Border Cook

Chapter 547 Pot Pork

After Lu Qiyan left, Yin Lingyou came to the door.

He brought some medicine and told them to Zhuang Cui, asking her to boil it and take it twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, for Xia Mingyue to take.

"I'm already well now, why do I still need to take medicine?" Xia Mingyue felt scared when she thought of the extremely bitter medicine soup she had to take every day these days.

"I've recovered from my illness, but you haven't recovered yet. Don't you still need to take medicine?" Yin Lingyou glanced at Xia Mingyue and said unhappily, "If you keep working day and night like this, you'll have to take medicine many times in the future!"

Xia Mingyue, "..."

"Okay, let's listen to Doctor Yin."

Yin Lingyou's expression softened a little. "This is a health-preserving medicine. I added some nourishing herbs. It's not as bitter as the previous medicine. If you find it really bitter, you can ask Zhuang Cui to add some brown sugar to adjust the taste when boiling it."

"Good medicine tastes bitter but it helps the disease, so it doesn't matter."

Since she wanted to coax him, Xia Mingyue simply lowered her attitude and said softly, "Wait until you finish the medicine in one breath, rinse your mouth, and eat a piece of candied fruit. It won't delay you."

"That's it." Seeing Xia Mingyue being so obedient, Yin Lingyou's expression became more gentle and he reached out to stroke his beard.

"Since my health is not good, I will start practicing boxing and kicking with Zhuang Cui for half an hour every day from tomorrow, which can also be considered as strengthening my body."

"Very good." A smile appeared on Yin Lingyou's face.

Children can be taught!

"Doctor Yin has been working too hard and worrying about my illness and health these days. He is really tired. Let's make sweet and sour pork for him at noon today." Xia Mingyue took the opportunity to suggest.

"Okay!"

Yin Lingyou nodded, but soon felt something was wrong and glanced at Xia Mingyue. "You've only rested for two days, and this old problem has come back again?"

Never change your stubbornness!
I am really puzzled. Normally people would rather stand than sit if they can sit, and would rather sit than lie down. How come there is a diligent person like you who can't stay still for a moment?

"How could that be? I just rested for too long recently and felt a little uncomfortable all over, so I just wanted to move around."

Xia Mingyue smiled rather flatteringly, "Doctor Yin always said that the most important thing for a patient is his mood. I'm a cook, and if I don't touch a pot, spatula or kitchen knife for a day, I'll feel restless and uncomfortable. If I'm not allowed to cook, I'll feel depressed, and that won't be even worse for my health."

"Besides, I suddenly crave sweet and sour pork today, but I can't eat what others make. If I can't eat it, I will feel even more depressed. I'm afraid I will develop other diseases."

"It's better to clear the blockage..."

Yin Lingyou, "..."

What he said actually makes some sense!
After thinking for a moment and weighing the pros and cons, Yin Lingyou reluctantly nodded, "Okay, but we have to make only this one dish."

"Okay, I'll follow Doctor Yin's instructions!"

Xia Mingyue made a face and happily asked Yin Qiao to prepare the pork tenderloin and all the other ingredients, while she tied on an apron and prepared to start cooking.

Yin Lingyou looked at Xia Mingyue's excited expression and shook his head helplessly.

Logically speaking, Xia Mingyue needs to rest more in this situation, but as she said, mood is also very important. It is better to release than to block. The most important thing is to control the degree.

But this degree is the most difficult part.

Yin Lingyou couldn't help but sigh, "I think I'll have to hope Commander Lu comes back more often in the future."

"Of course." Mao Sanli said, "Only when Commander Lu comes back, Lady Xia is willing to put down the work in her hands and spend more time with Commander Lu. Otherwise, no one else's words will work!" "Master, you can't do that either!"

Yin Lingyou, "..."

This last sentence is indeed a bit redundant.

Doesn't he know it?

This apprentice is really getting dumber and dumber!

Yin Lingyou walked away angrily, and before leaving, he glared at Mao Sanli fiercely.

Mao Sanli was stared at in bewilderment, "Master, what's wrong with you? What did I do? Why are you unhappy again? People say that women's hearts are as deep as the sea. In my opinion, this is Master's heart, as deep as the sea!"

Fan Jinglan standing by couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She has always thought that she is very straightforward and often speaks without beating around the bush. But now it seems that some people are no weaker than her!
"What are you laughing at, Madam Fan?" Mao Sanli was surprised and scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.

"I'm not laughing at anything. I just think that Doctor Yin..." Fan Jinglan laughed, "is like a child. He's quite interesting."

interesting?

really?
He didn't see it!

Here, Xia Mingyue was already busy in the kitchen.

Sweet and sour pork, an authentic Northeastern dish in modern society, is large in portion and rich in flavor, reflecting the enthusiasm and mellowness of the Northeastern people.

Cut the tenderloin into large slices, coat them with starch, and fry them in a pan two or three times until the inside of the meat is cooked through and the surface is golden and has a certain hardness.

Leave some oil in the pot and cook shredded green onion, carrot, etc., stir-fry the sauce made of white rice vinegar, sugar, salt and a little soy sauce until fragrant and thick, then pour in the fried pork tenderloin slices, stir-fry evenly so that each piece of pork tenderloin is evenly coated with the sweet and sour sauce, and sprinkle with some chopped coriander after serving.

The pot-fried pork is full of aroma. When you take a bite, you first taste the rich sweet and sour taste of the meat skin, followed by the crispy outer layer of the meat, and finally the soft and tender fragrance of the tenderloin...

A variety of flavors mixed together and burst out in the mouth, like a sudden tornado, sweeping all the taste buds, covering the sky and the earth, and immersing yourself in it.

good to eat!

Xia Mingyue was very satisfied with her cooking skills, and then happily brought out a large plate of sweet and sour pork for everyone to taste.

Sour, sweet, crispy, tender...

The wonderful taste of the sweet and sour pork impressed everyone, and they couldn't help but nod frequently to show their recognition of Xia Mingyue's cooking skills.

The word "delicious" came out of his mouth, but when he remembered Doctor Yin's instructions, he had to swallow it down.

After all, they also felt that what Doctor Yin said made a lot of sense.

Madam Xia is a cook. As a cook, when she sees that the dishes she cooks are popular, she feels happy and will also prepare the next meal with great interest.

In order to prevent Xia Mingyue from being too tired, one should not praise her too much for the food she cooks.

But even if he could control himself from saying words like "delicious" or "yummy", he couldn't control the movement of his hands to pick up the meat.

As a result, the whole plate of sweet and sour pork was eaten up very quickly, and even the sweet and sour sauce, green onion and carrot shreds left at the bottom of the plate were wiped up by Yinqiao with the steamed bun.

Seeing Xia Mingyue smiling with her eyes curved, everyone immediately realized the problem.
