Jiang Xin was very interested in what his sister said about learning a craft. He approached her and asked, "What else have you learned? Is there anything suitable for me?"
Ke Xin nodded innocently: "Yes, when it comes to farming, I think my eldest brother is the best. How about we become landlords in the future?"
Jiang Xin.....
He was so embarrassed that he wanted to pick his feet: "Sister, our family only has these two acres of land. I, your big brother, can finish farming it with my eyes closed. Besides, the annual grain tax paid on this land is barely enough for our family to eat. We really can't make much money from farming."
Ke Xin certainly understood the current situation. She patted her eldest brother on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "I've learned how to grow high-yield crops. I'll teach you later. By then, I'll make it so difficult for you to farm even with your eyes open. I'll let you experience what it's like to sleep on the crops."
Hearing this, Jiang Shan immediately jumped to Ke Xin's side and said, "I want to sleep on silver. Sister, please help me realize this wish."
Sleeping on silver?
Ke Xin was furious and said, "Brother, why don't you go find the King of Hell right now? I'll buy you some more gold ingots and I'm sure you'll be covered in them. Is that okay?"
The corners of Jiang Shan's grinning mouth froze. Why did this girl always talk about the King of Hell every other sentence to him?
The whole family was chatting and laughing, which made Ning Dani anxious. She couldn't help but move closer to Kexin and flatter her, "Sister, this meal tonight is really delicious. It will definitely be a big hit if we take it to town. Why don't we start tomorrow? I'll help you. I'm the fastest at doing business. I'll collect the money for you, and you can just focus on cooking."
Ke Xin grinned at her, then her face turned cold: "Sister-in-law, if you want to make money, it's not impossible. Then you can use the same amount of physical strength to earn it. If you want to take the money with nothing, the window will be sealed for you."
The pale words were spoken directly and clearly, and also revealed Ning Dani's little thoughts. She secretly curled her lips, turned back to the corner, and looked at Ke Xin with eyes like knives.
Being stared at, Ke Xin didn't care who the unfriendly look came from. If someone wanted to pick on her behind her back, then just come on, she would see how much she could not kill him.
No one took this little episode seriously. They all knew very well what kind of person Ning Dani was, and no one would let her accept the money.
The five members of the Jiang family gathered together, and Jiang Yongtian said, "Tomorrow, the two of you don't have to go to town to work. Stay and help your sister. Then, tidy up the tables and chairs at home, and then go to your uncle's house to borrow a cart. We'll get everything ready tomorrow, and start selling officially the day after tomorrow. The sooner we start, the sooner we can make money."
Jiang Xin and Jiang Shan, the brothers, had long wanted to do something big. Now that they had this opportunity, they couldn't wait and quickly responded, "Okay, Dad."
The next day.
As the sky just started to lighten in the east, the two brothers got up as if they had agreed on it. One of them took the copper coins to the town to buy pig offal, and the other went to his uncle's house to borrow a cart. They were very busy and had a lot of fun.
Ning Dani, who got up later, thought about it all night. Since she couldn't make money anymore, she would secretly learn cooking from Ke Xin. When she could do it herself, she would go out on her own. If the price was lower than theirs, she would make money.
So, she went to the kitchen to boil water, and brought the water for washing her face to Kexin early in the morning. Seeing her sister-in-law looked confused, she smiled and said, "Sister, what are you doing standing there? Wash your face quickly while the water is still warm."
"Sister-in-law, you don't come to my temple for no reason. You are so attentive, so you must have something to say. Just say it."
She is a straightforward person. Being straightforward is the best. She really doesn't have the patience to deal with intrigues. To be honest, if she were put in a palace fighting drama, she wouldn't survive more than one episode.
Seeing her straightforward question, Ning Dani stopped being shy and said, "Aren't you just thinking about making some money? Let me ask you, what is equivalent physical strength?"
So that was it. Ke Xin felt relieved and explained to her, "You work for me for a day, and the wages are fifteen cents a day, with food provided."
When Ning Dani heard that she was supposed to work for her, her anger rose. However, when she thought about secretly learning a skill, she suppressed her anger and agreed with a forced smile: "Okay, if there is anything that my sister-in-law doesn't do well, you will have to give her more guidance."
"certainly!"
After saying that, Ke Xin went to wash her face and brush her teeth.
Jiang Xin bought three sets of pig offal for thirty coins. Although it cost a bit more this time, it could be used to make a lot of dishes. After returning, he cleaned the intestines with vinegar and white flour according to Ke Xin's instructions. Ning Dani wanted to learn how to clean the large intestine, but Ke Xin told her to wash the basin instead.
It was almost lunchtime. Jiang Kexin made a dish of Fuqi Feipian (Five-Tank Lung Slices), put it in a basket, and handed it to her second brother: "Go to the restaurant in town and find a way to sell this dish. It won't be much, as long as you can sell it for ten taels of silver. I'll give you two taels when you come back."
Jiang Shan: ....
He couldn't help scratching his head with a confused look on his face. He stopped calling her "Sister" and just called her by her nickname: "Jiu'er, stop teasing your second brother. How can you sell a plate of scraps for ten taels of silver?"
What would a dog hate selling for ten taels of silver? Who would be so stupid and rich to buy it?
Ke Xin shrugged and said bluntly, "Only if you can accomplish what others can't do, you'll have the chance to sleep on money."
After that, he waved his hand at him and urged, "Hurry up and go."
Jiang Shan didn't understand what his little sister said, but he still walked out obediently. When he met his grandfather on the way to the village, he repeated to his grandfather what his little sister had just said.
"Master, do you think my little sister is stupid? Why don't you go and persuade Jiuer, how can this thing be sold?"
Jiang Wuli lifted the cloth on the basket and saw that it was the spicy cold dish. His eyes flashed and he smiled and patted Jiang Shan's shoulder: "You silly boy, your sister is training you to do business. Do as Jiuer says, and I guarantee you will gain more experience."
Jiang Shan was half-believing and half-doubting: "Sir, are you serious?"
Jiang Wuli waved at him without saying anything and went towards the home of the third brother Nagata. He was thinking back to what the master had said. Perhaps the future fate of the Jiang family would change because of Jiuer.
