Chapter 11: Making Money
Stir-frying leeks quickly. While Jiang Zhiluo was frying leeks and eggs, she was thinking about how to make money in this era.
There is nothing at home right now, so it is not easy to make money quickly.
If there were no leeks in this era, could she make leek boxes and sell them at the market?
But if you want to sell food, you need to set up a snack stand.
You can't just take all the prepared things to town to sell, because they will be gone in no time.
When people buy food, they still prefer to eat hot meals.
If there is something that can be prepared directly and brought to town to sell directly, there is no need to worry about the temperature, and there is no need to set up a special snack stall and use firewood or charcoal.
This way it won’t be so troublesome.
The simpler the better.
However, Jiang Zhiluo didn't know what was popular in the town.
She also wanted to open a clinic, but without capital and unable to get medicinal materials, she couldn't open the clinic.
While thinking about these things, Jiang Zhiluo quickly made the fried leeks and eggs.
"Mom, it's cooked, we can eat now."
When Mrs. Cui heard this, she quickly put out the fire on the stove, cleaned the stove, washed her hands, and prepared to eat.
When Mrs. Cui sat at the table, she was a little surprised. "I didn't expect it to be vegetables. They smell so good."
Looking at the emerald green chives on the plate, Mrs. Cui knew that they were not grass.
If it were grass, it wouldn't look like this when fried.
"It smells delicious and makes people feel hungry."
As Mrs. Cui spoke, she called out to the inner room, "He Jin, come out for dinner."
Cui Hejin heard the sound and came out.
At this time, he had changed into a clean black robe, and when he slowly walked out of the house, he exuded a mysterious and cold aura.
Different colors of clothes on him can give people different feelings.
Cui Hejin slowly sat down at the table.
Madam Cui said, "This is the dinner Zhiluo made. It smells delicious. Come and try it. We've never eaten leeks in the capital before."
Cui Hejin just sat quietly, his back straight, like a delicate orchid and a jade tree, and his posture was extremely elegant.
Whether it's his aura or his demeanor, this person must be from a prominent family.
Just sitting in this small room, he can make the humble place bright and lively.
Cui Hejin looked at the dishes on the table, her eyebrows moved slightly, and she looked at Jiang Zhiluo and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
His voice was as clear and mellow as ever, with a hint of coldness, as if no one could get into his heart.
Jiang Zhiluo said softly: "It's okay, cooking is very simple."
In her spare time, she likes to study food, which is also one of her hobbies.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at Old Madam Cui and said, "Mother, try it."
Only then did Mrs. Cui pick up a piece of leek and egg with chopsticks and eat it.
It was getting dark, and the family was sitting at the table eating. It was still drizzling outside.
Only after Mrs. Cui ate the leek and egg dish did she realize how delicious it was.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at her expectantly and asked softly, "Mom, is it delicious?"
Old Lady Cui felt a little sour in her nose. She never expected that her son could marry such a good wife in this bitter and cold place where he was exiled.
Not only is she beautiful and has a good temper, she is also an excellent cook. Most importantly, she is sincere to her son, which is more important than anything else.
After going through so many things, Mrs. Cui also knows who is good.
Madam Cui choked up a little and said, "It's delicious. I think it's really delicious. Even in the capital..."
After a pause, Madam Cui felt that there was nothing to hide. "Even in the capital, I've never tasted leeks like this. They're delicious."
When combined together like this, both the leeks and the eggs inside the leeks are so fresh and delicious.
When Mrs. Cui said it was delicious, Jiang Zhiluo breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled sweetly and said, "As long as mother likes it."
"Of course I like to eat it. It tastes much better than wild vegetables, cabbage and radish."
One winter, the vegetables their family ate were mostly cabbage, wild vegetables and radishes, and there were no other vegetables in winter.
Or they would eat pickled vegetables made from mustard seeds.
After eating the leeks, Mrs. Cui thought they were really delicious.
Even when Cui Hejin took a bite, a tiny ray of moonlight seemed to pass through his deep eyes.
Jiang Zhiluo couldn't tell Cui Hejin's expression, but just by looking at him eating slowly, she knew that he probably didn't mind this dish.
After eating and cleaning up.
Mrs. Cui boiled some hot water, and the family members each took a bath in a wooden tub and then prepared to rest.
In farming life, in order to save oil lamps and candles, everyone works from sunrise to sunset.
Because it was raining, it got dark especially early. After taking a bath and washing up, Mrs. Cui went to bed.
Jiang Zhiluo calculated the time and it was probably around six o'clock in the evening. She was used to staying up late in this technological age and couldn't fall asleep so early.
Even after drying her hair, it was still a little wet. She was not used to it without a hair dryer.
She sat quietly thinking about something when she suddenly heard a cough in the room.
Only then did she remember that Cui Hejin was also in the room.
Jiang Zhiluo looked in the direction of the voice and saw only a hazy figure sitting in front of the table in the room.
Jiang Zhiluo pursed her lips and said softly, "Can I light a candle?"
Cui Hejin coughed twice, followed by a sigh. He picked up two flints, struck them lightly a few times, and then lit the candle on the table.
The room was suddenly filled with dim light.
He sat beside the flickering candle flame, the dim light enveloping him, giving him a warm, moonlit aura.
It brings a touch of warmth into the house.
Even though it was just the beginning of spring, the nights were still extremely cold.
Jiang Zhiluo whispered, "Thank you."
Cui Hejin said calmly, "At home, you can do whatever you want. You don't need to ask."
Jiang Zhiluo thought that although he looked cold, he was actually very easy to talk to.
Jiang Zhiluo walked to the cabinet by the light of the candle and took out a small box.
She walked to the table with the box, sat down and said, "Although we are only nominally married, I still want our family conditions to improve so that I can take care of you and mother's health."
"This is the copper coin my mother gave me when I got married."
"Do you need money? Here are some."
Cui Hejin tapped the table lightly with his finger and looked at Jiang Zhiluo, meeting her eyes as clear as glass.
"This is what your parents gave you. Just keep it for yourself. The food at home is enough for now. If it's not enough, I will find another way."
Jiang Zhiluo reached out and touched the copper coins, which weighed a thousand coins, equivalent to one tael of silver.
But her parents gave her one coin so that she could use it conveniently.
Jiang Zhiluo's eyes fell on his hands, and her eyes trembled, "Mother said your hands are not good, you can't copy books anymore."
Cui Hejin said calmly, "It's okay. It's okay to write slowly. This is already much better than my previous service."
