Chapter 192 Nightwear (Update 1)
The old lady looked at Jiang Zhiluo with admiration.
Mrs. Cui discovered that Zhiluo was very popular with everyone.
The way everyone looked at Zhiluo was so passionate.
But it's true, her Zhiluo is just good.
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said to the old lady, "We also do the chili meat sauce business, and now we have added the bread business."
"This bread is also delicious, would you like to try it, Auntie?"
The lady smiled and said, "I know your cooking is delicious without even trying it. I'd like two loaves of bread."
"I'll buy your chili meat sauce. My husband, son, and daughter-in-law all like it. It goes really well with rice."
"And that bottle is very durable."
"But how can I find you after I finish eating?"
Jiang Zhiluo said, "If it's not too much trouble, you can go to Cui's house in Donghe Village to buy chili meat sauce from me. Or I've been coming here often to set up a stall to sell bread, so you can find me here."
"Okay then."
As a result, there were so many people buying bread that all the bread was sold out in noon.
Having earned more than two thousand coins, Mrs. Cui and Jiang Zhiluo were very happy.
After they close their stall.
On their way back, Jiang Zhiluo and Mrs. Cui walked along the east street and happened to see the house that the old lady said could be rented out.
Madam Cui said, "This place looks good. It's close to the street, and it would be easy for people to know if we put a sign next to it."
"If you do business here, most of the people who come to buy things are residents nearby, right?"
Mrs. Cui still felt that if she opened a shop on a commercial street, business would be better and there would be more people.
Jiang Zhiluo said, "Mom, I've thought about it and decided not to rent a storefront. Let's set up a stall first."
"If I rent a house or a store, I'll have to renovate it, which will cost me money. I'd better save some money first."
Mrs. Cui nodded and she would listen to Zhiluo.
After returning home and having lunch, the two of them busied themselves making chili meat sauce.
If the chili meat sauce is prepared early, it can be sent to the academy early.
…
Jiang Zhiluo was also very busy in the next few days.
I make and sell bread every day, and also make chili con carne.
I could earn about two taels of silver from bread every day, and I made some silver after a few days.
Adding it all up, deducting the expenses for buying things and including the three taels of silver that Wei Xingye had given her before, she now had fifteen taels of silver in her hands.
Even the chili meat sauce was prepared and filled with more than 300 bottles.
Others are prepared and placed in large jars first.
"Zhiluo, all that's left is bottling. We still need two hundred bottles."
Jiang Zhiluo frowned slightly, "According to the schedule, Han Bingce should have delivered the finished bottles yesterday."
Madam Cui said, "Is there something that delayed it? I think that child is a man of his word. He always delivers on the day he says he will."
Jiang Zhiluo listened to what Madam Cui said, thought for a moment and said, "Mother, I'll go to Linxi Village and take a look."
Madam Cui nodded and said, "That's good. Bring the bottle back soon so we can bottle it and send the chili meat sauce to the academy soon."
"By the way, let's see if anything happened to Han kid."
Although Mrs. Cui didn't have much contact with Han Bingce, at most she would say a few words every time he came to deliver a bottle.
But Mrs. Cui had a very good impression of him.
Jiang Zhiluo nodded.
I also brought a basket with me and put some bread and a can of chili con carne in it.
Jiang Zhiluo walked to Linxi Village.
It was mid-afternoon when we went there.
It is the slack season for farming, and many villagers in Linxi Village are sitting together in groups of three or four with stools to talk and chat.
Jiang Zhiluo has excellent hearing and can hear what they are talking about.
They talked about some family matters and gossip about each family in the village.
As they were talking, they started talking about Lin Zhuzhu.
"Have you heard that Lin Zhuzhu has broken off the engagement?"
"What? Were you just engaged and about to get married? Why did you cancel the engagement?"
"I heard it's true. They say the man's family is a scholar and they look down on Lin Zhuzhu, a butcher."
"Just say, why would a promising scholar be engaged to a girl from the Lin family? Either it's because the Lin family has been running a butcher shop for so many years and has money, or they think the Lin family's son is a promising scholar with a bright future."
"That's not the case. It was the Lin family who took the initiative to cancel the engagement. I heard they even returned the engagement money to the other party."
"What? Are the Lin family crazy? They don't even look down on the Xu family's conditions. Do they think their daughter is so popular?"
"Their conditions are much better than the Lin family's. Could it be that the Lin family has suddenly become confused?"
"Who knows? Anyway, the Lin family has broken off the engagement with Lin Zhuzhu."
"So, Miss Lin's standards are too high and too picky. Who would dare to propose marriage to Lin Zhuzhu?"
"Why would a nice girl kill a pig? It doesn't sound nice."
"Don't say that. Lin Zhuzhu is a good child, filial and kind-hearted. No one can find fault with that."
"No wonder the Lin family didn't slaughter pigs last time they went to the market. It turns out they were busy with these things."
"That's how my reputation has really been affected."
…
Jiang Zhiluo stopped in her tracks when she heard these words.
She listened carefully and realized that Lin Zhuzhu had broken off the engagement.
It seems that the Xu family incident should be true.
Fortunately, Lin Zhuzhu's parents are sensible people. In this feudal era, they can ignore their reputation and only think about Lin Zhuzhu.
Jiang Zhiluo originally thought about going to see Lin Zhuzhu.
But I also thought that at this time, Lin Zhuzhu might want to be quiet for a while.
If she wanted to see someone, she would go to the town and set up a butcher's stall.
She hasn't been to town for a few days, so she probably needs time to adjust her mood.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Zhiluo decided not to go, but went to the Han family.
Jiang Zhiluo saw that the door was not locked, so she knocked, but there was no response.
"No one?"
She murmured and was about to leave, but suddenly she smelled a faint smell of blood.
Jiang Zhiluo's face suddenly changed as she realized that there must be someone in the house.
But when I pushed the door, it didn't open.
"Is anyone there? Is anyone there?"
"Han Bingce, are you home?"
I shouted a few times but there was no response.
Jiang Zhiluo looked around, but there was no one there.
The truth is that the shabby little house where Han Bingce lives is at the foot of the most remote mountain in the village.
Jiang Zhiluo could only step back a few steps, run quickly, jump up, and easily flip into the house.
She found that many bottles were already placed in the yard.
“It’s already been done.”
After Jiang Zhiluo entered the yard, she felt the smell of blood was even stronger.
She followed the breath into the room and saw Han Bingce lying unconscious on the bed.
He was still wearing his nightgown.
Jiang Zhiluo was surprised to see the outfit he was wearing.
Is this guy out to be a killer in the middle of the night, dressed like this?
Jiang Zhiluo leaned towards the bed, wanting to see how Han Bingce was doing.
Suddenly, Han Bingce opened his cold and sharp eyes. A dagger appeared in his hand. He jumped up quickly and put it on Jiang Zhiluo's neck.
