Chapter 120: Stab in the Heart
Hearing these words, the young man's face suddenly turned red and turned pale for a moment.
He lowered his head, not daring to look at others.
Someone next to them whispered: "The two daughters of the Yang family, Fan Cheng's family can't find the cause. They married into Yang Hong's family and followed Yang Hong's eldest daughter. How dare the son-in-law not feel sorry for his daughter-in-law? Don't ask anyone to kick them out."
"No, the Yang family has good conditions and plenty of land. Fan Cheng didn't have enough to eat before, but now he can naturally eat every meal."
"What's the use? Yang Chai is a cripple. He walks with a limp. He was disliked and had to withdraw from the engagement before..."
"But I heard that his mother-in-law is pregnant. If a son is born, the daughter and the son-in-law will also be kicked out."
The young man named Fan Cheng lowered his head in embarrassment.
He is the stepmother in the family. There are many brothers in the family and the conditions are not good. Since he is the eldest, he is allowed to marry into his wife's wife. His wife's family gave her father and mother five taels of silver.
His wife is very nice and even gave birth to a child for him.
Now he and his wife's home is his home.
Everyone was whispering, and some of the words were very touching.
Jiang Zhiluo knew that this was the thinking of this era.
People who get married are looked down upon.
She looked at the man whose head was too low to lift up, and could only say: "This little brother, you can go to the Cui family in Donghe Village to find us later."
Mrs. Cui also sighed: "Young man, don't care what others say."
Fan Cheng looked at Jiang Zhiluo and Mrs. Cui gratefully and nodded.
He didn't stay any longer and left in a hurry.
Mrs. Cui asked in a low voice: "Zhiluo, are you really going to sell the leek seeds to him?"
Mrs. Cui knew that Zhi Luo was kind-hearted, but if others knew how to grow leeks, wouldn't they be able to sell the leek boxes?
Jiang Zhiluo said: "Mom, I thought about it, we can't always be in the leek box business."
"It's better to sell leek seeds. The leeks we have in the field have been harvested for three crops, and we can keep the leek seeds to grow. Selling these leek seeds will also make money."
"Selling it in small packages can make a lot of money."
Mrs. Cui knew as soon as she heard this that Jiang Zhiluo had a plan in mind.
"You are still thoughtful."
Jiang Zhiluo said: "I haven't thought of this method before, but just now that person asked about leek seeds, I suddenly thought of this method."
Let everyone grow leeks, and Jiang Zhiluo will not lose anything.
Besides, after making chili con carne, she no longer planned to make chive boxes.
By mid-noon, there were more and more people.
Everyone buys a lot of leeks and pot helmets.
Especially at noon, many people will buy something to eat at the market to fill their stomachs before they finish shopping.
There were also several women from Donghe Village who came to the market, so they could see what the Cui family was doing.
"It turns out they are these two kinds of food. They smell delicious."
Only then did everyone understand why the Cui family had money to pay their wages.
This thing looks delicious.
Didn’t you see so many people buying it?
Business is really good.
Fortunately, Jiang Zhiluo made quite a lot of leek boxes and pot helmets.
After noon, the leek boxes and pot helmets that Jiang Zhiluo and Mrs. Cui made early in the morning were all fried and sold out.
Mrs. Cui said happily: "Zhiluo, I sold them all and made more than three thousand yuan."
More than three thousand Wen is equivalent to three taels of silver.
But I’m just a little tired and have done too much.
Jiang Zhiluo said: "Mom, just do this occasionally. Doing so much every day will make you tired."
There was no leisure at all. Jiang Zhiluo's hands felt a little sore, let alone Mrs. Cui.
"Yes, I have prepared quite a bit today."
Although they were a little tired, they were happy to have made money.
Not to mention them, just looking at the expressions of some of the vendors around them, they all have smiles on their faces.
There are many people going to the market in Yangliu Village. Even if each item makes a little profit, the more it sells, the more it will be earned.
After closing the stall, Mrs. Cui looked at the stall while Jiang Zhiluo went to buy some meat and cloth.
"Mom, I bought some cotton and went home to make clothes for you and Hejin."
Mrs. Cui stretched out her hand and gently touched the cotton cloth, sighing a little.
In the past, as the legitimate daughter of the Cui family and later as the princess of the Cui family, all she wore was silk and satin. Now when I touch the cotton with my hand, I feel it is very good.
"Cotton is so expensive, just buy some linen."
Jiang Zhiluo shook her head and said, "How about that? Cotton is comfortable to wear."
"Besides, now that we have money in hand, we still have to buy what we need to buy."
Jiang Zhiluo couldn't bear to let Cui Hejin wear coarse linen clothes anymore.
Even if Cui Hejin could wear coarse linen clothes and look dignified and dignified, he couldn't bear to let him continue to wear linen clothes.
Go home and take measurements for Cui Hejin and Mrs. Cui, and then you can take the time to make clothes.
…
In the next few days, Mrs. Cui and Cui Hejin went to the town to set up stalls selling pot helmets, earning more than one tael of silver every day.
Including the braised pig offal, the total is almost three taels of silver a day.
But they also have to pay the workers to build the houses, so they are reluctant to buy more things.
Only buy necessities.
Besides, the food is also better.
While busy doing business, Jiang Zhiluo also made the black bean sauce and continued to steam and dry the xuelihong.
Looking at the cooked tempeh, Jiang Zhiluo said happily: "Mom, now we can make chili meat sauce."
Jiang Zhiluo had been talking about making chili meat sauce before, but Mrs. Cui didn't quite understand.
Guang knew that Zhi Luo had prepared some condiments in advance.
"Can we do it now?"
Jiang Zhiluo said: "Well, everything is ready, we can make chili meat sauce."
When Mrs. Cui heard about the meat sauce that could be mixed with rice, she was very curious and eager to try it: "Mom, give you a piece."
Whatever Jiang Zhiluo wants to do, Mrs. Cui also likes to accompany Jiang Zhiluo to do it together.
Watching the delicious food being made step by step gives me an indescribable sense of accomplishment.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at Mrs. Cui's expectant look and said with a smile: "Mom, wash the black bean sauce twice and steam it in a pot for a while."
"good."
Mrs. Cui said and went to steam the tempeh.
Jiang Zhiluo started to cut the meat, and chopped the onions, ginger and garlic.
The shiitake mushrooms picked from the mountains are also cut into pieces.
The sesame seeds have been fried in advance, and the peanuts have been fried and crushed for later use.
After everything was done, Jiang Zhiluo took another pot, put oil in it, and prepared to fry.
Mrs. Cui said: "The black bean sauce is steamed, I will help burn the firewood here first."
Jiang Zhiluo nodded, then added the green onions cut into long sections and some spices and stir-fried until the aroma was released.
When it's almost done, take out the spices and set them aside, keeping the oil at the bottom of the pot.
The oil stir-fried in this way will be more fragrant with spices.
Mrs. Cui took a gentle breath, which was full of fragrance, "Just with this fragrance, the stir-fried vegetables and rice will be delicious."
Jiang Zhiluo thought of the taste of chili meat sauce and said: "Mom, if you make chili meat sauce, you can put it on stir-fried vegetables and rice, and it will be delicious even with steamed buns as a staple food."
Mrs. Cui looked at the chili peppers Jiang Zhiluo put aside and asked, "Isn't it very spicy?"
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and explained: "Mom, just make it slightly spicy so that your husband can eat it too."
She knew that Cui Hejin didn't like spicy food.
But he will eat the rice she cooks, seasoned with a slight spiciness.
