After talking to Gu Fengyan for a while, Father Huo couldn't stay idle, so he leaned on a cane and went to the small garden to pick up the few vegetable fields.

When Huo Duan sent Huo Xiuling back, Gu Fengyan had already eaten and took a plate of dried apricots to eat.

His pregnancy reaction has not yet reached the worst stage, that is, his mouth can't stop wanting to eat something.

He was lazily leaning on the back of the chair with a plate in his arms, his cheeks were bulging, like a little mouse stuck in a pile of grain.

Huo Duan saw such a scene as soon as he entered the door.

"Where's Dad?" He was happy to see Gu Fengyan eating, so he walked over to fetch a plate and poured some dried apricots into it.

I was also curious about what it tasted like, so I took a bite out of it.

"Why are you still grabbing food from your cub? Huo Boss is just doing this to your father?" Gu Fengyan nestled in the chair as if he had no bones, and asked him sideways.

He picked up a large piece of dried apricot, and ate it slowly, "Daddy went to the garden and said he wanted to catch a chicken and make me soup, but I couldn't resist."

The dried apricots were dried by Huo Xiuling's family. They were clean and tasted sour and slightly sweet. Huo Duan didn't like the taste very much. After tasting a piece, he didn't grab it from him. He pushed the whole plate over.

"Does he want to eat it, or does Ah Yan want to eat it?" He sat down, put the cloak on Gu Fengyan's lap, and stared at his belly with a smile, "Is this dried apricot really so delicious?"

"I have to ask you about this." Gu Fengyan leaned back in the chair, stretched his arms, "My taste is getting more and more tricky."

Gu Fengyan has never been a picky eater, but since he was diagnosed with a cub in his belly, he has no appetite for anything, only hot and sour food can barely eat.

Huo Duan poured him a cup of hot water, and he saw it... A few days ago, Gu Fengyan was able to eat more, but recently his appetite seemed to be getting smaller, and he didn't finish half a bowl of porridge in the morning.

"I'll ask Mr. Lin again at noon." He looked at Gu Fengyan with pain in his eyes, and carefully caressed Gu Fengyan's lower abdomen with his palm, "Could this kid be a troublesome person, and now I can't help him through layers of belly , come out and spank his ass!"

Gu Fengyan looked at him as if he was looking at a fool... The little thing had already been inexplicably recorded by his father before he was born, and if he knew it, he would be wronged to death.

"Isn't that the same reaction during pregnancy, so there's no need to ask." He couldn't laugh or cry, and said with lowered eyes, "It's time to choose a name..." His eyes were infinitely gentle, "I can't just call it something like this little baby."

Huo Duan smiled, "I don't know his gender, so let's choose a nickname first... What does Ah Yan want to call him?"

Gu Fengyan thought for a while, then shook his head, "I've thought about it a lot, but I don't think it's good... Let's talk about it in the evening, you help Dad catch the chicken first, and watch his legs and feet carefully, I want to rest for a while."

I don't know what kind of sacred thing is in my stomach, but after waking up in the morning, Gu Fengyan started to feel sleepy again.

As soon as you have a body, you really become a person made of jade porcelain, not as solid as before.

"Alright, I'll take you back to your room." Huo Duan also thought of a few names but didn't feel good, so he carefully wrapped the cloak around Gu Fengyan, and followed him back to the room.

He took off his shoes again, covered him with the quilt, sat on one side and coaxed him for a while, and when he fell asleep, he poured a bowl of warm water and put it on the small table beside the bed so that he could drink when he was thirsty... He gently closed the door and left out.

After Huo's father finished pulling the weeds in the vegetable field, he wanted to pick a fat one from a group of chickens and ducks to make stewed soup for Gu Fengyan to drink at noon.

But his legs and feet are not as good as chickens and ducks, and he ran around a few times without even touching the chicken feathers.

Huo Duan came to catch the fattest cock.

At noon, Father Huo cleaned up the chicken, and Huo Duan went to Xinglin Yard to ask Feng Yan what to do if he had a bad appetite, and brought some warming and tonic herbs back to stew chicken soup.

Mr. Lin also said that it was a normal reaction during pregnancy. Seeing that he was in a hurry, he asked him to buy some sweet and sour preserved fruit, and make soup every three days, as much as he could drink.

