Not long after they all walked to the pavilion and sat down, Nian Xia arrived with Hu Juanjuan.
"Madam, you look good today." Hu Juanjuan said while smiling at Li Qingling.
"Not bad." Li Qingling laughed, "Mrs. Hu, sit."
After Hu Juanjuan answered and sat down, she placed the jar in her hands on the stone table and gently pushed it in front of Li Qingling, "Madam, I heard that your appetite is not good, this plum was made by a relative of mine, I loved to eat this when I was pregnant, why don't you try it?"
Upon hearing that it was Plum Blossom, Li Qingling's saliva involuntarily started to drool.
She gently opened the lid of the jar, and the sour smell of the plum floated out, causing Li Qingling to forcefully swallow his saliva.
If she didn't quickly swallow her saliva, then perhaps it would flow out from the corner of her mouth.
"Elder sister, can you let me taste one?" Li Qingning raised his head, looked at the jar of plum, and gulped a mouthful of saliva.
Seeing her greedy to such an extent, Li Qingling couldn't help but laugh. He took out two and stuffed one into Li Qingning's mouth, and the other into Liu Zhirou's.
Instantly, the two little fellows' faces frowned as they cried out in pain.
Hu Juanjuan laughed and said that the plum was sour, it was perfect for a pregnant woman to eat.
Hearing this, Li Qingling swallowed his saliva again, took out one and stuffed it into his mouth, while vaguely saying, "Delicious."
Delicious?
Where did it taste good? He was so sore that his teeth were about to fall out.
Li Qingning and Liu Zhirou could not help but spit out the plum. When they looked up at Li Qingling and saw his satisfied expression, they could not help but shiver.
They felt that Li Qingling's taste was weird, how could it be so sour?
Hu Juanjuan smiled as she looked at Li Qingning and Liu Zhirou, and explained to them. A pregnant woman's taste was slightly different from an ordinary person's.
"Really?" Li Qingning turned her head to look at Hu Juanjuan, her face filled with astonishment.
Hu Juanjuan nodded her head and said that it was true. When she was pregnant with her four sons, every single one of their tastes were different.
Hearing that, Li Qingning's eyes grew even wider, "What? "You like to eat suffering too?" Mrs. Hu's taste is really … It's really special. I like to suffer.
Seeing that Li Qingning's eyes were wide open and his small mouth was slightly open, and that it struck a spot on Hu Juanjuan's heart, she couldn't help but reach out to touch the head of Li Qingning's bag. She had always wanted to have a daughter, but unfortunately, four of them were sons.
"When I was Willy, I liked eating bitter food. It tasted really good." At that time, how many bitter gourds had she eaten? After the birth, he no longer dared to eat bitter melon.
"Ma …" Big Brother Ma Li likes it … Those who like to suffer? " Big Brother Ma Li is too … It was too strange. So many good things did not like to eat, but he liked to suffer. He wondered if he still enjoyed eating them. Next time she must ask him.
"Yes, he likes to suffer." Hu Juanjuan thought of his younger son, and couldn't help but laugh, "Since young, he has always liked to eat bitter gourds." This taste …
When Li Qingning heard this, she couldn't help but let out a cry. She really couldn't tell that Big Brother Ma Li liked eating bitter gourds, she thought that he liked eating meat more and would normally watch him eat more meat.
"Big Brother Ma Li's taste is really … "It's really special." She didn't like to suffer. It was too hard to eat.
Hu Juanjuan smiled and agreed with Li Qingning's words. She also felt that her little son's taste was special.
Seeing Li Qingling eating one after another, she advised Li Qingling not to eat so much, because eating too much would cause his teeth to go soft.
Li Qingling raised his head and embarrassedly smiled at her, "This plum was delicious, I couldn't help but eat a few more." She was afraid that he would continue to eat it, so he immediately covered it with the lid. He turned around and handed it over to Xi Chun, telling him to take it back and put it away.
"Madam, Miss Xi Chun has gone far." When Hu Juanjuan saw Li Qingling's reluctant expression, she burst out laughing, "I can eat a few more today, remember not to be greedy."
Li Qingling's face was flushed red, she used the kerchief to wipe his hands, savoring the taste of the plum, then nodded and said, it was truly delicious.
Hu Juanjuan said that if she liked it, she would go to her relatives and get a few jars for her to eat.
"How much is a jar?"
"There's no need, there's no need. I have things that I need to take care of myself, so I don't need money."
Li Qingling shook his head, he was determined to give them the money, if not he would not take it.
It is not easy for the people to get what others have.
If they could afford it, they had to pay for it. They couldn't let the commoners suffer any losses.
Seeing how determined Li Qingling was, she nodded his head helplessly, and said that it was fine to just give them some, since it was something that was produced by his own clan, he would have to spend some effort and wasn't worth much money.
"Mrs. Hu, how many of these plums do your relatives have? Can you buy ten pots for me?" Would ten jars suffice? One 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 do your relatives have, help me buy them all."
Buy them all?
Hu Juanjuan looked at Li Qingling, dumbstruck. Wasn't this too exaggerated?
