Chapter 186 Pregnancy
"Wanwan, you heard what Lord Qin said today. What do you think?"
Jiang Wan rolled over on the bamboo mat, then leaned over and said seriously, "Actually, I am quite tempted by both methods, but I feel it is better to cooperate with the government."
She can buy the mountains and land herself when she has enough money, but it is not easy to get in touch with the government.
Their family was exiled here, without any foundation. Although the villagers are doing well now, their family will only attract more and more attention if they make more and more money.
Without the support of a clan, making too much money will also be a burden.
Therefore, Jiang Wan believed that being able to establish contact with the government was an opportunity that could not be missed.
Anyway, the recipe is not sold out all at once. With the government's intervention, the sales of oyster sauce and snacks will only increase. With the support of the mountain and an endless supply of money, it is not a loss no matter how you calculate it.
"In fact, what I want most is to change my household registration to a good citizen, so that my family won't have to send anyone to serve in the military, and it won't be a problem if I want to own a business in the future."
Who wants to be a bad citizen when they can be a good citizen?
In this era, vulgar people had the same status as actors and prostitutes, and were even worse than slaves.
It was only after hearing what her mother said that Jiang Wan understood the difference.
In the past, there was a rule that the good and the bad could not intermarry, but this is not the case on Lizhou Island.
In short, a good citizen's household registration is still very important.
Yin Huaixi thought so too.
"I want to wait until Mr. Qin comes again next time to change your uncle's household registration so that we can get less share."
Jiang Wan had no objection.
Her uncle's family was so nice, she couldn't bear to see them living in poverty.
The mother and daughter reached a consensus and then went to bed soundly.
The night was long and the village was silent.
On a tree not far away, Li Xiao saw that the lights in the yard were off, so he leaned against the tree to rest.
The next morning, Jiang Wan got up early, which was a rare occasion.
She made an appointment with Lian Yue today and wanted to go with him to see a place suitable for growing oysters.
But before she could leave the house, guests came to visit.
The person who came was Mr. Zhang from Zuiyipin.
"Miss Jiang, your cooking skills are really good! Squid strips are very popular with customers."
Jiang Wan understood immediately after hearing this. This meant that the sales were good and they had repeat customers.
"Boss Zhang, are you here to buy more goods?"
Zhang Huai nodded and shook his head.
"Miss Jiang, I'm not here just to buy goods this time, I also want to sign a long-term supply contract with you."
If he only wanted to buy shredded squid, he could just send someone over and he wouldn't have to take the time to make a special trip.
"Boss, how long do you want the contract to be?"
Zhang Huai raised a finger.
"A month?"
"Of course not. One month is not a long term. I want a year."
Jiang Wan was secretly happy, but her expression remained calm.
"One year... That's a lot. There probably won't be that many squids in two months, but I can guarantee the quantity of fish fillets. What do you think, Boss Zhang?"
Zhang Huai has eaten squid shreds and grilled fish fillets.
The scents are similar, so the selling prices shouldn't be much different. But he was still a little cautious.
"Then I'll buy some more fish fillets and try selling them. If they're similar to the squid shreds, then it's fine."
Zhang Huai finally bought 20 kilograms of fish fillets and also packed up all the remaining squid shreds.
I earned five taels of silver. Apart from the cost of the catch, I also had to pay more than two hundred coins to my aunt, plus the cost of the barbecue sauce, so my net profit was more than three taels.
It seems that the money can't be earned as quickly as oyster sauce, but this thing is more stable than oyster sauce.
There is the problem of insufficient production of oyster sauce, and also the problem of tides. Once the tide goes out at night, the supply will be cut off.
As for the ingredients of squid shreds and fish fillets, she can buy the freshest ones every day except during typhoons.
The main ingredients of barbecue sauce are sweet bean paste and soybean paste. The amount of spices used is not large, and you can buy some once in a while in the city and it will last for a long time.
Therefore, this transaction is more stable.
Jiang Wan is confident that Boss Zhang will come to the fishing village again to buy grilled fish fillets, but her aunt probably won’t be able to come over, right?
It was almost evening before we could get the fish. It took a lot of time to process dozens of kilograms of fish, plus the baking time. It was good if we could go to bed before midnight.
Jiang Wan didn't want to ruin her aunt's health, so asking her to gain twenty kilograms a day would be too much.
If there are more people who want to buy fish fillets and squid shreds in the future, she will have to consider finding other female workers in the village.
She was just thinking about it when she suddenly saw a little boy running towards the door.
Looking anxious.
"Sister Xiaowan, where is your mother? My aunt suddenly fainted!!"
Before Jiang Wan could say anything, Yin Huaixi came out of the pharmacy with a medicine box.
"Come on, let me go and take a look."
The two of them went out in a hurry.
The person who came to call people was Zhou Li from the Zhou family. The second aunt he was talking about was Aunt Xu.
Jiang Wan liked her very much. She didn’t know how she got dizzy. She hoped she was okay.
At this moment Jiang Wan had already rejected Lian Yue. Thinking that she had nothing to do, she planned to draw the style of desk she wanted and then find a carpenter to customize one.
The orb slipped in at this moment.
"Okay, you've been lazying around since my mom left."
Orb: “…”
"I came to you because I know you like to hear those gossips. Humph, if you don't want to hear them, forget it."
Baozhu was about to leave, but Jiang Wan quickly pulled her back.
"I was wrong, I was wrong. Sister Baozhu is very generous. What gossip do you want to tell me?"
Jiang Wan immediately put away his pen and listened attentively.
"It's Aunt Xu from the Zhou family. My mother saw her vomiting twice in the past few days and said she might be pregnant."
"Ah...pregnant? Then why did she faint this time?"
Baozhu shook her head. She didn’t know about that.
"Maybe he's weak. After all, he just came from exile. He won't be able to recover in a month or two."
The Zhou family is not as good at making money as Jiang Wan, nor does they have a doctor like Yin Huaixi to take good care of their family members.
The Zhou family became well-off during the early days when Zhou Laoer started working as a tutor, and it hasn’t been long since then.
The whole family has probably just started recuperating.
Jiang Wan couldn't help but feel a little worried.
It is absolutely inappropriate for Aunt Xu to be pregnant at this time. It feels very harmful to her health.
Yin Huaixi also said this after taking the patient's pulse.
Her suggestion was to abort the baby, take good care of the mother's body, and then get pregnant again after a year or so so as not to cause too much harm to the body.
At this time, there were only her and Zhou's sisters-in-law in the room, so Yin Huaixi spoke more bluntly.
"Your bodies haven't recovered yet. Getting pregnant at this time will cause great harm to the mother. And I remember that Zhou Er had to abstain from sex for a while after he fell into the water last time. Sister Xu, why don't you hold back?"
Xu Mingwei's pale face suddenly turned red.
Not only did she not hesitate, she also took the initiative.
