Chapter 334: Stewed Chicken Soup
Lu Zhenjun lay down for a while in the afternoon, talking to the two children for a while, although he was in a happier mood, but his body was injured after all, and he showed fatigue after a while.
At this time, it was already past five o'clock, and several people were about to return to the camp in a hurry.
"Dad, you take good care of your injuries, listen to the doctor's uncle, and get better quickly. When I go back with my second sister, I will take good care of Sanbao and Xiaobao and won't let them cry. ”
"Mom, you have worked hard to take care of your father, don't worry about it at home, we will listen to Grandma Li and Aunt Yang, and we will take care of our younger brothers. You are well with Dad, don't worry about us. ”
"Dabao is really sensible." Li Shuying was also waiting on the side, and she was really relieved to hear Dabao speak like this.
Jiang Ruonan also touched Dabao's head: "Yes, our Mingxuan is a capable big brother, and Xiaofeng'er is also a good daughter who can help her parents share their worries, and she is a good sister to Sanbao and Xiaobao." ”
Dabao, it should be said that it is Lu Mingxuan now, and the whole person laughed happily when he heard his mother's title, and it was rare to show a mouthful of white teeth without being reserved. is mainly because there is a little brother of the same age as Song Xiangdong, which makes the child feel a little ashamed to be called "Dabao" or something.
Jiang Ruonan saw through his careful thinking when he emphasized his big name, and then looked at his smiling face, and patted his arm funny and reluctantly: "Okay, you go back with Grandma and Aunt Xiao Song, be obedient on the way, and listen to Grandma and Aunt Yang when you go back, and tell Sanbao Xiaobao, when Dad is better, I will pick them up to visit Dad." ”
"Okay." Dabao and the second sister nodded obediently, and after saying goodbye to their parents, they followed Li Shuying and the others away.
Jiang Ruonan also felt empty in her stomach at this time, she asked Lu Zhenjun to lie down, and she and Lu Zhifang went to the hospital cafeteria together and came out with porridge.
Lu Zhenjun repeatedly wanted to mention the previous topic, but Jiang Ruonan took it lightly, and after a few times, Lu Zhenjun also felt bored and deflated, so he stopped mentioning it.
The two looked at each other without saying a word, and the night passed quickly.
Early the next morning, when Lu Zhenjun woke up, Jiang Ruonan was no longer in the ward.
Lu Zhifang took the same bowl of porridge to Lu Zhenjun to drink, and when he saw Lu Zhenjun looking left and right, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Second brother, don't look at it, sister-in-law is in the canteen at this time, the doctor said that you want to eat some light and nourishing liquid food, sister-in-law went to the canteen early in the morning to kill chicken and stew chicken soup, the chicken was bought and put in the canteen before, I'm afraid it's only been stewed for a long time, you just have a good rest, wait for noon to drink chicken soup!" ”
"She's in the cafeteria?" Lu Zhenjun exhaled, he didn't know why he felt so scared, as if he was afraid that she would leave him, he didn't see anyone when he woke up in a coma, and he didn't see anyone when he woke up early in the morning, that kind of feeling, which made people feel empty in their hearts.
Lu Zhenjun couldn't help frowning when he thought about it, when did he become like this? Isn't it just a nightmare that you don't remember anything? What if she left him in her dreams? Dreams and reality are opposites, he's a big man who can't heal his injuries well, what do you think about this?
After thinking about it for a while, and gradually calming down, Lu Zhenjun didn't listen to what Lu Zhifang said, wiped his mouth and lay back: "You let her not work too hard, guard me like this, these things can be done in the canteen, let the canteen do it, it's okay to spend some money and tickets, don't run a few times and tire people out." ”
"Yes, yes!" Lu Zhifang put the bowl away, shook his head and laughed, "I know that the second brother feels sorry for your sister-in-law, and your sister-in-law also feels sorry for you!" Besides, how can the canteen masters have the craftsmanship and intentions of their sisters-in-law? I have already persuaded her, sister-in-law, she wants to do it, all for the sake of the second brother, don't think too much, just take care of your injuries and work hard to recover. ”
"Got it, you can do your thing." Lu Zhenjun nodded, knowing that he really couldn't do anything now, so he could only nod helplessly in agreement.
When Lu Zhifang was about to walk out of the door of the ward, he couldn't help but speak: "Little sister, it's good for you to bring me a book next time." ”
What he wanted to say was his books on military theory, which he was usually busy with training and work, and rarely had time to read, but in this century, reading books can be regarded as passing the time, so as not to lie in bed too boring.
But he also thought to himself, if he really brought his books, he would have to go back to the camp and run again, wouldn't it be even more troublesome? So when he came to his lips, he only said that he would bring a book, whatever could pass the time.
"That's not going to work!" Unexpectedly, this small request was directly rejected by Lu Zhifang, "Second brother, the doctors have said that you have to recuperate and recuperate." ”
"What do you mean to recuperate? It's not that if you don't move in bed, you have to rest well, but the exertion is the same as getting out of bed and walking around, and both will affect your recovery. So, for your own sake, and for the sake of not worrying everyone, second brother, you, just lie down in bed honestly and recuperate! ”
Lu Zhenjun originally wanted to argue, but when he heard "don't let everyone worry", he died down.
