Fairy Li's Health-Nourishing Meal

While Su Ziyang was away giving lectures, Fairy Li was bored at home and kept going to Liuzi's house to learn cooking skills.

When Su Ziyang got home, he found Fairy Li stirring vegetables in the kitchen.

"Zijun, what dish are you making?"

Su Ziyang went over and saw that Fairy Li was cooking porridge.

"I didn't cook. I was researching medicinal cuisine to see how to replenish the body's vital energy."

Fairy Li was holding a piece of ginseng and chopping it with a knife, looking very serious.

"No! Sister! You just chopped up the ginseng that Daoist Jin left us? That was a seventy-year-old wild ginseng! Sister!"

Su Ziyang hadn't noticed what kind of ginseng Fairy Li Fairy Li holding when he spoke, but once Su Ziyang saw it clearly, he let out a loud shout.

"Oh! What's wrong? Can't this be used to make porridge?"

Fairy Li completely ignored Su Ziyang, chopped off another small piece, and threw it into the pot.

"Fine. That's how you squander money. Otherwise, how can you be called a spendthrift?"

Su Ziyang sighed, closed his eyes, and left the kitchen with a heavy heart.

"Su Ziyang! What's wrong with me using a piece of ginseng? You're so stingy. Don't go, come here and keep an eye on this! This is a medicinal diet that my sixth sister and I researched; you need to give us your advice."

Su Ziyang ran away, thinking "out of sight, out of mind," but was "caught" back by Fairy Li.

"Look, this is two jin of mutton."

Fairy Li pointed to the meat on the cutting board, then to the ginseng. "I used 15g of ginseng."

After saying that, he picked up another bag from the ground. "These past few years, I've had 15g of Poria cocos, one pound of dates, and 15g of Astragalus membranaceus."

Su Ziyang was heartbroken over the seventy-year-old ginseng and had no interest in listening to Fairy Li's explanation; he just stared blankly as Fairy Li performed the procedure.

Fairy Li bought a piece of mutton that was all lean meat and no skin.

The mutton was divided into two pieces, one weighing 1.6 jin and the other 4 liang.

Su Ziyang watched as Fairy Li cut the four-ounce piece into small cubes.

Then I divided the 1.6 jin (approximately 0.8 kg) into several large pieces, and put it in a pot with astragalus, ginseng, and poria cocos to stew.

"Susu, you look unhappy."

After Fairy Li finished all this, she turned around and saw Su Ziyang staring at her blankly.

Why do you look unhappy?

Fairy Li put down the kitchen knife and looked at Su Ziyang with considerable dissatisfaction.

"I'm a little heartbroken?"

Su Ziyang murmured softly.

"Huh? You're not feeling well? Where does it hurt? Wait a minute, aren't you supposed to be invincible? What's with all this heartache? You're worried about that ginseng, aren't you! You, Su Ziyang!"

At first, Fairy Li didn't react, and quickly began to examine Su Ziyang from head to toe.

After touching Su Ziyang's muscular physique, Fairy Li turned around and slapped Su Ziyang across the face.

"Look at you, so stingy! You're worried about wasting ginseng, aren't you? You just watch how they stew ginseng with mutton! Humph! I'll teach you to be so stingy!!!"

And so, the person who cooked the porridge changed from Fairy Li to Su Ziyang.

Two hours later, the large chunks of mutton were thoroughly cooked, and a rich aroma filled the entire kitchen.

"Huh? Zijun, the stew is done, what do we do with it!"

Su Ziyang poked the mutton and felt it was a bit overcooked.

"After simmering for another half hour, take the meat out!"

Fairy Li shouted in the living room, but after shouting, Fairy Li was clearly worried and quickly ran to the kitchen.

Half an hour later, Fairy Li did something that made Su Ziyang even more heartbroken.

Fairy Li scooped out all the stewed meat and medicinal residue and threw them into the trash can.

"Throw... throw it away."

Su Ziyang's lips twitched as he looked at the steaming pieces of mutton in the trash can, really wanting to fish them out and eat them.

"Hmm. I threw it away. All the nutrients had already gone into the soup. And the meat was inedible anyway, so I threw it away."

Fairy Li showed no remorse whatsoever. She simply said something indifferently, then began rinsing the rice. After rinsing two handfuls of rice clean, she put them into the pot where she had just stewed the meat.

Su Ziyang was still a little unwilling, so when Fairy Li wasn't paying attention, Su Ziyang pinched a piece of meat off the trash can.

I took a bite.

"Te~"

The meat was tough and dry, with no flavor whatsoever, so Su Ziyang quickly spat it out.

Seeing Su Ziyang's stinginess, Fairy Li kicked Su Ziyang in anger. "Get out! Look at you! Get out!"

Su Ziyang was reluctant to leave, and just stood there watching to see what delicious food Fairy Li could make, wondering what was so magical about this pot of soup.

"Zijun, you can't throw away the rice too, can you?"

What are you going to do with this piece of minced meat?

How do you eat this?

What will happen if I eat it?

Su Ziyang, "stimulated," began to become a chatterbox, constantly babbling to Fairy Li. In the end, Su Ziyang kicked Fairy Li out of the kitchen.

Then Su Ziyang started peeking into the kitchen from the doorway.

After the rice was cooked, Fairy Li put the chopped mutton into it.

The mutton cooked very quickly. After it boiled for a while, Fairy Li turned off the heat and started adding some salt and pepper.

"Alright, stop looking. Have something to eat!"

After Fairy Li ladled the porridge into the pot, she placed it on the dining table.

Before the two could sit down, they heard a knock on the door.

"Master!"

When Su Ziyang opened the door, he saw Mr. Mengfei he hadn't seen for two weeks.

"Please have a seat, sir. I've made some medicinal porridge. Please try it!"

Fairy Li moved a stool and invited Mr. Mengfei to sit down.

"I've eaten, you two eat. I need to talk to Ziyang about something. You guys eat, don't worry about me."

Mr. Mengfei was clearly not very interested in Fairy Li's medicinal porridge.

"Medicinal porridge! Master."

Seeing that Mr. Mengfei wasn't interested, Su Ziyang whispered something to him.

"I've eaten. You guys eat! Eat!"

Mr. Mengfei declined again.

"Master, medicinal porridge!"

Just as Mr. Mengfei was about to wave his hand to refuse again, he heard Su Ziyang say calmly, "A medicinal porridge made with seventy-year-old wild ginseng..."

Mr. Mengfei's hand, which was about to wave, suddenly turned and reached for the porridge spoon, then ladled himself a small bowl of porridge.

"Slurp!~"

"Slurp~"

Mr. Mengfei, unfazed by the heat, downed two bowls in a row, then nodded with great satisfaction. "Ginseng, Poria, Astragalus. Greatly replenishes vital energy and warms and invigorates Yang energy. Suitable for all ages! Hahaha, truly excellent! All my fatigue has vanished! Excellent, excellent!"

Before Mr. Mengfei could finish speaking, Su Ziyang served Fairy Li a bowl, then served himself one, blew on it to cool it down, and slurped it down.

"Youth is wonderful; even a seventy-year-old wild ginseng can be used to make porridge!"

After making a remark, Mr. Mengfei filled another bowl and slowly savored it...
