Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

Chapter 173 A bad start

Jiang Huaixu didn't come to see Jiang Zhengmao, but Jiang Zhengmao also came to see her. She hadn't given the girl the money to buy vegetables, meat and eggs yet, so she didn't come to see her either. He was so busy all day long that he almost forgot to go.

It wasn't that Jiang Huaixu didn't want to look for it, but that she was busy herself and planned to settle the settlement together after the purchase tomorrow.

The two met together and decided to settle the matter together.

"You, after you buy something, tell your elder brother. Your elder brother keeps the accounts. The uncle knows that you have money, but brothers must also settle the accounts clearly. Only when the accounts are settled can there be no disputes."

Jiang Huaixu had long wanted to ask, "Uncle, why did you let my elder brother take care of the accounts?"

"What I'm asking is, it's all your business. If you don't let your family take care of it, who will take care of it? Is it possible that you want to take care of it yourself?"

Jiang Zhengmao took it for granted. He saw it true along the way. Every Erlang and Xunya are good, and they may not have any luck in the future. As long as he enjoys good things with his cousin and his family, he will be safe and sound, relying on the two families. Because of their relationship, the cousin will also give their family a hand.

Originally, Jiang Huaixu thought that Jiang Zhengmao would leave the money management to his cousin, but now it seems that she is judging a gentleman with a villain's heart.

"Uncle, do you think I've grown taller in the past two days?" Jiang Huaixu said something that didn't make sense.

"What?" Jiang Zhengmao looked at Jiang Huaixu, "He's still as tall as before."

Jiang Huaixu was heartbroken, but he still managed to finish the rest of his words: "In the past two days, I have been thinking hard about your business, and my image has become taller. So whoever likes to do accounting work, Otherwise, your niece will never grow taller."

Although he didn't quite understand what it meant, it didn't stop Jiang Zhengmao from understanding that Jiang Huaixu was boasting. He shook his head and said, "You, you, at least be humble."

After speaking, Jiang Zhengmao went to another house to check the situation.

In the evening, the tofu made by Qian Xiuzhu for the first time was freshly baked. Jiang Huaixu took a look and found that the tofu was a bit old due to the stone pressing it for too long.

Qian Xiuzhu didn't feel discouraged at all. She was very satisfied that she could do it like this for the first time.

Jiang Huaixu also said that older tofu is suitable for making braised tofu. It is fried first and then braised with minced meat and green onions. It is perfect for rice.

After carrying the recipe for braised tofu to Zheng Liniang, 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 eaten less these days? How does it look like he was reincarnated as a starving ghost? 】

[I only choose delicious ones to eat. Do you want to touch the unpalatable dumplings? You have so much money and yet you are so stingy, that's too much! 】

Jiang Huaixu pinched the back of Fu Tuan's neck and asked him to look at him, "I originally wanted to take you to the county inn tomorrow to try the food of this era, but since you say I'm stingy, then stop it." 】

She let go and was about to leave.

Fu Tuan's body was vigorous and he tapped his toes on the ground. After landing steadily, he followed Jiang Huaixu.

[Host, I was wrong~~]

In the evening, it was time for everyone to have a big pot meal again. The meal included soup made from wolf bones and two stir-fried dishes: braised tofu and spicy stir-fried Chinese cabbage. I also cooked thick old rice porridge.

Jiang Huaixu drank a large bowl of porridge along with the vegetables. When the wolf bone soup entered his stomach, his whole body felt warm.

After eating, she taught Jiang Wei a few words and then went to bed early.

The next morning, she yawned and stood by the carriage waiting for Jiang Miao, but Jiang Erlang came instead.

"Second brother, why are you here?"

"I will accompany you to the county seat, just in time to visit the county school in the county seat."

Jiang Huaixu responded cheerfully and got into the carriage with the blessing group.

Seeing the horse in front of her, she suddenly remembered that she had to sell the horse.

She called Jiang Erlang, "Second brother, please wait."

After getting off the carriage and finding his father, Jiang Huaixu asked about it and found out that his uncle would go to the county town to sell it in person in two days, so he didn't worry about it anymore.

Together with his second brother, he put the sack containing the machete and arrowheads on the carriage, and the two drove out of the yard. Just a few steps out of the yard, the carriage was stopped.

"Sister Axu, we have done a lot of embroidery work these days. Can you help us sell it in the county?" Li Qiaoer asked Jiang Huaixu with a baggage in his hand.

Jiang Huaixu reached out and took it, opened it and took a look. Both of them were good at embroidery and worked carefully. She thought about it, and an idea flashed in her mind.

But she was in a hurry to leave, so she didn't think about it and said to the two of them: "Sisters, just wait at home. I will sell it at a good price for you."

The two of them thanked each other gratefully.

After a bumpy journey, the brother and sister arrived at the county town. According to Jiang Huaixu's plan, they bought amomum villosum, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, and kaempferol for making five-spice powder at the drug store. Then they went to the iron shop to ask if they could melt the knife and arrowhead. , made into iron plates.

When the blacksmith saw the big knife, he looked at the brother and sister with a strange expression.

Jiang Erlang took a step forward and said: "Master, don't be surprised. We are new refugees to Beichuan County. On the way to escape, we encountered a fire by bandits and killed and injured all over the place, so we picked them up. Now that we have settled in Beichuan County, we are not extremely vicious people." people."

When he heard that the two of them were refugees, the blacksmith's expression softened a lot, but he still felt uneasy. "Refugees like you are really rare. If you encounter bandits, you won't even have time to hide. Instead, you'll rush forward."

"My uncle doesn't know that we accidentally saved a Juren who was born into a wealthy family. His family brought many guards. They were grateful for our life-saving grace and protected us all the way. The Juren settled in Linqing County. His surname was Lian. Just ask around and you'll find out." Jiang Huaixu said.

Now the blacksmith did not dare to delay any longer and asked the two what kind of iron plates and iron troughs they needed.

You can find out if there is a refugee named Lien in the next county. Moving this person out not only explains why a group of refugees picked up bandits' traps, but also shows that they have someone behind them who cannot be easily offended. .

Jiang Huaixu said in detail that he would only come to pick it up tomorrow, so he paid the money and left first.

After finishing the two things, the two stopped working non-stop. They found a noodle soup stall and sat down to eat a bowl of noodle soup for breakfast.

The vendors are honest and sincere, everyone can enjoy a bowl of noodle soup. After eating the noodle soup, your body will feel warm.

Asking Fu Tuan if he wanted to eat, Fu Tuan twisted his face and said, "What kind of clear soup and lack of water is worthy of this dumpling?" 】

Jiang Huaixu immediately gave it a burst of chestnuts, but it was neither painful nor itchy for Fu Tuan.

Jiang Erlang ate slowly, and while she was waiting, she chatted with the vendors.

After Jiang Erlang finished eating, Jiang Huaixu asked a lot about the rules of setting up stalls in the county market.

Before leaving, she sold the five-spice powder she had ground to the hawker. The hawker refused to buy it, so she kept some wrapped in cloth and said she would give it away.

The hawker was afraid that Jiang Huaixu would not give him money for the meal, so he refused to accept it. Jiang Huaixu took out his silver and paid for the soup noodles, and then the hawker accepted the five-spice powder.

She returned to her seat dejectedly and sat face to face with Jiang Erlang. "This Uncle Song has destroyed my confidence in selling five-spice powder."

It was too difficult for her to even rush to deliver her.
