Chapter 154: Lan Fengshui (Update 1)
Lin Zhuzhu always looks indifferent in front of others.
Only in front of Jiang Zhiluo would he speak his true feelings.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at Lin Zhuzhu, not knowing what to say.
Jiang Zhiluo said, "You've sacrificed so much for your parents and your family, but have you ever thought about yourself?"
Lin Zhuzhu smiled and shook her head, saying, "How can you be so calculative among family members?"
"Although I'm a girl, when my family was well off, my parents and brothers were all very kind to me."
"If they weren't nice to me, I might be a little selfish, but they were really nice to me."
"My father is injured and can't run the stall. My mother is weak, and my brother was still young. If I hadn't stepped up, they might not have had enough to eat, let alone get medicine."
"My father is in much better health now, and my brother is also well educated. Although he is young, he has already passed the county exam. After passing the prefectural and imperial examinations, he will become a scholar."
"After my younger brother passes the imperial examination, I won't have to worry about my parents anymore. Besides, if I want to live well in my husband's family, I'll have to rely on my parents in part."
"Even when it comes to getting married, my parents will only agree if I agree and nod. They also want me to live a good life..."
Jiang Zhiluo listened to Lin Zhuzhu say this and knew that Lin Zhuzhu was a kind-hearted woman.
And she was very clear about some things.
Jiang Zhiluo said: "I can understand your feelings."
"But we can't postpone it for a moment. We must find out for sure."
"You said he was studying at the academy, but I asked a friend of my husband's, and he said he hadn't heard of his name at the academy yet."
Lin Zhuzhu actually couldn't listen to anything else now.
She said, "There are other private schools in the county. Most people don't have the knowledge to study in a private school, so he might not be able to enter a private school, so he studies in a private school."
Lin Zhuzhu felt that Sister Jiang was really amazing. She knew someone who went to the academy, so that person must be very knowledgeable.
She was actually very grateful in her heart.
Jiang Zhiluo hesitated to speak and ultimately said nothing more.
But when she was about to sell the chili meat sauce, she said, "Sister Lin, if you have anything in the future, you can tell me."
"good."
…
Jiang Zhiluo then went to the pier.
She went to a large merchant ship called Lan Fengshui and found a manager named Lan Fei.
Lan Fei is a servant of the Lan family and is in charge of this merchant ship.
Seeing Jiang Zhiluo coming over, Manager Lan Fei said with a smile, "Miss Jiang!"
Although she is just an ordinary village girl, Manager Lan Fei will not really treat her as an ordinary village girl.
This young lady is very eloquent and knowledgeable at such a young age, and her temperament makes her look like a lady who was carefully brought up in a wealthy family.
But it doesn't look like someone from the countryside at all.
As one of the many servants of the Lan family, the reason why Lan Fei was able to become the manager was related to his vision.
He knows how to judge people and handle things, and never looks down on anyone.
What's more, the chili meat sauce made by this young lady is really delicious.
Those who sail merchant ships are on the ship all year round. Sometimes they travel long distances and stay on the ship for one or two months, so food becomes a problem.
It is very inconvenient to cook every meal on the boat, especially the smoke and smell of food can easily attract attention.
To be on the safe side, most of them eat dry food with pickles.
It was certainly a bit harder, but after his men bought the chili meat sauce, he immediately realized that it was a good thing.
It can be eaten with dry food and is easy to store.
It’s not spicy, but it has that flavor, and the taste is delicious.
Their merchant ship was about to return, and the trip would take more than a month, so he thought of buying some more chili meat sauce.
Finally, the young lady told me that I could order it in advance and bottle it for easy carrying.
After knowing what was going on, he directly ordered sixty bottles. Thirty bottles were enough for everyone on the ship, one bottle per person, and the other thirty bottles were given to the young master, who would probably be happy.
The master is not in good health now, so the young master is in charge of all family matters, big and small.
Naturally, they also have to be loyal to the young master.
Jiang Zhiluo put the large box down and said, "Manager Lan, these are sixty bottles of chili meat sauce, each weighing one kilogram. Please inspect the goods."
Lan Fei called his men over and asked them to take a look.
His men checked it and said, "Manager, no problem."
Lan Fei nodded, took out one or two taels of silver and said, "This is the tail silver."
He had previously paid a deposit of one or two taels of silver.
Jiang Zhiluo said, "It's too much."
Lan Fei said indifferently: "If there are more, just consider it as a reward for you."
For Lan Fei, two taels of silver was a small sum.
Jiang Zhiluo quickly took out two hundred coins and handed them to Lan Fei, saying, "Here's your change."
Seeing the serious and persistent look of the young lady, Lan Fei smiled and took it.
But I have some admiration for this young lady in my heart.
Lan Fei couldn't help but ask, "A lot of people at the dock would like us to give them more silver. Why don't you want it?"
"Isn't the purpose of your business to make more money?"
Jiang Zhiluo smiled faintly and said, "A gentleman loves money but earns it in a proper way."
"I don't need the reward."
Lan Fei said: "Young lady, you are quite ambitious. Let's order something from you next time we come."
Jiang Zhiluo said, "Next time you come here, I may not set up a stall at the dock, but if you want to order more chili meat sauce, you can find me at Cui's house in Donghe Village."
Now I run a small business and run around the dock.
After she has finished promoting the product, she plans to take orders at home.
If Lan Fengshui comes here again in a few months, she may not come to the dock often.
Lan Fei nodded.
Jiang Zhiluo took the chili meat sauce and went to the small boats nearby that were ordering chili meat sauce.
Some directly order three bottles, and some order five bottles.
Jiang Zhiluo has a good memory and sent them over one by one.
Everyone has a good impression of her.
"Thank you so much, young lady, for taking the trouble to make this trip."
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "It's my duty."
"But you delivering the goods like this really saves us a lot of effort. We don't have to wait in line and waste time, and it doesn't affect our fishing."
Jiang Zhiluo knew that her door-to-door delivery method was indeed convenient for many people.
In this era, there was no express delivery or takeout, so everyone had to go shopping in person to buy things.
Some of the small boats are inhabited by families who are busy fishing and catching shrimps on weekdays.
Jiang Zhiluo said, "You are taking care of my business by ordering from me."
In fact, for Jiang Zhiluo, it is convenient for her to have the food delivered directly to her after it is done.
It saves you from setting up a stall to weigh things.
This way you can just go home directly after delivering it.
When Jiang Zhiluo was delivering goods, she found that the ships at the dock were of different sizes, and some were old and dilapidated.
A family of four or five people were squeezed into the boat, including a child about ten years old.
When Jiang Zhiluo walked forward, she saw two children drying their fishing nets at the bow of the boat.
There was a bucket next to them, and there seemed to be fish in the bucket.
Jiang Zhiluo took a look and saw that it was a grass carp.
Jiang Zhiluo thought that she hadn't eaten much fish recently.
This grass carp is very big, I can take it home to make sauerkraut fish noodles.
When she came back from her parents' house a few days ago, her mother gave her some sauerkraut made from mustard greens.
It can be used to make pickled fish noodles.
Jiang Zhiluo walked over and asked, "Little brother and little sister, may I ask, are you selling the fish in this bucket?"
