Shu Ying treated the vegetables beside her as if they were Duan Huaichuan, and chopped and cut them with resentment, each swing of the knife much stronger than before.
She has always been her parents' most beloved daughter, and has never lifted a finger to cook since she was a child.
But people have been forced into this situation; they have no other choice.
Based on her memory, Shu Ying found some dishes that were suitable for pregnant women.
However, his cooking skills seemed rather clumsy.
Especially when handling ingredients and chopping vegetables, she clearly remembered her family's chef telling her that she should bend her fingers to hold the knife in place so as not to hurt herself.
But such a simple thing is surprisingly difficult to do.
Shu Ying was flustered and overwhelmed the whole time, wishing she could fight herself.
After finishing each item, I had to run to the tap and rinse it with water for a long time.
This whole process left her sweating profusely.
Cooking is still a physically demanding job.
Shu Ying thought to herself with a bittersweet smile, and couldn't help but recall when her parents were still alive, they would always cook for the family gatherings.
Every time I offered to help, I was firmly refused.
Her parents didn't want her to go into the kitchen, and they didn't even want her to smell the smoke.
But now, Shu Ying has to rely on her own abilities to prepare a nutritious meal all by herself.
"If my parents could see this, I don't know if they would be proud of me or feel sorry for me."
Shu Ying couldn't help but feel a stinging sensation in her nose.
After her parents suddenly passed away, she couldn't bear the blow and was devastated for a long time.
If it weren't for her two children, she might have really gone with them.
Shu Ying would rather her parents see her on their way to the afterlife and blame her with a mix of heartache and helplessness.
They didn't want their family to be separated by death, never to have the chance to meet again.
Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned.
At this point in time when Shu Ying was reborn, she was unable to save her parents' lives.
After a brief moment of emotional outburst, she resumed chopping the vegetables, one bite at a time. Fortunately, she was quite skilled with her hands.
Having watched Zhang Ma cook before, I basically had a general idea of what to do.
Especially soups, which are simple and convenient to make, and are perfect for pregnant women to drink, helping Li Qingqing to further supplement her nutrition.
After cutting all the prepared ingredients into strange shapes, Shuying prepared to begin the next step.
To prepare delicious and nutritious meals, you have to put in a lot of effort.
Since Shu Ying had bought a lot of pig's trotters this time, she simply made a lotus root and goji berry pig's trotter soup.
It is not only nourishing, but it can also help postpartum women produce milk.
This will save Li Qingqing from constantly worrying that she doesn't have enough breast milk and won't be able to breastfeed her baby herself.
Nine-hole lotus roots are suitable for stir-frying, but since she was making soup this time, she chose seven-hole lotus roots.
This type of lotus root with seven holes becomes softer, sweeter, and more glutinous after stewing.
Shu Ying simmered the soup over a low flame while using the time to prepare other dishes.
She remembered Li Qingqing's taste and knew she loved meat, so she specially made a non-spicy braised pork ribs dish with a savory sauce flavor.
Shu Ying had a very clear understanding of her own cooking skills, so she simply skipped the step of caramelizing sugar, which was prone to going wrong.
Heat oil in a wok, add the ribs, then stir-fry with scallions, ginger, star anise, hawthorn slices, a little dried chili peppers, and other spices. Add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and a little Shaoxing wine, stir-fry until well combined and flavorful.
Finally, add enough boiling water to cover the ribs, then simmer over low heat for one hour.
Add a little salt to taste, turn up the heat, and stir with a spoon while reducing the sauce until it becomes thick.
