Chapter 422 - Treatment (2/2)
“I caught them in the lake to make fish porridge for you. Without the nutrition, you can’t build up your body.”
Lin Luoran throws the fish into the pool. Ma Yiming is stunned with a kitchen knife. He has always known that his new aunt doesn’t obey the federal laws and regulations. However, catching fish from Dongting Lake in broad daylight? How dare she!
They haven’t eaten aquatic products. Even it’s just simple porridge, they are afraid of destroying it. Ma Yiming kills the fish and Lin Luoran guts it herself. When Lin Luoran slices fish fillets, the fish fillets are thin without fish bones as the kitchen knife goes down. In Ma Yiming’s eyes, this is extraordinary knife skills but not making porridge.
When scent of the s.p.a.ce rice porridge is drifting from the pot, Lin Luoran puts the finely cut mushrooms and ginger shreds into it. The fish fillets are the last to put into the pot. With a little green onion, the aroma is all over the room.
Because temperature is high, food ferments quickly. The jar of pickles two days ago is now ready. Ma Shuangshuang has two bowls of porridge with pickles and then remembers the fish head is missing. She asks curiously but Lin Luoran only smiles mysteriously.
“Fish head is also a delicious dish. Leave it for the noon.”
The food Aunt Lin thinks delicious will never fail them. Ma Shuangshuang swallows secretly and thinks she is hungrier and hungrier.
Can fish head also be a dish? What kind of dish?
The little girl is still thinking wildly. Lin Luoran puts down her bowl and says, “Shuangshuang, how about making clothes as entertainment after breakfast?”
Making clothes? Ma Shuangshuang’s eyes light up.
The new era tries to keep material thing as simple as possible. Besides, for the convenience of combat, both clothes of men and women are close-fitting. No one pays attention to clothes style. Ma Shuangshuang really admires Lin Luoran’s simple, elegant and retro dress.
“Can I also make clothes?” Ma Shuangshuang’s eyes darken. Because her brother has protected her so well, she can hardly do anything.
Lin Luoran nods certainly, “Can’t you knit some little stuff? Certainly, no problem. ”
…
“Well, this wire almost doesn’t go through it. Stay focused.”
Ma Shuangshuang has some sweat on her forehead. She has to be highly concentrated and it makes her feel extremely tired.
Ma Yiming is practicing some boxing techniques. He sees his sister “fighting” with the old loom and feels speechless. Aunt Lin gets the wooden old-fas.h.i.+oned machine from nowhere…A manual loom. Maybe no one used it even before the new era. If someone knows it, it will definitely be sent to the Dongting City Museum!
He can feel the green silk threads are silky and cold. However, when can it be wove into cloth and then made into clothes?
If men are not gifted with doing these trivial matters by nature, Ma Yiming really wants to help his sister.
Ma Shuangshuang is still sweating even though she is in the shadow.
Lin Luoran makes the meal and asks her to take a shower first.
“Wooden barrel again, right? Aunt Lin.”
Lin Luoran nods and Ma Shuangshuang rushes back to the room happily. Aunt Lin is more attentive to her than her brother. She can understand her thoughts as a girl. Lin Luoran made a huge wooden bucket for her in the bathroom. Every time when she is tired of playing in the yard and returns to her room, there will be a bucket of special water. With a slight fragrance and petals floating on the water, Ma Shuangshuang even has a feeling that she is a princess in ancient times at some moment.
She goes upstairs happily. Lin Luoran spreads a layer of chopped green and red peppers on the surface of the fish head left in the morning. She then steams it on the stove in the kitchen.
Ma Yiming can’t help asking the question that has been hidden in his mind for a long time, “Aunt Lin… about treating Shuangshuang…”
Finally?
Lin Luoran doesn’t look back and just puts some medicine powder in the dishes. She says slowly, “When the clothes are ready, Shuangshuang’s diseases will almost be cured.”
Ma Yiming is kind of suspicious.
He doesn’t doubt Lin Luoran’s ability. However, the three of them just stay in the villa all day to eat and drink together. He never sees Lin Luoran treating his sister—is knitting cloth or taking a bath also a kind of treatment?
