In the book, I was fed by my sister
Chapter 17: Fried Pork on Bamboo Board
The kitchen of Gu Mansion.
Chef Liu was worried. He had been in the Gu family kitchen for more than 20 years and had been the chef for 13 years. He was worried that his position might be lost. The old lady missed that soup, but the mushroom soup he made recently was always not to the master's liking, even though he had received a reward from the master last time.
"Master Liu." Mrs. Wang brought Anzi to the kitchen.
"My aunt, have you replied?"
Mrs. Wang stepped aside and said, "Take a look."
Chef Liu strode forward, opened the basket of mushrooms, picked up one and examined it carefully, "Hey! This time I'm right! Aunt, you are my second parent. You also brought back the big-foot mushroom. Today I must avenge my previous shame!"
Mrs. Wang smiled and asked, "Can you use these pheasants?"
Chef Liu knew everything in his heart and suggested, "How about I make some chicken soup for you?"
Mrs. Wang nodded and reminded: "Chef Liu, it's getting late. The masters should have lunch."
South Hall of the Gu Family.
Madam Gu frowned as she looked at the wild mushroom chicken soup in front of her. "Go away. I'll just have some vegetarian food."
Mrs. Wang stood behind Madam Gu and stepped forward to persuade her, "Madam, why don't you try it and see if it tastes like that?"
Madam Gu's brows relaxed, realizing that the mountain delicacy had been found, and said, "Yonghua is still doing a good job. Then serve me a bowl."
The clear chicken soup was accompanied by the fragrant wild mushroom flavor. Mrs. Gu originally only wanted to taste it, but before she knew it, she had finished the small half bowl. The taste was exactly the same as last time. In the hot summer, one should not be greedy for fishy things, but for some reason, after drinking this soup, one felt comfortable all over.
The food produced by the wood element ability not only enhances the flavor of the food, but also has a repairing effect on the body. Old Madam Gu has been fasting and chanting for years, copying scriptures behind closed doors, and her body is very weak. She relies on ginseng soup every day to nourish herself. She is very weak inside, but there is no abnormality on the outside. As a result, Old Madam Gu always feels depressed and has difficulty falling asleep.
The food produced by the wood-type ability can nourish from within, and the more severe the internal deficiency, the better the effect.
After drinking the soup, Madam Gu's appetite actually opened up. She looked at the stewed rice in the stone pot on the table and asked curiously, "What is that? It smells delicious."
"Chef Liu uses five-year-old well salt to pickle ham and black mushrooms (big-foot mushrooms, which are now porcini mushrooms) to make braised rice."
"Mother, be careful about indigestion." Tang reminded from the side. She knew that Madam Gu had a poor appetite and was about to return to Beijing. She was worried that if she fell ill at this time, her plan to return to the city would have to be put on hold.
"No problem. After lunch, Yonghua will accompany me to walk around the Summer Lotus Pond twice."
"Yes, then I will ask the kitchen to prepare the black plums first."
Old Madam Gu picked up the black mushroom of the perfect thickness and tasted it carefully.
"The last time I ate mushrooms of this quality was at a banquet hosted by Prince Yong'an's Palace. Princess Yong'an also loves these wild delicacies. Yonghua, can we collect these mushrooms in large quantities?"
"Madam, I will prepare it." Mrs. Wang understood that the old lady wanted to invite Princess Yong'an to the birthday banquet. How could the officials have not tasted all kinds of delicacies? The mushrooms picked by the villagers really caught the old lady's eyes, and she actually wanted to use them for the banquet. She swallowed her saliva and really wanted to try it. She didn't know if there was any left in the kitchen today.
In the Song family yard, sunlight shone on the locust tree and leaked through the gaps between the leaves. Song Ran hummed a tune happily and was busy arranging the five baskets in front of him.
The basket of mushrooms was sold out, and Song Ran was convinced that she had mastered the technique of growing mushrooms. She followed the example of Grandma Gu and bought four more baskets.
Granny Gu looked at her and asked doubtfully, "Is it really possible?"
"Of course! The basket of mushrooms I distributed are in no way inferior to those on the mountain. If you don't believe me, come and take a look when these five baskets grow mushrooms." Song Ran said it confidently, and that little expression scared Grandma Gu.
Grandma Gu smiled and nodded, saying with emotion: "If you really have this skill, you won't have to worry about your livelihood. You have to master it well and never let others know. This will be your ability to make a living in the future."
