Chapter 366: : Wealth

Ye Chen discovered that although Ames had lost ten kilograms by taking Chinese medicine, he was still a little different from ordinary people. Seeing him like this, Ye Chen knew that just drinking medicine like that would not work.
It is now at the gate of the software park, and there are people coming in and out, so naturally they will not talk here, but will follow them to Revlon's headquarters.
This is a very distinctive construction. It can be said that 80% of the three-story buildings are made of steel and glass. As for the dirt, bricks and stones, there are few. Ye Chen asked Ames to walk upstairs. , That point of height is naturally nothing.
At the beginning, Ye Chen thought it would be at least a dozen stories high. In that case, Ames would go to get off work every day to exercise by climbing stairs.
Going up to the door of an elegant and quiet office on the second floor, Taylor opened the door. When Ye Chen and Ames entered inside, they found that the president's office, Ames, was much simpler than the offices of senior leaders in China. Now, apart from the computer and phone on the desk, the others are some foreign books, and there is no other excessive decoration.
When Ames sat down on his special chair, Ye Chen felt that the other party had just walked that distance with him. Now when he sits down, he actually panted a little, indicating that his condition is still really very good. serious.
"Doctor Ye, do you drink tea or coffee?" Secretary Taylor asked.
"Drink tea!" Ye Chen said.
However, after Taylor prepared a cup of tea for Ye Chen, Ye Chen discovered that it was a cup of red tea. After taking a sip, he found that the tea was very sweet, and even without sugar, Ye Chen guessed it should be. The black tea that Westerners like to drink is naturally completely different from the domestic tea.
"President Ames, do you usually drink this black tea?" Ye Chen asked.
"Yes, I also like to drink this kind of black tea now. I rarely drink coffee anymore. Don't know what's the problem?" Actually, black tea is also available in China, but it is abundant in Sri Lanka and India. It is also British for Western countries. Cultivated black tea.
Ames is an American, and he has the same taste as Europeans. When he can't drink coffee, he drinks black tea instead.
Although black tea is also a tea beverage, Ye Chen feels that this black tea is still very different from other teas. However, now he will not say this, but first ask: "Then what food do you usually eat?"
"Doctor Ye, before I did not drink the prescription you prescribed, what I ate was exquisite and special steak, or bread, ham and bacon. These are all raw materials imported from the United States. Don't worry about whether the food on the side is safe." After Ames finished speaking in English, Taylor on the side was translating.
Although Ames is right, China’s food safety is indeed worrying, but this Ames eats too well and is too refined, and even the food is shipped from the Pacific Ocean all the way. Of course, Ye Chen knew that Ames himself had obesity, and his family should be more worried about his safe diet.
"Anything else?" Ye Chen asked.
"Actually, I myself have a perfect and complete recipe, which was specially made by an American nutritionist based on my situation." Ames said.
With the cosmetics family like Ames, it must have eaten well and exquisitely from birth. This reminds Ye Chen of the detailed records of ancient Chinese medicine on this aspect.
No matter what time or age, there will be rich people, poor people, and some rich people will be rich. From the record of a Chinese medicine doctor in the Ming Dynasty, a large landlord in the south of the Yangtze River has fertile land in his home and hundreds of textile workshops. At home, there are hundreds of slaves in the house. Such a rich big landlord usually leads a life that is no worse than the current rich man.
They usually eat the most refined rice, the delicacies of the mountains and seas that ordinary people can’t eat. They deliberately pursue the best nutrition and the best food. On the contrary, they are more likely to get sick. The unified name for their sickness is all It is called the disease of wealth.
People with wealthy disease are not only obese. Compared with other ordinary families, there are more diseases. One of the major reasons for this disease is that they are too obese.
In modern times, the disease of wealth is also called the disease of modern civilization, including constipation, obesity, intestinal cancer, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, diabetes, ventilation and so on. Although ancient Chinese medicine did not classify those diseases so clearly, it basically refers to this type of obesity-related diseases.
Now that he saw Ames' situation, Ye Chen knew it at a glance. In addition to Ames' own endocrine disorders, which had great causes, other reasons had a lot to do with his own living habits.
"Then President Ames, can you bring your recipe over to show me?" Ye Chen asked.
"Of course." Ames was in the drawer of the desk and quickly found a paper document like a contract.
When Ye Chen opened it, he found that there were English and Arabic numerals on it, but he probably understood it clearly. Seeing the recipe above, it can be said that from Monday to Sunday, each meal above, what Ames should eat and what should not be eaten, are clearly marked on it, and even the amount of food marked on it, and All the vitamins contained are clear.
As Ames’ secretary, Taylor usually deals with company affairs. Another place is to prepare food for Ames according to that recipe.
This is a recipe developed by a well-known nutritionist in the United States. Over the years, Ames has made it according to his recipes. Therefore, Ames and Taylor felt that each other was very authoritative and followed them every day.
Seeing Ye Chen frowning now, Ames asked strangely: "Doctor Ye, don't you know what's wrong with this recipe?"
"There is a problem, of course there is a problem." Ye Chen thought that Ames really listened to what he had instructed last time to eat less meat and more ordinary vegetables.
Unexpectedly, Ames actually solved the food according to this recipe. No wonder, although Ames seems to have lost ten pounds, his situation should still be the same as before.
"Ames, let me tell you a story first!" Ye Chen said. After he told the story of the ancient famous doctor treating the big landlord in full, Ames seemed to have understood that the landlord was in the same situation as him. However, that landlord seems to be much richer than him.
"Doctor Ye, I don't know how the Ming Dynasty doctor treated that rich man?" Ames asked.
"Let him stop pursuing exquisite food, the delicacies of mountains and seas as before, but eat more coarse grains like ordinary people. For example, wheat, soybeans, sweet potatoes, corn, sorghum, etc. Of course, the last one is to cure the one. The landlord’s illness, he ate another kind of coarse grain."
"What whole grains?" Ames asked hurriedly.
"Bran, rice bran." Ye Chen smiled.
"What is rice bran?" Ames and Taylor felt baffled when they heard them.
"Rice bran refers to the husk powder outside of the rice. There was no electric rice milling machine like that in ancient times. It was used to make people or use a horse to pull a stone to grind the rice. Therefore, there are a lot of rice in the end, and some husks are still stuck. This is what ordinary people call rough rice."
"This kind of coarse rice is probably also eaten by few people now. However, in ancient times it was eaten by most ordinary people, except for the rich landlords, who ate the most delicate, without any husks. That kind of polished rice, and the remaining layer of rice husk is ground into bran powder, which is mainly used to feed livestock and poultry. This is the same in ancient times and modern times."
"Of course, when you are hungry, you can also use the rice bran to make cakes or boil water to eat, and you won't die from starvation." Ye Chen said.
At this time, Ames and Taylor understood. In fact, if you are a Chinese, you can basically understand it when you say it, because most Chinese people eat rice or are exposed to rice. However, European and American countries eat bread, and few know rice.
However, both Ames and Taylor felt confused when they heard it. Is the rice bran really that good?
