Seeing that the plum blossoms on Han Xu's hands were getting darker and darker, while his own remained unchanged, Luo Fei almost forgot that his own flowers might also change color, but why did they change at this time? Is it because the kid kicked that? Or are these two things purely coincidental
Xi Yanqing couldn't figure out why, but it was because he couldn't figure it out that he was even more uneasy, so he gave Luo Fei the anti-abortion pill that Shi Shi brought.
Luo Fei didn't feel anything special after eating it, but Xi Yanqing was still worried, and asked Dr. Liang to come and take a look.
"How about Uncle Liang, is the child okay?" Xi Yanqing held Luo Fei's hand, his face was calm, but his heart was tight.
"Okay, why not?" Doctor Liang took a pulse and looked at Luo Fei's face, "Er Bao, do you feel any discomfort?"
"No, I think it's pretty good." Luo Fei felt that when he was not pregnant before, it was not as good as it is now. I have an appetite for everything I see, and I want to sleep when I get there. Everything is pleasing to the eye. Anyway, happy!
"Xi Xiaozi, don't panic, Erbao is very good. Small is also very good." Dr. Liang didn't even prescribe the prescription, "In the future, just continue to pay attention not to catch cold, and don't get too hot, It's okay."
"That's good, it scared me to death. We were nervous when we suddenly saw the color of his plum blossom changed. We were afraid that something would happen to the child and Erbao." Xi Yanqing thought to himself that there were no modern advanced instruments here. I don't know what the child is like, so I can't blame him for being nervous. He was so nervous.
"This flower, when Erbao was not pregnant, his mother came to ask me about it. I also told her at the time, it's okay. I have seen the same as Erbao before, and they finally have a baby. Although I haven't really asked when the color of this flower changed, both the baby and the adults are fine." Dr. Liang got up, "As I said, don't pay too much attention to this, just take good care of it. "
"Be sure to take good care of it. Please go all the way and make another toss." Xi Yanqing helped Dr. Liang well, "I will send you off."
"Don't worry now?" Luo Fei said with a smile when Xi Yanqing sent people back and came back, "I'm nervous."
"Where is the tension? It's obvious that you have a big heart." Xi Yanqing helped Luo Fei to tuck the quilt away, "Go to sleep, you can finally rest assured."
"Hmm, where's my special pillow? Bring it here!" Luo Fei hooked his hands.
"Understood, Lord!" Xi Yanqing undressed and lay beside him, carefully hugging Luo Fei and letting Luo Fei fall asleep on his arm.
I don't know when the problem started, and I had to lean on his arm to sleep honestly.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Luo Fei to fall asleep, and his warm breath hit Xi Yanqing's arm.
Since this day, Xi Yanqing has also had a problem, that is, when he has nothing to do, he likes to touch Luo Fei's head to see if he is burning, or ask him if he feels any discomfort.
He listened to Dr. Liang's words thoroughly. He couldn't be cold, he couldn't be hot, and to put it bluntly, he couldn't catch a cold.
Well, that's what he understood anyway.
Xi Yanqing planned to turn around and ask Shi Shi.
I thought about asking Shi Shi before, why the plum blossoms in Luo Fei's hands were light in color. And he didn't ask because he didn't care whether Luo Fei could have children at first, but after he had it, he felt that it didn't matter whether the bonus was red or not, anyway, Luo Fei was healthy. But now, he was really curious.
During the New Year period, Shi Shi and Li Siyuan also did not go out because Li Siyuan was inconvenient to travel, but the visitors at home kept coming. The couple made extensive friends and knew a lot of people.
It wasn't until the tenth day of the first day that the guests who were supposed to be greeted and sent off would be finished, and Shi Shi was considered to have some free time. Coincidentally, Xi Yanqing also happened to come to the door this day.
"You mean, the child kicked Luo Fei before the plum blossom on his hand suddenly turned red, right?" Shi Shi heard Xi Yanqing's question, his face was the same, as if he just heard someone say what to eat in the morning As usual.
"Yes, I happened to touch his stomach at the time, and I clearly felt it." Xi Yanqing couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"That has nothing to do with the color of the plum blossoms on his hand or not," Shi Shi said.
"But it has to do with the gender of your child." Li Siyuan said with a smile, "Xi Di, you and Luo Fei's first child should be a boy."
"How to be sure?"
"Generally speaking, the plum blossoms after the little brother are born have colors, dark or light, but very few are as light as Luo Fei. But over the years, my brother Shi and I have seen several such little brothers outside. They They are all the same in the first pregnancy. Later, when the baby is four or five months old in the womb, there will be changes. Some people will only change color in six or seven months. Generally, if the color turns red, that is a little man. , if it doesn't change, then it's a daughter, if there's only a little change, then it's very likely to have a little brother." Li Siyuan said, "I thought you didn't ask because you knew this."
