Female Supreme: Population is in crisis, I have a fruit-bearing tree

Taking advantage of the fact that there was still half a month left before the Chinese New Year, Su Qinghe said a few words to the men in her family, bought a horse, and hurried to Sanchuan, a big city south of Tianhe County.

She had arranged for people to check out the location a few days ago, and now they have received a message saying that the new restaurant and all necessary services are ready.

Sanchuan was still some distance away from Tianhe County. Su Qinghe rode for three days, hurrying all the way before he could see the city gate.

By the time we arrived at the new restaurant, it was completely dark and there were no people on the street.

Su Qinghe led the horse into the restaurant. Candles were still lit inside. The room was empty except for a man sitting at the counter, writing something with his head down.

"My boss."

Hearing the noise, Zhong Rou raised her head from the account book and saw Su Qinghe standing at the gate.

She quickly put down her pen and walked out from behind the counter to greet them.

"Master, you have worked hard on the journey. Can you enjoy your dinner?"

She walked quickly to Su Qinghe with excitement on her face, took the reins and led her inside.

"I received your letter this afternoon, but I don't know exactly when you will arrive, so I asked the kitchen to prepare the food."

While listening to her talk, Su Qinghe looked up at the facilities in the hall.

"I haven't eaten yet. You can take the horse to the backyard and feed it. Then you can bring the food to the lobby."

"Yes, please sit down first."

Zhong Rou first pulled out the stool for Su Qinghe, and then led the horse to the backyard.

Su Qinghe did not sit down in a hurry, but walked around every corner of the lobby.

After visiting every place, she moved to the kitchen and finally sat down with satisfaction.

The newly built restaurant is indeed as Zhong Rou said in the letter. Its area is more than twice that of the one in Tianhe County. Just now, she stood outside the door to look at its appearance, and it even has one more floor than the original one.

Although it looks like it is quite old, it is well preserved and does not look shabby at all. I just wonder if the private rooms upstairs will satisfy her as much as the lobby.

"...Boss?"

A middle-aged man came over with a bowl of soup. Seeing Su Qinghe sitting in the middle of the hall, he called out uncertainly.

Su Qinghe turned her head and nodded at him.

"Are you the new recruit of Shopkeeper Zhong?"

The man nodded when he saw her answer.

"Back to the boss, I just got here yesterday."

"This is the mutton soup that we cooked this morning. Drink it first to relieve your cold. The dishes will be served soon."

He placed the bowl in front of Su Qinghe and waited for her to respond before turning back to the kitchen.

Holding the spoon, Su Qinghe took small sips.

In fact, she didn't like eating mutton because she couldn't get used to the smell of mutton, but this soup tasted great. She didn't know what method was used, but the original mutton smell was suppressed so much that she couldn't taste it at all.

I had finished less than half of the soup and just as all the dishes were served, Zhong Rou came back.

While Su Qinghe was eating, she listened to her report on the restaurant's preparation progress. The middle-aged man who had just served the dishes also stood aside after he finished his work.

Su Qinghe asked a few questions about his identity. When she learned that he was specially hired by Zhong Rou to cook for her these days and was not someone hired from outside, she was speechless.

Zhong Rou is thoughtful in her work, but she is making a big deal out of nothing.

But she did find someone with excellent cooking skills, and all the dishes on the table were to her liking.

After dinner, Su Qinghe asked Zhong Rou to take her around the entire restaurant. After she pointed out some areas that needed improvement, she returned to the room that had already been cleaned to rest.

In the next few days, Su Qinghe was preparing for the opening of the new restaurant. With the first restaurant as a prototype, she was much more adept at preparation this time. Except for the fact that it took some effort to find a fixed supplier of materials, everything else went very smoothly.

After arranging everything and instructing Zhong Rou to open the business on the fourth day after the New Year, Su Qinghe returned to Tianhe County just two days before the New Year.

It was white outside the window. It had started snowing when she was on her way back. The snow was not heavy, but it had been snowing for several days in a row. Now the whole county was covered in white.

"My dear wife, why are you in such a hurry to move there tomorrow? You just got back, why not take a good rest tomorrow?"

Inside the room, Su Qinghe was lying on the couch, while Lin Xi was kneeling beside her, massaging her back.

It was already time for a break, but Su Qinghe still entered the city when the city gate was closed.

It gets dark early in winter, so Lin Xi and the others had already packed up and gone to bed. When they learned that Su Qinghe had returned, they all got up to greet her and started another busy process.

Feeling the appropriate pressure on his back, Su Qinghe squinted his eyes comfortably, and felt that most of the fatigue from traveling for several days was gone.

She smacked her lips, and the sound sounded very lazy.

"We have a lot of things to move. The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and we also have a lot of things to buy. We will be busy for a while when we get to the new house."

"Go there early and make arrangements early. Stay home and have a good rest the day after tomorrow. You will be energetic on the first day of the new year, right?"

She spoke softly, noticing that the force on her back was gradually weakening. Knowing that his hands must be sore, she waved her hands and turned back.

"My dear wife, let me massage you for a while longer!"

Seeing her turn around, Lin Xi advised with concern.

"No need, Xiaoxi's massage is very comfortable, I feel much better now."

She gently pulled him into her arms and laid him down, motioning him to rest.

Except for the first six days after they took the pregnancy pill, she had not had sex with them for nearly a month.

This is the rule that several generations of people in this world have come up with. The first six days are the critical period for the pregnancy fruit to take effect. In order to avoid hurting the unknown child, women generally will not have sex with their husbands after eating the pregnancy fruit.

Lin Xi knew that Su Qinghe was a man of her word, so she didn't insist. She nestled in her arms and felt her eyelids heavy. She closed her eyes and fell asleep soon after.

Su Qinghe fell asleep gradually as she could hear the sound of even and long breathing in her arms. However, she was woken up again in the middle of the night. The culprit was... the low snoring of the man in her arms.

"..."

Su Qinghe raised his hand to rub his dizzy head, then looked down at Lin Xi in his arms in surprise.

He never snored before, though the noise is very quiet now.

She moved her arms, found a comfortable position again and closed her eyes.

She can still fall asleep when she wants to. After all, when she was on missions in the past, she could fall asleep even in noisier environments than this.

It's just that she stayed in a quiet environment for too long and she was a little uncomfortable.

……

The next day, a horse-drawn carriage slowly drove away from the gate of Shili Xiang, followed by three ox-drawn carts.

In the car, Lin Xi and Su Qinghe sat on one side, and Ji Yuan and Ji Qingyu sat opposite her.

"Did my wife not sleep well last night?"

Looking at the few bruises under Su Qinghe's eyes, Ji Yuan asked with concern.

"?"

Hearing his words, Lin Xi tilted his head and looked at her in confusion.

"Is it because you slept late yesterday and got up early today?"
