Volume 7: Li Song reappears to think of the king, and skillful craftsmen recast the love of the calf Volume 7 Chapter 30: Good Wife and Mother
It still remnants in the small house with bloody smell.
In the past six months, Wang Tie seems to have become accustomed to living in this narrow hut. He can no longer remember how long it has been since he returned to the spacious courtyard in the east of the city.
Maybe he understood that if his heart was uneasy, the place where he sleeped could only be called a "house"; if his relatives were not there, it would be difficult to make his home anywhere.
In the dark room, he sat alone, but only he knew that his heart was surging.
After a long time, he fumbled and lit the light and took out a book from under his pillow.
"Wang's Medicinal Food".
Wang Tie said softly:
"The dishes made by Jinwei are exactly the same as what you cook. They are the most delicious I have ever eaten in my life..."
After a long time, he seemed to have to be brave enough to open the book. What caught his eye was not the recipe, but a beautiful piece of handwriting:
"From today on, I will be his wife. I will cook all my best dishes for him to eat and make him the happiest husband in the world."
Then I turned to another page and saw a "Astragalus chicken". Below is a small line of comments: "The head of the family always said that he was very tired recently, and I, a woman, could not share the burden for him, but I couldn't bear it."
Astragalus chicken, nourishes physical fatigue and decreases physical strength.
Turning another page, "Ginseng and Glutinous Rice Porridge", the following comments: "Brother Tie, you said your master is seriously ill and you are worried, but other disciples are always thinking about the title of Master Tiewang. They are all heartless and can only compete and fight... I don't understand the girls you said, but seeing your hard work and sad appearance all day long, I have to do something."
Ginseng and glutinous rice porridge can nourish vitality, resist fatigue, and strengthen the heart.
The next page is "Red Date Cake Paired with Lotus Paste Sesame Ball", and the beautiful handwriting is obviously much lighter: "Brother Tie is really good. My sister knew that you will definitely become the Iron King. Today is your birthday, let's celebrate... I don't know why recently, I always vomited. I haven't told him before, let him accompany me to the doctor's place tomorrow."
Red date cake is made with lotus paste and sesame balls, also known as "happy plus happiness".
In the next few pages, the beginning of each page's annotation is either "Brother Tie" or "the head of the family" is "him". Wang Tie murmured with tears in his eyes:
"Silly, why don't you say anything for yourself..."
After turning a few pages, the beginning of the comments is finally not these words:
"My little Yaoyao, my mother finally saw you. You are so cute. Your father named you Wang Jinwei. You must grow up quickly and be a man like your father."
The dish on this page is a simple "soy milk". The beautiful handwriting adds sloppyly below: "My God, such a big bowl will not make Xiaoyao die, right? No, I'll go and ask Grandma He next door..."
Next page, "Three or Half", the strange name of the dish, the annotation reads: "From Uncle Zhang at the dock, I heard the dish that the young ladies in Jiangnan have eaten this since childhood, and when they grow up, they are all handsome and delicate. It is better to give Jinwei a try... But don't let Brother Tie know. If Jinwei is so delicate, he will sulk with me again." (At the end of the annotation, he also drew a small smiley face, sticking out his tongue playfully).
Three or half, a famous medicinal food in Jiangnan, can strengthen muscles and bones, and the best food effect for children.
After that, every page recorded daily trivial matters, all about the Wang family father and son. Wang Tie promoted the business prosperity and became the largest iron factory in Ba County. Wang Jinwei went to school and came back to show his parents a song "Ode to the Goose"; Wang Tie's reputation spread throughout the Central Plains, and there were endless guests coming to see him. The family finally moved from the small stone house in the back mountain to the big house; Wang Jinwei fell and had a big bag on his head...
After turning dozens of pages, the last "Gathering" was written in three or four pages, which shows that it was complicated. The commentary said: "I'm so tired. Finally, I figured out this "Gathering" dish. This is my own dish, and it belongs to our Wang family. Except for Brother Tie and Jinwei, I don't make it for him to eat... Brother Tie is really. He is so old and he is still jealous of his son, so he must make more dishes for him. But now it's good..."
The handwriting suddenly became sloppy here, as if something unexpected happened at that time. Later, the beautiful handwriting continued:
"...It's time to go, the father and son like this dish more and more, and there is no need to fight again."
There are no recipe records later, but there are still texts on each page:
"I don't know what I think. It's obviously a recipe, but I treat it as a notepad. I have to write down all trivial matters..."
"Jinwei has grown by one inch... it has grown by seven minutes... it has grown by one inch. This year, my little girl has grown a lot. At most, it will be taller than my mother in two years."
"An organization named Qianfeng gave Tie Ge the title of 'Master's Career'. I couldn't understand the literary zombie. I asked me to say it was not as good as the Iron King, but Tie Ge was very happy..."
"It's so strange. I've always had a headache this year, one after another, and it hurts when it hurts. But I can't say when it will be done, so I'll get better again... Brother Tie has been busy recently, and Jinwei has always been bullied by other children. I'd better bear it myself first."
"Tomorrow morning, Brother Tie will take me to Jinguancheng to see Doctor Si for treatment. I said it's okay, and it's nothing that hurts for three or five years, but he insists on going, and I can't resist him... Jinwei always cares about the rabbit head in Jinguancheng. This time he has to weigh a few more pounds and let him eat enough."
"Tou Feng, Doctor Si said that this disease is because I have worked hard for a long time and there is no cure to cure... What do I have to do? What does it mean to cure without cure? Will I die... I don't want to die, I'm dead, and the father and son have no one to take care of him. How pitiful it should be..."
The words behind are getting shorter and shorter, and the handwriting is getting trembling and stagnant.
"I hurt for several hours yesterday, and my head was silly."
"Brother Tie and I had a fight and smashed all the pots and bowls. I can't say I'll cook again... But I don't care about you two, who am I going to care about?"
"Brother Tie has a bad temper recently and always yells with power. I advised him, but he hugged me and cried, saying that he couldn't bear to leave. He is such a fool, how could I leave? It's just a little problem..."
"I seem to be out of reach. My eyes can't see things clearly, and my ears buzz."
"Brother Tie, you have to raise your vigor and make him a
All words come to an abrupt end here, just like her life.
Even though he has read it countless times, Wang Tie will still burst into tears every time he opens this recipe.
But he would always open the book again next time, because looking at these trivial words, he would think that gentle figure was still by his side...
Wang Tie wiped his tears silently and gently closed the recipe, but suddenly he found that there was a line of words behind the last page, which was written by another person, dipped in soy sauce with his fingers:
Mom, Jinwei is so hungry.
Chapter completed!