Huo Duan went to buy candied fruit snacks in the alley where Dongfulou was located. I don't know why the news spread so fast. When passing by Dongfulou, shopkeeper Li and master Zhao were standing at the door waiting for him.

"Boss Huo." Shopkeeper Li smiled, and nodded to Huo Duan, "Boss Huo, please come in and sit down for a while, and settle the bill for this month, and we have something to discuss with you."

Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan are so busy these days that they don't care much about delivering medicinal materials, and entrusted the full authority to Ye Shan.

But Qian Yeshan didn't care, the shopkeeper Li only recognized them... When it was time to pay the bill, after waiting for half a month for no one to come, I heard the news that Boss Huo's husband was pregnant and couldn't leave .

The two of them paid attention every day and finally got stuck.

Huo Duan was thinking about going to the fish market by the river to buy a fish and make sweet and sour fish for Gu Fengyan to eat, but shopkeeper Li said that there was something to do... Besides, the money has to be settled, although the family is not short of money , but he wanted to make two more winter coats and cloaks for Gu Fengyan.

The best things are needed to raise a baby, and money is also needed for children's clothes and room preparation.

"Alright." He smiled, and followed Manager Li into the building.

But he was surprised to find that in less than half a month, Dongfulu had already changed its appearance.

There are still a lot of guests, the front hall is much wider, and there are a few more private rooms on the upper floor, and the decoration is more elegant.

He vaguely guessed what shopkeeper Li was going to discuss.

Go straight up to the largest private room on the second floor, and you can see the people and scenery on the other side of the river from a distance through the window. A few large buds of catalpa tree come in through the window, half-opened and half-hidden.

After closing the door of the private room, shopkeeper Li personally poured tea for Huo Duan, and said straight to the point:

"Lao Zhao and I approached Boss Huo this time to ask Boss Huo if he intends to cooperate with us to expand business."

As expected, Huo Duan was not surprised, and cast down the froth in the cup, "It's okay to say it's from shopkeeper Li."

Shopkeeper Li saw that he did not directly refuse, so he knew that there was something going on, and hurriedly said: "It's like this, Lao Zhao and I have opened Dongfulou for some years, and we have no children. In this life, we only have a little bit of property in Dongfulou. With the help of Boss Huo's medicinal diet, we can have such a day..."

"Seeing that Dongfulou's reputation is also growing and the source of customers is stable, we will make a collective effort to spread the reputation of Dongfulou and open one in Lin County... As for how big it will be in the future, it will depend on luck."

As he said, he glanced at Huo Duan and said with a sigh of relief, "This time we mean to cooperate with Boss Huo. You provide medicinal materials and prescriptions, and we are in charge of the affairs of the building. The profits are shared equally... I don't know Huo Duan Does the boss have this intention?"

This condition can be said to be very sincere... Shopkeeper Li has been in business for half his life, and he is like a human being. Naturally, he knows that the reason why Dongfulou has today's reputation is entirely because of the medicinal recipes given by Huo Duan and the others.

Without the name of this herbal diet, Dongfulou would be no different from any ordinary restaurant... They earned half of the profit.

Huo Duan smiled, "Shopkeeper Li can think about us, so there is no reason to refuse, you just do it, and let me know if you need help."

Gu Fengyan is pregnant, so he doesn't have so much time to take care of the business. They can easily get [-]% of the profit when they produce medicinal materials and medicinal recipes... Even if Dongfulou opens [-] branches in the future, their profit is still the same.

Small investment, big return, this deal couldn't be more cost-effective.

Coupled with the improvement of the supply chain of medicinal materials in the future, Ayan and the children can eat and wear without worrying about it.

Both sides of a business are satisfied, choosing a date is worse than hitting the date, Huo Duan immediately drew up a document according to the old rules, both parties signed and signed, and the matter was settled.

Shopkeeper Li then summoned his staff to settle the accounts that they hadn't collected in the past few months... Dongfulou's business has been very good recently, and after a few months, it is enough to distribute it to Huo Duan and the others. There are as many as a hundred.

They were carefully exchanged into silver notes.

Huo Duan was thinking about cooking for Gu Fengyan, so he casually took a banknote and picked up a large bag of candied fruits, snacks and fresh fruits and left.

