Chapter 769: The Experience of Raising a Daughter
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The two of them exited the kitchen and sat down in the dining room. Jiang Nuan began, “I consulted a doctor previously who told me that I was lacking vitality and needed to replenish it. Especially now, in the spring, I need to avoid the wind, otherwise, I could easily catch a cold. Certain floral scents can also trigger allergies. Auntie, I’ve been drinking herbal soup every day, and it’s quite unpleasant.”
Gu Zi listened to the girl’s words and pondered for a moment. “Did the doctor only prescribe you herbal medicine? Did he give you any dietary therapy recipes?”
The girl shook her head. “He only mentioned following the herbal prescription. He said that once I complete this course of treatment, my body will start to recover.”
Gu Zi raised an eyebrow. “This doctor must be young and inexperienced. How can one recover without combining herbal treatment with lifestyle adjustments and dietary therapy? You do seem to lack vitality and indeed need to replenish it. However, you should also incorporate some dietary supplements. Remember to eat less sour food and more naturally sweet ones, like pumpkin and sweet potato.”
Jiang Nuan looked at Gu Zi with surprise and admiration. “Auntie, you’re amazing. The doctor who treated me was a young man, and he also told me to eat less sour food. I usually like to eat pickled plums.”
“You should eat less of those. You really can’t eat too much sour food in the spring. I do know some dietary therapy recipes that could help with your condition. If you trust me, I can write down the recipes for you when I have time. I’ll have Su Bing bring them to you, and you can have your family prepare meals according to the recipes. For today, since you were our flower girl, I’ll make a soup that’s beneficial for your health. How does that sound?”
After hearing Gu Zi’s words, Jiang Nuan happily hugged her. “I’ll be in your care today, Auntie. But Auntie, I want to help you in the kitchen.”
Gu Zi naturally wouldn’t refuse this eager little helper. She led Jiang Nuan into the kitchen. “We’ll make a pot of yam, coix seed, and lean meat soup. The meaty aroma is delightful, and it’s beneficial for your health. Watch how I make it, so you can have your family prepare it for you at home. The ingredients for this soup are simple: lean pork, yam, coix seed, jujube, goji berries, ginger, and salt.”
Jiang Nuan was a bit confused as she listened. She only recognized lean pork, ginger, and salt. The other ingredients were unfamiliar to her. However, she didn’t leave the kitchen because of this. She stayed with Gu Zi throughout the entire soup-making process.
Even though Gu Zi didn’t really ask her to help with anything, she stayed by her side until a pot of clear, delicious soup was ready. Jiang Nuan was the first to taste it, enjoying a bowl of soup with meat.
