Chapter 35 - health knowledge, eating
“Oh, what kind of trouble is this? It’s up to the big tiger to do all the physical work. I’ll let him do it later.” Mother Li said bluntly.
“Mom, there is still food.” Li Xiaomei couldn’t help raising her voice to remind.
Mother Li quickly patted her forehead and said with a smile, “Yes, yes, I’ll go get it right away.”
“Sister Jing, come in and have a seat, this yard is messy.” Li Xiaomei said embarrassedly, because she raised a few chickens, and they usually keep them in the small yard. She hasn’t come to clean up today.
“Well, good.” Jing Qingxin walked into the main room and sat down. It took a little time to deal with the old hen.
The house of Li’s house is also very dilapidated, and the walls can be seen with tiny cracks. The whole main room is divided into two parts. , It should be a simple room inside, it seems that the Li family also has insufficient room, so come to the main room!
There is a room on each side of the main room with a wooden door, but it is much better than the tall house. His room is so simple that there is not even a cover. When you open the door, you can see the main room and his room at a glance.
Fortunately, Gao Shen was attentive and thoughtful, and taking into account her identity as a woman, she set up a curtain around her wooden bed, otherwise it would be clear at a glance what her bed would look like when she opened the door to the main room.
Jing Qing’s eyes swept to the big bowl on the wooden table, and there was also the small snack she put on Li Xiaomei’s cake. It seemed that she didn’t move much, and she couldn’t help asking: “Why didn’t you eat it? Isn’t it delicious?”
“Ah? This one… It’s delicious, especially delicious!” Li Xiaomei nodded when she saw Jing Qingxin’s gaze and said that she had tasted a small cake at noon, and it was really delicious. The best pastry I’ve ever eaten!
“Then why are there so many?” Jing Qing asked in confusion.
Li Xiaomei blushed slightly, and replied with a hint of embarrassment: “We ate a small piece each at noon. My mother asked me to keep it as a gift for my grandmother’s house, and let my uncle and the others taste it as well.”
In rural areas, desserts and sugar are rare and expensive, and they are worth eating meat. Ordinary families do not buy desserts and sugar. If they receive desserts and candies, Who would be willing to keep their own food, and they would send it out as a gift. If there is such a gift, the person who sends it will be very face.
“These pastries and snacks are delicious when they are fresh. The taste will change after a long time. I’ll bring them to you next time. Don’t keep them.”
This life is really tight. The living materials are too scarce, and even a little good food is reluctant to eat, Jing Qing can’t help sighing in his heart.
“No need, Sister Jing! That’s enough, don’t waste your money~” Li Xiaomei hurriedly discouraged, this thing can’t be eaten all the time, it’s too wasteful.
“It’s okay, the pastries here are not bought, they are made by me at home, and it doesn’t cost much.” Jing Qingxin said with a smile.
Jing Qing could see Li Xiaomei’s bright eyes looking at the cakes, just like a child’s craving for candy. Thinking about it carefully, Li Xiaomei was still a half-year-old child. At the age of sixteen, she was still sitting at the age of sixteen. In the bright classroom, influenced by knowledge, enjoying the beautiful youthful period of youth, but the children of this era are destined to start taking responsibility for the family very early.
“I made it at home? It’s so good? It’s much better than the sweet-scented osmanthus cake sold by the town’s supply and marketing cooperative.” Li Xiaomei exclaimed. During the Chinese New Year last year, her family bought a little sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and she ate a piece. For her, it was already delicious, but after eating the pastries sent by Sister Jing, she felt that the sweet-scented osmanthus cake before was nothing.
“What are you talking about? What the hell!” Mother Li came over with a few bags.
“Mom, Sister Jing said that the dim sum can’t be kept for too long, it will taste bad, let’s not keep it, eat it as soon as possible!” Li Xiaomei happily repeated what she said just now, with full expectation. It should be playful.
“I see, it’s you who are greedy!” Mother Li laughed.
“No, I just said what Sister Jing said. If you don’t believe me, ask Sister Jing~” Li Xiaomei muttered.
“Aunt Li, I said it! I made this pastry at home, and it didn’t cost much. I will make it too. When I go to town tomorrow to buy some ingredients, I will make some for you to try. Eat these pastries as soon as possible. The taste is good, especially the food to eat, it should not be left for too long, it is harmful to the body.” Jing Qing said softly.
Jing Qing intentionally reminded them of common sense in medical health preservation. She also just heard Li Xiaomei mention it before she realized that in today’s age, everyone lacks common sense about health, and they always want to collect delicious things. Get up and eat slowly.
The environment in which food can be stored is too poor, and many foods are prone to mold on the surface, which has a great impact on physical health. In addition, the current medical level is relatively backward, such as the elderly and children whose body resistance is relatively weak. Easy to get sick, slightly more serious diseases, because of family conditions, I don’t know how many people were delayed in getting sick, and their lives disappeared!
Don’t think it’s her making a big fuss, if today’s medical development is common, then it’s better to solve it! But now she is in this era, and there are no such conditions. She once read an article about diseases and medicine in this era, which described the lack of medical knowledge in this era, especially in rural areas, many elderly people. The use of folk remedies has resulted in many innocent lives not being treated!
Mother Li was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: “How can it be so serious? Children in the countryside are so particular, they have grown up with hardships since childhood, and their bodies are strong!”
Jing Qing smiled without saying a word, and didn’t explain anymore. She didn’t expect to make them have that health awareness once, so let’s slowly affect it in the future!
“Xiaojing, this bag of refined grains was sent by the army at the beginning, and now there are still more than ten kilograms. I have packed some red glutinous rice in this bag for you. This bag is five kilograms of cornmeal, not much. You can mix and match to eat first. In this bag, there are a few white radishes and some sun-dried pickles. You only cleaned up the kitchen, so there must be nothing there, don’t dislike it, just eat it first.” Li Mu opened the bags. After the introduction, she also wanted to pour some good things, but her family had this condition.
“How could it be! I have to thank you, Aunt Li. Now I don’t have to worry about today’s dinner, and I have prepared so many things for us. Then Aunt Li, I will not be polite to you!” Jing Qing is generous. The two families are next to each other, and there must be frequent human exchanges. Besides, she really needs these, otherwise how can she open a small stove?
