I sell morning tea in ancient times

early morning.

Tao Zhiyun stood in front of the chopping board, but couldn't help but think of yesterday's scene in her mind, as if there was still a little embarrassment in her heart.

She patted her reddish face, cheered herself up, and started to make today's refreshment—thousand-layer egg yolk cake.

The key to the thousand-layer egg yolk crisp is to make the skin.Tao Zhiyun makes a nest of flour, puts in butter and lard, and kneads it to form an oil core; then makes a nest of another pile of flour, puts sugar, eggs, and lard, mixes it well, adds water, mixes in flour, and kneads until pure. Slip into water skin. *

It was still cold at this time, so Tao Zhiyun packed the oil core and water skin separately, put them in the backyard to freeze and firm up, took them back, and rolled them into a Japanese shape with a rolling pin.Fold the oil core on the water skin, roll it thin, fold it in half again, put it in the backyard to freeze it again, and then take it back and roll it out.After repeating several times, the puff pastry is ready. *

Although it is hard and troublesome to run in and out like this again and again, only the puff pastry made in this way is crispy and delicious when baked.

Next is to make the stuffing.Tao Zhiyun steamed the salted egg yolk, mashed it, added corn flour and made it into a filling. *

Then wrap the stuffing with the skin.Tao Zhiyun rolled the puff pastry thinly and cut it into long strips; rolled the filling into a round strip and spread it on one of the puff pastry; took the other puff pastry, scratched a few times in the middle with a knife, covered the filling, and then Sweep with egg wash, place on a plate and put it in the oven, after it comes out of the oven, coat with honey, and the puff pastry is ready. *

The thousand-layer egg yolk cake exudes a strong aroma as soon as it comes out of the oven, which makes people salivate.The skin of the meringue is baked to a golden brown, and the thin meringue layers are stacked together, with a yellow-orange egg yolk filling in the middle.After one bite, the meringue will fall into the mouth, crisp and attractive; the skin is slightly sweet with honey, and the filling is slightly salty with salted egg yolk.

Tao Zhiyun asked Meteor and Cuiyun to taste one each, and then said to Meteor with a smile: "Meteor, have you learned it yet?"

Meteor looked eager to try, and said with a smile: "It's about [-]% done, miss let me try."

Seeing her enthusiasm, Tao Zhiyun felt half amused and half happy, and nodded in agreement with her request, "Then you can try."

Meteor drew gourds in the same way, piled two piles of flour on the wooden board specially made for pasta, and opened two nests.It was a bit clumsy and the puff pastry was a bit ugly, but it was done successfully.Then it is to make the filling, wrap the stuffing with leather, bake in the oven, and finally coat it with honey.

"Miss, I'm done!" Meteor said excitedly, but after she finished speaking, her lovely eyebrows furrowed suddenly, and she said distressedly: "But what I made is so ugly. Both sides are uneven, the egg yolk The stuffing is not exactly in the middle either."

Tao Zhiyun put the lid on the steamer, and just about to speak, Chu Yang, who rushed over immediately when he heard the meteor's words, suddenly popped his head, and took a serious look at the thousand-layer egg yolk cake on the plate, his voice was a little unstable due to panting, but he was very sincere Authentic: "No way, I think your mille-feuille egg yolk cake is very good-looking, as good-looking as the one made by Miss."

His eyebrows are slightly curved, his eyes are bright, he seems a little embarrassed, and he seems to ask with some expectation: "Can I have a taste?"

For some reason, Meteor's face was stained red, and she said with crooked eyebrows, "Yes." She brought the plate in front of Chu Yang.

Chu Yang reached out and took one, took a bite carefully, closed his eyes and tasted it carefully, which made Meteor tense up, then opened his eyes, and said with a smile: "It's delicious, it's the best I've ever tasted. dim sum."

Meteor was very happy, his eyes suddenly became bright, "There are more here, if you like, I will give you all."

