Chapter 16 Special Medicinal Diet
In the ward.
Captain Lin was shaking his hand excitedly, "Li'an, the organization is relieved that you're awake! I've reported to the higher-ups about you risking your own life to save your comrades."
"Is Xiao Wang okay?" Yan Li'an asked with concern.
"You are alive and well, how could he be in trouble?" Chen Kai said sarcastically. He was obviously a mediocre person at the beginning, but he could only watch Yan Li'an make meritorious deeds again and again.
Why!
"Please move aside. I won't be responsible if you get burned." Su Jinhui walked in with food in her hand and deliberately shook it when passing by Chen Kai, scaring him so much that he stepped back repeatedly for fear of getting burned.
She snorted proudly. If it really fell on Chen Kai, she would think it was a waste of food!
Wherever Su Jinhui passed, the rich aroma of food wafted in the air, making people swallow their saliva.
The food was placed on the table in front of Yan Li'an. Everyone came over to take a look. The white and tender rice grains were wrapped around the fresh shrimps, and the oysters were still sizzling with oil. It seemed that they had not eaten such greasy food for a long time.
With everyone standing around him, he felt embarrassed to eat alone, "Would you like to share some?"
"No need. This was specially prepared for you by Comrade Jinhui. There's no reason for us to share it." Captain Lin refused without even thinking, noticing that except for Chen Kai, all his men behind him had eager eyes.
Su Jinhui said nothing, but picked up the empty bowl beside her, divided half of it, and handed it over. "I made this myself, everyone, try it."
There was no reason to refuse the food that was handed to him. Captain Lin thanked her repeatedly before taking it. He took a sip and nodded repeatedly, "Delicious! I've had seafood porridge before, but it's never as delicious as yours. It seems Li An has found a treasure. His fiancée is a doctor and a cook. He's really lucky!"
Chen Kai's face darkened and a layer of gloom instantly covered his eyes.
After tasting it, the comrades nodded in praise, "Delicious! So delicious!"
"Deputy Captain Yan, we really envy you! If I could have such a beautiful wife and delicious food, I would also like to lie here!"
"First come, first served! It's my turn to lie down first!"
Everyone laughed.
Chen Kai's lips curled up. "Really? I heard that Comrade Jin Hui not only has a special status but also a questionable character. Even her biological parents want to sever ties with her."
This matter became known to almost everyone, but no one spoke out tacitly.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the ward suddenly became awkward.
After all, the matter is true, and no one can say anything more.
Yan Li'an's eyes swept over him coldly, "I believe her. She's standing right in front of me. I know what kind of person she is at first glance. Why should I listen to what others say?"
"Yes, yes, I don't think Jinhui is that kind of person." Captain Lin quickly came out to smooth things over.
He deeply regretted bringing Chen Kai to visit him. His original intention was to ease the conflict between the two, and since Chen Kai took the initiative to ask to come, he agreed.
Now it seems that Chen Kai is here to cause trouble!
Su Jinhui remained calm and composed, "The innocent are innocent. I have nothing to explain. But as for the identity issue you mentioned, the Su family has severed ties with me, which shows that I wasn't favored in the past and never enjoyed their money. You can't continue to put the hat of a capitalist lady on me, right?"
"Chen Kai, you say!" Captain Lin looked at him, suppressing his anger.
Chen Kai could only grit his teeth and agree, "Yes."
Just one word helped Su Jinhui clear her name.
In order not to disturb Yan Li'an from eating and resting, they all left.
Yan Li'an scooped a full spoonful and put it into his mouth. The fragrance exploded in his mouth, "Delicious!"
"If it tastes good, eat it all!" Su Jinhui was not idle either. She stood beside him preparing the medicine he would take after the meal. Thinking back to what Yan Li'an had just said, ripples appeared in her heart.
It was worth it for all my efforts in treating Yan Li'an's illness.
When Su Jinhui went to the kitchen again, the head chef came over to greet her from afar, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
"Comrade Jinhui, you're finally here!" The head chef took money out of his pocket and stuffed it into her hand. "We don't want your money! From now on, you can use my stove whenever you want. I have no objection!"
Su Jinhui looked down at the money in her hand and then looked up at him, full of doubt. "Just call me Jinhui. To be honest, you didn't prepare a cart of potatoes for me, did you?"
The head chef waved his hands sheepishly. "Oh, what do you think of me? From today on, you don't have to peel even half a potato! Not only that, if you need me, I can even send someone to peel potatoes, onions, and garlic for you. What do you think?"
The attitude of the person in front of me is completely different from yesterday, making it hard not to suspect that there is something fishy going on.
Su Jinhui hesitated, so the head chef could only continue, "If you want to talk about purpose, then of course I have one. Ever since I tasted your food, I've been truly impressed! So I specifically reported to my superiors, hoping to learn and promote it from you. If you don't want to hand over the recipe, you can also join our team of chefs."
"I'm sorry, my ambition is not in the kitchen, but I am willing to teach you. It's just that the two dishes yesterday were time-consuming and laborious, and the dishes you made serve too many people. So, let me help you think of some simple and basic nourishing medicinal food recipes." Su Jinhui said while thinking.
But when she agreed, the chef saw the glimmer of hope and naturally agreed.
After Su Jinhui prepared the soy milk, side dishes and steamed buns, she arranged for someone to deliver them to Yan Li'an's ward.
She stayed in the kitchen, carefully thinking about making a medicinal meal that was both simple and delicious and did not rely on spiritual springs.
…
A flash of inspiration came to her, and she finally had an idea.
A total of four dishes, including kelp and oyster blood-tonifying soup, grouper glutinous rice porridge, cactus jellyfish salad, and sweet potato leaf and seahorse steamed egg, should be enough!
Not only are the ingredients easy to obtain, but they are also medicinal foods that are quite effective without relying on spiritual springs.
When she told the name of the dish to the chef, he excitedly said he wanted to learn it right away.
Su Jinhui was not stingy either, "The oysters in the first kelp soup contain zinc, and the kelp contains iodine, which is suitable for replenishing blood after the war."
"What are zinc and iodine used for?" The chef was confused.
She could only make up a story: "It doesn't matter. I read them all in medical books. Just remember that they can replenish blood."
It seems that I can't explain it too clearly to them, otherwise it will cause trouble.
"Grouper can better promote wound recovery and is suitable as a meal for sick patients! And cactus is suitable for soldiers to eat when they have heatstroke! Sweet potato leaf and seahorse steamed eggs can make soldiers strong and healthy!" Su Jinhui glanced at the other party's notebook and deliberately spoke much slower.
Firstly, it gives the other party time to digest and absorb the information, and secondly, it makes it easier for the chef to take paper and pen to record more completely.
