Suddenly, Jiang Nuan felt a little more sympathy for the villagers of Huangjiakou.
There was only a tiny bit.
“Mother, let my sister-in-law come with me,” Jiang Nuan said, patting her chest. “Don’t worry, I’ll protect her if anything happens and make sure she’s unharmed.”
Speaking of which, although she hasn't had the chance to go to the space recently, Jiang Nuan hasn't neglected her practice of the "Health Nourishing Technique," and her health is gradually improving.
Although she was still not as strong as an ordinary woman who worked hard, she looked more like a normal person.
At least, it won't give people the feeling that it might suddenly die.
That day, Jiang Nuan ultimately did not go to harvest the cabbages.
Because... Manager Jin is back.
Seeing Manager Jin return, Grandma Jiang was puzzled, but she still politely invited him in.
"Young Master Jin, why are you back again?" Grandma Jiang smiled and poured two bowls of water for him and Qiushan. "Is something the matter?"
"There is indeed something urgent," Manager Jin said anxiously. "Auntie, is your mother-in-law not here?"
“Hmm,” Grandma Jiang sat down on the stool next to her, “She’s been out for a while now, I reckon she went to her in-laws’ place.”
“Auntie,” Manager Jin tightened his throat, “I have something to discuss with her, whether it’s possible to have someone bring her back.”
"Okay, I'll send Xiao Si over to find someone right away."
When Jiang Nuan returned, she saw Manager Jin and Qiu Shan chatting casually with Old Lady Jiang.
"You're back already?" Jiang Nuan raised an eyebrow. "That's a bit fast."
"Mother-in-law, you're finally back!" Seeing Jiang Nuan, Manager Jin's eyebrows lit up with joy. "Quickly, sit down. Are you tired? Let me pour you some water."
Forehead……
Seeing Manager Jin's attentive manner, Jiang Nuan was speechless.
If I remember correctly, this seems to be her home.
Manager Jin is the guest who needs to be served!
“No need to rush,” Jiang Nuan said, shaking off the strange thoughts in her head. “Just say what you need to say. No need for all this pretense.”
"Um," Manager Jin glanced nervously at Jiang Nuan and asked tentatively, "Mother-in-law, do you still have those two jars of side dishes you brought us? Could you make some more?"
“And another thing,” Jiang Nuan looked at the two of them knowingly, “it can be mass-produced. Do you want it?”
“Yes,” Manager Jin said directly, “those side dishes are appetizing and refreshing. Wuweilou wants to stock some. I wonder what the price is?”
"Five coins a pound."
"Five copper coins a pound," Manager Jin paused, then frowned in thought. "That's a bit expensive."
"There's no way around it, the cost is high and the process is complicated," Jiang Nuan explained with a shrug. "This kind of dish requires the crispest and sweetest heart of the cabbage, the finest wine, precious spices, and the absorption of the essence of the sun and moon. This process is repeated several times to create a delicacy."
"Manager," Manager Qiushan said, looking very confused, "what did Madam Jiang mean? I didn't understand. Did you understand?"
"Hmm." Manager Jin nodded with an unpleasant expression.
More than just understanding...
He himself often used these clichés to fool people, using slightly different words, but they were all very similar.
They make it sound so nice, but the raw material is just common cabbage.
That heartless woman, so shameless...
When I bought it, it cost one coin for five catties, but when I resold it, it cost five coins for one catty!
Thinking back to how confidently he had told the chef it wasn't made from ordinary cabbage, he wanted to slap himself.
Unfortunately, even knowing it was a trap, he had no choice but to jump in.
