Chapter Seventy-Seven: My Pleasure
"Madam, try it, this soup is said to be very appetizing for pregnant women, I learned it from Mrs. Zhao, who sells vegetables on the side of the tofu factory. ”
Ning Er said as she blew the soup in the porcelain bowl in front of her.
Zhou Youyi took a sip, it was fragrant and refreshing, with the sweetness and sourness of plums, and even a certain meaty aroma.
"Tell me, what the hell is this. ”
Zhou Youyi couldn't wait, and asked again, and after a while, the soup in this bowl was bottomed out.
"Madame, how do you feel?"
Ning'er was looking forward to Zhou Youyi's answer, after all, she had put a lot of thought into this bowl of soup.
Zhou Youyi raised her head and looked at Ning Er in front of her, her brows furrowed slightly, but the smile at the corner of her mouth was very obvious, "Say it quickly." ”
Ning Er explained that the reason why Zhou Youyi ate the taste of meat was because a spoonful of lard that had just been boiled last night was added to this soup, just a little, and it would not make Zhou Youyi feel greasy, because the sour taste of green plums covered most of the meat.
Zhou Youyi looked at the bowl, she had never drunk such a novel soup.
"Is that Aunt Zhao very good at cooking?"
Su Ying'er asked.
Since Zhou Youyi became pregnant, this appetite has never been better, and people have lost a lot of weight.
If this continues, Su Ying'er is only worried that Zhou Youyi's health will get worse and worse, a pregnant woman should have to eat more than ordinary people, and the mother has no nutrition, and the child in this belly can be imagined.
What's more, Zhou Youyi is likely to be pregnant with a pair of twins.
"Yes, this Aunt Zhao used to be a cook in other mansions, you mean?"
Ning Er suddenly thought of something, and immediately said with a smile, "I understand, I'll ask Aunt Zhao tomorrow." ”
The next day, Ning Er went to the tofu shop early, saying that she was here to help, but in fact, she came to Aunt Zhao to discuss how to make Zhou Youyi eat more and not have morning sickness.
Aunt Zhao is also a real person, seeing that the recipe she taught Ning'er yesterday was useful, she didn't hide it, and picked up a few vegetables in front of her to cook for Zhou Youyi.
At noon, Zhou Youyi was mysteriously pulled by Ning Er to the tofu shop, and as soon as she entered the door, the aroma that came to her nose really attracted her taste buds.
When I stepped forward, I saw that there were simple three dishes and one soup on the table, which was obviously the simplest meal, but now it seemed that it was especially delicious.
"Madame, try it and see how this goes. ”
Ning'er couldn't wait for Zhou Youyi's comment.
After a while, Zhou Youyi ate the food in front of her, and Aunt Zhao walked out from behind, looked at the empty plate in front of her, and said with a smile, "It is an honor for the old woman to have the appetite of the lady." ”
Zhou Youyi hurriedly asked Su Ying'er to take out the silver taels, but Aunt Zhao said that she would not accept anything.
"Madam, as long as you like, these dishes are all made by me at home, and they are not worth anything at all. ”
Zhou Youyi had no choice, so after leaving Aunt Zhao's house, she instructed Su Yinger to buy a decent dress for Aunt Zhao.
Just as Zhou Youyi found Aunt Zhao to prepare her daily meal, the Fang family, who lived in the North Courtyard, began to feel bad.
Two days later, Fang's weight loss was even worse than Zhou Youyi's.
At the family banquet in the house, the Kang family called the ladies from each courtyard to the east courtyard for dinner, and when they saw the Fang family coming out, they were stunned for a moment.
"Juan'er, what's wrong with you, why haven't you seen you for two days, why have you lost weight like this. ”
Kang thought about it, although this Fang clan announced that he was pregnant earlier than Zhou Youyi, but after careful calculation, the pregnancy period of these two people was almost the same.
"Old lady, the second lady has been happy lately, and she can't eat anything. ”
Jin Chen replied for Fang's family.
Zhou Youyi, who was sitting on the other side, didn't show any displeasure, except for not eating much meat, she would eat some of the rest.
This made Kang find it very strange.
"Youyi, I remember that you were also happy a while ago, why aren't you harmful now?"
Kang looked at Zhou Youyi and asked.
Zhou Youyi put down the chopsticks in her hand, her voice was soft, explaining that she had eaten Aunt Zhao's meal, and planned to invite Aunt Zhao to the house to be a cook, Kang thought it was feasible, but Fang didn't think so.
"It's just an old woman, how can she eat the food she makes?"
Fang's heart was very disdainful, but none of the dishes cooked by the cooks in this house met her appetite.
"Otherwise, tomorrow I will ask Aunt Zhao to come over and make you a table, and you will see if it suits your appetite at that time?"
Seeing Zhou Youyi praising Aunt Zhao like this, the more disdain Fang felt in his heart.
But when Aunt Zhao really made a table of simple side dishes the next day, she adjusted all the taste buds of the Fang family.
After Fang's finished eating, Aunt Zhao stepped forward to clean up the plate, and Zhou Youyi told Aunt Zhao that she wanted to invite her into the house to cook for the two pregnant women in the house, and the silver was many times that of Aunt Zhao's vegetables.
"Thanks to Madame, the old slave will definitely do his best to take care of the two ladies. ”
Fang Shi stood aside and didn't say anything, but he was planning in his heart that with such a cook there, he wouldn't have to suffer from this harm and joy in the future.
Since Zhou Youyi returned to the cloth village again, the business of this cloth village has improved again, and those customers who were driven away by Shen Hai and Shen Shan have also come back again.
Ning'er was even busier, after serving Zhou Youyi in the morning to freshen up and eat breakfast, after accompanying her to Buzhuang, she went to the tofu factory in Baicheng, and after being busy in the morning, the whole person was so tired that she couldn't do it, but every time she came to Zhou Youyi, she never complained.
Shen Chengyi's condition is getting worse and worse, at first he only vomited blood every few days, and after about two months, he began to vomit once a day, and it happened at night. Every time Kang was woken up by Shen Chengyi's cough, at first he just thought that it would be fine just for a while, but gradually the cough became more and more serious.
Until Kang saw that the corners of Shen Chengyi's mouth were bloodstained.
"Master, what's wrong with you, what kind of illness do you have?"
Kang's was in a hurry, looking at Shen Chengyi, who was almost sixty years old, but he was still almost crying.
"I'm fine, I'm just a little cold, out of the way. ”
Shen Chengyi looked at Kang's and reached out to hold her hand, his bloodless face full of guilt.
Since marrying the Kang family, there has been nothing else except for the three sons and one daughter of the Shen family, and the time he spends with the Kang family is even less. The meaning of the Kang family in the Shen family suddenly became a role to help him take charge of this mansion.
When Shen Chengyi was no longer busy with business and really returned to Shen's mansion to prepare for his old age in secret, his illness broke out at this time.
Even if he doesn't want to, but Lord Yama wants to find someone, how can he ever miss it.