Song Li heard the conversation between the two clearly in the yard. She didn't expect that this old lady was so kind to her sister. In the end times, it was so rare to meet such a good person.
Song Ran placed the baskets in the backyard, and Song Li injected a trace of supernatural power into them.
Song Li realized from the last time she dealt with Li Sanwan that her supernatural powers were too weak and she needed more physical exercise.
At present, her ability level is only level three, which means that the range she can explore is limited to fifty meters. The use of superpowers is a process of absorption and release. But this body is too immature to store too much superpowers. Every time she uses superpowers, she needs to absorb a large amount of plant life from the external environment as energy exchange.
She was in the village, and within a range of 50 meters, she could only touch the crops in the fields. The vitality provided by the annual vegetation was really minimal. If she wanted to absorb all of it, it would inevitably cause a large area of crops to wither. People here went into the fields before dawn, and if a large area of crops withered, it would surely cause panic.
She must find opportunities to go into the mountains more often. As long as her ability level is improved and her exploration range is expanded, she can exchange energy between the plants at home and in the mountains.
However, going into the mountains means facing certain dangers, and it is impossible for my sister to go into the mountains every day.
"It's getting hotter and hotter." Song Ran wiped the sweat off his head. "I soaked black plums this morning and will make a pot of black plum soup later to cool down."
When Grandma Gu heard about the black plum soup, her mouth watered and she smiled and said, "Then I'll have to ask for a bowl. I just happen to have a small jar of dried osmanthus flowers from last year. I'll go back to the house and get two bowls."
The washed black plums have been soaked in clean water for two hours. Now the soup base is like ink. Song Ran puts it on a small stove. After the water boils, the ink-colored water at the bottom surges, and the whole pot of soup turns black.
After boiling for half a minute, Song Ran poured in an appropriate amount of licorice, tangerine peel and rock sugar and boiled together.
Song Ran poured out most of the bowl, sprinkled some dried osmanthus flowers on it and placed it in front of Song Li, advising: "Xiaoguai, you have been feeling cold all day, so don't be greedy for coolness. Wait until this bowl of black plum soup is warm, and drink it when you feel thirsty." Then he put the remaining black plum soup into the wooden barrel, "Grandma Gu, put ours in the well and chill it before drinking."
"Xiao Li'er, are you feeling unwell again?"
"I don't know what's wrong with her. Her hands and feet are always cold. When I hold her in my arms when I sleep at night, she feels like a lump of ice. But there's nothing wrong with her otherwise."
At this point, Song Ran pulled Granny Gu aside with a worried look on her face. "She didn't like to talk or laugh before. I thought she was sick so she wasn't that angry. But now that she's recovered, she's still depressed."
"Yeah, at this age, who in the village doesn't run like crazy?"
Song Li was drinking the sour-sweet plum drink and could hear her elder sister's voice clearly.
My sister's concern for me became an excuse for me to go out.
"Sister, I want to go out and play."
"Okay, they are probably playing in the bamboo forest or at the hall, go find them." Song Ran said as he grabbed a handful of peanut candy from the house and put it in Song Li's pocket, "Remember to share. If they don't take you with them when they play for the first time, give them candy. Don't follow the big ones, find girls who are about the same height as you. Also, don't go to the river to play in the water. If you really want to play, I'll take you there tomorrow morning when I go to do laundry." Song Ran gave a lot of instructions,
"I got it."
"Go ahead, just watch the cows go back and go home, okay?"
"understood."
Song Li went out, looked at the mountain in the distance, locked his target and walked towards the mountain.
The village was so small that even the dogs running on the path were known to which family they belonged. If a stranger came, he would be discovered in a moment. It was also very difficult for the children in the village to escape.
"Aren't you the second daughter of the Song family? Where is your sister?"
Song Li didn't want to talk to anyone, but before she left, she heard her elder sister tell her to be sweet when she was out, so she turned around and said, "She's at home."
"Are you fully recovered? My Mu Yaer is playing under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the hall. Go find them and play." The woman pointed in the direction of Song Li's left hand, but the little carrot-head ignored her and walked towards the mountain. "Hey, are you going to run into the mountain? Be careful or I'll tell your sister and you'll have to have a good meal of bamboo-crusted pork."
Fried meat on bamboo board? Can you eat meat in the mountains?
Song Li said politely to the aunt, "Excuse me, aunt."
