It was almost noon.
The small kitchen was filled with steam.
He Limei stood aside holding little Anbao, looking at Jiang Nian sitting in front of the stove. She was nervous and hesitant, wishing she could rush forward and snatch the food from Jiang Nian's hand.
She asked nervously, "Niannian, can you really cook?"
When they talked last night, Jiang Nian promised to cook for Jiang Zhenshan and He Limei himself.
When He Limei heard this, she felt happy and relieved.
If He Limei had really seen Jiang Nian enter the kitchen, light a fire to cook, and get vegetables, she would have been terrified.
Jiang Nian had never been to the kitchen before and didn't even know how to wash dishes.
He Limei was not afraid that Jiang Nian would not eat the food she cooked, but she was afraid that Jiang Nian would accidentally cut her fingers, which would be a loss.
"Niannian, forget it, let me do it. I'll just let you know your feelings, but don't hurt yourself."
Jiang Nian was standing there, just picking up the dishes, and hadn't done anything yet, but he heard these few words first. He really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Mom, you have to have faith in your daughter."
"Yes, I definitely have confidence in you." It's because I have confidence that I won't let you do it.
He Limei was feeling very nervous.
Jiang Nian knew that she couldn't use words to change the image of He Limei that had been in her father's mind for more than ten years, she could only use actions!
This time, she not only brought a variety of chicken, duck, fish and meat, but also brought fresh Gastrodia elata dug from the mountains.
Originally, he only brought a little bit, but after diagnosing Jiang Zhenshan's migraine and stroke risk yesterday, Jiang Nian secretly took out a bunch of fresh Gastrodia elata from his personal space and mixed it with the ones he brought with him.
A lot of things suddenly appeared. It looked strange, but most people wouldn't think of that many things.
Fresh Gastrodia elata with soil on them, round and plump like potatoes, were piled in a ventilated corner of the small kitchen.
Jiang Nian first washed the fresh Gastrodia elata, then lit a fire and steamed it in a pot.
This process is the same as steaming potatoes. Steam them over high heat for about ten minutes, and then insert chopsticks to test the softness and hardness.
If the chopsticks can penetrate the whole thing, the Gastrodia elata is cooked.
Remove the cooked Gastrodia elata from the steamer and let it cool.
Jiang Nian held the Chinese cabbage in one hand and the Gastrodia elata in the other, and cut it into slices one by one. Her quick movements were no less than when she held the needles for acupuncture.
He Limei had been watching from the side, and was a little surprised and confused when she saw Jiang Nian's smooth movements.
She walked over carefully, took a look at the Gastrodia elata slices that Jiang Nian had cut, and her eyes widened unconsciously.
Not only were the slices very even, the inside of the Gastrodia elata was white, and the thin slices that Jiang Nian cut were actually light-transmitting.
This kind of work is no better than that of a veteran with more than ten years of experience.
He Limei has cooked so many meals, but she can never cut them like this.
She was afraid that speaking out would disturb Jiang Nian, so she suppressed her surprise deep in her heart and sighed repeatedly.
Jiang Nian cut three pieces of Gastrodia elata in one breath and sliced them all thinly. He looked up and saw He Limei's shocked eyes and Xiao Anbao who was drooling and biting his fingers.
She picked up a piece of Gastrodia elata and put it into Xiao Anbao's hand.
"Baby, stop sucking your fingers, eat this."
Little Anbao grabbed it immediately and started chewing it with his little baby teeth.
Jiang Nian said to He Limei again, "Mom, do you believe I can cook now?"
"I believe it! I believe it!"
He Limei nodded repeatedly.
Jiang Nian took out a plate and placed the cut Gastrodia elata slices in circles, like beautiful blooming flowers.
Then use onion, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, chili and other seasonings to make a soul-enhancing sauce and pour it on the Gastrodia elata slices.
A dish of cold-mixed Gastrodia elata is made in this way.
