The medicine of rebirth

Chapter 31 Lean Meat Porridge

After washing the rice and adding water, Mrs. Zhao put it aside. She took off the lean pork hanging from the air vent and wrapped it tightly with basil, washed it, cut it into slices, and then chopped it into fine powder. Mrs. Zhao just Add an appropriate amount of water to the rice and pour it into the pot, and Aunt Zhu rushed into the kitchen, "It's from Dalang's family, your Xizi told you to pick off the vegetables and shallots, chop them up and save them for the porridge to cook."

It was also the first time Aunt Zhu had heard of this method, so she was inevitably not curious. Seeing Mrs. Zhao cook so much porridge, she smiled embarrassedly but did not speak. Mrs. Zhao looked at Aunt Zhu and smiled, and put her wet hand on the apron. "Then you're here to show me the pot, I'll pick some up, this kid just eats some weird stuff, I'll show you a joke, sister-in-law Zhu."

Aunt Zhu quickly waved her hand, "Look at what you said, go get busy, I'll watch over here."

Since Ning Chen couldn't wake up for a while, Su Wen was worried about Su Banxi's foot injury, so he couldn't sit still, so he got up and walked to Su Banxi's door and knocked on it. After getting permission, he opened the door and went in. The big oil lamp was flickering. As if it would go out in the next moment, Su Banxi blocked it with his hand in time and waited for the flame of the oil lamp to stabilize before withdrawing his hand. He concentrated on applying the dark green herbal medicine in his hand to the swollen ankle, and wrapped it with a two-inch wide cloth strip. After the ankle was fixed, he raised his head and looked at Su Wen, who hesitated to speak, and couldn't help laughing: "I'm fine, besides, I didn't learn medicine from my master for nothing. My ankle just looks serious. In fact, you will be fine after a few days of rest, how is Ning Chen?"

Su Wen was discouraged, pulled his hair, and said in a weak tone, "Next time, don't go to the mountain alone. I will go with you. Ning Chen hasn't woken up yet." Su Wen paused, "Sister, Ning Chen, he..." The words he wanted to say disappeared when he met Su Banxi's smiling eyes, and Su Wen sat on a long stool under the window, feeling a little helpless.

"Ning Chen is just a little mentally ill, a little stupid and a little crazy, but what does that mean, if it wasn't for him, I still wouldn't be able to come back now." But it was also because of him that she fell off the grass slope and returned home in a daze. She sprained her ankle, but seeing Su Wen's worried look, she didn't intend to tell the reason.

Su Wen opened his mouth, and finally choked out a sentence: "Don't think too much, I didn't say how Ning Chen is, but sister, you should have less contact with Ning Chen in the future, and his family is not easy to get along with."

As for why it was difficult to get along with each other, Su Wen didn't say anything, and Su Banxi naturally didn't ask, because she didn't think as far as Su Wen.

Nodding without pressure, Su Banxi drove Su Wen back to guard Ning Chen, lest he feel uncomfortable, while she sat on the kang and thought about what she just said to Aunt Zhu. There are different effects, but this era is not as industrially developed as the later generations. Everything is handmade. If toothpaste is made, it will probably be exhausted.

Put the minced meat in the pot, wait until the minced meat is boiled and the rice porridge is thick, Zhao will sprinkle the chopped greens and scallions into the lean meat porridge, white, light red and green complement each other, look It whets the appetite, the aroma of pork, the sticky and warm feeling of rice porridge, and the unique taste of green vegetables and shallots. After eating, Aunt Zhu swallowed her saliva and said something really delicious.

Mrs. Zhao deftly served a bowl to Aunt Zhu. Aunt Zhu blushed but took it politely. She took a sip regardless of the heat. The taste of the pork was hot but the chewiness of the pork and the sticky rice porridge left a deep impression on her lips and teeth. Xiang, Mrs. Zhao was a little stunned watching, unable to laugh or cry, said: "Sister-in-law Zhu, drink slowly, no one will snatch it from you, be careful to burn your mouth."

