Shangguan Wan'er burst into laughter.
"This treasure isn't that big, is it even capable of understanding you?"
“You don’t understand, this is called prenatal education.” Jiang Tian glanced at the female official Yu’er, then at the palace maid.
These Japanese palace maids were utterly useless.
"From now on, I should try to stay cheerful every day and listen to soothing music for at least an hour each day."
Shangguan Wan'er nodded repeatedly.
In ancient times.
Pregnancy and childbirth are extremely common occurrences for women.
Many women were working in the fields just moments before giving birth.
Many women would boil water, cook, and chop firewood the day before giving birth, making sure nothing was left undone.
Seeing how much Jiang Tian cherished her, Shangguan Wan'er felt a surge of happiness.
In this girl's eyes, she was the happiest woman in the world.
After an incense stick has burned.
Li Shizhen walked over.
"My lord has instructed me to take Miss Shangguan's pulse."
Shangguan Wan'er sat up and placed her hands on the table, with a small pillow underneath.
Li Shizhen closed his eyes to rest and extended his left hand, placing it on Shangguan Wan'er's wrist.
"My lord, both mother and child are healthy."
"Boy or girl?" Before Jiang Tian could even ask, Shangguan Wan'er asked impatiently.
“The fetus is still small, but in my opinion, it should be a boy,” Li Shizhen said, stroking his beard with his right hand.
Shangguan Wan'er: Really? That's wonderful!
The little girl was so happy she almost jumped for joy.
Shangguan Wan'er grabbed Jiang Tian's hand: "Husband, did you hear that clearly? Physician Li said I'm carrying a boy."
"Hmm... Sit down, I'll make you hot pot right now."
Shangguan Wan'er looked at Li Shizhen with a puzzled expression: "Imperial Physician Li, everyone says that sour foods indicate a boy and spicy foods indicate a girl. Since I'm carrying a boy, why do I crave spicy food, and why do I especially want to eat it?"
"Miss Shangguan, the saying that 'sour for men and spicy for women' is not entirely accurate."
Jiang Tian patted Li Shizhen's arm: "Li Shizhen, you can stay here for dinner today. I've prepared hot pot."
Upon hearing this, Li Shizhen quickly waved his hands and said, "My lord, there's no need to be so polite. I'll go back and eat."
"You stay here today, and we can eat while discussing your Compendium of Materia Medica."
Upon hearing this, Li Shizhen was greatly surprised, as he wanted to compile a book on herbal medicine.
It wasn't for any other reason, but because Li Shizhen discovered that the "Compendium of Materia Medica," which had been passed down since the Tang Dynasty, contained many errors and inaccuracies.
Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners who prescribe and dispense medicine according to the "Compendium of Materia Medica" will encounter many problems.
However, Li Shizhen had not yet expressed his idea of writing a book on herbal medicine.
How did Jiang Tian find out?
Moreover, Jiang Tian directly named the book "Compendium of Materia Medica," which was absolutely perfect.
Li Shizhen nodded repeatedly: "In that case, I will respectfully comply."
The group quickly sat down together.
The copper hot pot has been served.
A table was covered with various hot pot ingredients.
Li Shizhen was dumbfounded by the dazzling array of hot pot ingredients.
The hot pot quickly came to a boil.
This hot pot with two broths made Shangguan Wan'er's mouth water.
Jiang Tian shoved in all sorts of things: pig brains, beef balls, pig blood, hot pot noodles, and bean curd sheets.
"It will take a while for these meatballs to cook through." Jiang Tian opened two bottles of soda.
One bottle was presented to Shangguan Wan'er, and another to Li Shizhen.
The young girl, Shangguan Wan'er, picked up the bottle of cola and started drinking it.
Suddenly, Jiang Tian seemed to remember something, and he snatched the cola from Shangguan Wan'er's hand.
"Wan'er, from now on, you should eat less of these junk foods."
"This tastes pretty good, how did it become some kind of junk food?" Shangguan Wan'er asked, puzzled.
Jiang Tian patted Shangguan Wan'er's flat stomach: "Eating and drinking these things is not good for the baby."
Upon hearing that it was bad for the child, Shangguan Wan'er immediately nodded repeatedly.
Li Shizhen: "It should be harmless for Miss Shangguan to drink a little occasionally."
Shangguan Wan'er shook her head vigorously, saying, "I won't do anything that's bad for the child."
Soon, all the "pissing beef balls" floated up.
Each of the "pissing beef balls" swelled to about twice their original size in the yin-yang hot pot.
Shangguan Wan'er's favorite foods are beef balls with pissing sauce, shrimp paste, and hot pot lamb.
The little girl asked cautiously, "Husband, can I eat these things? Are these things good for the baby?"
"Eating it occasionally shouldn't be a problem." Jiang Tian took a small strainer and scooped a few beef balls into Shangguan Wan'er's bowl.
He then placed two more "pissing beef balls" into Li Shizhen's bowl.
"Doctor Li, be careful when eating this stuff, it's very hot with the juice inside."
Li Shizhen picked up the bowl, held the "pissing beef balls" under his nose, and gently smelled them.
"How about it?"
"It has a rich beef aroma." Li Shizhen picked up a beef ball with his chopsticks and blew on it.
This guy probably figured the beef balls had cooled down by now, so he dipped them in the sauce and popped them into his mouth, chewing them heartily.
With a soft "pfft".
A stream of fresh soup gushed out from inside, shooting up two or three meters.
Li Shizhen immediately felt a burning pain in his mouth.
"My lord, what kind of meatball is this? It's so bouncy and juicy inside!"
"I've had soup dumplings before, but I think these meatballs are even more delicious."
"This is called 'pissing beef ball'."
Upon hearing this, Li Shizhen's expression changed.
"My lord, do you mean this house is filled with cow urine?"
Jiang Tian laughed: "No, no, this is filled with fresh beef broth. Be careful when you eat it. Gently bite open a small hole, drink the broth inside, and then eat the meatball on the outside."
Although Li Shizhen's lips were sore from the burn, and the area around his mouth was red and swollen with some blisters.
But he still ate it in big mouthfuls.
Li Shizhen had never tasted anything so delicious.
"Doctor Li, eat slowly, don't burn yourself," Jiang Tian said worriedly.
Li Shizhen: "It's alright, my lord. I have never eaten anything so delicious before."
"If you like to eat hot pot, I'll send you a hot pot and some hot pot ingredients. I can provide you with enough for three meals a day."
Li Shizhen was extremely excited.
Soon, the two began discussing the Compendium of Materia Medica.
Jiang Tian opened the system's medicinal field.
At this moment, his medicinal herb fields have grown to 2,000 mu.
It contains more than 3,000 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines.
"My lord, what you said today has enlightened me greatly." Li Shizhen was so full that he leaned back in his chair, completely disregarding his image.
“My lord, there are many errors and omissions in the Compendium of Materia Medica. I have long wanted to revise it, but I have been struggling with a lack of time and energy.”
