Juhua knew her health was poor, so she always paid close attention to conditioning her body with food. To say nothing of other things, she had simmered and eaten quite a few pig stomachs alone. Stewed until they were falling-apart tender, eating them made her feel warm all over. 'But improving my constitution isn't something that can be done overnight,' she thought. 'It has to be a slow process!'
She remembered how in her past life, back in the countryside, women in postpartum confinement would eat pig trotters stewed with peanuts. So, she used her stewing pot to make it several times as well. As a result, even Zheng Changhe, who loved meat more than anyone, said it was too rich. He had to eat several mouthfuls of spicy pickled cabbage just to cut through the greasy feeling.
Juhua chuckled to herself. 'The whole family is enjoying postpartum confinement food!'
