Chapter 277 Passerby Who Died on the Battlefield During the War of Resistance Against Japan (9)
After leaving school, Jiang Yue focused all her energy on her business. While waiting for the business to open, she attended many gatherings. The changes in the appearance of the mother and daughter were naturally noticed by others. Jiang's mother also introduced Jiang Yue's business to everyone. Jiang Yue responded very appropriately and gave some to each family. However, this time she gave them a diluted sales version, which was fast-acting but had a shorter duration of effect.
Besides Jiang's mother, Sister Zhao is also very helpful. She takes Jiang Yue around to play. Many of the wives on Sister Zhao's side are foreigners, and Jiang Yue is very comfortable in the community because she speaks a little bit of several languages. She can get into all kinds of groups at parties, and many people are already looking forward to the store even before it opens.
Jiang Yue divided her products into two parts. One part was high-end, priced in a way that ordinary people couldn't afford. Her main goal was not to cheat the poor. Even so, many people couldn't buy it. On the one hand, aged medicinal herbs were not easy to find, and Jiang Yue couldn't bring them out frequently. On the other hand, the quantity of high-end products couldn't be too large, otherwise they would lose their value.
The remaining products are ordinary products. There are no restrictions on the quantity of ordinary products, and the price is much lower. However, they take longer to show results and need to be used every day. Jiang Yue plans to do wholesale for this part and has recruited some people to join her. Otherwise, the profit is too high and Jiang Yue is afraid of being targeted. Orders for this part have already overflowed, and production cannot keep up at all.
Jiang Yue recently bought the wasteland next to the factory and is currently building a new factory. Through her partners, she also bought several production lines. With more connections, it's not surprising that Jiang Yue can bring out some supplies; with more people, it's easier to find excuses.
Lao Zhuang has also become the manager. He rented his original shop to Erzi, the shopkeeper he used to hire. After delivering supplies a few times, Jiang Yue's secrecy has improved. Her driver is now a member of the team and also serves as her assistant. It's more convenient to have him handle things.
When Jiang Yue went to the factory, she also visited the Wizard's Tower to discuss the current situation with Bai Ze and inquire about the progress of the virus research. However, a virus with such a strong targeting is not easy to research, but Jiang Yue has the time and can afford to wait.
I went to the warehouse to check on the stockpiled supplies. Several warehouses were already full. It's winter now, and Jiang Yue just sent away a batch of cotton clothes and cloth last time. She also sent out a lot of medicine. It seems that weapons haven't been sent out much yet. I'll try to find a way to send a batch of weapons over.
Moreover, the other supplies in the warehouse also need to be sent out as soon as possible, but a suitable time must be found. Although it has become much more convenient for Xiao Liu since he started following her, there are also many more restrictions. He can no longer openly create something out of nothing.
After finishing her day's work, Jiang Yue went home. When she got home, her mother's card game had just ended. Several people came up to greet her when they saw her, asking if she had any goods and if they could cut in line. Jiang Yue replied to each of them and only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing them off with her mother. She was more tired than when she was at work.
After dinner, Jiang's parents went to the study again. They've been working on something mysterious these past few days and wouldn't let Jiang Yue go up there. But she was too lazy to go up either. She'd been busy all this time and finally had some free time, so she didn't want to worry about anything.
After wandering around the yard, Jiang Yue recalled what she had inquired about a few days ago. This world was ultimately different from the first world. There was no Aunt Fang, no Chen Xin, and no little apprentice or master. After a while, she heard her mother calling her. The weather was gloomy, and it looked like it was going to snow. Her mother quickly invited her inside to avoid her catching a cold.
After returning to her room, Jiang Yue drank a cup of hot tea and went to the study to play Go with her father for a while. However, the Go game wasn't very interesting, as her father was quite bad at it. After playing for a while, Jiang Yue went back to her room to play video games.
When Jiang Yue woke up early the next morning, she drew back the thick curtains and was greeted by a world covered in snow. After admiring the snow scene for a while, she heard her mother calling her to get up.
"Mom, I'm awake. I'll wash my face first."
After replying to Aunt Jiang, I got dressed and went to the bathroom to take care of my personal hygiene before going downstairs. Aunt Jiang and Dad Jiang were already downstairs, and Dad Jiang was reading the newspaper.
While the aunt was cooking, Jiang Yue picked up a newspaper and started reading. Her mother watched from the side, and it must be said that the father and daughter looked quite alike.
Today we had soy milk and fried dough sticks. After breakfast, neither Jiang's father nor Jiang Yue went to work. It was snowing today and the roads were difficult to travel, so neither of them wanted to go out. They had originally planned to chat and have some tea, but Jiang's father was too busy and kept getting phone calls.
Jiang's mother and Jiang Yue decided to go downstairs to discuss what to have for lunch. After thinking for a long time, they finally decided to have hot pot. The thought of having hot pot on a snowy day sounded wonderful.
After finding the copper pot and washing it, the mother, daughter, and aunt started preparing the hot pot ingredients and broth. Meanwhile, Uncle Chen and Xiao Liu went outside to buy beef and mutton. Working together, they finished preparing the ingredients in no time.
Jiang Yue's parents shared a pot, while Uncle Chen and Aunt Liu shared another. Jiang's father brought out a jar of wine, which Jiang Yue recognized as yellow wine. She didn't like this kind of wine, so she just drank some fruit wine instead.
So she ran upstairs and took a bottle of spirit fruit wine from her space. This was Jiang Yue's favorite. She poured a glass for her mother and father, and then drank her own glass in one gulp. Her mother couldn't stop her.
"Slow down, who's going to fight you for it? What if you choke?"
After Mr. and Mrs. Jiang drank the wine, Mrs. Jiang poured herself another glass. Mr. Jiang wanted to drink some too, but after looking at the small bottle, he didn't drink any more and left some for Jiang Yue and Mrs. Jiang.
After eating for a while, the housekeeper came to Jiang Yue's and Jiang's mother's table. Jiang's father went to drink with Uncle Chen and Xiao Liu. They ate a little bit and drank some wine after Jiang's mother and the other two finished eating.
After dinner, the aunt was in charge of cleaning up. Jiang Yue ran back to her room to sleep. In this weather, having hot pot and some drinks, then snuggling into a warm bed for a good night's sleep, couldn't be more comfortable.
When Jiang Yue woke up, it was already past four in the afternoon. She hadn't noticed it while she was sleeping, but when she woke up, she felt a smell on her body. The bedding had to be changed. It was too hasty and added unnecessary workload for the housekeeper.
After taking a shower and changing her clothes, the aunt also changed the bedding. Downstairs, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang were drinking tea and playing chess, looking very harmonious. Jiang Yue didn't disturb them, so as not to see Mrs. Jiang roll her eyes.
With nothing else to do, Jiang Yue went to her study to practice calligraphy. After finishing, she felt she was in good form and had written a very good piece of calligraphy, worthy of being collected. Jiang Yue put the calligraphy away, intending to leave it to future generations as an inheritance when she died.
In a few years, it might be worth several courtyard houses, but it's also possible that it will be damaged before that time, which is quite likely.
