Chapter 141 It will definitely work
"Much better." Fang smiled and replied, "The morning sickness is over. I don't vomit anymore, but my appetite is really big. I can't seem to get enough of anything I eat."
"I know this." Jiang Maihua interrupted, "A few nights ago, I fell asleep and was woken up by my mother. I saw her secretly gnawing on a chicken leg at night."
Fang felt a little embarrassed when her own daughter revealed her secret.
Jiang Mixia pinched Jiang Maihua's chubby cheeks and said, "Your mother has a baby in her belly. Now that there are two of us eating, she will naturally eat more."
"You have more fat on your face than during the Chinese New Year. Tell me the truth, is it because you eat a lot of meat?"
Jiang Maihua nodded embarrassedly.
"Don't bother your aunt all the time. Come down quickly and help me check if your uncle Wan's mother has come back. If she has, take these things over."
Fang gave Jiang Maihua a few cakes and explained, "Aunt Wan couldn't stay here. She said the child was old enough to help with some work, so she went to the street to sell tofu pudding. She gets up early in the morning and comes back in the middle of the morning. It's probably about time now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard voices in the yard. Through the window paper, he could see figures outside. It seemed that it was the Wan family and their two sons who had returned.
Then came the sounds of Jiang Maihua and the Song brothers and sisters playing.
Jiang Mixia took Fang aside to talk and chat about family matters.
Everything goes smoothly for Jiang Chunshi while working for Qiu Ji. His master is willing to teach and he is willing to learn. Now he is able to make some complicated furniture independently and is also a well-known carpenter in Qiu Ji.
The monthly salary also increased to one tael and five cents of silver, which was enough to provide food and drink for a family of three, and there would sometimes be some surplus.
All in all, life is better than before.
When it was almost noon when they chatted, Jiang Mixia helped Fang and Wan to prepare lunch.
The two families shared a stove, but in order to avoid disputes over meals, the two families cooked separately. When one family's meal was ready, they would serve a bowl to the other family.
Jiang Chunshi had lunch at Qiu Ji, and now he only had to cook for four people.
I used the meat available at home to stir-fry cabbage and pork slices, vinegar and potato shreds, pan-fried tofu, and celery and lean meat. The staple food was the oven-baked pancakes sold on the street, and the soup was spinach and tofu soup.
Fang is a good cook, and Jiang Mixia has also learned a lot of cooking skills from Liu. The two of them work together and the dishes they make are quite delicious.
After finishing their meal, they talked for a while, and Jiang Mixia and Jiang Youcheng had to go to Zhengji again.
Fang knew that they were busy, so she didn't keep them for long and just sent them out.
When they arrived at Zheng's, they met the shopkeeper Sun. Jiang Mixia and Jiang Youcheng showed him the new things that had been produced in the bamboo weaving workshop in recent days, including bamboo pillows and bamboo handbaskets.
Needless to say, the bamboo pillow is made of thick bamboo pieces as the frame, and the middle is woven with thin bamboo strips. Such a pillow is quite cool to lie on, and is not as uncomfortable as a porcelain pillow.
The bamboo handbasket is made in a style similar to modern bamboo handbags, with a drawstring-style fastening and shoulder straps, so it can be worn cross-body or carried by hand. Various patterns are woven with dyed bamboo strips on the handbasket, making it colorful and not monotonous.
When Shopkeeper Sun saw the two items, he nodded in praise, "These are all good things. Not to mention our county town, they will also sell well in the prefecture!"
To be exact, anything sent from the bamboo weaving workshop would sell well in the city.
Zheng's business is getting better and better. Manager Sun feels that he is much more confident than before. A few years ago, when the Zheng family summoned all the managers to report the accounts, he was very proud. That feeling was really great!
Shopkeeper Sun felt that his job as shopkeeper was becoming more and more interesting.
All of this was possible thanks to the fact that the boss at that time found capable people like Jiang Mixia and Jiang Youcheng.
Shopkeeper Sun agreed with these two items and immediately made the decision to determine the quantity to be purchased.
The things in the portable bamboo basket are fresh and not restricted by seasons, so we sell them first.
The bamboo pillow can be used later, when the weather is hot.
After chatting for more than an hour, the business was almost confirmed.
After Jiang Mixia and Jiang Youcheng left Zhengji, Jiang Mixia suggested going to the dental clinic.
"Go to the dental clinic?" Jiang Youcheng scratched his head.
They bought the land just a few years ago. Although the family had some money, they had discussed it and decided to save it and sell it in the future if they had a good business or a good farm.
When he went to the dental clinic now, Jiang Youcheng really didn't know what to do.
"Take a look at the houses in the county town." Jiang Mixia replied, "If there is a suitable one, see if you want to buy one."
The whip in Jiang Youcheng's hand froze in mid-air. After a long while, he asked with trembling lips, "Girl...Girl, are you planning to split up the family?"
Jiang Mixia, "..."
"There are only Jingyun and I at home. We don't even have brothers or sisters. Why should we divide the family?"
"That's right, that's right."
Jiang Youcheng was relieved to learn that it was not a split up family. "Then why did you suddenly think of buying a house in the county town?"
"The first imperial examination is the county examination, and the second is the prefectural examination. You have to go to the prefectural city to take the examination. In August of this year, you will take the academy examination. If you pass the examination and become a scholar this year, you can enter the county school to study and prepare for the annual examination next year."
Jiang Mixia said, "If Jing Yun wants to study in the county school, I'm thinking of buying a house in the county town, which will be more convenient."
"Yes." Jiang Youcheng nodded. "That's the case. Besides, buying a house is something that can only be encountered by chance. You have to rely on luck and spend more time looking around to find the right one. You have to start preparing early."
but……
It seems that my daughter is sure that Song Jingyun will be able to pass the exam? Song Jingyun has been studying for less than half a year...
But then again, the young son-in-law learns things very quickly, so studying should be easy for him.
Therefore, the young son-in-law will definitely be able to pass the exam! Jiang Youcheng suddenly felt full of confidence.
The door of the examination room was not opened until the sun set.
The candidates came out one by one, each looking quite tired.
This is no wonder. The seat for each candidate in the examination room is very small, and they have to eat, drink, defecate and urinate in it all day long. Add to that the exam pressure is quite high, and their physical energy is greatly consumed.
When Song Jingyun came out, his face looked normal and his steps were very relaxed.
Jiang Mixia hurried over to greet him, "From the looks of you, is everything going well?"
Song Jingyun scratched his head, "Madam, I think I put too much vinegar in the braised pork at noon, so it tastes a bit sour, and I forgot to add minced garlic, so it doesn't taste fragrant enough..."
