Chapter 63: Making a Tonic Soup for Lu Siting



And if you smell the air, it smells like meat, like chicken but not quite.

Lu Siting remembered that there was not much meat or vegetables at home these two days. Bai Wei cooked, so she must have gone to the market to buy vegetables before coming back.

Is it because you want to eat meat?

Lu Siting was a little confused.

Bai Wei was flustered for a moment, her cheeks slightly red, and she didn't dare to look at Lu Siting. She whispered, "I just want to drink soup. I'll come back early to make soup, so we can eat earlier and rest earlier."

Lu Siting was skeptical, but he still brought in the vegetables from outside, including the big pumpkin.

You can make soup by stewing it. You don’t need any cooking skills or too many seasonings. Just watch the fire and make sure the water doesn’t boil away.

As for dinner, he still has to do it himself.

Lu Siting took out the dishes he wanted and started cooking.

Rolling up his sleeves to his elbows, Lu Shiting moved quickly and neatly. He was clearly washing and cutting vegetables, but he looked elegant, as if he was not cooking but preparing to do something artistic.

Bai Wei was a little stunned, and in a trance, she felt a little guilty.

After being married for so long, Lu Siting has always been the one doing the cooking, and he even takes care of all the big and small things at home.

Of the three meals a day, at least two were prepared by Lu Siting himself. In order to make breakfast, Lu Siting had to get up half an hour earlier every day.

Bai Wei thought about it and realized that if she was asked to get up half an hour earlier just to have breakfast, she probably wouldn't be able to do it, not to mention that he had to persist for several months.

Her appearance is impeccable, she is also a homely and family-oriented person, and she can also make money. Her husband is truly an all-round good husband at home.

Lu Siting is already very busy in the army during the day, and she should help share the burden.

Bai Wei convinced herself and went to help.

Although she doesn't know how to cook and is very slow at cutting vegetables, washing them is not difficult at all and it's not easy.

Bai Wei looked at the cabbage in the basin that she had spent three or four minutes washing, and she was quite satisfied.

Lu Siting moved very quickly. While cooking, he also quickly cut and fried vegetables. His rhythm was not disrupted at all by Bai Wei's slowness.

Bai Wei was stunned. This was the first time she saw Lu Siting preparing dinner for two.

Every time he came back, Lu Siting would prepare a meal, or the two of them would go out to eat every once in a while.

It was indeed the first time that Bai Wei saw Lu Siting cook like this.

Suddenly, her eyes turned into stars, and Bai Wei looked at Lu Siting with admiration.

On one side was the soup she was stewing, and on the other side was Lu Siting cooking. Bai Wei turned down the heat and looked at Lu Siting intently.

He cooked quickly and in less than an hour he turned off the fire and started serving the rice.

Bai Wei looked at her soup again, made sure there was nothing wrong with it, and then went to eat with Lu Siting.

"Are you tired today? How is business in the store?"

"Generally, business isn't very good these days."

"You've been doing this every day for so long. If you're tired, just take a few days off."

"It's not that bad. My mom goes over to help me every day, and sometimes you go too, so it's not that tiring."

The two chatted while eating, and time passed quickly.

After dinner, the two of them cleaned up the table and dishes together, and Lu Siting took his clothes and went to take a shower.

Before taking a shower, Lu Siting reminded him a little worriedly: "Keep an eye on this fire. I estimate that it will be ready in about an hour at most."

"When you drink it, put it aside for a while until it cools down before drinking it, or taste it first. If it doesn't taste good, don't drink it yet. I'll make you something delicious tomorrow."

Lu Siting finally asked uncertainly: "Besides the aniseed and salt, you really didn't put anything else in it, right?"

Ever since he came back, Bai Wei wouldn't let him get close to the pot of soup, saying that he could only see it after it was cooked. So Lu Siting didn't even go to see the pot of soup.

Now I'm going to take a shower. I feel a little uneasy and want to see it with my own eyes.

Bai Wei quickly blocked him and pushed him away: "Really? Don't worry. Okay, go take a shower. I need to take another one later."

Lu Siting had no choice but to go upstairs and into the bathroom.

Seeing Lu Shiting finally leave, Bai Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

It was a close call, I almost got exposed.

Bai Wei patted her chest and went to the kitchen to look at her fire.

How long did it take to simmer this soup, two hours or three hours?

Bai Wei calculated the time and opened the lid to check the soup.

Suddenly, a somewhat strange fragrance wafted out.

It doesn't smell like rice, but rather has the smell of chicken mixed in, which is really strange.

Bai Wei took a look at the soup and estimated that Lu Siting had been bathing for more than ten minutes, so she turned off the fire and brought out a large bowl of soup.

This is the soup that Bai Wei specially asked the big sister from the shop next door this morning, and then left work early to buy the ingredients. It took her more than three hours to cook it.

It was the first time that Bai Wei had made food with a complicated process and succeeded. She suddenly felt a little proud.

The sound of water upstairs stopped. Bai Wei guessed that Lu Siting should have finished his bath, so she carried the bowl of soup upstairs.

I made a lot of soup today. If you can’t finish it in one day, you can continue drinking it tomorrow. If there is no effect after two days, try the other soup that Sister Lan mentioned.

That deer tail soup sounds very nutritious.

Bai Wei carefully carried the bowl of soup upstairs and put it down under Lu Siting's puzzled gaze.

He asked in surprise, "Do you want to drink while sitting on the bed?"

"No, this soup is for you." Bai Wei smiled.

Lu Siting shook his head and said, "No, just drink it. I don't like to eat before going to bed."

After saying that, Lu Siting went to look for clothes for tomorrow.

Bai Wei certainly knew his habits, but the soup tonight was different.

Bai Wei quickly walked forward to grab Lu Siting, and dragged him back: "No, this is the soup I worked so hard to make after several hours of simmering. You must drink it."

Lu Shiting stood beside the table, looking at the bowl of black soup, which seemed to emit a strange smell.

He wondered in his heart, he didn't seem to have made Bai Wei angry recently, so why did she insist on making him drink this bowl of soup?

"Why don't you drink first..."

"Hey, Lu Siting, just drink it. There's still a lot of soup in the pot. If you can't finish it today, you can continue drinking tomorrow. Just drink it without worry."

Bai Wei raised her head and stared at him with her big, sparkling eyes, full of expectation. She said coquettishly, "I made this especially for you. If you don't drink it, you'll be so sorry to me."

Specially made for him?

When he came back, didn’t Bai Wei say that this was what she wanted to drink? Why did it become something she made specially for him?
