Chapter 10: This Winter Has Been a Bit Tough
Lin Yu'an went to visit Lin Ruochen and saw that there were several wooden planks firmly tied to his calves.
"Brother."
"An An is here, are you hungry?"
Lin Yu'an nodded.
"Then let's have dinner first." As soon as Lin Ruochen gave the order, the servants quickly brought the food.
Due to the death of their parents, they need to observe filial piety, and according to custom, they are not allowed to drink alcohol and eat meat, so only two bowls of corn porridge, a few white flour cakes and a plate of pickled white radish are served.
Lin Yu'an's already not very good face became worse.
Before, because she was in a hurry, she didn't pay too much attention to eating, but she didn't think about returning home, and she could only eat these.
Lin Ruochen also frowned.
"Uncle He, An An is weak, so he can't just eat these things."
He Da explained: "In the first year of filial piety, you can't eat meat and need vegetarianism, and you can't have time today, and there are fewer fruits and vegetables that can be eaten in winter, so this meal is a little simpler, but please rest assured, the old slave will go to various villages early tomorrow morning to purchase fresh ingredients and dry goods." ”
Hearing this, Lin Ruochen lowered his head gloomily.
He thought of his parents who had passed away, and his heart was full of grief, and his eyes instantly turned red again.
Because Lin Yu'an doesn't have much affection for her parents, she can't empathize with the death of the Lin family husband and wife, but since she has taken over the body of someone else's daughter, the etiquette that should be observed still has to be observed.
A vegetarian is a vegetarian.
Seeing Lin Ruochen's sad appearance, Lin Yu'an thought about it and patted his hand gently.
Lin Ruochen, who was immersed in grief, immediately came back to his senses, he wiped away the tears on his face, looked up and said to He Da: "Uncle He, you and the nurse should also go to dinner, I will take care of An An." ”
"Yes."
Qing He next to him was stunned.
So what does she do?
But before she could ask, she was dragged away by the nurse.
Lin Ruochen sandwiched a slice of pickled radish with chopsticks into his sister's bowl, although he had no appetite and didn't want to eat, but he couldn't starve his sister, he coaxed in a soft voice: "These foods are simpler, but the taste is still very full, An An eat more." ”
"Hmm."
After the two had dinner, Lin Yu'an went back to the room to rest.
She was sad.
In ancient times, there was no logistics in all directions, and there were no ingredients that could be transported from warm places, so there were few things to eat in winter, and if you were a vegetarian, you would probably only be able to eat radishes and Chinese cabbage.
Why doesn't she have carry-on space?
Isn't that a must-have gold finger for traversers? Is it because she's not the protagonist that she doesn't have an aura?!
After the frustrated Lin Yu'an returned to the room, he immediately smelled a strong smell.
Qing He fanned it with his hand, looking for the source of the taste, "Ah! Miss, it's that bowl of goat's milk, it tastes good when it's cold, I'll help you warm it up. ”
“!!!”
Lin Yu'an felt congested, and only then did he remember that there was still such a bowl of things that had not been solved.
Seeing Qing He turning around with the bowl and preparing to leave, she hurriedly shouted, "Wait! ”
Qing He turned around.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
"This smell is too strong, I, I don't like it very much, or you should drink it." Lin Yu'an looked at Qinghe expectantly.
Qing He immediately shook his head and waved his hand, "No, this was specially given to the young lady by the young master, and I can't drink it." ”
"My brother gave it to me?"
"Hmm."
When he was having dinner just now, Qinghe heard the nurse tell the housekeeper that she wanted to find another milk-producing sheep to come back, because the milk of the goat at home was not much, and the goat's milk was not enough for the young master and the young lady to share.
This bowl was originally the young master's, and he felt sorry for his sister, so he asked the nurse to take it.
When Lin Yu'an heard this, it was not good to say anything more about letting Qinghe drink it.
It's just this smell......
Yes!
She remembered!
When she was looking for materials before, she once watched a video made by others, which said that adding jasmine tea to goat's milk can effectively remove the smell.
But since she came here, she has seen coarse tea, loose tea, end tea, and cake tea, but she has never heard of flower tea, let alone jasmine tea.
"Miss?" Qing He saw that Lin Yu'an was in a daze again, but proposed: "This is the hazelnut sent by the nurse, why don't you eat a little?" I'll be back soon. ”
Lin Yu'an was depressed, and when he heard the word hazelnut, he immediately thought of a method, "Qinghe, when you cook goat's milk later, add some almond slices to it." ”
"Huh?" Qing He was confused by Lin Yu'an's request, but she still nodded and responded: "Okay, how much do you want to add?" ”
Lin Yu'an looked at the remaining goat milk in the bowl, and said hesitantly, "Add three slices." ”
"Okay."
It didn't take long for Qinghe to come back with hot goat milk with a happy face, "Miss is so amazing, after adding almond slices to cook, there is no smell at all!" Then he handed the bowl to Lin Yu'an, "Hurry up and try it!" ”
Lin Yu'an took the bowl and tried it a little.
In fact, the smell is still there, but it is not as heavy as it was at the beginning, and Lin Yu'an began to drink it in small sips.
Qing He saw that she was finally willing to drink, so he breathed a sigh of relief and turned to clean up the bed.
Lin Yu'an saw Qinghe's appearance, and sighed in her heart, it seems that she can't be too picky in the future, otherwise she will have an uneasy conscience if she lets a child who has not graduated from elementary school worry about herself like this.
It's just that this winter is a bit tough!
Alas!
Not only has the matter of the fire kang not been solved, but it is now so difficult to even eat something good.
Lin Yu'an tried hard to think about what could be improved.
Ah, yes!
She thought of a great vegetarian ingredient.
As a food grandmother, in order to attract fans, she has made many series of food videos, including vegetarian series.
In modern times, many people have begun to pay attention to their health, and will choose some specific days to be vegetarian, and when she launched a vegetarian series, she successfully attracted millions of followers who followed her.
One of the most used ingredients is tofu.
As long as there is tofu, there are many changes that can be made even if there is no meat.
But I don't know if there is tofu here.
There was nothing in the memory of the original owner, but in order to be safe, Lin Yu'an asked Qinghe around the corner.
"Something made of beans?" Qinghe frowned suspiciously, and said while making the bed: "The beans are boiled and eaten, but eating too much will make your stomach swollen, I heard that some people eat too much, and as a result... Ahem, if you're not too hungry, you usually won't eat. ”
At dinner just now, the housekeeper and the nurse reminded her not to mention life and death in front of the young lady, so as not to hurt her.
Lin Yu'an continued to ask without giving up.
"Just boiled? Isn't it ground into a pulp? ”
Qing He looked at his young lady in surprise, "Why do you want to grind it into a pulp?" Water can't fill your stomach! ”
“……”
Lin Yu'an was powerless to refute this answer.
She could only sacrifice "heard" Dafa again.
"I've heard from a traveling merchant that beans can actually make a very special food, why don't we give it a try?"
