Chapter 41 Changes

Lin Zhuzhu was still a little unsatisfied when she thought about the taste of the leek box.

“That day when a lady came to buy pig’s trotters, she smelled the fragrant smell and asked me what I had made that tasted so delicious. I said it was a leek box, but she had never heard of it.”

Lin Zhuzhu was talking about what happened two days ago after Jiang Zhiluo brought her a box of leeks.

“Sister Jiang, I think you can do some food business at the dock. As long as the food is delicious, you can make a lot of money every day.”

Lin Zhuzhu came into contact with Jiang Zhiluo and felt that she liked Jiang Zhiluo very much and treated her as a sister.

He couldn't help but persuade her to start a small business.

Looking at the way she was dressed in coarse linen clothes, we also knew that her family was from an ordinary family and she was reluctant to buy more meat every time. However, Lin Zhuzhu would drop something for her every time.

 The most important thing is that Lin Zhuzhu thought that if Sister Jiang set up a food stall, she would be able to buy food.

She still wants to eat that box of leeks.

Since her father was ill, she had no appetite. Sister Jiang gave her four boxes of leeks that day. When she took them home, her parents praised them and said they were delicious.

Jiang Zhiluo thought about it and said, "I have thought about starting a food business and setting up a stall at the pier, but my family doesn't live here."

“You also know that I live in Donghe Village. It’s inconvenient to carry things back and forth. It’s easier than selling brown sugar. You only need to bring the things here.”

Jiang Zhiluo sold brown sugar at the dock for a few days, and also observed the business of the food stalls. The kind of business that does well is really good.

Even those who sell steamed buns, vegetarian steamed buns cost three cents, meat stuffed buns cost five cents, and they can make several hundred taels of silver from hundreds of buns in one morning.

 She thinks it saves time and money compared to brown sugar.

 She made brown sugar and boiled it for an afternoon, which probably only cost a few hundred pennies a day.

 It takes too much time to boil brown sugar in a big pot.

"What's the matter? The dock is just across from me. You can just leave your things at my house when the time comes. Just come over and pick them up in the morning."

 “I also live here on weekdays.”

 In order to facilitate the butchery business, Lin Zhuzhu lives in the small courtyard at the back on weekdays.

Jiang Zhiluo did not reject Lin Zhuzhu's kindness and said with a smile: "I'll think about it carefully later."

After Jiang Zhiluo left the meat stall, she saw that the time was almost up, so she went to the school to ask for leave for Cui Hejin.

When Mr. Li learned that Cui Hejin was ill, he said very reasonably: "My lady, please feel free to let Mr. Cui have a good rest at home. It won't be too late to come back after he has rested."

Mr. Li looked at Cui Hejin's wife and sighed in his heart, this person really didn't look like a girl from the countryside.

Both his appearance, temperament and conversation are extraordinary.

 Since when has the countryside become so crouching tiger, hidden dragon?

 …

When Jiang Zhiluo went home with her backpack on her back, she was thinking about doing some business.

 Making brown sugar, I worked so hard for seven or eight days and only earned four taels of silver.

 Still a bit slow.

If Zhuang Xing'an hadn't trusted her medical skills and asked her to see a doctor, she wouldn't have taken some medicinal materials on the grounds of seeing a doctor.

These medicinal materials cost several taels of silver if purchased individually.

  And it does not contain those extremely precious medicinal materials.

If she wants to completely recuperate the bodies of Mrs. Cui and Cui Hejin, she will need a lot of money.

 She also wants to buy land to grow grain, vegetables and other things.

It was already half morning when Jiang Zhiluo returned home.

Mrs. Cui is not at home at this time, and Cui Hejin is reading in the house.

At this time, the sun was just right, Cui Hejin heard the door opening, turned around to look at Jiang Zhiluo, and felt as warm and jade-like as if she were out of the world.

Especially when the sunlight shines on him through the window lattice, it gives him a poetic and painting feeling of flowing light.

 His brows and eyes were filled with a dazzling light due to the sunlight. He looked back at her obviously just because of the voice. He had the coldest expression on her face, but he could still feel focused and bewitched.

Just for a moment, Jiang Zhiluo quickly averted her eyes to prevent herself from being seduced and imprisoned by his eyes.

"are you feeling better?"

 Cui Hejin calmed down his expression slightly, tightened the joints of his hand holding the book, and whispered: "Well, it's much better. Thank you very much for last night."

Jiang Zhiluo was surprised. Is he saying thank you to her?

I don’t know if it was her imagination, but I felt that when Cui Hejin talked to her, his voice was gentler than before, and it no longer felt as quiet as frost and snow.

However, Jiang Zhiluo will not be sentimental.

 “You’re welcome.”

  She should be nice to him and save him. This is what she once owed him.

 It's just that he doesn't have those memories, so he just doesn't know.

 “Mother, where has she gone?”

 Jiang Zhiluo was a little worried when she didn't see Mrs. Cui when she entered the house.

 “Mom went to the river to wash clothes.”

The sun is just right today. I have been busy making brown sugar these past few days and have no time to do anything at home. It just so happened that they were not going to town this morning. Cui Hejin looked fine, so the old lady took her clothes and went to the river.

Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said: "I treated people today and earned ten taels of silver, as well as some medicinal materials."

“This is your mother’s medicine, this is your medicine, it can take care of your body.”

 “Is there anything you want to buy?”

Jiang Zhiluo sat on a chair, took out ten taels of silver and looked at it.

 Cui Hejin listened to Jiang Zhiluo's words and looked at the silver in her hand, with a slightly surprised look in her eyes.

“You can just keep the money, I don’t have anything I want to buy for the time being.”

Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "Well, I also went to the school to ask for leave for you. You can rest at home these days, and then go to the school when you feel better."

After a pause, Jiang Zhiluo added: "The family will be better and the money will be more. You don't have to work so hard. Your health is still important."

I thought Cui Hejin wouldn't say anything or would insist on something, but he just responded calmly: "Okay."

 It gave her the illusion that Cui Hejin would listen to her arrangements.

After Jiang Zhiluo said a few words to Cui Hejin, she put down her things and went to the yard to look at the malts she had planted before.

 When she saw that the malt had grown well, Jiang Zhiluo had a smile on her face, "It's time to make maltose."

Jiang Zhiluo thought that after making maltose, she would also send some to her parents and younger brothers and sisters. They would be very happy.

Jiangzhiluo pulled out all the malts and washed them in a basin.

When she was scooping water, she found that there was not much water in the tank, so Jiang Zhiluo took a pole in the yard and carried a wooden bucket to the village entrance to fetch water from the well.

The sun was just right at this time, and the children in the village were running and playing. Many grandfathers and old ladies were holding horses and looking for a place to bask in the sun at the door.

There were also people driving ducks and geese into the river, and there were also dogs barking.

Various sounds interweave into country tunes, which also gives people a sense of leisurely countryside.

When Jiang Zhiluo went to fetch water, she happened to meet Li Zheng's eldest son Zhou Zhaoxi who was also fetching water.

The young man's eyebrows are as handsome as the sun, his bronze skin has a healthy color, and his arms are full of muscle strength when lifting water.

When he saw Jiang Zhiluo, he smiled heartily and said, "Sister Jiang, do you want to fetch water? I can help you carry it back."

It’s a new month, little cuties, please vote for me. I’ll work hard and code more.
