"Since we're going to rob it, we'll naturally use a surprise attack." Jiang Huaixu smiled confidently, "We have five-spice powder, and I know the recipe. Tofu fried with five-spice powder is definitely delicious! Selling tofu is secondary; the main thing is this five-spice powder."
If she wanted to feed so many people, she had to open a workshop. After much thought, she felt that a food workshop was more reliable, as it gave her more room for operation.
Qian Xiuzhu's eyes lit up little by little. She savored the taste of the five-spice powder and nodded, saying, "Five-spice powder is indeed delicious. As long as we keep the recipe and make it famous, we'll have no problem selling it in the future."
Seeing that Qian Xiuzhu also thought this was a good deal, the two of them discussed how to reasonably make the millstone appear.
After making sure everything was safe, Qian Xiuzhu said, "Once you have the millstone, you can teach your mother how to make tofu. I'll try to see if I can make it. If that doesn't work, ask your sister-in-law. She learns quickly about anything edible."
"Yeah!" Jiang Huaixu nodded and encouraged his mother, "Mom, if you and sister-in-law can help, there will definitely be no problem!"
After pumping the air, she added, "One last thing. There are some wolves and rabbits in the little house. My second brother and I plan to go to Jiuxi Mountain a few times in the future and bring some back each time."
Qian Xiuzhu keenly caught a word: "How many times?"
"There were 14 wolves, 3 hares, 1 pheasant, and some bird eggs. I put some of them in the little house and I forgot about them."
Some of it was forgotten, and some was not. It takes a long time to prepare the food carefully while fleeing, and people are already tired after a day, which undoubtedly adds to the burden on my sister-in-law. If the food is not prepared carefully and tastes bad, it is a waste, so it is better not to take it out.
Qian Xiuzhu's brows furrowed. "How could there be so many wolves that night?"
She sighed in fear, "You two are too brave. What if something bad happens to me and your father?"
Seeing tears welling up in Qian Xiuzhu's eyes, Jiang Huaixu hurriedly said, "Mom, don't be sad. We're fine now, aren't we? We were forced to that point before. I will never drag my second brother into doing anything dangerous again!"
"You see, your second brother is usually gentle and polite, but he is not a peaceful person at heart. There is no need for you to pull him along." Qian Xiuzhu has a clear understanding of her children.
"Mom is just worried that you will get hurt."
The mother and daughter were chatting in the house, unaware that Fu Tuan was performing a tomato-eating show for people outside.
"Sanlang, was this red thing bought by your youngest sister? What does it taste like?" Zheng Yuan was so greedy for Fu Tuan.
Jiang Sanlang had no idea that the small sack that Fu Tuan always carried on his back contained something that looked like fruit, otherwise he would have tried it earlier.
"How should I know? My little sister never told me." Jiang Sanlang swallowed silently.
"Futuan is edible, so it shouldn't be poisonous, right?" Jiang Wei stared at the tomato held in Futuan's little paw. "How about I try it too?"
"What do you want to taste?" Jiang Erlang approached from a distance. "Where are the Ah Xu people?"
"Second brother is looking for me?" Jiang Huaixu opened the door and walked out.
"Nothing, I just came in through the door and didn't see you."
"I'm talking to Mom."
As soon as she walked in, Jiang Huaixu saw Fu Tuan happily chewing a tomato. She glared at Fu Tuan with disapproval and took out the small sack of tomatoes from under his butt and handed it to Jiang Wei, "Sister, share it among you. Leave two or three and take them to the kitchen."
Then he said to Jiang Erlang, "Second brother, come with me."
The brother and sister walked out of the courtyard and came to a deserted place. Jiang Huaixu told Jiang Erlang about going up the mountain, and Jiang Erlang agreed immediately.
It was already dark. There was no moon that night and everything was pitch black.
Perhaps because he had adapted to the weather in Chongming Prefecture, Jiang Huaixu didn't feel very cold. "Second brother, I heard in the county town that there is a county school in Beichuan County. Aren't you going to study for the imperial examination? You should make plans early."
Jiang Erlang looked up at the stars and the large inky clouds in the sky.
"My eldest brother was delayed in Shili Village. Although he didn't say it, I know he has ambitions. If I go to the county school, he, as the eldest son, will definitely have to shoulder the burden of the family. How can I feel at ease with that?"
Jiang Huaixu opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Second brother, do you also think that Third Brother is unreliable?"
Jiang Erlang:······
He said tactfully, "Third brother has a childish temperament and needs more experience."
"Then give him a chance to gain experience. You and eldest brother should just be hands-off with household affairs. Only then will he have the chance to gain experience." Jiang Huaixu said, "If third brother also wants to study, and all three brothers in the family go to school, my sister and I can also support the family. If the court hadn't refused to grant special examinations to women, I would definitely drag my sisters to study together. Even if it's not for fame and fortune, just to gain knowledge, it would be a great success."
She said calmly, "Second brother, the things you are struggling with now are things that some people never have the choice to do. You should cherish them."
Jiang Erlang felt his heart trembling and his body filled with fear. The dark cloud that had been hanging over his heart for a long time disappeared at this moment.
He stood there for a long time, then said with a wry smile, "Xu, you think about many things more thoroughly than I do."
"It's just that those involved are confused." The last syllable dissipated in the cold air, with a faint sigh.
Jiang Erlang said nothing more.
Jiang Huaixu, are you watching me, or everything you see?
That night, some people slept soundly, while others stayed awake all night.
The next day, Jiang Huaixu woke up and went to the stream to wash up, only to find that there were several tied-up people in his yard.
For the past two days, Qian Xiuzhu, Zheng Li'niang and their five daughters have been sleeping on the largest kang.
Before going to bed yesterday, she bought some medicine to kill head lice in the system mall and applied it to everyone's hair except her own. It was already very late when she finally wrapped it with cloth. Before going to bed, she seemed to hear Jiang Wei and Jiang Fu saying something like "hooligan", but unfortunately she was too sleepy to hear it clearly.
After kicking the three people who had been frozen all night, Jiang Huaixu found that they were still moving, so he ignored them.
The medicinal herbs she bought yesterday have not been included yet. After they are included, she should have five million points. The thought of it makes her excited.
