Chapter 24: Cooking 2

"Mother, this is a diaper for Xiaohua."

"Xiu, where did this come from? It's a pity to make diapers with such a new cloth! Zhou Shuilian touched the brand-new diaper with her hand, feeling distressed.

"This is given by someone else, it's the canteen ......" Mu Xiu lied, anyway, Zhou Shuilian couldn't go to someone to confront him.

Although Mu Xiu didn't finish speaking, Zhou Shuilian understood, and she explained to Mu Xiu with emotion: "Xiu, these are all kind-hearted people, let's remember these kindnesses." ”

"I know, mother, you can rest with your sister first, and I'll go out to do something." Mu Xiu saw that the accompanying mother of bed No. 2 had been eavesdropping on her mother and daughter, and she was very unhappy, so she simply didn't say anything.

Zhou Shuilian thought that Mu Xiu was going to the cafeteria to help again, so she asked her to go quickly.

Mu Xiu turned around and went to Lu Niandong's ward, Lu Niandong had finished eating, was sitting on the edge of the bed reading the newspaper, and when he saw Mu Xiu coming in, he couldn't help but close the newspaper and looked up at Mu Xiu.

"Grandpa Lu, that's the case, why did you get hospitalized?" Mu Xiu heard the conversation between Lu Yuan and Lu Niandong before, and vaguely felt that Lu Niandong seemed to be unable to eat sweets, she guessed that Lu Niandong might be a problem with blood sugar, so she came to ask, and she had a good number in her heart when cooking.

"High blood pressure, diabetes, according to me, these are all minor problems, and the doctor loves to exaggerate and say, if you can't eat this, you can't eat it, it's just a terrible ......" Lu Niandong had a stomach full of dissatisfaction.

Lu Niandong was hospitalized because of diabetes and high blood pressure, July and August are the seasons when all kinds of fruits are ripe, and the elderly are greedy for sweets, and their blood sugar cannot be controlled, and they remain high. At the same time, Lu Niandong is an idle person, and he usually does it, but in the hot summer, his blood pressure rises sharply.

"Grandpa Lu, let's listen to the doctor, the doctor is also for your good." Mu Xiu comforted Lu Niandong.

"Mu Xiu, how is your sister?" Lu Niandong suddenly remembered why Mu Xiu was in the hospital.

"The doctor said it was almost well."

"That's great, and it's not easy for you." Lu Niandong looked at Mu Xiu with some emotion.

"As long as it can be saved, everything is worth it, Grandpa Lu, then I'll go back." Mu Xiu heard what he wanted to know, so he got up and said goodbye.

The next day, Mu Xiu woke up very early, and at night Zhou Shuilian insisted that Mu Xiu sleep on the bed, and she herself slept on the edge of the bed.

Mu Xiu quietly got out of bed at this time, looked at Zhou Shuilian, who was sleeping on the edge of the bed because she was too tired, and couldn't help sighing, this woman has not had a good day.

Mu Xiu woke up Zhou Shuilian and asked her to go to bed, while she closed the door of the ward and walked to the outside of the hospital.

It's just that when Mu Xiu walked out of the ward, he saw from a distance that the mother of the escort of bed No. 2 was talking to a man at the staircase on the left, and also took out a handful of things from his pocket and stuffed them into the man.

Mu Xiu saw that the man was not the father of the child she saw on the first day, and she couldn't help but gossip in her heart, but before she could get closer, she saw the mother who was accompanying the No. 2 bed push the man, and the two of them went to the hospital cafeteria together.

Mu Xiu thought that she still had something to do, and besides, this matter had nothing to do with her, so Mu Xiu walked towards the vegetable market again.

The vegetable market in the provincial capital, although the scale is larger, but there are also a lot of people, Mu Xiu took a general look, and he lined up in the queue to buy fish.

Although Chen Wenhua only entrusted Mu Xiu to cook for her grandfather, Mu Xiu thought of Lu Niandong's kind and kind appearance, so she still decided to add dietary therapy to her diet to assist Grandpa Lu in treating his condition.

Diabetes and high blood pressure This is still rare in this era, and it is a common geriatric disease in later generations, Mu Xiu's mother-in-law not only has high blood pressure diabetes but also high blood lipids, commonly known as three highs, so some precautions in diet, Mu Xiu is familiar with it.

Therefore, Mu Xiu plans to make a steamed tea crucian carp and winter melon soup at noon today, which has the effect of lowering blood sugar and blood pressure.

Fish is a relatively cheap and nutritious meat dish, but because of the many spines, only after the scale is finished to kill the fish, after taking the internal organs, there is not much meat left, so many people would rather come to the middle of the night to line up to buy pork, than come to buy fish.

Mu Xiu quickly bought fish, and she went to buy winter melon pulp and some condiments such as green onions, ginger and garlic.

She wandered around the vegetable market in the past two days and found that although the variety of vegetables in the vegetable market was quite complete, there were many dishes and meats, and there were people lining up in a long line early every morning.

In other words, if a person comes to buy vegetables, maybe he buys pork, he can't line up for eggs, maybe he buys a chicken, and the fresh vegetables over there are already sold.

But this is not difficult for Mu Xiu, after all, there is everything in her space, she comes to the market every day to take a turn, but she is just afraid that when she cooks in the small canteen of the hospital, she will take out something that is not available on the market, which will arouse suspicion.

Mu Xiu took out the food stamp that Chen Wenhua gave her, this is a national food stamp.

The national food stamps are a good thing, Mu Xiu is going to save them, and then use them when she returns to Yingwu Township, and Lu Niandong eats the same thing from the space according to the market price to deduct it.

The difference between national food stamps and local food stamps, local food stamps are issued locally, limited to the purchase of grain at the local level, and limited to grain, the national food stamps are different, the national food stamps can buy grain in any place within the national enclosure, and not only can buy grain, but also buy oil, meat and cloth.

It is said that in the black market, one pound of national food stamps can be exchanged for one city and two taels of local food stamps.

After Mu Xiu walked around the vegetable market, he received all the things he bought today into the space, then covered the small bamboo basket and walked towards the hospital.

For breakfast, thin noodles under the pork rib soup, sprinkled with green onions and coriander, and then a poached egg, Lu Niandong applauded, and Zhou Shuilian, Mu Xiu went to the hospital canteen to buy a rice porridge and steamed buns, put them at the head of the bed, and waited for Zhou Shuilian to wake up and eat.

After everything was arranged, Mu Xiu went to the small canteen, and her mind moved, the fish she bought in the vegetable market just now appeared in the small bamboo basket, as well as winter melon pulp and side dishes, which were used for Lu Niandong to make lunch.

Zhou Shuilian should also increase her nutrition, now that she has the reason to help Lu Niandong cook, she can make some meat dishes for Zhou Shuilian, and she will make a braised pork at noon today, so there is an extra piece of fat and thin pork belly in the small bamboo basket, red and white, which looks very beautiful.
