Men, listen, grab the top of the mountain and stand in the center position

There are stir-fried lotus stems with meat, cold lotus stems, especially the cold lotus stems soaked in warm water with salt, vinegar and pepper overnight, which are sour, spicy, numb, crispy and sweet. Wangshu ate two meals and immediately had them trial-sold in Shuyuan, and all customers can try them.

For a time, lotus stems with this taste were more expensive than meat.

Mr. Ji, who was extremely stingy, brought his mother to stay for dinner under the pretext of visiting their daughter.

It wasn't rice, it was lotus stems. It wasn't stir-fried lotus stems, it was specifically a dish of cold lotus stems.

Qin Xiuyuan couldn't stop it, he just watched as the soup became less and less, and quickly signaled Chun Yang to order another plate. But it was difficult for Chun Yang, because except for the two plates he made at home, the rest were sent to the inn to sell. Before noon, a maid came to the inn and said that the soup was not enough and asked him to make more.

The lotus stems that the old man sent over are still soaking in water in the jar!

The two sisters didn't eat enough. When the two elders came home, Ji Laoer ran into the room to play. Wangshu had just finished washing up, and seeing her cautiously lift her clothes to touch her, she let her do it.

The little fat boy touched the bulging round belly with his hands and drew circles around it, "Sister, mother said that the one you are pregnant with is my nephew."

Wangshu was furious. These two elders were younger than him, and their child had to call this chubby little girl, who was six or seven years older than them, "Auntie." How could Li Wanting tolerate this?

Qin Xiuyuan, who came in with a midnight snack, corrected the little guy, "Le Le, we don't know whether it's a boy or a girl, it might be my niece."

"Brother-in-law, my mother asked someone to calculate the fortune and they all said it was a child..."

The word "子" is very long. She has been living on both sides with a school bag on her back recently and has mastered first-hand intelligence information.

"How many people said this, and how much money was cheated out of it?"

When Ji Laoer heard that something was wrong, he ran away as fast as he could.

He refused to eat the midnight snack he was fed, saying, "I said I don't want to eat, so what's the point?"

"I'm worried you're hungry." Qin Xiuyuan held her back and sat down, lifting her clothes and continuing to play with her. It's almost five months, and the old doctor said it's safe. "Shushu, I've found two midwives. There are also two wet nurses. You can choose one when the time comes."

So early? "It's only been a while... it's next year!"

"Prepare in advance. Let the wet nurse eat more nutritious meals so that she can produce more milk. An experienced midwife will come to check on the pregnancy."

Come to think of it. Wangshu didn't want to breastfeed for a long time, so some poor women who were breastfeeding would become wet nurses. "Wet nurses should be from couples who are chaste, not first-time mothers, and not those who have lost their children..."

New mothers have little experience in childbirth, and breastfeeding can easily transmit diseases. If the wet nurse is in a bad mood, the milk will not be good either.

Qin Xiuyuan considered it carefully and felt that neither of the two candidates fit the bill. One was a first-time married woman with two children, but her husband's wife died of illness two years ago. The other's husband had lost his fortune through prostitution and gambling, and needed her to be a wet nurse.

"You're very thoughtful. I'll go look for it later."

Actually, when she thought about it, there weren't many suitable ones. When she thought about the doll biting and sucking on her, her chest started to hurt and it was so uncomfortable.

Qin Xiuyuan rubbed her rather magnificent soft flesh and said, "I will find it."

I know that babies suck milk very hard, and sometimes they bite until it bleeds. When I think about it, that part of him starts to hurt too.

"Be careful. Bring more people with you and be more careful. Some people are worse than on the battlefield. In your position, life is a battlefield everywhere."

The man nodded seriously, then smiled as he thought of something: "Some brothers in the camp call me the cowardly general." He was always in full armor and carried a sword. Whenever he went in and out with his troops, there would always be guards around him. Those people didn't even know that he was wearing a breastplate under his armor.

"It's too late to be afraid before you die. What's the use of being called a hero? Who will take care of his family, wife and children?"

Her family was exploited, her wife and children were repossessed, and she was treated like animals. Her cousin's husband died in battle, and she followed him into the army, and now she had no idea what was happening to him. Fugui couldn't get any information, only that she had followed him to Longzhou.

At night, the man was a little slow, and Wangshu could not kneel any longer. He twisted his body to make someone let go, revealing the howling man with a hot face.

He looked at his wife's belly with both love and gnashing of teeth.

This made Wangshu laugh.

"...Just laugh at me!"

Wangshu is happy. The more uncomfortable a man is, the happier she is.

When she was six months pregnant, her belly had grown, but she still went out. She just didn't take a carriage. Qin Xiuyuan accompanied her and walked slowly from the mansion to the inn. It was cold, so people wore two layers of clothes. In addition, her face was small and thin, and her bulging belly was covered by thick clothes. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't realize that it was a pregnant woman with a big belly.

But everyone still recognized the guard general who was always in helmet and armor. There had been bumper rice harvests for two consecutive years. Not to mention Qin Xiuyuan, even Tietou Er and Si San, who took the lead in planting crops in the fields, were now called "Tie Ye" and "Si Ye" by everyone they saw.

So Wangshu asked these two popular people to stand at the door and sell lotus seeds and lotus roots for her.

The rice was stored in the warehouse. Father Ji, who had a holiday, brought his second son Ji to the door and shouted: "Lotus root, lotus root, soft and chewy, three cents a piece, three cents a piece!"

Whole lotus roots, broken and small lotus roots, lotus seeds, dried lotus pods, and dried lotus leaves were neatly arranged in their own piles, each categorized by type. Popularity was a draw. Wangshu leaned sideways on his hands and looked down from the second floor. A maid carrying a straw basket bought a long lotus root, and Ji Laoer took three coins for it. An old man in straw sandals picked out two sections of broken lotus root that looked good, and Ji Laoer also took one coin for it... Someone pulled up with a small cart. Tietouer turned around and soon carried a large bundle of cleanly washed whole lotus roots in each hand and put them on the cart. Ji Shou also ran over with a notebook for someone to mark. "Manager Zhou, this is the total of two hundred today."

As the manager of Zhou Yousihai Restaurant, this was the only big deal that Ji Shou had managed to get from the lotus root. He was supplied with 200 four-section lotus roots a day, each costing three cents, for a month.

Behind this restaurant is the Liang family, the richest family in the South. Look at the difference. She earns pennies on the dollar, while if someone else married into the Liang family, they could directly open a treasury and have as much money as they want.

"Manager Ji, you're already selling them for three cents each! My agreement is still three cents. Our boss is suffering a huge loss!"

Ji Shou exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Ouch!" "Manager Zhou, you are saying this in front of these first-cut lotus roots from the river and swamp, which are as thick as a little arm. These roots are carefully selected, washed clean, without a speck of mud, counted and tied, and you tell me whether our lotus roots are good or not!"

Manager Zhou looked at the lotus root and nodded, "It is indeed a good lotus root. Just the market price..."

"Manager Zhou, you don't know this. Other restaurants haven't booked with us, so they send people out to the fields to pick them. They're covered in mud and water, and they have to wash the lotus roots themselves. We old farmers know right away when we touch them. They're Boss Zhou's lotus roots, so we hand them over to you, wash them, and don't even show them to anyone!"

Wangshu chuckled when she heard this. These words came from her mouth, then from Ji Shou's mouth, and finally she heard them. She waited for Manager Zhou to ask again. She had taught Ji Shou several sentences!
