In China, the concept of five grains has a long history. The "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" proposed the saying "five grains for nourishment, five fruits for assistance, five animals for benefit, and five vegetables for filling". Although the five-grain health porridge is just a small bowl of porridge, it has the effect of increasing appetite, promoting digestion and maintaining the normal function of the nervous system. It can also lower blood sugar, lower blood lipids, lose weight, detoxify, prevent cancer and enhance immunity - of course, the premise is to eat it regularly.
Ye Chui suggested that Mr. Lafayette drink porridge in the morning. This does not mean that fruit is bad for breakfast. In fact, some countries also have the habit of eating fruit for breakfast. However, the choice of fruit must be strict. Whether it is fruit or vegetables, there are examples of "food incompatibility", and this should be paid special attention to.
The method of making whole grain porridge is very simple. It is actually the same process as making ordinary porridge. In order to save time, Ye Chui uses a pressure cooker.
Aunt Wu helped Ye Chu find several kinds of ingredients, including various grains, which were very rich. With the help of Lin Wei, she washed all the ingredients clean, put them in the pressure cooker, poured in an appropriate amount of water, and started high-pressure boiling.
"Auntie Wu, we are in a hurry to use a pressure cooker. In fact, the most delicious way to cook it is to use an ordinary pot, turn off the heat and simmer it slowly so that the flavors of each ingredient can blend together. The porridge cooked in this way will be the most delicious. From now on, I would like to trouble you to start cooking the porridge earlier every morning. I will tell you how to cook several other porridges. It is very good to drink some porridge for breakfast." While cooking the porridge, Ye Chui said to Auntie Wu again.
"Okay." Aunt Wu agreed quickly. Ye Chui and Zhang Ying were both guests of the Lin family. However, Zhang Ying was bossy and annoying, but Ye Chui was polite and courteous, which made her like him very much.
Lin Wei looked at the rising spirits in the pressure cooker, and leaned over to Ye Chui, thinking of the delicious food Ye Chui had cooked for him before, and said greedily, "Ye Chui, I want to eat your preserved egg and lean meat porridge."
"Isn't it sold in the Kende Chicken fast food restaurant now?" Ye Chui said with a smile.
"It's different. The preserved egg and lean meat porridge in the fast food restaurant tastes very different from the preserved egg and lean meat porridge you made, Ye Chui." Lin Wei said seriously. "I want to eat the porridge you cooked yourself."
"I'll cook for you when I have the chance." Ye Chui said with a smile, and couldn't help pinching Lin Wei's face, causing Lin Wei to protest.
Ye Chui glanced outside the kitchen again. In the living room, Lao Fu was chatting with Wu Haimei and Lin Zhengdao. Zhang Ying was sitting next to them, obviously feeling a little left out...
It seems that Ye Chui's attack in the first phase was quite effective.
Ever since Lin Zhengdao got rid of Ye Chui half a month ago, Ye Chui has been thinking about this matter. He even specifically asked Lin Wei to write down Zhang Ying's daily health-preserving methods and tell them to him, and then he would specifically find fault with them.
Most chefs only care about whether the food tastes good or not. They don't care much about health preservation, but the most amazing thing about Ye Chui as the God of Food is that he is involved in everything related to food. It is absolutely not an exaggeration to say that he is an expert in health preservation. At least, as an expert who has been trained through practice, he is many times more professional than Zhang Ying who became a health expert by studying health preservation.
With the help of the pressure cooker, the five-grain health porridge was quickly cooked. In the living room, the old Buddha Lin Zhengdao and Wu Haimei were already sitting at the dining table. Wu Ma and Lin Wei helped Ye Chui bring up bowls of porridge, and then paired them with the pickled vegetables pickled by Ye Chui. Although these pickles were ordinary, they once whetted the appetite of Wu Haimei, an anorexic patient, and they were also ordinary side dishes that were extraordinary.
In the white porcelain bowl, various ingredients are boiled together, crystal clear, steaming with tempting hot steam, which makes people full of appetite.
The old lady was already so hungry that she couldn't stand it anymore. Seeing this, she immediately picked up a small white porcelain spoon and scooped a spoonful of soup, blew on it gently, and put it into her mouth. She felt that the taste was sweet, especially when she was hungry. She wanted to eat another bite after eating one.
The flavors of various ingredients such as red beans, mung beans, millet, corn, peanuts, red dates, etc. are blended together without losing the deliciousness of each ingredient, which can greatly satisfy the taste buds of the tongue.
Wu Haimei pointed at the small pickles that Wu Ma had just put on the table and recommended them to Lao Foye: "Mom, try this pickle again. It was specially pickled by Ye Chui. It's very delicious when eaten with porridge."
When the old lady heard Wu Haimei say this, she immediately picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of pickled vegetables. She felt that the pickled vegetables were sour and salty. It was indescribably refreshing. With the thick porridge in the bowl, although it was simple, it brought an indescribable feeling of luxury. This old lady was also pitiful. She was recommended by Zhang Ying, a nutrition expert, to eat fruit in the morning. I don’t know how long it has been since she had a proper breakfast...
Zhang Ying was also sitting at the dining table at this time, drinking porridge and eating pickles. She originally wanted to complain and find fault, but when the food entered her mouth, she felt so comfortable that she didn't know how to start talking for a moment. Her face showed an unhappy yet enjoying look, which made her even more angry.
"Xiao Ye, you are amazing. You are such a good cook at such a young age. Weiwei is so lucky to be with you." Mr. Lafayette said with a smile while enjoying the delicious meal.
