Houttuynia cordata, also known as fish mint, gets its name from its fishy smell.
It has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing inflammation and relieving pain, and is especially effective for lung inflammation. The whole plant can be used as medicine.
It can be boiled in water, dried and used to make tea, meat soup, or cold dishes.
However, it tastes best when served cold, but the flavor is very fishy, which most people can't accept.
Li Xiyue could tolerate the smell of houttuynia cordata; she even found it quite pleasant.
Wash the roots and leaves of the houttuynia cordata thoroughly, then mix it with salt, soy sauce, minced garlic, vinegar, a little white sugar, and chili. Pour hot oil over it and sprinkle with sesame seeds. The aroma will come out immediately.
Let it marinate for a while, then steam the rice and a steamed egg custard. Let's have a simple lunch.
The food was ready, and Li Xiyue sat down to eat. She picked up a piece of houttuynia cordata with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth. Mmm, it was so delicious.
"Yueyue." At this moment, Huang Xinrui arrived. Seeing that Yueyue was already eating, she quickly went to see what she was eating. Smelling the houttuynia cordata, she immediately covered her nose. "Eating raw houttuynia cordata, Yueyue, you're too amazing!"
She wasn't cooking today, so she had some free time and came over to talk to Yueyue.
Li Xiyue said with a smile, "It's delicious, you should try it."
"No, no, thank you." Huang Xinrui waved her hands repeatedly.
Li Xiyue didn't force anyone and ate with relish. "Haven't you eaten yet?"
"It's still early. Today, Zhu Zhiqing and Li Muqing are cooking. Neither of them are very good at it. Li Muqing even used her injury as an excuse not to do it. Zhu Zhiqing was busy running around by himself with a dark face." Huang Xinrui got angry whenever she mentioned the people at the educated youth settlement.
"You have no idea how much trouble Li Muqing and Zhou Yunxia cause. Ever since they came, the educated youth settlement has been in chaos every day," Huang Xinrui complained while rubbing Xiaobai's head.
I really miss the peaceful days of the past.
Li Xiyue then asked, "Didn't Wang, the educated youth, go to help?"
"No," Huang Xinrui said softly, "They're all poor."
Li Xiyue smiled. This Wang Jiaxing, though he looks honest and upright, is actually quite clever. At least he won't suffer any losses.
Huang Xinrui was just there to vent, and then she left. Li Xiyue had just finished eating and cleaned up the kitchen when Xu Dashan arrived.
"Dr. Li, your aunt made some steamed buns and asked me to give you some. Also, these are two wild rabbits I found in a trap on the mountain yesterday. They've been cleaned and processed. I'll keep the rabbit fur for you. Your aunt can make you a scarf for winter; it'll keep you warm."
Li Xiyue was very touched. "You're too kind. Please don't bother with the scarf. Keep it for Panpan. I have a scarf to wear."
“He’s a boy, what’s there to be afraid of in the cold? You’re a girl, you can’t stand the cold.” Xu Dashan handed him the things. “I’m leaving now. I’ll give them to you again tomorrow if I catch any game. By the way, do you have enough food? If not, I’ll get you some.”
Li Xiyue laughed and said, "It's enough, don't worry about it, I don't lack anything."
Chu Xun brought a lot of food before he left, and she also had a huge amount in her spatial storage. She couldn't possibly finish it all.
"That's good. Just let me know if you need anything, don't be shy." Xu Dashan walked away with a simple smile.
Li Xiyue felt a warmth in her heart. Xu Dashan would give her things from time to time, truly treating her like family.
However, she didn't take his things for nothing; every now and then she would bring some brown sugar and malted milk powder to visit Fang Yue'e and Xiao Panpan.
Although little Panpan is only a few months old, she is chubby and very cute. She doesn't want to let go when she holds her, and Panpan likes to be held by her. When she cries, she takes her and Panpan stops crying.
Fang Yue'e even joked with her son, saying that he's so young and already likes pretty girls, what will he be like when he grows up?
