Chapter 133 Bought Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs
"Gu Yan, take this to Shopkeeper Liu first, and then you can go directly to the restaurant. Order a few more dishes, don't be stingy.
We'll live in the county town from now on. Having more friends means having more options. You never know when you might need help." Li Wanqing dug up two seven-leaf lily plants from her space.
The reason why this seven-leafed flower is precious is that it is rare, even rarer than ginseng.
Secondly, this seven-leafed aconite has a characteristic: it must be alive and freshly dug out of the soil to be used as medicine.
Moreover, the seven-leaf lily is usually found in deep mountains and old forests. Even if you dig it out immediately, it will take two or three days for it to age, and its medicinal effect will be greatly reduced.
Not everyone has the convenience of space like Li Wanqing.
Some people thought of planting it in a flowerpot like Li Wanqing did, but the reason why the seven-leaf lily is precious is that its survival conditions are very harsh.
It won't survive if you dig it out and replant it.
"Okay, I got it. How about you come with me at noon, wife?" Gu Yan was busy planting the seven-leaf lily in the flowerpot.
"I won't go. You guys are drinking, and it's not convenient for a woman like me to follow you.
I'll ask Aunt Qiu to do something casual in the afternoon." Li Wanqing didn't want to go. They were all grown men drinking, so what was the point of her, a woman, following them?
Besides, she had been busy for half a day with her bulging belly and was already tired. A quick bite at noon would be enough.
Seeing that his wife really didn't want to go, Gu Yan stopped trying to persuade her. He made up his mind to buy two dishes from the restaurant and send them back to his wife first.
"You should go quickly. This medicine cannot be kept for too long, otherwise it will lose its effectiveness." Li Wanqing said again.
"Okay, I'll go first. Wife, you don't have to rush to eat. I'll ask the restaurant to make two of your favorite dishes and send them back to you later." After Gu Yan finished speaking, he went out with the flower pot.
After Gu Yan left, Aunt Qiu and the others went to clean up their own room. Li Wanqing took off her shoes and sat on the kang, leaning against the pile of quilts.
Li Wanqing had been busy all morning and felt her calves were a little tense.
I lifted my pants and saw that my calves were a little swollen. It seemed like I had walked too much today.
Li Wanqing took out a pillow and placed it under her calf, which would raise her calf and make her feel more comfortable.
As soon as Gu Yan went out, he went to Dejitang, where Manager Liu was waiting for him.
"Uncle Liu, take a look and see if this is the seven-leaf lily you want?" Gu Yan didn't waste any words and put the flowerpot directly on the counter.
"Yes, this is the seven-leafed gentian. How did you do it? This medicinal herb is so fresh. I have grown it before, but it died after a few days." Shopkeeper Liu said, looking at the clever leaves.
"That's fine, these were planted by Wanqing, I don't understand either.
By the way, Uncle Liu, let's go to the Banquet Hall for lunch today. Li Yaren will also be there. Uncle Liu, you can't refuse." Gu Yan took the opportunity to talk about the treat.
"What? The house was bought so quickly?" When Manager Liu heard that Li Yaren was also involved, he knew that Gu Yan wanted to thank him and Li Yaren.
"Well, it just so happens that Li Yaren has a suitable set, so we bought it." Gu Yan nodded.
"That's good, it's just right for us to clean up now, and Miss Li can give birth in the county town.
When the children grow up, they will need to learn to read and write, and it would be more convenient to have a house in the county town." Shopkeeper Liu, like a true elder, took everything into consideration for them.
"I thought so too, so I bought a house near the academy." Gu Yan said.
"Well, you are right to think so." said Manager Liu.
While the two were talking, Doctor Yao came back from his medical consultation and heard that Manager Liu had obtained two seven-leaf lily plants, so he trotted over.
"Boss, boss, where is the Seven-Leaf Flower? Let me see it quickly." Doctor Yao ran out of breath.
"Isn't it here? Don't touch it. Do you think you can touch it? Be careful not to knock the leaves off." Shopkeeper Liu angrily slapped Doctor Yao's hand away.
"Hey, what's wrong with me touching it? How can it hurt?" Doctor Yao said unconvinced, but he didn't reach out his hand again.
"Okay, I'll give you a chance. You can prepare the medicine for Old Lady Zhang yourself. Here, this plant with seven leaves and one flower is enough. You can take it." Manager Liu originally wanted to do it himself.
But since Gu Yan was treating me to a meal, I'd let Lao Yao handle it. He already had another plant, and he was trying to see if he could keep it alive.
"You really want me to prepare it? Then I won't be polite. The fresher the herbs are, the better. I'll go now." Doctor Yao happily went to the back holding the flower pot.
Shopkeeper Liu then properly placed the remaining pot of seven-leafed lily before following Gu Yan to the restaurant.
When they arrived, Li Ya's men had not arrived yet, so Gu Yan asked the waiter to serve refreshments to Manager Liu.
Then he took the food that the restaurant had prepared in advance and went home to deliver it to Li Wanqing.
"Wife, wife, wake up. Eat your meal while it's still hot before going to sleep." When Gu Yan came back, he saw Li Wanqing sleeping on the quilt.
"Oh~ you're back?" Li Wanqing opened her eyes in a daze and saw Gu Yan's big face.
"Well, I asked the restaurant to fry two dishes and sent them back to you first, so eat them quickly.
These are the buns I bought for Aunt Qiu and the others, so they don't have to cook. "Gu Yan put the table on the kang and placed the food on the table.
"You bought me sweet and sour pork ribs? What is this?" Li Wanqing immediately smelled the special sweet and sour smell of sweet and sour pork ribs.
"This is fried leeks with large kolmai (kolmai is a large dough made by mixing mung bean flour with white flour).
"You think you'd like this dish? I even bought you a box of fried croaker. If you're tired of it, try some cucumber. The restaurant doesn't have any fresh dishes at this time of year." Gu Yan arranged the three dishes one by one.
"Okay, I get it. You should leave quickly. It's not good to keep Manager Liu and Li Ya Ren waiting for a long time." Li Wanqing said.
"I'm leaving now. Wife, you try it. If you don't like it, don't force yourself. Eat the food in the space first or ask Aunt Qiu to make it for you, otherwise go buy some more." Gu Yan kept giving instructions before leaving, feeling uneasy.
"I understand. Go ahead and leave."
After receiving Li Wanqing's affirmative answer, Gu Yan hurried out.
Li Wanqing picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs with a smile and put it in her mouth.
She can eat anything, and there is plenty of food in the space.
But she was still very satisfied with Gu Yan's thoughts.
Men cannot be spoiled. They must be accustomed to being nice to their wives.
If you always tell a man that you are a good person, he will always reject you when he wants to be nice to you.
Then, over time, men will form a habit.
This is also the reason why she did not refuse when Gu Yan asked her to bring her food, even though she had steamed buns, wontons, dumplings, and even stir-fried dishes in her space.
