Food assistant therapists and pharmacy assistant therapists are similar in that because they both need to deal with food ingredients or medicinal materials. Some ingredients are also both food ingredients and medicinal materials, so there is a cross between the two.
In recent years, Mr. Cai has advocated researching "medicated diet", so many food assistant therapists are also pharmacy assistant therapists.
The movement between the two auxiliary therapy research bases of medicine and food has also increased.
When people move between the bases a lot, there will be more entanglements.
For example, excellent students from the Department of Food Auxiliary Therapy who have studied pharmacy auxiliary therapy suddenly don't want to learn food supplement therapy anymore. They want to switch to the pharmacy supplementary therapy department!
Or they thought it was a good idea to get an outstanding student from the Department of Pharmacy Auxiliary Therapy to help Mr. Cai make a supplementary medicated diet, but he eventually persuaded people to learn food supplementary treatment from him...
The two old men, Zhen Xiang and Cai Youhong, the pharmacist master who looked at each other uncomfortably, have added a few new disagreements. Since then, they will always try to step on each other's feet to make the other party deflate!
Cai Youhong is a dual-master in the food and pharmacy supplementary therapy department, and he is the only food therapist in the entire empire. He has a higher status than Zhen Xiang, who was born in a family of pharmacy therapists. However, the market for supplementary food is generally not as good as supplementary medicine. Therefore most of the time, Cai Youhong is the one who suffers.
Fortunately, Mr. Zhen also knows that the existence of diet therapy is indispensable. He and Cai Youhong quarrel with each other, but the two of them will often work together to study how to make the "medicated diet" not worse than the medicine and without side effects. It's even better if they can improve the flavor.
Although medicinal materials are added to the medicated diet, in the final analysis, it is still food.
Mr. Cai has a grandnephew and proud disciple, Cai Mubai, who is only a senior but has reached advanced dietary therapy and medicinal therapy levels. He also mainly specialized in medicated dietary therapy!
In order to assist him in the research of medicine and diet therapy, Mr. Zhen even found a fairly talented niece from the descendants of his family to study in the Department of Food Auxiliary Therapy, and that was Zhen Rou.
However, Zhen Rou still cannot help him for a while. Her development is still unknown. The most important thing for the Zhen family is to ensure their status in the research of medicated diet.
There are many seedlings who have learned well in the Zhen family's pharmacotherapy, but among the youngest generation, there are no talented top juniors. It doesn't matter. As long as Mr. Zhen can teach one of his disciples into a competent pharmacist, it will also be his credit.
The prospective disciple that Mr. Zhen showed off to Mr. Cai in the morning is naturally the most outstanding of the new students in pharmacy auxiliary therapy, who also has the top spiritual level, Su Qinghe.
In the morning, Mr. Zhen took the medicine that Su Qinghe had just made. He bragged how good this girl was. In less than a week after the beginning of class, she can make first-class auxiliary medicines. Her treatment of medicinal materials is also very unique...
Mr. Cai couldn't hold back anymore and said very uncomfortably, "My prospective apprentice Ling Yaoyao tried it on Star Network a long time ago. She even published a video tutorial on Weibo. This Su Qinghe is nothing but following suit!"
This kind of reputation related to pharmacy versus food supplementary therapy must be compared with each other. Mr. Zhen was immediately unhappy. "The method of processing food materials as medicinal materials, or processing medicinal materials as food materials, I did try it before, but the curative effect was not as good as the original treatment method, so I didn't do more research.
Su Qinghe from our pharmacology department made the auxiliary medicine earlier than that of Ling Yaoyao, and her score in the cultural course was also the first! Even if she got inspiration from Ling Yaoyao, she was able to make first-class auxiliary medicine just by watching her video. It is also her own ability!"
At that time, Cai Youhong didn't know that Ling Yaoyao could make supplementary food at a first-class level, so he couldn't respond on the spot. He was aggrieved in his heart. How uncomfortable!
Fortunately, Teacher Wang just reported to him that Ling Yaoyao's experimental class learning progress has surpassed the average students, and wants to recommend her to the food therapy research base...
This brings the situation to the present.
As soon as Ling Yaoyao arrived, Mr. Cai couldn't wait to take her to the medicinal therapy research base to find Mr. Zhen.
