Even if Jiang Huaixu didn't come to look for Jiang Zhengmao, Jiang Zhengmao would still want to look for her. He hadn't given the girl the money for the vegetables, meat, and eggs yet, and she didn't even come to look for him. He was so busy all day that he almost forgot to go.
It’s not that Jiang Huaixu didn’t go looking for her, but she was busy herself and had planned to settle the bill together after shopping tomorrow.
The two met and decided to settle the bill together.
"You, after you buy something, tell your eldest brother. He's keeping the accounts. Uncle knows you have money, but even brothers have to settle accounts clearly. Only by settling the accounts can we avoid any quarrels."
Jiang Huaixu had wanted to ask for a long time, "Uncle, why do you let my eldest brother manage the accounts?"
"That's what I'm asking. The business is all your idea. If your family isn't in charge, who will? Do you want to manage it yourself?"
What Jiang Zhengmao said was a matter of course. He had seen clearly along the way that Erlang and Xuya were both good people. They didn't necessarily have any good fortune in the future. As long as he got along well with his cousin's family and lived a stable life, his cousin would also help their family based on the relationship between the two families.
Originally, Jiang Huaixu thought that Jiang Zhengmao would hand over the financial management to her eldest cousin, but now it seems that she was judging others by her own standards.
"Uncle, do you think I have grown taller in the past two days?" Jiang Huaixu responded with something completely irrelevant.
"What?" Jiang Zhengmao looked at Jiang Huaixu, "Isn't he still as tall as before?"
Jiang Huaixu's heart sank, but he still managed to finish the rest of his words: "For the past two days, I have been thinking hard about everyone's business, and my image has become taller. So whoever wants to do the accounting can do it, otherwise your niece will really not grow taller."
Although he didn't quite understand what was said, Jiang Zhengmao thought Jiang Huaixu was bragging. He shook his head and said, "You, at least be a little more modest."
After saying that, Jiang Zhengmao went to another house to check the situation.
In the evening, the tofu that Qian Xiuzhu made for the first time came out of the oven. Jiang Huaixu took a look and found that the tofu was a little old because it had been pressed by stones for too long.
Qian Xiuzhu didn't feel discouraged at all. She was very satisfied that she could do it well for the first time.
Jiang Huaixu also said that older tofu is just right for making braised tofu. First fry it and then braise it with minced meat and green onions. It is definitely delicious with rice.
After reciting the braised tofu recipe to Zheng Li'niang, Jiang Huaixu left the kitchen with Fu Tuan who was constantly wandering around the kitchen.
Fu Tuan twisted his body, [Host, what are you doing? ]
[Have you been eating less these days? Why do you look like a starving ghost?]
"I only eat the delicious ones. If they're not tasty, why would you touch them? You have so much money, and you're still so stingy. That's too much!"
Jiang Huaixu pinched the back of Fu Tuan's neck and made him look at him. "I was thinking of taking you to the county inn tomorrow to try the food of this era. Since you call me stingy, forget it."
She let go of his hand and was about to leave.
Fu Tuan touched the ground on his tiptoes with great agility, and after landing steadily, he happily followed Jiang Huaixu.
【Host, I was wrong~~】
In the evening, it was time for everyone to eat from the big pot. The meal included soup made from wolf bones, two stir-fries: braised tofu and spicy stir-fried Chinese cabbage, and thick old rice porridge.
Jiang Huaixu drank a large bowl of porridge with the dishes. When the wolf bone soup entered his stomach, his whole body felt warm.
After dinner, she taught Jiang Wei and the others a few words and then went to bed early.
The next morning, she yawned and stood by the carriage waiting for Jiang Miao, but instead she waited for Jiang Erlang.
"Second brother, why are you here?"
"I'll go with you to the county town, so we can go visit the county school there."
Jiang Huaixu responded happily and got into the carriage with Fu Tuan.
Seeing the horse in front of her, she suddenly remembered that she had to sell the horse.
She called Jiang Erlang, "Second brother, wait a minute."
After getting off the carriage and finding his father, Jiang Huaixu asked him a few questions and learned that his uncle would go to the county town to sell it in two days, so he stopped worrying about it.
Together with my second brother, I put the sacks containing the sword and arrowheads on the carriage and drove out of the yard. Just a few steps out of the yard, the carriage was stopped by someone.
"Sister Xu, we have done a lot of embroidery work these days. Can you help us sell it in the county town?" Li Qiaoer asked Jiang Huaixu with a bundle in her hand.
Jiang Huaixu reached out to take it, opened it and took a look. Both of them had good embroidery skills and did their work carefully. She had an idea and an idea flashed through her mind.
But she was in a hurry to leave, so she didn't think about it and said to them, "Just wait at home, sisters. I will definitely sell it for a good price for you."
The two of them expressed their gratitude repeatedly.
After a bumpy journey, the brother and sister arrived at the county town. As Jiang Huaixu had planned, they bought Amomum villosum, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, and galangal to make five-spice powder at the pharmacy, and then went to the iron shop to ask if they could melt the knife and arrowhead to make iron plates.
When the blacksmith saw the big knife, he looked at the brother and sister with a strange expression.
Jiang Erlang stepped forward and said, "Master, please don't blame us. We are refugees who have just arrived in Beichuan County. On our way, we encountered a fight between bandits and suffered casualties everywhere. We took advantage of the opportunity. Now we have settled down in Beichuan County. We are not evil people."
Hearing that the two were refugees, the blacksmith's expression softened considerably, but he was still worried. "Refugees like you are really rare. You wouldn't even have time to hide from bandits, but you'd rush over instead."
"Uncle, you don't know that we accidentally rescued a scholar from a wealthy family. His family brought many guards with them. In gratitude for our life-saving grace, they protected us all the way. The scholar settled in Linqing County and his surname is Lian. You can find out by asking." Jiang Huaixu said.
The blacksmith didn't dare to delay any longer and asked the two men what kind of iron plates and iron troughs they needed.
It would be easy to find out whether there was a refugee named Lian from the neighboring county. Bringing up this person not only explained why a group of refugees would take advantage of the bandits, but also showed that they had someone backing them up and should not be easily provoked.
Jiang Huaixu explained in detail and learned that he could only come to pick it up tomorrow, so he paid the silver and left first.
After finishing the two things, the two stopped working non-stop and found a noodle soup stall, sat down and had a bowl of noodle soup for breakfast.
The vendor was honest and a bowl of noodle soup was enough for me. After I finished eating it, my body warmed up.
When asked if Futuan wanted to eat, he twisted his face and said, "What kind of bland soup is worthy of being eaten by this dumpling?"
Jiang Huaixu immediately gave it a slap on the head, but it didn't hurt Fu Tuan at all.
Jiang Erlang ate slowly and leisurely, and she chatted with the vendor while waiting.
After Jiang Erlang finished eating, Jiang Huaixu asked about the rules of setting up stalls in the county market.
Before leaving, she tried to sell the five-spice powder she had ground herself to the vendor, but the vendor refused to buy it, so she wrapped some in cloth and left it to him, saying that she was giving it as a gift.
The peddler was afraid that Jiang Huaixu would not give him money for the meal, so he refused to accept the money. Jiang Huaixu took out the silver and paid for the noodle soup, and only then did the peddler accept the five-spice powder.
She returned to her seat depressed and sat face to face with Jiang Erlang. "This Uncle Song has dampened my confidence in selling five-spice powder."
She has it so hard that she refuses even if you offer it to her.
