289: Chapter 14 Ho Cooking 289: Chapter 14 Ho Cooking The ingredients were all ready to go, and upon hearing Shen Chi say that Lin Xiaoguai wanted to eat beef stew, Luo Yufang didn’t hesitate and began to make it right away.
However, in the end, Lin Xiaoguai still couldn’t eat much, after just a few spoons of soup, she felt a wave of nausea and was too frightened to make any movents.
Her expression was very obvious, and Luo Yufang beca anxious imdiately, “I deliberately reduced the amount of beef and there’s not even a bit of oil, is that still not okay?”
Shen Chi quickly poured a cup of brewed ginger tea into Lin Xiaoguai’s hands, and seeing her complexion ease after taking a couple of sips, he let out a sigh of relief.
“Grandma, this is already pretty good, last ti when my elder sister made chicken soup and brought it over in a thermos, Wanwan vomited after only one sip, and this ti she’s managed to drink several sips,” he turned back and said reassuringly.
But Luo Yufang didn’t feel reassured at all, her brow furrowed, “This won’t do, if it continues like this, not only will the adult not hold up, but the child will be in danger as well.”
“How about making so fernted rice?” At this mont, Shen Mincheng spoke up.
Everyone turned their attention to him, and he touched his nose, “I’ve heard that so pregnant won don’t like sour or spicy but love fernted rice.”
“That’s true,” Luo Yufang pondered, “I rember Yuan San Niang from the village who got married off loved to eat fernted rice during her pregnancy.”
Shen Zhangming said worriedly, “Fernted rice is cheap in the countryside, but where do we get it now?”
“We have so at ho,” Shen Chi quickly spoke up, “Wanwan brews wine every year, she just brewed a vat last month, and there’s a big pot of fernted rice that hasn’t been touched.”
“Alright then, I’ll make so for Wanwan tonight,” Luo Yufang declared spiritedly.
“Grandma, you all go eat your al, the dishes are getting cold,” Lin Xiaoguai couldn’t get out of bed, so the elders were all gathered in the room to watch her eat, which is why she said this.
“Then, Chi, you stay with Wanwan, we’ll co back after eating.”
With just the two of them left in the room, Shen Chi started to eat, and as he ate, he would occasionally feed sothing to Lin Xiaoguai.
Although it was a struggle for her, she didn’t vomit, but she didn’t eat much either.
“Yesterday, the Chang family made sweet dumplings, and I brought so back and put them in the fridge, I’ll ask grandma to make you so fernted rice sweet dumplings tonight,” Shen Chi said, finishing his al and tidying up the bowls and chopsticks, then sitting with Lin Xiaoguai to chat.
“What fillings do they have?” Lin Xiaoguai asked cooperatively.
“There’s red bean paste and sesa, which do you want?” Shen Chi asked as he peeled an orange, breaking off a slice and putting it in her mouth.
“Let’s go with sesa,” Lin Xiaoguai replied as she ate the orange.
“Also, the pogranates in the yard are ripe, I’ll pick them later with Little Niangao, and we can juice them for you,” Shen Chi said, handing her so honey water after she finished the orange.
“Good.
We can’t finish all those pogranates anyway, take so to big brother, big sister, Xiao i, and Huihui,” Lin Xiaoguai said with a light laugh.
“Don’t worry about that, I’ll take care of it,” Shen Chi said, smoothing her hair with his hand.
“I know,” Lin Xiaoguai smiled lightly, “Doesn’t grandpa love sweets?
I made a lot of nougat last ti, find so for grandpa, you and Little Niangao both said it’s too sweet.”
Despite his usual silent and stable deanor, Shen Zhangming actually had a sweet tooth and never refused anything sweet.
“Okay.”
“Also, I’ve sun-dried quite a bit of radish, don’t forget to tell grandma, she likes to have it with porridge,” Lin Xiaoguai, after living together for so long, was very familiar with the two elders’ preferences.
“I won’t forget,” Shen Chi replied, taking the glass cup she handed him and placing it properly before looking up and saying, “I saw so children eating longan last ti, there must be so for sale outside, I’ll go out later and buy so for you.”
“I don’t like that, you always do, you should eat more,” Lin Xiaoguai replied softly.
“No, I’ve heard that longan is nutritious, you should eat more of it, it’s good for both you and the child,” Shen Chi insisted this ti.
“Alright,” Lin Xiaoguai was easygoing.
Shen Chi, happy with her response, kissed her cheek and continued, “Also, I heard that they’re selling beef jerky outside now, and it’s not at all gay, shall I buy so for you?
It’s not good for your health not to eat any at.”
“Okay, I’ll listen to you,” Lin Xiaoguai nodded.
…
“The photos from Little Niangao’s school trip should be developed by now, I’ll go pick them up from the photo studio later…” Shen Chi’s words trailed off as he realized Lin Xiaoguai had fallen asleep.
He quickly stopped talking, waited a mont to make sure she was sound asleep, then carefully laid her down and covered her with the blanket.
Picking up the bowls and chopsticks placed aside, he tiptoed out of the room.
