Ning Xiaoxian suffered injuries on two occasions over the span of two days, with eyewitnesses to both events. Old Huang instructed the kitchen to prepare a special meal just for her.
Thus, the next morning she was greeted with a steaming bowl of spinach and pork liver porridge waiting for her.
It is said that at that time, pork was considered the food of the common people, and it would be deemed disgraceful if brought out to entertain guests in a rich and noble family, especially since Huang Mansion was the residence of the local rich man. However, after her injury and excessive blood loss, the blood-nourishing and Qi-refilling properties of pork liver were widely recognized by the folk. Therefore, after much deliberation, the head chef decided to use it in the dish.
