"Yes, I need to nourish myself properly. Buy me a plump black-boned chicken and stew it."
"I can drink it when I get back." Qiao Xiaoni felt a bit craving after her period started, and she wanted to eat meat whenever she heard there was chicken to eat.
Su Chenhao thought that the chickens sold at the market in the morning were quite plump, so he took off his apron and said, "Then I'll go to the market now and buy a chicken to kill."
"Drink your millet porridge. I'll be back around the time you finish."
"Okay!" Qiao Xiaoni replied, then took a spoon and scooped the millet porridge from the pot.
It contains brown sugar, and its reddish color makes it look delicious.
Su Chenhao went back to his room to change his clothes and then headed to the market.
It was a bit cold when I went out, so I thought I'd remind Qiao Xiaoni to wear more clothes when I got back. I hurried to the market, and sure enough, the chickens sold in the morning were quite plump. I picked out the two fattest ones. I was willing to pay extra for the vendor to kill the chickens, so I paid more and collected the blood in a plastic bag.
After finishing his work, the stall owner smiled and said, "In all my years of running this business, this is the first time I've encountered someone as attentive as you."
"Did your wife just give birth? You look so nervous, did it be a big, healthy boy?"
"No, she wasn't feeling well, so I thought I'd buy her two chickens to help her recover," Su Chenhao replied with a smile, clearly pleased with his successful purchase.
Stall owner: "Men like you are even rarer. Every family is frugal, unless their wife has given birth, they absolutely won't buy chickens."
These two chickens are worth half a month's salary!
"No, it's not that bad. I just want her to eat better. By the way, do you know how to make soup?" Su Chenhao decided to ask the shop owner for advice.
The stall owner sat back down on his small stool: "Go buy a large earthenware pot, put it on the stove, boil the chicken in cold water first, then change the water and stew it. Add jujubes and goji berries. This soup is very nourishing for women, especially those who haven't given birth. You can add more salt to it."
If you've just given birth, you shouldn't add salt to the broth; simmering it for about two hours is enough.
Su Chenhao picked up the bag with his left hand and waved with his right: "Okay, I'll try it when I get home. I'm in a hurry to get home, so I won't chat with you any longer. I'll buy chicken from you again next time."
The stall owner waved to him, saying that such a good man was rare and that his wife was lucky.
Su Chenhao went to buy red dates, goji berries, and a clay pot before carrying the things home. It was just getting light, and the temperature was still so low.
Qiao Xiaoni is currently lying in bed listening to the radio, which is playing music to help relieve her stomach pain.
Su Chenhao returned home, took the chicken to the kitchen, and then went back to his bedroom.
Qiao Xiaoni noticed his face was a little red: "Is it cold outside?"
"The temperature is lowest in the morning, so wear a cotton coat to school today. It's better to wear more than less." Su Chenhao sat on the edge of the bed.
"Okay, I'll listen to you and wear my cotton coat to school today." Qiao Xiaoni sat up: "Luckily, the exam is over today and we'll have a holiday tomorrow, so I can rest at home for a few days."
You just need to focus on the shop; I can take care of myself.
"We'll talk about it later. I've already bought the black-boned chicken. The vendor killed it and cleaned it all. When would you like to have the soup?"
Qiao Xiaoni calculated the time: "I'll start stewing it in a bit. After I finish my first exam, I'll go home and have some soup. Then I'll go take the exam."
"Okay, I'll go wash the chicken now. You can lie down for a while longer before getting up." Su Chenhao got up, took off his coat, and hung it on the wall.
