After a slight noise in Grandma Tao's room, Wen Wen leaned out of the room with a tired face.
"How? How is it?" Ren Yue had been guarding outside the house, and when he heard the door slightly move, he was the first to rush up.
"Well, don't worry, everything is going smoothly as expected. Sister Xue'er is watching in the house. I will cook some suitable meals. You can go in and have a look." With a gentle and gentle smile, there are two shallow spots on the cheeks. As soon as the pear dimple appeared, it immediately extinguished the restless fire in everyone's heart.
"Mother-in-law, are you ready?!" The eldest daughter-in-law of Tao Apo's family asked in surprise!
"Well, all the accumulated dirt has been discharged, and I feel much refreshed." Rou Gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.
No one knows what a cook and a medical girl who did not belong to the era of Da Zhou were busy in that house just now.
Even before everyone came in, Nangong Xue had already packed up the equipment used, and opened the windows to ventilate the room, making the house as clean as new.
Right now, everyone is rushing in the door. They thought that Grandma Tao was still lying on the bed in pain like in the past, not daring to move, with a bitter expression on her face; Smiling half lying on the bed, although the body is still very weak, but the state of the whole person is completely different from the past!
"Mother! You're all right!" Grandma Tao's eldest son burst into tears with excitement. He fell to his knees and threw himself next to Grandma Tao, rubbing left and right. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it. !
"Thanks to these two girls!" Grandma Tao smiled slightly, because she hadn't eaten for a long time, she was quite weak in speaking.
"Miss is going to prepare meals? Ah, ah, how can such a small matter bother the girl to do it herself, Pearl, you go to the kitchen and explain. Let the kitchen prepare a sumptuous dinner for the old lady!" The eldest daughter-in-law of the Tao family saw He hurriedly greeted Grandma Tao's personal maid.
"No, no, let my sister go. Grandma Tao has just relaxed, and this treatment is the first step. The key lies in the daily diet!" Nangongxue immediately rescued from it.
Just before coming here, she had already explained to Ruan the essentials of the diet after treating the elderly with spleen and stomach disorders. Although she didn't know what kind of ingredients to cook for Grandma Tao in Dazhou, she believed that Ruan must know!
Because as Wen Rou said, there is a specialization in the art industry!
She is a culinary idiot, and she has an understanding of the food habits of every ingredient. After explaining it briefly, Rourou already has an idea in her heart.
In Tao's kitchen. Gentle looked around.
I saw that there are all kinds of ingredients here. The surrounding walls and food racks are full of fat bare chickens, ducks, smoked meat, wax products, etc., and only a few vegetables are seen in a small bamboo basket. , and there are few leafy vegetables.
There are also some fine grains in the rice tank and noodle tank.
"Dare to ask, Tao Mansion usually eats these?" Rourou asked, pointing to the ingredients in this circle.
"Exactly! Before the old lady was not ill, she liked to eat these foods with strong flavors, such as braised chicken legs, braised duck feet in oil, Su Bai meat, and ham stew. The Faji steamed stuffed bun shop at the entrance, the old lady used to eat a few of them every day, saying that the meat in the steamed buns was delicious. The taste was excellent! Unfortunately, the old lady fell ill later and couldn’t even eat porridge. I went in..." The maid named Zhu'er spoke carefully and gently.
"Do other people in the mansion eat like this?" Rourou continued to ask casually.
"Well, my master is a very polite person. He said that every meal must have chicken, duck and fish, which is a feast! If the dishes are cooked too little, it will be mean, and it will be disrespectful to others!" Zhu Er crisply said In response, he was full of pride.
"I can't tell, the Tao family is quite rich and powerful!" Wenrou smiled jokingly. But I couldn't help muttering in my heart: No wonder! Grandma Tao suffers from spleen-stomach disorders, but it is just as Sister Xueer guessed, this disease is all caused by eating! Eat so greasy, no wonder the stomach will be bad! Today is Grandma Tao. If we don't come, I'm afraid Master Tao will be next!
"Pearl, is there any oatmeal at home?" Rourou asked casually.
"Oats? What do you want that girl for? Damn, can't you use fine rice and white flour?" Pearl was puzzled.
"Isn't there any at home? You can go buy some..." Rourou was about to say.
"Lady later. I remembered that there should be a stable. I saw it a few days ago." After saying that, Pearl ran out quickly, and when she came back, she already had half a bag of oats in her arms.
"Great! Ms. Laozhu'er helped to grind this oatmeal into powder with a small mill." With a gentle smile, she pointed to the small stone mill for grinding soybean milk in the kitchen.
Zhu'er did her duty, although she was puzzled in her heart, she still carefully ground all the oatmeal.
At the same time, Rourou rolled up his sleeves and started to operate!
Fresh big bones are demeaned, tendons removed, and their bones are broken to expose their marrow. They are put into an iron pot and simmered over low heat.
Cut the green bamboo shoots into shreds and the yam into small pieces, add them to the big bone broth and continue to simmer.
The green leafy vegetables are all chopped, almost chopped into vegetable puree.
"Girl, the oatmeal is ready!" At this moment, Pearl wiped the sweat from her brow and said cheerfully.
"Thank you!" Rourou knew that grinding oatmeal is a real physical labor, took the finely ground oatmeal, grabbed a small handful of rice, added an appropriate amount of water, and boiled them together in a fine white clay pot.
