Edo Traveler

v7 Chapter 57: Donuts cure beriberi

Tokugawa Ieki has his own political considerations, which cannot be guessed by others. Anyway, as soon as the news of Tokugawa Yoshiki's entry into the Kishu clan was announced, Mizuno Tadakuni, Ooka Tadaguro, and others were quite "lost."

Matsudaira Qixuan, who was not even afraid of anyone except Tokugawa Jiaqing, stayed for several days, thanking guests behind closed doors, and didn't know what to think of at home.

Chungemon was also very surprised when he heard the news. Matsudaira Raigaku of the Kishu branch did not choose, and he chose the son of Tokugawa Masaki, whom he hated the most. As a monarch, Tokugawa Ieaki sometimes acted elusively. Impenetrable!

What to do?

Now Chuemon and Iron Brothers Suke Six are sitting together, unable to do anything. I can't say buying murder. Tokugawa Yoshiki is indeed in Edo, right under Chuemon's nose. But he had just been declared by Tokugawa Ieki to be the lord of the Kishu domain. At this time, if the murderer killed him, Chuemon must not die.

Chuemon at least knew that Tokugawa Kikuchiyo, that is, the future Tokugawa Ieshige could live 21, but in the eyes of people of the time, Kikuchiyo was just a young child in his arms. It was really possible at any time. Premature existence. But Tokugawa Kyoshi is already a half-year-old child over thirteen years old, and he will be able to do personnel affairs in two years.

Look and see, it is that Tokugawa Keiki is more likely to inherit the Datong than Tokugawa Kikuchiyo and ascend to the throne of the shogunate generals!

That's why we know that Tadashiemon knew that in history, Tokugawa Ieshige succeeded under the strong recommendation of the important members of the genealogy, and even Tokugawa Yoshiki, who was once suppressed, couldn't raise his head.

Therefore, if you want to avoid being taken over by Tokugawa Yoshiki, there is only one best way to retaliate, and that is to keep Tokugawa Kashige alive. In this way, the Chuemon and others who participated in the support will not only not be liquidated, but they will also be able to hold power.

Let him live!

Live long!

Tokugawa Iamatsu finally died of beriberi. To put it bluntly, it was a vitamin B1 deficiency. Chuemon had also considered this matter before, and now he must put it on the agenda immediately. When considering a solution to this matter, a TV series called "Benevolent Medicine" gave Chungemon a lot of inspiration.

To put it bluntly, beriberi is a disease of wealth, because the wealthy people eat polished rice, so they lack the vitamin B1 contained in rice bran. Now it is nothing more than finding a way to let them supplement vitamin B1.

The method in "Benevolence Doctor" is to make Ghanaian rings, in short, doughnuts. Because these days the rich not only eat (shielded) polished rice, but also love sweets very much. How about the sugar monopoly of the Shimadzu family can make huge profits?

If you want to come to Tokugawa Kikuchiyo as a child, you should love donuts!

Compared with beriberi and violent death at the age of twenty-one, tooth decay or something, at most, tooth extraction, becoming a toothless boy, is definitely better than dying early.

How should I tell people that just eating doughnuts made of soybeans, wheat, and sweet potatoes that are rich in vitamin B1 can treat beriberi?

"Where is the doctor Ogata who helped people inoculate cowpox?" Chuemon raised his head and asked Shuroku.

"It's just under the castle. It's not clear where it is. It's as big as Edo and there are so many people. You can't find anyone if you wander every day." Although Shuroku assisted Ogata Hongan to promote cowpox, he had a lot of chores. Where do you live?

"Go and invite him, I have something to tell him!"

Today, the most famous doctor in Edo Castle is definitely Ogata Koan. Because he helped the young master of the Nabeshima family of the Saga feudal clan and Tian Anqingzang inoculate cowpox, they avoided smallpox and everyone admired them for a while. It is said that his medical skills are superb, and there is already a legend of healed people.

If you want ordinary people to accept that eating doughnuts can be treated, or at least to relieve beriberi, a famous doctor like him is required to endorse. Then cure so few patients suffering from beriberi, then this will be done.

"You don't have a child to get acne, what do you ask him to do?" Having said that, but Zhiliu kept on going out to greet his entourage, and invited Ogata Hongan to come home.

"Alan Alan, go and invite the owner of the dim sum shop where our family had been buying milk rolls before." Chuyou Weimen was not idle either.

Although donuts are not difficult to make, we can't do it either. We should find someone who specializes in desserts to make them. We are responsible for giving advice and guidance.

At that point, Alan was confused, but the festival was not in time, and he called the owner of the dim sum shop to do something. If you want to eat milk rolls, they are delivered directly. The fruit shop originally delivered them to your door.

"That's it!" Chuemon was inconvenient to explain.

When someone was called, Chuemon directly ordered him to make doughnuts at home. Soybeans are used in Japanese desserts, which are mainly eaten with soy flour such as warabi mochi and rice cakes. The flour is not very much. Now Chungemon instructs him to mix bean noodles and flour together to make dough, then deep-fry it in a frying pan, and finally sprinkle icing sugar on top or apply red bean puree directly.

In short, let people eat whole grains~lightnovelpub.net~ Don't eat so fine, eat too fine, like the vitamin B1 on the surface of the rice, isn't it crushed by the rice.

Fortunately, the level of grinding noodles is relatively poor this year, so the commonly used flour is not the kind of refined noodles. In later generations, the flour sold in supermarkets is actually divided into low-gluten flour, medium-gluten flour and high-gluten flour. One grain of wheat can produce three kinds of flour. Now we are using the kind of flour milled from the outermost layer of wheat, which is roughly considered "coarse grain".

The owner of the dim sum shop didn’t know what Chuemon was doing. The fried food was of course very fragrant. When Ieyasu Tokugawa saw sea bream tempura, it was also a big move with his index finger. He was in his seventies. I ate a lot. The result was naturally a twitching stomach for several days and almost lost his life.

But compared to other desserts, what special advantages does this donut have? They can also be deep-fried, can also be filled with fillings, or even use the best refined white noodles. Your dough mixed with bean noodles and coarse white noodles is definitely not good.

I don't care if you can do it, as long as it can cure beriberi!

Dismissed the people, and Ogata Hongan arrived in the evening. He is very busy now, running every day to inoculate cowpox. But he was very happy, similar to the kind of recognition that his career has been recognized by many people, and he felt a sense of accomplishment. The whole person is smiling and in good spirits.

Had it not been for the famous Edogawa-sama to invite him, he might not have time to come now. There are so many children in Edo waiting for him to save, but he is more concerned than clinging to the powerful.

"The official doesn't talk much gossip, only one, eating this thing can cure beriberi!"