"I don't know how many jars of plums my relatives have left. If you have enough, how about I buy fifteen jars for you? " She was afraid that Li Qingling would not agree, so she added another sentence, "It's not good to eat this kind of thing too much, you can trade it for other sour things to eat."
Li Qingling thought, and after a moment of hesitation, he nodded his head.
Seeing that she nodded, Hu Juanjuan, who had been looking at Li Qingling, secretly heaved a sigh of relief in her heart.
When Xi Chun returned, Li Qingling told her to give him 5 taels of silver, so that he could give it to her relatives.
She doesn't know how to sell plums? It was better to give more than less.
Hearing that, Hu Juanjuan waved her hand, saying one tael of silver was enough, why would she need five?
If he could get a tael of silver for his own products, his relatives would probably be overjoyed.
Li Qingling looked at Hu Juanjuan. Seeing that she did not seem to be joking, she thought for a bit and got Xi Chun to take out two taels of silver.
"Sorry for the trouble, Mrs. Hu." She placed two taels of silver in Hu Juanjuan's hands, and shook the hand Hu Juanjuan was about to push back, "One tael of silver is too little, your relative would also need to spend money to buy the jar, let's say two taels of silver!"
With this said, Hu Juanjuan did not reject anymore and nodded in agreement.
After this matter, she told Li Qingling about the gossips in the Ninghua County.
Women were born gossipy, even Li Qingling was no exception. Hearing the interesting part, she kept asking, and then? And then?
Wu Yijuan didn't let her down either, and continued speaking in a visionary manner.
After that, when it was almost time for the gossip, Wu Yijuan prepared to go home and cook dinner.
"Madam, are those little monkeys of mine in your house? I'll go and ask them to come home and eat dinner together. "
"No, those mischievous people followed me out early in the morning." Li Qingling shook his head, "Don't go home and cook, eat at my home. Don't worry about starving Magistrate Ma to death, just let him come back with you to eat."
Hearing that, Hu Juanjuan waved her hand and rejected her, afraid that Li Qingling would continue to urge her to stay. After she hurriedly said a few words, she turned and ran off.
"..." Li Qingling looked at Hu Juanjuan's figure that was running away quickly. She felt that it was kind of funny, so he turned to Xi Chun and said, "Mrs. Hu is too polite."
Hearing this, Xi Chun laughed, she felt that Hu Juanjuan knew how to be a good person, and wouldn't use Madam's kindness towards her, and felt that it was natural.
She was a person who knew how to be grateful. She would only be at ease when dealing with people like them.
"I'm afraid Mrs. Hu feels embarrassed."
Of course Li Qingling knew what Hu Juanjuan was doing this for? In fact, she wanted to say that her family was truly not poor. Not to mention the dividends she got from the Fumanlou every quarter, even the businesses that she developed in the Ox-Head Village and the capital added up together wasn't small.
However, she would not reveal these things to the public, even if it was Hu Juanjuan, she would not casually say it out.
"Elder sister, when did you open a roast duck restaurant in Ninghua County?" Li Qingning sat on the stool, swinging her short legs, tilting her head, she curiously looked at Li Qingling.
She had wanted to eat roast duck for a long time, but she didn't know when she would be able to do so.
Li Qingling nodded her head and frowned, warning her not to say anything. If she did, he wouldn't be able to open the roast duck restaurant.
Hearing this, Li Qingning covered her mouth and shook her head. She won't say, she definitely won't say.
She wouldn't tell anyone if she was beaten to death in order to eat roast duck.
Li Qingling rubbed her little head and asked her if she really wanted to eat roast duck.
"Yes, especially." Li Qingning looked at Li Qingling in anticipation, and was about to ask if she wanted to cook for her, but before she could finish, she was criticized by Liu Zhirou with a serious face.
"Ning Ning, bear with it if you want to eat it. Sister-in-law has a baby, I can't tire her out."
This was the first time he had seen Liu Zhirou's domineering side. Li Qingning looked at her with wide eyes, "Rou Rou, you …"
Being stared at by Li Qingning and the others, Liu Zhirou's little face instantly turned red. She wriggled her fingers, and was stumped for words.
"Rou Rou, you are so domineering." Li Qingning threw herself to Liu Zhirou's side and hugged her, "If you continue to be this domineering, I won't have to worry about others bullying you anymore." Rou Rou was so gentle. She had always been extremely worried. She was afraid that someone would bully her and not tell them about it.
Liu Zhirou hugged Li Qingning a little embarrassedly. She … It was only in a moment of desperation that she... Only then …
"Ning Ning, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to anger you."
"It's okay, I was wrong. I couldn't think it through." Li Qingning shook her head, "Rou Rou, come here, show me your dominance again. If someone bullies you in the future, you can scare them with this."
"..."
Liu Zhirou raised her head and looked at Li Qingling imploringly, asking her to speak up for him.
Who would have thought that Li Qingling would stand by Li Qingning's side and ask her to try again with a smile.
"Sister-in-law …" Liu Zhirou let out a helpless cry, and gently pushed Li Qingning away, "I won't tell you guys anymore, I … I'm going to read. " With that, she ran off.
Seeing that, Li Qingning stepped forward, and even worriedly called out to Liu Zhirou, telling her not to run so fast, and to be careful not to fall.