"I don't know. Many people in the village think that light color is difficult to conceive." Xi Yanqing thought about it, wasn't Luo Fei's original body jumping into the river because of this? But now that I think about it, I have to thank you for this, otherwise how could it be possible for him and Luo Fei to be together.
"There are not many young brothers, and Luo Fei is even rarer, so it is not surprising that most people have misunderstandings about this. But the light color of plum blossoms is by no means difficult to conceive, but it can inform you in advance. The gender of the child. As for the ability to conceive a child, it is no different from other younger brothers."
"Thank you, Brother Shi, Brother Li, for clarifying the doubts. We have been wondering about this for a long time." Xi Yanqing smiled, "After that, it would be convenient to prepare the children's clothes." I wasn't sure about having boys or girls before, so the clothes I made were all biased. Neutral, and nothing embroidered on them. Now Luo Fei would be happy if he knew, because he didn't have to worry about being more beautiful or handsome.
"I haven't seen Luo Fei for a long time. When the weather warms up, I have to go see him." Li Siyuan got up, "Then let's talk slowly, I'll see if Chang Le is awake."
Xi Yanqing nodded, and then took out an envelope. He wrote the method of making ice cream and some of his own ideas in it. Some were afraid that he would forget after that stage, and some were what Luo Fei thought, so he simply wrote them down on paper.
From time to time, some ideas popped up in Luo Fei's mind. For example, two days ago, he thought of adding food to the ice cream.
I remember that there is a kind of ice cream called "oat ice cream", which is filled with oatmeal grains, and sometimes one is very fragrant.
There are also red bean ice cream and mung bean ice cream, which can be made after grinding.
There is also the famous Laba porridge ice cream! Xi Yanqing remembered that he had eaten this when he was still in elementary school. He liked the big peanuts in it the most!
There is a lot of content written, but Shi Shi read it quickly, and after a brief glance, he talked to Xi Yanqing about the details.
"Fuyue Building opened again on the eighth day of the first lunar month, and their boss even sent a guy to ask me if I could continue delivering the ice cream. I was thinking of asking you if you have any new ideas recently. You'd be better off, I'll deliver it at once. So many new ideas." Shi Shi was also convinced, what were these two thinking about? What I came up with is strange, but it makes people feel a sense of expectation. Red bean paste ice cream? I really didn't think about it.
"Because of time constraints, I haven't had time to try too much, but what I said above must be done." Xi Yanqing even bought the beans, "But now I have a problem and I need Brother Shi's help."
"Need tooth powder, right?"
"Yes, if it's getting warmer today, the ice cream should be unfrozen soon. But when Luo Fei and I try these new ideas, we must always have conditions that can be frozen."
"My brother Li and I also thought about this before, so we plan to put a batch of tooth powder on your side. You can make ice and ice cream by yourself."
"That would be better." Xi Yanqing said, "I plan to build a new house this year, and then I will build a small ice cellar in the yard for making ice cream."
"Okay, if there is anything you need help with, Brother Xi, just say something." Shi Shi put the things Xi Yanqing wrote to him in an envelope and put them away again, and talked with Xi Yanqing about the content.
For the ice-making part, the two had already negotiated years ago that they would share the net profit with Qing and Luo Fei. 10% doesn’t sound like much, but this piece of upfront investment is borne by Shi Shi alone, building the ice cellar, clearing the relationship, and registering—yes, they have to register as if they want to sell ice, just like registering a company, they have to register with the official Put on your name.
In short, Shi Shi took a lot of risks and had to do a lot of work, so 10% was actually not a lot for Xi Yanqing. As for the ice cream, this Shi Shi intends to give more to Xi Yanqing and Luo Fei, because these two not only come up with recipes, but also have a steady stream of ideas in the future. Yan Qing and Luo Fei.
Xi Yanqing naturally had no objections, so he signed a contract with Shi Shi.
Originally, Xi Yanqing thought that it didn't matter whether there was a written agreement or not, but Shi Shi was very particular, so he got two contracts. Divide them 20% of the net profit. Both sides also drew a bet.
I have to say, this makes it more formal.
Xi Yanqing had a good contract, and when he left Shifu, he felt like he was embarking on a new journey.
"How about Brother Xi? Are you busy?" Jing Rong asked. He came out with Xi Yanqing today to ask if there is any restaurant in this town that accepts mutton.
"I'm busy. Have you finished asking?"
"After asking, the shopkeepers in several restaurants said that they regularly deliver mutton to their restaurants, and they usually only sell two or three sheep in a month, and there are not many customers eating mutton, and the day after tomorrow. The warmer it is, the less it will be." Jing Rong rarely showed a slightly depressed look, "There are only four or five restaurants with good business in this town, and none of them will be accepted.
