Chapter 25 Careful Care
When he was admitted to the hospital, Mu Xiu was not familiar with the environment, so he went to the hospital cafeteria to buy food. Later, Mu Xiu rented a small cafeteria and began to try to make some delicious food. Unexpectedly, he attracted Lu Niandong as soon as he was done, and now he has started to take care of Lu Niandong's three meals a day.
"Mu Xiu, what delicious food did you buy today?" Sister Kang from the canteen greeted with a smile.
"I bought fish and pork belly." Mu Xiu said with a smile, the girl's voice was soft and sweet.
"To improve your life today? It costs a lot of money." Sister Kang smacked her lips.
Mu Xiu gave her smile and walked towards her stove.
Mu Xiu picked up the pot quickly, first went to the water pressing well outside, rolled a full pot of water, brought it to the stove, scooped two bowls of rice, washed it, boiled a pot of water, and started steaming the rice.
Mu Xiu took out a stainless steel basin and returned to the well. He began to wash the fish with his hands and feet, wash the pork belly and drain the water together.
Then wash the scallions, winter melon, potatoes and ginger, peel a few garlic, and take them to the kitchen together.
The pot had already smelled of rice. After looking at the time, it was almost ready. Lu Niandong was old and usually people liked to eat soft rice, so Mu Xiu added some more water.
Mu Xiu placed the fish on a plate, cut shredded ginger and green onions, and placed them on both sides of the fish. After the arrangement, she looked around. It was still early and no one came to make lunch. She took out the green tea that had been prepared, soaked it, and then poured it on the fish, then put it on the cage and steamed it.
After more than ten minutes, the fish was steamed and the rice was steamed. Mu Xiu chose a tank of soy sauce from the several tanks of soy sauce placed in the space, dug some with a spoon, and dripped it onto the fish, and the fish meat suddenly exuded a strong fragrance.
Mu Xiu took the pot and started to cook braised pork. She specially added a few potatoes. The braised pork stewed on low heat, and the oil produced simmered potatoes, which made people feel fragrant when they looked at it.
After cooking, Mu Xiu cleaned up the kitchen utensils in the canteen and was about to put the served food in the insulation box to deliver the meal.
This insulation box was handed over to her last night by Lu Yuan, otherwise she would not be able to buy it on the market, so she took the lunch box and went to Grandpa Lu's ward first.
"Oh, girl, what day is today? It's so rich! This meat is so big! It's so delicious." The old lady Mu Xiu met when she came to the small cafeteria on the first day, and she also came to the small cafeteria. She looked at the dishes made by Mu Xiu, smelling the fragrance, and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
"Grandma, come and try my skills." Mu Xiu picked up a few pieces of meat and put them in the old lady's empty bowl.
"Hey, my daughter, this is a precious thing, it's not enough. I'll eat one piece to try it." The old lady quickly stopped Mu Xiu's hand holding the meat.
"It's okay, grandma, you have something to eat, I'll go to deliver the meal first." After Mu Xiu finished speaking, he brought the prepared meal to deliver the meal.
Grandpa Lu lives in a single room. When Mu Xiu knocked on the door and entered, he was listening to the radio broadcast.
"Mu Xiu, you finally came, I'm hungry." Lu Niandong patted his stomach lightly and said exaggeratedly.
"Grandpa Lu, have you been given an insulin injection? You can only eat after the injection." Mu Xiu knew the treatment process for diabetes, so she couldn't help but reminded her.
"You are waiting for me here, I'll go to the nurse's station to ask Xiao Zhao to come and get the injection." Lu Niandong really hadn't received insulin yet, so he stood up and walked out of the ward quickly.
Mu Xiu was amused and couldn't help but whisper: "Grandpa Lu, go slower, no one will snatch you..."
"Xiao Zhao, give me insulin first." Lu Niandong greeted the nurse who was dispensing the medicine.
"Old leader, it's only 12 o'clock, and you're going to have lunch! You must remember to avoid mouth, not eat sweets, eat less staple food, and not eat greasy..." Nurse Xiao Zhao reminded him, took out insulin in his hand, disinfected it, and used a syringe to take the dose, put it in the treatment plate, picked it up, and walked into his room with Lu Niandong.
"It's so delicious, what should I eat for lunch?" As soon as Nurse Xiao Zhao entered the door, she smelled the scent of the food, and then saw Mu Xiu placing the food on the table.
"I made steamed fish and winter melon soup at noon." Mu Xiu said with a smile.
"Yes, the old leader should eat more light food." Nurse Xiao Zhao nodded.
"Oh, I hate eating fish the most, Xiu, you..." Lu Niandong frowned when he heard Mu Xiu make fish, and his face drooped.
"Come on, reveal your stomach." Nurse Xiao Zhao first disinfected Lu Niandong with a cotton swab dipped with iodine, then used a cotton swab dipped with alcohol to remove iodine, and finally picked up the needle and injected insulin subcutaneously.
Soon, the injection was completed.
"Wait 5 minutes before eating." Nurse Xiao Zhao left after he gave instructing him.
"It's okay to wait ten minutes, I don't want to eat anymore." Lu Niandong whispered.
Mu Xiu couldn't help laughing, "Grandpa Lu is really like a child."
"Grandpa Lu, you can try the fish I made first, and then decide whether to eat it or not."
"The fish will taste the same, and it smells like earthy and fishy. I don't like it." Lu Niandong said in a depressed mood.
"Okay, it's five minutes. Grandpa Lu, eat it while it's hot. Otherwise, if you don't eat anything after taking the insulin, you will feel dizzy." Mu Xiu urged.
Lu Niandong sat down helplessly, reluctantly picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth. He paused for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and then he swallowed quickly, stretched out the chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth again.
In this way, the chopsticks flew up and down. In a short while, he finished eating a grass carp of more than 2 pounds. A small bowl of rice was eaten up, and even the bowl of winter melon soup was drunk.
"Mu Xiu, how do you make this fish? It's all steamed fish, but the taste is different from what I used to eat." Lu Niandong burped.
"I used soy sauce made by the ancient formula myself, and the taste was different." Mu Xiu said in his heart, but he definitely couldn't say this.
"Maybe the method is different. Grandpa Lu, you can eat more fish, which is good for your health." Mu Xiu said obediently.
"Okay, I will eat whatever you do in the future. You little girl will taste delicious whatever you cook." Lu Niandong laughed and looked in a good mood.