Coincidentally, when Cai Youhong brought Ling Yaoyao over, Mr. Zhen was outside the laboratory, watching how Su Qinghe handled the medicinal materials as food ingredients through the holographic projection.
Of course, Su Qinghe also knew that Mr. Zhen was watching her.
The handling of medicinal materials often requires a lot of attention, and on-site observation may interfere with the pharmacist's mental performance.
Although Mr. Cai brought Ling Yaoyao with him, he didn't tell Mr. Zhen about his purpose in advance. His words were subtle, and he only said that he wanted to use rare medicinal materials in his research base.
Zhen Xiang is twenty or thirty years older than Cai Youhong, and looks a bit rich. His impression of Ling Yaoyao still stayed on "the mental talent is very high, the effect of auxiliary therapy is not known, the cooking skills look good, relying on ancient Chinese cuisine. She is a little girl who likes grandstanding".
Therefore, Mr. Zhen only glanced at Ling Yaoyao indifferently and didn't stop watching.
He waved his hand at Mr. Cai and said impatiently, "Don't be noisy, I'm busy! You know where I put the medicinal materials. Whatever you need, just take it yourself."
They can't blame him. This time is the most critical time for Su Qinghe to make medicine. Mr. Zhen paid much attention to this prospective disciple. Of course, he couldn't be more concerned.
Ling Yaoyao followed his gaze and watched Su Qinghe's concentration on processing medicinal materials. She discovered that Su Qinghe used her method of processing medicinal materials... She didn't expect that Su Qinghe would actually be willing to try such a "wild road"?
She had to say that Su Qinghe is indeed a beauty. Unlike Ling Yaoyao's natural peachy eyes with a touch of femininity and beauty, Su Qinghe looks very elegant and graceful. Her appearance of carefully handling the medicinal materials looks really seductive.
Ling Yaoyao was able to read the entire book of "The Legend of Huanuo" because of the female character with her own name and because her feeling of the female lead is actually quite good.
Since the two met for the first time, Su Qinghe has always smiled at her. She has also greeted her actively two or three times...
This made Ling Yaoyao realize that her fate would be really different from the original owner's fate in the novel.
Perhaps, she didn't have to avoid Su Qinghe too deliberately. After all, both of them were freshmen in the auxiliary therapy department. Their masters are also old friends and rivals. There would be no shortage of meetings and competitions between them in the future.
And with the appearance of "Nikko," that is, Zhao Qingyun, Su Qinghe's younger brother, Su Qinghe will be recognized by the Zhao family sooner or later. Both of them are children of the top military family of the Imperial Capital Star. They would be in the same circle.
In terms of food therapy, she relied on the memory of her previous life as her golden fingers to make small achievements. But Su Qinghe relied on her talent, savvy, and hard work to always be at the forefront.
Ling Yaoyao thought, maybe if she and Su Qinghe could not be friends, it would be nice to be rivals.
The medicine in Su Qinghe's hand was successfully created and placed in the mental activity factor tester. It quickly showed the level, second-level, with efficacy middle-to-high!
Most of the medicinal materials used by Su Qinghe are first-class medicinal materials, and only two of them are second-class medicinal materials. She can't fully extract the essence with her mental power, so she chooses to get rid of impurities and then grind them into medicine.
Although the second-level middle-to-upper class medicine that came out in this way has the element of opportunism, it also means that she is no longer an "apprentice assistant therapist", but a "primary assistant therapist"!
Cai Youhong's face turned red into a pig liver color. He brought Ling Yaoyao over originally intending to show off. He also accepted a very good prospective disciple, who was not inferior to Su Qinghe. Her supplementary food is also a first-class level, and it is super delicious! If the other party doesn't believe him, he will let Yaoyao show her hands on the spot!
But who knows, before he had time to show off, he was caught off guard. He was dazzled by Su Qinghe's "second-level middle and upper class"!
He was caught off guard this time!
Although most of the supplementary foods made by Ling Yaoyao at home are first-class ingredients, the supplementary therapy effect is comparable to the highest level that a master-level auxiliary therapist can reach when dealing with first-class ingredients.
That means, when converted into the level of the mental activity factor, it will also be first-class.
Ling Yaoyao has actually done a lot of the second-level ingredients. Although she has not measured the level of mental activity factor, the "second-level middle and upper class" should be no problem.