"Shopkeeper Huo, wait a minute." Shopkeeper Li hurriedly stopped him and motioned for a waiter to bring up a vermilion lacquer tray. Inside was a silver long-life lock, and some children's things, all very delicate.

"I heard that Boss Gu is pregnant. Old Zhao and I prepared this as a blessing for the child. I hope Boss Huo will not dislike it."

It can be seen from those things that they really put their heart into it. Huo Duan was very moved, so he thanked them respectfully and accepted those things, and said that he would personally invite them to drink when the child was born next year.

He was still in a hurry to go home to take care of Gu Fengyan, and after thanking him, he took his things and left in a hurry. The things he bought left behind in a bag, and the buddy Xiao ran out to bring them to him.

Shopkeeper Li and Master Zhao laughed straight behind.

It was only noon when Huo Duan got home, so he put down his things and went to see Gu Fengyan, but he was still awake.

After sleeping for so long, Huo Duan was a little worried about him, but after asking Mr. Lin, he said it was a normal reaction, so he tucked the quilt over Gu Fengyan, closed the door again and went out.

Ever since Gu Fengyan was pregnant and smelled the smell of oily smoke and made him sick, Huo Duan never asked him to enter the kitchen, and took over the cooking by himself.

Fortunately, he is a quick learner, and with Papa Huo watching over him, the food is still delicious.

The chicken was cleaned up, a fish and warm herbs that are good for the body were stewed, and some light vegetarian dishes were made.

I also washed a plate of fresh fruits I bought.

Huo Duan put the meal on the table, served a bowl to cool down, and then changed his clothes in the outside room... Huo Duan dared not enter the bedroom until there was no smell of oily smoke on his body.

Gu Fengyan also woke up, leaning against the bed with his clothes on, reading an unknown book.

"Are you awake? Are you hungry?" Huo Duan went over, twisted the veil in the basin and sat on the edge of the bed.

He handed the handkerchief to Gu Fengyan, "Wipe your face and let's go eat... Today I bought some candied fruits and seasonal fresh fruits. After dinner, Ayan can taste if it suits your appetite."

Gu Fengyan put down the book, wiped his face indiscriminately, and stretched his hands for Huo Duan with the handkerchief, "You went out? Why did you go?"

"Go and ask Mr. Lin, Dongfulou has collected the accounts," Huo Duan wiped his hands, "By the way, shopkeeper Li said that he wants to open a branch, expand business, and cooperate with us. I agree... ..."

After wiping his hands, Gu Fengyan got off the bed slowly, and the two of them walked out, Gu Fengyan nodded, "Boss Huo's decision is..."

Gu Fengyan didn't eat much for this meal, he drank a bowl of soup, ate two pieces of meat, and picked up a few chopsticks of vegetarian dishes that Huo Duan could count. There was still half a bowl of rice left on the bottom of the bowl, so he frowned and refused to eat Yes, take a fruit and nibble slowly.

Huo Duan was really worried... Worried and distressed, he had finally raised some meat, and if he continued to eat like this, he was destined to lose weight again.

Then I lost my appetite.

Father Huo was also worried, looking at the table full of food, but Gu Fengyan didn't eat a few bites, he was worried, "I remember that when your mother was pregnant with Huo Duan, she didn't have such a loss of appetite. Don’t ask Mr. Lin to have a look.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Fengyan hurriedly said: "Father, I'm fine, you don't have to worry, I'll eat after a while."

In order not to worry the old man, he asked Huo Duan to serve him a bowl of soup and drank another bowl.

Seeing that he was willing to drink, Father Huo finally relaxed his brows, and told him what he wanted to eat called Huo Duan, don't be afraid of trouble, his body is the most important thing, and the rest are children.

He asked him what he would like to eat at night, Gu Fengyan remembered that he had grown cucumbers in his vegetable garden to please the old man, so he said that he would eat rice porridge and pickled cucumbers at night.

Father Huo became happier, and said that he was going to pick some back. Gu Fengyan was afraid that his legs and feet would be inconvenient, and the ground would be slippery after it rained, so he said that he wanted to move too, told him to rest, and took the basket with Huo. Duan went to the vegetable garden to pick cucumbers.
