Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

Zhao Yuanzhen slept in the beauty shop, and the next day Zhao Yuanlan brought the payment from the palace.

Okay, no delay in payment, she likes it.

Since there were two daughters-in-law at home who were about to give birth, she went back.

The grapes in the orchard are beginning to ripen.

Zhao Yuanzhen started tinkering with wine at the winery again.

When picking grapes, you should cut them one by one with scissors. Do not break the grapes. Wash the whole grapes and dry them in the sun to remove all moisture.

When there is no water on the grape skin, place the grapes in a large, clean basin without water or oil.

Use a squeezing spoon to crush all the grapes, add rock sugar according to the proportion, and consider the target audience to create two levels of sweetness, one is half sugar sweetness and the other is polysaccharide sweetness. Wine with this sweetness tastes like a wine beverage, sour and sweet and very delicious.

Put the grapes with rock sugar into a clean oak barrel.

Seal it well and ferment it. The first round of fermentation takes 15 days, and the second round of fermentation takes 15 days, which is also a total of one month of fermentation time.

After the first round of fermentation is completed, filter out the grape residue and use the filtered wine for the second round of fermentation. After another 15 days, filter it again and the wine is ready.

There were hundreds of grape trees planted in the orchard at the beginning. Kyoho grapes are the variety with the strongest grape flavor. Zhao Yuanzhen planted 200 trees, with a yield of about 4 kilograms. He kept 2000 kilograms and used the rest to make wine.

The remaining 100 grape and sunshine rose trees are the ones I like to eat.

A total of more than 4 kilograms were produced, 2 kilograms of which were packed and put into the cellar. Each of them kept 5000 kilograms for their own space. Except for those given away and distributed to servants, the rest were all sold.

The transport team also sent some of it to the other side of the Yellow River.

Green tangerines, lemons and passion fruits are also picked and stored in the cellar. These are needed for sweet soup and drinks. Not many are grown and they are not sold.

What she didn't expect was that the beauty shop sold more fruits than the grocery store.

It turns out that women have strong purchasing power.

In the vegetable garden, various beans, cowpeas, melon strips, dried eggplants, potato chips, and dried chilies are also dried in large quantities.

Zhuangzi and his family have basically stored some dried vegetables for the winter, and there is still a batch of green vegetables that can be stored that have not yet been put into the cellar.

Some of the dried fruits were distributed to various shops, and the rest were stored in the warehouse and eaten slowly by the family.

The yellow peaches are ripe, and the canning shop is about to start up.

He hired 10 maids and 4 servants.

Start canning.

First, make the yellow peaches, wash the peaches, peel them, cut them into pieces, add rock sugar and steam them in a pot.

After being steamed and cooled, it is put into a jar that has been boiled, washed and sterilized at high temperature.

Seal tightly and the can is ready.

It is also stored in the wine cellar and will be sold better this winter.

The most important thing is not to let the utensils come into contact with water and oil, otherwise they will rot.

He chose a maid and renamed her Zhang Tao.

The canning workshop doesn’t operate for very long, only this season. After we finish the work, we will look for other productions for the workshop.

I looked at the calendar and it was already August 8th, but my two daughters-in-law's stomachs still hadn't reacted.

Li Zhijuan had been muttering about it during the day, and in the evening she started to have stomachache, so Zhao Yuanzhen hurried to check.

I found out that my water had broken, which meant I was going to give birth.

Tell people to quickly boil water and prepare various things.

Zhao Yuanzhen drove everyone out and stayed in the room herself.

Without an ultrasound, Zhao Yuanzhen felt that the fetal position was not right.

It seems like the head is up and the feet are down.

This won’t work, the fetus needs to be in the correct position.

"Zhijuan, do you believe me?"

"Mom, I believe you. What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my situation?"

"Well, the baby's position is wrong, with its head facing upwards. I need to correct the position, which will be painful. Just bear with it, don't be afraid, don't move, trust me, can you?"

"Okay, mother, be upright, I believe you."

Zhao Yuanzhen took out the ginseng she had dug earlier, cut a few slices, let Li Zhijuan bite them, and then tied her hands with soft cloth.

I was afraid that she would hurt herself if she got too anxious.

She first used moxibustion, but after a long time, the little guy was still stubborn and refused to move.

There is no other way but to manually adjust the fetal position.

Zhao Yuanzhen gently stroked her belly with her hand and roughly figured out the baby's posture and position.

Then hold the belly and slowly start to rotate it clockwise. Because of the pressure from the uterus, many organs are squeezed together, so the slightest movement will cause pulling and pain.

Zhao Yuanzhen tried her best to find the correct position slowly.

While Li Zhijuan was not paying attention, time passed quickly and she could be heard screaming in pain.

Fortunately, Zhao Yuanzhen was quick and accurate, and the pain only lasted for a short while before it was over.

"It's okay, it's okay, the fetus is in the right position now. Don't be afraid."

Zhao Yuanzhen wiped her sweat with a handkerchief and comforted her.

Li Zhijuan felt a little exhausted, so Zhao Yuanzhen gave her another piece of ginseng slice to hold in her mouth.

Slowly the contractions began again.

"Don't be afraid. Don't use too much force yet. Let him make a fuss for a while. Wait until I call you, then you can use more force."

"it is good."

Li Zhijuan said this somewhat weakly.

After waiting for more than an hour, it slowly opened. Zhao Yuanzhen told her to start pushing harder as she screamed.

"Ugh!"

"It's a baby girl, Zhijuan."