Chu Yang stared fixedly at the shooting star, and said, "I really like them all, so I'll take them all." I don't know if he was talking about snacks or people.

Meteor nodded, smiled and directly stuffed the plate into Chu Yang's hand.

Tao Zhiyun on the side looked expressionless, she shouldn't be here, she should be under the car.

At noon, Qi Yi's grandmother came again.

Her dog wandered around the second floor, making sure that her grandson was not here, so she took a long breath and felt relieved.

Tao Zhiyun looked a little funny, poured a cup of tea for her, and said with a smile: "Grandma, drink a cup of tea to warm yourself up. I asked Chu Yang and the others. Qi Xiang bought three barbecued pork buns this morning and went to the government office." gone."

Old Madam Qi moaned and said: "So what if he is here? He is a junior, I am still afraid that he will fail?"

Tao Zhiyun suppressed a smile and said, "Yes, of course you don't need to be afraid of him."

The two were chatting, but suddenly there was a commotion on the first floor.

Meteor ran upstairs quickly, panting slightly, and said anxiously and panickedly: "Miss, some people brought a pale-faced middle-aged man over, saying that our food was not clean, and he vomited on the bed after eating. Let it out, and be unconscious!"

Tao Zhiyun frowned when she heard the words, and comforted her: "Meteor, don't panic, I'll go down and have a look."

"I'll go down with you," Madam Qi suddenly said, seeing Tao Zhiyun looking at her in surprise, as if trying to dissuade her, she explained: "My father is Shang Sheng."

Shang Sheng?Shang Sheng, who has the best medical skills for a while?Tao Zhiyun and Meteor looked at each other in surprise.

"I learned medicine from my father since I was a child. My father once praised me for learning well, and I got a bit of his authenticity. Maybe I can help later."

"Thank you, grandma." Tao Zhiyun was very grateful and bowed down to give a blessing.

Mrs. Qi hurriedly helped her up, and said angrily: "Well, you girl, what are you doing with me like these vain rituals. It's urgent, let's go down quickly."

Tao Zhiyun felt warm in her heart, and said with a smile, "Okay."

The three hurried downstairs and saw the chaotic scene on the first floor.

A big man in brown cloth was lying on the wooden plank, his eyes were closed tightly, his face was pale, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.Next to him was a delicate woman in a light blue dress, sitting next to the big man and wiping tears, looking very weak and pitiful.

"Wuwu, what kind of crime is this? My husband has always been in good health. Today, I just drank tea and ate some food with you. After returning home, I vomited and fell into a coma. I hurriedly took him to see Doctor, I didn't expect the doctor to directly say that he can't be cured, let us prepare for the funeral."

"Hey, there is only such a pillar in the family. If he goes, how will we orphans and widows live?"

A few men who followed the couple said angrily: "It's all to blame for this black shop that kills thousands of dollars. I don't know what the tea is made of, but it killed my good brother!"

"Where's the shopkeeper? Get her out! If she can't hide anymore, don't blame us for smashing her black shop!"

The people around the door suddenly whispered, and there was a lot of noise.

Tao Zhiyun walked down the last few steps in three steps and two steps, stopping Cuiyun and others behind her, "I am the store owner, just tell me if you have anything to do, don't hurt the people in my store."

When the men saw Tao Zhiyun, their eyes immediately showed surprise, and then they seemed to think of something, the surprise disappeared immediately, and their eyes turned into the anger that had just begun.

"Okay, since you are the owner of the store, let me ask you, the food in your store is unclean and killed my brother, what do you think should I do?" the leader asked sharply.

Tao Zhiyun didn't panic at all.She asked Mrs. Qi with her eyes, the old lady nodded slightly, and she understood what the old lady meant.

Her face was calm, her voice was gentle but firm, "Human life is at stake. Let's save the life of the brother on the board first."

The leading man sneered and said: "We have taken him to see all the doctors in the capital, but they all said that he can't be cured. Do you have any supernatural ability, can you cast spells to revive him?"

