Experience of drinking porridge
Jia Daye, Hongmiao Community, Chaoyang District
Thanks to my wife's skillful hands, I drank dark plum and longan porridge in summer, which brought down the fire. In winter, my wife can cook mutton porridge, which can keep out the cold and is not afraid of cholesterol. Neighbors also ask my wife how to cook porridge from time to time.

I have loved chestnut since I was a child, so my mother will amuse me in another way. She will make it into dishes, such as braised pork with chestnuts, chestnut bean curd soup and even have her own chestnut porridge in winter. Because I have stomach trouble again recently, she often prepares chestnut porridge for me. After a period of slow conditioning, the stomach will slowly stop hurting. What a pity to inherit the wind!
