Chapter 358 I'll Support You
Ye Beixiu's life was not easy either.
He hardly slept all night.
He read the letter left by Zhang Juexia over and over again at night, and finally made it to dawn. He immediately decided to ask Master Song for leave to return to the village.
Master Song looked at Ye Beixiu's two dark circles under his eyes and his listless look, scolded him for being useless, and waved his hand, "Go home and find a wife! Remember, don't forget to practice martial arts.
If you come back and I see you haven't improved, I won't let you go."
Ye Beixiu grinned and bowed solemnly to Master Song, "Thank you, Master!"
He didn't hear a word of what was said afterwards, he just wanted to see his wife as soon as possible.
Ye Beixiu returned home, gave some instructions to Yang Zhi, and without asking anyone to see him off, he hired a carriage from the county town and rushed back to the village.
Zhang Juexia woke up early and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
She hadn't cooked for a long time, so she was a little rusty at it.
There was movement in the kitchen, and Li Yun also got up.
Yesterday, Wang Guilan and the others helped cook because she was not familiar with the place. Today, she didn't want to trouble them again.
After all, Wang Guilan is not young anymore, and Li Yun feels bad about seeing her always being so busy.
Zhang Juexia saw Li Yun enter the kitchen and said, "Sister-in-law Yang, I got up because I couldn't sleep. Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Li Yun looked like she knew what was going on. She covered her mouth and smiled, "You and the master have never been apart, so you must be having trouble adapting. Madam, what are you going to make for breakfast?"
Zhang Juexia looked through the ingredients in the kitchen. Li Yiqun had put the leftover minced meat from yesterday's cooking in the well for her, and she had just taken it out.
She thought for a moment, "Spiced eggs, scallion pancakes, and some meat patties. As for soup, how about egg soup?"
"become."
Li Yun rolled up his sleeves to prepare the dough. Zhang Juexia prepared the meat filling and went to wash the eggs.
She washed the eggs, added water and enough seasonings, then lit the fire and started cooking.
Li Yun kneaded the dough and went to the yard outside to pick some green onions while it was still warm. She peeled the green onions and washed them. She shook off the water with her hands and put them on the chopping board to cut them into chopped green onions.
When the dough was almost risen, she started making scallion pancakes.
Zhang Juexia was responsible for making the pies.
Taohua woke up and joined in. Li Yun asked her to make egg soup.
Several people divided the work and worked together, and soon breakfast for the whole family was ready.
The fragrant breakfast instantly woke everyone up.
Lihua was the first to run to the kitchen, "Mrs. Ye, I'm so sorry, we overslept.
Yesterday the old lady told me to take turns helping in the kitchen. Look at this?"
Zhang Juexia comforted her, "It's okay, you have been traveling all these days, you must be tired.
Is the old lady awake?"
"She's awake, awake. She just woke up."
Zhang Juexia pointed with his finger and said, "That pot contains hot water that we specially prepared, and the water tank next to the well is also filled with water, so that it will be convenient for you to use.
Stop standing there and help the old lady wash up!"
"OK."
Lihua trotted out, and Li Yun looked at Zhang Juexia, "Madam, Taohua and I are here, do you want to go and take a look?"
Zhang Juexia was also a little worried, "Okay, I'll go take a look."
She and Lihua went to Old Madam Shen's room together. Old Madam Shen had changed into a cloth dress and only had a simple hairpin on her head.
Zhang Juexia walked closer and took a closer look. "Madam, you are beautiful even like this!"
"You're already an old lady, why should you still be beautiful?"
"No, I'm telling the truth. You are just beautiful, old lady!"
"Okay, okay, I'm beautiful now! By the way, what delicious food did you make? It smells so good!"
"You'll know when you eat it. We have to keep it a little mysterious."
Old Madam Shen pointed at Zhang Juexia and said, "You are such a talker, you should find a powerful mother-in-law to discipline you."
Zhang Juexia stuck out her tongue and asked, "Did the old lady sleep well?"
"I slept so well tonight. After you left last night, I slept until dawn.
If I hadn't seen Lihua sleeping soundly and couldn't bear to disturb her, I would have gotten up long ago."
Lihua lowered her head in shame, "Madam, I won't do it again."
"That's fine, that's fine. Young people have a lot of sleep, and you've been accompanying me on the road these past few days. Let's go, let's go eat!"
"good!"
Zhang Juexia ate with Old Madam Shen in the living room, while the others went to the kitchen.
Zhang Juexia heard people eating from the living room shouting that the food smelled delicious.
Old Madam Shen ate a piece of scallion pancake, half a meat pancake, a five-spice egg, and half a bowl of egg soup.
"Juexia, the food in your house is delicious. If I keep eating like this, I'll be a few pounds heavier by the time I go back."
"That's great! Madam, please don't be polite with me. Just tell me what you want to eat and I'll make it for you.
If I don’t know how to do it, please tell me how to do it.
In short, I want you to feel comfortable staying in my home."
After dinner, Zhang Juexia arranged for Lin Yuan to go shopping in town, while she accompanied Old Lady Shen to the handicraft workshop.
Old Madam Shen walked around the workshop and praised Zhang Juexia highly.
"The workshop is well built. It has many windows, so it is bright and good for the embroiderers' eyes.
And the small kitchen, the embroiderers' hands are the most precious, they can't do rough work, you can think of all this, it's really thoughtful."
Zhang Juexia felt embarrassed by Mrs. Shen's praise, "I was thinking that the two aunts are not good at sewing, so I wanted to find some work for them.
No matter how much you earn, it can help support your family.
Oh, by the way, madam, how are our purses doing?"
"Okay, if I sell it in Qingfeng City, I bet it'll be at least this amount!"
Madam Shen held up two fingers. Zhang Juexia couldn't guess how much it was, so she tried to say, "Two hundred coins?"
Madam Shen glared at her and said, "If this amount of money is sold in Qingfeng City, you have worked in vain. Girl, be brave and guess again!"
"Two taels of silver!"
Madam Shen nodded with satisfaction. "Well, not bad. You're a bit bolder this time. What do you think? Do you want to open a shop in Qingfeng City? And that soap shop in your county town seems to be doing well too. Let's consider it together."
In Qingfeng City, with our Shen family here, you can focus on doing business and don’t have to worry about anything else.”
With Madam Shen's words, Zhang Juexia was moved, "Madam, let me think about it again!"
"Well, if you ever come to your senses, tell me, old woman, and I'll support you."
Zhang Juexia was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes, "Madam, you are so kind to me, thank you..."
