She only found out about all this when Liu Tianming mentioned it to her at Aunt Liu's house.
I also learned from the dog system's smugness that the reason why the female protagonist in the original book was able to slowly rise up was entirely because she saved Ye Guicheng, the owner of Guangfu Restaurant, and even contributed the Lin family's ancestral cooking recipe as a share in Guangfu Restaurant.
With Lin Shuyan's ancestral recipe, Guangfulou's business soared, attracting a constant stream of customers. The Ye family behind Guangfulou also relentlessly pursued and destroyed the Shen family of Mingyulou.
Wherever Guangfulou existed, Mingyuelou was uprooted, simply because the owner of Mingyuelou refused Lin Shuyan's ancestral cooking recipe, and she held a grudge ever since.
Finally, Mingyue Tower was suppressed to the point of collapse, and the Shen family disappeared from the capital.
Jiang Hua's dog system overheard all of this, and its smug tone made it seem as if the female lead, Lin Shuyan, had already hooked up with Guangfu Restaurant.
"Young Master Jiang has brought game again today?"
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of Mingyue Tower, a waiter came out to greet them with a smile and a hint of respect.
Jiang Hua subtly noticed the hint of respect on the waiter's face. What was Jiang Xingzhou's identity?
She had specifically asked the system on her body beforehand, and the system was absolutely right; it really was a dog.
He said he would never tell her Jiang Xingzhou's identity, no matter what. What if she tried to seduce him after he revealed it?
Jiang Hua was speechless for a moment. If she didn't know, she didn't know. She would just let nature take its course.
Just remember this: anyone who can be associated with the female protagonist in a book is no ordinary person. Even if she's just a beggar, she might one day rise up and become an emperor.
The secretary of the former director of the Paranormal Bureau loved watching this and would often complain to her about it.
"How much silver do you think we can sell the wild goat we hunted this morning for?" Jiang Xingzhou nodded and said.
"Alright, Young Master Jiang, I'll have the kitchen staff come over right away. Please wait a moment." The waiter asked, "Young Master Jiang, would you like to come in and have some tea?"
"No need, we have something to do later."
Upon hearing this, the waiter nodded quickly and went inside to have the wild goats used for moving the cart carried in.
A short while later, the waiter who had just gone in came out, holding a purse in his hand containing the money from selling the wild goat. He stepped forward and presented it to Jiang Xingzhou with both hands.
"Young Master Jiang, this is the silver for the wild goat. This wild goat weighed 153 catties and cost 20 taels of silver. Please keep it safe," the waiter said.
Jiang Xingzhou nodded, took the silver from the waiter, pushed the cart, and left Mingyue Tower.
"What does Ayi want to eat?" Jiang Xingzhou asked, pushing the cart.
"Stepmother, what would you like to eat?" Jiang Jingyi raised his little head and asked Jiang Hua.
"Whatever you want to eat, we'll go eat that." Jiang Hua successfully threw the question back at him again.
"Father, shall we go to Grandma's for wonton noodles?" Jiang Jingyi asked.
"Okay, let's go and take the medicine your stepmother brought to the pharmacy to sell first." Jiang Xingzhou didn't forget the medicine in Jiang Hua's basket.
Following Jiang Xingzhou out of East Street, we sat at the intersection of East and West Streets. There was a pharmacy called Mingdetang, and you could smell the aroma of medicine wafting from inside the pharmacy even from the doorway.
“This is the largest pharmacy in Qing Shi Town. Your medicine will be sold here. A Yi and I will watch the cart outside,” Jiang Xingzhou said to Jiang Hua.
"good."
Jiang Hua picked up the basket and went inside. In front of the counter, the young apprentice was arranging the rows of medicine cabinets along the wall.
"Miss, are you here to see a doctor or to get medicine?" Hearing footsteps, the waiter immediately turned around and asked Jiang Hua.
"I'm here to sell medicine," Jiang Hua replied, then took out some Polygonum multiflorum wrapped in leaves from her basket and placed it on the table.
"What kind of herbs does the young lady want to sell?" the waiter asked in a calm tone, without the slightest hint of looking down on her.
Jiang Hua unfolded the leaves wrapping the he shou wu (Polygonum multiflorum), revealing three plump he shou wu on the table. The waiter was momentarily surprised, but quickly composed himself and said to her:
"Miss, please wait here. I'll go to the back room and ask the manager to come out. I can't just set a price for you arbitrarily."
Jiang Hua nodded and stood there waiting. Soon, the young apprentice led a middle-aged man out from the back room.
The shopkeeper glanced at the three he shou wu (Polygonum multiflorum) on the table, then looked at Jiang Hua: "Miss, what price would you like to sell these three he shou wu for?"
"Shopkeeper, just name your price." Jiang Hua didn't know how much silver these three He Shou Wu herbs could fetch.
"Since you trust me, Miss, I will not let you down." After examining the three He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum) roots, Manager Shen quoted a price of five taels of silver per root.
"Miss, the three will cost fifteen taels of silver."
“Okay.” Jiang Hua nodded.
Seeing that Jiang Hua agreed so readily, Manager Shen also readily took out fifteen taels of silver from the counter and handed it to Jiang Hua, saying, "Miss, next time you have herbs, you can bring them directly to Mingdetang, and we will accept them."
"Okay, thank you very much, Manager Shen," Jiang Hua replied as she accepted the silver.
"What is your name, young lady?" Seeing Jiang Hua turn to leave, Manager Shen quickly asked.
“My surname is Jiang,” Jiang Hua replied.
"Miss Jiang, please take care."
"Did you sell it?"
As soon as Jiang Hua came out, Jiang Xingzhou stepped forward and asked.
“Yes, I sold it.” Jiang Hua replied, and then took out ten taels of silver from the fifteen taels of silver she had just received from selling the he shou wu and handed it to him.
"I'll return ten taels of silver to you first."
"No need, you can keep your money for yourself." Jiang Xingzhou glanced at the money in her hand and turned to push the cart.
Jiang Xingzhou refused to accept it, so Jiang Hua had no choice but to take it back.
Jiang Jingyi said the place to eat wonton noodles was the market on the west side. There are many mobile stalls there, selling vegetables, pork, chicken, duck and goose, and all kinds of snacks.
When they passed the stall of an old woman who was over fifty years old and whose hair was all white, Jiang Jingyi stopped, and Jiang Xingzhou also parked his cart in a deserted corner.
“Stepmother, my father and I always come to eat this grandma’s wonton noodles whenever we come to town.” Jiang Jingyi led Jiang Hua to an empty seat.
Jiang Xingzhou also went upstairs and ordered three bowls of wonton noodles, which were then brought over.
The wonton noodles were served quickly, with plump little wontons resting quietly on the noodles, and a handful of chopped green onions sprinkled on top of the clear soup.
Jiang Jingyi couldn't wait to start slurping.
Jiang Hua took a bite, and it was indeed as delicious as the little guy had said. The soup base was a rich broth made from pork bones.
