Cook for two or three minutes and it's ready to serve. This method produces a very delicious and sweet chicken giblet and loofah soup.
After serving the cooked chicken giblets and loofah soup, Jiang Hua stir-fried some cabbage.
Aunt Liu and Uncle Liu also set out the bowls and chopsticks.
"I'm really in for a treat today. The smell in the yard is making me hungry," Liu Tianming said, looking at the stir-fried chicken gizzards with pickled green beans in front of him.
"Jiang Hua, you're amazing! You can even make chicken offal like this."
"Yes, Huahua, how did you make this soup? It doesn't taste fishy at all, and it's very sweet." Aunt Liu asked after taking a sip of the soup.
"Delicious." Uncle Liu didn't say much, just "delicious," and he proved his words with his actions.
"Stepmother, your cooking is so delicious, I can eat two bowls of rice!" Jiang Jingyi also praised.
"If it's delicious, then eat more," Jiang Hua replied.
After the meal, Aunt Liu helped to collect the dishes and chopsticks and put them in the kitchen to wash them.
"Huahua, from now on, Xiaojiang won't be home. If there's anything you can't do, just come and call your Uncle Liu and Tianming," Aunt Liu said while washing the dishes.
"Thank you, Auntie, I understand," Jiang Hua nodded in response.
After Aunt Liu finished washing the dishes, she chatted with Jiang Hua for a few more minutes before the family left.
After Jiang Xingzhou arrived, the task of bathing Jiang Jingyi fell to Jiang Hua. Jiang Hua carried the hot water to the bathroom and then called Jiang Jingyi over.
"Stepmother, please leave. I can do it myself," Jiang Jingyi said shyly, clutching his chest.
"Are you sure you can manage on your own?" Jiang Hua asked.
“Stepmother, it’s fine. Father has already taught me, and the books also say that there is a difference between men and women,” Jiang Jingyi said, quickly closing the door.
Jiang Hua didn't insist and went into the kitchen to make salt-baked chicken feet.
Half an hour later, Jiang Jingyi also came out of the bathroom and went to the kitchen to help Jiang Hua watch the fire on the stove.
"Are you sleepy? Why don't you go inside and sleep?" Jiang Hua asked.
“I’m not sleepy, stepmother. I’ll watch the fire for you.” Jiang Jingyi shook his head and said, “Father has gone on a long trip, so I want to help stepmother like he does.”
"Good girl," Jiang Hua said, without stopping her work.
An hour had passed since they finished preparing all 100 jin of salt-baked chicken feet. Jiang Hua then told Jiang Jingyi to go back to the inner room to sleep while she went to take a bath.
Half an hour later, after leaving the space and entering the inner room, Jiang Jingyi was still reading a book on the bed by candlelight.
"Alright, it's late, go to sleep," Jiang Hua said as she blew out the candle on the table.
The next day, after breakfast, Uncle Fu's oxcart arrived at the door, and Jiang Hua loaded the two large vats of salt-baked chicken feet that had been prepared in the kitchen onto the cart.
"Jiang Hua, wait for me to come and help you carry it up, it's so heavy," Liu Tianming said as he ran over.
Aunt Liu was following behind him.
“Huahua, your brother Tianming doesn’t have much to do at home, so he came over to help you today,” Aunt Liu explained.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Tianming," Jiang Hua said.
The group arrived at the market in Qingshi Town by oxcart. Not long after the market opened, Jiang Hua told Aunt Liu and Liu Tianming about the prices and then left.
After leaving the market, Jiang Hua went to a blacksmith's shop.
"Young lady, would you like to buy a kitchen knife?" the blacksmith asked.
"I have a blueprint here, can you help me make it?" Jiang Hua took the opportunity to take out the blueprint she had drawn in her space that morning.
It was a sizzling iron plate for making snacks, and a special knife for cutting serrated potatoes. After the sizzling iron plate was made, Uncle Liu would make a cart out of wood.
Once the iron plate is embedded, and a stove is placed underneath, you can start selling wolf tooth potatoes.
"Can."
The blacksmith took the blueprints and glanced at them. Although he couldn't tell what the finished product was for, he didn't care what it was for as long as he could make money.
"When will it be ready?" Jiang Hua asked.
"You can come and pick it up in two days. It will cost five taels of silver in total, with a two-tael deposit as a down payment," the blacksmith shopkeeper replied.
“Okay, I’ll come back to pick it up in two days,” Jiang Hua said to the shopkeeper.
After leaving the blacksmith shop, Jiang Hua returned to the market, and customers gradually started coming to her stall.
"Huahua is back," Aunt Liu said, making room for her in the middle.
This time, Jiang Hua and her team sold a full 100 jin (50 kg) of salt-baked chicken feet, and it took them until noon to sell them all.
The last two jin were bought by Sun Nian from Mingyuelou.
"Miss Jiang, our employer is asking if you're free to come over for lunch around noon."
Sun Nian, carrying the salt-baked chicken feet he had just paid for, asked Jiang Hua.
"Is something the matter?" Jiang Hua asked, frowning.
"Well, I don't know either. The employer didn't tell me," Sun Nian explained.
“Okay, we’ll head over there after we pack up our stall,” Jiang Hua nodded.
"Alright, Miss Jiang, I'll go back and tell my boss first."
After Sun Nian left, Liu Tianming asked, "Jiang Hua, do you know the owner of Mingyue Tower?"
“Yes, we have business dealings,” Jiang Hua said simply.
These few words alone were enough to astonish Liu Tianming. When did Jiang Hua become so amazing?
After packing up his stall, Liu Tianming took the initiative to push the cart towards Mingyue Tower.
"Miss Jiang, you've arrived." Sun Nian saw Jiang Hua and the others from afar and quickly went to greet them as they were about to arrive.
"Yes, this is from our village, and he sets up a stall with me."
“Miss Jiang, everything is arranged here. We’ve prepared a table of food in the backyard. It’s noon now, and there are quite a few guests, so there aren’t many seats left,” Sun Nian said as he stepped forward.
"Aunt Liu, Brother Tianming, would you like to have your meal in the backyard first?" Jiang Hua asked, turning her head.
“Yes, yes,” Aunt Liu replied repeatedly.
“Jiang Hua, you can go ahead. My mother and I will wait for you in the backyard,” Liu Tianming said.
“Okay.” Jiang Hua nodded and led Jiang Jingyi to the private room on the second floor with Manager Bai.
"Master Shen, you've kept us waiting." Jiang Hua said as she led Jiang Jingyi in.
"Miss Jiang, please sit down. Ayi is here too." Shen Qingchuan walked over from the soft couch and sat down at the dining table.
"Hello, Brother Qingchuan." Jiang Jingyi greeted Shen Qingchuan politely upon seeing him.
"Sit down, I'm hungry too."
Jiang Hua wasn't surprised that Shen Qingchuan and Jiang Jingyi knew each other, and instead asked Jiang Jingyi to sit down.
"Brother Qingchuan, do you know where my father went?" Jiang Jingyi asked Shen Qingchuan after obediently sitting down.
"Cough cough."
Shen Qingchuan looked at Jiang Hua with a hint of mockery. He had just told her that he didn't know Jiang Xingzhou, but Jiang Jingyi's words had exposed everything.
"I don't know where your father is either."
