In the evening, Yang Fan accompanied the two ladies to have dinner in the flower hall.
"Wow, there is salt-baked chicken today, which is great. This is my favorite." Xiao Niangpi said happily.
"There are lobsters today, which is great." Lin Yueru also said with satisfaction.
"This is sent by steam ship from Tianjin. They are all alive and raised in sea water. This is the last batch of seafood this year. The inland river will be frozen soon. If you want to eat it again, you have to wait until spring next year ." Yang Fan said.
Lin Yueru likes seafood. I like to eat all kinds of seafood.
Yang's lobster is generally cooked in a fixed way.
The essence of the tail can be eaten raw, made into sashimi, cut into thin slices, and dipped in mustard and seafood soy sauce. Mainly for Yang Fan to replenish his health. Every time Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru had to supervise Yang Fan to finish eating.
The meat of the lobster is salted and peppered or fried. Use the head and tail to make soup or porridge, and take out the brain to steam eggs.
It’s really no waste at all.
The seafood is all from Tianjin. But not lobster.
These lobsters are from the Horn of Africa. Teleported here with the camel. It’s a serious Mozambique rose lobster. very delicious.
Also included is tuna, also sashimied and eaten raw.
Lin Yueru takes a few tablets every morning.
The tuna in the Horn of Africa is the fattest in the world, and it is so fat that it becomes a ball.
Yang Fan didn't want Lin Yueru to eat too much. Too much fat makes it easy to gain weight. So I lied to her and said the sea would be closed soon. I want to try it again next year.
The little girl started eating the salt-baked chicken right away, and her little hands and mouth were covered in oil. Yang Fan liked to watch her eating the most, she was so naive.
The chicken on the plate has crisp skin, smooth meat, salty taste, fresh texture, and attractive golden color. Seeing the little girl eating so happily, Yang Fan was in a good mood and had a great appetite.
"I'm going to the Beitangkou Shipyard. The new ship has been finalized and will be launched soon. I'm going to do an on-site inspection. I may have to go to sea with the ship for a while. You two should be good at home. Don't run out all day. Have fun, you will be 20 years old during the Chinese New Year. After all, it is the golden age." Yang Fan said while eating glutinous rice pancakes filled with fried golden adzuki beans on both sides, and drinking pickled cabbage and white broth.
A woman's 12-year-old age is called the golden hairpin, 13-year-old woman is called the cardamom age, 15-year-old age is called the hairpin age, 16-year-old age is called the jasper age, 20-year-old age is called the peach and plum age, 24-year-old age is called the flower and letter age, and a married woman is called the plum age. Yang Fanchao likes ancient etiquette and vocabulary, which are very beautiful and elegant.
During the Ming Dynasty, there was both the beauty of Hanfu and the beauty of culture. The girls are gentle and virtuous, far from being comparable to those modern retro Hanfu performances.
"Sir, I want to go too. I haven't been on a sea ship yet. Please take me there. Yue Rudu has been to Nagasaki by sea ship, but I haven't been on one yet." When Xiao Niangpi heard this, she immediately Eyes shining.
She and Lin Yueru have had enough of steam cars recently. As soon as he heard that Yang Fan was going to experience sailing, he immediately said.
"Master, let me go with you too. I heard that the two cruisers launched this time are both 1,500-ton class. I have never seen such a big ship." Lin Yueru also became more energetic.
Last time I took the Star to Nagasaki, it was so comfortable. That is simply a luxury yacht. There are also dedicated chefs and the best red wine on the ship, which is simply not too enjoyable.
"We are about to go on an expedition after the Spring Festival. Will Your Majesty be unhappy if I take you on a tour at this time?" Yang Fan hesitated.
"Oh, you don't care what your Majesty does, he is busy clearing the army right now. The army is in a state of chaos, and everyone is in a panic now. After the New Year, your Majesty will make big moves. At this time, the big shots in the court will I'm so stupid. How can I care about you?" said the little girl, rubbing Yang Fan's cheek.
"That's right. Donglin wants to disband the border troops this time and all the factions are red-eyed. They really can't care about anything else." Yang Fan thought the same thing.
"Master, you will go on an expedition after the Chinese New Year. It will be a year since you leave. Just treat us as if you are taking us out to play, okay." Lin Yueru also immediately shook Yang Fan's arm and acted coquettishly.
This expedition might not last long, indeed it won't
Time to spend time with the ladies. It might as well take them out to play.
