"You didn't take good care of yourself when you were young, and you want to be as old as me now. You must be regretting it!"
"Besides, don't I have to buy these things? Just drink them peacefully. As for whether it costs money or not, you don't have to worry about it."
Ge Huiyun said in a very rich manner.
What could Tian Tian do? She could only rely on Ge Huiyun for help.
After Ge Huiyun finished talking to Tian Tian, she pulled Tian Zhuo, who was cooking at home, and explained to him in detail how to make bird's nest and peach gum.
She was a poor person in her previous life and had never eaten bird's nest and peach gum. But even though she had never eaten pork, she had seen pigs run and knew how to eat bird's nest and peach gum. But she was still curious about how Ge Huiyun made the bird's nest.
She remembered that the most common way to eat bird's nest was to cook it, pour it into milk, and eat it along with the milk.
Now is not like in the future, when you can just go to the supermarket and buy milk if you want to drink it. Now you still have to order milk from the dairy farm. Although it is inconvenient, the milk nowadays is real pure milk without any other things mixed in.
When Tian Tian just got pregnant, Gu Zhao also ordered milk for her. At that time, Tian Tian couldn't eat anything, and Gu Zhao was anxious. He thought that if she couldn't eat food, she could always drink something, so he ordered a few bottles of milk for Tian Tian.
As a result, Tian Tian couldn't stand the smell of milk and felt like vomiting when she smelled it. The milk bottle wasn't even opened yet, but Tian Tian could still smell it.
Later, there was no other choice. The milk could not be kept at home, so Gu Zhao sent all the bottles of milk back to Ge Huiyun's house.
He had wanted to take the milk back to the laboratory and drink a bottle during his breaks, but now milk has to be boiled and cannot be drunk right away.
Unfortunately, Tian Tian was pregnant and couldn't stand the smell of milk. Gu Zhao had no way of cooking these bottles of milk at home, let alone taking them back to the laboratory, so he finally sent them home.
Unexpectedly, after sending the milk back, Gu Xingshu felt quite good after drinking it, and his body was even stronger than before. From then on, Ge Huiyun's family has been ordering milk.
I don’t know if she can still drink milk now?
Ge Huiyun didn't sit with them for long and left after lunch.
After dinner, Gu Zhao and Tian Zhuo cleared the dishes on the table. Tian Tian squatted on the ground and unpacked the things that Ge Huiyun and the others had brought. She had wanted to unpack them before, but after all, they were things that others had brought, and she felt a little embarrassed to unpack them in front of them.
This bird's nest is not the kind that Tian Tian imagined, which is packaged in small bottles. Instead, it is like in ancient times, in small bird's nest cups, and you need to pick the feathers, soak it in water, and cook the bird's nest yourself.
"Do we have to pick out the hair from this later?" Gu Zhao asked, coming over to take a look at the bird's nest.
When Ge Huiyun was talking to Tian Zhuo about how to make bird's nest, although he was talking to Gu Xingshu, he was also listening. At least he got the general idea and knew how to make bird's nest, right?
Tian Tian held up the bird's nest and looked at it against the light and found that there were actually not many hairs inside. It should be considered a bird's nest of relatively good quality. Tian Tian didn't know much about these things so she could only guess based on the amount of hairs there were.
"It's okay. I have nothing to do at home anyway, so I'll just watch TV and pick bird's nests to kill time!" Tian Tian said indifferently.
At this time, Tian Tian didn't know the power of picking bird's nest, so she said it with confidence.
"What did our mom say before about how to eat this bird's nest? In milk, but you can't drink milk, so why don't we put it in mountain red beer? It just so happens that we have ready-made mountain red beer at home, so let's stew some and try it!" Gu Zhao asked.
He had never eaten bird's nest before and was a little curious about the taste of this bird's nest.
"Since we have nothing to do this afternoon, why don't we pick the feathers from the bird's nests together?" Tian Tian was also a little impatient and immediately agreed with Gu Zhao's idea.
One of them did it right away. He took out a bird's nest bowl, soaked the bird's nest first, then drained the water and poured it into a plate. The three of them squatted there to pick out the feathers.
When it came time to pick out the feathers, Tian Tian finally realized why so many people were picking out the feathers in bird's nests. She was a little overwhelmed.
When Tian Tian looked at the bird's nest before, she felt that there were not many hairs in it. However, after soaking it, she found that it was full of fine hairs mixed in the bird's nest, just like crystal clear glass, with many black spots in the middle, especially those small hairs which were particularly small and it was very tiring to pick them out.
After picking for a while, Tian Tian felt pain in her eyes.
"Don't pick anymore. Go and take a rest aside. The two of us will pick the rest!" Gu Zhao said when he saw Tian Tian rubbing his eyes.
"It's okay, I just need to rest for a while. How long will it take you two to pick so many bird's nests? Will I still be able to eat them in the evening?" Tian Tian said.
The bird's nest looks small on the surface, only the size of the palm, but it is actually a full basin when soaked. Add to that the tiny hairs inside, and it takes a lot of effort for the two of them to pick out.
Moreover, they both knew they were tired, but they were not made of iron. If Tian Tian could help them pick things and reduce their workload, they would help. Besides, she was pregnant, and she was not made of jade that would break if touched. At most, if she was tired, she could just take a break.
Gu Zhao has always respected Tian Tian very much. He just made a suggestion to Tian Tian. If Tian Tian didn't want to do what he suggested, Gu Zhao wouldn't say anything. "If you are tired, you must know to take a break and don't tire yourself out!"
Tian Tian nodded, sat there to relax for a while, and then continued to concentrate on picking bird's nests.
It took them from two o'clock to five o'clock to pick out all the bird's nests thoroughly. It was their first time and they were not very skilled in the job. Their hands were shaking and they often couldn't pick up the hairs with the tweezers. It took a lot of effort to pick up a bird's nest with a tweezers.
After selecting the bird's nests, Tian Zhuo boiled them in a pot as Ge Huiyun said. After they were cooked, he poured them into the mountain red peel water.
She stirred it with a spoon a few times, then poured it into bowls for the three of them, giving each of them a bowl. When she saw the bird's nest being served, Tian Tian couldn't wait to take a sip from the bowl.
Although the bird's nest is hot, the water from the mountain red peel is cool. When the two are combined, the temperature when you drink it is just right, neither hot nor cold.
This bird's nest looks like vermicelli, but it has a very slippery texture and has little presence in the mouth.
It doesn't have any taste by itself, but it takes on the taste of something when it is put into it.
