Chapter 251 Milky White and Clear, Mom’s Hoof Flower Soup
Compared to Jiang Ning's worry, Lin Shijiao appeared very calm.
"It's okay, it's just a few diapers. I've washed clothes by the river before...in even colder weather."
The little Lin Shijiao, even with frostbite all over her little hands, still had to do these things by the icy river.
Compared with those experiences, what is happening now is nothing.
Finally, I scrubbed the diaper vigorously several times, then picked it up and wrung it dry vigorously.
Lin Shijiao poured out the water, stood up with the washed diapers and basin, and tilted her head back with a smile on her face.
She explained.
"I looked at the briquettes and firewood, but there weren't many left. It's more important to keep warm."
What she meant was that she just couldn't bear to use firewood to boil water for washing clothes.
I want to keep the supplies for Jiangning to keep warm.
Jiang Ning felt distressed after hearing these words.
Jiang Ning now completely believed what Grandma Qin once said.
Lin Shijiao is a good girl.
It depends on who can see the softness behind her pride.
Jiang Ning took a deep breath and immediately pulled Lin Shijiao back to the house.
After they entered the house, they hung the diapers out to dry in a location close to the heater.
During this period.
Lin Shijiao's eyes would occasionally look at Jiang Ning's chest.
Her eyes were hesitant and her expression was conflicted, as if she had been holding back for a long time, but finally couldn't help it and asked worriedly.
"Do you have enough milk? I fed Tongtong milk powder this morning, but he didn't seem to be very willing to drink it..."
Lin Shijiao felt embarrassed and spoke hesitantly.
After all, Jiang Ning has given birth to a child, so she is very calm about these physiological phenomena.
Besides, both parties are girls, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about.
not to mention……
It's not just Tongtong who doesn't want to drink milk powder.
Yaya and Suisui would spit it out as soon as they took a sip, and they insisted that only hers could have it.
Jiang Ning touched his chest.
She had just woken up from a nap, and her chest felt heavy.
"It's enough food now. But these three little guys have such a voracious appetite that I can't keep feeding them for a whole day. But..."
Jiang Ning said this and looked at Lin Shijiao with shining eyes.
She continued.
"You brought some good stuff yesterday, so a little replenishment should be enough."
What Jiang Ning was talking about was the pig's trotter that Lin Shijiao had spent a lot of effort to carry up the mountain.
…
What Jiang Ning wants to make is the most nourishing Lao Ma’s Pig Trotter Soup.
In addition to pig's trotters, another ingredient needed is kidney beans.
The dried white kidney beans were soaked in water last night.
After soaking overnight, it absorbed moisture and became much larger than before.
Next is to process the pig's trotters.
The pig's trotter was very big and had been frozen into ice.
Even Jiang Ning had to spend a lot of effort to barely cut it into pieces.
Lin Shijiao was watching from the side, and saw Jiang Ning holding a kitchen knife with an imposing manner that could pull mountains and rivers apart.
I was also shocked.
The chopping board was vibrating with the sound of "dong dong dong".
Jiang Ning cut with a knife and instantly shouted, "Oh my god!"
Lin Shijiao also started to jump as she did and said nervously.
"What's wrong? Did you cut your hand?"
"Child! Didn't you wake the child?!"
Jiang Ning hurriedly glanced into the room, and seeing that the three little ones were sleeping soundly, he let out a long sigh of relief.
If we wake them up, it will not be easy to have lunch.
Next.
The two tried to make their movements as gentle as possible.
Even though he was in his own home, he still walked around cautiously.
Put the cut pig's trotters into a pot with cold water.
Add ginger, garlic, scallion, peppercorns, and a little cooking wine and blanch them together.
Lin Shijiao sat on the other side of the stove and helped Jiang Ning light the fire.
Bring to a boil over high heat and cook for five or six minutes, skimming off the blood foam that is bubbling up little by little.
After blanching the pig's trotters, put them in cold water and rinse them.
Most of the original fishy smell of pig's trotters can be removed.
After cleaning.
Still ginger, garlic, onion, and some peppercorns.
Eating Sichuan peppercorns in winter can make people feel warm and is indispensable.
Then add the soaked kidney beans.
Then you can simmer it.
First boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat.
With a long period of stewing, the pig's trotters will become soft and chewy, and the soup from the kidney beans and pig's trotters will turn into a milky white color.
During this period.
You can also take out the seasonings that you put in earlier to remove the fishy smell.
The stewed soup will be clearer and milkier.
Two hours later.
The clear and milky white Mom’s Trotter Soup is ready to be served.
Jiang Ning sprinkled in a little salt and some matsutake mushrooms that had been preserved since spring.
It adds a touch of flavor to the mellow pig's trotter soup.
————————————————————————————
Made a soup.
Jiang Ning fried another large cabbage.
A simple lunch is ready.
Lin Shijiao looked at the big bowl of her mother's pig's trotter soup. She didn't know why this thing could increase milk production.
But looking at the thick milky white soup.
She suddenly felt... there seemed to be some kind of like-filling-like feeling in it.
Jiang Ning is still at a stage where he cannot eat anything too strong, so the pork hoof soup made by my mother is not very salty.
In order to cater to Lin Shijiao's taste, Jiang Ning made her a bowl of dipping sauce with soy sauce, onions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers.
Let her eat it with some dip.
When Jiang Ning put the pig's trotter soup in a small bowl and handed it to Lin Shijiao.
Lin Shijiao didn't feel comfortable eating it.
"This is for your body. I can't eat it."
"It's such a big pot, how can I finish it by myself? Jiaojiao, this is what you carried up the mountain, let's eat it together."
Jiang Ning stuffed the chopsticks into Lin Shijiao's hand.
Lin Shijiao couldn't stand Jiang Ning's enthusiasm, so she picked up the pig's trotter, dipped it in water, and was about to take a bite.
Very chewy and bouncy.
The pig's trotters are soft yet chewy.
This is so delicious!
Lin Shijiao's eyes lit up as she ate.
She had tasted Jiang Ning's cooking before, but at that time, she was unwilling to admit it.
Today, those little bumps are gone.
Lin Shijiao was particularly cheerful.
"Aning, it's delicious! What you made is really delicious! Soft and chewy."
Jiang Ning was drinking soup from a small bowl, and replied with a smile, "If it tastes good, eat more. I still have one more pig's trotter, and I can make more the next day."
This side.
The small kitchen was filled with heat and aroma.
In the room, the triplets were sleeping soundly, hugging each other.
Outside the door.
A little soldier in military uniform was rushing over.
"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law - there's a phone call - it's Captain Qin's number!"
