Chapter 29 Calculation
Fang Meng was a weak woman, handcuffed and shackled, and had to travel with three young children. It was really difficult.
Jiang Tangtang hesitated for a moment before nodding and agreeing.
Seeing Jiang Tangtang agreed to put Fang Zikai on the cart, the other families immediately gathered around, "Big sister, put my son on the cart too!"
"My child is feeling a little unwell, could you please help? No one else has a stroller except you, so I have no choice but to ask you for help."
Jiang Tangtang glanced at the women who had gathered around her and immediately rolled her eyes in her heart in annoyance.
She agreed to let Fang Zikai sit in the cart because Fang Zikai was indeed pitiful and Fang Mengshi had never gossiped about her.
But what happened to these people?
The child is already in her teens, and you still bring her here and treat her as a sucker?
Jiang Tangtang was about to refuse when Lu Shiyan came over and took the cart from her: "My cart is full!"
After saying that, he strode forward, pushing the cart.
The women who were rejected were very dissatisfied, but looking at Lu Shiyan's cold face, they didn't dare to say anything and could only continue on their journey with their children.
With the stroller to push the children and luggage, everyone in the Lu family's main house felt much more relaxed today.
Jiang Tangtang followed beside them, taking out some dried meat from the bag from time to time and feeding it to the children.
Of course, the wolf meat jerky had been eaten up, so today she gave the children beef jerky from her farm.
They are all jerky, and there is not much difference in appearance. It’s just that the taste is different.
Lu Jingcheng always pretended to be a mature little adult. Even when he found that the dried meat tasted different, he only frowned slightly and didn't say much.
And that kid Lu Jingheng was a follower, acting according to his elder brother's instructions. Seeing that his elder brother didn't say anything, he naturally didn't say much either.
Only Lu Tiantian showed a surprised expression on her face. However, the mother and daughter had already reached a tacit understanding, so she just smiled at Jiang Tangtang and continued eating.
Of course, Fang Zikai and Jiang Tangtang, who were also in the car, also gave him some jerky. But the little guy had never eaten wolf jerky before, and didn't know the difference between wolf jerky and beef jerky, so he just lowered his head and ate it voraciously.
So Jiang Tangtang's feeding this time was very successful.
When they took a break at noon, Jiang Tangtang pretended to find some wild fruits in the woods and gave them to the children to eat.
Lu Shiyan took out some glutinous rice, boiled it into porridge, and put it in a bamboo tube for the children to drink.
After such careful care, by the time they were almost in Luanxi County, the children's complexions had visibly improved.
But at this time, Jiang Tangtang was a little too busy to take care of the children, and she was anxious.
According to her inquiries, the officials rarely visited towns along the way. If they missed this stop in Luanxi County, they would have to wait more than half a month to buy things in the city again.
But it has been two days and Liang Jiamin still hasn't given her a definite answer, which makes her extremely anxious.
Unable to hold back any longer, Jiang Tangtang found Liang Jiamin again and asked, "Sir, what have you thought about what I told you the other day?"
Liang Jiamin said, "You just provide a recipe and don't care about anything else, but you only want 30% of the profits, and you also want us to take good care of your family on the way. You're completely trying to get something for nothing, and you're guaranteed to make a profit!"
"Sir, this is not a simple recipe. This is a food that has never been available in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I have been thinking about it for a long time before I created this dish. If I hadn't met with disaster this time, I would not have planned to take it out. Don't worry about having me as your home. I guarantee that you will make a lot of money." In order to convince Liang Jiamin, Jiang Tangtang was shameless for once and flattered himself.
"If the business doesn't take off, who knows what accidents might happen along the way? You just said a few words, and we brothers shouldered all the risk. You didn't worry about anything, and in the end, you took 30% of the profits. This is the first time I've seen someone calculate business so meticulously."
Liang Jiamin had actually been attracted to her for a long time.
Why do they do this hard work? Isn't it just for money?
If there was a profitable business, why would he continue to do this hard work? Wouldn't it be better to find a job in the capital and live a good life with his wife and children?
However, although I am excited, I also have a lot of concerns.
Jiang Tangtang pulled out a gold bracelet from her bosom. "This is the most valuable thing I have. Sir Liang, I am sincere enough, right?"
Seeing Liang Jiamin's face showing an expression of "you are sending away a beggar", Jiang Tangtang said, "I know that this piece of gold jewelry is not heavy. If you calculate it by the weight of gold, it is not worth much. But you have to look at the style of this jewelry.
This piece of jewelry is my own design and it's the only one of its kind in the entire Great Zhou. If you take this jewelry to the largest silver shop in the capital, it could fetch several thousand taels of silver for this style."
Liang Jiamin looked at Jiang Tangtang suspiciously.
Isn't it said outside that she is a good-for-nothing fool?
After getting to know each other for a while, it turns out that it’s completely different from what was rumored.
This Jiang family member is not only a good cook, but also designs her own jewelry. Furthermore, she speaks so clearly and logically, not like someone who knows nothing but food.
Even the black, fat and ugly people who were criticized the most in the past seem to be...
Wait, why does she seem to have lost weight? Not only has she lost weight, but she seems to have become a little whiter and doesn't look as ugly as before.
Jiang Tangtang had no idea of Liang Jiamin's complicated inner thoughts.
Seeing that he was silent, I had to rack my brains to persuade him.
"As for the accidents you're worried about, you don't have to worry about them at all. All you have to do is purchase the raw materials according to my method, make the marinade into sealed marinade bags, and have someone look after them. You don't have to worry about others copying me."
Liang Jiamin asked, "Why are you trying so hard to convince me? What do you want me to do for you?"
"Your Excellency is truly a wise man!" Jiang Tangtang flattered him calmly, "Actually, I just want your help. Please take me with you when you go shopping in the city. I want to buy a donkey cart and some daily necessities."
"You have quite an appetite," Liang Jiamin sneered. "Exiled prisoners are not entitled to ride in a car. I've already turned a blind eye to your children riding in a stroller and won't bother you."
"I wouldn't dare. I only bought the donkey cart to transport things. How could I dare to sit in it without permission?" Jiang Tangtang observed his expression and whispered, "Besides, as long as the officials traveling with me don't say anything, who would know, right?"
Liang Jiamin's face was not happy. "Did you plan this all along? You used the benefits of the braised meat to trap everyone together and help you hide it?"
"No, no!" Jiang Tangtang waved her hands repeatedly and said, "How dare I plot against you, sir? I sincerely want to discuss business with you and achieve a win-win situation."
