Chapter 384 Medicinal Diet


    ?The rain didn’t stop until it was almost dawn.


    Then Ma Lu and Gu Qingyi set off to walk down the mountain. The nearest county town here is Yuchang County, but it is also a hundred miles away.


    ?And Gu Qingyi and Aunt Zheng were both injured. The latter was also carrying a young child, and he couldn''t walk fast even with a horse.


    ??Ma Lu accompanied them for ten miles and passed by a small village. The countdown on the traveler''s bracelet had less than twenty minutes left.


    Ma Lu and Gu Qingyi agreed to meet outside the south gate of Yuchang County in six days. After that, they randomly found an excuse to fall behind, found a deserted place, wrapped up the belongings and two sets of clothes that they could not take away, and buried them. Underground.


    After finishing the work, he went into the village again, found a farmer who looked relatively honest, and spent a hundred pence to foster a pack horse that had escaped from the temple here.


    The reason why we chose the packhorse used by Xing Tong Escort to pull goods instead of the better-footed mounts of He Qisheng and others was mainly because the packhorse was docile and more suitable for novices like Malu.


    ?It was almost time after all this work, and Malu''s figure disappeared in a field.


    When he opened his eyes again, he was already back on the sofa in the rental house.


    “How is the new plane?” Lao Wang asked.


    “It’s not bad. Although it’s a little different from what I imagined, it’s unexpected and quite interesting. Maybe it can fulfill my childhood martial arts dream, but the ingredients there are also very special.”


    ??Ma Lu said as he handed the collection bag to Lao Wang, while he opened the bag of potato chips.


    “I don’t know if there are any other ingredients over there. Anyway, as soon as I turned on the scanning function, all I scanned was this kind of thing. How about it? What do you think it should be used for?”


    “These ingredients can be used to make medicinal diet.” Lao Wang looked at it and said.


    “Medicinal diet?”


    “Well, to put it simply, food and medicine have the same origin. Food is used as medicine, medicine is taken into food, and cooking is used to give food the functions of preventing and treating diseases, strengthening the body, and strengthening the body.”


    "Oh, when you said that, I also remembered it. It seems that my country had similar dishes in ancient times, and some of them are still passed down to this day. But how can I say, the effect cannot be said to be non-existent, but you have to say that it is, It doesn’t seem to be very obvious, some medicinal materials are even toxic, it’s just… very subtle.”


    "It''s because of the ingredients," Lao Wang said. "Your plane only has the most basic ingredients, so most of the medicinal diets will naturally not be able to have the desired effect."


    “I understand, wait...that means if you do it, the effect of the medicinal diet will be very intuitive?”


    “That’s right.” Lao Wang nodded.


    “How intuitive is it?”


    “I can make one for you and let you try it yourself.”


    “Okay, I happen to be a little hungry too.”


    After the traveler''s bracelet was upgraded to level 6, Malu spent 17 hours every time he went out to collect ingredients, which is why he was unpacking potato chips as soon as he came back, but after a pause, he added, "Do less. "


    There is no way, mainly because after Lao Wang came, Malu''s food has skyrocketed, and Malu is not a self-discipline monster like Saitama or Zoro. With delicious food in front of him, it is difficult not to eat, and it is difficult not to eat too much.


    ?This has resulted in him now gaining 7 pounds compared to when he graduated from college. Fortunately, these 7 pounds of fat are basically grown on his belly. He wears thick clothes in winter, so it is not visible for the time being.


    But it was definitely not possible to continue like this. Malu made up his mind half a month ago, spent 8888 to get himself a VIP annual gym membership, and formulated a strict diet plan.


    ?As a result, half a month has passed, and he has not been to the gym once, and the diet plan is still in the planning stage.


    He went to weigh himself again the day before yesterday, and he gained another half a catty.


    Very good, the growth rate is faster than before deciding to lose weight. Malu felt that it was difficult to lose weight, especially when Lao Wang brought out a large stewed chicken from the kitchen half an hour later.


    ?Ma Lu couldn''t control his hands at all. He complained, "Didn''t I tell you to do less?" while already picking up the chopsticks.


    The chicken stewed by Lao Wang is cooked at just the right temperature, with golden fat floating on top of the clear chicken soup, giving it an alluring sheen. The chicken can be separated from the bone with just a flick of chopsticks.


    Lao Wang also thoughtfully prepared a rice cake for Malu as a staple food, but it looked a bit dark.


    ?Ma Lu first gnawed on a chicken leg, then ate two chicken wings with rice cakes, and then drank a bowl of chicken soup.


    ?Chicken soup tastes fresher than chicken, and concentrates the essence of the whole stewed chicken. Malu soaked the remaining rice cakes in it and turned it into chicken soup rice.


    ?So he accidentally ate too much again, and by the time he realized what was happening, most of the chicken had already been eaten.


    ?Ma Lu let out a contented sigh, then put down his chopsticks and looked at Lao Wang again.


    “I saw wolfberry, red dates and lotus seeds in it, but I remember that I didn’t bring back the red dates. Did you use ordinary ones instead? Will it not affect the final effect?”


    “No, because this chicken stew is not a medicinal diet, and I didn’t put the ingredients you brought back into it. Not only the red dates, but also the wolfberry and lotus seeds are the ones you brought back from the supermarket before.”


    "Huh?" Malu was stunned for a moment, "What about the medicinal diet?"


    “You’ve already eaten.”


    "When, why didn''t I know? I only ate half a chicken just now," Malu was confused, but soon he thought of something else, "Wait a minute, could the medicinal diet you are talking about be... that rice Pie?"


    “Yes, this dish is called lotus leaf carbon cake.”


    “Hey, then why did you stew a chicken?”


    “Didn’t you say you were hungry?”


    …”


    ??No matter what, at least the chicken was quite delicious, although I guess the meal would have weighed two ounces more after finishing it.


    Fortunately, there was still some time before summer, so Malu returned his attention to medicinal diet and said to Lao Wang, "I know lotus leaf cake, but what is lotus leaf carbon cake?"


    "Lotus leaf charcoal, also known as lotus leaf ash, I fried and pounded the Qingyun lotus leaves you brought back, grinded them into powder, added them to the rice cakes, and made lotus leaf charcoal cakes."


    “Can lotus leaf ash be eaten?” Malu asked in surprise, “Then what is the use of this lotus leaf carbon cake?”


    "It can help people lose weight." Lao Wang said, "You can go and weigh yourself now."


    "Huh?!" After hearing this, Ma Lu immediately went to the bedroom and took out the body fat scale from under the bed. Then he went to the toilet to relieve his hands before stepping on it.


    ? He ??held his breath and watched the number above jump a few times, and finally stopped at 68.1kg.


    “Fuck!” Malu immediately exclaimed.


    He still remembered that he said two days ago that the number had reached 69. Unexpectedly, two days later, he had just eaten a big meal, and his weight actually dropped instead of gaining, and it was much less than the last time. Almost 2 pounds.
