Chapter 177 Mulberry Leaf and Melon Tea
Chapter 177 Mulberry Leaf and Melon Tea
The recipes for medicinal cuisine also need to be modified from time to time.
Ye Nuan would come over every three days to take Wang Zhanpeng's pulse and then readjust the recipe for the medicinal diet.
After revising the prescription that day, I called Little Cannon over.
"Starting tomorrow, prepare a foot bath pack for him. He can soak his feet for 20 minutes every day, either in the morning or afternoon. After soaking, massage his calves. Do you know the technique?"
"Yes, my grandma taught me before, and I've massaged her many times."
"Okay, when you massage him, you should use a little more pressure."
"Understood." Little Cannon nodded. He already knew pretty much everything about Wang Zhanpeng's situation.
At this moment, Old Master Wang walked over and said, "It's already troublesome enough to have this young comrade prepare medicinal meals for us every day. As for massages, why don't we have our own people do it?"
“Please have a seat, sir. This child’s massage technique is more professional. Her grandmother is my mentor, and she has been dealing with herbs and doctors since she was a child.”
Grandpa Wang nodded. Since Ye Nuan had said so, he would no longer insist.
"Grandpa, you can also eat these medicinal meals that are being prepared for Wang Zhanpeng. They are all for improving your body's immunity."
Grandpa Wang's eyes lit up: "Really?"
"Of course. I've seen the medicinal herbs you prepared; there are quite a few. It's more than enough for the two of you."
"Alright, I'll shamelessly try to benefit from this too."
Ye Nuan just smiled. When she came last time, she had taken the old man's pulse. He was very strong. In any case, Wang Zhanpeng was no match for this old man now.
After Wang Zhanpeng had been eating the medicinal diet for about twenty days, his changes were already quite obvious.
The old man watches over him every day, so he can't tell.
However, this was the first time Wang Kun had come to see his son since that day, so he immediately noticed that his son was different.
"Zhanpeng looks much better, and his face looks a bit fuller. His complexion is no longer pale; it has a healthy glow."
Grandpa Wang laughed heartily: "Yes, the child's diet is being managed very well now. Zheng Gang is also a very principled young man. Dr. Ye tells him what to eat each day and how much to eat at each meal, and the boy strictly follows the instructions. He's very serious about it!"
Wang Kun laughed along, "It's good to be serious. Only when you're serious will the effect be good. Xiao Peng, do you have any special feelings about this?"
Wang Zhanpeng tilted his head and thought for a moment: "I feel like I have more strength in my arms, but I still can't get any strength in my legs. But I've been soaking my feet every day, and I think I can feel the water temperature now."
Upon hearing this, Wang Kun was so excited he almost knelt down: "Are you serious? You can really feel the temperature?"
"It's a little bit, not very noticeable. Dr. Ye mentioned it when he came last time, telling me to rest a bit longer, because he was afraid I wouldn't be able to handle it if he gave me acupuncture directly."
Wang Kun's impression of Ye Nuan has now changed dramatically.
Previously, it was because of Grandpa Zhang's recommendation, and because Zhang Shiqing had recovered, that I had some expectations for Ye Nuan.
Now that she sees that her son is indeed responding, this expectation is naturally even more pronounced.
I originally thought it was just a matter of luck; if it could be cured, great, and if not, they wouldn't complain.
But to their utter surprise, Ye Nuan gave them such a big surprise!
That day, Grandpa Wang went to the military region, and not long after, he went home with Han Jinzhong.
"Today is the day my Zhuangzhuang is getting acupuncture. Since he received treatment from Xiaoye last year, he hasn't had a relapse. Now he can run and jump, and even if he gets angry or quarrels with someone, he doesn't seem to have any symptoms of a relapse."
Grandpa Wang nodded: "It seems that this young Dr. Ye is indeed quite capable."
Han Jinzhong whispered, "To be honest, I heard that she has more than one master, and one of them seems to have a lot of good medicines. However, I heard Xiao Ye mention that some medicines are too difficult to make, mainly because the medicinal materials are rare."
Old Master Wang's eyes flickered, and he probably understood what kind of good medicine he was talking about.
Han Zhuangzhuang no longer needs medication, so there's no need for him to go to the hospital for treatment. Ye Nuan comes over every week. After today's acupuncture session, we'll adjust Han Zhuangzhuang's treatment plan.
"Alright, Zhuangzhuang, you can lie here for half an hour before you get up."
"Okay, thank you, Aunt Ye."
Ye Nuan patted his head. What a sensible child he is.
Ye Nuan and Jiang Hongying came out together and saw the two people sitting in the living room.
"Aunt Jiang, Zhuangzhuang's condition has basically stabilized, and he doesn't need acupuncture anymore for the time being. Also, there's no need for him to continue taking medicine in his current state. I've prepared some tea using common ingredients that aren't expensive, but they'll be good for Zhuangzhuang's health."
I've already divided it into packets, one packet per day. Just use one of these teapots to brew a pot of it for him, and he can drink one pot a day. There are ten packets here in total; I'll bring you some more later. These are all pre-mixed; you just need to brew them with hot water, and please don't add anything else to them.”
"Okay, Xiao Ye, everything else is fine, but this thing needs to be paid for."
Ye Nuan smiled and waved her hand: "Really, there's no need. I didn't spend any money myself! If I took your money, wouldn't that be like doing business? By the way, this tea is for Master Han. You drink a small packet a day, brewing it yourself in a teacup. I estimate one packet can make two or three teacups."
Han Jinzhong never expected that he would be involved.
"Xiao Ye, what's this?"
"Uncle Han, your previous physical examination results showed that you had mild hypertension and slightly elevated blood sugar, but not to the point of needing medication. So I specially prepared mulberry leaf and melon tea for you. Drink it for a while, and then go to the hospital for a check-up. If it is effective, drink it regularly in the future."
"This thing can cure diseases?"
"I guess so. These are all common things in our lives, but ordinary people don't know how to use them in medicine, and it's also a matter of proportions. This tea doesn't taste bitter, and it tastes better than Chinese medicine."
These words made Han Jinzhong laugh.
"I've made you worry about me. Is this thing really worthless?"
Ye Nuan didn't hide anything from him and said directly, "The raw materials used here are mulberry leaves, winter melon, and bitter melon. Do you think these things are valuable?"
Jiang Hongying was taken aback. These things sounded quite ordinary, yet they could cure diseases?
Han Jinzhong said, "It sounds worthless, but it's not the season for growing winter melons and bitter melons now."
"I collected these last year. When the winter melons were harvested, countless families were worried about not being able to finish them. I was worried too, so I simply processed them, and now they've come in handy."