"Have you been to Fuyue Building?"
"I've been there and talked to the shopkeeper, but I haven't seen the boss."
"Let's go, come with me again. You didn't eat at noon, right?" Shi Shi had left Xi Yanqing to eat before leaving, but Xi Yanqing thought about Jingrong's side and declined. , I just happened to go to Fuyue Building to have a meal, and it was also a New Year's greeting to the owner and shopkeeper of Fuyue Building.
"Yo, isn't this Brother Xi?" Shopkeeper Hong's eyes were sharp, and Xi Yanqing watched before he entered the door, "Why are you free to come here today? But you brought ice cream again?" Shopkeeper Hong looked behind Xi Yanqing. Look, I didn't look at the ice cream, I looked at the person I met in the morning.
"I didn't bring any ice cream today. I brought a friend here, just to have a meal with you." Xi Yanqing found a clean place to sit down, "Please ask the guys to make all the mutton dishes in your store. Give me the last one."
"Just eat mutton?!" The shopkeeper looked at Jing Rong, who hadn't spoken since he entered the door, with a puzzled expression, "Brother Xi, what do you mean?"
"Let's see which is delicious, don't think too much, just do as I say. In addition, two bowls of plain noodles." Xi Yanqing asked Jingrong, "Can you Jingrong?"
"Yes. But is it too much to have one serving of all the mutton dishes?" The names of the dishes here are engraved on the wooden boards and hung on the wall. When he came here before, he had seen that there were five kinds of mutton dishes. Where can I finish eating with Xi Yanqing? Luo Yong is still almost there.
"Not much." Xi Yanqing said to the shopkeeper: "Manager Hong, please explain to the buddy again. After a while, half of the dishes will be served on the table, and half will be wrapped up. I will bring them back to my wife to taste."
"Okay, the two of you will sit slowly first."
After a while, someone brought tea first, and even gave an extra plate of snacks.
Xi Yanqing and Jing Rong were not polite. They were tired this morning, so they ate a snack with tea. During the period, Jing Rong asked incomprehensibly, "Brother Xi, why do you want so many mutton dishes?"
Even if it's really because you want to bring half of it to Brother Qi, you don't have to ask for mutton, right? They didn't eat mutton less during the Chinese New Year, and they didn't see his brother Qi particularly like to eat mutton. All I can say is ok.
Xi Yanqing said, "Try the taste and see if it's different from what your brother Qi did."
In fact, Xi Yanqing wanted to say that since he couldn't sell the raw one, he would think about it later to see if he could sell the cooked one. But now that Luo Fei is not there, he is not sure whether the mutton dishes here are cooked well or not, so I will not talk about it for now.
Xi Yanqing felt that Luo Fei had a good life as a child, he had eaten a lot, had been to a lot of places, and definitely had a lot of ideas about various dishes, otherwise he would not be able to come up with new tricks from time to time at home. . What if these tricks were applied to mutton
Fuyue Lou's mutton includes braised lamb chops, mutton stewed with radish, shredded mutton, roasted lamb shank, and scallion-flavored mutton slices.
According to Shopkeeper Hong, these are their best sellers, and most of the other stores in the town follow these practices.
Xi Yanqing looked at these dishes and felt that the appearance was good, but when they tasted, he honestly felt that they were not as delicious as his Luo Fei. Although they are all mutton, the meat here is rather muted and the meat is a bit old.
Jing Rong also felt that the mutton here is not as delicious as his, and it can't compare with Luo Fei's cooking. It's just that he can't say that in other people's land.
Xi Yanqing ate a few bites of each, and finally ate the bowl of plain noodles. He asked Shopkeeper Hong, "Manager Hong, are all these restaurants in our town collecting sheep in one place?"
Shopkeeper Hong said, "It's basically the same. Brother Xi, what are you asking about?"
Xi Yanqing smiled: "It's nothing, you can settle the bill."
Shopkeeper Hong counted the money and sighed: "Brother Xi, I didn't know that this little brother was your friend before. But I really don't have a good idea about the sheep he said. We have a relationship with Yunji Butcher's in our store. We’ve ordered sheep for more than two years, so it’s impossible to just change another family, right? Every business has its own rules.”
Xi Yanqing knew about Yunji Butcher Shop. He first bought meat at the morning market or there. It can be said that this Yunji Butcher Shop is the largest butcher shop in this town. Not only does it sell everything, but the price is also reasonable. As for the quality of meat, it can only be said that a few are about the same. But I don't know if it's because of the variety, Xi Yanqing always felt that the mutton they ate today was not as fresh and tender as the ones they ate at home.
"I also asked my brother to ask with the mentality of giving it a try. But you are right, each line of business has its own rules." Xi Yanqing picked up the wrapped mutton, "I'm afraid there is no ice cream recently, but again It should be available in a few days. Boss Huihui Shi should contact you. If you are busy, I will go back first."
