Chapter 25: Take care of it
When he was first admitted to the hospital, Mu Xiu was not familiar with the environment, so he went to the hospital canteen to buy food, and later Mu Xiu rented a small canteen and began to try to make some delicious food, but he didn't expect to attract Lu Niandong as soon as he did it, and now he has begun to take care of Lu Niandong's three meals a day.
"Mu Xiu, what delicious food did you buy today." Sister Kang in the cafeteria greeted with a smile.
"Bought fish and pork belly." Mu Xiu said with a smile, the girl's voice was soft and sweet.
"Improving your life today? That's a lot of money, right? Sister Kang smacked her lips.
Mu Xiu smiled back and walked to her stove.
Mu Xiu picked up the pot quickly, first went to the pressurized water well outside, rolled a pot full of water, brought it to the stove, scooped two bowls of rice, washed it, boiled a pot of water, and began to steam the rice.
Mu Xiu took out a stainless steel basin again, returned to the well, and began to wash the fish and pork belly with his hands and feet, and drained the water together.
Then wash the shallots, winter melon, potatoes and ginger, peel a few garlic and bring them to the kitchen.
At this time, the aroma of rice was already emitted in the pot, and after looking at the time, it was almost ready, Lu Niandong was old, and generally older people like to eat glutinous and soft rice, so Mu Xiu put a little more water.
Mu Xiu put the fish on the plate, cut the ginger shreds and shallots, and placed them on both sides of the fish, after finishing the arrangement, she looked around, it was still early, no one came to make lunch, she took out the green tea that had been prepared a long time ago, brewed it, and then poured it on the fish's body shallowly, and then it was on the basket and steamed.
After more than ten minutes, the fish was steamed, the rice was also steamed, Mu Xiu chose a tank from the several jars of soy sauce in the space, dug some with a spoon, and dripped onto the fish, and suddenly the fish meat exuded a rich fragrance.
Mu Xiu took the pot down and began to cook the braised pork, and she specially put a few potatoes. The braised pork stewed over a low fire, and the potatoes simmered in oil, are oily and fragrant.
After finishing the meal, Mu Xiu first cleaned up the set of kitchenware in the small canteen, and was about to put the prepared food in the insulated box to deliver the meal.
This insulated box was given to her by Lu Yuan last night, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to buy it on the market, and then went to Grandpa Lu's ward first with the lunch box.
"Oh, girl, what day is today, doing such a sumptuous job! This meat is such a big plate! It's really fragrant. The old woman Mu Xiu met on the first day she came to the small canteen, she also came to the small canteen at this time, she looked at the dishes made by Mu Xiu, smelled the fragrance, and couldn't help but swallow her saliva secretly.
"Grandma, come and try my handiwork." Mu Xiu picked up a few pieces of meat and put them in the old grandmother's empty bowl.
"Hey, girl, this is a precious thing, I can't help it, I'll just eat a piece and taste it." The old grandmother hurriedly stopped Mu Xiu's hand holding the meat.
"It's okay, grandma, you're eating, I'll go deliver the food first." After Mu Xiu finished speaking, he took the packed food and went to deliver it.
Grandpa Lu lived in a single room, and when Mu Xiu knocked on the door and went in, he was listening to the radio broadcast.
"Mu Xiu, you're finally here, I'm hungry." Lu Niandong patted his stomach and said exaggeratedly.
"Grandpa Lu, have you taken insulin? You can only eat after fighting. Mu Xiu knew the treatment process for diabetes, and she couldn't help but remind her.
"You wait for me here, I'll go to the nurse's station and ask Xiao Zhao to come over for injections." Lu Niandong really hadn't taken insulin yet, he stood up and walked out of the ward quickly.
Mu Xiu was amused in his heart, and couldn't help but whisper: "Grandpa Lu, go slowly, no one will rob you of ......"
"Xiao Zhao, give me insulin first." Lu Niandong greeted the nurse who was dispensing medicine.
"Old chief, it's only 12 o'clock, and it's time for lunch! You must remember to avoid your mouth, don't eat sweets, eat less staple foods, and don't eat greasy ......" Nurse Xiao Zhao instructed on her lips, took out the insulin in her hand, disinfected it, drew a good dose with a needle, put it in the treatment tray, picked it up, and walked into his room with Lu Niandong.
"It's so delicious, what's for lunch?" As soon as Nurse Xiao Zhao entered the door, she smelled the smell of food, and then saw Mu Xiu putting the food on the table.
"At noon, I made steamed fish and winter melon soup." Mu Xiu said with a smile.
"Yes, the old chief should eat more light." Nurse Xiao Zhao nodded.
"Alas, I hate eating fish the most, Xiu, you ......" Lu Niandong frowned when he heard Mu Xiu make fish, and his face drooped directly.
"Come, show your belly." Nurse Xiao Zhao disinfected Lu Niandong with a cotton swab soaked in iodine, then deiodized it with a cotton swab soaked in alcohol, and finally picked up the needle and injected insulin subcutaneously.
Soon, the injection was completed.
"Wait 5 minutes before eating." After Nurse Xiao Zhao finished admonishing her, she left.
"Wait ten minutes, I don't even want to eat." Lu Niandong said in a low voice.
Mu Xiu couldn't help laughing, the old is back to small, the old is back to small, this Grandpa Lu is really like a child.
"Grandpa Lu, you try the fish I made first, and then decide whether to eat it or not."
"The fish is a taste again, a smell of earth, I don't like to eat it." Lu Niandong said depressedly.
"Okay, it's five minutes coming, Grandpa Lu, eat it while it's hot, otherwise after this insulin is shot, if you don't eat, you will be dizzy." Mu Xiu urged.
Lu Niandong sat down helplessly, reluctantly picked up the chopsticks, casually picked up a piece of fish meat, and put it in his mouth, only to see him pause slightly, followed by his eyes lit up, and then swallowed quickly, stretched out the chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish meat, and put it in his mouth again.
In this way, the chopsticks flew up and down, and after a while, a grass carp of more than 2 catties was eaten by him, and a small bowl of rice was also eaten, and even the bowl of winter melon soup was drunk to the bottom.
"Mu Xiu, how do you make this fish, how is it steamed fish, but the taste is different from what I used to eat." Lu Niandong hiccuped.
"I use soy sauce made from ancient recipes, and of course the taste is different." Mu Xiu said secretly in his heart, but he definitely couldn't say this.
"Maybe it's a different approach, Grandpa Lu, you eat more fish and meat, it's good for your health." Mu Xiu said obediently.
"Okay, I'll eat whatever you do in the future, you little girl, everything is delicious." Lu Niandong laughed, looking in a good mood.
"Grandpa Lu, don't sit there, stand up and move, I should go, go and see how my sister is doing." Mu Xiu cleaned up, picked up the lunch box and stood up.
