After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

Chapter 28: The investigation is more than halfway through, and a preliminary summary is drawn up

When he returned to Wang Yu's house in the evening, Ding Xirui sat down and drank three glasses of water. Li's sister-in-law brought some hot porridge and side dishes. Smelling the fragrance, Ding Xirui felt like his chest was touching his back. However, Lin Mingxuan had not returned yet, so he didn't know how their group went to the "Xia" family.

About a quarter of an hour later, Lin Mingxuan and Banxia came back. Ding Xirui didn't ask anything and quickly asked them to sit down and eat. The four of them had been running around all day. Although they didn't do any heavy work, it was quite exhausting to concentrate on observing others. For a while, the only sound at the table was eating. The eldest sister-in-law watched from the side, wondering, "When did the porridge I cooked become so delicious?"

After dinner, the four began to share information.

The situation at the "Xia" family that Lin Mingxuan and Banxia went to was similar to that at the "Chun" family. They got up early to work in the fields, and there was no proper breakfast. The lunch dishes were similar, except that the "Xia" family ate pickled shrimps and crabs. Of course, the children didn't eat much, and their mother didn't care. In the evening, they had pancakes and wild vegetables, and his children also felt that the wild vegetables were a bit astringent and didn't want to eat them.

There are only two of them now, but the situations are already very similar. The situations of the two families, "Autumn" and "Winter", are probably similar.

In order to complete the observation task faster, the four of them went their separate ways the next day. Banxia and Nanxing went to the "Qiu" and "Dong" families, and Lin Mingxuan and Ding Xirui went to the "Mei" and "Lan" families.

Early in the morning, Ding Xirui was waiting at the door of "Lan"'s house. Her sister-in-law opened the door and poured her a cup of hot water. In the early morning of late spring, the temperature was still very low. After drinking a cup of hot water, Ding Xirui felt much better.

Not long after, the child was called. The Lan family also had two children, similar to the Chun family.

"Go wash your face quickly, eat the soaked rice, and then come with us to work in the fields."

"Rice soak?" Ding Xirui looked towards the kitchen and saw a small bowl filled with a small lump of cold rice. His sister-in-law poured some hot water into it and let the child eat it.

"Sister-in-law, is this your breakfast?" Ding Xirui asked.

"No, the neighbor next door called the kid's father out for a drink yesterday, and there was only some rice left. I was afraid it would go bad by noon, so I shared it with everyone and ate it one bite at a time." The eldest sister-in-law replied.

"Do you usually eat breakfast?" Ding Xirui asked.

"The child's father and I don't eat much. We can't eat. Before I got married, we used to have breakfast at my parents' place. After I came here, we gradually got used to it. However, my mother told me that the child needs to grow and it is important to make sure he is well fed. I make some porridge for them in the morning with a few vegetables, and they both like it very much." said the eldest sister-in-law.

Ding Xirui wrote it down silently on the paper.

At this time of year, every household would eat some shrimps and crabs, and the Lan family was no exception. After finishing work in the morning, the eldest brother of the Lan family used a net to fish for about a quarter of an hour and caught a handful of shrimps and crabs.

"If there are any to eat, just eat them. There are plenty of them in the fields anyway. They will grow slowly. Just don't catch them all." said the sister-in-law.

At noon, the eldest sister-in-law started cooking. She first steamed the shrimps and crabs, then slowly mashed them in a small bowl, and then mixed them into the rice and continued to steam. Although the shrimps and crabs are small, they are meat, and the steamed rice is particularly fragrant. After that, it was similar to the "Chun" and "Xia" families. She also mixed a bowl of wild vegetables.

"Sister-in-law, why do we have to mash the shrimps and crabs?" Ding Xirui asked.

"The children won't eat it if it's not mashed. This was taught to me by Mrs. Zhao." Mrs. Zhao, isn't that the "Zhu" family? Ding Xirui understood.

