Ten. White fungus soup
At night, Lingxiu slept on the bed that Shen Yue had made for her and had a beautiful dream about the future.
In the next few days, there were no more or no less incomes every day, Shen Yue did not ask Aunt Liu and Niu Dazhuang to come over to help, they also had their own things to be busy all day long, after seeing Lingxiu's diligence, Aunt Liu and Niu Dazhuang were relieved to go busy with their own affairs, when Niu Dazhuang brought the meat he caught, Shen Yue would also pay him some money, Niu Dazhuang pushed it a few times to no avail and still accepted it.
In the past few days, Xu Yingying has often appeared, every time there is a new dish, she must order it, and sometimes she will bring a copy back to Xu Xiucai and Mrs. Xu to taste, the relationship between Shen Yue and her gradually eased, and they came and went and became friends.
"Shen Yue, I'm here!" At the door, Xu Yingying's voice sounded, and Shen Yue couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.
When they came to the door, there were not only Xu Yingying, but also Xu Xiucai and Mrs. Xu, Xu Yingying and Xu Xiucai were supporting each other left and right, and their faces were a little unsightly.
"Mrs. Xu, what's wrong?" Seeing this, Shen Yue hurriedly asked with concern.
Xu Xiucai's face was worried: "It's okay, it's just infected with some wind cold." ”
Xu Yingying pulled Shen Yue aside: "My mother's cough is terrible, there is blood in the phlegm, and I haven't seen any better after taking several medicines, my mother is unwilling to take any more medicine, saying that she may not live long, and she can't eat anything, my father and I are about to die, only what you have here, she can still eat some, take her out while the weather is good, Shen Yue, you make some light for my mother." Xu Yingying was about to cry when she said that.
Shen Yue frowned slightly, then thought of something, walked up to Xu Xiucai and Mrs. Xu and said, "Master Xu, Mrs. Xu, I just heard Yingying say a rough idea, Mrs. Xu has a long cough with lung deficiency and blood in the sputum. ”
Xu Xiucai's eyes lit up slightly: "Yes, the doctor who prescribes medicine said the same, what can Miss Shen do?" ”
Although Xu Xiucai asked, Shen Yue was just a fourteen-year-old girl, and there must be no way, just a rush to the doctor.
"It's a three-point poison, Mrs. Xu's physique is weak, and she can't absorb it well by taking medicine, so she can choose food supplements, if Master Xu believes me, I can give it a try." Shen Yue said sincerely.
"Daddy, Shen Yue is very powerful, let her try it." Xu Yingying looked at Xu Xiucai and Mrs. Xu eagerly.
"Since Yingying said so, let's try it, I'm tired of Miss Shen." Mrs. Xu said a little weakly.
Shen Yue nodded, they didn't actually believe that she could make Mrs. Xu better, it was just to give Xu Yingying a face, but she would prove it with practical actions.
She asked Lingxiu to greet the guests, and she walked to the cellar, in front of her, there was a basket of fresh white fungus, which was picked in the back mountain before, she took one of them, returned to the stove, washed the white fungus, put it in the pot, then added water, after the water boiled, turn to low heat, add a few red dates and a few rock sugar, and then boil for a quarter of an hour until the soup is thick and the color becomes darker.
She brought a bowl to Mrs. Xu, who smelled the sweetness of the soup in front of her and had a little appetite.
Mrs. Xu held the spoon in her hand, took a bite of white fungus soup, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "What kind of soup is this?" It's so smooth and delicious? ”
Master Xu and Xu Yingying both smiled with relief when they saw this.
"Mrs. Hui, this is white fungus soup, white fungus has the effect of nourishing yin and moistening the lungs and stomach, and it is a good tonic for people who are deficient in yin and fire and are not warmed and nourished by ginseng." Shen Yue said with a smile.
Mrs. Xu nodded, her appetite seemed to improve, and she drank all the white fungus soup in the bowl one bite after another.
"Thank you, Miss Shen, it tastes very good, no wonder the warbler runs to you at two ends in three days." Mrs. Xu joked with a smile, obviously in a much better mood.
Master Xu also ordered some food in Xu Yingying's coquettishness, and was full of praise after eating.
When leaving, Master Xu put a silver ingot in Shen Yue's palm, and Shen Yue was shocked, this silver was full of ten taels, which was much more than she had earned in so many days.
Shen Yue returned the silver to Master Xu: "Master Xu, my meals are clearly priced, I will collect as much as I want, I will not charge a penny less, but I will never charge more, Master Xu should take back the money." ”
A hint of appreciation flashed in Xu Xiucai's eyes: "Miss Shen, Neizi's illness is a major event of the Xu family, and your actions today are to relieve some of the worries in my heart, this is a thank you gift, I hope you can accept it." ”
Shen Yue's attitude was still resolute: "Master Xu, Shen Yue is just a little cook, you and your wife eat well, and next time you come back, it will be the greatest support for me." ”
Seeing this, Xu Xiucai had to take back the silver, pay the food money he should pay, and then leave with his wife and Xu Yingying after thanking him.
On the way back, Mrs. Xu was smiling, much better than before she came: "Miss Shen is very good, Yingying, you can go around more and learn more from Miss Shen." ”
"Got it." Xu Yingying also felt from the bottom of her heart that her friend was a little happier than her own appreciation when she was appreciated by her father.
"Miss Shen is young, but her temperament is very calm and reliable, madam, don't worry about your illness, Miss Shen's food supplement method may be useful." Master Xu said.
Mrs. Xu smiled and shook her head: "Master, I am much calmer now, if I have three long and two short in the future, I hope you treat our daughter well, don't be too sad." Mrs. Xu gave Master Xu a preventive injection in advance, not that she was dissatisfied with Shen Yue, but that Shen Yue was only a half-old child, and she was still immature in the final analysis.
Master Xu's brows furrowed: "Don't talk nonsense, I will definitely find a way to cure you, wait a few days, I will sell the belongings here, and I will take you to the capital to see a doctor." ”
Mrs. Xu's eyes were slightly red, and her heart was full of emotion, she only felt that it was worth it to have Xu Xiucai's husband in this life, but she didn't say it.
Xu Yingying also had red eyes, and snuggled in Mrs. Xu's arms: "Mother, don't talk nonsense, you will live a long life and accompany your daughter for the rest of your life." ”
Mrs. Xu stroked Xu Yingying's hair, her smile was light and shallow, with a hint of sadness.
That night, Mrs. Xu still coughed for a while, Xu Xiucai hurriedly brought her a spittoon and mouthwash water, and waited with all her heart, Mrs. Xu coughed for a while, had no strength, and fell asleep groggily, Xu Xiucai checked the spittoon as usual, but found that there was no blood in the sputum coughed up by Mrs. Xu today, Xu Xiucai was overjoyed, after comforting Mrs. Xu to sleep, he couldn't sleep for a long time, and as soon as the morning dawned, he went to Xinyue Restaurant in person.
