Not long after they walked to the gazebo and sat down, Nian Xia brought Hu Juanjuan.
"Ma'am, you look pretty good today." Hu Juanjuan saw Li Qingling's smiling face.
"It's okay." Li Qingling smiled, "Madam Hu, sit down."
Hu Juanjuan sat down in response, put the jar she was holding on the stone table, and gently pushed it in front of Li Qingling, "Ma'am, I heard that your appetite is not good. This plum is made by a relative of mine. I am pregnant." I really like to eat this, why don't you try it?"
As soon as Li Qingling heard that it was a plum, Li Qingling's saliva involuntarily secreted.
She gently opened the lid of the jar, and the unique sour smell of plums wafted out instantly, making Li Qingling swallow hard after smelling it.
If she didn't swallow quickly, the saliva might flow out of the corner of her mouth.
"Sister, can you let me try one?" Li Qingning held her head high, looked at the jar of plums, and gulped.
Seeing how greedy she was, Li Qingling couldn't help laughing, took out two, stuffed one into Li Qingning's mouth and the other into Liu Zhirou's.
In an instant, the faces of the two little guys wrinkled into a ball, and they all cried out sourly.
Hu Juanjuan laughed and said that the plums were a bit sour, which is just right for pregnant women.
Hearing this, Li Qingling swallowed again, took out one, stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely, it's delicious.
tasty
Where is it delicious? It's so acidic that the teeth are about to fall out.
Li Qingning and Liu Zhirou couldn't help but spit out the plums, looked up at Li Qingling, seeing Li Qingling's expression of enjoyment, the two couldn't help shivering.
Think Li Qingling's taste is really strange, dare to eat it so sour
Hu Juanjuan glanced at Li Qingning and Liu Zhirou with a smile, and explained to them that the taste of pregnant women is a little different from that of ordinary people.
"Really?" Li Qingning turned to look at Hu Juanjuan with surprise on his face.
Hu Juanjuan nodded and said, it's true. When she was pregnant with her four sons, each of them had different tastes, and she ate them all.
Upon hearing this, Li Qingning's eyes widened, "What? You like to eat bitterness?" Mrs. Hu's taste is really... really special, she likes to eat bitterness.
Seeing Li Qingning's wide-eyed eyes and slightly open mouth, Hu Juanjuan's cuteness was hit. She couldn't help but reach out and touch Li Qingning's Baotou. She has always wanted a daughter, but it is a pity that she even gave birth to four sons .
"When I was pregnant, I liked to eat bitter things and thought they were delicious." At that time, she didn't know how much bitter melon she ate? After giving birth, I no longer dare to eat bitter melon.
"Ma...Brother Ma Li likes...likes suffering?" Brother Mari is too...too strange. He doesn't like to eat so many good things, but he likes to suffer. I don't know if he still likes it now? She must ask him next time.
"Yes, he likes to eat bitter." Hu Juanjuan couldn't help laughing when she thought of her youngest son, "He has always liked to eat bitter melon since he was a child." This taste...
After hearing this, Li Qingning couldn't help but let out an ah. She really couldn't tell that Brother Ma Li liked to eat bitter gourd. She thought he liked meat more, and he usually ate a lot of meat.
"Brother Ma Li's taste is really... really special." She doesn't like hard food, it's too bad.
Hu Juanjuan smiled and agreed with Li Qingning's words. She also felt that her youngest son had a special taste.
She saw Li Qingling eating one after another, and advised her not to eat so much, as her teeth would become weak if she ate too much.
Li Qingling raised her head and smiled shyly at her, "These plums are delicious, I can't help but eat a few more." She was afraid that she would continue to eat, so she quickly put the lid on, turned around and handed it to Xichun, letting her Take it back and put it away.
"Ma'am, Miss Xichun is gone." Hu Juanjuan saw Li Qingling's reluctance, which made her burst into laughter, "I can eat a few more today, remember not to be greedy."
Li Qingling blushed, she wiped her hands with a handkerchief, savored the smell of plums, nodded and said, they are really delicious.
Hu Juanjuan said that if she likes to eat, she will go to her relative's house to get some jars for her to eat.
"How much is a jar?"
"No, no, you don't need money for the things you make at home."
Li Qingling shook his head, determined to give the money, or not.
It's not easy for the common people, and they can't get other people's things for nothing.
If you can buy it with money, you must buy it with money, and you can't let the people lose money.
Seeing Li Qingling's resolute attitude, Hu Juanjuan nodded helplessly, saying that it's fine to just give it whatever she wants, since it's a homemade product, it just takes a little effort and it's not worth much money.
"Mrs. Hu, how many such plums do you have at your relative's house? Can you buy ten jars for me?" Are ten jars enough to eat? Eat a jar a month? No matter how she thought about it, she felt that it was not enough, "How about this, Mrs. Hu, how many plums are there in your relative's house, and you can buy them all for me."
