Chapter 153 Is Contraceptive Soup Useful?

Li Yujiao was sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt Jing Qishan coming back.

She subconsciously pushed him away, her dissatisfaction showing in her mouth: "Why are you back again? I want to sleep."

But he held her tightly, as if he had made a great decision: "My wife, I never thought of becoming successful in my life, I just wanted to stay by your side. But this time, I decided to do something big, I want to be your support, from now on, I will not allow anyone to bully you."

Jing Qishan went out after he finished speaking.

Li Yujiao also continued to sleep.

It was not until she woke up that she remembered that Jing Qishan seemed to have come back and seemed to have said that he wanted to do something big? And he wanted to protect her?

Because she slept so soundly, she could no longer distinguish between reality and dreams.

……

After waking up, Li Yujiao wanted to go to the kitchen to get some food.

But because we went too late, the decent dishes were no longer available.

Because she had been tortured by Jing Qishan and had exhausted all her physical strength, she now had a big appetite and suddenly wanted to eat bread and hot and sour noodles.

Having sold bread and hot and sour noodles in Rongcheng for so long, she was tired of the smell of both and for a long time she only sold them but didn’t eat them.

But after coming to Lincheng, she ate light meals every day, and she suddenly missed these two flavors again.

The next day, Li Yujiao did not go to the clinic, but made a small bread oven in the yard.

When Du Lijuan heard the noise and saw Li Yujiao working in the mud and laying bricks, she couldn't help but come over to watch.

"Yujiao, what are you doing?" Du Lijuan asked.

Li Yujiao smiled and said, "I miss the snacks from my hometown. I want to make some myself."

"Roast chicken or roast sweet potato?" Du Lijuan asked.

Li Yujiao smiled helplessly at her.

Du Lijuan came back to her senses: "Hey, look at my brain, roasted sweet potatoes are sold on the street outside, and roasted chicken is even more unrealistic. Where can we get chicken here? Even if we have it, we are not allowed to roast it alone."

Li Yujiao smiled and said, "I want to make toasted buns."

"Do you still need to bake the buns?"

"It tastes better when it's roasted. I'll let you try it when I make it."

Li Yujiao’s kiln was simple to make, so it took less than two days to complete.

After the kiln was ready, she went out and bought some ingredients for making bread.

On the day of baking the bread, the aroma wafted throughout the mansion, and Mrs. Song, who was several yards away, could smell the aroma of eggs mixed with flour.

Not to mention Chen Sanduo and Xuan and others.

Many people followed the scent and found that it came from Li Yujiao.

Soon, many women gathered in Li Yujiao's small courtyard.

"Madam Jing, what are you doing?"

"It smells so good, is there an egg in the steamed buns?"

“Is this filling enough?”

"..."

Li Yujiao was not a stingy person. She generously shared the bread with them: "This is a bun made of flour, so let's call it bread. I added some eggs, sugar, and lemon juice to it."

Everyone got some.

The ladies who ate it all praised it highly, saying that they had never eaten such fragrant baked buns.

Seeing that Aunt Gui was there, Li Yujiao asked her to take some back for Mrs. Song to try as well.

……

Mrs. Song looked at the golden-brown bread that Aunt Gui brought in. She took a small piece and tasted it.

Then he said, "It tastes good. Madam Jing is quite good."

But she was more suspicious: "She has been here for so long, she didn't make bread before, but she is doing it now, is she trying to win over people in the house?"

Aunt Gui was a little speechless, but she couldn't agree with Li Yujiao, so she said, "I heard that Madam Jing missed the delicious food from her hometown, so she made this bread. The other ladies went there just because they smelled the food. Besides, the ladies living in the house have seen the world, and they shouldn't be won over by a small piece of bread."

Mrs. Song thought it made sense, so she let down her guard.

……

In addition to Xuan and Chen Sanduo, many other ladies came to eat the bread made by Li Yujiao.

But Li Yujiao's kiln was small, and she could only bake a little at a time, which was not enough to eat, so she had to boil some tea to entertain them and let them drink tea while waiting.

Since they were favored by others, several ladies surrounded Li Yujiao and asked her all kinds of questions enthusiastically.

"Where is Madam Jing's hometown?"

"Does Madam Jing have any brothers or sisters?"

"Mrs. Jing has been married for so long, why haven't you given birth to a child? Could it be that you also drank contraceptive soup?"

"..."

Li Yujiao answered them one by one, saying that her home was in a small village below Rongcheng, and that she naturally had brothers and sisters, and that she was indeed drinking contraceptive soup now.

In fact, Jing Qishan withdrew both times when the shells were about to be launched, so she should not need to drink the contraceptive soup.

Another woman in her forties talked about her previous experience: "This contraceptive soup is not absolutely effective just by drinking it. I drank the contraceptive soup after having sex once, but I still got pregnant with my fourth child."

A lady next to him joked, "It turns out that a big butt can give birth. Contraceptive soup won't work on you!"

Everyone started laughing and telling jokes.

Later the topic turned to having children.

They talked about how painful childbirth was, and that a relative of theirs died from heavy bleeding after giving birth.

Li Yujiao was terrified when she heard this. Having a child in this era is life-threatening, so she must not give birth when the conditions are not ripe.

She remembered that the book mentioned that Jing Qishan would have to go through another disaster this winter.

……

in the military camp.

Jing Qishan was thinking with his hands behind his back.

Next, another big war is about to happen.

In his previous life, after this great battle, he was expelled from the military camp by Ding Qia'an on a trumped-up charge.

When he was forced to wander in the military camp, he accidentally met a group of outlaws and became one of them.

It was not until the imperial court later recruited him that he returned to the military camp.

But his mentality at that time was no longer to serve the court and achieve great achievements. He was completely for himself. He killed the enemies more ruthlessly and became more cunning. Later, he took advantage of the chaos to push Ding Qi into the enemy camp, and was hated by Song Haoyang for this.

After that, he started a fight with Song Haoyang, and all his brothers died.

In this life, he can no longer sit and wait for death!

……

"Report - Xiling Army is attacking, already 20 miles away!"

At the end of November, the Xiling Army assembled another 50,000 troops to attack the city.

There are many mountains in the southwest, which makes it easy to conceal the city. By the time they were discovered, the Xiling army had already arrived at the city gates.

After receiving the order, Song Haoyang immediately assembled his troops to fight.

Jing Qishan was assigned to guard the weakest southwest gate.

In the previous life, although the Daqi Army barely managed to defend Qiutai City, they suffered countless casualties.

When a person fails, he has to find a scapegoat, so he was the scapegoat because he led the weakest troops and suffered the most casualties.
