Chapter 108(1/2)

Jiang Yanyi knew that she now had the identity of a qualifying princess. If the new emperor sneaked into the city, he would definitely target her.

In order not to cause trouble for Feng Shuo, she stayed at home because she was sick for the next few days, and she didn't go to Ruyilou very much, and told Yang Xiu to come forward in everything.

Because Feng Shuo always doesn't eat on time, Jiang Yanyi prepares the meal every time it's time to eat, and then comes back after watching him finish eating.

Seeing that Bing Shao could stand alone in the noodle shop, Yang Xiu had been with her for so long, and he couldn't make any mistakes when he saw him in Ruyi Tower. Jiang Yanyi thought that when the funds returned, she still had to talk about the business of the porcelain kiln.

Although Feng Shuo means that the porcelain kiln business is not easy to do and cannot make money in the short term, how can you know if you don’t try it?

After all, in the world where she originally lived, porcelain is very popular in the Gentiles.

If Yang Xiu is willing to continue to work with her, Ruyi Tower will have to hire a shopkeeper to manage the daily trivial matters in the building; but if Yang Xiu wants to stay in Ruyi Tower, she will not force it. But Yang Xiu is reliable in doing things and is smart. No matter what, Jiang Yanyi will always feel more at ease when he leaves it to him.

When Chu Shubao and Chu Jiabao heard that Jiang Yanyi was ill, they took Chu Huibao, the youngest Chu family, to come to see her once.

"Everyone in the house has customized two new clothes for the New Year. This time I came here not only to see you, but my sister-in-law asked me to bring you and Yangui back to the size of the body, so that the embroidery shop would be made before the New Year." Chu Shubao held Chu Huibao's hand and refused to let her touch the walnut crisp on the plate, but said to Jiang Yanyi: "Grandma has caught a cold these days, so she specially asked you to wear it warmer."

Jiang Yanyi, who pretended to be sick, could not help feeling guilty, "I can avoid it. My grandmother is old, so I will ask her to pay more attention to her. When my cold gets better, I will go over to see her."

Chu Shubao said: "It will be big soon. Then you come back together with the words, stay there, and return here after the New Year."

She was not careful, and Chu Huibao had already picked up an orange on the fruit plate and peeled it and ate it.

Chu Shubao said with a headache: "Huibao, didn't you eat two strings of candied haws on the way?"

Chu Huibao looked at his sister, then at Jiang Yanyi, and his small round face was so innocent: "The candied haws don't care about their fullness."

Chu Shubao said: "You can keep some stomach and eat for a while."

Chu Huibao pinched another orange and refused to let go: "The oranges are all water, and they won't take up their stomachs after eating them."

The sisters were amused by her words.

Chu Jiabao scared her: "Huibao, you are so greedy, be careful not to meet a bad mother-in-law in the future and will not give you food."

When Chu Huibao heard this, he showed a look of fear and put the orange back into the fruit plate.

Jiang Yanyi said with a funny look: "Don't scare Huibao."

Chu Shubao said: "Ayi, don't spoil her like your second brother. She has two tooths in her mouth, and it's time for her to hurt."

Chu Huibao looked dissatisfied: "My lady said that those two teeth will still have new teeth if they fall out."

Chu Shubao pinched her fleshy face: "When you change your teeth, your teeth will be broken and you will never grow again."

Chu Huibao was guilty and scared, and was angry and made a face at his sister.

Chu Shubao held his forehead and said to Jiang Yanyi with a sad face: "Look, I'm worried about the Yanzhi business in Ruyi Tower, and I have to be angry with this little girl when I go home. I feel sad on my face."

It is said to be a spot, but it is actually a small black dot that you can't see clearly without looking carefully.

Jiang Yanyi stood up and said, "I made a jar of honey grapefruit tea myself. It is said that drinking it often can remove freckles. I'll make a cup for you to taste it."

That was when she bought a few grapefruits before, and she was greedy for her to eat.

When Chu Shubao heard that he could remove freckles, he felt energetic. "There is also this good thing, Ayi, come and take it to us."

Jiang Yanyi quickly brought a small porcelain jar, opened the oil paper in the jar, and instantly a sweet and citric aroma came out.

Several sisters gathered around instantly.

In the white porcelain jar, the golden syrup is as sticky as honey, and the thin filamented grapefruit skin inside is golden and transparent, which makes people's appetite increase just by looking at it.

Jiang Yanyi used a small mud stove in the room to burn a pot of boiling water, poured it into a small white porcelain bowl with gold edges, then mixed it with cold water to reduce the temperature of the water, dig a spoonful of honey grapefruit syrup and put it in warm water to melt it.

