Dressed as a farmer's widow, she brought her daughter to stock up on food and reached the top

Xiuying took Mrs. Sun's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, why are you being so polite to me? It's settled!" Then she asked Afan to call Jindan, Tiedan and Goudan over.

Seeing this, Mrs. Sun no longer refused and followed Xiuying into the kitchen to help. She also took this opportunity to ask Xiuying for some cooking advice.

Xiuying skillfully prepared the rabbit meat while saying to Mrs. Sun, "Sister-in-law, this dry pot rabbit is actually not difficult to make. I'll teach you."

Mrs. Sun came over, looked at it carefully, and responded, "Okay, sister, I'll learn it."

Xiuying first cut the rabbit meat into small pieces, blanched it in boiling water to remove the fishy smell, and said, "Sister-in-law, this step is very important. It can remove the blood and fishy smell." Sister-in-law Sun nodded.

Then, Xiuying took out various seasonings and said, "Then prepare the ginger, garlic, chili peppers, and peppercorns. When the oil is hot, put them in and stir-fry until fragrant." Mrs. Sun watched intently.

Xiuying put the blanched rabbit meat into the pot and stir-fried it, saying, "Sister-in-law, please stir-fry it a little longer until it's slightly golden brown. That way it will be fragrant."

Mrs. Sun asked curiously, "Sister, is there any particular order in which to add the seasonings?"

There is a particular order in which the ingredients must be prepared for a good dish. If the order is wrong, the taste will be very different.

Xiuying smiled and replied, "Yes, first add the broad bean paste and stir-fry until the oil turns red, then add the other seasonings, so that the flavor is full."

After frying for a while, Xiuying added an appropriate amount of water and started to simmer. "Sister-in-law, this needs to be simmered for a while so that the rabbit meat can absorb the flavor."

Mrs. Sun said expectantly, "So that's how it is. Sister, you're really amazing."

This was the first time that Mrs. Sun had seen these methods. The food at home was just randomly cooked together, cooked until done, and then dipped in chili powder.

In those precarious days, having a full meal was a luxury, and no one cared whether it tasted good or not. But things are different now. For the sake of my children, I have to live a more refined life.

Finally, when the soup was almost dry, Xiuying added the chopped side dishes and stir-fried them over high heat for a few times, and the fragrant dry pot rabbit was ready.

Mrs. Sun smelled the fragrance and said, "Sister, if I learn from you, I can make this delicious dry pot rabbit for my children in the future."

Mrs. Sun looked at the plump and beautiful girls in Xiuying's family and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Look at other people's children, each of them has a rosy complexion and a strong body.

Then he looked at his daughter Huahua, who was thin and small. She must have suffered a lot with him.

Now that life at home is finally better, I have to work harder and learn a few more delicious dishes from Xiuying, feed Huahua well and make her plump and healthy. I can't let the child suffer any more grievances.

If I get married in the future, I have to let my in-laws know that Huahua was raised with love and care.

Seeing that she had almost finished teaching the dry pot rabbit recipe, Xiuying smiled and said to Mrs. Sun, "Sister-in-law, I'll teach you how to make angelica chicken soup. This chicken soup is perfect for nourishing children like Huahua."

Mrs. Sun nodded quickly, her eyes full of anticipation.

Xiuying took out ingredients such as angelica, astragalus, and red dates from the cupboard and said as she washed them, "Sister-in-law, look, prepare these herbs first, wash them and set them aside."

Mrs. Sun watched carefully from the side, muttering, "Danggui, Huangqi, and red dates, I remember them."

Xiuying then put a prepared old hen into the pot, added an appropriate amount of water, and started to boil. "After the water boils, you need to skim off the foam on top so that the soup is clear."

Mrs. Sun stared at the pot intently and said, "Okay, I understand."

Xiuying put the prepared herbs into the pot and said, "Sister-in-law, after putting these herbs in, simmer over low heat. In about two hours, the soup will be ready."

Mrs. Sun nodded and replied, "Sister, you explained it in great detail. I've memorized it all."

Xiuying was busy with her work while she said to Mrs. Sun, "Sister-in-law, there are many benefits for girls if they eat more chicken stewed with angelica. Angelica can replenish blood and regulate menstruation. When girls have sufficient qi and blood, their complexion will be rosy and they will be in good spirits."

Mrs. Sun listened carefully and nodded repeatedly: "Sister, go on."

Xiuying continued, "And the chicken is rich in nutrients and can strengthen the body. Add in the astragalus root to replenish Qi, the longan and red dates to nourish the heart and spleen, and improve Qi and blood. This soup is extremely nourishing for a girl's body."

Mrs. Sun suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. Sister, you really know a lot."

Listening to Xiuying's words, Mrs. Sun thought to herself: No wonder the girls in Xiuying's family look so healthy, it's all thanks to this chicken stewed with angelica.

Xiuying is a good nurse and knows how to take care of a child. I didn't have the resources to properly nourish Huahua before.

I have to pay more attention to it in the future and follow Xiuying's advice to make Huahua take good care of herself and have a rosy complexion.

We can't let the child suffer in this regard. We must let her be as healthy and beautiful as the girls in Xiuying's family.

Xiuying smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I figured this out myself over the years. Huahua is in her growing years now, so drink more of this soup and you'll be healthy in the future."

Mrs. Sun said gratefully, "Sister Xiuying, thank you for thinking of Huahua."

The kitchen was filled with the aroma of chicken soup. Mrs. Sun thought to herself: When I get home, I must make more of this soup for Huahua so that the child can grow stronger.

Xiuying also asked Taohua to pack some angelica, astragalus, longan and red dates in a bag and wait for Mrs. Sun to take it with her when she left.

Let Taohua tell Mrs. Sun that there are a lot of medicinal herbs dug at home, and it would be a pity if they are not eaten because they may get infested with insects.

Xiuying carefully reminded Taohua: "Put it on carefully, don't leak anything."

Taohua nodded and replied, "I understand, mother."

In a corner of the yard, Guihua, Shiliu, and Sun Huahua were roasting sweet potatoes around a small fire.

Sun Huahua stared at the sweet potato and said excitedly, "I feel like I'm almost feeling better. It smells so good!"

Guihua smiled and said, "Wait a little longer. You can't eat hot sweet potatoes in a hurry."

Pomegranate took a small branch and gently turned the sweet potato over, saying, "Don't worry, you'll be able to eat it soon."

Several little girls were talking and laughing, their faces filled with innocent smiles, and the warm firelight reflected on their rosy cheeks.

Shi Liu and Sun Huahua sat on a small bench in the yard, chatting and laughing.

Shi Liu blinked her big eyes and said with a smile, "Sister Sun, I'm twelve years old this year. How about you?"

Sun Huahua replied gently, "I'll be fourteen next month."

Shi Liu was very excited. She took Sun Huahua's hand and said, "How about I recognize you as my sister? I will play with you from now on."