However, obviously there are still some sequelae after the operation, and Lu Zhenjun himself didn't expect that he really slept all morning while lying on the bed.
It wasn't until Jiang Ruonan came over with a thermos pot of chicken soup and woke him up gently that Lu Zhenjun found that he was already empty and hungry.
After all, he is a big man with a normal appetite, and usually gruel or anything is not his staple food at all, so he was forced to drink a bowl last night and another bowl this morning, even if he was lying in bed and did not exercise much, he was already hungry.
"It's delicious, it's been stewed all morning, isn't it?" Lu Zhenjun was supported to raise the pillow, slowly raised his body, and then couldn't wait to drink a sip of chicken soup.
Jiang Ruonan looked at him and didn't plan to help feed him: "Yes, after simmering all morning, the essence is in the soup, you should drink it while it's hot." ”
"The essence is in the soup, but what about the meat? Isn't it all too firewood to eat? Lu Zhenjun drank a bowl and didn't see a trace of chicken, so he couldn't help but be curious, and glanced at the thermos pot again, but didn't see the chicken, and turned it over with chopsticks, it was really all chicken soup.
Jiang Ruonan looked funny: "It's not enough to drink soup, what kind of meat are you still worried about?" You drink soup now, drink this chicken soup, and drink some porridge before you are full, you can only eat this now. ”
Jiang Ruonan was still taking care of people after surgery for the first time in his previous life and this life, because he had no experience, so he was extra careful, and strictly implemented all medical orders, so even if he knew that Lu Zhenjun had a heavy taste and loved to eat meat and dry rice, he didn't plan to follow him at all.
"Well, it's nice to have soup to drink." Lu Zhenjun hurriedly spoke, took a small sip of chicken soup, and drank another bowl, Jiang Ruonan served it to him again, and he couldn't help but say: "There is no salt in the chicken soup?" I don't feel like it's a good taste......."
"How much more salt do you need? I want to be killed! Jiang Ruonan glanced at him, "If you want to eat heavy oil, heavy salt, big fish and meat, you can get better for me quickly." ”
Lu Zhenjun took the bowl, pursed his mouth, and drank again: "I know and know, I listen to you." ”
"Listen to me...... Isn't this waking up very capable of reading books? I thought you were really good! Jiang Ruonan thought of what Lu Zhifang said, and he was even more angry when he saw Lu Zhenjun.
It's all said that he should recuperate, he has just finished the operation, and he is going to be heavenly, it's really ......
Facing her gaze, Lu Zhenjun could only raise the white flag: "Yes, yes, I was wrong." I'll just say that, don't take it seriously, I'm not resting? …… Hey, you just watched me drink soup, have you eaten by yourself? Would you like to have some drinks? ”
Lu Zhenjun raised his chin at the thermos pot, there is still a big pot!
Jiang Ruonan raised his eyebrows: "I told Zhifang to eat in the cafeteria, it's different from what you eat, and when you drink the soup, I'll go over and eat it, so as not to bring it over and make you drool." Don't be in a daze, you have to drink this pot, two old hens, only to get this pot of soup, it is the essence of boiling for you, and it can't be wasted. ”
On the surface, she smiled, but in fact, she said in her heart that she boiled out this chicken soup by herself, only put a little ginger slices to remove the fishy, added a little salt, and the rest of the condiments were not put at all, even if it was handled well and there was no fishy smell, but it was also tasteless.
Lu Zhenjun could only drink it to comfort himself, this is a little oily and watery, it is much better than the porridge with clear water.
Slowly smashing the taste, he raised his head and praised: "I see that you didn't put any big fragrant star anise, this soup doesn't smell fishy, and the craftsmanship is good!" ”
"If you know it's good, drink it all and raise your body as soon as possible." Jiang Ruonan was not given a strategy by his rhetoric and sugar-coated cannonballs at all, he still looked at it, poured the last soup into a small bowl, and handed it to Lu Zhenjun without hesitation.
Lu Zhenjun drank three bowls, in fact, he was already a little full, but looking at Jiang Ruonan's attitude, he also knew that this last bowl could not escape, so he regarded it as drinking water, and took a few sips and drank it, anyway, it was not fishy, it was warm and hot, and it was quite comfortable to drink.
"Okay, the soup is finished, and I eat this porridge." Jiang Ruonan put away the thermos pot, and then brought out another bowl of porridge, the same clear soup with little water, Lu Zhenjun smiled bitterly, knowing that there was nothing to bargain about, so he drank it in a big gulp.