But there is no proof.
Ling Yaoyao looked at Mr. Zhen's elated face, and she couldn't help asking, "Is the second-level middle-upper class very powerful?"
Mr. Zhen glanced at her unhappily, "Of course, it's amazing!"
It was not long after Su Qinghe entered school. Most of the time, she only came into contact with first-level medicinal materials. She just learned to deal with second-level medicinal materials, and she casually made a "second-level middle and upper class," which is simply genius! Even Mr. Zhen, a master-level pharmacy assistant therapist, couldn't do this back then!
Mr. Cai looked embarrassed and said, "This little girl doesn't know this well. Besides, our Yaoyao is also very good. She just made a green sprout dish in her class, and it was all first-class!"
In the morning, Mr. Zhen felt that it was really great to be able to make "first-level first-class" at the beginning of school. There have only been a few in the Huanuo First Military Academy in more than a decade, but his prospective apprentices just made "Second-level middle-upper class." Mr. Zhen suddenly felt that "first-level first-class" was nothing.
Mr. Zhen smiled and said, "It's really good to be able to make a first-level in your class. If you can calm down and concentrate on studying, it would be better. Rather than start thinking about flying before you learn how to walk."
The implication implies that Ling Yaoyao's own level is only a first-class level, but she was not embarrassed to upload a teaching video on the Star Network. It was too much seeking attention.
Mr. Cai was about to go crazy, but Ling Yaoyao only said quietly, "It's time to get medicinal materials! Don't we have to go back to make supplementary treatment medicinal food?"
Mr. Cai was dragged away by Ling Yaoyao, but he was still so angry that he couldn't help turning his head and rolling his eyes at Mr. Zhen.
Mr. Zhen was in a good mood. He was not angry and waved his hand, "If you can't find a combatant to try, we have a lot of guinea pigs here. You can borrow it!"
He meant real guinea pigs. A first-class animal, an omnivorous animal, has a strong vitality, and has a lot of fighting power. When fed with supplementary food, in theory, it should be more powerful...
But often only take a bite of supplementary food, and they start to foam at the mouth. Cute babies will be poisoned to death by dark cuisine. They are so pitiful.
As for the new products developed by the pharmacists, they only need to inject a certain dose into the mice to verify that it is safe and not fatal. There is absolutely no danger for trial users.
Ling Yaoyao dragged Mr. Cai to the pharmaceutical material room.
Mr. Cai said depressedly, "I didn't expect that old man Zhen's apprentice would be so good... But you don't need to care about what he said. I know that you recorded the instructional video to prove that you are Eleven and arouse everyone's interest in ancient Chinese cuisine. The effect of auxiliary therapy is second."
It's not the first time that Cai Youhong has suffered from Zhen Xiang. He is very used to it. The food supplementary therapy department is inferior to the pharmaceutical supplementary therapy department in all aspects. But this time, he brought Ling Yaoyao with him, and he originally hoped to rely on her. It would prove that his vision was not worse than that of the old man Zhen.
Who knows, he made Ling Yaoyao was despised and misunderstood!
Ling Yaoyao smiled, "Assistant therapist is in fact similar to combatants. It's useless to talk. It's better to speak with strength!"
As she said this, she blinked and said, "You said you wanted me to make a dish that is so delicious that they want to kneel down and call you Dad! I don't know what it mean to think about flying before walking? I'm a little fairy. I can fly if I can't walk!"
Her confident appearance is so cute!
Mr. Cai was immediately excited again. He rubbed his hands and said, "What delicious thing are you going to make? I... I will ask your senior brother to help you! But he has had something to do in the last two days and is not in school. Or... wait until he comes back next week?"
Cai Youhong took the initiative to ask Ling Yaoyao if she needed Cai Mubai's help because he was worried that the food supplementary therapy made by Ling Yaoyao was delicious, but the supplementary therapy effect was not good enough...
Ling Yaoyao shook her head and said, "I can do it by myself. There are still many opportunities to study and discuss with Brother Cai, so I'm not in a hurry this time."
She took a lot of medicinal materials from the lab. Some of which are indeed rare, but most of them are still very common.
This time, Ling Yaoyao's dishes are more complicated than ever before. "Buddha Jumps Over The Wall"!
