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

The man was in a very good mood. At dinner, he coaxed his daughter into sweetly calling him "Daddy~", which was completely different from his son's soul-demanding "Daddy!!". He was in a sweet mood, holding his two children to sleep, and then shamelessly came back to stick to the woman and said some immoral words.

Wangshu pushed him and pulled him, "Goodbye." He was really scared. Even a candle couldn't stand burning like this all day long!

But men always have the ultimate weapon, and women will eventually lose because men are too good at grasping her preferences. When tears welled up in her eyes, Wangshu couldn't even hum a "no".

One meal you are hungry, one meal you are full, and one meal you are bloated to death!

There are a total of 10,000 soldiers accompanying the army this time, plus those who were recruited before going north, so there are more than 40,000 people whose food, drink, and defecation must be planned in the long term. In addition to transporting them north by land, Wangshu suggested dredging the waterways.

"If you can defend Luoyang, and Han Batian can defend Bazhou, then everything will be fine."

Luoyang is the starting point of the Grand Canal and its end point is Hangzhou County. The ownership of this large piece of land is temporarily determined. Qin Xiuyuan dared to let his wife and children go north because he was 80% sure that they could settle down.

"Don't worry."

The Grand Canal has been neglected for decades and is clogged with silt and garbage. Ships can navigate some short distances, but the silt is not clear and the stench is always strong, making it very easy for ships to run aground.

Wangshu was not worried. The big stud over there was holding Qin Xiuyuan's mother and calling her all kinds of names, but Qin Xiuyuan pretended to be deaf and dumb and did not respond or make contact. No matter how harsh the scolding was, he remained unmoved and kept his composure. Now he can even stay at home with his children, which shows that he really chose the right man and the right father for his children.

With this attitude, if the weather is not good one day, Wangshu will have to bear the consequences himself.

Now that she has left the house, opportunities and risks will follow.

As soon as the goods she brought this time were handed over, she quickly pushed the indecent man who was pestering her day and night back to work, rested and recuperated, and finally regained some interest in appreciating the flowers.

When he was off duty, Li Fugui came back with Qin Xiuyuan and caught the brother and sister who were watching ants on the tree and under the tree. "Look at the magic tricks Uncle Li performs for the brother and sister!" He took out two pairs of tiger-head shoes with red, green and pink colors and whiskers from his arms, which amused the fat man in the tree to slid down the tree trunk flexibly. He and his sister each chose a pair.

"I have big feet, sister, you should wear a small one!"

The tiger's eyes were made of a pair of small white pebbles with holes drilled in them and sewn together. A circle of white hairs covered the tiger's head, making it look vivid. The fat man took it and presented it to Wangshu as a treasure, "Mom! This is a gift from Uncle Li!"

The son couldn't wear shoes and ran around barefoot. Wangshu fetched water to wash him clean, changed him into Red Boy's clothes, tied his hair into pigtails with red ribbons, and then let him wear the new shoes and show off with his sister who was wearing a red jacket with white fur trim.

Wangshu, dressed in a reddish-brown ancient robe, followed into the main hall. Li Fugui and Zheng Da bowed to the mistress, each with their own lines, "Miss Wangshu!" "Madam, how are you!"

The baby showed off his new shoes and asked for a hug. Zheng Da picked up the fat boy who was obsessed with holding him high. The sister looked at the person who gave her a gift and stretched out her hand, half-reluctantly and half-reluctantly going over. Qin Xiuyuan pushed open the desk on the wide couch, patted the empty space beside him, and pulled the little woman to sit next to him.

"The tiger-head shoes cost Fugui most of his salary this month." Craftsmanship requires a lot of effort. Polishing the pair of small white stones took a lot of time and effort, and there was also the white hair. This craft is not easy.

"Fugui should be a father now. I have prepared a longevity lock for the baby long ago, and I will give it to him on our behalf when his mother comes to congratulate him." When she went north this time, Fugui's wife, who was in advanced pregnancy, was waiting to give birth at her parents' home in Jingcheng.

Not only the wealthy, but also a large number of generals and soldiers who married in Jingcheng began to become fathers and mothers. As the general's wife, Zhang San always reminded her to give away a lot of eggs and live chickens every month. In response to the pheasants raised on locusts, they were forced to take scalding hot baths during their confinement in Jingcheng, a plea for their lives. This time, when they went north, their entire family was exterminated and pickled in salt bags to make salted chicken. The chicken was delicious, and the salt could be sold for food, killing two birds with one stone.

