Chapter 197 Diners in Line

The aunts were too embarrassed to move.

The old men don’t have such worries.

They had never encountered such a thing before. Seeing a pregnant girl waiting in line for a meal, several uncles hurriedly greeted her: "Little girl, please stand over here. I have a stool over here. Why don't you sit down and wait?"

Zhou Qing didn't react at first, she realized the old men were calling her.

She subconsciously turned her head and looked back, and then found that everyone was looking at her.

ah?

Look at her?

Zhou Qing subconsciously lowered his head to glance at his stomach.

Ahhh, yes, she's over six months pregnant already, and her pregnancy is showing. Plus, her belly was noticeable even before she got pregnant, so her clothes are bulging...

Zhou Qing didn't feel unwell, so he didn't think about competing with the old men and women for a spot, and just waited in line quietly.

Now that she was suddenly stopped by the old men, Zhou Qing felt a little embarrassed. She waved her hands, wanting to say that it was okay, she was not tired, and it would be fine to stand for a while.

The guy in the queue in front was originally playing with his phone. He turned around and saw that Zhou Qing was pregnant. He hurriedly called out, "Young boss, can you please let the pregnant woman go in and sit down first?"

His roar made Zhou Qing even more embarrassed, and she almost covered her face and ran away.

However, everyone meant well, so she couldn't just leave. Her mother was still pushing her, "Go, go. We're all taking care of you."

Zhou Qing had no choice but to take small steps forward.

As soon as she moved, the shutter door of Shengji Restaurant opened.

Boll opened the door to welcome the guests, and Zhou Qing just walked over.

After discovering that she was a pregnant woman, Boll gently reminded her, "Watch your step."

Being surrounded by kindness, Zhou Qing's face turned red. While thanking everyone, she pulled her mother and walked in front. After entering the store, she went to the bar first.

After she became pregnant, she rarely ate out.

Even when I go to work, I always bring food from home.

Her mother and her mother-in-law took turns to cook for her once a month, for fear that she and her mother would go hungry.

Even so, Zhou Qing's recent hemoglobin value in pregnancy check-up has been hovering around the bottom line of 110.

The doctor asked her to pay attention to her diet and increase her intake of red meat appropriately. He also prescribed her a lot of iron supplements to avoid the possibility of anemia during pregnancy.

This examination made Zhou Qing a little anxious, and his family did increase their intake of various types of pork and beef, cooking them in different ways.

In the first three months, she vomited a lot and didn't eat much. After three months, she stopped vomiting. In fact, she ate a lot, including meat and iron supplements.

However, the value has been stuck and cannot be increased.

This made Zhou Qing feel weak and he had no energy to do anything.

Ever since he had the garlic pork at Shengji Restaurant, Zhou Qing felt like he had become more capable!

Not sure if it's an illusion or what.

But she just felt herself standing up!

The doctor also said that mood during pregnancy is very important.

If you can make yourself feel good, you can keep it.

She went home and told her mother-in-law and her mother, of course, were worried.

Nowadays, even food ingredients are not safe, let alone food outside?

If it weren't for this, both mothers wouldn't have come over as soon as she became pregnant.

Her mother-in-law even gave an example, saying that the fried chicken shop downstairs didn’t change the oil even though it was black. How clean could the food outside be?

However, Zhou Qing felt really comfortable and always wanted to eat again.

This month it was her mother's turn to cook, and she was worried, so she thought of going with her to watch.

Zhou Qing went to work in the morning and slipped out quietly before lunch break.

Her mother came here by bus on time.

After the mother and daughter met up, they stood in the crowd and waited in line.

Now he was given a seat and stood at the front.

Zhou Qing immediately looked at the menu on the wall. From the familiarity of the menu, he knew that this was not his first time eating here.

Mother Zhou also looked around. The first thing she noticed was naturally the hygiene. She then looked towards the back kitchen and saw that it was generally clean.

Mother Zhou felt a little relieved.

Then, he followed Zhou Qing's gaze and looked at the menu.

This look...

Mother Zhou: ???

Oh my god!

Are the prices outside so outrageous now?

After Zhou Qing became pregnant, she ate imported fruits several times, and her mother didn't feel any pain.

but……

A piece of Dongpo pork for 48 yuan?

Well, that means there will be no more than two of them, right?

A plate of lettuce, 38 yuan?

Lettuce costs a few dollars per pound in the market.

Even if that plate contains 5 kilograms, it can't be sold at this price?

Although Mother Zhou was surprised, she didn't show it.

The doctor said that we should take good care of the emotions of pregnant women, so she complained in her heart and thought about complaining about it in the group of old sisters.

This thing is ridiculously expensive!

Zhou Qing had obviously gotten used to it. He had eaten there before and could accept the price now.

There was lobster on the menu, and Zhou Qing was actually quite greedy for it.

However, I was afraid that the seafood was too cold to eat, so I swallowed my saliva and held it in.

She ordered two pieces of Dongpo pork, a portion of lettuce, a portion of young ginger, and two bowls of rice.

Mother Zhou didn't say that the meat was too expensive and she couldn't eat it.

If she doesn't eat, she will have a quarrel with her daughter and be in a bad mood.

never mind……

She can take a few bites of fruit weighing more than 100 yuan per pound, and eat a piece of meat, no problem!

She has to give the young couple several thousand dollars in subsidies every month, so what's wrong with her eating some meat?

The mother and daughter quickly ordered their food and found a seat.

Others came in one after another.

When the old men see Dongpo pork, they don’t think about their blood pressure and blood lipids at all.

"Thinking about that, I don't even know if I can survive past next year. Eat."

"I took blood pressure medicine this morning, so I'm not afraid."

Gentlemen, please be generous!

When the aunts saw the Dongpo pork and smelled the aroma of meat in the store, they couldn't help but drool.

But only one aunt couldn't resist and ordered Dongpo pork. The other aunts were very restrained and ordered lettuce. They also ordered a lobster together.

"I didn't make it yesterday, so I have to eat this lobster today."

"Let's do it for a while, everyone, please be restrained and don't be so shameless as to squeeze too much."

…

The aunts ordered food and chatted and laughed at the same time.

The others who were waiting in line behind them could already smell the rich aroma of meat when they saw Dongpo pork on the menu.

At this time, the Dongpo pork stewed in the rice cooker has already given off a fragrant aroma, and every corner of the shop is filled with the aroma of meat!

In this case, who can resist such tempting food?

So, click!

What?

48 yuan is expensive?

No matter what, just eat it!

Sheng Jiu is looking at the time at this moment.

The Dongpo pork will be ready in about ten minutes.

After the meat is out of the pot, the soup cannot be wasted.

After filtering the seasonings through a strainer, add starch to the soup to thicken it, and then pour it over the bright red meat...

Who can resist the soft, mellow, and juicy Dongpo pork?
