"What is stinky tofu? Is it edible?" Naya asked curiously. Simon and her sister didn't have such a thing.
Xiao Jing likes this one, but it's just because it's so smelly that those self-proclaimed noble men generally don't eat it, and if they do, they eat it secretly in private. Brother Chunyu is a person who is nauseated when he smells this stench. He is holding a bag of stinky tofu and looks like he is afraid of being snatched away. Isn't this strange
"Stinky tofu is a snack that smells bad and tastes delicious. As long as you dare to take a bite, I guarantee you will fall in love with it. However, most people don't dare to eat it and stay away." Xiao Jing said with a smile.
"Ah... Then I want to try it." Naya has always been bold, and her interest immediately increased when she heard about this challenging food.
Xia Chunyu said without hesitation: "No."
Naya was embarrassed for a while. She didn't expect Chunyu to refuse so bluntly. It was so shameless.
"Brother Chunyu, you are too stingy! Isn't it just a few pieces of stinky tofu?" Xiao Jing became more and more sure that there was something wrong here.
Chunyu is not a stingy person, but he is a rare treasure. As long as Naya asks, he will give it to him, but he is reluctant to give it a few pieces of stinky tofu. There is no doubt that Chunyu is eager to buy stinky tofu. Who else? Asking Brother Chunyu to buy stinky tofu is like daring to put out a fire? Who else can make Brother Chunyu hold stinky tofu like a treasure
There is no one else but Yaoyao.
Chunfeng touched his nose and looked at his second brother sympathetically: "Second brother, it's better to tell him, we can't hide it."
Xia Chunyu said bitterly: "This is what your sister Yaoyao wants to eat. She is pregnant and can't eat anything. She finally remembered to eat stinky tofu."
Xiaojing and Naya were stunned for a long time before they came back to their senses. They asked in unison: "Is Sister Yaoyao happy?"
"Jinxuan is pregnant?"
"Don't tell anyone. She is so sick right now that she can't smell anything. She hasn't eaten for several days and is hanging on by just a mouthful of water." Xia Chunyu said.
Xiaojing danced with joy: "Oh, I'm going to be an uncle, that's great, this... this is such a big happy event! I have to go and say hello to her as soon as possible."
Naya nodded hurriedly: "It turns out that she was hiding at home because she was so happy that I almost ran to Yangzhou to find her."
Xia Chunyu stepped forward and blocked Xiao Jing's path: "If you want to congratulate me, you should take a bath and change clothes first. You can't have any fragrance on your body. You can't wear fragrant clothes. You can't eat food with spices. Her nose is now bigger than My nose is numb, and I will vomit when I smell it."
Xiao Jing was stunned: "Is there such a thing?"
Xia Chunyu said depressedly: "Have you not noticed that I have lost weight these days? I eat green vegetables, tofu and white rice every day. I don't even eat meat. What do you think?"
Chunfeng proved to the second brother: "It's true. No one in our family dares to use incense now, and even rouge and gouache can't be used. So I hid it from you, thinking that I would tell everyone after the second sister-in-law's reaction is not so strong. of."
When Naya heard that even rouge and gouache could no longer be used, she couldn't help but touch her face, smell the fragrance on her body, and said, "Forget it, I'll come see her tomorrow."
Anyway, the words had been spoken, and Chunyu became rude: "I have to bring food to Yaoyao first, otherwise it won't taste good when it's cold. I'm sorry, I haven't had a bite of delicious food in more than ten days..."
After taking two steps, he turned back and said solemnly: "Remember, don't tell anyone, otherwise this or that will come to your door, you have to deal with it yourself."
Xiao Jing smiled and nodded: "I understand, I won't say anything."
It's great. Yaoyao is finally happy. After taking so many medicines, everyone has been looking forward to it for so long. The ancestors chant sutras and pray for her in front of the Bodhisattva every day. Now, finally, all the wishes have come true. If our ancestors knew this good news, they would definitely be speechless.
However, in order to let Yaoyao rest, it is better to hide it first!
Ye Jiayao lay weakly on the couch, listening to what was going on outside, and couldn't help but swallow her saliva. Where did this guy go? Do you know that your son is starving to death
Qiao Xi also stood at the door and looked around, hoping for the stars and the moon, hoping that the prince would come back soon.
"Yao Yao, Yaoyao..."
Suddenly Chunyu's shout sounded outside.
Qiao Xi said happily: "My lord, you are finally back."
"Wait, hurry up, it's still hot!" Xia Chunyu hurriedly handed the stinky tofu to Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi held it up to the second young mistress.
Ye Jiayao complained: "Why have you been gone for so long?"
Xia Chunyu wiped his sweat, half because he was in a hurry, and half because he was anxious by Xiao Jing just now.
"Unfortunately, the old man's stinky tofu was sold out. I went to his house to get it, ready-made for frying. Thanks to Xiao Jing's horse, otherwise, it wouldn't be here now."
It turned out that this was the case. Ye Jiayao felt a little more comfortable. It was not Chunyu Moji, but the stinky tofu was sold out.
As soon as the paper package was opened, the unique fragrance of stinky tofu spread out. Ye Jiayao took a deep breath, it smelled so good...
For the first time in more than ten days, I felt like I had a big appetite.