Aunt Zhu wiped her mouth, "It's okay, it won't burn me, Dalang hasn't eaten yet, you can bring it to him quickly, I'll send a bowl to that girl Xizi, I don't know if Ning Chen has woken up. " Immediately afterwards, she muttered something that Mrs. Zhao didn't hear, but even if she did, she just smiled.

I don't know what Ning Chen dreamed about. His sleeping body suddenly twitched. His handsome and childish face was covered with beads of sweat. He bit his lips and began to sob. His complexion was even uglier than before he passed out. Wen messed up his hands and feet, patted Ning Chen's face in an attempt to wake him up, but was slapped away by Ning Chen who was waving his hands indiscriminately, causing a sharp pain in the back of his hand, Su Wen grinned, and finally had no choice but to call Su Banxi over.

"Ning Chen, Ning Chen, wake up, it's a nightmare, isn't it real?" Su Banxi grabbed Ning Chen's wrist and clasped his veins to relieve his strength, took the towel handed over by Mrs. Zhao and wiped it off. The sweat on his face, Ning Chen woke up slowly, the sweat on his pale face was carefully wiped off by Su Banxi, the color of his lips gradually faded to white and weak, his eyes were innocent and dazed, only when the focus gradually brought Su Banxi's face into his eyes from a silly smile.

"Xixi." The voice was full of weakness and obvious joy, causing Su Banxi's hand to stop, and then he let go of Ning Chen's pulse gate, and the back of his hand tried the temperature between Ning Chen's forehead, which was scalding hot , "I have a fever, drink some porridge later and have a good sleep. I will prescribe a medicine for you tomorrow. Do you still feel uncomfortable now?"

Su Wen looked at Su Banxi's natural and intimate behavior, but when Nunuzui wanted to say something, he was grabbed by Mrs. Zhao beside him. Seeing Su Wen who was full of doubts, he shook his head, and told Su Banxi to go to the kitchen to give Ning Su Banxi didn't notice the small movements between Zhao Shi and Su Wen when serving the lean meat porridge in the morning, so she nodded and soaked the towel in the water again, took it out, wrung it out, folded it up and put it on Ning Chen's forehead.

"Don't move around, it's a pity that there is no ice pack, otherwise the effect will be better, Ning Chen, is there anything uncomfortable for you now?" Su Banxi patted Ning Chen's restless hand, and asked a second time.

Ning Chen wanted to shake his head, but the coldness on his forehead made him dare not move. He glanced at Su Banxi carefully, his cheeks were flushed, and he pointed to his stomach, and there was a sound of drumming, which made Su Banxi laugh, and raised his hand to touch it without thinking. Ning Chen's head, "Is there no other discomfort besides being hungry? For example, where does it hurt?"

Ning Chen was silent for a while after hearing the words, "No, how is your foot, Xixi? Is it still hurting? I blame Chenchen for causing Xixi to fall." Ning Chen wanted to struggle to sit up and look at it. Su Banxi's sprained ankle was pushed back by Su Banxi.

"I'm fine, just lie down obediently and don't move around." While speaking, Su Wen came in with moderately hot and cold lean meat porridge, and asked Ning Chen about the problems that Ning Chen should pay attention to, and learned that Ning Chen just had a fever and nothing else Big problem, Su Banxi was driven back to rest by Su Wen, and Mrs. Zhao helped Su Banxi go back. In just a few steps, Su Banxi was keenly aware of Zhao's emotional changes, tilted her head, and did not speak in the end.

Mrs. Zhao looked at Su Banxi's pretty side face and sighed in her heart, "Girl, mother knows you have a good heart. To be honest, your brother and I don't have any opinions on that poor child Ning Chen. You have a sense of proportion when you grow up, mother." I won't let you go. Many people must have seen Ning Chen coming back with you behind his back today, and I don't know what they will spread. The matter with your second uncle's family has not been resolved yet, and now it is happening again. "