"Okay, then pack your things and we'll set off tomorrow morning."
"Master, that's the best." Xiao Niangpi immediately kissed her. Lin Yueru also took a sip of fragrance on the other cheek.
With the master's permission, Xiao Niangpi happily prepared to finish the remaining chicken leg.
"Uh," the little girl suddenly retched.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Yang Fan immediately became nervous. Her face looked rosy, and she didn't look like she was sick.
Lin Yueru hurried over, supported Xiao Niangpi, and gently tapped her back with her hand.
As I was tapping, I suddenly felt a little dizzy, and I spat it out.
Yang Fan didn't know what was going on. Could it be that he had a bad stomach? Quickly call Huang Ximei over. She comes from a family of orthopedic surgeons and specializes in gynecology. She is currently responsible for the health of women at home.
After Huang Ximei came back from the battlefield, she stayed in the Yang Mansion's inner house. Responsible for the health of the wife and female dependents. During the day, when I have nothing to do, I will go to the medical clinic on the street in Nanluoguxiang community to sit in.
There are not many female doctors in this era, and there are even fewer gynecological clinics. It has been well received since it opened. Madams, young ladies and old ladies from Beijing came to see the doctor one after another. For a time, his reputation became great.
Huang Ximei hangs a pot here to help the world, and there are many patients every day. Her number is not easy to call. Reservation required. It was dinner today, and she happened to have returned home. Coming soon.
Seeing her checking the two ladies, Yang Fan asked anxiously: "Is it because she ate too much sashimi, but not parasites."
During this time, Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru were forced by Yang Fan to change their habit of eating fish meat. Because freshwater fish has many parasites when eaten raw, they switched to eating sashimi from sea fish. Ordinarily, marine fish don’t have too many parasites.
Huang Ximei looked at Yang Fan's anxious look, smiled, and said: "Master, don't be anxious. The two ladies are not sick. The two ladies are happy."
Yang Fan was stunned for a moment and asked, "What did you say?"
"Sir, both ladies are happy. They are pregnant."
Yang Fan was a little stunned, he was going to be a father. Suddenly a burst of ecstasy fell from the sky.
"How long has it been? How is your condition?" Yang Fan asked excitedly.
"Sir, it's been about two months, everything is normal, there is no problem. The two ladies are in very good health, with strong pulses. You just need to pay attention to maintenance."
Calculating the time, it was exactly the time after he opened his Qi veins on the grassland.
When Lin Yueru and Xiao Niangpi heard that she was pregnant, they hugged Yang Fan tightly. I was so excited that I started crying. They both thought about the child almost crazy.
Yang Fan also grinned stupidly.
"Aunt Mei, give Miss Huang a big red envelope, fifty taels."
Huang Ximei was startled, fifty taels, my God, that's too much.
"Master, no reward for no merit. My treatment is good enough. I didn't do anything. How can I get so many red envelopes?"
"Not much, not much. As long as you take good care of the two ladies, it is the greatest credit. Aunt Mei, everyone at home will be rewarded with ten taels of silver." Yang Fan said happily.
Seeing Yang Fan so happy made him feel a little stupid. Lin Yueru shook Yang Fan's arm and said, "Master, it's better not to tell anyone about our pregnancy yet."
Yang Fan immediately understood what Lin Yueru meant.
He is about to go on an expedition. It would be bad if His Majesty had other thoughts and kept the two of them in the capital as hostages.
Yang Fan pondered and said: "Then we won't make it public for now, and only a few people present today will know about it. The reward will be paid out, and it will be regarded as a reward from the two ladies before the Spring Festival."
"You two are pregnant. Do you want to go to sea? Why don't you go back to Xincheng to raise your baby first?" Yang Fan persuaded in a low voice.
Although Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru were playful, they still knew the seriousness of the matter. In this era, a mother is more valuable than her son. Having children is the most important thing in a woman's life, but it should not be taken lightly.
"Everything is entirely up to the master." The little girl behaved obediently
said.
"Sir, I will also go back to my home in Xincheng to raise the baby." Lin Yueru also said.
Yang Fan nodded with satisfaction and said: "The sea is bumpy and there are dangers of wind and waves. I am most at ease if you go back to the new city. When the children are older, there will be more opportunities to go out and play. Then I will take you to the Maldives. The sea there is very beautiful."
Xiao Niangpi said in surprise: "Master, is this the place McDull said he was going to in the bedtime story you told him all day long?"
"Yes, that's right there."