The white rice milk is mixed with yellowish oat flour, and under the effect of heat, the unique mellow aroma of grain is slowly volatilized.
After boiling for a few times, turn it to a low fire, and Genuine then added the vegetable puree into it.
Stir gently with a large spoon.
The unique material of the clay pot is the magic tool to bring out the aroma of grain. As the fine bubbles become more and more bulging, a pot of milky white porridge turns emerald green in the blink of an eye.
That's the effect of vegetable puree!
The aroma of the grain is sandwiched with the sweetness of the vegetables. Although it is a simple pot of porridge, it really whets the appetite and makes the mouth water.
After a while, the big bone soup is also ready.
Gentle just put some salt and some vinegar.
The original clear bone broth immediately turned milky white, which is the calcification effect of vinegar!
Remove the fine oil layer on the bone broth, and a bowl of sweet and delicious bone marrow bamboo shoot soup is ready!
"Girl, is this all right?" Zhu'er asked with some concern.
"Well, that's enough! Let's go. Grandma Tao is still hungry!" Rourou nodded.
"Don't you need to cook a few more meat dishes?" Zhu'er was still a little worried. This porridge and rice are all soup. How can there be a bit of a fishy shadow! It's all watery, you can't get enough of it!
"No need. These are enough!" She comforted with a gentle smile, then found a tray, Zhu'er carried it, and the two walked quickly into Grandma Tao's room.
A crowd surrounded, of course Ren Yue and Nangong Xue were also present.
"Pearl! You bloody girl! You were asked to help the girl cook, why did you only do this!" The eldest son of the Tao family immediately felt ashamed when he saw such a humble thing.
"Master Tao, please calm down. In fact, today's meal is suitable for Grandma Tao!" Rourou took the tray that Zhu'er was carrying, took the bowl of porridge and rice, gently blew a spoonful, and sent it to Grandma Tao's mouth .
"It's porridge." Grandma Tao glanced slightly, quite disappointed!
She had thought that her stomach would be unobstructed, and that the kitchen in the house would be full of fish and meat for her to eat to her heart's content, but she didn't expect that the first meal was a bowl of porridge.
However, this porridge looks quite refreshing, green like emerald, and has a faint sweetness.
"Grandma Tao. Try it, be careful not to burn it!" Rourou persuaded softly.
Xu felt that he had been cured of his illness, so he went to cook himself. Even a bowl of porridge should be eaten happily.
Grandma Tao opened her mouth slightly.
Entrance with a spoonful of porridge.
God! this is…
Grandma Tao was stunned!
I have never eaten such a delicious porridge. It has a bouncy texture, the sweetness of the rice, and a refreshing taste.
The bouncy is finely crushed oatmeal powder, and the refreshment naturally comes from the taste of vegetables.
There was no need to gently persuade her to take a second sip, Grandma Tao took the porridge bowl herself, blew and ate mouthful by mouthful, almost in the blink of an eye. Grandma Tao ate up that bowl of porridge and rice.
I don't know if I'm really hungry, or this bowl of porridge is too delicious!
The Tao family who watched around looked at each other in blank dismay. Isn't it just a bowl of porridge! As for eating like this!
"Grandma Tao, is it delicious?" asked tenderly and concernedly.
"Delicious. Delicious! Miss, what kind of porridge is this? Why is it green? It tastes really good!" Grandma Tao smacked her lips.
"This is oatmeal and vegetable porridge!" Gentle and softly replied.
"Oats!" Not only Grandma Tao, but even the rest of the Tao family present were astonished!
Because in their Tao family, the delicious taste like oatmeal can only be fed to horses!
"Isn't that for feeding the horses!" Finally someone whispered.
"Cough cough." Ren Yue coughed lightly.
Who said oats are for horses! Back in the city of Xi'an, Ruan Rou cooked sweet and delicious oatmeal many times, not only Ren Yue ate it, Sheng Yaoshan ate it, even Sheng Jiaoxue, Mr. Song Tao, and the Ninth Prince Liu Xian all ate it!
People with such a noble status ate it all, and a common people's family in the capital even fed this grain to horses!
Ren Yue was displeased and sighed slightly.
"Master Tao doesn't know, this oatmeal is an excellent thing. It can not only supplement the body's needs, but also has an extremely good effect on intestinal peristalsis! It can moisten the intestines and remove oil. Regular consumption is very good for the body!" Gentle paused paused.
"Indeed, Grandma Tao had gastrointestinal discomfort because she ate too much greasy food and the old people's gastrointestinal function is not good. Although we helped her to clear her intestines today, it can maintain her health. It still depends on the daily diet, so don't repeat the meat and fish, etc. Later, my sister will write a recipe for you, follow the rules in it every day and feed it to Grandma Tao, so that you can keep your body healthy and safe !” Nangong Xue explained from the side.
"Grandma Tao, come and try this again, it will be of great benefit to your recovery!" With a gentle smile, he took the bowl of bone marrow bamboo shoot soup again.
Refreshing bone broth, paired with fibrous bamboo shoots, this is the first time Grandma Tao feels that she can eat soup so heartily without eating meat!
"Adding vinegar to this bone soup can greatly extract the calcium in the bone soup, and it is also very good for human absorption! Grandma Tao is old and weak, and has long-term malnutrition. Drink more Bone soup is also very beneficial to her." Nangong Xue continued to explain.
"It turns out that there is such a great knowledge in eating!" The Tao family was shocked.
