Chapter 72 Complementary Food
Li Ran came out of the company at 5 p.m. and did not go home directly, but went to the vegetable market.
He has always felt that the recipes of the two children are really a bit monotonous, and the five-month-old child can eat milk and eggs every day, and occasionally eat some white porridge or something.
Foods such as eggs and porridge are nutritious, but babies will dislike them if they eat them all the time. A few days ago, the two children began to want to eat a little, and this morning in Xishan, the mother ate the egg yolk to the flat position, and the little guy took a bite and resolutely refused to eat.
With such a good appetite, I began to dislike the egg yolk, not to mention An An, who also frowned and didn't want to eat after a few bites. In the end, Li Ran soaked milk powder again and let the two children eat it, but the two children cried hungry as soon as they arrived home at noon.
In the end, the milk powder of this period is not as comprehensive as the milk powder of later generations, and it is far worse than breast milk. Li Ran considered changing the two children to cow's or goat's milk, but gave up after buying it once. First, he was worried that his two children would have a body odor after drinking it all the time. Second, 99% of the current goat's milk and milk have not been inspected and quarantined, and Li Ran will definitely not rest assured that his two babies will eat such a thing with potential safety hazards.
The child's nutrition is not enough, and Li Ran is so anxious that he can't do it. But due to the limitations of the times, he could not buy other ready-made complementary foods for his children. It's not that I don't have money to buy it, but I really have money and nowhere to buy it, so I can only do it in a hurry.
Originally, he had no choice but to continue to feed eggs to his two children every day, and when the children were older, they would eat directly. But when I got off work, I happened to go down with a few vice presidents, chatting with Chen Yun and them in the elevator, and she joked that she would buy a microwave oven in Wanjia's store to bake bread for the children.
When Li Ran held a meeting of all the management last week, he jokingly said that all employees of Wanjia are buying things at Wanjia Electric Appliances, and the sales of Wanjia can be guaranteed, and all management should lead by example. Of course, this is a joke, Wanjia will not be unable to sell things, but rely on internal sales.
He was joking, and Chen Yun was naturally joking when he answered him, but the speaker had no intention, and the listener had a heart. After listening to Chen Yun's words, Li Ran suddenly realized that what he couldn't buy could be made by himself.
When he was in college in his previous life, his family was not particularly wealthy, and the living expenses for him were just enough to live. But as a man, although he doesn't smoke, he can't go in empty-handed when he goes out to watch a movie with his girlfriend, and then come out empty-handed.
Do you want to buy two glasses of juice for five yuan a cup outside the movie theater? Do you want to get one popcorn for seven yuan a cup? Want to go out and do some exercise after watching the movie, are you going to let your girlfriend out of the room money?
On the one hand, machismo attacks, and on the other hand, he doesn't want his women to be wronged, so he not only wants to buy it, but also buys it. Fruit juice, 10 yuan big cup with lid, popcorn, big cup, all kinds of flavors, open a room, you can't go to a small hotel, an hourly room, a motel or something, if you want to go, go to a hotel with stars.
The effect of this is naturally extremely good, and he has never taken it seriously about the swimming bees and butterflies behind his flower-like girlfriend. Throughout college, he and his girlfriend had a rather happy (sexual) life. Of course, if you don't let people suffer, you will naturally have to block the disaster with your wallet.
For a better life, he basically said goodbye to the original four-person black car in the bedroom. Except for attending classes and accompanying his girlfriend, the rest of the time is spent doing odd jobs. Among them is the kitchen assistant in the back kitchen of the hotel where he and his girlfriend often go.
The chef of the hotel is called Liu Han, a very bold Northwest man. It is said that the owner paid a lot of money from his former competitors, so although the hotel is not particularly famous, there are still many people who come to eat the chef's dishes.
Of course, this is not the point, the point is that Li Ran and this uncle are particularly close to each other, and the two often go to drink beer together. The uncle once wanted to introduce his daughter to him, so he usually trained him as a son-in-law and often instructed him to cook.
Out of loyalty to his girlfriend, he has always resolutely refused. (The main reason is that the uncle looks too much, so he really has no illusions about his daughter's appearance.) But this does not prevent him from learning the uncle's craft, the uncle has always thought that Li Ran will definitely fall in love with him as long as he sees his daughter (God knows where he got his confidence), so he also taught carefully, so Li Ran not only learned a good cooking skill, but also took a salary in the hotel.
