Chapter 156 155. Water Chestnuts, Planting Water Chestnuts, Planning to Make Money Fatty

Maternal and Child Health Hospital.

Pediatrics.

Xing Wenxiao brought her two-year-old baby Taotao, who has completed various examinations and is having regular checkups with the outpatient doctor.

As a new mother, Xing Wenxiao takes good care of her baby. She takes her baby to have a physical checkup every three months before he is one year old, and every six months after he is one year old.

I thought that since they were both novices, if there was anything they did wrong in the process of raising the child, it could be detected and corrected early.

The child is now two years old and has grown very... big.

The child looks about the same as other three-year-old babies. Xing Wenxiao and his wife are of average height. I think there won't be any problems when the child grows up.

During this examination, Xing Wenxiao told the doctor about his concerns as soon as he came in.

The doctor looked at the examination report just now and didn't find any problems. She told Xing Wenxiao not to worry and she would check it carefully again.

"Ah, open your mouth and let auntie see your teeth."

"Hey, Taotao is so good. Stand up. Stand here. Let's measure your height and weight again."

"Okay, don't move your head. Auntie will measure Taotao's head circumference."

"OK……"

The big baby has been to the hospital so many times that he has gotten used to it. He holds the toy given by the aunt in the white coat and does whatever she asks him to do. He is so well behaved.

The pediatrician wrote down all the values ​​and checked them carefully against the data from previous examinations.

She smiled and said to Xing Wenxiao, "The baby is very healthy, there is nothing wrong with him, and his teeth are developing very well."

"So he's this big?"

"It may be that the baby is developing well, or will grow very tall."

"How high can it be?"

"As tall as a basketball player."

"Hahahaha, no way, that's too high."

Since they had been here several times and knew each other, the pediatrician made a joke.

Then he started asking about some daily situations, such as eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping.

Also, "What do you usually eat? How many meals a day? How much for each meal?"

"He has been eating complementary food for the past six months, and recently started to eat ordinary meals with us. The complementary food is vegetable and fruit puree, and there are lots of water chestnuts." Xing Wenxiao replied.

"Water chestnuts?" The pediatrician paused and repeated.

Xing Wenxiao was very nervous and asked hurriedly, "Is there anything wrong with Water Chestnut?"

"No, no." The pediatrician shook his head and smiled, "We found the reason why Taotao grew taller. It's the water chestnut."

Then he explained: "Water chestnuts have the highest phosphorus content among root vegetables. Phosphorus can promote the development of baby's teeth and bones. They are especially suitable for children. As long as you are not allergic, you can eat more. You are doing the right thing."

"So that's how it is. Thank you." Xing Wenxiao was very happy and felt that he was extremely lucky.

After coming out of the Maternal and Child Health Hospital, I called Su Jing.

"Su Jing, thank you. I'll buy some more water chestnuts."

"Okay, but the water chestnuts are almost gone."

"Ah?" Xing Wenxiao just felt very lucky to have bought a lot of water chestnuts, but how come they are gone? "Then what else do you have?"

"Carrots and celery. Celery supplements iron and replenishes blood. Carrots contain carotene, which is good for the baby's eyes and skin. There are also tomatoes, which stimulate the secretion of gastric juice and aid digestion. The more you eat, the more you poop." Su Jing is now very professional. She can talk about everything related to babies. She has been to the pediatric department quite often these days.

Xing Wenxiao was moved when he heard it, and nodded repeatedly over the phone, "I want both, I want both, I'll find you tonight."

"Okay, come on."

After hanging up the phone, Xing Wenxiao picked up her big baby with great effort and put him in the stroller. "Taotao, we need to grow tall, with big eyes and good skin, and charm all the girls. It's okay to play basketball, but that's too tall."

Every mother imagines what her baby will look like when he grows up, and that he will always be the best no matter where he is.

It is also a kind of happiness.

It will probably continue until I start school and help with my homework, and then my fantasy will be shattered. You stupid kid are going to piss me off to death!

at night.

Xing Wenxiao and her husband took some gifts and pushed their son Taotao to Su Jing's house. The two mothers closed the door and whispered to each other inside, while the two fathers stared at the two children crawling outside.

After a long while, Xing Wenxiao came out from the inner room, thanking them repeatedly, took her things, and took her baby to say goodbye to her godmother and her brother.

Left Su Jing's house.

As soon as she went downstairs, Xing Wenxiao began to scold her husband, and warned him righteously not to snatch food from the baby again.

Xing Wenxiao's husband felt wronged, "You eat more than me."

"I was just trying it out, why are you not convinced?"

"No, no." Xing Wenxiao's husband admitted his mistake very readily.

In fact, what he said in his heart was that he didn’t dare, he didn’t dare…
-
A few days ago, Dad Luo bought the water chestnut seeds.

Water chestnut seeds are rather difficult to handle. They need to be disinfected and catalyzed in moist sand, which involves many steps.

So I didn’t make it myself this year, I just bought a ready-made one.

After buying the water chestnut seeds, I asked three little Luos to grow the seedlings.

Luo Yihang had seen that this was included in the work assigned to them.

The water chestnut seedlings are now about 30 centimeters tall and can be planted at any time.

The water chestnuts that are germinated in April, transplanted in June and harvested around the beginning of winter are called "early water water chestnuts"; the water chestnuts that are germinated in May, planted in July and harvested at the winter solstice are called "late water water chestnuts"; the water chestnuts that are raised in late June to early July and planted after late July are called "late water water chestnuts".

Luo's father has been planting late water chestnuts these years. They can be harvested from the Minor Cold to the Spring Equinox. It's okay if you don't harvest them, they won't rot in the fields.

