Chapter 91, Secret Recipe

Looking at Shu Fei at this time, the emperor couldn't help but shake his head gently.<>

"The Tenth Prince's disease must be cured; the Tenth Prince's disease has been planted two years ago. Shu Fei, you don't have to get sick anymore. It's important to treat your child now."

Shu Fei inhaled vigorously, her eyes slid across the faces that were implicitly mocking, and all the flames in her heart were extinguished in clusters c.

Ruhuan helped Shu Fei back to Chengqian Palace in a hurry, and soon Cheng Jue returned. Cheng Jue also came back. This time, there was a little more joy.

Shu Fei's heart lit up, "But have you found the prescription?"

Cheng Jue nodded with a smile, "After all, the master's family and the fourth girl's family are such a wealthy family. Even the people say that children's whooping cough is difficult to treat, but these two families still have some accumulations."

Concubine Shu temporarily put down her panic and hurriedly said, "Tell me quickly!"

"This recipe is a folk remedy. The ingredients are simple, but someone has drunk it and cured it: one big white radish, half a tael of honey, five white pepper, and half a coin of ephedra."

Shu Fei's expression calmed down, "It's easy to find. These are all ready-made in our palace, so there is no need to go to the imperial pharmacy to get medicine. It's not a big deal."

Ruhuan also asked, "How to eat it?"

Cheng Jue replied carefully, "The method of frying is simple: wash the radish, slice it, put it in a bowl, put honey, white pepper, ephedra, etc. in one go, steam for half an hour, take it while it is hot, and you will be cured when you are in bed!"

Cheng Jue was talking lively, and Shu Fei was also on the face at first, but she was still inappropriate in her heart. "Although people treat coughs, radish and honey are commonly used. But whooping cough is different from other coughs, and it is the most difficult to deal with. Are you sure that such simple materials really work?"

Cheng Jue lowered his head awkwardly, "... I have also inquired from many sources. A famous doctor in Jiangnan said that this whooping cough is called "cormorant plague" in Jiangnan. That is to say, people with whooping cough are coughing endlessly, and they feel like foreign objects in their mouths, which cannot be swallowed or vomited, like an osprey cormorant in Jiangnan."

Such a vivid metaphor made Shu Fei close her eyes sadly.

"You don't need to describe what the disease looks like, I know better in my heart! Just say, what do you say about the doctors in Jiangnan? Is there any effective prescription in Jiangnan?"

Cheng Jue bit his lip and said slowly, "...They also said that to treat cormorant plague, use thirty locusts, one qian of raw licorice, grind them into fine powder, half a qian each time, and take three times a day to cure it."

Shu Fei tightened her fingertips, "Locusts, they are locusts again! Why do doctors in Jiangnan think that these locusts are the miraculous effect!"

Cheng Jue sighed deeply, "Or you can also use sparrow meat: one sparrow meat, three cents of rock sugar, stew it, take one each-thing - this is the folk remedy in Jilin; and there are almost the same recipes in Fujian and other places: use a sparrow, pull off the coarse hair, burn it on the fire, remove the internal organs, wash and stew it, one per day, until it gets better..."

"It is said that using sparrow's method has cured more than 80 children with whooping cough...but this sparrow must also eat grasshoppers." Cheng Jue said in the end, his volume gradually became lower as a mosquito.

"So that's it... Haha, so it's still!" Shu Fei slapped the table, "But I don't believe it. If I don't eat locusts, my child will not be cured!"

Her eyes turned cold, "Cheng Jue, go and fry the radish and honey method to take it for the tenth prince. As for locusts and sparrows, you don't need them!"
