Chinese medicine: from rural hospitals to top three hospitals in Kyoto

Chapter 773 Medical Principles at the Dinner Table

He Pengjun really earned face in front of his sisters-in-law, his wife's brother-in-law, and his mother-in-law today.

In addition to Meng Xulin personally preparing a table of dishes for He Pengjun's family, Chen Yang and others as well as Jin Haoxuan also went over to toast the old lady.

Not to mention Meng Xulin's identity as a famous chef in Shanzhou, just the fact that Chen Yang has a group of doctors makes He Pengjun very proud.

The identity of a doctor is quite useful these days. Whether it is a gathering of relatives and friends or a reunion of old classmates, doctors are often looked up to.

Especially doctors in Grade A hospitals, even if they are just newcomers, they will have face in front of relatives and friends.

People in the industry are naturally aware of the real situation of doctors. The salary is not high and the work is tiring. The most important thing is that doctors really have to work overtime at any time, and there is no overtime pay.

Although there are performance rewards and bonuses, before you make it, you are really worse than a beast of burden.

Doctors are often on the front lines when disaster strikes. When firefighters respond, they are usually accompanied by doctors.

But in the eyes of outsiders, the profession of doctor is obviously more respectable, and in the eyes of relatives and friends it is considered a stable job.

A group of doctors from the Medical University Affiliated Hospital came over to toast the old lady. How could He Pengjun's sister-in-law and his wife's brother-in-law not feel honored?

"As expected of Master Meng."

Wu Mengmeng's mouth was full of oil as she ate, not like a girl at all: "It's delicious. All my efforts to lose weight in the past period of time have been in vain."

"You studied Chinese medicine."

Chen Yang said unhappily: "Chinese medicine emphasizes scientific health preservation. What do you think of relying on dieting to lose weight?"

"Scientific health care?"

Xun Jiahong smiled and said, "Every word Chen Yang says seems to be full of philosophy."

"Yes."

Lin Yi smiled and said: "Many people think that Chinese medicine is unscientific, but they don't know that Chinese medicine is people-oriented and is the most scientific, whether it is treatment, prevention, or even weight loss..."

Traditional Chinese medicine pays more attention to various aspects such as diet, sleep, activities, and even the harmony of yin and yang. Everything must conform to the laws of nature. From this aspect, traditional Chinese medicine is indeed quite scientific.

Perhaps our ancestors did not know what science is, but they understood the laws, and conforming to the laws is actually conforming to science.

As he spoke, Lin Yi picked up a chopstick and stir-fried seasonal vegetables: "Like this dish, Chef Meng deliberately used less oil and salt, which not only retains the original flavor of the ingredients, but also conforms to the concept of health. The same is true for Chinese medicine health preservation, which is not about abstinence and dieting, but about balance and harmony. "

\"Director Lin is right.\" Xun Jiahong smiled and nodded: \"The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine says 'five grains for nourishment, five fruits for assistance, five animals for benefit, and five vegetables for filling', which emphasizes a balanced diet. Blind dieting will damage the spleen and stomach, leading to insufficient qi and blood, and the more you lose weight, the weaker you become.\"

A group of Chinese medicine experts are talking about medical theories when they eat...

Wu Mengmeng stuck out her tongue: "Then I won't go on a diet anymore. I can just practice Ba Duan Jin instead, right?"

"Hahaha......"

The group of people couldn't help laughing.

Hanhan looked at the group of people curiously, tilted her head and asked Chen Yang: "Dad, what are you laughing at?"

"The food is delicious, so I'm happy." Chen Yang said with a smile.

For dinner tonight, a group of people came directly from Liu Xi's house, and Chen Yang also brought Hanhan.

As they were talking and laughing, Meng Xulin personally came in with a plate of exquisite snacks: "Dear experts, try my newly developed 'Fuling Yam Cake', which is good for strengthening the spleen and removing dampness, and is most suitable for consumption in this season."

Chen Yang took the plate and saw that the pastry was made in the shape of a lotus flower, crystal clear, with faint visible particles of Poria cocos and yam inside, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance.

\"Master Meng's cooking skills have really taken medicinal food to the extreme." Xun Jiahong exclaimed, \"It has good color, fragrance and taste, and it also has health-promoting effects. \"

"I didn't expect that he is so proficient in medicine without a master." Lin Yi also said with a smile.

Meng Xulin smiled modestly: "I can't say I'm proficient in it, I just know some of the things I see often. When we cook, it may just be a gimmick sometimes."

"If others say it's a gimmick, we would believe it, but we don't believe what you said, Master Meng." Chen Yang said with a smile.

Those who reach the top in every field are always striving for excellence.

Meng Xulin may not be able to treat diseases, but he must be quite knowledgeable about food ingredients. Many Chinese medicinal materials and food ingredients are interconnected. When famous chefs cook, they also have to consider the properties of the ingredients, such as cold, hot, and warm. Only in this way can they make more delicious food.

Meng Xulin smiled, and like a magic trick, he took out a small food box from behind him: "This is the 'Hawthorn and Tangerine Peel Candy' specially prepared for Hanhan. It is appetizing and helps digestion. Children will definitely like it."

Hanhan glanced at Chen Yang, and when she saw Chen Yang nod, she took it in her hands.

"Why don't you thank Uncle Meng?" Chen Yang said with a smile.

"Thank you, Uncle Meng." Hanhan said sweetly.

The little girl couldn't wait to open the box. Inside, there were a dozen amber candies neatly arranged, sprinkled with fine white icing sugar on the surface, exuding an attractive sweet and sour aroma.

"Try it." Chen Yang ruffled his daughter's hair. Although he had prepared many healthy snacks for Hanhan, the ones made by Meng Xulin himself must be better in taste.

Hanhan carefully picked one up and put it in her mouth. Her big eyes immediately curved into crescents: "Delicious! Sour and sweet!"

Meng Xulin smiled so much that the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes smoothed out: "I'm glad you like it. Uncle has also prepared a box for you to take home and eat slowly."

"Thank you, uncle." After tasting it, Hanhan's mouth felt even sweeter.

"Master Meng, the food is almost ready. Let's sit down and eat together." Chen Yang said to Meng Xulin with a smile.

"Yes, let's sit down and chat together. Maybe Master Meng can make more exquisite medicinal foods." Xun Jiahong said with a smile.

"Thank you, Dr. Chen, and thank you to the experts. There is also a soup. I will chat with you for a while after it is ready." Meng Xulin said with a smile.

After a while, Meng Xulin came over with the soup. Chen Yang and others made a seat for Meng Xulin. Meng Xulin sat down at the side, and the group of people ate and chatted.

Just as Wu Mengmeng complained just now, a group of Chinese medicine masters sat together, and a famous chef like Meng Xulin cooked the meal himself. The group of people ate and talked about medical theories.

For example, steaming sea bass with shredded ginger and green onion can not only remove the fishy smell and enhance the freshness, but also neutralize the coldness of the fish. This is actually consistent with medical principles.

"Traditional Chinese medicine and traditional cuisine actually have the same origin, and there are definitely many similarities between them. Whether it's cooking or treating illnesses, the principles are the same."

Chen Yang smiled and said: "All things have the same origin, in fact, the principles are the same."

"Doctor Chen is right."

Lin Yi smiled and said: "It is said that the best doctor can heal the country, and governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. Look, isn't the principle the same?"

The group of people burst into laughter again.
