At the same time, a carriage from the capital was rushing towards Jinping Town.
Inside the carriage, a graceful and elegant woman, wringing her hands nervously, once again asked the maid beside her, "Madam Qiao, did my son really invite the girl to dinner?"
Aunt Qiao nodded with a smile: "Yes, it is the news that the cousin is coming, there is no doubt about it."
"Yes, but that girl has a bad reputation for being unlucky in marriage. But my cousin said she is a capable woman."
The beautiful woman was silent for a moment, then burst out laughing: "A husband-killer? Hahaha, my son is a wife-killer, they are a perfect match."
After laughing, she suddenly fell silent, and asked nervously, "Is that girl still alive?"
Aunt Qiao: ....
She didn't know whether he was alive or not. Today, they received the news that the young master was inviting people to dinner, so they hurried back. A day has passed, and she thought... he is still alive.
When the beautiful woman saw that the nanny stopped talking, her beautiful mood suddenly became unhappy. She felt as if dark clouds were pressing down on her head and she became very nervous.
"If...if she really died, then this girl's life is not strong enough."
Aunt Qiao: .....
I guess there is no one in the entire Daliang Kingdom who is more unlucky than this young master.
Any girl who was engaged to a young master would either fall to death, choke to death, or drown while boating. Some girls would even break their legs while having a meal with a young master. If a girl was personally sent home by the young master, she would inexplicably become ill and die the next day.
Anyway, as long as a girl speaks to their young master, something will happen. So, all the girls in the capital are very afraid of seeing the young master, and his reputation has become notorious.
Jiang Kexin, who was being remembered by others, sneezed violently several times, and goose bumps covered her whole body.
She looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly. Was she going to catch a cold?
"Jiu'er, look at me and see if this is right."
Jiang Wu in the vegetable garden pointed at the built wall and asked her, although she didn't quite understand why a hollow wall was built in the vegetable garden.
Ke Xin withdrew her gaze and walked towards the vegetable garden. Seeing that the wall was well built, she said, "That's it. Then build the stove outside the vegetable garden so that it will be convenient for making fire in the future."
Jiang Wu frowned for a moment after hearing this, his mind still thinking about making a fire...
Seeing the thoughtful look in Bage's eyes, Kexin smiled and explained, "Light a fire in the stove, and then the heat will be transferred into the house through the fire wall. This will increase the temperature inside the house, and then the vegetables planted in the greenhouse will not be frozen."
After this explanation, Jiang Wu suddenly understood. Pointing to the bamboo his brothers had cut down from the mountain, he said, "You plan to use bamboo to make a frame, and then set it up in the vegetable patch. Then, just like with oil-paper umbrellas, you'll cover the bamboo frame with cotton paper and apply a layer of cooked tung oil on the outside. That way, even if it snows, you won't have to worry about it falling on the vegetable patch, right?"
Ke Xin gave him a thumbs up and said, "Mynah birds are mynah birds, very smart. However, the temperature difference between morning and night is large, so we need to cover the vegetable patch with a thin blanket."
Jiang Wu: "My sister is the smart one."
After the brother and sister praised each other, they immediately threw themselves into building the wall again. This time they built it even better and faster than before. Knowing that his younger sister was not joking, he was full of energy.
My brothers are all busy, and my sisters-in-law are also working overtime to clean the pig offal. However, the price of pig offal has risen sharply. It used to be ten cents a pair, but now it has increased by five cents per pair. My two sisters-in-law are very angry about this.
After inspecting the yard, Xiaojiu went into the kitchen, took out some spices from the space, mixed them in the right proportions, and started grinding them. This was a physical job.
The father went into the kitchen to get some water and found his daughter working hard at this strenuous task. He immediately cried out in distress, "You silly child, your second brother is the one who grinds the medicine, why are you still working like a fool?"
"Look, this little arm has become thicker."
After that, he asked her to stop: "Go and rest, I'll ask your second brother to do it."
No matter how Jiang Yongtian pulled her, Ke Xin sat on the stool without moving: "Dad, I'm not grinding medicine flour for my eldest brother, this is seasoning. I want to make all these things into flour and sell them to the restaurant later."
Jiang Yongtian: .....
I heard my father talk about selling seasonings when he came back, but he had only seen a pile of brown noodles in the past, but had never seen what the seasoning itself looked like. Today he finally saw the real thing.
It’s amazing just to look at it. Sichuan pepper, cinnamon, star anise, cloves, and dried ginger... Aren’t these all medicines? When did these things become seasonings?
Jiang Yongtian's eyes widened as he said nervously, "My son, these are all medicinal herbs. You can only eat them when you're sick. If you use this stuff as a seasoning for cooking, you'll have to pay the price."
Dad’s reaction is a bit too big.
"Dad, we've been eating it for several days, and we're still alive, right? And I learned this from the King of Hell. The King of Hell is so powerful, how could he possibly deceive me?"
Jiang Yongtian: .....
He was careless and forgot about the King of Hell. But he still felt it was very mysterious.
But seeing her grinding like this wasn't a good idea. How much could she produce in a day? So the father made a major decision: "From now on, you prepare the medicine...your mother and I will prepare it."
"Even the two of you won't be enough. The restaurant ordered a lot of seasonings at once. I'm thinking of going to the county town to buy some more, and then asking my uncle and brothers to make it for me."
Jiang Yongtian sighed softly: "This is all thanks to the size of our family. If you continue like this, it will definitely cause chaos at home."
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't dare to do this." Ke Xin said with a smile.
The Jiang family has been very busy recently. It took five days just to renovate the greenhouse. While the brothers were busy with the greenhouse, Jiang Yongtian had already prepared the woodshed and made a box that was one meter wide and half a meter deep as Jiuer said. As a result, he saw Xiaojiu taking out the seedlings from his house and starting to plant them.
Jiang Yongtian was watching the whole time, looking left, right, up, down, and sideways, but he had never seen what kind of vegetable seedlings these were. After pondering for a long time, he still didn't understand, so he asked her: "Jiu'er, what the hell is this!"
"This side has the Erjingtiao pepper, and this side has the Chaotian pepper. They're both used for cooking." Ke Xin finished her introductions, then whispered, "Our all-purpose ingredient, weighing three taels per pound, is made from this. So, Dad, these pepper seedlings in this room are quite valuable."
Jiang Yongtian took a breath and said, "Don't worry, Jiuer, this is the only room. From now on, no one except you and me can get close to this place."
This is not planting vegetables, this is clearly planting money, shining silver money.
