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: "Go, go, I'm fine, don't worry about me!"
After the two people leave, Yu Shu will take out a set of ceramic covered cups.
He brewed some tea and poured a cup for her and Song Shiwei respectively.
She held such a teacup in her hand and sat on the sofa, her every move revealing tenderness and elegance.
Especially when she smiled gently at Song Shiwei and the others.
Song Shiwei wondered what kind of family she must have been 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, laughed 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 unconsciously!"
Yu Shu was so amused by her that she covered her mouth and laughed.
He raised his eyes, looked around the house, and was quite moved.
"This small building in the compound has quite a bit of history. It is the product of the collision between Western civilization and Chinese civilization. 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 behind. When the real estate industry boomed in the 1980s, many high-end villas were improved in this style.
At this moment, the sound of a clock suddenly came: "Ding! 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 as you enter the door.
The room was very big and had a coal-fired stove, not the kind of firewood-burning earthen pot she used in the military family 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 earthen 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 bit dusty, which seemed to indicate that 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 planned to make some fresh lotus root and pear porridge to strengthen the spleen, stimulate appetite and promote diuresis.
Moreover, snow pear can moisten the lungs and relieve cough, and also help the kidneys excrete uric acid and prevent 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, bringing it to a boil over high heat and then turning to low heat.
Simmer for about ten minutes.
During this process, she began to process lotus roots and snow 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 snow pears. After washing them, cut them into small pieces without peeling them. ,
Remove the pits from the red dates and cut into shreds.
Red dates have high medicinal value and are a commonly used tonic in traditional Chinese medicine hospitals. "Compendium of Materia Medica" believes that dates have the effects of strengthening the spleen and stomach, nourishing blood and strengthening the spirit.
Because the core contains more calories, it is less likely to cause internal heat if the core is removed.
After ten minutes, Song Shiwei put all the chopped lotus root, snow pear, and shredded red dates into the pot.
I also grabbed a handful of rock sugar and put it in.
The reason for adding rock sugar is that it can increase the sweetness of the porridge, making it taste sweeter. Another reason is that rock sugar can replenish the middle and 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, she 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.
There was not only 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 planned 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 do an episode on foods that children with anorexia can eat.
This yam appetizer cake has received a lot of praise.
First, peel the washed yam, then cut it into slices. Put the sliced yam and the seeded hawthorn into a pot and steam them for about half an hour.
At this time, she first served a bowl of fresh lotus root and pear porridge to Yu Shu.
"You can drink it first. This little cake will have to wait for 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 also breathed a sigh of relief.
Take your time drinking it. I made a lot and there’s still some left 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 gone without her noticing.
While the hawthorns and yam 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 garlics placed against the wall.
She cut off one end with scissors, peeled it, and chopped it into minced garlic.
At this time, the yam and hawthorn are almost steamed.
She put the hawthorn into the cleaned garlic mortar beside her.
Mash it into a paste, pour it into a wok, fry until dry, and add honey to increase the sweetness.
And the nutritional value of honey is very high.
Yu Shu also knew why she bought the milk powder.
Song Shiwei was seen using scissors to cut a small hole in the milk powder bag.
Pour some into the fried hawthorn cake and stir evenly.
Serve in a small bowl.