"Thank you, Miss Wangshu. I wonder if my first baby will be a boy or a girl. I'm so blessed!"

Li Fugui blinked, "Zheng Da, stop being so sullen and quickly pick a wife from the Zhou, Liu, and Zhao families!" Without waiting for Zheng Da to reply, he feinted and encouraged Tang Bo, "Uncle Tang, you too, don't be single anymore. There are so many beautiful women in Luoyang!"

Several people exchanged arguments. Wangshu, who had never been out of the house, pulled the man aside and asked earnestly, "There must be many handsome men in aristocratic families, right?"

"Not as good as me."

Tsk! Wangshu rolled his eyes in annoyance and pushed him, "Speak properly!"

Qin Xiuyuan lowered his eyes and looked at her, as if to say, "I'm not lying to you, this is the truth," and emphasized, "The truth."

Bullshit, she didn't believe it. Eighteen-year-old girls are the most beautiful, and men in their early twenties are the freshest. He didn't understand at all, "Are the children of those high-class families all mediocre? You need to be multifaceted and discerning to identify talent!"

Wangshu saw Chunyang preparing to serve the dishes and stood up to take them.

A discerning eye for talent?! She was asking about a handsome man!!! Qin Xiuyuan was confused. What did this have to do with discerning eye?! She had always said she was a handsome man!

A few days ago, he was bragging in his room that he was the number one person in the world on the list of gifted combat power!

Tang Bo saw the young master standing there in confusion, touching his face and looking at his legs and arms, and he wanted to find a water tank to reflect his whole body. He quickly turned sideways: Madam praised him many years ago, and he really took it seriously until now!

Several special dishes were taught by a chef from Luoyanglou, including hot and sour soup, sliced ​​pork with soup, crispy pork, peony bird's nest, pot stickers, flower rolls, and hand-shredded pickled chicken, which were all placed on the table.

Wangcai, who was the first to try the food and ate half full, licked his lips, limped down with a ceramic bowl in his mouth, and lay down next to Wangshu, waiting to be fed with bones.

The baby is over two years old, and according to modern care methods, it is still necessary to reduce salt and sugar. In those days, it was not easy for ordinary people to eat salt and sugar. Wangshu usually has a strong taste, so he would eat it secretly away from the baby.

When dining at a large table like this, it's inevitable, so I just say directly, "You two have steamed buns, some pot stickers and meat soup, and this beautiful plate of cauliflower." The rest of the food is made with vinegar, sesame seeds, salt, and too many spices.

The two children, one fat and one thin, nodded obediently. The father checked their temperature, served the child half a bowl of meat soup, put some pot stickers and steamed buns on the plate between them, and took out a small bamboo tube wrapped in a handkerchief from his sleeve and put it in the soup bowl, letting the child, who was sitting on a high stool, play freely.

Wangshu, however, has a special liking for shredded salted chicken and hot and sour soup. Li Fugui also has a strong taste for food and neither of them would touch steamed buns.

The fat boy ate whatever his sister gave him. He watched Uncle Li slurping down the hot and sour soup and chewing the chicken leg with skin and bones until it was crispy. He then looked at his father, who was eating the meat in big mouthfuls, and then glanced at the chicken again.

Qin Xiuyuan knew his wife wouldn't allow the children to eat strong-flavored food. His son had a healthy stomach, but to accommodate his daughter's frailty, he treated them equally. He added water to his daughter's meat soup, then picked out the slices of meat and cut them into small pieces with a pair of scissors. He placed them in his daughter's small wooden spoon and whispered, "Erbao, eat slowly. Chew the meat thoroughly."

Seeing his son finish half a bowl, he poured him another half bowl, adding water to dilute it, and said, "Dabao, have a steamed bun." He also picked up some colorful bird's nest for him.

The fat man was a little unhappy, "Dad! I want to eat that!" and pointed at the salty and fragrant hand-shredded chicken.

Li Fugui thought that the mother was afraid that the chicken had bones and would not give it to the baby, so he tore off a small piece of pure meat and prepared to pass it to the baby. Tang Bo stopped him with his eyes, saying that the mistress was the mother's son and others should not interfere.