Although the uncle is a rough Sichuan chef, he may really love his daughter too much, in addition to cooking, he will also make cakes, ice cream, fruit puree and other desserts. As a half-closed disciple, Li Ran is more interested in learning to do these things than learning to cook, after all, it is inconvenient to cook in the girls' dormitory, but it is still okay to make some salads, puddings, vanilla jelly, fruit puree or something.
Then every time in the envious eyes of his roommates, under the cover of his girlfriend and her roommates, he sneaked into the women's dormitory, showed off his cooking skills, and conquered their taste buds. The vast majority of girls love desserts no less than brand-name clothes and bags, and Li Ran only needs to pay more than a dozen yuan for fruits.
From now on, he is busy watching his children at home, and he is busy with the development of Wanjia in the company, so he forgets that he has good cooking skills. Therefore, under Chen Yun's inadvertent reminder, he suddenly thought of a food that was very suitable for his two children, fruit puree.
The lack of vitamins in dairy products is just what fruits can provide, and fruit puree is just right for five or six months old babies to absorb and digest, which is simply too suitable for two children's complementary food.
When he thought of it, he took action, and when he left the company, he went straight to the vegetable market, bought some apples, bananas, pears, and bought two fish by the way. When I came out to the door and saw a sweet potato seller, I bought some sweet potatoes and planned to cook sweet potato porridge for the child.
After returning home and putting down his things, he first went to the garden to check on the dog's injuries. I gave the medicine in the morning, and then I used a splint to fix it, thinking that with the dog's super healing and recovery ability, there should be no problem.
After all, it was a dog that was "picked up", and Li Ran thought about getting a vaccine or something. Although it doesn't look like a dog that can bite people for the time being, it's not afraid of 10,000, just in case, there are many children in the alley, and it's not a trivial matter to bite any of them.
After returning from the garden, I went to the bathroom to wash my hands. After all, he didn't have a dog with his hands just now, and if he didn't wash it, if there were germs, he would hold the child every day, and it would definitely be passed on to the child. After washing, he returned to the living room and asked Chen Hu to accompany the two children to play on the carpet, and he took the herbs to the kitchen to teach her how to make fruit puree. The method of fruit puree is very simple, and Li Ran usually doesn't have much time to make it himself, so it is more convenient to teach vanilla.
The fruit puree made for children is different from that of adults, and the emphasis is on easy absorption and digestion. First, put the peeled and pitted apples in the juicer and puree, then add some water and sugar and put them in the cage drawer to steam for ten or twenty minutes before eating. The method is very simple, Li Ran learned the herb after doing it once.
After it is done, it is not allowed to be eaten by two children. After all, although the nutrition of milk powder is not comprehensive, it is still a staple food, and eating fruit puree first will make the child not want to eat milk, so the gain outweighs the loss.
Li Ran went to feed the child, and replaced Chen Hu to clean up the fish. Later, after eating for the two children, he will cook by himself, see if the cooking skills are still there, and make a sauerkraut fish to eat.
Pingping and An An did not eat egg yolk after eating milk, but ate the complementary food carefully made by their father. The two children who ate "snacks" for the first time in their lives had very cute expressions on their little faces.
After taking a bite, Ping Ping suddenly glanced at his father in a daze, but didn't react. After eating, he suddenly smiled at Li Ran, and then stared at the bowl in Li Ran's hand. An An was even more interesting, after taking a bite, the two little eyes widened, and there was a small expression of disbelief on the little face, as if he had eaten something incredible.
A small bowl of pureed fruit let the two little guys eat it all away, and after that, they licked their mouths unsatisfied, but Li Ran didn't dare to eat more. The two little ones stayed in Xishan Villa for a day and a night yesterday, because they were not used to being a little wilted all the time, and they didn't get better until they got home today.
An An is not used to the unfamiliar environment, simply unaccustomed. But it's purely not free to play, so it's boring. The conditions on the West Mountain side are naturally very good, but Ping Ping is used to crawling around on the carpet at home to play, and when he gets there, he can only climb a little place on the bed, of course, it is uncomfortable to play.
His baby was uncomfortable, and Li Ran was naturally uncomfortable, so he came back today and didn't stay long. Now he is very happy to see the two children eating the "snacks" he made.