[T/N: "Buddha Jumps Over The Wall" is a kind of soup full of Chinese delicacies simmered long and slow until extremely tender. The dish's name is an allusion that the dish has such a heavenly scent that it could entice the strictly vegetarian Buddha to jump over the wall to sample this meat-based dish. See Youtube video at the bottom of the page.]
All Chinese foodies should have heard the reputation of "Buddha Jumps Over The Wall". In her previous life, Ling Yaoyao deliberately went out to eat it once or twice a year.
Ling Yaoyao tried to make it several times under the guidance of her grandmother. It may be that Ling Yaoyao is really talented in cooking and uses the best materials. Her finished products are really comparable to those famous stores.
The manufacturing process of "Buddha Jumps Over The Wall" is very cumbersome. There are several methods. The traditional method has dozens of raw materials, the common method is more than a dozen raw materials, and the homemade method is six main materials.
Ling Yaoyao chose the common method. The main ingredients are abalone, sea cucumber, fish maw, yak gelatin, king trumpet mushroom, tendons, flower mushrooms, cuttlefish, scallops, quail eggs, etc.
To put it simply, you must first prepare these more than a dozen ingredients separately, then gather them together and put them in a wine jar. Then add broth and Shaoxing wine, and simmer for more than ten hours to achieve a mellow and delicious dish.
Shaoxing wine was definitely gone. Ling Yaoyao had to use the more famous rice wine in the Star Age. As for the wine jar, she could only use a retro ceramic jar.
Because these ingredients are not commonly used ingredients, which are not available in the diet therapy research base, Ling Yaoyao asked a steward robot to help her purchase them through the supplementary food shop under her name. For some ingredients that were not available in this era, Ling Yaoyao substitutes it based on her understanding of the taste of the ingredients in the Interstellar Age during this time.
It takes a lot of preparation to make this dish, and it would take too long. Ling Yaoyao had to take Mr. Cai back.
When it's done, they will find a good-sounding reason to invite Mr. Zhen to the food therapy research base, let him smell the fragrance, but don't take the initiative to invite him to try it and only let him see the mental effect...
The scene must be very exciting then.
Mr. Cai hesitated a bit. He was "cheated" by Ling Yaoyao once, so he was very aware of this little girl's tricks. But with only one dish, can such an effect really be achieved?
Mr. Zhen is not the kind of person who has to eat spicy food or be unhappy. He doesn't eat spicy food at all, and he doesn't really care about appetite.
But looking at the little girl's confidence, he would believe her this time!
On the other side, when Su Qinghe came out with the newly made "Second-level Middle and Upper Class" medicine, she was praised by the old man Zhen.
Su Qinghe was a little embarrassed and said, "Actually, this is not all my own credit. I was inspired by the instructional video uploaded by Ling Yaoyao from the Department of Food Auxiliary Therapy, so I thought of treating medicinal materials as food ingredients... I have tried many dishes from her Star Network store, and I feel that the mental activity factors are almost all first-class and second-class!
Because classmate Ling Yaoyao is too good, I thought that I could not lag behind her too much. I started to try Level 2 medicine now. It would be great if I had the opportunity to discuss and exchange the processing methods of ingredients and medicinal materials with Ling Yaoyao!"
Zhen Xiang didn't expect that the girl who seemed to be flashy and sensational was really quite capable and had such a big influence on Su Qinghe!
It seems that he didn't have enough understanding but already decided on such a general conclusion... He didn't expect that old man Cai would find a good seedling!
"I just chase her away." How could he say this to his apprentice?
Zhen Xiang looked embarrassed and said, "Ling Yaoyao that you mentioned... She and Mr. Cai were just here..."
The name is very special, and the little girl is very beautiful and eye-catching. It is not difficult for Zhen Xiang to remember her.
Su Qinghe immediately looked excited and looked around. "Ah? Where is she? I've wanted to talk to her face to face for a long time! Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance..."
They occasionally met, and she took the initiative to say hello. But Ling Yaoyao was always dazed and confused. She nodded lightly, then turned around and left.
Zhen Xiang became vigilant. "You are a pharmacy supplementary therapy department. What are you doing so close to the food supplementary therapy department? If you dare to be fooled by old man Cai to jump over to his department and follow him to learn diet therapy, don't learn pharmacy from me in the future!"