The two children were very well behaved. They didn’t complain about the bitterness of the wild vegetables and finished their rice.

"Will the food be astringent?" Ding Xirui asked.

"Yes, a little, but if we don't eat it, we will be scolded." The two children whispered.

Dinner was also porridge, but the porridge at "Lan's" house was not white rice porridge. The sister-in-law added a lot of dried vegetables into it.

"This was dried last summer. There are only a few left. We need to eat it up as soon as possible so that we can dry new ones soon." said the sister-in-law.

"Is this the skill you brought from your mother's home?" Ding Xirui asked.

"That's not the case. I learned it after I got married. Every family here makes it, but some make more and some make less. It can last for a while." The eldest sister-in-law replied.

This was not seen in the homes of "Chun" and "Xia", and I will need to ask for this information later.

When I returned to Wang Yu's house in the evening, Lin Mingxuan was already waiting. While Ding Xirui was sitting down to drink water, Banxia and Nanxing also came back. The four of them shared the news while eating.

The mother of the Qiu family would cook porridge for the children in the morning, but it was not stable. When she was free, she would cook porridge for them, but when she was busy, she would not cook porridge for them. The children of the Dong family and the Chun family were similar. The children of the two families often played together.

The Mei family that Lin Mingxuan went to didn't prepare breakfast, but Mei's sister-in-law prepared lunch more carefully. She would pick out small shrimps, mash them, mix them with vegetables and feed them to the children. She would also pick out larger crabs, squeeze out the meat and put them in the children's bowls. The wild vegetables in her family were not astringent. After observing, Lin Mingxuan found that she would soak the blanched wild vegetables in cold water for several hours in advance. In the evening, her family, like Lan's family, added dried vegetables to the porridge.

After everyone reported the situation, Ding Xirui asked his sister-in-law to bring a small bowl of paste, then glued several pieces of white paper together to make a large piece of paper, and then drew on it.

The column on the left is Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter; the row on the top is Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. Under lunch and dinner, there are dishes and rice, etc.

"First, let's tick the boxes of 'yes' and 'no'," said Ding Xirui.

"How does the Qiu family judge?" Banxia asked.

"Hmm..." Ding Xirui was thinking, he couldn't draw something half-right.

"Let's draw a circle first. This is a special situation." Lin Mingxuan said.

"it is good."

After all the busy work, it was obvious that none of the four families had a proper breakfast; lunch and dinner were all "available".

"Let's give a score then. One to three points, evaluate your child's eating situation." Ding Xirui continued.

In the lunch column, rice is three points, but the dishes are one point; dinner is three points each.

Then, Ding Xirui made another large piece of paper and wrote "plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum". At present, only "plum" and "orchid" could be evaluated, so he just made a sketch in the blanks of these two. Ding Xirui put the two large pieces of paper up and down, and some situations were already very obvious. For example, in the "dishes" column of lunch, "plum" and "orchid" accounted for two to three points.

There were only two more houses to go, and the mission was about to be completed. The four of them were very excited. Lin Mingxuan looked at Ding Xirui with admiration in his eyes, thinking that she was like a general commanding thousands of troops on the battlefield.

"Where did you learn to make this paper?" Before going to bed at night, Lin Mingxuan couldn't help but ask Ding Xirui.

"Hmm..." Ding Xirui touched his nose and continued:

"I've been thinking about it these past two days. When we were discussing the plan the other day, didn't you mention three reasons? I added the people we were going to visit in the front. Also, I think pictures should be more direct and clear than words."

"I see. I rarely saw such pictures before." Lin Mingxuan said. After meeting Ding Xirui, Lin Mingxuan came into contact with many new things, such as the games on New Year's Eve and this picture.

"These are just some small methods, not the most important ones." Ding Xirui walked forward and said.

"Then what is the most important thing?" Lin Mingxuan asked.

"A kind heart." Ding Xirui stretched out his hand and touched Lin Mingxuan's heart.
