Chapter 140 The Judge Ascends to the Mortal World
Everyone was busy in the kitchen and outside the yard.
The old lady was grinding flour and telling stories to the children. Huo Changan and Jintang were standing by the wall, not knowing what they were doing.
The two sisters-in-law and Mo Cuiyu were in the kitchen.
Only Huo Jingya was idle, sitting on a wooden stool and eating a pear.
As soon as she saw Sang Ning coming out, Huo Jingya came up to him excitedly and showed off her achievements of the day.
"Today I sold 120 coins, half more than yesterday. The people who came yesterday are back to buy, and there are also many who are here to inquire about it!
Prepare more gluten skewers tonight, these are the most popular! ”
Sang Ning looked towards the kitchen and saw Li Yuzhi and Mo Cuiyu kneading dough inside.
Although gluten skewers are delicious, there are not so many auxiliary ingredients now, and people have to rely on repeated kneading, stretching, pinching and pressing to wash out the gluten.
This is quite laborious.
After washing it several times, the dough changes color and becomes soft and elastic, which is the remaining gluten, about half of the original flour.
Then cut it into strips, wrap it around chopsticks and cook it, and finally thread it onto bamboo skewers.
One pound of flour can make fifteen strands of gluten, which only sell for seven cents. Excluding oil, salt and seasonings, it only earns a person's wages.
In Liangzhou City, where rice and flour are ridiculously expensive, it is really a great act of kindness.
Everyone is smart and buys this to eat.
However, the water used to wash the gluten is not wasted. After settling, it can be used to make dough.
People in Liangzhou love to eat noodles, but just like the tofu shops, they are now short of food and water, and many people are saving food to save their lives, so most of the shops are closed.
Sang Ning plans to add noodle dough and wild vegetable porridge to the store.
There are so many wild vegetables in the space, they are big and fresh, and taste better than regular vegetables. If you mix them with a little cornmeal, you can make a bowl of porridge that can satisfy your hunger.
It's a business with no capital, but I only charge a penny for labor for making wild vegetable porridge, which is considered as helping the people of Liangzhou City.
"Nothing happened today, right?" What Sang Ning was most worried about was that someone would see a woman opening a shop and pick a fight with her.
If everyone obeyed the law, she would be willing to give more food to save people.
However, she didn't dare to gamble on human nature.
Huo Jingya glanced towards the kitchen and whispered to Sang Ning, "That cousin is gone. He looked so pitiful and was talking about things from the past.
Sister Mo gave him a bowl of potato chunks. He refused to leave, so I chased him away with a stick.
"He is such a shameless guy." Sang Ning got to know Huo Jianglin again.
No responsibility, no conscience, no shame.
There is nothing good about it.
"Sister Mo worked non-stop all day. She must have felt sorry for us by giving food to Huo Jianglin."
This is also the value of Mo Cuiyu. She always knows how to distinguish the boundaries and does not think that what is in her hands is hers.
Yo hey?
For the first time, I felt that Huo Jingya had grown up smart and could actually figure this out.
As they were talking, Huo Changan and Jintang came over.
"There are several traps placed at the base of the wall. Stay away."
"Hmm? Is there something going on?"
Sang Ning knew that Huo Changan had been very busy these days. He took Jintang to make a bunch of pointed wooden stakes and asked Old Man Liu to first insert them into the wall and then cover them with stones.
This increases the height of the wall and also serves as an anti-theft measure.
Now the wall is completed, and all that remains is to build the top of the wall.
Why are you in such a hurry to make a trap?
"Just in case. Our food smells great."
Especially when he stewed the chicken, the aroma spread far away. He went outside on purpose and saw many people peeking in.
It’s better to be cautious.
Sang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Let's find another dog tomorrow!"
She had thought about this before, but since few people in the village can afford to keep dogs, there is not enough food for people.
She didn't do it because she was afraid of attracting attention.
In fact, as long as you have something to eat, you can't hide it no matter how low-key you try. You can tell by looking at how fatter their family members are than other people.
Liangzhou City is not big, and the villagers knew about her as soon as she opened the store.
Maybe she just found the source of water, which will make many people grateful and not have any evil thoughts.
But people have two sides, and good and evil are just a thought away.
A serious illness in the family, being humiliated, or not having enough food can all lead a kind person astray at any time.
How many people in the world can truly stick to their original intentions?
So Sang Ning didn't care anymore. It would be better to arm himself so that people would be more cautious and afraid of him.
"I want to find two big wolfhounds!" Sang Ning said with great momentum.
Jinxiu heard this and clapped her hands and shouted, "Great, great, the big wolfdog gave birth to another puppy for me to play with!"
Sang Ning laughed heartily: "Then one male and one female!"
Huo Changan: "..."
The slender phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and the dark color concealed the tenderness that seemed to overflow from the eyes.
His voice was filled with a smile as he suggested, "Why don't you go ask Su Huiye? There are purebred wolfhounds in the barracks. Even puppies are braver than local dogs."
"That's right! You are so smart!" Sang Ning praised.
The young man's eyebrows raised a little more, and a little light came out of his eyes.
The moon is like a disk, leaping onto the branches and spreading its light all over the yard.
Sang Ning's shadow was falling beside him. She was wearing a slightly loose dress today.
The hem of her skirt was lifted by the wind, and the shadow of her clothes fluttered up and down playfully. He couldn't help but reach out to touch it.
It's not that he's smart, it's that his father and second brother are both in the military camp...
The hand just hung in the air.
The softness and joy all over the body quietly disappeared, and was replaced by coldness.
He looked up.
The stars are shining, the moon is as bright as a torch, so bright, so round...
Is Mid-Autumn Festival coming soon?
There was a knock on the door.
Sang Ning and Huo Jingya ran over together.
It turned out that Xu Wude sent someone to deliver something!
Three full bags of good rice, bedding, cloth, porcelain bowls, tea, and charcoal for the winter!
Of course, there was also the 1,000 taels of silver that Sang Ning had asked for at the time.
Xu Wude was quite sensible and exchanged some small change for it.
The people who delivered the things were Chang You and another errand boy.
The two of them unloaded their things quickly without making any noise.
"Is your master all right?"
Since the other party was so honest, Sang Ning still asked with concern.
"Not very well. I don't talk much, I don't eat much, and my stomach has become thinner."
He only cares about Fatty's belly?
"Hu Qiu was sentenced to death, his friend was also imprisoned, and the second wife hanged herself."
"ah?"
That woman will commit suicide?
Chang You winked at her.
Sang Ning understood.
I guess he was killed.
It’s either the eldest lady or Xu Wude.
"Also, the master has dismissed all the maids in the courtyard and given money and property to those who were injured. Everyone is very grateful to you. They say you are the judge who has come down to earth."
Uh, isn’t the judge from the underworld?
Isn't it the judge who has ascended to the mortal world?
Chang You then quietly drove away, and everyone moved all their things into the house.
The old lady immediately took away a piece of cotton cloth.
"Fortunately, I haven't bought any yet. This is enough to make many more."
She looked at Sang Ning's stature, then at Huo Changan, and nodded as if she had an idea in mind.
