"What time is it now?" Zhong Yuxiu asked belatedly.
Yan Rushan looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "It's half past three. Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
"It's already half past three. I've only slept for over three hours. No wonder you're back."
So, my wife is asking about the time for this matter?
Yan Rushan: “….”
"Grandpa and I were gone for over half an hour before we came back. Grandma Luo agreed. We'll go to Grandma Luo for prenatal checkups starting next month. Since this is your third child, Grandma Luo will start observing you a few months in advance."
"Then should I go directly to Grandma Luo for the pregnancy checkup next month?"
Yan Rushan nodded. "Yes, starting next month, go directly to see Grandma Luo. She also reminded me to eat more fish, eggs, fruits, and vegetables. These are the best foods for pregnant women."
It is indeed the best at the moment.
Zhong Yuxiu smiled and nodded, "It seems that Grandma Luo is a very kind old lady."
"Well, Grandma Luo has always been very kind and hospitable since she was young. When Luo San and I went out to play, Grandma Luo would prepare candy, dried fish, dried meat and other snacks for us." Yan Rushan couldn't help but tell her about a funny story from his childhood. "Once, Wu Chao came back from Grandma Luo's house and asked his parents why someone who wasn't his biological grandmother could give him so much meat and fish. And why his parents didn't give him meat for three days, and wondered if he was really their son. I was there at the time. Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu didn't say anything in front of us, but after they got home, they gave him a beating and didn't give him meat for a month."
"Hungry Wu Chao often came to us to ask for food. During that time, his favorite place to go was Grandma Luo's house." The old man of the Qiu family loved to eat meat, and there were often meat dishes at home.
One can imagine the scene at that time. Zhong Yuxiu shook her head and chuckled, and learned more interesting stories about their childhood from Yan Rushan.
After chatting for a while, it was already past four o'clock. Yan Rushan helped her sit up from the bed, and then he got out of bed and put on her shoes for her. He then helped her put on her coat and helped her walk out of the room and down the stairs.
"Come, sit down. I'll go to the kitchen to see if there's anything to eat." After the two went downstairs, Yan Rushan placed the person on the sofa.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded slightly, her hand subconsciously stroking her lower abdomen, "I'm thirsty, I wonder if Goudan prepared any juice."
"I think so. I'll get it for you." After saying that, he hurried to the kitchen. When he entered the kitchen, Yan Rushan saw Hao Nan and Tian Shangguo helping, so he asked, "Comrade Hao, Comrade Tian, do you have any juice or snacks prepared?"
Haonan turned around with a smile, "Comrade Yan, you and Comrade Zhong are up."
"There's some juice, it's being warmed in the steamer over there. Please take it to Comrade Zhong." Tian Shangguo went straight to the point. Unlike Haonan's greeting, he was used to being brief.
"Okay, thank you."
Yan Rushan walked to the stove, opened the steamer, and found a large ceramic bowl of juice inside; next to the juice were snacks, steamed buns, white fungus soup and porridge. He selected a few and brought them out.
"Wife, look, we have Tremella soup, juice and porridge. Which one do you want to drink?" As she spoke, the food was brought to her.
Zhong Yuxiu took a look and only offered the juice, "Drink this first."
"Okay, I'll leave it here for you. Take it whenever you want to eat it." There's no need to send it to the kitchen.
Zhong Yuxiu took a sip of juice and saw his handsome face smiling as he stared at her without touching the snacks he had brought. "Don't you want to eat?"
"I'm not hungry, so you don't need to eat. These are all prepared for you." Yan Rushan shook his head lightly, and the smile in his eyes became more intense. "If it's not enough, I'll bring you more."
"This is enough. Dinner will be served soon." He finished eating the food in front of him to fill his stomach. The main course had to wait until it was ready.
Yan Rushan nodded indulgently, "I saw Goudan making minced meat and mashed potatoes for you in the kitchen, and there was the aroma of steamed fish in the steamer."
"You cooked fish again?"
"Eating more fish is good for you and the children. Honey, are you tired of it?" His wife loves to eat it. If she is resistant to something, it is probably because she is tired of it.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded obediently, "These past few days, there's fish every day. How can I not get tired of it?"
"Try a different kind of fish?" Yan Rushan said, "Silver pomfret, mullet, snakehead fish, sandfish, and catfish are the only species we've had recently. Do you have any you'd like to try? If not, I'll have someone keep an eye out for some other fish."
A bit exaggerated!
Zhong Yuxiu smacked her lips, "There's no need for that."
"We're tired of eating silver carp. Let's try something else."
Zhong Yuxiu didn't know how to dissuade the man who insisted on her eating fish. "Then let's go with sandfish and catfish. Silver pomfret would also be fine. I'll get the sandfish and have Goudan pan-fry it. We can eat it for fun every day."
"Okay, then I'll go out for a while and bring back some more sandfish." Then he'll see if there's any other food. Pregnant women have picky tastes, so Yuxiu's like this is good enough; but he doesn't want Yuxiu to suffer any injustice, so she should have what others have.
"Okay, just drive slowly."
His wife wanted to eat fish, so he waved his hand happily and left.
After going out, Yan Rushan borrowed a car to go to the market downstairs. The things they brought back were now sold at stalls on various streets; for example, edible fish were basically sold outside, and expensive things were sold in the store by buying a shop.
Once the scale is expanded, it will not be easy to sell it.
They also manage the black market business, but they don't pay much attention to it anymore; they focus more on company management and business development, and what they did before are just small-scale operations.
An hour later, Yan Rushan brought back a basket of fish, including the sandfish, catfish, and silver pomfret that Zhong Yuxiu specifically requested, as well as crucian carp and capelin.
Crucian carp is a great dish for frying or stir-frying, and sardine is also good when pan-fried. Moreover, sardine has a lot of fish roe, which is highly nutritious and rich in trace elements, mineral salts, and protein. When you take a bite, the thin fish bones burst between your lips and teeth.
How delicious it is.
Zhong Yuxiu was delighted to see this and said, "Why are you still importing so many fish? Many of them are only available in other provinces. Aren't you worried that they won't be fresh when they are shipped back?"
The most feared thing when transporting fish is that the fish die. If the fish die, they are no longer fresh. On the way, the fish are extremely fragile and most of them are often killed or injured.
"They have been doing this for two years and have experience. These fish are not common in the north and sell at a high price, so the profit is huge." Scarcity makes things valuable, and things that are lacking are often what people crave.
With the improvement of the economy, the existence of self-employed individuals is allowed, and everyone is gradually entering the ranks of the well-off and wealthy; eating some fish is no longer a big deal.
Yan Rushan and others grasped the psychology of the masses, so they dared to transport things that others dared not get and sell them; the small number of sellers meant exclusive business, and there was no opportunity to compare prices, so they had the final say on the price.
"We brought back over 8,000 kilograms in total, and now we still have over 1,000 kilograms left."
"There are many people in Beijing who can afford to buy them, so they should be sold out soon." Zhong Yuxiu thought clearly. Fish such as sandfish and sardines are not available every day; you may be able to buy them the first time, but not the second time.
