Chapter 170: Passion and Sincerity (Update 1)
Jiang Zhiluo arranged everything in an orderly manner.
Madam Cui said, "Our Zhiluo knows more."
But she also sighed in her heart that with such a capable daughter-in-law, she felt that she didn't have to worry about anything.
When it comes to cooking plans, she doesn't have Zhiluo's brains.
But think about it, when she was in the Cui family, she was also a powerful duke's wife.
But she knew that someone like Zhiluo would be a better mistress of a large family.
Unfortunately, Duke Cui’s Mansion no longer exists.
Otherwise, Mrs. Cui would have wanted to show off her daughter-in-law in front of those people.
I still remember when I was exiled, those people mocked me openly, not to mention what they said behind my back.
Mrs. Cui was holding a grudge in her heart.
But when she saw He Jin and Zhi Luo living a good life, and thought about having such a good daughter-in-law, she felt calm.
"But it's so late, I'll accompany you to visit your Aunt Li's home."
Old Madam Cui thought that it would be helpful to help Zhiluo when the time comes.
Cui Hejin said: "Mom, let me accompany you!"
Madam Cui smiled and said, "Okay, Mom suddenly remembered that she has something to do tonight, so you can go with her."
Jiang Zhiluo was eating some food when she paused and said, "Actually, I can do it myself."
Madam Cui disagreed, "That won't work. Let He Jin accompany you."
"He can't help you much at school on weekdays, and he doesn't know how hard you work. Now he happens to be at home, so let him go with you."
Cui Hejin added: “Yeah.”
Seeing that Mrs. Cui and Cui Hejin insisted, Jiang Zhiluo said nothing more.
Mrs. Cui seemed to have thought of something and said, "Oh, by the way, Zhiluo, what did you just say about the bread oven?"
Jiang Zhiluo's eyes sparkled when she talked about the bread oven. "Mom, it's a small container built in the yard, specifically for baking bread."
"Bread is just like pastry, but the taste is different. I'll know what it tastes like when it's ready."
"I'm planning to start a bread business in a few days. I'll bake bread and sell it at the market."
"The weather is neither too hot nor too cold now, so the bread can be kept for at least three days after baking."
Normally it will not go bad in five to seven days, but for the sake of safety, Jiang Zhiluo didn't want to keep it for that long before selling it to everyone.
She also has high requirements for the quality of food.
Mrs. Cui was amazed when she heard this. It was the first time she had heard of bread.
I can't imagine what bread tastes like.
But thinking of Zhiluo's cooking skills, Mrs. Cui knew that what Zhiluo cooked must be delicious.
"Mom, learn along with me."
She thought that if she learned more, Zhiluo would have an easier time.
Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "Okay."
Thinking that she only had a little over two taels of silver in her hand, Jiang Zhiluo felt helpless and had to earn more silver quickly.
The pig offal has been processed, and mother just needs to watch the pot cook.
Fortunately, there is income from braised food every day.
The braised food brought in one or two taels of silver every day, which was enough to at least cover some expenses, such as wages for people who helped with spring plowing.
Chili meat sauce also makes about one or two taels of silver every day. Sometimes, when there are many orders, he can make three or two taels of silver.
But doing so much at once does take time.
There aren't many orders these two days, so she can fix the bread oven first.
After dinner, Jiang Zhiluo took some herbs picked from the mountain and went to Aunt Li’s house with Cui Hejin.
At this time, Li had finished her meal and was feeding the pigs next to the pigpen at the door.
Seeing Jiang Zhiluo and Cui Hejin coming, he became excited, "Oh, it's Zhiluo and Hejin, come in and sit for a while."
She mentioned it on the ridge of the field in the afternoon, and Jiang Zhiluo agreed.
She was also wondering in her heart whether Jiang Zhiluo would come to help, and she didn't know when she would come.
She was also unsure.
I didn't expect it to come at night.
Jiang Zhiluo waved her hand and said, "Auntie, there's no need to bother. I'll come over and help you look after these pigs."
Mrs. Li was grateful and said, "I don't know what's going on. These pigs are not very energetic. I feed them as usual every day, but they just don't eat much. They look thinner."
Li raised a few pigs and worked hard every day to cut grass and feed them. He also thought that it would be the time to slaughter the pigs during the Chinese New Year, and the money he could make from selling the pigs would help supplement the family income.
Li has been worried these days and doesn't know what to do.
Jiang Zhiluo said: "Let me see!"
Jiang Zhiluo went in and did a quick check and said, "There's something wrong with the pigs' stomachs."
"ah!"
Li was a little stunned, she knew nothing.
Jiang Zhiluo took out one of the several herbs she had brought with her and said, "Boil this to make the water and give it to the pig."
"It would be best to disinfect the area around the pigpen with some wood ash soaked in water..."
Jiang Zhiluo explained some things to Li.
Li listened carefully to everything.
"Look at the state of the pigpen. I'm really sorry to bother you."
"It's okay, Aunt Li, don't worry. These pigs are fine and will be fine in a few days. But you still need to feed them on time..."
Li nodded seriously, "Yeah, now I know."
Knowing that the pig was fine, she felt relieved, because that was money.
Li believed Jiang Zhiluo's words and believed even more in her medical skills.
Liu Cang broke his arm during the busy farming season, but he was able to go to work in the fields that afternoon. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that a broken arm could heal so quickly.
That’s right, Mrs. Niu said that it was Zhiluo who cured her.
In addition, Mrs. Zhao was almost dying before, but was also cured by Zhiluo.
Now, Mrs. Zhao looks quite healthy. Who would have thought that she was barely alive when she was lying there at that time?
Pigs are definitely no match for humans, so there will definitely be no problem if Zhiluo takes action.
After dinner, Li's husband and son went to sit under a big tree in the middle of the village and chat with the villagers.
Only Li was at home.
When Jiang Zhiluo and Cui Hejin were about to go back, Li hurriedly grabbed them and insisted on giving them a handful of duck eggs.
If Jiang Zhiluo doesn’t want it, even the Li family doesn’t count.
"You don't want it, it means you dislike your aunt's things."
"You know how expensive it is to see a doctor. The benefits of these pigs are far greater than those of these duck eggs."
"Hurry and take it."
"If you don't take it, I'll go to your house and deliver it later. If anything happens later, I'll be embarrassed to look for you."
Li gave it sincerely.
What he said was all honest.
Jiang Zhiluo instinctively looked at Cui Hejin, and Cui Hejin nodded.
Jiang Zhiluo had no choice but to take it.
Fits right in the basket.
"Thank you very much, Auntie."
"You're welcome. Come to my house often in the future."
Jiang Zhiluo smiled, nodded, and waved her hand. The villagers were really warm and welcoming.
After spending a long time with them and dealing with the big guys, she felt a warm feeling in her heart.
Seeing Jiang Zhiluo happy, Cui Hejin also smiled faintly.
"I'll take it."
"It's not sinking anyway."
Despite this, Cui Hejin still took the basket.
Jiang Zhiluo and Cui Hejin walked home side by side, "Now we can pickle more duck eggs."