Seeing that Lu Zhenjun drank all the things she brought, Jiang Ruonan also showed a smile on his face, and while cleaning up, he advised: "You cook for a while before eating, don't be in a hurry to lie down." I went to eat, and I came over after eating. I'll peel apples for you later. ”
For spicy and heavy taste stars, the lack of water in the clear soup is really torture! So Jiang Ruonan felt the need to comfort Lu Zhenjun: "You endure these few days, avoid eating and take care of your body, and I will make up for you whatever you want to eat in the future." ”
"Okay, I got it." Lu Zhenjun knew that she hadn't eaten, and he didn't keep her, "You go to eat, I'll wait for you to come back." ”
Jiang Ruonan went out with a thermos pot and a spoon, Lu Zhifang just opened the door and came in, and when he saw that it was empty, he smiled: "Drink it all?" The second brother is not tasteless? This time, he was obedient. Obviously, she also knows Lu Zhenjun's taste.
"You give me less, can I not know my own body?" When Lu Zhenjun looked at her, he remembered that he made a small report to Jiang Ruonan, and he didn't have a good face for her, "Don't be poor here, go to dinner with your sister-in-law, I'm too lazy to quarrel with you." ”
"Yes, yes, no, no, no. Don't be angry! I'm kidding! Lu Zhifang smiled, "But my sister-in-law's craftsmanship is really good, I didn't put anything, and the soup didn't smell fishy, brother, you are really blessed to meet your sister-in-law, you have to let the canteen do it, and make sure that you drink more uncomfortable." ”
There is no salt, no taste, and it is full of fishy smell, and she will definitely not be able to drink it if she wants to change it anyway. After all, most people have a common problem, the more they can't eat something, the more they want to eat. For example, when you have menstrual cramps, you can't eat spicy food, but you want to eat it even more. At this time, she can't drink this kind of fishy nutrition.
Of course, if her sister-in-law did this, she could still try it.
"Okay, I know that your sister-in-law is good, so you don't talk nonsense and go to dinner." Lu Zhenjun was completely angry, and simply closed his eyes when he said this.
Lu Zhifang also obediently closed his mouth, helped Jiang Ruonan carry the thermos pot, and went to the cafeteria.
The two of them washed the thermos pot first, put it aside to dry, and Lu Zhifang brought out the cold chicken.
Two old hens of more than four pounds, the whole pot, began to stew from six o'clock in the morning, stewed until eleven o'clock at noon, up to six hours, a large pot, stewed only a few bowls of soup, the old hens were also stewed to the shelf, not formed, soft lying on the plate.
"Sister-in-law, this chicken is all boiled and cold, how can you eat it?" The most important thing is that there is no salt and no taste.
Lu Zhifang said, and poked it with chopsticks, and the chicken fell apart as soon as he poked it, and picked one to taste: "It's dry and firewood." ”
The essence is all in the soup, what else can this chicken eat? If you want to let it go to future generations, Jiang Ruonan will not eat such discarded waste materials if he has a good life, and he will not eat such discarded wastes again, but now that the conditions of this era are present, it would be good to have meat to eat, how could he be extravagant and wasteful.
"Tear it into shreds and mix it cold, you can still eat it." Jiang Ruonan said and did it directly, Lu Zhifang also went to fetch food, and the two of them ate cold chicken shreds.
Because the portion was too much, half of it was poured to the master in the cafeteria, and they all said that Jiang Ruonan tasted good.
Then he asked her if the chicken soup was really fishy: "You still made it so complicated before, or did you cook it once before it was stewed, and it was so troublesome, and the soup you cooked for the first time was poured, what a waste......
"It's not chicken soup that was poured out, it's not boiled, it's just a way to wash away the blood." Jiang Ruonan hurriedly explained that she didn't want to be considered extravagant and wasteful by people just cooking food in the cafeteria for the first time.
The aunt still didn't believe it: "How can there be such a bloodshed?" Isn't it true that other people's stewed chicken soup is also stewed directly? ”
"Yes, I know that others also say that boiling water blanches the blood water, and this pot under cold water is boiling foam, so it's not chicken soup?" Another master also spoke.
Jiang Ruonan hurriedly said: "It's different, what I make is stewed chicken soup, purely for hanging soup, I don't put any seasonings, so I have to pay more attention to pressing the fishy, so I have to wash the hen raw materials twice, that is, to flush the blood water, so that the hanging soup can be fragrant and not fishy." I also read it in the book, and it works pretty well when I try it. ”
"That's just as well. The soup was so milky and milky, I smelled it all, and it wasn't fishy at all. On the side, someone who had been staring at Jiang Ruonan making soup couldn't help but nodded, "By the way, Xiao Jiang, you said that you read it in the book, and the book still talks about this?" ”
"Well, there's a golden house in the book...... Come on, come on, eat and eat, it's cold if you don't eat anymore, although this chicken is firewood, it's not delicious when it's cold, everyone hurry up and eat it......"
Lu Zhifang also spoke: "Yes, yes, yes, everyone eats, eat while it's hot." ”
Even so, during a meal, there were still people who kept asking Jiang Ruonan about cooking, obviously knowing her person for a long time.
After finally finishing the meal, Jiang Ruonan felt that the masters in this canteen were more gossipy than the masters in the camp canteen, and there were too many problems and they were not friendly enough.
