The hawthorns that were left to dry were almost dry. Dried hawthorn can be stored for a long time and can be stored and soaked in water to drink. It can also be used to make hawthorn slices.

Powder the dried hawthorn and put it in a basin for later use. Add water and sugar to the pot, boil over high heat until the sugar melts, remove from the heat, and slowly pour the syrup into the hawthorn powder. Keep stirring, adding water in the middle, and knead the hawthorn powder into a dough like kneading dough. Use a rolling pin to roll out the hawthorn dumplings, then use a cup to press out round slices one by one. The hawthorn slices are ready.

Place the hawthorn slices on the table to dry, and then you can eat them after the sugar inside them is released. The acidity of hawthorn slices is much lower than that of fresh hawthorn products. It is soft and delicate when chewed, with a rustic texture and is delicious.

Best of all, it stores for a long time. At this time, Lu Yan really regretted why the caravan didn't come here. She had to sell this thing at a high price.

The weather was getting colder, and more and more people came to eat skewers in the evening. However, Lu Yan found that Chu Tiankuo had not been seen for several days, and he did not come to order lunch at noon. She always felt a little strange.

Lu Yan couldn't hold it back and asked Lu Sheng that night: "What's happened to Chu Tiankuo recently?"

Lu Sheng shook his head and said he didn't know: "I can't understand him. He has been eating in the canteen for the past two days, and that's it for a bowl of millet porridge."

Lu Yan looked confused: "What happened? His family went bankrupt?"

Lu Sheng was even more confused: "His uncle is an official, so it's not his fault."

Neither of them understood what Chu Tiankuo was doing. Finally one day during the riding class, Chu Tiankuo's eyes darkened and he fell over.

Although Chu Tiankuo was just a one-time thing, his classmates were still so frightened that they carried him to the hospital.

The doctor at the medical center said that he had fainted due to lack of Qi and blood. From the feedback from people around him, the doctor realized that he had not eaten properly for several days. The doctor severely criticized him and asked him to eat normally in the future.

Chu Tiankuo wanted to cry but had no tears. But he was not really desperate, so he went to Lu Ji that night.

When Lu Yan heard about this, she was very curious and couldn't help but sit opposite him and asked him: "Why don't you eat well recently?"

Chu Tiankuo sighed: "Don't you think I'm too fat? I want to lose weight."

Lu Yan was slightly startled, was she trying to lose weight?

Lu Yan frowned slightly: "Why do you think so suddenly? Are you afraid that Miss Liu will have any ideas?"

Chu Tiankuo hesitated for a moment and shook his head gently: "She doesn't mind that I'm fat, but I do. I also want others to say that we look good together, and I don't want her to be laughed at behind her back."

Lu Yan sighed inwardly: "Okay, as long as you are willing."

"But it's too painful not to eat." Chu Tiankuo said, "I know I have to move more, but I don't have the strength to move without eating, and I don't know what to do."

"Who said you can lose weight only if you don't eat?" Lu Yan patted the table: "Let's do this. If you trust me and come to Luji for dinner in the future, I will make your portion into a version that can make you lose weight. Snacks Don’t eat it from now on.”

Chu Tiankuo raised his eyes in surprise: "Really? Is there such a good thing?"

Lu Yan: "You really need to move more, and it doesn't have to be too strenuous. Just walk more every day. I force Lu Sheng to exercise every day. If you don't know why, you can be with him when he is walking in circles."

Chu Tiankuo remembered that Lu Sheng was indeed taking a walk when he had nothing to do. He walked around the county school twice at noon and walked around the county school twice in the evening. It turned out that he was exercising. Chu Tiankuo nodded decisively.

Chu Tiankuo's weight loss recipe was officially handed over to Lu Yan.

In fact, for people like Chu Tiankuo who like to eat snacks, drink milk tea and prefer food heavy in oil and salt, it is natural to be fat. His family is well-off and he doesn’t have any other hobbies. He just likes to eat. How can his family not allow him to eat?

However, it is very easy for this kind of person to change the recipe. Losing weight is nothing more than creating a calorie deficit. As long as you consume less than you consume, you will definitely lose weight. The metabolism of boys in adolescence is very high. If they change their eating habits, it will not be a big problem.

The first is the choice of staple food, replacing refined noodles with whole wheat ones. Anyway, the flour is ground at home. When I usually steam the steamed buns and cook the noodles, I just add half of the whole wheat flour.

When cooking, avoid heavy oil, use more chicken, and remove the skin. Eat more eggs, less sweets, and less milk tea. You can drink fruit tea but don't add sugar.

Try it first to see if you can lose weight, and if not, increase the intensity.

The next day, Chu Tiankuo got his fat-reducing meal.

For breakfast, his wonton filling changed to chicken filling, but it was still delicious.

Lu Yan came out and asked: "How is it? Is it acceptable?"

Chu Tiankuo hadn't eaten seriously for a long time. He only thought it tasted delicious and didn't feel there was any big difference from before. She gave Lu Yan a thumbs up: "It's delicious."

Since Chu Tiankuo is very receptive to chicken, he can use it boldly.

The weather is getting colder and there are fewer vegetables. Lu Sheng also had a large group of people who wanted to eat the same thing as Lu Sheng. Their lunch was fried shredded white radish and chicken stewed with potatoes. Chu Tiankuo's lunch was cold shredded white radish and stir-fried chicken breast with green onions. The staple food is still whole-wheat steamed buns, which are one degree darker than white steamed buns.

Chu Tiankuo ate happily as always.

Dinner is still skewers, but half of the noodles are missing, which is made up with Chinese cabbage, and sesame sauce is not allowed.

Chu Tiankuo was a little sad that he couldn't eat sesame paste. But it was much better than not eating, so he became happy again.

Chu Tiankuo's first day of adjusting his diet went through painlessly. The only thing that made him feel very uncomfortable was that the cup of milk tea he drank every afternoon was gone. However, this discomfort was quickly digested by Chu Tiankuo. He felt that there must be some discomfort, which made him feel that he had indeed made an effort.

Chu Tiankuo was very happy. When he went to bed at night, he was indescribably satisfied. At the same time, he also had a little doubt. Is he sure he could lose weight like this?

Lu Yan fell into another kind of trouble.

The weather is getting colder and colder, winter is coming, and there are fewer and fewer vegetables. It’s time to eat cabbage, radish, potatoes, and sweet potatoes in a different way.

In ancient times, it was not that there were no out-of-season vegetables. Out-of-season vegetables were called "Dongzi goods" and were exclusively eaten by wealthy people. At the moment, cucumbers have already gone up to [-] cents a piece, and they will get even more expensive in a while. During the Chinese New Year, if people want to eat something new for their New Year’s Eve dinner, they can cost as much as one tael. When Lu Yan made roast duck last year, she only added shredded green onions and did not dare to add shredded cucumbers.

Although she made a lot of money this year, Lu Yan is still not willing to buy Dongzi goods. What she was thinking was, could she grow her own?