The reason why warm water is used is because high temperatures can destroy the nutrients in honey.

As the syrup melted, a small bowl of tea had turned into a beautiful light golden color.

Chu Huibao took it first and took a sip. She smacked her lips, but it seemed that she didn't taste it clearly. She buried her head and drank a bowl of water before saying, "It's sweet, but a little sour, delicious."

She looked at the syrup left in the porcelain jar and asked Jiang Yanyi: "Second sister, can this be eaten directly as a snack?"

Jiang Yanyi was embarrassed to say that she often dig this as jam. She was so excited that she was baking bread and sliced ​​it with sauce and smeared it.

She coughed lightly and said, "Yes, yes, but you have tooths and can't eat them."

Chu Huibao looked depressed in an instant.

Chu Shubao and Chu Jiabao both exclaimed surprise after drinking honey-sleeved tea.

Chu Shubao said: "Ayi, why don't you sell this tea in Ruyi Building?"

Jiang Yanyi was confused: "Pomelo is only available in autumn and winter, and honey is not cheap."

After she said this, Chu Shubao understood.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Ayi, I will sell you 30% of the dividends of rouge. Teach me this recipe. I will look for the chef in the house to make it. I will see if it can be sold among girls with prominent identities. Do you think it is successful?"

Jiang Yanyi smiled and said, "If you want to use the prescription, just don't want the dividend."

Chu Shubao is rare to be serious: "This is not possible. Thanks to your many customers in Ruyi Building, my rouge business can continue. I was sorry for you before, only collecting rent and not paying dividends. This time, I have to accept it no matter what, otherwise... Otherwise I won't go to Ruyi Building to sell rouge."

Yanzhi was all managed by her and Chu Jiabao. Jiang Yanyi couldn't bear to ask them for so many dividends, so she said helplessly: "One achievement is enough."

Chu Shubao refused to say anything, and Chu Jiabao also helped him and finally took a step back. In addition to the rent, Jiang Yanyi used 20% of their dividends and wrote the recipe for honey-sleeved tea to Chu Shubao.

The honey-sleeved tea is simple. After washing the grapefruit, peel off the yellow-green skin with a knife. Try to be thin and do not scrape the white flesh, otherwise there will be a bitter taste.

This step tests the skill of the knife and patience. Cut the cut skin into thin strips. Jiang Yanyi has good skill in the knife. If you want to show off your skills, you can cut it as thin as your hair.

Sleeve skin is a type of medicinal herb that can eliminate phlegm and relieve cough. Soak the sleeve skin in water to drink it, which has the same effect.

Peel and core the pulp of the grapefruit, mash it and put it in a pot with the shredded sleeve peel, add sugar and boil it in clean water, boil over high heat, and cook it over low heat.

When the fruit pulp becomes viscous, it is necessary to stir it at all times. If it is pasted, the sleeve tea made will be bitter. When the orange peel is cooked into a translucent golden color, it will be turned off.

Wait until the pulp is cool, add honey and mix well. The honey is naturally anti-corrosive, and the pulp made can be stored for a long time. However, for the sake of safety, Jiang Yanyi does not make much of it every time. She soaks it in water and eats it as a snack. A small porcelain jar can be solved in a few days.

The third sister of the Chu family had a happy meal here, and in the afternoon, she went back with the honey-sleeved tea recipe.

Although the Chu family would make two new sets of clothes for her and Chu Yangui, Jiang Yanyi still asked Mrs. Chen from the ready-to-wear shop to make two clothes for Chu Yangui. What the Chu family did was the care of Mrs. Chu for their siblings, and what she asked her to do was the wish she gave to her younger brother.

The materials and linings are selected by Jiang Yanyi themselves, with Hang silk fabrics and duck down as the base lining.

The guys from the noodle shop and Ruyilou have to make them new clothes during the Chinese New Year. Ordinary fabrics and cotton wool cost a lot of money. This kind of small favor during the holidays can not only enhance the loyalty of the guys, but also make them feel a sense of pride. After all, other families do not have such treatment.

It is not that easy for other restaurants or noodle shops to poach people, and some ordinary people even take pride in being a mate in Ruyi Building.

Mrs. Chen, who is the ready-to-wear shop next door, often joked with Jiang Yanyi: "I can only barely do business by making clothes for the guys in your shop."

When Jiang Yanyi is idle, he will go to the next door to learn embroidery from Mrs. Chen, just to consider it to be self-cultivation.

