farmer's wife

Chapter 109

These few days of Chinese New Year are cloudless and sunny.

Xiao Lie took Xiao Jian back to the village to pay New Year's greetings, while Fu Yan stayed peacefully in the yard, reading a book and making clothes for the baby.

Shi Yang was memorizing the menu, answering Fu Yan's questions smoothly.

After more than half a year, he has mastered many skills and dishes.Shi Yang is diligent and smart, maybe in another two or three years, he will be able to stand alone completely.

Fu Yan nodded in satisfaction.

At the beginning, Granny Shi and the three were brought to Shizhou City. They had no relatives, and there were no relatives to visit during the New Year's Eve.Fu Yan wanted to give them a few more days to go back to their hometown to see relatives and friends.

"I haven't practiced knife skills today. Master, I'm going back to the kitchen first." Hearing Master's thoughts, Shi Yang bowed his head in silence for a while, turned and left.

Grandma Shi looked at the cold figure of her grandson leaving with clenched fists, put down the cross stitch in her hand and sighed.

"Our Shi family is originally a single generation, with few relatives. The old lady understands the kindness of my wife, but there is only that evil left in my hometown..."

With that bastard son, the few in-laws who were still walking around had alienated them.

Granny Shi doesn't blame them for helping the emergency but not the poor.

Fu Yan opened her mouth and put down the little socks she had made.It was she who said the wrong thing.

After a while, Granny Shi smiled at her again and said: "Forget it, let's not mention those things in the past. Madam's hands are dexterous, and these socks look comfortable."

Fu Yan followed Granny Shi's words and turned to other things.

The bustle of the New Year's Eve gradually passed, and after the fifth day of the first lunar month, the shops that wanted to open their doors as soon as possible had already opened their doors.However, the Fufu Dessert shop was solidly rested until the tenth day of the first lunar month when it opened its doors.

As soon as the shop opened, the customers who had come here early rushed in.

Fufu Dessert has been on hiatus for 20 days, and the pastries they bought earlier have long been exhausted.

In the past, if you want to eat a bite, you can grab it if you come here early and line up, but this time after so many days of rest, not only the anxious and crying children waiting at home, but also the adults who have a good bite are also scratching their hearts and lungs thinking about it. , looking forward to the early opening of Fufu Dessert for business.

On the first day of opening, Shi Yang was still busy in the kitchen with the volume of goods prepared.Today Xiao Lie is paying the bill at the counter, while Granny Shi and Shi Man are entertaining.

"Boss Xiao, tell me about you, you don't even know how to make money if you have money! Tongji Pastry opened two streets away on the fifth day of the first lunar month." The guest teased.

"Yeah, I'm waiting for you to open the door today. I'm so hungry!"

Shi Man said crisply: "It's never too late for a good meal. Our shop has newly released steamed jujube cake and apple milk pudding. Do you want to try it?"

The little girl is one year older, and her personality has become more lively and clever. Now she can help the shop to promote.

Both Xiao Lie and Granny Shi smiled and let her say hello.

"Is it delicious?"

Shi Man flicked his sleeves proudly, and pointed at the steamer that Shi Yang just brought over, "You smell the aroma yourself, what's not good about our Fuqi Dessert Shop?"

"As for the milk pudding, take a spoonful of it, which is smooth and tender. It is fragrant and chewy with fruit mixed in it. It is a taste you have never tasted before in storage. It can be eaten slowly for several days even in cold weather."

While talking, Shi Man acted like eating pudding, she really likes the new pastries brought out by his wife.

Seeing the little girl's intoxicated and satisfied expression, the guests were also moved to swallow their saliva.

The little girl has a good saying, there is nothing bad in this blessing dessert shop.

"Boss Xiao! Bring me the newly released jujube cake and milk cloth...bu what?"

"pudding."

"Oh, yes! I want milk pudding. And some egg cakes, my grandma likes them." This shop is good everywhere, but it always has some awkward names.

Xiao Lie arranged for him to settle the bill, and after paying the money, Granny Shi handed him the pastry, not forgetting to say: "The jujube cake is best eaten while it's hot, if it's cold, you can warm it up at home."

……

Business was as good as ever, and the pastries in the shop were sold out within two hours.

After seeing off the guests, Xiao Lie counted today's accounts.

"Grandma Shi, you can just close the shop and go back, I'm going out for a while."

He walked to the door and turned back: "Why don't you go with me, Aman is waiting in the shop, we should be back soon."

Granny Shi was at a loss by what he said.

"Where to go?"

"Didn't you say that you need to invite Mrs. Li in advance? Boss Li from Liji Buzhuang introduced Mrs. Li from the south of the city. You can go with me. I don't know much about this."

Fu Yan's due date is estimated to be at the end of February.

When Li Ting came to the house to deliver the accounts, she knew that they had just moved to the city not long ago, so she recommended Fu Yan a stable woman who was experienced and well-known.

And because of this Granny Li's good craftsmanship, most of the daughter-in-laws delivered by her are both mother and child, and there are quite a few families who want to invite her.Li Ting specifically told them to go early to agree on the time.

Li Ting mentioned this matter, Xiao Lie also kept this in mind.

Now that the New Year's Eve is over, he can move around, so he wants to help Fu Yan find good people as soon as possible.

Don't be sloppy about delivering the baby, Granny Shi put down the things in her hands and followed: "That's fine, let's go quickly and set the date first."

Granny Shi and Granny Li discussed Fu Yan's expected delivery time and things to prepare, while Xiao Lie sat on the side and carefully memorized it.

After agreeing on something, Xiao Lie first withdrew one or two deposits and gave it to Granny Li.

Granny Li took it, weighed it, and accepted it with satisfaction: "Okay, until the end of February, as long as you come to let me know, I will go there in person immediately."

Granny Li has a great reputation, and she has a lot of daughters-in-law who can take over, but she is still the most experienced, and naturally the fees are not cheap.

This one or two is a deposit, and the remaining one or two will be paid after the delivery is successful. As for the extra money for the birth of a boy or a girl, it depends on the wishes of the host family.

In this regard, Xiao Lie would not be reluctant to spend money.

"Thank you for taking care of my wife that day."

Granny Li looked up at him. The man only said to take care of his wife but not the children. It was obvious that he loved his wife.

Granny Li smiled more sincerely, and reminded him kindly: "Sure, my Granny Li's reputation is well-known in this area. But everything is uncertain, so you should inform the doctors you are familiar with in advance."

Various situations arise when a woman gives birth.She is a solid woman, and she dares to take the reputation of the past thirty years as a guarantee for delivering babies, but there is no certainty, and there is a doctor who can deal with critical situations such as hemorrhage in a timely manner.

Some people are taboo to see a doctor during childbirth, and they just think that it depends on their women's family to suffer.

At first glance, the head of the family is not that stupid. Since he can love his daughter-in-law and is willing to spend some money, Granny Li also reminded her a lot.

Xiao Lie took down her words seriously again, and planned to talk to the old doctor again in the afternoon.

After setting the time, the two of them returned to the shop.
