Border Cook

Chapter 570: Gaining Weight in Autumn

Xia Mingyue even prepared a lot of other things, waiting to bring them to the military camp when Lu Qiyan or Xia Yunji came back next time.

Whether you brew it with hot water or boil it in a clay pot, it can be a rare and comfortable enjoyment in your busy life.

Of course, hot drinks alone are not enough, you need some snacks that can go with the hot drinks to complement them.

Therefore, peanut butter made from peanuts, flour, eggs, etc. are used to make crispy and delicious peanut cookies; rice flour and glutinous rice flour are used to make soft and delicious sponge cakes with a strong fragrance; water chestnut flour and osmanthus syrup unique to late autumn are used to make soft, chewy and chewy water chestnut and osmanthus cakes that you will never get tired of eating...

Xia Mingyue was happily busy with these things, and everyone was enjoying the meal as well.

Today, I will use snow pear tea with water chestnut and osmanthus cake. Tomorrow, I will use white fungus soup with sponge cake. The day after tomorrow, I will use chrysanthemum and lotus leaf tea with peanut crisps. The day after tomorrow, I will use fermented rice dumpling soup with radish cake...

If you pair these two together every day, you can have them for dozens of days without repeating yourself!
Not to mention that in addition to these soups, teas, and snacks, Xia Mingyue would also make some warming delicacies from time to time, which she would cook in steaming casseroles.

Today is a slightly spicy, soft and tasty ribs and corn casserole. Tomorrow is a fresh and delicious casserole with garlic sauce to enhance the flavor. I wish I could have a whole pot of garlic vermicelli, fish and shrimp casserole. The day after tomorrow is a fried crispy pork casserole with bean curd, fungus, and green vegetables. It is sour and spicy...

I can’t finish it, I can’t finish it at all!
No repetition, no repetition at all!
It’s so delicious. It’s so delicious!

But while enjoying all kinds of delicious food, everyone faced a rather embarrassing problem.

The autumn and winter clothes that were originally made according to my previous body shape and size now feel too tight in the sleeves, shoulders, or waist.

The most exaggerated case was Qingju, who didn't have any clothes that fit her at the moment. She had to borrow clothes from Zhuang Cui, who was taller than her. She then did needlework by candlelight at night to make a set of clothes for herself as quickly as possible.

As for the others, they have been busy making new clothes in the past two days so that they can be more comfortable when wearing them and avoid embarrassing situations like Mao Sanli, who made a "crackling" sound under his armpit when he raised his hand.

However, as the new clothes were being made, everyone sighed.

If I continue to gain weight at this rate, I will have to make new clothes every season, which is not only a huge expense, but if I keep going like this, won’t I really become a ball?
But having said that...

Putting on weight in autumn is a very common thing as the weather is getting colder and colder, so you don't need to worry too much about it!
After the winter, the weather gradually becomes warmer and you will eat less. When it comes to midsummer, you may not be able to eat all day long. Then you will naturally lose weight!

Everyone comforted themselves in this way.

Only Fan Jinglan tilted her head and thought for a long time, then looked up at Ying'er, "I remember that we arrived at the border around the Dragon Boat Festival this year."

"Yes." Ying'er nodded. "Why did you suddenly ask about this, Miss?"

Fan Jinglan did not answer this question, but asked in return, "How was my diet at that time, and how was my appetite when I ate?"

How's your appetite when you eat?

"At that time, the young lady went to the military camp. After returning, she bought the house diagonally opposite Lady Xia's house, and then she ate at Lady Xia's house every day..."

After Ying'er recalled the past, she answered truthfully, "Mrs. Xia's cooking skills are excellent. The food she made is delicious. Even when Mrs. Xia didn't cook it herself, Yinqiao and Mrs. Lu also learned a lot from her, so the young ladies enjoyed the food very much."

She ate happily, that is to say, she ate a lot. Yes, she remembered that the Guilin rice noodles made by Lady Xia at that time were chewy and smooth, with a wonderful taste. Even the pot-roasted pork on top was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, so delicious that she ate three bowls in one go.

Therefore, the saying that you can lose weight by losing your appetite when the weather is hot is all false!
fake!

As long as there are delicious meals, it is impossible to lose weight at any time!
Fan Jinglan suddenly felt a little depressed, and immediately thought of reducing her food intake in order to stop gaining weight.

But at dinner time, Fan Jinglan fell silent again.

Because dinner was pot stickers with mushroom, black fungus and meat filling.

Mushrooms and black fungus are extremely fresh and fragrant, paired with tender and juicy meat filling, and topped with a thin, crispy pot sticker skin. It is so crispy, delicious and tasty when you take a bite.

The soup is hot and sour soup, which is spicy like pepper. It is appetizing and delicious, and you won’t feel that it is untrue. Instead, you will feel very comfortable and your appetite will be stimulated.

After eating a few pot stickers and drinking half a bowl of hot and sour soup, Fan Jinglan hesitated for a long time, and went through a very cruel struggle in her heart, and finally made up her mind.

In life, eight out of ten things are not as we wish.

In other words, there are many things that are difficult for people to achieve as they wish, and these are all God's will and people have no choice.

Since it is difficult to resist so many disappointments, there are very few things we can choose from. Now there are things that can make us satisfied and happy, why do we have to be so twisted and make ourselves uncomfortable?

Just keep eating!
Gaining weight or something...it doesn't matter!

Fan Jinglan figured this out and no longer cared about anything. She just put the pot stickers one by one in the bowl in front of her, ordered another bowl of hot and sour soup, and continued to eat it happily.

Take a bite of pot stickers and a sip of hot and sour soup. Enjoy the joys of life in time!

Fan Jinglan squinted her eyes comfortably.

The days soon came to the end of September, the weather was getting colder day by day, and the farmers began another round of busy work, turning the soil, leveling the ground, and planting winter wheat.

The Wufu workshop was also much busier than before.

Firstly, with the transition from autumn to winter, the variety of vegetables in the fields becomes fewer, and more calories are needed in winter. Tofu, which has nutritional value comparable to meat and is suitable for all ages, has become one of the favorite foods among people.

Secondly, Wu Fu Workshop's five-spice dried tofu, thousand-layer tofu, vegetarian chicken, bean curd sheets and other items are easier to store in cold weather. In addition, Wu Fu Workshop's reputation is far-reaching, so more and more people come to purchase goods.

Wufu Workshop was doing good business and needed a lot of manpower, so naturally it could accommodate many more refugees than before.

There was no need to resettle all the refugees. Each family only needed to have one strong laborer working in the workshop, and the money earned would be enough for the family's food and drink. In addition, the Wufu Workshop's move to sell tofu dregs at a low price was enough to allow the refugees and poor people in Changzhou City to spend the winter in peace.

The night before yesterday, after I finished typing, I suddenly couldn't stand up from the chair. I felt like my waist was broken. I went to the hospital to see a doctor, who said it was lumbar muscle strain. I should be careful not to sit for long periods of time in the future and stretch my back muscles more. I have been in so much pain these past two days that I can't sleep well at night. I feel sore when I bend over. I have to hold on to the table when I stand up from a stool. I feel like I am completely useless... At such a young age, I already have an occupational disease. I have to plan my typing time reasonably in the future and not sit for long periods of time. My dears, you should also pay attention to proper exercise and take care of your health~
