Chapter 26 Wen Yiyang injured and hospitalized 3
"You are still my sister, and you put yourself in my shoes!" Wen Yiyang said proudly.
"Wen Yiyang, you are so proud. She is my sister, she is my own!" Jiang Jingyi retorted.
"Isn't your sister my sister? I'm also her cousin!" Wen Yiyang retorted unconvinced.
"Well, you can even bicker now, which means you have recovered well, cousin Yi Yang. It looks like I don't need to take care of your body anymore!"
"No, no, no, your cousin is still waiting for you to heal his body and return to the army!" Wen Yiyang said submissively.
"Hmph, since you're so enthusiastic, I'll show it to you again." Jiang Ruoxi said pretending to be helpless. She took Wen Yiyang's pulse again, frowned slightly, and relaxed after a moment. "Cousin, you have a good physical foundation, but you still have some underlying health problems from your previous injuries. Although my medicine is effective, you still have to exercise on a daily basis."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, cousin." Wen Yiyang agreed readily.
At this time, Jiang Jingyi spoke up: "Ruoxi, your ability to make medicine is becoming more and more powerful!"
Hearing the praise from her second brother, Jiang Ruoxi smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Brother, this is also the ancient medical book left by that grandfather. It records some special prescriptions. These things cannot be leaked out for the time being. You must keep it secret, otherwise your sister and I will be arrested. Now Chinese medicine is considered dross in the eyes of some people and must be eliminated!"
Jiang Jingyi nodded heavily, thinking to himself that he must keep it a secret and not let his sister be implicated. Wen Yiyang waved his hands nonchalantly: "I will definitely keep it a secret. No matter what, as long as cousin Ruoxi can cure my illness, that's all."
As they were talking, Aunt Wen came over to take care of the two brothers Jiang Jinghuai and Jiang Jingyi, and told them to go home and rest while she would stay by their beds during the day.
"Aunt, can you do it by yourself? If Yi Yang wants to go to the toilet, you won't be able to help him. Why don't you let Jing Yi go back and rest first, and I'll help here!" Jiang Jinghuai said worriedly.
"No need, Yifei will be here soon. You have taken care of Yi Yang all night. Go home and have a good rest. You will take care of Yi Yang for another night and a day tomorrow. Yifei can only rest for one day. Take some time to come and see Yi Yang today. Thank you for your hard work, brothers!" Aunt Wen said apologetically.
"Aunt, what nonsense are you talking about? We are all brothers. We know that our eldest cousin is so busy with criminal investigation that he can't even see you. It's not easy for him to take a day off to come and see Yi Yang. We are on vacation now. How can we stand idly by when we can help!" Jiang Jinghuai disagreed.
"That's right, aunt, my brother is right, you and your eldest cousin just need to take care of cousin Yi Yang, and Brother Lu and I will come over to bring you lunch at noon!"
"Okay, Auntie won't be polite with you. When Yi Yang is discharged from the hospital, Auntie and Uncle will treat you to a meal, and Auntie will cook for you personally!"
"Aunt, you said you would cook for us yourself! Aunt, cousin Yi Yang, let's go back first!" Jiang Ruoxi said coquettishly to Aunt Wen, which comforted Aunt Wen completely.
After Jiang Ruoxi and Lu Tingxiao walked out of the hospital, the morning sun shone on their bodies, making them feel warm. There weren't many people on the street, and occasionally there were a few breakfast stalls steaming.
"Let's go to the vegetable market first. It's been a while since we picked out fresh ingredients by ourselves." Jiang Ruoxi suggested enthusiastically. Lu Tingxiao nodded with a faint smile on his face.
When we arrived at the vegetable market, it was bustling with people. Jiang Ruoxi walked around the stalls, carefully selecting vegetables and meat. Lu Tingxiao followed behind her, holding a basket in his hand, and reminded her from time to time to be careful of the slippery ground.