"Okay, come here often when you have time." Shopkeeper Hong sent Xi Yanqing to the door.
"Manager Hong, where did you send those two people away just now?" After Xi Yanqing and Jing Rong went out, a young man in his twenties said with a glass of wine, "I look a little weird."
"Young Master Luo, you haven't been to the store recently. Maybe you haven't seen it before. The tall man there is a friend of Boss Shi." Shopkeeper Hong said respectfully, "Previously, our store sold them. He made the ice cream."
"Oh? Really? Then do you know where this man lives?"
"It is said that he lives in Huaping Village, but I don't know the details."
"Shishi will have a friend like him?" The unhappy little brother glared at the door, "A poor and sour look."
Shopkeeper Hong frowned upon hearing this, but did not refute. It's not that I agree with this person, but the temper of the second young master of the Luo family, he can't afford to offend. Back then, the second son of the Luo family was saved by Shi Shi, and he has since wanted to marry Shi Shi. But Shi Shi liked Li Siyuan, and was very angry with the second young master Luo. Now he is twenty-two years old and has not been married yet, and he doesn't know what to dream about.
The eldest young master of the Luo family glared at the second brother: "Can you not be so mean when you speak? If it is like this, I won't take you out next time."
Only then did the second young master of the Luo family focus on eating.
Xi Yanqing didn't know that people were dissatisfied with his "poor and sour look", so when he got home, he gave Luo Fei all the things he bought in the town. There are sesame candy, sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and a few feet of fabric for the children. The color is more suitable for boys. He was in no hurry to bring the mutton out to Luo Fei.
Luo Fei touched the fabric: "Why did you buy fabric again? Isn't the child's clothes and diapers all finished?"
Xi Yanqing told Luo Fei what Shi Shi and his wife said: "You can make it bigger, wear it in autumn, or wear it in winter."
Previously, Luo Fei was wearing it in summer, because the child was expected to be born at the end of June in the lunar calendar, and it would definitely be hot at that time.
Luo Fei expressed doubts: "Is it true or false?"
Can you tell gender just by looking at a flower
"Anyway, Big Brother Shi and Big Brother Li said so." Xi Yanqing smiled, "It really is a little tiger, afraid of heat and able to eat meat."
"Speaking of meat..." Luo Fei sniffed at Xi Yanqing, "Brother Qing, you smell like mutton."
"Can you smell this?!" He had walked so far in the cold wind, "Daughter-in-law, are you a dog's nose?!"
"It's not me who belongs to the dog. It's obviously your son. He should smell it." Luo Fei touched his nose.
"No. It's not going well for Jingrong. The restaurants in the town don't sell a lot of mutton, and they are all delivered on time. It's not easy for them to receive Jingrong's sheep." Holding Luo Fei's hand, "So I packed some mutton dishes from Fuyue Building and brought them back. You can try them later to see if you have any inspiration."
"Actually, isn't it good to sell hot pot?"
"But the best season to sell hot pot is in winter, but there are too few vegetables in winter here. Also, if you really open a hot pot restaurant, who will manage it?" Jing Rong wants to raise sheep, and they can't be free to go there. Management, who will open it
"Then what should we do? Will the sheep not be sold?"
"Sell it. I'm wondering if it can be made into mutton jerky or something. It's the kind of air-dried jerky that can be stored for a long time and can be used as a snack."
"Yeah, you can have this one!" Luo Fei said, "It just so happens that the mutton that Jing Rong brought last time has leftovers. I'll try it later! Brother Qing, go and melt the mutton in the house first."
"Okay, do you use anything else?"
"Wait, don't change for now. I'll change it tomorrow. I want to go see Han Xu tomorrow. I'm afraid I won't have time to do it during the day." Han Xu will give birth soon, Luo Fei thought. Go and see Han Xu. Because it was inconvenient to go out, they both hadn't seen each other for several days.
He remembered that the last time he saw Han Xu, Han Xu's belly was very big, as if he had buckled his washbasin. He was a little shocked when he saw it. Mainly because he thought that he might be like this in the future, and he couldn't tell how nervous he was, so he decided to take a look again, maybe he would get used to it after watching it a few more times
But later it turned out that Luo Fei should not go to see Han Xu on that day, because Han Xu was born prematurely, and it was that morning, and when Luo Fei went, it was the most difficult time for Han Xu.
Luo Fei heard Han Xu's heart-breaking cry before he reached the gate of Han's house, which frightened him and grabbed Xi Yanqing's arm on the spot: "Brother Qing, can I, can I return it?! Please Return it!"
Ah ah ah ah ah! When killing pigs, the pigs didn't bark as loudly as Han Xu!
