"The salted duck eggs?"
Liu was pleasantly surprised. Her sister had solved the problem of selling roast ducks, so could salted duck eggs also be delivered to restaurants?
"Sister-in-law, I estimate we can take some from the restaurants, but not too much. After all, restaurants mainly serve food and drinks, and salted duck eggs are salted goods, which aren't suitable for restaurants, but they're suitable for breakfast stalls..."
Jiang Yue shook her head and expressed her thoughts.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian and Liu's eyes widened, and suddenly their minds lit up as they realized what was going on!
They completely understood what the girl meant!
Both roast duck and salted duck eggs can be sent to the Ke Si Yun Lai Restaurant in Peach Blossom Town to discuss cooperation with the manager.
At the same time, they can also deliver to restaurants and other places in towns such as Ping'an Town, Qiushui Town, and Tongle Town!
As long as you are diligent, you will never have to worry about not having a way out!
Got it! May your future be filled with wealth!
"Little sister, thank you so much for taking care of me!"
Jiang Nian clasped his hands in a fist and said, expressing his deepest gratitude.
These recipes for roast duck and salted duck eggs are family heirlooms!
The girl just gave herself to this older brother like that. This older brother really got incredibly lucky!
"Sister, I won't thank you enough. I'll remember this kindness. No matter what happens to our family, this will always be your home!"
Liu said the same thing, without saying anything more. She went to catch two older, fatter ducks to take with her when her husband took his sister home!
Jiang Yue was about to say there was no need to bother, but her sister-in-law ran off very quickly, and her older brother asked her a few more words, so she had to teach her older brother first.
Qingshan had no doubt that his mother could read; he simply assumed she was hiding her abilities.
Jiang Nian guessed that it was because his nephew Qingyun was studying that his sister had taught herself many words and skills...
Jiang Yue won't add any unnecessary explanations; maintaining her current air of mystery only makes her more convincing.
The time spent together was always too short. After settling everything, Jiang Yue suggested going home.
Without saying a word, Jiang Nian hitched up the oxcart, determined to take his sister, nephew, and niece home.
Liu tied up two plump old ducks and collected two baskets of duck eggs, lining each layer with straw so they wouldn't break.
"Hey girl, we don't have anything good at home. You can take this duck and duck eggs home with you, or give them to your in-laws."
"Thank you, sister-in-law. You don't need to see us off. When you have time, I'll have my brother drive you over for a visit."
No wonder people often say that the eldest brother is like a father and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother; Jiang Yue now understands the meaning of this saying.
Goodbye, Auntie!
"Auntie, wait a minute!"
"Hey, Qingshan and Qingyao, you two stay home and listen to your mother, take good care of yourselves and your mother~"
"Giddy up!"
The oxcart started moving, and Liu saw him off at the door. Only when the oxcart was out of sight did she go home.
"Girl, your sister-in-law likes to nag. Listen if you can take it in, otherwise just ignore her."
Jiang Nian grinned, secretly very satisfied with his wife; his "disdain" was just a polite way of putting it.
Jiang Yue, with one arm around her daughter and the other resting on her leg, responded with a smile:
"Brother, my sister-in-law is only being nagging because she truly considers me family. I know that. But you, at home, don't bully your sister-in-law. Be more considerate of her."
"Haha, it's good enough that your sister-in-law doesn't bully me~"
Jiang Nian laughed heartily, as if he had heard a joke, and then said to his eldest nephew:
"Qingshan, you're getting married at the end of the month. Then you'll understand your uncle's situation~"
Aoyama blushed deeply. To be honest, he was both looking forward to and apprehensive about the approaching end of the month...
"Phew~"
A gust of wind blew by, feeling chilly; this wasn't good.
Jiang Nian, being experienced, estimated the distance upon seeing this and shouted loudly:
"Girls, hold on tight! It looks like it's going to rain, I'm going to drive faster!"
"Hey, big brother, make yourself at home. We're all settled in."
As soon as Jiang Yue heard that it was raining, she knew that the situation was not good.
He gestured for Qingshan to steady the basket of duck eggs and keep an eye on the two ducks.
Okay, now even if it rains, it won't be a big deal!
Rumble~
The thunder grew louder as it approached, and then the dark clouds gathered in the sky—all in the blink of an eye.
"Bang—"
A clap of thunder was followed by a flash of silver lightning, a fierce wind arose, and a sudden downpour began.
"Splash~"
In an instant, a light drizzle began to fall, covering the sky and the dust on the road changed color...
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
Jiang Yue sighed. Was she jinxing it?
"Giddy up!"
Jiang Nian was anxious, but his hand holding the reins was very steady.
The old buddy cooperated well, mooing a few times before running steadily.
"Gagaga~"
The two ducks were startled and tried to flap their wings, but they were tied up and couldn't move an inch.
Jiang Yue tried to find humor in her predicament. She was soaked to the bone, but instead of trying to hide, she held her daughter tightly in her arms and then loudly proclaimed:
"It seems that unforeseen events may occur. In the future, when you deliver things to town, you'll need to prepare an oilcloth in advance."
"Haha, you're right, sister. I'll remember that. I'll definitely bring it next time!"
Jiang Nian spat out a mouthful of rainwater, wiped his face, and wholeheartedly agreed.
Fortunately, the oxcart was fast and there were no dangers along the way. In the time it takes to burn half an incense stick, they arrived at Wujia Village.
"Brother, why don't you go home, change into some dry clothes, and have a bowl of ginger tea before you leave?"
Jiang Yue tried to persuade her to stay, saying, "Who knows how long this rain will last?"
Jiang Nian drove the oxcart to his sister's house, parked it, and then politely declined to let his niece and sister get off.
"No, no, your sister-in-law is timid and I'm worried about leaving her home alone. I can catch the train back very quickly, so I won't keep her."
Seeing that her brother's mind was made up, Jiang Yue could not force him to stay, and could only give him some advice:
"Brother, please drive carefully and be safe."
Jiang Nian waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to worry about him, then whipped his horse and returned the way he came...
"Da da da~"
"Giddy up!"
The rain lessened slightly, the lightning and thunder receded, and the sky was no longer dark.
Jiang Yue watched them leave from the doorway for a long time before finally leading her children inside.
Qingshan was soaking wet and feeling unwell, so he put the duck eggs and ducks under the eaves and ran back to his room to change his clothes.
Qingsong had only been selling cold noodles for a short while when he returned long ago. Seeing this, he said solicitously:
"Mother, you and my sister should go back to your room and change into dry clothes. My third brother and I have made some ginger soup, and we'll bring you a bowl later."
"Hey, Qingsong, you and Qingyun did a great job!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue looked approvingly at her second son, then pointed to the wet basket and the ducks, saying:
"Qingsong, take a basket of these duck eggs to your grandmother's house, and also take one of these ducks. Just say it's from my elder brother and sister-in-law when I go back to my parents' home."
"Okay~"
Qingsong readily agreed, winking at his younger siblings as if to say, "Now it's his turn!"
Qingyun: Naïve.
Qingyao: Second brother is a little dim-witted.