She was like an embroiderer. The set of knee pads that Feng Shuo made for him last time on her birthday had cost her a lot of effort. Unfortunately, the finished product was not satisfactory. In her selfish thought, Jiang Yanyi still wanted to wait until her embroidery work passed and make Feng Shuo a piece of clothes.

What made her laugh and cry was that He Xingniang, who was on the street jewelry shop, heard that Jiang Yanyi’s Ruyi Building’s business was booming, and the shops who rushed to rent stalls at her place made a lot of money. She also became interested. She was the one who had never dealt with Jiang Yanyi in the past. Seeing that Jiang Yanyi was getting close to Mrs. Chen, she looked shy and squeezed her into the embroidery band with an embroidery band to try to make a conversation.

Among the ten sentences she said, nine of them flatter Jiang Yan's meaning, and one sentence was to belittle Laifu Restaurant.

"The Laifu Antique Soup Store is thicker than the city wall. So what if you learn from you? Your Antique Soup Store now has a big restaurant, and there are fewer and fewer customers to his side." He Xingniang said, her tone was like singing, and she was quite ups and downs.

"I want me to tell you, Manager Jiang... Ouch, look at my mouth. Now I am Manager Chu. In the near future, I will be the Princess of Liaonan. You are the one who can make a lot of money. Ouch, when I saw you at the first time, I felt that you were extraordinary and thought to myself, which family can raise such a handsome girl..."

Jiang Yanyi seriously suspected that there was something wrong with her memory. This was how mean and how mean it was when Xing Niang sarcastically said. Now she was like a silly person, and she praised her so much that there was nothing in the sky and nothing on the earth.

She looked at Mrs. Chen, who pinched the needle and thread, quickly shuttled the material, shook his head, and smiled helplessly at Jiang Yanyi.

He Xingniang talked for a long time, and her throat was almost smoking. However, Jiang Yanyi just ignored her and pretended not to see her.

He Xingniang was also able to bend and stretch. Jiang Yanyi ignored her for so long, and she was not angry. She couldn't even see her embarrassed: "Shopkeeper Chu, please give me a message. I want to rent a place to sell jewelry in your Ruyi Building."

Jiang Yanyi politely refused: "It's been rented out."

"Hey, why did you rent it all out? Ruyi clearly came downstairs to post a rent notice..." He Xingniang wanted to continue talking, but Okra came to her house: "Hua...the owner."

Aunt Guo told Okra that she had to call Jiang Yanyi's boss or shopkeeper outside, and Okra has now changed her words.

Seeing Okra's nervous and wanting to speak, Jiang Yanyi knew that she must have something to say to her, so she said goodbye to Mrs. Chen. After she got up, He Xingniang wanted to chase her and talk about the rent. Jiang Yanyi was polite and distant and said, "If you have something at home, I will talk to Mrs. He next day."

One sentence blocked everything He Xingniang said, but I don’t know when this “next day” will be waiting.

Jiang Yanyi brought okra back to the shop.

Okra had a basket of vegetables in her arms, and it was obvious that she was going out to buy vegetables.

Jiang Yanyi asked her: "What's wrong."

Okra pinched the corner of her clothes, looked at Jiang Yanyi nervously, and asked, "Huahua, you said before that my salary is all here, how much is it now?"

The monthly salary of ordinary chefs in Xizhou is 500 yuan. Jiang Yanyi calculated the money for okra from the beginning, but now it has only been more than three months.

She said: "I used to sell antique soup and I calculated the one-month money for you. Now you are watching the shop selling noodles and kanto cooked, and I calculated the one-month money for you. By the end of this month, you will have four or five cents for you. "

"What? Are you going to buy a new house? Silly girl, if you don't have enough money for such a big deal, I'll prepare a lot of money to add a box to your dowry."

Jiang Yanyi cares about Okra's food and accommodation, and he never stopped snacking. Okra has never asked about Jiang Yanyi's wages. She suddenly asked today. The only thing Jiang Yanyi could think of was that she and Blacksmith Luo wanted to buy a new house.

Okra shook her head: "It's not about buying a house."

She seemed to be afraid that Jiang Yanyi would be cruel to her, so she hesitated for a while before saying, "On the way to buy vegetables, I met a girl who sold her body to bury her father. I...I want to buy her."

As soon as Okra said this, Jiang Yanyi understood that Okra was kind-hearted because when her parents died, they didn’t even have a straw mat, not to mention the coffin. This was always a thorn in her heart, so she easily felt it when she saw someone selling her body to bury her father.

Jiang Yanyi asked her: "Can they be a liar in the world?"