If you haven't planted anything yet, you're actually just waiting to harvest the beans.

Dad Luo has experience and knows that the time for harvesting beans and planting water chestnuts is almost the same.

There was also corn. The corn had already been picked and Luo Yihang took it to the barbecue restaurant.

Liu Piaoliang found a vacuum packaging machine, and when there were no customers in the store, everyone worked together to vacuum-pack the corns one by one and put them in the refrigerator for use whenever needed.

In the catering industry, a refrigerator is essential, and I have two big ones in the kitchen.

Now the beans, corn and water chestnuts have been harvested, and the vegetable field is almost empty.

Luo's father called Lao Zhao and spent a day turning over all the land.

Luo Yihang also poured in the three tons of fertilizer that Qiang Wa bought as base fertilizer.

Dry the beans and thresh them with a thresher.

Following the instructions of the agricultural machinery station, buy and plant vegetable seedlings.

Plant water chestnuts.

Planting corn.

The field that was originally planted with corn was planted with another crop of summer corn.

Although corn juice may not seem like a big deal in barbecue restaurants, it is often ordered in large quantities.

A corn, milk and a spoonful of maltose, 59 yuan a pot. We can sell dozens of pots every day, so the profit is very high.

When the hot corn juice is sold in winter, it will definitely be more popular, so we have to stock up more.

Several days have passed in a busy manner.
-
I've been busy during the day these days and have no time to set up the formation at night.

I finally finished everything today.

There is nothing to confess.

Luo Yihang was thinking about going there later and coming back earlier, and going out to practice at night.

However, Liu Piaoliang called and asked Luo Yihang to stay for a while after he finished checking the accounts in the evening as she had something to discuss.

What's going on?
When Luo Yihang came over in the evening, it was almost 10 o'clock and there were still two tables of guests left.

There was a young couple at one table. They must have just finished watching a movie upstairs and came down to eat something to replenish their energy while waiting for the next show.

There was only one person at the other table, and there were a few grilled skewers, some chicken wings, two skewers of fried mushrooms, and a bottle of beer on the table.

There wasn't much stuff, and Liu Piaoliang was there to keep him company.

Looks like a regular customer.

"Boss Liu, what's wrong with me? I can't sleep without a midnight snack every night. I'm not hungry, but I'm worried." The old customer took a bite of meat and a sip of wine, chewing and talking, looking very busy.

Liu Piaoliang picked up the bottle and filled it up for him. "Let me tell you, in ancient times, there were always people who protected the tribe in the middle of the night. These people had to maintain their best physical strength to fight against the beasts that attacked them. So they developed the habit of eating at night. This habit has been passed down for thousands and tens of thousands of years, and it has become part of their blood. So your bloodline has awakened. Your ancestor was a great hero, a patron saint, and this is what he passed down to you..."

"So that's how it is." The old customer suddenly realized, "Now I understand, Boss Liu, you really know a lot. Then grill me two more chicken wings, and I'll have a good chat with my ancestor."

This guy jumped down as soon as he was given a step. He came down really quickly.

"Okay, I'll light it for you right away." Liu Piaoliang agreed.

I saw Luo Yihang coming over again and asked him to go behind the counter.

I ordered two chicken wings first, and then told Luo Yihang something.

"Brother Luo, Fatty Qian's store is now open."

"Oh?" Luo Yihang was curious, "What are you going to do?"

"Of course, we'll get him." Liu Piaoliang said firmly.

He really hated Fatty Qian without any hesitation.

Although the store in Times Square now earns several times more money than the instrument factory every month, the instrument factory is where he started out and where he struggled for many years.

The most important thing is that he didn't leave on his own accord, he was driven away.

If it weren't for his good character and knowing Qiang Wa, and if it weren't for Qiang Wa's knowing Luo Yihang, he would have no chance of turning things around. Now he's afraid that he has lost everything.

The culprit is Fatty Qian.

As for how to deal with him, Liu Piaoliang didn't say it first, but first told her how he had done it before.

"When I left last month, I tore down all the decorations. Fatty Qian was so angry that he almost died. But it was useless to be angry. I spent all my money to hire a decoration team to start the decoration from scratch."

"I paid some money and asked the old neighbor over there to come out and do some damage, which delayed his construction period by half a month."

"But last week, Fatty Qian's store was finally installed."

"We held a big promotion right after the opening, and even stopped performing. It took away a lot of business."

"The neighbors over there were all anxious, and they came to me to discuss it. We used some tricks to drag Qian Pangzi's brother-in-law into the trap. We first found the supplier of goods to Qian Pangzi and threatened him to cooperate with us to set up a trap for Qian Pangzi's brother-in-law. In the end, we didn't fool him at all. His brother-in-law fell into the trap, accepted the kickbacks, and took the initiative to ask for frozen goods, and they were aged frozen goods."

"I later found out that Fatty Qian was such a stingy person that he had no brains. He only gave his brother-in-law 3000 yuan to be in charge of purchasing."

"Then we started spreading the news that Fatty Qian's meat was not fresh, and we pooled our money to find extras, professional ones, to go to his restaurant during the busiest time and eat his food and vomit."

"Anyway, they've tried every trick they can, but this Fatty Qian is mentally ill."

"He had a quarrel with his wife, fired his brother-in-law, and did the purchasing himself. He even bought frozen goods. He continued to lower the price, and the price was even lower than the cost of other companies."

"If this continues, my old neighbors won't be able to work anymore."

"So they came to me. They want mushrooms. I need to discuss this with you, Brother Luo."
