63 Don’t move!
“People with weak spleen and stomach, who often have diarrhea, must refrain from eating,” Ji Zhao said slowly, her expression solemn. “Snails are cold, so don’t eat them when you catch a cold. During a woman’s menstrual cycle, or after giving birth, avoid eating.”
“One more thing. Before cooking the snail, you must wash it clean. And make sure to cook it thoroughly when cooking,” Ji Zhao said sincerely.
“Alright, I’ve memorized everything.” Second Manager You nodded vigorously, indicating that he had memorized everything.
“Thank you, Third Madam.”
“Second Manager, can you call me Ah Tao from now on? It sounds a little awkward to call me Third Madam.” Ji Zhao shrugged helplessly and suggested with a smile.
“Alright, I’ll do as you say. Ah Tao?”
The two of them looked at each other and laughed together.
This time, not only did Ji Zhao sell these spicy snails for eight taels of silver, but she also provided Second Manager You with a supply contract.
“Ah Tao, do you mean that our entire family has to go out and pick up snails?” During dinner, Zhao Lanhua could not believe her ears. “Can these snails really be sold for a high price?”
“Mother, take a look at this contract.” Ji Zhao took out the contract in her sleeve with a smile. “It’s written clearly on it. In the future, as long as it’s the snails we send to Hongxing Restaurant, Second Manager You will accept it for ten copper coins per catty!”
“Our Shanghe Village has a lot of snails!” Zhao Lanhua’s eyes lit up. “Does that mean that the more snails we pick up, the more money we can get?”
“Yes!” Ji Zhao nodded vigorously.
“Mother, don’t be happy too early.” After Shen Yao finished reading the contents of the contract, he slowly said, “The river snails in the river don’t belong to our family alone. If news of us picking up the snails with great fanfare spreads, it will definitely cause some rumors.”
“That’s true.” Hearing this, the smile on Zhao Lanhua’s face faded a little. “Shanghe Village has been drinking water from that river for generations. Of course, the snails in the river belong to everyone.”
“Father, I’ll accompany you to see the village chief tomorrow morning.” Shen Yao thought for a moment and said in a low voice, “We still need the village chief’s help on this matter.”
If the village chief was willing to step in, this matter would be much easier.
After dinner, Ji Zhao went to the ear room.
After taking a comfortable shower, she felt refreshed.
Just as she was about to walk out of the room with her changed clothes, she bumped into a firm chest.
Ouch-
Ji Zhao, whose nose was hurting from the collision, could not help but gasp.
“Are you alright?” Shen Yao hurriedly looked down at her face.
“I’m… I’m fine.” Ji Zhao quickly raised her head and smiled sheepishly.
However, two streams of heat suddenly surged out from his nose.
“Your nose is bleeding?” Shen Yao said anxiously. “Don’t move!”
Ji Zhao, who was frightened by this voice, suddenly turned wooden.
Without another word, Shen Yao carried her by the waist and returned to the house.
Because his legs were inconvenient, Shen Yao was already sweating profusely when he carried her back to the room.
When she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the anxious expression on his face, Ji Zhao seemed to have a flash of emotion in her heart.
Like a light feather, it landed silently on her heart.
“Try to lean back as much as possible first. I’ll go get some water.” Shen Yao leaned the pillow behind her and left in a hurry.