"Give it to me quickly..." Ye Jiayao couldn't wait.
Qiao Xi quickly loaded the plates and gave them chopsticks.
Ye Jiayao picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. She felt that the outside was crispy, the inside was tender, and the aroma was overflowing. It was so delicious, it was simply the best delicacy in the world!
Xia Chunyu and Qiao Xi both looked at her nervously, ready to catch her in a spittoon as soon as she vomited.
Unexpectedly, Ye Jiayao ate one piece after another, and the food tasted extremely sweet.
Xia Chunyu's heart dropped. For the first time, he could not help but burst into tears while watching Yaoyao eating. It was so difficult!
In the past few days, Yaoyao couldn't eat, couldn't sleep well, and vomited frequently. His heart was so painful! He wished he could suffer in her place, but he couldn't. This feeling of anxiety and helplessness could drive a person crazy.
He even thought that if this continued, it would be better not to have this child.
"Yaoyao, is it delicious?" Xia Chunyu asked cautiously.
Ye Jiayao nodded while eating and said vaguely: "It's delicious. I just want to eat this."
Xia Chunyu said happily: "That's good. I've already made an agreement with the old man selling stinky tofu and asked him to give you a hundred yuan every day."
Ye Jiayao's eyes widened, one hundred yuan a day? Thinking she is a pig, how can she eat so much
I felt full immediately and couldn't eat any more.
Ye Jiayao put the bowl down and looked at him resentfully: "Why did you say a hundred yuan? Why?"
Xia Chunyu was confused: "What's the matter? It's rare that there is something you want to eat, so naturally the more the merrier."
Ye Jiayao was about to cry but had no tears: "But when I heard one hundred yuan, I suddenly didn't want to eat it."
Xia Chunyu opened his mouth, but found that he had lost the ability to speak. He really didn't know what to say. It's just that a pregnant woman has weird taste. Why can't she even say random things
How can you live like this!
Xia Chunyu quickly made amends: "Then I ask him to give me ten yuan?"
"No, I have lost my appetite and I don't want to eat anymore." Ye Jiayao said with a tearful voice.
"No, just pretend I didn't say that, okay?"
"No, I have already heard it, and your son has also heard it. He said no more." Ye Jiayao fell weakly on the pillow, touching her belly and looking at the sky, feeling miserable and having nothing to eat again...
Xia Chun was so anxious that he was sweating. He really wanted to slap himself in the face. Why were you talking so much
Qiao Xi also looked at the prince complainingly. What kind of merit could he get? It made the second young mistress unable to eat any more.
However, a few pieces of stinky tofu still opened the door to Ye Jiayao's appetite. Stinky winter melon, stinky cabbage sum, stinky shrimp paste, moldy tofu... in short, they were all smelly things. In fact, what Ye Jiayao wanted to eat most was durian, but unfortunately she was pregnant. No one in Song Dynasty had ever heard of this kind of fruit. Ye Jiayao was so greedy that she drooled, but she could only endure it.
Xia Chunyu was speechless about Ye Jiayao's peculiar taste. Every time he saw her eating with gusto, he would even say confidently that when your son wanted to eat, he wanted to pull this brat out of his mother's belly and beat him up. pause.
You stinky boy, it’s not enough to torment your mother, you also have to torment your father. If your mother stops vomiting, your father will vomit, do you understand
Youshi is also worried. She eats these things every day and her nutrition cannot keep up. She has never seen a pregnant woman who likes to eat such smelly food. Grandson, why don't you know how to enjoy it? There are so many delicious foods in the world, ugh...it’s really speechless.
Forget it, after this period is over, she must make up for her unborn grandson.
Ever since she found out that Ye Jiayao was pregnant, Naya came here every once in a while, keeping in mind the three no-nos: no incense, no rouge and gouache, and no talking about what she ate.
Ye Jiayao welcomed Naya very much, because Naya was so greedy when she saw her making small clothes and so on, and she also said that she wanted to learn to be a needlework. In Simon, women did not pay much attention to being a needlework, as long as they could do rough needlework. , and she has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she doesn't know how to needle or thread. The little clothes are really cute. I also heard that women here like to embroider purses and sachets for their loved ones to express their love. He thought about it and vowed to embroider a sachet and give it to He Lianxuan before he came back.
The two of them did needlework together. Firstly, they had company to talk to, and the days passed quickly. Secondly, Naya's needlework turned out to be worse than hers.
Human nature is like this. Once you feel that someone is worse than you and you have someone at the bottom, you will feel balanced in your heart.
Ye Jiayao herself was a dabbler, but she also gave guidance to Naya. One taught seriously, and the other learned humbly. The two enjoyed it.
"Jinxuan, what do you think of my mandarin duck's embroidery?"
"Are you a mandarin duck? I thought it was a duck!"
"Naya, look at the lotus flowers I embroidered..."
"This is too rough. It doesn't look like a lotus at all, but more like a lotus leaf..."
So, the two of them dismantled it and started over again.
It only made Qiao Xi and others burst into laughter.
And after Xia Chunyu saw Naya's needlework, he no longer dared to laugh at Yaoyao. Well, there is always a mountain lower. His wife is at least better than He Lianxuan's, so he is satisfied.
