Chapter 312 What smells so good?
Once downstairs, Lü Shizhu's carriage was parked outside the courtyard.
The glass was wrapped in layers of cloth and placed inside the carriage by Lü Shizhu. He carefully opened it; the glass was only the size of a booklet, much thicker than ordinary glass, with barely passable transparency, incomparable to modern glass, and its color had a faint yellowish-green tint. In the sunlight, it seemed to shimmer with iridescent colors.
It doesn't look like glass, but it's very beautiful and translucent. The clarity is slightly compromised, but it's still much better than the impurity-filled glass that Jiang Nuanzhi saw for the first time.
"How about it? Not bad, right?" Lu Shizhu said, winking at Jiang Nuanzhi. "Hey, Nuanzhi, you're about to strike it rich! How were you so smart to ask Boss Tao for 10% of the profits? I couldn't even imagine that. Now that Boss Tao has produced such beautiful glass, you're going to get rich! Don't forget your brother then!"
Jiang Nuanzhi looked at him and found it amusing: "Who was it that said they would break off all ties with me, this big idiot, because I wanted to give them five hundred taels?"
Boss Tao did indeed promise to make good glass for him, thus waiving the expense. Jiang Nuanzhi wasn't stupid; she gritted her teeth and paid the money, then discussed profit sharing with him. In hindsight, it was worth it.
Lu Shizhu choked: "Now I realize I was the biggest fool. Who knew you could actually get him to make such fine glass?"
Jiang Nuanzhi stared at the glass: "Back then, I wasn't really sure either."
Lü Shizhu: "Huh???"
Jiang Nuanzhi continued with a smile, "However, I'm confident now, and I can probably burn even better next time."
Lü Shizhu: "!"
"Ah Nuan, from now on I'll follow you!"
Jiang Nuanzhi: "If I remember correctly, you've said this so many times, I'm sick of hearing it."
Lu Shizhu was about to say something when he saw the old man come out of the house. He immediately panicked and squatted down behind Jiang Nuanzhi, crying, "You can't see me! You can't see me! You can't see me!"
"Young Master Lu, you've arrived? Aren't you going to come and pay your respects to me?"
The next second, Lü Shizhu forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, winked frantically at Jiang Nuanzhi, and whispered, "If he tries to train me later, you have to save me!" He wanted to slap himself across the face for his foul mouth and saying he wanted to learn kung fu; now it was too late to regret it.
"What are you dawdling for? Come here now."
"Hey, here it comes!"
With a forced smile, Lü Shizhu ran over excitedly.
The old man was delighted: "Come on, let me see if you've made any progress lately."
In the next second, Jiang Nuan saw him arc through the air, being grabbed by the collar and thrown onto the roof by the old man. Even Lu Shizhu's smile was still frozen, not yet gone.
Jiang Nuanzhi: "."
Since you're so happy, you probably don't need her, right?
He turned to Dean Yue and said, "Dean Yue, this carriage is usable now."
Afterwards, holding Liuli and the booklet, she went into her own house in a good mood to continue her calculations.
"Yes, the second-floor flooring is installed. The baseboards are fine, but we're missing a few curtain rods and curtains. We need to check on the iron gate again tomorrow, and we also need to buy some oil lamps and charcoal. We also need new pots and pans, and the self-defense weapon that Li Rong mentioned."
On the rooftop, Lu Shizhu, who had been repeatedly tortured, stared intently at Jiang Nuanzhi. He had entrusted himself to the wrong person! He had entrusted himself to the wrong person!
When the young princess returned with a large entourage, the sun was already setting.
She entered the village intending to head straight for Li Rong's house, but her attention was drawn to a large courtyard with many houses.
Smoke curled from the chimneys in the courtyard, where a group of people gathered, their laughter and chatter filling the air. The young princess watched, momentarily lost in thought.
"What's that smell? It smells so good!"
A strange fragrance wafted through the air, and the little princess twitched her nose: "Achoo! What is that? It's both pungent and fragrant!"
Yu Chuan couldn't help but nod: "Your Highness is right, it smells wonderful."
"Yuchuan, are they idiots? Eating outside in this cold weather?"
Yu Chuan: "Princess, people from the countryside have their own way of life. Why don't we leave? It's awkward watching them eat like this."
The young princess remained motionless for a while before saying, "Yuchuan, go ask them for some food. I want to see what it is."
Yu Chuan was startled: "Princess, no! It's one thing for us rough folks, but you've been pampered since childhood, and you'll feel uncomfortable if you eat anything wrong. You really can't touch this kind of coarse food made by farmers."
"Why are you talking so much? I told you to go! Who said I wanted to eat? Hurry up."
"But it's the princess."
"Um?"
Yu Chuan met the little princess's eyes, and after taking a couple of steps, she turned back and said, "Princess, I've never done anything like begging before. Why don't you let Guard Liu do it?"
Guard Liu: "?"
The young princess stomped her feet in anger: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who told you to go begging? Why don't you use the money to buy some?"
Yu Chuan seemed to suddenly realize something, but after taking two steps, she came back: "Princess, we're out of money. All the money was spent on your medical treatment."
The young princess was so angry she gritted her teeth and threw the money pouch at her: "Go and come back quickly, I still need to take the food to find Li Junping!"
Yu Chuan took the money bag and strode inside. Just as he stepped through the door, he bumped into Li Junping, who was frowning deeply.
Ping'er glanced at Yu Chuan and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Yu Chuan was speechless for a moment, then suddenly bowed, turned around and ran away.
"Ping'er, who is that?"
Jiang Nuanzhi set up three large pots in the courtyard today, and a group of people were eating the pots together. It was a lively time, so she didn't pay attention to what was happening outside. She just smiled and asked Ping'er.
Ping'er pursed her lips and lowered her voice, saying, "Anuan, it seems that annoying Xiao Nianjun is here again."
Jiang Nuanzhi: "Huh?"
Outside, the young princess saw Yu Chuan return empty-handed and immediately narrowed her eyes: "Why did you come back empty-handed?"
Yu Chuan had a hard time explaining: "Princess, this is it. Why don't you go and see for yourself?"
The young princess glared at Yu Chuan fiercely: "Useless thing."
Then, he took the money bag and strode confidently into the courtyard.
Upon entering, my eyes were immediately drawn to the large pot of red broth.
"Hey, who's in charge here? Sell me that soup, and I'll give you twenty taels of silver."
Upon hearing this, the previously lively crowd instantly fell silent, and everyone instinctively looked towards the girl at the door.
Then, the air seemed to freeze.
