Chapter 32: Chinese Motherwort and Egg Soup
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The female viewers in the livestream were discussing the topic in disarray right after Su Yayan finished talking.
It seemed like no matter how medical science had developed throughout the years, the painful menstrual period was still every girl’s nightmare.
Su Yayan gave a slight smile after looking at the swarming real-time comments that were flying across the screen—it was much merrier than yesterday. First, she added a few eggs into the pot, boiled them to perfection, and peel the shells off. She then took out a casserole pot and added Chinese motherwort, Chinese wolfberries, and hard-boiled eggs. She boiled the water, then simmered it for half an hour.
“I saw someone asking what Chinese motherwort is. Chinese motherwort is a type of Chinese herbal medicine. After leaving it under the sun and boiling it, it has the functions of promoting blood circulation, regulating menstruation blood flow, reducing body heat, and detoxing. However, the herb itself tastes bitter and tastes awful if it’s taken raw. We’ll need to add in other herbal medicine ingredients to make it taste good. Therefore, Chinese red date is the most suitable herbal medicine ingredient.”
Su Yayan took out a small bowl of dried Chinese red dates, smiled faintly, and said, “Chinese red dates are called the king of fruits. It has rich nutrients and a fresh and sweet taste. It tastes good whether you’re eating it raw or cooked. The best thing about it is that it acts as nourishment for vitality and is also effective in beautifying and nourishing the skin. Other than that, it reduces the strong effects of Chinese medication and minimizes their side effects.”
“Adding Chinese red dates into the Chinese motherwort soup can cover up the bitterness without compromising the effectiveness of the Chinese motherwort. They complement each other by playing their own roles at their best.”
Most of the viewers were already laughing at Su Yayan, thinking that Su Yayan was bluffing when she was actually telling the truth.
How could they not have heard this before if there was something so wonderful;?
The viewer’s reactions were within Su Yayan’s expectations, so she did not continue to explain. When she was about to lower her head to check on the heat, she heard the familiar gift notification prompt alert.
Su Yayan was slightly stunned. Once she lifted her head, she received a glittering comment sent from some local tyrant who had written a comment that was barely a few words.
The rainbow-colored bolded words with special effects were portraying his arrogant and rich behavior vividly.
[I believe in you. You’re good.]
Su Yayan almost burst out laughing when she saw that familiar characteristic attempt at comforting. In her heart, she was able to confirm the identity of this person now. She did her best to hold back her laughter and replied, “Thank you.”
Even though the Chinese red dates were sweet, they were dried before. The slow-cooking time was short, so the sweetness would not be able to seep into the soup. Brown sugar was to be added at last.
“Someone said that drinking brown sugar can relieve menstrual pain not long ago. Brown sugar has the effect of promoting blood circulation. If you’re not at home, bring some brown sugar along to make a drink. It really helps in relieving the pain. Pregnant women who recently gave birth can also take this brown sugar drink after a week. However, this is only for those who gave birth naturally, not for those who had cesarean delivery.”
“Considering that everyone has different tastes, I’m doing it my way today. If you can make it yourself at home, you can choose your sugar level based on your preferences.”
Su Yayan explained as she added a full spoon of brown sugar into the pot. As she stirred the soup, the smell of the sweetness and the fragrance of slightly burnt eggs was getting more and more concentrated. It made the livestream viewers who had switched on the smell simulator crave for it.
[I don’t usually like sweet stuff, but that smell is making my stomach grumble all of a sudden.]
[I thought it might be too much when I saw the host adding so much brown sugar, but it turned out perfectly fine.]