These words made Lin Wei blush, but she was secretly delighted in her heart. When the old lady saw Ye Cui and Lin Wei dating, she opposed it at first, but with Ye Cui's temptation of delicious food during this period, she was obviously no longer so opposed. Now, she indirectly agreed to Ye Cui and Lin Wei being together by saying this.
Ye Chui's heart was naturally filled with joy, and he said with a smile: "Grandma, it's a rare day that Lin Wei has taken a leave to stay at home, so I will prepare a sumptuous vegetarian meal for you at noon so that you can taste it."
"Okay, okay. I'm looking forward to it." The old lady smiled happily. The appetite of the "old foodie" had been completely aroused. She made up her mind that no matter what Zhang Ying said about health preservation, she would have a good meal this time.
Zhang Ying, who was sitting at the side, couldn't remain calm. Her eyes flickered, as if she had come up with some strange idea. She thought to herself, "Let's do this! I wonder how your cooking can satisfy Mr. Buddha!"
During the whole morning, Ye Cui discussed health preservation tips with Mr. Lafayette, and it was easy to tell that he was targeting Zhang Ying.
There is actually nothing wrong with Zhang Ying's health theory, but there is no absolute thing when it comes to health. Some people are suitable for eating certain things, but for other people, it may cause unhealthy bodies. Ye Chui grasped this point. In addition, the old Buddha was particularly concerned about his health. He could easily fool the old Buddha into following his own ideas, which made Zhang Ying a little anxious several times.
In the end, Ye Chui completely denied Zhang Ying's way of keeping healthy.
"Grandma, health preservation is good, but it is not enough to rely on health preservation alone to maintain good health." Ye Chui said with a smile at the end, "In fact, I have always felt that occasional indulgence in food is nothing, and the harm to the body is minimal."
Zhang Ying had completely lost the elegant temperament she had deliberately put on before. She gave people the feeling of a shrew who was scolding people on the street, but she couldn't scold Ye Chui... She said anxiously: "Mr. Ye, I can't agree with your point of view. The way of keeping in good health is also the cultural essence of China that has been passed down for countless years. Do you want to deny it completely?"
"Of course I don't deny it, but health preservation also needs to be done within one's ability. If a person likes to eat delicious food, but restricts her from eating all kinds of delicious food, this will only cause psychological depression, which is bad for the body. A better way is to control diet but not to diet deliberately. In fact, the real way to health preservation is not as simple as dieting. Lu You, a great poet and writer in the Song Dynasty, said in "Records of Zhai Ju". "After eating, walk 57 steps, then unbutton your collar and belt, and sleep less with a low pillow. This is the most urgent thing for health preservation." It means that regular exercise is necessary for health preservation, which is the foundation of health preservation."
Zhang Ying didn't expect Ye Chui to casually bring up the words of these ancient literary masters. She was a little annoyed and said, "How can the things of the ancients be counted?"
"Buddhism is also something from the ancients. Do you mean that you want the old Buddha to stop believing in Buddhism?" Ye Chui asked Zhang Ying with a smile.
"Yes, Zhang Ying, you are wrong to say that. Many things of the ancients are still very reasonable." The old Buddha nodded in agreement. She was very convinced of Ye Chui, and she looked at Ye Chui and said, "Then Xiaoye, what do you think I should do?"
"It's very simple. Don't control your diet deliberately. But exercise more on weekdays, so that your body can live a long life." Ye Chui said with a smile, "Although Miss Zhang's health theory is scientifically based, it is just a theory. Life lies in exercise, and true health still depends on exercise to maintain."
The old man nodded hurriedly: "That's right. Xiaoye, what you said makes a lot of sense..."
Zhang Ying's face was filled with anxiety. If she continued like this, the old Buddha might never trust her again. She looked at the time and saw that it was already eleven o'clock in the morning. She changed the subject and said, "Old Buddha, Mr. Ye, it's almost noon. Should we prepare lunch? To be honest, I am also looking forward to the vegetarian feast you are going to prepare, Ye Chui."
The old Buddha also said quickly: "That's right, Xiaoye listened to you, I must have a good meal at noon today!"
"Okay then, I'll get ready."
Ye Chui smiled and stood up.
In the morning, Lin Zhengdao was busy in his study, while Wu Haimei and Lin Wei stayed with Ye Chui. The foodie mother and daughter witnessed how Ye Chui suppressed Zhang Ying in terms of health preservation. They were indescribably happy. When they saw Ye Chui was about to make lunch, they were even more excited. Lin Wei hurried to Ye Chui and said, "Ye Chui, let me help you."
"Okay." Ye Chui smiled and walked to the kitchen with Lin Wei.
Wu Ma was busy in the kitchen, preparing to help Ye Chui. She was responsible for the Lin family's food and groceries on weekdays. She had already bought some fresh ingredients from a nearby supermarket in the morning. She had already washed everything and put them on the chopping board. When she saw Ye Chui coming over, she immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, this is the dish you asked for. I bought it according to your request."
"The vegetables I want?" Ye Chui was stunned. "When did I ask you to buy vegetables?"
"Miss Zhang said that this morning..." Aunt Wu asked doubtfully.
“These vegetables!” Lin Wei exclaimed, “Carrots, cucumbers, and broccoli… these are the things grandma hates to eat the most!”
Ye Chui was stunned for a moment, then realized Zhang Ying's plan. When he turned to look at the living room, Zhang Ying was looking at him with a sneer, seeming very proud. Using ingredients that the old lady doesn't like to eat, let's see how you can make a dish that satisfies her! (~^~)
