Chapter 57 Treating Food Allergies
Li Meng was about to open the door to see what was going on when she heard someone knocking on her door!
"Li Zhiqing, you don't have any allergy medicine, can you sell it to me?" Li Meng opened the door and saw it was the old village party secretary. Basically, all the affairs of the village are now handed over to the team leader, and the village party secretary has never been in charge of anything. When they see each other, they just say hello and there is not much interaction!
After asking, Li Meng found out that the old branch secretary's grandson had something to eat today and his whole body was covered with red spots and was extremely itchy. He asked the village doctor to see him, and he said it was probably an allergy. Unfortunately, the doctor didn't have any medicine to treat allergies, so he asked him to ask the educated youth in the educated youth compound if they had such medicine!
"Old branch secretary, don't worry. I'll go with you to check it out. This way I'll know how many pills the child should take. You wait here. I'll go back to get some things. With the help of the cabinet door, Li Meng took out the anti-allergic pills and ointment from the space and put them in a small cloth bag." Then Li Meng took a flashlight and planned to follow the old branch secretary to check on the child!
"Thank you so much," the old branch secretary's face flushed with excitement. He felt heartbroken when he thought of his little grandson scratching and shouting that it was itchy!
Li Meng followed the old branch secretary back home and saw his little grandson rolling around on the bed and crying for itchiness. The child's grandmother and mother were running around anxiously, their eyes red with anxiety. When they saw the old branch secretary coming with Li Meng, they quickly gave up their seats so that Li Meng could come over to see the child.
"Did he eat fish or shrimp tonight?" Li Meng looked at the red spots on the child's body. Some places were scratched by the child.
"He's eaten fish and shrimp before and he was fine. Besides, my family hasn't eaten anything all day," the child's mother replied.
"So what did you eat tonight? Tell me about it." Li Meng took out the ointment and asked the old branch secretary to prepare warm water. She rubbed the rash on the child's body and applied the anti-itching ointment first!
"It's just a normal dinner, nothing special. I just ground some soy milk in the evening. The child usually drinks it. Today, his grandmother asked me to add some peanuts to grind it together, and we all drank it. It's okay. I don't know what's wrong with the child?" The child's mother quickly told him everything they had eaten in the evening!
Li Meng probably guessed what was going on. It was the peanuts that were causing the problem. It was probably because the child couldn't eat peanuts that caused the allergy. She took out the allergy treatment medicine and handed it to the child's mother, asking the mother to feed the child quickly and reminding her to drink more water!
"It will be fine in a while, don't be nervous, it's just food allergy. Don't let him eat peanuts in the future," Li Meng touched the child's head and instructed the old branch secretary's family. By the way, he also gave them some popular science knowledge about which foods are prone to allergies and they must pay attention.
"Thank you so much, otherwise we wouldn't know what to do." The old branch secretary expressed his gratitude quickly.
"You're welcome. It's a simple matter. I'll leave this medicine to you. You should be almost healed after taking two more meals."
"Does it still itch now?" Li Meng asked the child who was drinking water obediently with a smile.
"It's not itchy much anymore, thank you, sister." The little boy nodded obediently. After hearing the little boy's answer, Li Meng felt relieved and prepared to get up and say goodbye!
The old branch secretary and his family expressed their gratitude profusely, and asked the child’s father to send her to the gate of the Youth League Home before they went back with peace of mind!
"What's wrong? Is the child okay?" Wu Ruirui had been waiting for her to come back and didn't dare to go to bed first. When he saw Li Meng enter the room, he hurriedly asked.
“It’s okay, it’s just a food allergy.” Li Meng said, then took off her clothes, lay down in the bed and let out a long breath. In this season, the bed is the most comfortable!
"Remember to go to bed early and don't read novels too late. I'm a little tired after climbing the mountain today. I'm going to sleep first." After saying this, Li Meng changed into a comfortable position and fell asleep!
In the early morning, the village was filled with mist. The roosters near the Youth Farm began to crow one after another, each louder than the other, as if they were competing.
Li Meng turned over, rubbed her eyes and looked at her watch. It was not yet 6 o'clock. She took a nap. When she first came here, she could not stand the crowing of roosters in the morning. She wanted to catch all the roosters that disturbed her sleep and kill them all. Now she has gradually gotten used to it!
Listening to the footsteps coming from outside, the educated youths all started a new day. Except for the male educated youth who were called by the team leader to dig ditches, the female educated youths had nothing to do. The weather was getting colder and people were getting lazier!
Li Meng got up, got herself ready, and started a busy day. Today she was going to make pork sauce, and she had to wash and chop a lot of ingredients first!
"Mengmeng, let me light the fire for you," Li Laidi stuck his head into the kitchen. Li Meng was chopping meat. In fact, she could take the meat to the space and grind it with a meat grinder, but she felt that the minced meat made in this way had no soul, lacked a bit of granularity, and did not taste good!
"Okay, if you have nothing to do, come and help," Li Meng replied with a smile.
"Where is the little girl Ruirui? Is she still sleeping?" Li Laidi asked. "Yeah, she doesn't have to go to work and has nothing to do, so I didn't call her and let her sleep. This way I can save a breakfast," Li Meng joked.
"Haha, what you said makes sense. I will do the same thing in the future. The more money I can save, the better." Li Laidi felt that she seemed to know some great secret, and said excitedly!
"Uh"······Li Meng was speechless! What a weird train of thought!
With the help of Li Laidi, Li Meng finished the process in one go: frying, cooling, bottling, sealing and packaging. She packed all the pork sauce. The ones she sent to her eldest brother and second uncle were packed in iron lunch boxes that she had taken out in advance. The boxes were sealed very tightly and they didn't leak after trying several times. Only then did Li Meng feel relieved and prepared to take them to town to mail them in the afternoon!
During the cooking process, the whole yard was filled with fragrance. Wu Ruirui was so hungry by the aroma that he climbed up from the kang! He rushed to the kitchen crying, and finally ate a steamed bun with pork sauce as he wished, then returned to his room contentedly to read a novel.
"Mengmeng, your cooking skills are really good. I feel like I don't need to eat any vegetables in the future. I can eat three bowls of rice with just this sauce," Li Laidi praised sincerely. When the dish was just out of the pot, Li Meng scooped some with a small spoon for her to taste. It tasted really good, fragrant and spicy, and especially flavorful!
"Don't cook for me at noon. I'll make noodles with soybean paste and use this sauce. I can't let you work for nothing." Li Meng invited Li Laidi to eat here at noon. Li Laidi said without hesitation, "Wait for me" and threw down the fire stick and went out.
When he came back, he brought a small bag of flour and put it on the stove. "Use this flour to make noodles. We can't eat yours every day."
"Let me roll the noodles. I often make noodles when I am at home. My parents have always praised the delicious noodles I make," said Li Laidi with a smile.
Okay then, I'll trouble you, sister. Thank you for the flour, Li Meng said and continued to be busy with the work in her hands!
The conversation between the two was heard by Liu Huan who was passing by the kitchen. "Bah, you sycophants. One is shameless and eats other people's food every day, and the other is pretending to be generous. If she was really generous, why didn't she invite everyone to eat together? You two bitches! I'll deal with you when I have time! I'll go to town to find my brother Qian this afternoon, humph."
