The aroma of cooking filled the house: I sent my eldest brother to become the Grand Secretary.

After listening to Shen Yu'an's description, Shen Cao felt that, according to what was said in her previous life, Old Madam Shen's health was probably due to old age, with thick blood lipids and high cholesterol.

The imperial physician was right; one really shouldn't eat too much meat.

However, it doesn't mean you can't eat meat.

In her past life, her grandfather was a chef all his life, and he also suffered from high blood lipids and high cholesterol in his old age.

When she has free time, she cooks some light and delicious meals for her grandfather.

After taking it for about a month, when I went to the hospital for a follow-up examination, my blood lipids and cholesterol were much lower.

"Does your grandmother usually like to eat greasy food?"

Shen Yu'an nodded, "My grandmother loved to eat fatty meat, as well as fried and sweet foods."

No wonder.

Shen Cao had never met Old Madam Shen, but based on Shen Yu'an's description, she could roughly imagine what Old Madam Shen looked like.

"If you trust me, then take me to your kitchen so I can see what ingredients we have and cook a meal for the old lady."

"Let her eat it for seven days first, then let the doctor come back to check on her. If there is any improvement, I will make a special diet for the old lady in the future."

“I definitely believe you,” Shen Yu’an said almost without hesitation.

When Shen Cao arrived at the Shen family's kitchen, she was truly amazed.

So this is what a wealthy person's kitchen looks like.

Although it's not as big as a restaurant kitchen, it has all kinds of ingredients.

Everything that restaurants have, we have here.

What you can't find in restaurants, you can find here.

Shen Cao actually found a piece of beef.

She also saw winter melon, pumpkin, and some water spinach.

She planned to make a winter melon meatball soup, stir-fry some water spinach, and then cook a bowl of pumpkin porridge.

"Has anyone come forward?"

Shen Cao asked.

An aunt in her forties spoke up, "Yes, there are, but those are all used as food for the servants."

"The masters' food is all made with white flour."

“For Mrs. Shen’s condition, eating more coarse flour would be better than eating white flour.”

Shen Cao didn't know how to explain it, so she could only tell Shen Yu'an the result.

If she were to explain dietary fiber to him, he might not understand even after a whole day of explanation.

"There are some coarse flour buns steaming in the pot right now," the auntie said, pointing to the steaming pot.

That's perfect, then she won't have to steam buns for Grandma Shen separately anymore.

"By the way, Brother Shen, you can replace all of Grandma Shen's meals with coarse noodles and coarse rice."

"Although it doesn't taste good, it's good for her health."

Upon hearing that it would be good for the old lady's health, Shen Yu'an instructed the kitchen to replace the refined grains the old lady ate with whole grains every day.

The aunt who just spoke is the cook in the kitchen.

Shen Cao planned to cook the dishes while teaching her how to make them.

She first instructed the others to peel the pumpkin, cut it into chunks, and then mash it into pumpkin puree using a stone mill.

Now, let's cook the pumpkin porridge.

A small amount of millet was also added to the pumpkin porridge.

Shen Cao took a small piece of lean beef.

Mince the beef.

Then add pepper, an egg white, a little salt, and soy sauce to the ground beef.

Use chopsticks to stir the ground beef in one direction until it becomes sticky.

There is a big difference between minced meat that has been properly cooked and minced meat that hasn't been properly cooked. When minced meat is properly cooked, the meat clumps together and won't fall apart when it's poached into meatballs and cooked.

Once the ground beef was mixed well, Shen Cao took a small clay pot and placed it on a small stove to preheat it.

She sliced ​​the peeled and washed winter melon into thin slices.

By the time the winter melon was cut, the casserole dish was already hot.

She brushed a thin layer of oil into the pan and then added a little chopped garlic.

Sauté the minced garlic until golden brown, allowing the oil to release its unique aroma. Then, add the winter melon slices to the pan.

sizzle.

sizzle.

It makes a delicious sound.

Stir it to let the flavors of winter melon and garlic blend together, then pour in boiling water.

Once the water in the pot boils again, you can blanch the meatballs in it.

The cook watched Shen Cao's skillful movements, as if the minced meat had come to life in her hands.

Each meatball is not only round but also uniform in size.

Watching her simmer meatballs was like watching a famous painter create a masterpiece; her movements were incredibly graceful.

The final product is also very beautiful.

After the meatballs are cooked, cover the pot with the lid.

Time is an essential condition for a delicious dish.

Next, the heat, combined with time, is needed to bring out the delicious flavor.

Stir-fried water spinach is very simple to make.

Shen Cao first poured a little rapeseed oil into the wok.

Then add the minced garlic.

Once the aroma is released, add the washed water spinach.

Stir-fry the water spinach over high heat until it softens, then add a little soy sauce and salt. Shencao's secret is to add a touch of sugar to enhance the flavor.

Before taking it out of the pot, drizzle a little vinegar around the edge of the pot.

The stir-fried water spinach, with its tangy, crisp, and appetizing flavor, is ready to serve.

The cook smelled the stir-fried water spinach in front of her.

To be honest, this was the first time she had ever seen this method, and it smelled much better than what she made.

After the water spinach was stir-fried, the winter melon meatball soup was almost ready.

Shen Cao opened the pot lid and skimmed off the foam on the surface.

Some of the foam is blood from the meat, and some is oil from the soup.

Finally, sprinkle a small handful of chopped cilantro on top, and the winter melon meatball soup is ready.

Shen Cao first let Shen Yu'an and the others try it.

"good to eat."

Although it's light, it really tastes delicious.

Winter melon and meatball soup is refreshing and delicious, especially the meatballs which are very chewy and satisfying.

Stir-fried water spinach has a crisp and sour taste that whets the appetite.

The pumpkin porridge was exceptionally delicious, with a rich, smooth texture and a sweet, intensely flavorful taste.

Grandma Shen looked at the colorful but still very bland food and had no appetite.

But she saw that there was meat in it, and the stir-fried water spinach had a sour taste that was very appetizing.

She tried a bite.

One bite, one bite, and another bite.

Soon, the plate was empty.

……

This is Shifeng Village.

Ji Lingfeng successfully stayed by Sun Chuang's side and became his bodyguard.

Tiger has been getting more and more idle lately; the chieftain rarely gives him any orders unless absolutely necessary.

Lately, he's been going to the back mountain whenever he has free time.

He went hunting in the back mountains a while ago and accidentally stepped into a trap set by the hunters.

Later, he was saved by a little girl.

He stayed at the girl's house for several days, and when he returned, he thought the chieftain would be very worried when he found out he was gone.

But when he got back, he found out that no one had noticed he had been gone for several days.

The girl's words suddenly came to mind.

Don't you want to find your family?

This time, he finally made up his mind.