"Brother Lu, look how fresh this cabbage is. And this pork, the fat and lean parts are just right for making dumplings." Jiang Ruoxi's eyes sparkled.
After some discussion, the two finally reached a consensus: at noon today, they would make a delicious red date and longan porridge for cousin Yi Yang, which would replenish qi and blood, nourish the heart and calm the nerves; and they would make delicious and juicy cabbage and pork dumplings for their aunt and eldest cousin!
When they returned home, Jiang Ruoxi went to Jiang Jinghuai and Jiang Jingyi's room and saw that they were so tired that they fell asleep without even covering themselves with a quilt. She covered them with a quilt and then came out to prepare dinner.
Lu Tingxiao was in charge of washing and chopping vegetables and mincing the meat, while Jiang Ruoxi was in charge of mixing the dough for the dumplings, washing the rice, and cooking the porridge.
Jiang Ruoxi first kneaded the dough for the dumplings. Since most men in the family could eat a lot, Jiang Ruoxi kneaded more dough. After kneading the dough, she put it aside to wake up, and then started to prepare to cook porridge. First, wash the rice and then soak the rice for 30 minutes; remove the core of the red dates and wash the longan meat. Put rice, red dates and longan meat into the pot, add appropriate amount of water, and of course spiritual spring water. Jiang Ruoxi put the rice into the pot and boil it over high heat, then turn to low heat and cook until the porridge is thick. As time goes by, a faint fragrance gradually emanates from the pot, which is a signal that the rice porridge is about to be cooked. Finally, add rock sugar and stir until it melts.
After Jiang Ruoxi boiled the porridge, she began to prepare the dumpling filling. She chopped the onion, ginger and garlic into small pieces and put them into the meat filling. She also added appropriate amounts of salt, soy sauce and pepper powder, and some sesame oil. She stirred well to allow the meat filling to fully absorb the seasoning. She also put the chopped cabbage that had been squeezed out of water into the prepared meat filling. She heated some oil in a pan, and after the oil has cooled a little, she poured it into the filling and stirred well. She used the temperature of the oil to stimulate the aroma of the filling, and then stirred well.
The last step is to make dumplings! Jiang Ruoxi was planning to roll out the dough and make dumplings herself, but then Lu Tingxiao came over and said, "Let me help you roll out the dumpling wrappers. This way it will be faster. Although I'm not very good at making dumplings, everyone in the army knows how to roll out dumpling wrappers!"
Lu Tingxiao skillfully took the dough, pressed it lightly, and flexibly turned the rolling pin. Sheets of dumpling skins of the right thickness continuously emerged from his hands. Jiang Ruoxi took the dumpling wrapper, scooped in an appropriate amount of filling and placed it in the center, then gently pinched it, and a small and exquisite dumpling was born.
The two of them had perfect tacit understanding and cooperated seamlessly. They wrapped about 400 dumplings in an hour. There were so many soldiers in their family and they were big eaters. After the dumplings were wrapped, Jiang Ruoxi started to cook them, and Lu Tingxiao went to call the two brothers Jiang Jinghuai and Jiang Jingyi to get up and eat. After dinner, the two rushed to the hospital to deliver the meal.
In the ward, Wen Yiyang leaned against the head of the bed with a bowl of steaming red date and wolfberry porridge in front of him. Lu Tingxiao scooped up a spoonful and put it into his mouth. The thick and sweet taste spread among his taste buds, and warmth slowly flowed through Wen Yiyang's heart.
Aunt Wen and Wen Yifei were sitting opposite, eating dumplings. The dumpling skin has a slight sheen, and the rich filling is ready to burst out. Aunt Wen picked up a dumpling, put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly. A satisfied look appeared on her face and her slightly narrowed eyes revealed comfort.
She said softly, "Xixi's dumplings are better than mine. I never get tired of eating them." Wen Yifei ate happily, his cheeks bulging. While eating, he mumbled, "They are so delicious. My little sister's dumplings are the best in the world!"