Bought all
Hu Juanjuan looked at Li Qingling dumbfounded. Could this be too exaggerated
"I don't know how many jars of plums my relatives have? If there are enough, how about I buy fifteen jars for you?" She was afraid that Li Qingling would disagree, so she added, "It's okay to eat too much of this kind of thing. Not good, you can change it to other sour food."
Li Qingling thought about it, hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Hu Juanjuan, who had been looking at Li Qingling all the time, was relieved when she saw her nodding. Fortunately, the wife was not difficult to persuade.
When Xichun came back, Li Qingling asked Xichun to give five taels of silver to Hu Juanjuan, and asked Hu Juanjuan to give it to her relatives.
She doesn't know how to sell plums? It is better to give more than less.
When Hu Juanjuan heard this, she waved her hands violently, saying that one tael of silver was enough, so how could five taels of silver be needed
If you can get a tael of silver for something you produce yourself, your relatives will probably be very happy.
Li Qingling glanced at Hu Juanjuan, seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, she thought for a while, and asked Xichun to take out two taels of silver.
"Trouble, Mrs. Hu." She put two taels of silver into Hu Juanjuan's hand, and shook the hand that Hu Juanjuan wanted to push back vigorously, "One tael of silver is too little, your relatives have to spend money to buy jars, Just two or two!"
When it came to this point, Hu Juanjuan no longer refused, and nodded in agreement.
After this incident, she told Li Qingling about the gossip about Ninghua County.
Women are born to gossip, even Li Qingling is no exception. When she heard something exciting, she kept asking, and then? Then what
Wu Juanjuan didn't let her down either, and continued to talk beautifully.
After talking about the gossip, Wu Juanjuan saw that it was almost time, so she prepared to go home and cook.
"Ma'am, are my little monkeys at your house? I'll ask them to go home and have dinner together."
"No, those mischievous ghosts went out with the master early in the morning." Li Qingling shook his head, "You don't have to go home and eat at my house, don't worry about starving Ma Xiancheng, let him go with the adults Just come back and eat."
Hearing this, Hu Juanjuan waved her hand and refused, fearing that Li Qingling would continue to keep her, she hurriedly said a few words, then turned and ran away.
"..." Li Qingling looked at Hu Juanjuan's fast running figure, she felt a little funny, turned her head and said to Xichun, "Mrs. Hu is too polite."
Xichun smiled after hearing this, but she felt that Hu Juanjuan was a good person, and would not take it for granted just because his wife treated her well.
She is a person who knows how to be grateful, and she can feel at ease when dealing with such a person.
"Madam Hu may feel embarrassed."
Of course Li Qingling knew what Hu Juanjuan was for? In fact, she wanted to say that their family is really not poor, not to mention the dividends she can get from Fumanlou every quarter, but to say that the industries she developed in Niutou Village and the capital add up to a lot.
However, she would not say these things to the outside world, even if it was Hu Juanjuan, she would not say it casually.
"Sister, when will you open a roast duck restaurant here in Ninghua County?" Li Qingning sat on the stool, dangling her short legs, tilting her head, and looked at Li Qingling curiously.
She has wanted to eat roast duck for a long time, but she doesn't know when it will be available
Li Qingling nodded her little head, frowned and warned her not to tell this matter, if she did, this roast duck restaurant would not be able to open.
Upon hearing this, Li Qingning covered her little mouth with her hand, shook her little head and said, she wouldn't say it, absolutely not.
In order to be able to eat roast duck, she would kill her without telling it.
Li Qingling rubbed her little head, and asked her if she really wanted to eat roast duck
"I think, I really want to." Li Qingning looked at Li Qingling expectantly, and was about to ask her if she would make it for her to eat, but before she could say this, Liu Zhirou criticized her with a serious face.
"Ningning, bear with me if you want to eat, my sister-in-law has a baby, so don't tire her out."
Seeing Liu Zhirou's domineering side for the first time, Li Qingning stared at her with wide eyes, "Rourou, you..."
Being watched by Li Qingning and the others, Liu Zhirou's little face instantly turned red, she twisted her fingers, faltering and speechless.
"Rourou, you are so domineering." Li Qingning rushed to Liu Zhirou's side and hugged her, "If you are always so domineering, I don't have to worry about you being bullied by others." Rourou is so gentle that she always let her She was very worried, because she was afraid that she would be bullied, and she would not tell them.
Liu Zhirou hugged Li Qingning embarrassingly, she...she did it...in a moment of desperation.
"Ningning, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to kill you."
"It's okay, I was wrong, I didn't think carefully." Li Qingning shook her little head, "Rou Rou, come on, show me your domineering attitude again, if someone bullies you in the future, you can show this side to scare them. "
"..."
Liu Zhirou looked up at Li Qingling, begged her, and asked her to speak for her.
Unexpectedly, Li Qingling would stand by Li Qingning's side and asked her to try again with a smile.
"Sister-in-law..." Liu Zhirou called out helplessly, and gently pushed Li Qingning away, "I won't tell you, I... I'm going to read a book." After speaking, he ran away.
Seeing this, Li Qingning stepped up, and worriedly called Liu Zhirou, telling her not to run so fast and be careful of falling.
