Bao glanced at the pickles in the small bowl and said: "My sister-in-law pickled these. If you like it, I will put a jar for you in a while. But don't just eat this dish, eat other dishes too."

If you can’t smell fishy vegetables and meat dishes, then you can eat some meat soup and egg custard, that’s okay too.”

Yingyue on the side quickly wrote it down.

Ms. Cui smiled and said, "Thank you very much. I thought this child was greedy and liked to eat other people's food."

Man Bao found pen, ink and paper from the desk nearby to write the menu for her. Mrs. Tang found a fan from somewhere and shook it gently, leaning on it to watch her write.

After a while, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Your menu is quite detailed, but why did I hear that your cooking skills are average?"

Man Bao said: "That's because I haven't learned it yet, but I can still memorize the recipes."

Mrs. Tang then asked, "Do you still need to memorize the recipe? Why are you carrying this thing?"

Man Bao said seriously: "All herbs can be used as medicine, and of course these vegetables are the same. Not only vegetables can be used as medicine, but all kinds of meat also have their own uses, so there is a saying of dietary health. If the food is well matched, it will naturally

It’s like a prescription, so I have to memorize the recipe.”

As for making it by hand, she actually knows how to do it. After all, most of the dishes in the recipes are boiled and stewed, which is not difficult as long as you don't pay attention to the taste.

Regarding this, Man Bao is also very confident, "Do you still need to pay attention to the taste of the medicine when taking medicine? It's not just a matter of just drinking it, it tastes whatever it is supposed to taste like."

Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Yang:...

Mrs. Yang took out the recipe from her hand and gave it to Yingyue, saying: "Okay, let them worry about this kind of thing."

Manbao nodded.

Mrs. Tang also withdrew her gaze, waved her fan and asked, "I just saw several recipes on it that I have never seen before. Where did you get these recipes?"

"I exchanged it with Dr. Ning from the Bohe Medical Center. It was passed down from his family." Man Bao was a little proud. "This is not a loan, but a recipe book with annotations that his family gave me directly."

Sounding very powerful, Mrs. Tang asked blankly: "What did you give him in exchange for it?"

"A "Hundred Ten Prescriptions" contains prescriptions for about twenty diseases." This is a medical book divided into five volumes, but there are a lot of arguments in it, and there are different prescriptions for each disease.

situation and medication recommendations, so only twenty prescriptions were printed in such a thick book.

This medical book was her textbook. After buying it from the encyclopedia, she simply paid points to print a few copies. She liked to use it to exchange things with others.

Currently, more than half of the medical books in Manbao's study were bought from encyclopedias. The rest, except for a few sporadically obtained from bookstores, were traded with others for habitual reading and then copied, or directly exchanged for them.

of.

Mrs. Tang didn't know that it was easy for her to obtain this medical book, so when she heard it, she couldn't help but nodded her forehead, "Aren't you at a loss?"

If you exchange a medicinal prescription for a dietary prescription, even if it is a medicinal diet, you are still losing money, right?

Man Bao shook his head and said: "Knowledge is not valued in this way. Anyway, if they ask me, I will tell you how much better it is to replace it. It saves me time and I also gain something."

Mrs. Tang:......

Mrs. Cui then smiled and said, "You are quite reasonable."

Man Bao chuckled and said: "Of course, if I can't think about it, then how hard it will be for people who write, print, and spread books?"

In fact, what she wanted to say was that she couldn't bear to think about it. How unbearable would it be for an encyclopedia that opened its library for people to borrow and watch?
