Chapter 163 Tenderness
"What did I say? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Beef is hard to digest and it will cause growth in your stomach. I told you to eat less but you didn't listen.
"Let's go, I'll go for a walk with you." Although Li Wanqing was muttering to herself, she still pulled Gu Yan around in the yard with a distressed look on her face.
Gu Yan did not resist. He just listened to Li Wanqing's nagging with a smile. If she pulled him out for a walk, he would go.
And the look in Li Wanqing's eyes was particularly gentle.
Li Wanqing accidentally raised her eyes and saw Gu Yan looking at her with a silly smile. She couldn't help but scold him with a smile: "Why are you smiling like that? Let's see if you can eat like this again next time."
Gu Yan was not annoyed after being scolded. He smiled and hugged Li Wanqing: "Wife, you are so nice."
Gu Yan didn't say any sweet words or thank you, but just this one sentence contained everything.
Li Wanqing let him hold her for a while before saying, "Okay, is your stomach still hurting? If it's not, let's go back to the room and sleep."
In fact, Gu Yan was not that upset. He just wanted Li Wanqing to care about him more, so he was just pretending.
It was indeed getting late, so Gu Yan didn't hesitate any longer and went back to the house with his arm around Li Wanqing.
The child had fallen asleep long ago and was sleeping soundly on the kang.
The couple hadn't been intimate for some time. They had eaten and drunk enough tonight, and there was nothing to do tomorrow, so they were bound to have some fun.
Because she stayed up too late, Li Wanqing didn't get up in the morning.
Gu Yan was not affected and got up in high spirits early in the morning.
Not only did he get up, he also took the child out, for fear of disturbing Li Wanqing's sleep.
Li Wanqing slept until eight o'clock. She looked to the side and found that there was no one on either side, so she knew that Gu Yan had taken the child out.
Li Wanqing lay down for a while before getting up, getting dressed and washing up.
In the main room separated by a wall, Gu Yan was almost unable to coax Xuanxuan anymore.
"Oh, Xuanxuan, be good. I'll give you milk when your mother wakes up. Now just be quiet for a while." Gu Yan held his son and spun around.
"Bring Xuanxuan in, I'm awake." Li Wanqing heard the sound outside and knew that her son was hungry, so she quickly called him in.
"Wife, you're awake." Gu Yan heard Li Wanqing's words and hurriedly carried his son in.
Li Wanqing didn't have time to deal with Gu Yan. She quickly took her son and lifted up her clothes.
Xuanxuan was really hungry, he took it in his mouth and wouldn't let go, eating it with a "gulp gulp" sound.
"Wife, I'm going to get the donkey meat hotpot, fried dough sticks, and spicy soup that we ordered yesterday. Is there anything else you want to eat? I'll buy it all." Seeing that Li Wanqing had woken up, Gu Yan planned to go out and get the food that they ordered yesterday.
"Okay, go ahead, but you don't need to buy anything else. I'll just have fried dough sticks and tofu pudding today," said Li Wanqing.
"Okay, I'll go first." Gu Yan said and turned to go out.
"Wait, I'll get you a few small jars. Put the tofu pudding and spicy soup directly into the jars." Li Wanqing took out four small jars from the space.
Li Wanqing had no choice but to use the small jar. There were stainless steel buckets and plastic buckets in the space. Wasn't it because she was afraid of being seen by others and it would be difficult to explain? She could only use the small jar.
"This is good. It saves me from having to prepare bowls one by one. Okay, I'm leaving now." Gu Yan moved the small jar to the carriage and left.
After feeding Xuanxuan, Li Wanqing got off the bed to wash up and wait for Gu Yan to buy breakfast.
Half an hour later, when they returned, the carriage was full of food.
"Wife, come quickly." Gu Yan removed the door threshold and drove the carriage into the yard.
"Are you back? Pretty soon?" Li Wanqing agreed and walked out quickly.
"They were all ready when I got there. They were loaded onto the truck. Wife, put them into the space quickly. The fried dough sticks won't be crispy when they get cold." Gu Yan said.
"Okay." Li Wanqing agreed and put all the things into the space one by one.
"Hey, you also bought sesame cakes?" Li Wanqing said, holding an oil-paper bag.
"Well, I thought the sesame cakes were good, so I bought a few. Do you want to try them and see if they are delicious? I saw a lot of people buying them." Gu Yan said.
Li Wanqing was also hungry, so she took out a pancake and took a bite. The pancake was fresh out of the pan and was still hot, but it tasted really good.
"You should try some too. The sesame cakes are really good. I'll serve two bowls of spicy soup to go with it. It should taste even better." Li Wanqing said.
"Let's go inside." Gu Yan unloaded the carriage and said to Li Wanqing.
"Wife, I'm going to sell the herbs and the remaining game this morning, and then I'll go check on the shop in the afternoon. We'll go back tomorrow.
I think the weather is bad these two days. If it snows again, we won’t be able to go back.” Gu Yan also took a pancake and started eating.
"Okay, since we have done everything we need to do, we might as well go back early." Li Wanqing nodded in agreement.
After dinner, Gu Yan asked Li Wanqing to take out the medicinal herbs, and he went to sell them.
Li Wanqing also did not go with them and let Gu Yan go by himself.
"Wife, I sold the medicinal herbs for two hundred and sixty-five taels of silver. I give them to you." Gu Yan excitedly handed the banknote in his hand to Li Wanqing.
"Wow, the prices offered by the pharmacies in the provincial capital are indeed higher than those in the county town. There aren't many medicinal herbs, but they were sold for so much silver." Li Wanqing happily collected the banknotes.
"The shopkeeper said that our herbs are old and well-prepared, so the price is a bit higher.
He also told us to come to him if we need any medicinal herbs in the future, and he would definitely give us a satisfactory price." Gu Yan poured himself a glass of water and drank it.
"That's fine. We go there every year anyway to collect rent from the shop and sell game. It's no big deal to add medicinal herbs now," said Li Wanqing.
"I think so too. Since we can sell it for more money in the capital, of course we should bring it to the capital to sell. Aren't we working so hard just to make more money?" Gu Yan also said.
"Yes, we will definitely sell it to whoever offers the highest price." Li Wanqing agreed.
"Wife, how many prey do we have left to sell? I'll see how much I can sell this morning." Gu Yan put down the cup. Gu Yan had to go out and sell the prey.
"I've left some for ourselves; there are still six buffaloes and eighteen wild sheep.
You can sell them as you see fit. It doesn't matter if you can't sell them all, we can sell them again when we return to the county town." Li Wanqing counted them and said.
"Well, we only have a few preys here. The city is so big, we can definitely sell several of them to big restaurants, and we can get a good price." Gu Yan asked Li Wanqing to take out a bison and a wild sheep and then went out again.
Gu Yan had indeed not lied, he had gone back and forth several times and had indeed sold all of them, and the price was not low.
"Wife, this is three hundred taels of silver, keep it.
And this, I bought it for you, you can keep it and wear it." In addition to bringing back silver on his last trip, Gu Yan also bought a gold bracelet for Li Wanqing.