Tao Zhiyun didn't get angry because of the sarcasm in his words, but said gently: "Of course I don't have any supernatural abilities, and I don't know any magic spells. But the old lady behind me is the daughter of the genius doctor Shang Sheng, who has been following the magic doctor since childhood. , got the true biography."

"The daughter of the genius doctor Shang Sheng!" There was an exclamation from the crowd, and several men looked at each other in dismay.

Tao Zhiyun stepped aside, the kindly, dignified and kind Mrs. Qi stood up.

"Taodian is right. My father is Shang Sheng. Please make room for me so that I can see the doctor's pulse."

Several men looked at each other for a while, the leader hesitated for a moment, nodded quietly, and stepped aside.

Mrs. Qi walked over and squatted down, stretched out three fingers to rest on the man's hand, felt it carefully, then changed hands, then opened her eyelids to look at the eyeballs, pinched her mouth to look at the coating of the tongue.

"When did he start vomiting and diarrhea?"

The woman recalled, and replied: "It's probably the end of the hour."

"Then when did you become unconscious?"

"After vomiting and diarrhea, he fell into a coma."

Mrs. Qi murmured: "It's strange. If you eat uncleanly, it will cause vomiting and diarrhea, but it shouldn't cause coma. Your hands are cold, your nails are black, your eyes are bloodshot, and your tongue is purple. , vomiting, diarrhea, and unconsciousness, it doesn’t seem like eating unclean food, but rather like eating aquatic plants.”

Kanshui weeds, also known as Kanshui poisonous weeds, are highly toxic. People will vomit, have diarrhea and become unconscious soon after eating them, with cold hands, black nails, bloodshot eyes, and purple tongue coating. They will die after a day.

Perhaps it is because of the strong toxicity of this herb, which is not tolerated by the laws of nature, so it is very rare, and ordinary doctors don't know it, and ordinary people can't easily touch it.She followed her father in and out of the deep mountains and old forests since she was a child, and that's how she got to know him.The method of detoxification is also very simple, just drink three bowls of egg whites raw, and the poison will be solved.

Mrs. Qi asked: "Girl Yun, do you still have eggs in East Kitchen?"

"Yes, Chu Yang just bought it this morning, and there are hundreds of them."

"Remove the yolk from the eggs and fill them with egg whites in three large bowls."

"Yes."

Soon, three bowls of egg whites arrived.

Seeing Mrs. Qi picking up the bowl and about to pour it into the man's mouth, the weak woman at the side quickly stopped her, "What are you doing!"

"It's not that he ate the wrong food, but he ate the water grass, and he can detoxify after drinking the egg white."

The woman's face turned pale when she heard the words, and the faces of the men also changed, and they hurriedly tried to stop them.

As soon as he moved, he was blocked by Chu Yang and others, "What do you want to do? Could it be that you have a ghost in your heart and don't want the daughter of a miracle doctor to cure the patient?" Tao Zhiyun said emphatically the words "daughter of a miracle doctor."

Sure enough, they froze when they heard the words, and the leader insisted: "Of course we want our brother to be fine."

Cuiyun pressed the weak woman on her shoulder, making her unable to move.Cuiyun said softly: "Madam, don't move around, so as not to affect the old lady's treatment."

Mrs. Qi had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and she poured down three big bowls of egg whites in two or three strokes.

After gulping it down, the man's stomach rolled, the paleness on his face disappeared, and he turned green and red, his eyes opened suddenly, and he began to vomit from the side of his head, as if he wanted to vomit his stomach out.

"Spit it up, you'll be fine after you spit it out." Mrs. Qi said with a smile.

After the man vomited, he lay back down again, with his eyes open and his breathing steady.

"I woke up, and my breathing is stable!" The people at the door cheered, their voices were full of exclamation, "As expected of the daughter of a miracle doctor, her medical skills are really good!"
