Zhu Yuanyuan never imagined that her second brother and sister-in-law had already secretly visited Chencang. She only told her parents that it was time to get married and held a wedding ceremony. Now it is not too soon to have a baby.
Seeing that she was about to become an aunt, her original plan was immediately thrown into the trash can. When she got home, she exchanged a large bag of snacks that pregnant women loved from the mall.
What should I do if my pregnant sister-in-law has no appetite? The lack of nutrients in her baby will affect her development.
After preparing the snacks, Zhu Yuanyuan started to make lunch. She first boiled the yam bone soup, then stewed the braised pork in a pot, and the barbecue was also included. She figured that her family would be back soon before making the last dish - spicy and sour potato shreds.
"There are too few ingredients, so we have to make do with what we have," Zhu Yuanyuan sighed as she stood in front of the stone platform with her hands on her hips.
She had to see if her second sister-in-law liked spicy and sour dishes first. If she could, she would arrange sweet and sour fish, spicy chicken, and egg custard, which were also very nutritious.
Why haven't the people who ate come back yet?
After a while, the dishes will be cold.
Zhu Yuanyuan hesitated whether to put a steamer in the large pot of boiling water and put the vegetables in to warm, but she was worried that it would affect the crispy texture of the shredded potatoes.
Misstep. If I had known earlier, I should have waited for someone to come back and then speculated.
Before he finished reflecting, the courtyard door creaked open, and Zhu Yongmeng rushed in with a smile on his face, "Sister, let me see what delicious food you have prepared for your second sister-in-law?"
Zhu Yuanyuan said with a sullen face, "It's not your fault to read it, so it's better not to read it."
"That's right," Zhu Yong rubbed his hands fiercely, feeling secretly proud in his heart. Hong Hong always felt sorry for him and would definitely not eat alone.
Zhu Yongmeng was so shallow-minded that anyone could see some clues. Zhu Xiaofen couldn't help but slap him on the back of the head, "Don't compete with Hong Hong for food."
"Oh, Mom, please be gentle, what if you beat me stupidly?" Zhu Yongmeng covered the back of his head and pretended to be pitiful.
You can't even hide from the merciless beating from your own mother, otherwise...
He secretly glanced at his own father. The murderous look in his eyes was so strong that he couldn't look directly at him and had no choice but to shut himself up.
"Be good," Zhuhong slowly approached and patted her partner's back comfortingly. "Don't think about competing with the cubs for food in the future."
Zhu Yongmeng felt aggrieved and said, "I never thought about it."
"Weren't you just thinking," Zhu Hong touched her slightly bulging belly, "the babies in the belly are also babies."
Zhu Yongmeng, "..." I was careless!
After cleaning up their disobedient son/partner, the two victorious adult females entered the main room hand in hand, sat down around the large stone table filled with food, and said in unison, "Eat."
Noisy and noisy, noisy and noisy, eating is the most important thing.
Zhu Qiang did not sit down in a hurry, "Where is the great wizard? Why didn't you come to eat?"
"I don't know," Zhu Yuanyuan was also confused, "I'm going to have a look. I'm afraid I'm so busy that I forgot about my meal."
After saying that, he quickly went out and walked towards the cave diagonally opposite.
Just as she thought, Hu Yin was busy putting the dried herbs into dry animal skin bags, and then placed them in wooden barrels to seal them for storage to prevent excessive moisture from soaking into the barrels.
No matter how well the protection work is done, these herbs will not be preserved for long because the rain and snow in the south are too humid.
Last year during the snow season, Hu Yin had too little knowledge of the environment and failed to detect the return of moisture in the herbs in time, which resulted in more mold and a bigger gap in the medicines that were already insufficient.
"Master, go to my house for dinner first," Zhu Yuanyuan suggested. "The snow won't be very heavy today, and you can still go out. I'll clean it up with you in the afternoon."
"Okay," Hu Yin quickly sealed the wooden barrel with a lid with yellow mud, and couldn't help but mutter to himself as he placed it, "The climate here is really not good, and the fire in the cave will get damp every day."
I feel irritable and have lost the aloofness I used to have.
Zhu Yuanyuan didn't think there was any problem, "There is a lot of rain in the south, and we live by the river. The two sides overlap, and the tide increases. Living in a brick house is better, but the cave is more serious."
"You mean the brick house is not as moist as the cave?" Hu Yin asked in surprise.
"Yes," Zhu Yuanyuan said matter-of-factly, "There is water in the mountain. Dig a hole in the middle and remove the gate.
Outside of that side, there is water on several other sides, how can it not be damp, and the brick house is only heavier than the water vapor on the ground, so it would be great to build a higher wooden frame to put the herbs on top. "
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but shake her head, "The leader said he would build you a brick house, why did you refuse?"
Hu Yin was shocked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"I have said it before," Zhu Yuanyuan pursed her lips, "Forget it if you don't take it to heart, you are still wronging me for not saying anything."
"Yes, really?" Hu Yin was embarrassed for a moment, but quickly returned to normal, and said confidently, "You must have mentioned it when I was busy, otherwise I would not refuse."
Although he found it troublesome to move and thought the brick house was strange, he would definitely be willing to move if he knew it was suitable for storing herbs.
Zhu Yuanyuan was speechless and choked. As long as the master refused to admit it, it would be her apprentice who was at fault, right?
Forget it, let her take the blame. Who wants to be a master who wants more face than an apprentice?
"Master is right, I will definitely find the right opportunity to say something important in the future, and I won't make the same mistake," Zhu Yuanyuan took the initiative to hand out the ladder.
Hu Yin accepted the offer and said, "Don't mention the past. Let's wait until next spring to see if your house is strong. If there is no problem, I will find someone to build a building next door."
"Master has considered it very comprehensively," Zhu Yuanyuan said obediently. "It doesn't take much time to think about it. The leader has always taken your matter to heart."
"Well," Hu Yin nodded, "This year's medicinal herbs will be moved to your home. I will inform the tribe later that if they need medicine, they can go directly to your home."
Zhu Yuanyuan had a bad premonition and asked with some luck, "Master, are you willing to help me spend the snow season at my house?"
She had invited her, but she was rejected because there were too many people and it was noisy.
In the past, there was a small door in the middle of the cave, and the door was locked at night, so I still lived alone. If I lived in a big tile-roofed house, several people would have to live in one room, and Hu Yin was not happy.
He is a great witch, and no matter how well he gets along with his disciples and their families, he still has to keep some distance to maintain a sense of mystery.
Even at this time, Hu Yin's answer did not change, "No, you have learned how to treat illnesses and save people. If necessary, you can directly take action and let me rest for a snow season."
Zhu Yuanyuan is not feeling well. Master is going on strike!
"Let's go to your house for dinner," Hu Yin said with a relaxed expression. "In the afternoon, we will find more people to make wooden shelves. We will seal and pack the herbs and move them to the main room of your brick house tomorrow."
He made a decision in a few words, and regardless of the look on his disciple's face that was struck by lightning, he happily went out.
"Pah," Zhu Yuanyuan said to herself, "If you talk quickly, you can't wait until next spring to find work for yourself."
"Hurry up, don't waste time," Hu Yin shouted without looking back, "the barbecue is about to get cold."
Zhu Yuanyuan hurriedly responded, "Just come."
The master has made up his mind to trick her, and he will not let go. All she has to do is learn from the lesson and ensure that she will not make the same mistake in the future.
By the way, there are a lot of things growing in the ground next to the hot spring. I don’t know how they are growing or whether they will be damaged by the heavy snow.