With a loud cry, the baby finally came out.

Zhao Yuanzhen took a scalpel, cut the umbilical cord, and asked someone to bring in hot water to clean the baby.

He wrapped it in a small quilt and placed it next to Zhijuan so that she could see it.

"Look, this little nose and little mouth looks a bit like you. She must be a beauty."

Zhao Yuanzhen looked at the little girl, so tiny.

I asked someone to bring a scale and measured it, and it was a little over 6 kilograms.

Li Zhijuan turned her head to look at her daughter next to her. This little girl who looked so sweet, was she the daughter she had given birth to at all costs?

"Mom, mom, can I come in?"

Zhang Xinnian was extremely anxious outside, mainly because it took too long.

"come in!"

Forgot about him.

Zhao Yuanzhen took a pen and paper and wrote down the child's birth date, height and weight.

"Zhijuan, you take a rest first. I'll ask the kitchen to make some food and send it over."

"it is good."

"Bai Zhi, take good care of the young mistress. Don't let her hold the baby. Let her have a good rest and don't catch a cold."

"Yes, ma'am."

Zhao Yuanzhen went to the kitchen, gave some ginseng slices, and asked the cook to put them in the brown sugar porridge and send them over.

At this time, it is not advisable to eat too greasy food, it is better to eat some brown sugar porridge.

He also instructed the kitchen to cook the five-red soup in a special small clay pot, keep the fire on and keep it hot so that it can be drunk at any time.

Just as I came out of the kitchen, Zhang Xinbai was running towards me in a hurry.

"Mom, come quickly, Xiaohui has a stomachache."

Qian Xiaohui was about to go to bed at night, but when she heard that her sister-in-law was about to give birth, she became worried. Later, she heard that the fetus was in an abnormal position. She became nervous and worried, and did not pay attention to her own body for a while.

After Li Zhijuan gave birth to the child, she relaxed and found that her stomach began to hurt.

When Zhao Yuanzhen heard this, she hurried over.

"Get your things ready and get out."

"Mom, you're here."

"Well, how do you feel?"

"The labor pains have already started, but I can't feel much else."

Zhao Yuanzhen checked and found that the baby was half out.

"Harder."

Following Zhao Yuanzhen's command, the baby came out in less than half a minute.

This is Qian Xiaohui's second child, so it was easier to give birth.

"Ugh!"

"It's a boy, white and fat."

Zhao Yuanzhen skillfully cut the umbilical cord, cleaned the baby, dressed him in small clothes, and placed him next to Qian Xiaohui.

"Come in, and ask the kitchen to prepare another serving of brown sugar porridge."

"Mom, it's born!"

Zhang Xinbai rushed out in a hurry.

Looking at Qian Xiaohui lying there, with the child wrapped up beside her.

My wife is too fast.

Before he had time to worry too much, the baby was born.

"Bai Wei, serve some porridge to the young mistress, and help feed the young master. If there is no milk, leave it alone. I will come over later and go see Zhijuan. Xiaohui, eat something first and have a good rest."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Okay, mother."

Qian Xiaohui gave birth quickly and without much effort, so she looks in good condition.

Zhao Yuanzhen went to Li Zhijuan again.

After eating something, Li Zhijuan, who was lying down, looked better.

Her clothes were a little wet with sweat, so she asked Baizhi to change her into dry clothes and her bedding.

Only then can I lie down comfortably and dryly.

"how do you feel?"

"Mom, I'm much better, just a little tired."

"Okay, then you can take a rest. Don't worry. Bai Zhi and I will take care of it."

"it is good."

Li Zhijuan fell asleep in a daze.

Zhao Yuanzhen and Bai Zhi put the child in her arms and helped the baby feed.

But there was basically no milk at that time, and Zhao Yuanzhen was afraid that the baby would have low blood sugar due to hunger, so she bought milk powder, a thermos, and a bottle.

The bottle body is made of wood and the nipple is rubber.

Ask everyone to go out.

I went into the space and made the milk powder, and bought 100 large, medium and small pacifiers and bottles, put them out first, and then crossed the clear path.

Fortunately, although my heart ached a little this time, it was not obvious, probably because it was only the rubber of the pacifier.

Zhao Yuanzhen put the bottle away, held the baby, and started feeding her milk powder.

The baby took a sip and found it delicious, so he started drinking it without even opening his eyes.

After he ate 30 ml, Zhao Yuanzhen didn't dare to feed him more.

After burping the baby, she fell asleep.

He put her next to Qian Xiaohui, took the crib and made it.

I put the baby in the stroller, covered it with a thin blanket, and placed it next to Li Zhijuan's bed.

Then he went out and asked Baizhi and the others to go in and take good care of her.

She was going to feed another little one.

Qian Xiaohui's milk was indeed not much, so she made some milk powder and started feeding the baby.

"Mom, what is this? Milk?"

Qian Xiaohui watched her feeding the baby with a small bottle and felt a little curious.

"This is milk powder, which contains cow's milk."

"It's good that the baby doesn't starve. I was thinking of making some rice oil to feed him."

"No need. Just feed this. I'll teach you how to feed it tomorrow. It's too late today. You should have a good rest in a while."

"Okay, mother."

I also fed the baby 30.

She burped the little one, coaxed him to sleep, put him in the crib, asked Bai Wei to come in and take care of him, and told Qian Xiaohui to have a good rest.

Zhao Yuanzhen went back to sleep. It was already past 2 o'clock after all this trouble.

I set an alarm for 3 hours and she fell asleep.
