Chapter 227 Mysterious Identity (Part 2)
Jiang Zhiluo also remembered this lady. She used to like buying sugar-roasted chestnuts. She smiled and said, "Auntie, you are here to buy something at the market."
"Of course I am. I am here to buy some food to cook for lunch. You also have sugar-roasted chestnuts. My family loved them last time and they said they were delicious. You don't sell anything like your cooking at the market."
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "You are really too kind, Auntie."
"Well, give me a bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts and a bottle of chili meat sauce. My sister-in-law will be back in a few days, so I'll buy her a bottle to try."
As she spoke, the old lady readily took out sixty coins, and Jiang Zhiluo gave her a bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts and a bottle of chili meat sauce.
He was an old customer and I knew him, so there was no need to waste time talking when he bought something.
A woman also came over and said, "Oh, Miss Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Auntie, you bought my chive boxes and pot cakes before, I remember."
The woman smiled and said, "You have a really good memory, but why don't you make chive dumplings? They are so delicious to us."
Jiang Zhiluo said, "I won't make leek boxes anymore, but leek boxes are also a kind of vegetable. If you want to eat them, you can grow some yourself."
The woman's eyes lit up and she said, "I do think so. We have a special plot of land in our yard for growing vegetables. My mother-in-law used to live in the countryside and didn't like to play with flowers and plants in the yard, so she liked to grow some vegetables. But I asked around in many places, and no one knew about leeks."
Jiang Zhiluo said, "Auntie, I have some chive seeds here. If you want to buy some, you can buy a pack and plant them at home. You only need to buy them once. If you want to plant chives next year, you can just keep the seeds."
The woman looked at Jiang Zhiluo gratefully and said, "Miss Jiang, you are so... so kind."
"It's a rare sight to see."
"Then I'll buy a packet of seeds."
Jiang Zhiluo took out a bag of chive seeds and handed it to the woman.
He also taught her what she needed to pay attention to when planting, and how to harvest leeks one after another.
The woman was moved and grateful. She knew how delicious leek dumplings were and that it was a profitable business. If it were someone else, they would have hidden such a good thing from everyone.
Who would have thought that Miss Jiang would sell seeds to them.
The woman asked, "How much is this packet of seeds?"
Fortunately, she had some extra money in her pocket. The woman thought that such a good thing would cost at least a few hundred coins.
Just like flowers, rare and precious flowers, the seeds cost several taels of silver.
Jiang Zhiluo said, "Five coins for a bag like this."
"What?"
The woman suspected that she had heard it wrong.
How could chive seeds be so cheap? She must have heard it wrong.
Jiang Zhiluo repeated patiently, "Auntie, just give me five cents, five cents a bag."
An indescribable feeling surged in the woman's heart.
I just think Miss Jiang is beautiful no matter how I look at her.
"How can the seeds of such a good thing be so cheap?"
Jiang Zhiluo said, "I'm doing other business now, so I won't be doing the leek box business. I think leek seeds are cheaper, so even poor families can afford them. As long as there's land, they can be grown in the yard, so everyone can have an extra vegetable to eat every day."
“And you can grow some chives indoors to eat in the winter.”
Jiang Zhiluo then explained the method.
The woman sighed and said, "Miss Jiang, you are amazing. You are someone who can accomplish great things. You have a broad mind, which most people cannot compare to."
"I admire you."
Yes, the woman listened to her words and felt only admiration in her heart.
Most people don't have such a broad mind and tolerance.
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said nothing.
If she could only do the leek box business now, she would not sell leek seeds.
…
At this time, a woman wearing a conical hat was sitting by the window on the second floor of a teahouse next to the market.
While she was drinking tea, she happened to hear the noise downstairs.
She also saw what just happened.
After a while, a man in black quietly entered the house.
He saluted respectfully and said, "Master!"
The woman said calmly, "Have you checked it out?"
The man in black said, "We've checked it out. The female teacher is from the Jiang family of Xingshan Village. She married into the Cui family in early February and became Master Cui's wife."
"Young Master Cui was indeed the heir of Duke Cui's mansion. After he and Old Madam Cui were exiled and half of the world was pardoned, they were freed from their criminal status and lived in Donghe Village."
The woman tapped the table with her finger. "Jiang Zhiluo doesn't look like a country girl. Are there any unusual things about her parents?"
The man in black said, "No, it's just that they came to Xingshan Village nine years ago."
Miss Qiao paused while sipping her tea. "Nine years ago! This isn't an ordinary time."
A lot of things happened nine years ago. Nine years ago, the Wei family was destroyed for treason, the crown prince was imprisoned for witchcraft, and loyal ministers were killed...
a lot of.
Those who hid at that time were all related to these things.
It must be someone related to the prince and implicated in the prince's case.
The woman thought for a moment and said, "No need to check."
"yes!"
"Is there any news from Southern Xinjiang?"
"Just received news that Linley and his companions were attacked while entering Southern Xinjiang and suffered serious injuries."
The woman's voice was cold and stern, and it was difficult to tell whether it was male or female. "Take Shadow and go there yourself. Find the fragrant purple grass. Mengmeng must not be in any danger."
The man in black said, "Master, Prince Duan is now starting a war, and if we're not careful, it will spread here. Shadow needs to protect you, so I can go alone."
The woman said seriously, "He is the only one who left bloodline to the Wei family. I must help protect him."
"So needless to say, you should take Shadow with you and go to Southern Xinjiang in person."
"As for where the war will spread, let's wait and see."
The man in black said, "Master, why don't you..."
Before the man in black could finish, the woman interrupted him and said, "We'll talk when the time is right!"
"yes!"
After the man in black left, the woman slowly stood up. At this time, the wind outside blew up the veil on her face, revealing half of her face.
If Jiang Zhiluo was here at this moment, she would be shocked because this was actually Miss Qiao.
…
Jiang Zhiluo was concentrating on selling chili meat sauce and sugar-roasted chestnuts.
Many of them are old customers who recognize Jiang Zhiluo, so they know that the food she cooks is delicious. They all approve of her products and buy a lot of them.
So business is good.
By mid-morning, all the items were sold out.
Jiang Zhiluo and Old Madam Cui closed their stall, and Old Madam Cui looked at the ox cart and the things.
Jiang Zhiluo went to buy duck eggs.
She first went to an old lady in the corner.
Because when she came to the market, she noticed the old lady with gray hair and hunched back.
She was sitting on a stool with a basket in front of her, which was full of duck eggs.
She didn't know how to shout, and no one came to see her, so she just sat there motionless waiting for people to come and buy.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Zhiluo felt a little uncomfortable.
She walked over and asked, "Old man, how much are you selling this duck egg for?"
The old lady was very excited when she saw someone coming to ask, and she quickly said, "One penny for two duck eggs."
Jiang Zhiluo looked down at the duck eggs and prepared to buy them.
But the old lady saw that Jiang Zhiluo didn't say anything, and said nervously: "If you buy more, I can give you a discount."