Su Qinghe: "Ah, no... I just want to learn, communicate and encourage each other!"
Unable to bear Su Qinghe's excitement, Zhen Xiang decided to find this person in two days and took his prospective apprentice to visit the food therapy research base.
In the evening, Ling Yaoyao finally finished all the preparations for the "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall", put it in a large pot, and let it simmered slowly.
If it hadn't been for her to tell Mr. Cai that it would take more than ten hours until the stew was complete, Mr. Cai would not want to go to sleep. He would like to see the finished product immediately.
When she returned to the dormitory, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. Ling Yaoyao was tired all day, and after washing, she lay down on the bed.
Last night, she replied to his greeting and good night but did not receive a reply from Ling Xuan. Even today's good morning greetings had disappeared.
Ling Yaoyao was extremely sleepy, but because she was worried about that person's safety, she could not sleep at all for fear of an accident.
She sent another greeting message, and after waiting for a while, she still didn't get a reply.
Ling Yaoyao couldn't help but take the initiative to call his communication device. After a while, she was finally connected, but what came from the other side was not Ling Xuan's voice... but a strange male voice.
It was Cheng Bin, Ling Xuan's adjutant, who received the communication.
He has the secondary communication authority of Ling Xuan's Communicator, and he can answer incoming calls on his behalf.
Seeing a call from "Little Fairy," he just felt like a clap of thunder rumbling through his brain. He didn't expect Ling Xuan, that old-fashioned guy, would actually use such an irritating nickname...
When Cheng Bin faintly guessed that Ling Xuan's favorite person was probably his own sister, he later confirmed it with him, but Ling Xuan never admitted it.
Cheng Bin was really curious. What kind of person can make Ling Xuan, the big iron tree, bloom? This Ling Yaoyao used to be an arrogant big lady. Is it true that women change at eighteen, and she has become a good cook?
Driven by curiosity, Cheng Bin accidentally clicked accept the call...
The little girl's voice was sweet and moving, and she asked with a trace of sullen anger in her tenderness, "Smelly Ling Xuan, why don't you reply to my message if you are okay!"
Cheng Bin's ears were crisp as soon as he heard her voice. Thinking that this is a friend's sister or a friend's future wife, he hurriedly said with a correct attitude. "I am not Ling Xuan, well, I am his adjutant, Cheng Bin, may I ask who you are...?"
Ling Yaoyao heard the wrong voice and hurriedly asked, "This is Ling Yaoyao. What's wrong with Ling Xuan? Has something happened to him?"
Since it was Ling Xuan's relatives, Cheng Bin could still reveal his injuries without endangering the secrets of the mission.
He explained, "We had another enemy attack yesterday. Didn't Ling Xuan get a mental disorder before? In order to repel the enemy, he used his mental power... but you can rest assured that there is no major problem. Fortunately, he ate his sister's food in time... That is, um, the supplementary food you made for him. Probably because the supplementary food you made is very effective, he quickly recovered from the mental mania, and his mental level barely dropped. Now Ling Xuan needs absolutely quiet isolation and treatment for two or three days. His mental domain is still overused, and he still has mild mania. He can be restored to his original state in about two days!"
Ling Yaoyao's heart raised up and down violently, and then she repeatedly confirmed that Ling Xuan was okay before she could put down her panic.
She was still very worried. "Then does he still need supplementary food? If necessary, you can send someone over to the Huanuo First Military Academy in the Imperial Capital Star. I will prepare more..."
Regardless of whether she likes him or not, Ling Xuan is her family member. She never wants him to have any accidents! It's a pity that she can't help with anything. What she can do is probably to prepare more supplementary food!
In Ling Xuan's current state, it is not advisable to take too many auxiliary medicines. Otherwise, the side effects will be too big, and it will affect his combat power. The effect of auxiliary music therapy is too slow, and there is really a need for more effective auxiliary foods for him.
However, Ling Xuan had no appetite for the food prepared by the X-312 master food assistant therapist.
For the time being, the X-312 star is currently on the first level alert. It is relatively safe, but it may not be like this after a while. Ling Xuan must recover as soon as possible.
Cheng Bin thought for a while and said, "If it is convenient, I will go to your school at noon tomorrow to pick up some supplementary food. You can prepare it in advance in the morning!"
