Yuwen Ran took all the things he had packed back to the kitchen, and Gu Yanyue also lay back down on the bed. She thought she had slept for so many days and that she would not be able to fall asleep at this moment. Unexpectedly, she fell asleep again as soon as she lay down and before Yuwen Ran came back from the kitchen.
When Gu Yanyue woke up, the lean meat porridge that she had told Yu Wenran to drink at noon had already been prepared and brought into the room.
Gu Yanyue peered out the window. It had been bright and clear before she went to sleep, but when she woke up it was already dark. Winter is a time of short days and long nights. The sky had completely darkened, and heavy snow, accompanied by a howling north wind, drifted down, coating the outside in a world of silver.
"Ayue, try it. If it's cold, I'll ask them to bring it down and heat it up." Yuwen Ran helped Gu Yanyue up from the bed. This made Gu Yanyue feel for the first time in her life that she might be a delicate woman.
Gu Yanyue took the lean meat porridge from Yuwen Ran's hand and took a mouthful. It was a feast for her stomach. For the first time, Gu Yanyue felt that this porridge was actually a good thing in the world. Afterwards, Gu Yanyue didn't bother to chew it slowly. She drank the whole bowl of porridge in no time. Then she looked at Yuwen Ran eagerly, "Ah Ran, can I have another bowl?"
Yu Wenran took Gu Yanyue's bowl and rejected her offer to have another. "No, I asked Miss Qin while you were sleeping, and she said you can only eat liquid food these days. You absolutely cannot eat the dishes I made for you at noon today, and you can't eat too much either. Only 70% full is enough."
Gu Yanyue didn't expect that the meal Yu Wenran prepared for her at noon today would become the most filling and the best meal she had eaten recently.
Gu Yanyue didn't react at first, until Yuwen Ran walked out with the bowl, Gu Yanyue realized what Yuwen Ran had just said.
Help!
Why treat her like this!
She just came back from the gates of hell, shouldn't she have a good meal first?
In order to recover properly, she didn't dare to dream of eating any oily food, but at least let her eat enough! During the days she was in a coma, Yuwen Ran didn't feed her anything except water. She had been hungry for so many days, and he didn't let her eat more. Is this fair?
Because of this incident, Gu Yanyue didn't pay much attention to Yuwen Ran until he came back from the kitchen. Even when Yuwen Ran took the initiative to talk to her, she responded indifferently.
Yu Wenran knew that Gu Yanyue was just throwing a tantrum, so he didn't take it to heart. After all, at the latest, Gu Yanyue would definitely pay attention to him when he woke up tomorrow.
It wasn't until she woke up the next day that Gu Yanyue started to take care of Yuwen Ran again. "Ah Ran, didn't I say yesterday that I would teach you how to make porridge today?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Wenran paused what he was doing, then placed the food box he had just brought back from the kitchen on the table and nodded heavily towards Gu Yanyue, "Yes! So, Ah Yue, are you going to start teaching me now?"
Gu Yanyue opened the food box that Yuwen Ran brought back and found that there was still a bowl of porridge inside, just as Yuwen Ran said yesterday.
The only difference is that yesterday she could drink a bowl of lean meat porridge with meat, but this morning she could only drink a bowl of plain porridge with nothing in it.
"Aran, this porridge has no taste!"
The moment Gu Yanyue saw the porridge, her mood instantly sank. She leaned over the table to stir the porridge, but was reluctant to eat it. "Even if you can put some green leaves in it, that would be fine."
"This is my fault. When I was cooking yesterday, I made all the ingredients for breakfast this morning for you. That's why I didn't have any ingredients for breakfast this morning."
Yuwen Ran took out another bowl of white porridge from the food box and placed it in front of him, letting Gu Yanyue see clearly what he had eaten this morning. He then continued, "We all drank porridge with you this morning, and the palace maid told me that she added some salt to it, so it has flavor, not salt."
"Then why did you only bring four dishes yesterday?" Gu Yanyue quickly grasped the key point. Yu Wenran's dishes yesterday were all related to pig's blood. It was impossible for this morning's breakfast to be a pig's blood feast, right? Hearing Yu Wenran say that everyone had shared porridge with her this morning, Gu Yanyue's heart instantly became balanced. After all, there was a certain difference between drinking porridge alone and sharing it with others.
Yu Wenran scratched the back of his head and said to Gu Yanyue a little embarrassedly: "Because the rest was burned into charcoal by me, I threw it all into the trash can after it was taken out of the pot."
Gu Yanyue was stunned. She hadn't thought that Yuwen Ran had such a thing when cooking yesterday. It seemed that the dishes Yuwen Ran served to her later were indeed carefully prepared and selected.
After all, apart from the fact that there were too many chili peppers, the bean sprouts were a little raw, the pig blood was a little old, and the salt in the soup was replaced by sugar, there were no major problems.
After finishing the small bowl of white porridge, Gu Yanyue asked Yuwen Ran to take her to the kitchen, intending to teach Yuwen Ran how to make red date porridge herself so that she could try a different taste.
As soon as she entered the kitchen, Gu Yanyue asked Yu Wenran to find out the red dates, longans and wolfberries first.
In fact, this red date porridge does not require any technical skills. Just wash the rice, red dates, longans and wolfberries and put them in the pot to cook.
When Gu Yanyue was teaching Yuwen Ran how to make this, she suddenly wanted to go back and kill herself who had tried to teach Yuwen Ran how to cook by making tomato and eggs for the first time.
If I had taught Yuwen Ran how to cook porridge earlier, and then told him the recipes of how to cook the porridge and what to add to make the porridge, then I wouldn't have to be Yuwen Ran's guinea pig for that pig blood feast this time.
After Gu Yanyue asked Yu Wenran to put everything into the pot, she told him to watch the heat carefully, and after it boiled over high heat, turn to low heat and simmer. When the rice became soft, glutinous and sticky, the red date porridge was ready.
Red date porridge prepared in this way can nourish the liver and blood, and replenish blood and produce blood. Gu Yanyue even asked Yu Wenran to make more and asked the palace maids to deliver it to the servants who were injured like herself.
This time, after the red date porridge came out of the pot, Gu Yanyue tasted it herself before asking the palace maid to send it to the servants.
After all, Yu Wenran's cooking skills still involve certain risks.
But when Gu Yanyue took the first bite, she felt that the porridge was as delicious as the one she made herself. It was worthy of being the red date porridge that she watched Yu Wenran make step by step. The taste was completely different from the one made by Yu Wenran himself.
