Chapter 436 Guyuan Ejiao Cake
Wen Zhenyi looked at Chen Hanxing: "He is also not a good father or a good husband, but I have to say that he is a good king."
“No one is perfect.”
"That's true."
Wen Zhenyi started making Guyuan donkey-hide gelatin cake on the third day.
After two days of careful treatment, Meng Caidie's skin color has improved, which makes Wen Zhenyi more confident.
The donkey-hide gelatin powder has been soaked in rice wine for two days, and now it is perfect for making donkey-hide gelatin cakes.
Cut the dates, walnut kernels and wolfberries into small pieces, and fry the black sesame seeds.
Pour the donkey-hide gelatin that has been soaked for two days into the pot and simmer over low heat until it becomes viscous and can be hung up when lifted. Then add ingredients such as chopped dates and stir quickly.
This process should be done with very low heat to prevent the donkey-hide gelatin from burning and affecting the taste.
Finally, pour in the roasted sesame seeds, stir quickly and evenly, then pour into the mold, flatten the surface with a rolling pin and let cool.
Chef Fan looked at what she had made and asked, "Miss, is this Guyuan Ejiao Cake?"
"Yes. This is for replenishing Qi and blood, suitable for people with weak bodies."
"I've learned a lot from following you these past few days."
"In fact, many things are mutually reinforcing and mutually exclusive, and there are also many taboos."
"Is this still taboo?"
"Well, this donkey-hide gelatin cannot be taken with radish and rhubarb. The radish will greatly reduce the nutritional value of the donkey-hide gelatin, and the rhubarb will offset its nutritional value."
"I have to remember this, otherwise it will be wasted if I'm not careful in the future."
"Learn slowly. You can't learn everything all at once."
Wen Zhenyi waited until the donkey-hide gelatin cake cooled down, then cut it into thin slices and gave some to the women in the family. This would be good for them.
She kept some for herself and gave the rest to Meng Caidie.
Meng Caidie saw the black thing on the plate and asked, "What is this?"
"Donkey hide gelatin cake."
Meng Caidie looked conflicted: "Do I really have to eat it?"
"What else?"
"The taste of donkey-hide gelatin is really unbearable."
“This has no taste.”
"real?"
"If you don't believe me, try some."
Meng Caidie took a small bite with a skeptical look on her face. "It's really tasteless, but it tastes quite fragrant."
"This will be your snack for the next few days. Eat a few pieces a day."
"good."
In the next few days, Wen Zhenyi used different methods to regulate Meng Caidie's body, and she recovered some of her energy and blood. By the tenth day agreed with Song Yuanpan, she was able to walk around the yard.
Song Yuanpan was a little surprised, but still agreed to give it a try: "Let me be clear, I'm not completely sure this time, so accidents are likely to happen."
Madam Meng clutched Meng Yongchun's hand, her lips turning pale. "Song, Judge Song, is there no other way?"
"This is the only way right now. If we take the risk, she still has a chance of survival. If we give up, I can't say how long she can survive."
Mrs. Meng staggered and almost fell.
Fortunately, Meng Yongchun and his wife quickly supported her: "Mom."
Meng Caidie was very calm: "President Song, I want to give it a try. Please wait for me for a moment. I have something to tell my family."
"I'll wait for you in the next room." Song Yuanpan said and went to the next room.
Meng Caidie looked at Madam Meng and her second brother: "Mother, second brother, second sister-in-law, if anything happens to me this time, don't be sad. This is my own choice. Also, I want to entrust Xiaoyi to Yiyi's care, so I won't trouble you anymore."
Meng Yongchun quickly said, "Sister, my brother and I can take care of you."
"Yes, sister, your second brother and I will take care of Xiaoyi as our own son."
Meng Caidie smiled and shook her head: "Brother, Mom, you don't have to be like this. In fact, although you haven't expressed it obviously during this period, I know that you all don't like Xiaoyi and think that it was his father who made me like this. But have you ever thought that he is also a victim?"
Lord Meng stood at the door without knowing when: "Since you have made up your mind, we will respect your wishes. If you can come back alive, I will accept Xiaoyi as my grandson."
Mrs. Meng saw his complicated expression and said nothing.
"father."
Master Meng walked up to Meng Caidie and said, "Caidie, it was Dad who harmed you. Dad is sorry."
"Dad, it's useless to say this now. I just hope you can let Yi Yi raise Xiao Yi. Even if I'm gone, you don't have to face him being heartbroken."
"Dad is just feeling bad."
"Dad, I know, but Xiaoyi has been sensitive since he was young. How could he not know that you don't like it? He tries to please you just to make me feel better."
Lord Meng's eyes were red: "I'm not as good as Xiaoyi." He touched Meng Caidie's head and said: "Caidie, we will wait for you to come out, you must be well."
Meng Caidie smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Wen Zhenyi and Xiaoyi stood at the door. Xiaoyi heard the conversation inside very clearly. He asked in a low voice, "Aunt, will my mother leave?"
"No, she wouldn't be willing to give you to me."
Xiaoyi looked up at her with a complicated expression.
Wen Zhenyi patted his head: "You also have to believe that your mother will live to grow up with you, right?"
Xiaoyi nodded firmly: "Yes, mother will be safe."
Meng Caidie also heard the conversation between the two. A smile appeared on her face, and her courage to live became stronger in her heart.
Lord Meng came out and squatted in front of Xiaoyi: "Xiaoyi, it was grandpa who was wrong before. Are you willing to forgive grandpa?"
Xiaoyi looked at him, then at Wen Zhenyi beside him, not knowing how to answer.
Wen Zhenyi smiled and touched him: "Follow your heart."
Xiaoyi closed his eyes. He liked his grandmother, his second uncle and aunt, and his cousins. His mother liked his grandfather, and he also liked these family members.
Lord Meng was not anxious, but waited for his answer.
Xiaoyi opened his eyes and looked at Lord Meng: "Grandfather, I forgive you. Mother loves you, and I will love you too."
Lord Meng burst into tears and hugged Xiao Yi: "Good boy, good boy."
Wen Zhenyi walked to Meng Caidie's side and said, "You must come out alive. Lord Meng and the others are waiting to reunite with your family. I'm still short of a worker. Come and work for me. Your son will need you to find a wife in the future."
Meng Caidie reached out and hugged Wen Zhenyi: "I will come back alive." After that, she let go of Wen Zhenyi and turned into the room where Song Yuanpan was.
Lei Yingying and her husband were transferred to a county town near the capital. It was snowing and the roads were difficult to walk on. They hurried to the capital and did not even go home. They went straight to the Princess's Mansion.
"Yiyi, where's Caidie?"
Wen Zhenyi saw the disheveled man and asked, "Just came back?"
