The weather has changed a lot recently. The temperature difference between day and night is nearly ten degrees. It’s the season for colds. It’s easy for adults to catch a cold if they don’t pay attention, let alone children with weak physiques.”
As soon as Su Yayan finished speaking, she immediately received the approval of many mothers in the livestream.
[Yes, yes, yes. My baby caught the bug two days ago. He had a cold, a fever, and a runny nose. He lost weight after a few days. It’s not easy to recover from medicine if it’s too light. If it’s too heavy, I’m afraid of hurting the child if he consumes too much medicine. He feels terrible after a cold. As parents, it’s like we’ve fought a war.]
[My baby is the same. He’s usually especially lively and active. When he catches a cold, he’s like a kitten. He’s so weak. Usually, when he makes a fuss, he can’t wait to pick him up and beat him up. Now that he’s not causing trouble, my heart feels sour and uncomfortable.]
The mothers were busy sharing their babies on the screen. The single audience shivered and did not dare to speak.
[Wuwuwu, I can’t keep up with others when I get married, let alone when I have children. I’m crying!]
“When it comes to the Lily Pears and Lotus Root Soup, the main ingredients are lilies, raw pears, and lotus roots. It’s recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica that pears and lilies have the effect of purging heat and dissolving phlegm, soothing the lungs, and quenching thirst. Lotus roots also have the effect of clearing heat. When three things are stewed together, they can relieve the child’s cold, cough, and other illnesses to a certain extent.”
As Su Yayan spoke, she tore the lilies into pieces and cut the pears and lotus roots into small pieces. She first stewed the lilies and lotus roots for ten minutes before adding the pears into the soup.
“I’ve made a herbal dish to stop coughing before. It’s also suitable for children. Today, I brought another herbal dish to stop coughing—Radish Honey Drink. Radish has always been known for competing in ginseng. Oh, it’s the ginseng that appeared in my livestream previously. The new audience doesn’t know that they can look at the previous recording.”
“Radish is nutritious and has the effect of dissolving phlegm to stop coughing. It can clear heat and nourish the body. Ginger can kill bacteria and disperse cold. Add honey and dates to soothe the cough and nourish the stomach and blood. It’s very effective for coughing caused by cold weather.”

While Su Yayan was speaking, the radish jujube and ginger slices had already been thrown into the pot.
It would take some time to cook both soups. After cooking them, Su Yayan immediately started cooking other dishes.
“Next, we’ll make two medicinal cuisines that can improve a child’s anemia condition. Some children are prone to anemia six months after birth. At this time, they need to eat something to nourish their blood and improve their physique. There’s a saying that blood replenishment comes first with iron, because iron can help the human body synthesize blood red cells and improve the symptoms of anemia. Among the various ingredients, the liver contains the most iron.”
“What I’m going to do today is stir-fry lamb liver with fresh tomato and leeks.”
She used liver for both dishes, but she used lamb liver for chives and pork liver for fresh eggplant.
Either way, the white membrane on the liver had to be removed first. Otherwise, the liver would be filled with a fishy smell.
Even adults might not be happy to eat it, let alone children.
Su Yayan removed the membrane with a few brushes, sliced it, and rinsed it with water.
“Children have weaker resistance, and you have to be more careful about what you eat. To avoid invisible bacteria in raw food, you can boil it in water like this to kill the bacteria. It’s safer.”
As Su Yayan spoke, she scooped out the mutton liver slices, raised the pot to heat the oil, and placed the onions and ginger into it to stir-fry the fragrance. Then, she poured the mutton liver into the pot.
In an instant, the livestream was filled with smoke and fragrance!
