Chapter 76 Food

Mrs. Cui and Jiang Zhiluo discussed business matters and then started to cook dinner.

 In the evening, Cui Hejin also came back.

 After having dinner and washing up, Jiang Zhiluo returned to the house.

Cui Hejin walked over and handed Jiang Zhiluo a tael of silver in his hand.

Jiang Zhiluo was stunned, "This is?"

Cui Hejin Qingrun said: "For household use!"

Jiang Zhiluo's heart trembled, as if a stone suddenly fell into the lake of her heart, causing ripples.

Jiang Zhiluo suppressed her trembling heartstrings, blinked her eyes and said doubtfully: "It's only half a month, and it's not the time for the school to issue moon silver?"

 At this point, a light flashed in her mind and she said, "Are you copying books again?"

When she thought of this, Jiang Zhiluo couldn't help but feel an indescribable feeling in her heart.

 She grabbed Cui Hejin's wrist and checked, "Does your hand hurt?"

 “Why don’t you take care of your hands so much?”

"You are always so stubborn. You don't even say it hurts, but you still copy books."

Jiang Zhiluo was anxious.

Her brows were furrowed, her eyelashes were trembling slightly, and her eyes had a luster like autumn water.

At this moment, Cui Hejin didn't know why, but when he saw Jiang Zhiluo's unreserved and sincere eyes, his heart seemed to be clenched uncontrollably.

He couldn't help but stretched out his hand, gently touched her hair, and said warmly: "It doesn't hurt, I'm fine."

 “You lied, how could it not hurt?”

 He was always like this. Even if he loved him in that life, he never said it or let her know.

Cui Hejin looked down at Jiang Zhiluo and sighed inwardly. He had no experience in coaxing girls.

  I don’t even know how to appease her emotions at this time.

"It doesn't matter. I am your husband and I cannot let you bear the burden of the family."

 It is his responsibility to make money and support his family.

 After a pause, Cui Hejin added: "I don't want you to go out and be wronged."

Jiang Zhiluo thought for a moment and roughly understood what he meant.

She thought for a while and explained: "Well, I like to do business, so I feel that doing meaningful things every day will be very fulfilling."

“I have not been wronged. People are willing to eat what I cook and buy the food from our stall. I am very happy.”

 “Don’t be burdened.”

Cui Hejin said warmly: "Okay."

Jiang Zhiluo knew that it was useless to just feel distressed.

 The only thing that can be done is to quickly heal his body and his hands.

 “Will you feel better after taking the medicine?”

In the past few days, Jiang Zhiluo made medicine for Cui Hejin to drink every day, adding spiritual spring water to it.

 “Well, it’s much better, and I don’t cough much anymore.”

Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "Well, that's good."

 …

 On the other side, the Jiang family in Xingshan Village

After Jiang Xiangchuan came to his daughter's house yesterday, he changed out of his best clothes and prepared to put on patched linen clothes to make it easier to work.

Unexpectedly, five taels of silver fell out of his pocket.

"This is?"

When Jiang Xiangchuan told Mr. Ye, they both knew it was secretly stuffed by his daughter.

 The two of them were both moved and sad, feeling sorry for their daughter.

The two of them discussed that they could not move the money, so they helped their daughter to put it away first.

As for maltose, Yangliu Village happened to have a market the next day, so they discussed using glutinous rice to make maltose.

I happen to have some glutinous rice at home, and some malt grows in the vegetable patch in the yard. There are many children in the family, and the family work together.

 The first time they didn’t dare to make more, they made more than 70 pieces.

  It's not wrapped in oil paper or crushed peanuts, it's just ordinary maltose.

Unexpectedly, I went to the market in Yangliu Village in the morning and sold more than fifty yuan.

 Going home with more than 50 coins in his pocket, the family counted them several times and couldn't believe it.

 In the evening, Mr. Ye and Jiang Xiangchuan said with emotion: "I didn't expect to earn more than 50 yuan in one morning. This is really unbelievable."

Ye was so excited that she couldn't sleep.

Jiang Xiangchuan said: "When I went to the market this time, a family happened to be holding a banquet, so I bought some more candies. If I went to the market on weekdays, I might not be able to sell so much."

“That’s also exciting. Although some glutinous rice and malt are used, the copper coins earned in the hands are the most real.”

“If it’s a New Year holiday, we’ll sell more.”

“But there are many stalls selling sugar, and we can’t just rely on this to make money. If the weather gets hot, the maltose won’t be able to hold it and will melt.”

 If it cannot be sold, it will be wasted.

 “It’s just thanks to my daughter.”

Jiang Xiangchuan and Mr. Ye both miss their daughter.

Even though they are in the next village, if their daughter gets married, they can't just say they want to see her, they have to think more about her.

Jiang Xiangchuan said: "Then let's make some maltose to sell during the festival. We should do whatever we need to do on weekdays, so as not to affect the work in the fields."

Ye's expression suddenly became serious, "I know this, food is the most important."

Jiang Xiangchuan concentrated and said: "The world is not peaceful. The emperor is old and has killed many people due to suspicion. The princes will also fight when the time comes. If there is food in the fields, we will not be afraid that the price of food will rise."

Ye nodded and said: "I know, but we shouldn't be able to fight in the next year or two. Let's take advantage of this time to work harder, save some money to buy more land, and grow more food. We can also help out when the time comes. My daughter’s family.”

Jiang Xiangchuan nodded and discussed these matters with Ye.

 …

 It’s Lin Zhuzhu’s side.

  When she came home in the middle of the afternoon, her mother was collecting clothes to dry in the yard, and asked in surprise: "Why are you back so early today?"

  Usually Lin Zhuzhu wants to sell all the pork and other things, and it’s already dark.

 Sometimes they can’t be sold, so they have to put them in the cellar and sell them the next day.

 Usually you can’t go home until dark.

Lin Zhuzhu smiled with a smile on her face and said excitedly: "We closed the butcher stall early today and everything was sold."

Lin Zhuzhu’s mother was so shocked that the clothes in her hands almost fell to the ground.

 “What did you say, they were all sold today?”

 “Is business so good?”

 At this time, Lin Zhuzhu’s father’s coughing sound came from inside the house.

Lin Zhuzhu suppressed her excitement and said, "Mom, let's go inside and talk to dad."

 Her brother went to the academy. He was not at home yesterday after taking a break, so she told her parents first.

Lin Zhuzhu’s father looked at Lin Zhuzhu’s expression in the house and said, “But because of braised food, business has improved?”

Lin Zhuzhu said excitedly: "No, dad, you still know business."

“Ms. Jiang sent braised meat to me in the middle of the morning…”

"Some customers came to my place to buy meat. They smelled the aroma and asked what it was. I asked them to taste it first as Sister Jiang said, without telling them what it was. After they tasted it, they all said it was delicious, and then they learned it was I’m not that disgusted with being a pig in water. When I heard the price, many people bought it..."

“At noon, many people are asking to come to my place to buy braised food.”

“When I asked, I found out that they were the ones who bought braised food at Jiangmei’s stall in the morning. They thought it was delicious and wanted to buy it.”

"But Sister Jiang didn't serve braised food at noon, so she said I sell braised food here, so they came here. They were originally buying braised food, but they knew that the price of pork here was cheaper and there were a lot of bad things, so they bought some pork ribs and pork and the like. of…"

“In the afternoon, some people enjoyed the braised food and came back for the second time. Even my butcher stall’s business has improved. Many people also said that they didn’t know about my place before and they would come to me often to buy things in the future... "
