Chapter 85 Pei Hanchuan: I trust her!
The other side.
Pei family compound, study.
In the spacious and majestic study, there sat a charming woman in cheongsam. The charm emanating from her lush and fluffy curly hair and the sharpness hidden in her slightly drooping almond-shaped eyes blended together strangely, forming a temperament that made people unable to look away.
This person is none other than Pei Mingzhu, the current head of the Pei family. Even the cynical Pei Hanchuan would tense up when he saw her and respectfully call her "sister".
At this moment, there was an ordinary notebook in front of Pei Mingzhu. Turning the pages one by one, she could see the patterns of little people with round heads and round brains drawn on the notebook.
Pei Mingzhu frowned slightly and asked, "Is that what she said?"
"Sister, it's true! I swear! That's what she said." Pei Hanchuan wanted to raise three fingers and point to the sky to swear, "She said that Tianci's illness is not actually an illness, but a congenital weakness. There's no need for medicine, just strengthening the body will be enough. Let's practice the 'Eight-Section Brocade' and 'Five Animal Exercises' she drew. It will definitely work over time."
As Pei Hanchuan spoke, he carefully glanced at Pei Mingzhu's expression and continued to speak for Chu Yue.
"Sister, I've been studying the movements of these little figures all night. They look very simple, without any dangerous moves or strenuous exercises. Tianci will definitely be able to do it. From now on, as long as I'm at home, I will make sure to get up early every day and exercise with Tianci."
Pei Mingzhu raised her eyes from her notebook and looked at Pei Hanchuan beside her. She asked in a cold tone, "Do you trust her so much?"
The "she" mentioned here is naturally Chu Yue.
Pei Hanchuan actually nodded, "I believe her."
Even though Pei Hanchuan had only met Chu Yue twice, in those brief interactions, he was impressed by Chu Yue's composure when she saved Pei Tianci, and her calmness when they met for the second time.
She clearly saw how he was dressed, clearly saw the expensive car, and clearly could have asked for a huge sum of money, which the Pei family could afford.
But Chu Yue didn't do that.
Pei Hanchuan's unwavering belief made Pei Mingzhu's expression change slightly, and her fingers gently opened the notebook again.
Can these pictures of little people really be used as a "prescription" to treat Pei Tianci?
Because it involves a child, Pei Mingzhu must be extremely careful.
Pei Hanchuan glanced at the clock and asked Pei Mingzhu, "Sister, where's Tianci? It's already ten o'clock, isn't he up yet?"
"Well, he was a heavy sleeper, so I didn't wake him."
Because she mentioned the child, Pei Mingzhu's words didn't sound as cold as at the beginning, but had a touch of imperceptible tenderness.
When Pei Hanchuan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he became visibly excited.
Because Pei Tianci is weak and has poor sleep quality, he easily wakes up in the middle of the night and does not sleep for long in the morning. He does not like to sleep in like other children.
Especially in recent days, Pei Tianci had a cold and fever. Although he was drowsy, he coughed and broke out in cold sweats from time to time, and would wake up after only one or two hours of sleep.
Only when Pei Mingzhu hugged him would he feel a little more comfortable.
But today, Pei Mingzhu was not in the room, and Pei Tianci was still sleeping.
Pei Hanchuan thought of a possibility, "Sister! Did you do as I said? Right here...this spot. Did you do it yesterday when you were bathing Tianci?"
This was also the prescription Chu Yue gave yesterday. She said that flushing the Dazhui acupoint with hot water for a long time can replenish the body's yang energy and is also effective for children's colds.
After Pei Hanchuan returned home, he immediately told Pei Mingzhu.
Pei Mingzhu remained noncommittal at the time and did not say whether she believed it or not.
But last night—
When Pei Mingzhu slept with the child, Pei Tianci's coughing became significantly less, he no longer broke out in cold sweats at night, nor did he wake up in the middle of the night, and even his sleep time became longer.
For a growing child, these changes are obviously good for the body.
So Pei Mingzhu took out Chu Yue's notebook again early this morning and read it carefully. Perhaps the person who drew these little people was really quite extraordinary.
Pei Mingzhu's eyes darkened and she made a decision.
She handed the notebook to Pei Hanchuan, "Hanchuan, starting tomorrow, you will take Tianci and follow the diagram above to exercise."
"Okay! Sister, I told you a long time ago that she is really amazing. You must be right to believe in her." Pei Hanchuan smiled complacently, as if Chu Yue's amazingness was his own, and at the same time, he said, "Sister, you are so busy with your business, why not let me take care of Tianci? I will bathe Tianci from now on. I know where the bathing place is. Besides, it is very convenient for me and my nephew to bathe each other since we are both boys-"
"No need." Pei Mingzhu interrupted Pei Hanchuan's chatter, "I can take care of Tianci myself. Just don't cause any trouble for me, or secretly take him out to play or eat any messy food."
"Sister, it was an accident last time. It really was an accident. Tianci was so happy at the beginning..."
Pei Mingzhu didn't listen to Pei Hanchuan's explanation anymore. She got up and left the study, leaving Pei Hanchuan alone with his notebook, studying hard.
This time, he must impress his sister!
…
The next day.
Just like the day before, Chen Fengying came to Chu Yue's house early in the morning, thinking about the pig skin jelly that Chu Yue had worked so hard and carefully to make using so many steps.
She is waiting to see the finished product.
However, before seeing the pig skin jelly, Chen Fengying first saw a pile of braised pig intestines and pig ears.
After Chen Fengying returned home yesterday, Chu Yue cooked all the pig offal she bought by herself. There was no more fishy smell, and it was all braised into a beautiful soy sauce color.
When braising, Chu Yue was particularly willing to add a lot of rock sugar, mixing it with lard to make sugar color, so the color of the finished product was particularly beautiful, as if it was covered with a layer of oil, shiny and sparkling.
The kitchen was filled with the aroma of braised pork.
Chen Fengying was truly amazed. "Sister Chu... your cooking skills... are almost as good as the chefs in my hometown village, the kind that can host buffets. And what about your pork skin jelly? Let me see it! Let me see it! I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, I've been thinking about it all night."
Chu Yue didn't let Chen Fengying wait long and took out the basin of pig skin jelly.
Yesterday we reached the last step of the production. After mixing the shredded pork skin and water in a ratio of 2:1, we steamed it in an iron pot for two hours.
In two hours, the gelatin contained in the pig skin completely dissolved under the high temperature, turning the pure water into a viscous state that would become stringy when placed on the fingers.
Then pour it into a basin and let it cool.
After freezing overnight, the pig skin jelly has completely solidified.
As Chu Yue took it out, Chen Fengying saw the formed pig skin jelly, which was actually - transparent.
Crystal Pig Skin Jelly
It is clear and translucent, glittering and glowing, just like a crystal jelly. (Picture)
