Chapter 423 Departure to the Capital
Wenwen Naonao is at the stage of being curious and wants to touch and look at everything.
As long as they are awake, the adults have to take turns watching them, for fear that they will be in danger if they are not careful.
Wen Yongman saw Huanhuanxi fall asleep, then walked over to Wen Zhenyi and said, "Sister, my aunt's herbal tea shop is doing better than before."
"Because of the milk tea?"
"Yeah, any company that wants to imitate them can't do that. They don't have that many cows."
“This is a unique one.”
"It's unique. The franchise stores we signed with before are doing very well now. Some merchants from other places have also come to me and want to join them, but I have rejected them all."
"Let them talk when we return from the capital."
"That's what I told them. You're feeling better now, and I don't want you to overwork yourself."
Wen Zhenyi raised his hand to touch his head, but found that he could no longer touch it: "You have really grown taller."
Wen Yongman puffed out his chest proudly: "Of course, I will protect you and your family in the future."
"Speaking of which, has your martial arts skills declined?"
"No, I exercise every day. I'm not lazy. One experience like that is enough."
Wen Zhenyi smiled and nodded: "Axiang is at the dock in the county town, right?"
"Well, she left the child with Master Cheng and went to the capital with us."
"That's good. Little Abu is here. It would be unreasonable for her not to show up."
"Sister, have a good rest. I'm going back to my cabin."
Wen Zhen nodded and watched him leave. He took a book and sat on the Luohan chair beside the bed, cross-legged and began to read.
Shen Hanxing was about to come back to see if they were asleep. When he came in, he saw her reading quietly. The two children were already asleep. "Why don't you rest?"
Wen Zhenyi put down the book in his hand and said, "Listening to the sound of the river outside, I feel a little uncomfortable."
Chen Hanxing walked over to her and sat down: “Your body was seriously injured this time. Shi Xuan asked you to rest more when you are free and recover as soon as possible.”
Wen Zhenyi leaned on his shoulder: "Sleep with me for a while."
"Let's go." Chen Hanxing picked her up horizontally, walked to the bed and gently put her down.
The two of them lay on the edge of the bed, leaving most of the space for the two children, Huanhuan and Xixi.
This time they were going to the capital by boat. Sometimes they would not come across a city for ten days or eight months. Even if there was a city, there was no dock for the ship to dock.
Every time they stopped, Wen Zhenyi would grab Ma Yinghe to buy a lot of food, which had to be easy to preserve and ensure that the children had enough nutrition.
Eggs are naturally indispensable, and when passing through the city, they will buy some meat.
When they came, they also brought a lot of sausages, bacon, ham and other foods, which are easy to preserve.
As for vegetables, you can choose potatoes, melons and beans, which are easier to preserve for a long time.
Occasionally I go to the city to buy some leafy vegetables to satisfy my hunger.
But even so, with Wen Zhenyi around, they still ate well.
Wen Zhenyi also made clay pot rice with bacon and sausage.
Wash the rice and cook it in a 1:1 ratio with two tablespoons of cooking oil. Slice the sausage and bacon and set aside. Blanch the carrots and vegetables.
When the rice is cooked until there is no water on the surface, spread the chopped sausage and bacon on the surface of the rice, then put the blanched vegetables on it, crack an egg and put it in and simmer for a while.
At this time, you also need to prepare a sauce, and when the rice is cooked, pour it into the rice grains, and you will have a fragrant clay pot rice.
Life on the boat is boring, but because of Wen Zhenyi's delicious food, this boredom becomes something to look forward to.
Old Man Wen really likes the rice crust in clay pot rice: "This rice crust is so fragrant."
"Grandpa, it's because you have good teeth. If it were someone else, you wouldn't be able to eat it."
The boatman also ate with Wen Zhenyi and the others, and every time they ate, he would sigh, "Mrs. Shen, now that you are here, we are afraid that we won't be able to eat anything."
"You learned when I did it, and you can do it yourself in the future."
"We're just worried it won't taste as good as yours."
“It’s hard to please everyone, just make the flavor you like.”
"You're right."
Wenwen and Naonao can already eat some rice. The rice in the clay pot rice is added with oil and tastes very fragrant. Both children like it very much.
As for Huan Huanxi, who was happily watching their clay pot rice, his saliva was flowing from the corners of his mouth. He stretched out his hands to eat while shouting in his mouth: "Take it, take it, take it."
But it made everyone laugh.
Shen Xiucai scratched their little noses and said, "Little greedy cats."
The two children were attracted by his words and smiled sweetly.
Wen Zhenyi can now add complementary foods to the two children. In order to prevent the two children from going hungry, they also carry two cows in the cabin.
Wen Zhenyi made pumpkin rice porridge for them today. It was sweet without adding anything to it, and the two children loved it the most.
Before coming out, he asked Qin Yue to help make a lot of yogurt melts as snacks for the children.
Wenwen and Naonao can eat now, but Huanhuan and Xixi cannot taste the yogurt beans as a snack yet.
Old Lady Wen and Ma Yinghe finished their meal first, then took the two little ones over and fed them complementary food.
Wen Zhenyi finally had the chance to eat her own meal, otherwise these two naughty ghosts would not let her eat properly.
After drifting on the river for so long, she had forgotten how long they had been out. "Husband, how long have we been out?"
"A month and a half."
"No wonder these two little guys are starting to learn to crawl."
"If you say fast, it's fast. If you say slow, it's slow."
Wen Zhenyi looked at the scenery outside the cabin. He didn't know when the scenery outside had changed and was no longer full of green.
“It feels like the weather is starting to change.”
"It's not that the weather has started to change, but we've moved to a different place and you can see the obvious change of seasons."
"When do you think we'll arrive in the capital?"
"If nothing unexpected happens on the way, it should be snowing heavily when we reach the capital."
"Is it snowing heavily?" Wen Zhenyi looked at the scenery outside. It seemed that she had not seen heavy snow since she came here.
"Yes, it's all white, but it looks especially beautiful with the red lanterns."
"It seems we will be celebrating the New Year in Beijing this year."
"That's true unless something unexpected happens." Chen Hanxing walked over to her and closed the window in front of her: "You haven't fully recovered yet. If you stay in the wind for too long, you'll feel uncomfortable again."
Wen Zhenyi felt a little helpless. His body had been injured this time and had not yet recovered. He often got sick from catching a cold due to the wind.
