Chapter 115 Fresh Lotus Root and Snow Pear Porridge

The two people in front of him, one is the secretary's wife, and the other is their leader's wife. He dare not let them cook for him.

Song Shiwei had already noticed his discomfort, and waved his hand with a smile at him: "Go, go, I'm fine, don't worry about me!"

After the two of them left, Yu Shu took out a set of ceramic covered bowls and cups.

He brewed some tea and poured a cup for her and Song Shiwei.

She held a teacup like this in her hand, sitting on the sofa, and every move she made revealed tenderness and elegance.

Especially when she smiled tenderly at Song Shiwei.

Song Shiwei wondered what kind of family she was born into to develop such a temperament.

She is just like the eldest daughter of a scholarly family, very cultured and well-mannered.

Seeing her staring at her in a daze, Yu Shu couldn't help but smile.

"What are you looking at, Sister Weiwei?"

Song Shiwei, who had reacted, smiled embarrassedly: "I think my sister-in-law is really beautiful, and this house is beautiful too. Anyway, they are all beautiful, and I was intoxicated by them without realizing it!"

Yu Shu was so amused by her that she covered her mouth and laughed.

I raised my eyes and looked around the house, feeling quite emotional.

"This small building in the compound has quite a bit of history. It is the product of the collision between Western and Chinese civilizations. The owners of the house have changed one after another. In the blink of an eye, we have lived here for more than ten years."

Song Shiwei nodded. At that time, there were indeed many such products left. After the rise of real estate in the 1980s, many high-end villas were improved in this style.

At this moment, the sound of a clock suddenly came: "Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong..."

Song Shiwei listened and heard eleven.

"It's already eleven o'clock, I have to go cook!"

As she said this, she stood up.

"Sister-in-law, where is our kitchen?"

Yu Shu also put down the cup in her hand and stood up to lead the way for her.

"Here, I'll take you there!"

The kitchen is the room on the left when you enter the door.

It was quite large and had a coal stove instead of the wood-burning pot she had used in the military compound.

As if she was dumbfounded by her own thoughts, she shook her head and smiled.

What are you thinking? How could there be a hot pot in a small western-style building like this?

The kitchen was quite well equipped with pots, pans, and various seasonings, but it was a little dusty, which seemed like Yu Shu didn't cook much at home.

Yu Shu felt a little embarrassed when she saw it.

"The kitchen is a little dirty, let me clean it up!"

Song Shiwei had already taken an apron from the wall and said with a smile, "Just take a rest, I'll do it!"

After saying that, he took the rag and started wiping it quickly.

Yu Shu must have felt embarrassed to let her do it alone, so she simply tied up her hair, rolled up her sleeves, and took a rag to help wipe it.

Two people working together is definitely better than one person working alone.

The kitchen was cleaned up quickly.

Song Shiwei took out all the ingredients they bought from the supply and marketing cooperative.

On the way here, she had basically figured out what to do.

She prepared a fresh lotus root and pear porridge, which is good for the spleen and appetite and can promote urination.

Moreover, snow pear moistens the lungs and relieves coughs, helps the kidneys excrete uric acid and prevents gout and rheumatoid arthritis.

This is a great ingredient for people with anorexia.

She first scooped a bowl of rice, washed it clean and poured it into the pot, cooking it over high heat and then turning to low heat.

Simmer for about ten minutes.

During this process, she began to process lotus roots and pears.

Wash all the mud on the lotus root nodes, peel them, and cut them into small pieces for later use.

The same goes for Sydney pears. Wash them, do not peel them, and cut them into small pieces.

Remove the core of red dates and cut into strips.

Red dates have high medicinal value and are commonly used as a tonic in traditional Chinese medicine hospitals. The Compendium of Materia Medica states that dates have the effects of strengthening the spleen and stomach, nourishing the blood and strengthening the spirit.

Because the core contains more calories, it is less likely to cause a sore throat if the core is removed.

Ten minutes later, Song Shiwei put all the chopped lotus root, snow pear, and shredded red dates into the pot.

I grabbed a handful of rock sugar and put it in.

Adding rock sugar can add sweetness to the porridge, making it taste sweeter. Another reason is that rock sugar can replenish qi, harmonize the stomach and moisten the lungs, nourish yin and produce body fluid, and relieve cough and reduce phlegm.

For Yu Shu now, this fresh lotus root and pear porridge is very suitable for her.

When Song Shiwei was cleaning the kitchen, he also found a bag of black sesame seeds.

After boiling it for another ten minutes, she grabbed a handful, sprinkled black sesame seeds on it, and stirred it evenly.

The fresh lotus root and pear porridge is ready.

Yu Shu had actually been watching from the side, and she had smelled the fragrance of the porridge just now.

Not only was there the aroma of rice, but also the fragrance of pears. For some reason, she felt a little hungry.

Song Shiwei took the pot down and prepared to make the next one.

Knowing that she had a poor appetite, she brought some hawthorns when she came this time.

The first meal she cooked for her, she wanted it to be light.

So, in addition to this porridge, she prepared to make her some yam cakes that would be both nourishing and appetizing.

When she was a host, many children suffered from anorexia, and those mothers left messages below, asking her to make an episode about foods that children with anorexia can eat.

This yam appetizer has received rave reviews.

First, peel the washed yam and cut it into slices. Steam the sliced ​​yam and seeded hawthorn together for about half an hour.

During this time, she served a bowl of fresh lotus root and pear porridge to Yu Shu.

"You can drink it first. This cookie will take a while!"

Yu Shu had been wanting to try it for a long time, so she took the bowl, picked up the spoon, and couldn't wait to scoop a spoonful into her mouth.

Sure enough, it was just as I imagined, sweet in the mouth, with the aroma of rice, pear, lotus root, and even the mellow fragrance of red dates, all blended together.

“It’s delicious!”

She also tasted the sweetness of rock sugar.

Seeing that she liked it, Song Shiwei breathed a sigh of relief.

Take your time drinking it. I made a lot and there’s more in the pot.

Yu Shu held the bowl, smiled and nodded: "Okay!"

She went outside and brought a small stool, then sat in the kitchen, watching Song Shiwei cook while eating the porridge in the bowl. Soon, it was all gone without her noticing.

While the hawthorns and yams were steaming in the pot, Song Shiwei took a cucumber and a carrot, washed them, cut them into thin strips, and set them aside.

Beat two more eggs, mix well, and set aside.

There was a row of braided garlic on the wall.

She cut off one end with a pair of scissors, peeled it, and minced it.

At this time, the yam and hawthorn are almost steamed.

She placed the hawthorns in a clean garlic mortar beside her.

Mash it into a paste, pour it into a wok, fry until the water is dry, and add honey to increase the sweetness.

And the nutritional value of honey is also very high.

Yu Shu also knew why she bought the milk powder.

I saw Song Shiwei using scissors to cut a small hole in the milk powder bag.

Pour some into the fried hawthorn cake and stir evenly.

Pour into a small bowl.
