Chapter 96 Good News(1/2)

Jiang Yanyi took out the two plates of folded ear roots in the food box and said, "What's wrong with folded ear roots? Folded ear roots are delicious!"

She went to the market this morning to buy some fresh vegetables. She found that a farmer set up a stall to sell folded ears dug out of the field. She immediately bought several large bundles. After returning to the store, she washed them and made a plate of cold dishes to try it out.

Eating the root of the folded ears will smell fishy, ​​but mix it with cornus sauce and pepper oil with salt, then drizzle it with soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and garlic water. It tastes quite crispy and tender and refreshing. The more you chew it, the more you can taste the fragrance of the folded ears.

She looked at Feng Shuo and said, "You will know if you try it."

Feng Shuo had to hold a chopstick under her expectant gaze. The moment he entered his mouth, his expression became a little stiff. When he chewed the fishy smell seemed to burst out from the crispy and tender rhizomes. Feng Shuo swallowed it whole and quickly took two mouthfuls of chicken soup to suppress the smell.

Jiang Yanyi knew when he saw his expression that he didn't like this dish. The audience of Cheergen was indeed polarized. Some people liked it, while others avoided it. Feng Shuo obviously belonged to the latter.

She worried, "Are you okay?"

It was the first time Feng Shuo had such a big reaction whenever she cooked the dishes. Feng Shuo was afraid of hurting her heart, so he gritted his teeth and said unconscience: "It's okay, it tastes pretty good."

Seeing Jiang Yan showing suspicion on his face, he once again stretched the wooden chopsticks into the plate to prove that what he said was not false, but he didn't have the courage to fold the ears again, but instead accurately picked up a piece of garlic that had been flattened.

The garlic cloves I ate before were sour and sweet, and the taste was very good.

The moment the teeth of this garlic... were biting, he realized something was wrong.

Just now, his face was still stiff when he ate the Folding Ear Gen, but now his whole face is almost green.

The spicy and garlic smell burst out in the mouth almost at the same time, and the smell rushed towards the Tianlinggu.

Feng Shuo could not figure out that something was wrong. Under Jiang Yanyi's exploring gaze, he had to swallow it as if nothing had happened and wanted to change the flavor with chicken soup, but the chicken soup was hot, which made the garlic taste more obvious in the mouth.

He picked up the kettle beside him and poured ten cups of warm tea into his mouth. He felt a little better in his mouth, but there seemed to be a pungent smell of garlic from the base of his tongue to his throat.

Jiang Yanyi was confused when she saw it. She didn't understand why Feng Shuo wanted to eat garlic with raw ingredients. Could it be that the sugar garlic she made yesterday misled him?

No matter how suspicious he was, Jiang Yanyi was not slow in his hand. He quickly picked up an orange from the fruit plate on the table and peeled it for him: "It would be better to eat an orange."

Feng Shuo took it and swallowed it whole. The orange was very sweet. The faint scent of orange suppressed the garlic that made him feel uncomfortable.

Jiang Yanyi peeled another one and handed it to him. Feng Shuo waved his hand and signaled not to do so. He coughed lowly and tried to remedy it: "I... was the first time I ate garlic yesterday."

The implication is that he has never eaten garlic before and does not know what garlic tastes.

Jiang Yanyi was both distressed and funny, and explained: "The garlic I had yesterday was sugar garlic. I had been marinated in the kimchi jar for nearly two months, so it didn't have much garlic flavor. Today, I used raw garlic with cold dishes, which had not been treated, so the flavor was stronger."

Feng Shuo glanced at Jiang Yanyi and found that there was a bit of teasing between her smiley eyebrows, but she no longer doubted the reason why he ate garlic raw.

He pretended to be angry and said, "Is it so funny?"

Jiang Yanyi shook her head in a flash, looked at him with a tense face, but she couldn't bear it until she broke the effort in three seconds and fell on the cushion.

Feng Shuo threatened: "Are you still laughing? Do you believe it or not, I will kiss you now?"

Eating raw garlic and kissing is a bit too devilish.

This threat was very effective. Jiang Yanyi quickly tightened his face, got up and sat up straight, and tried to turn his attention to the travel notes he had read.

But when she looked up inadvertently, she found that Feng Shuo was peeling oranges and eating them. She still broke her skills and smiled so hard that she leaned back and forth.

Feng Shuo glared at her, threw down the orange and made a gesture to catch her.

Jiang Yanyi was so scared that she hid all over the house. When Feng Shuo finally blocked her from the corner, she could only cover her mouth tightly and muttered: "No kisses are allowed, no kisses are allowed..."

Feng Shuo glanced at her from a high point, and rubbed her neatly combed her hair into a bird's nest, saying, "I owe it first."

In the next few days, the chefs in Fengfu became more unlucky. Their prince would return the garlic in the dishes and ask them to remake it.

The chef couldn't figure out why the prince who used to only choose vegetarian dishes suddenly didn't want to touch even dishes with garlic?

The blacksmith was acquitted. When he was released from prison, Okra wanted to pick him up. Jiang Yanyi rented a ox cart to take her over, and even cried when he saw the blacksmith Okra.

Uncle Okra is a thin old man. Because he has been working all year round, his back is hunched. Behind him is his son and daughter-in-law standing, and his daughter-in-law is holding a doll in his early two years old.

The body of Okra's aunt was wrapped in straw mats and placed on a cart. Her uncle's face was still a little painful, but her son and daughter-in-law were only impatient on her face.

When Uncle Okra came over, the blacksmith stepped forward and protected Okra behind him.

Her uncle was a little embarrassed. His yellow face was covered with wrinkles and gullies. He had a few gray beards on his chin. His hands, which were rough due to years of hard work, couldn't close their fingers when bowing.

He said to Jiang Yanyi, "Are you the Okra owner?"

Jiang Yanyi nodded, her attitude was not cold or warm, but she definitely couldn't get close to her.

Uncle Okra said: "Thank you for taking care of Okra, she is a child with a miserable life..."

Jiang Yanyi said coldly: "Since you decided to sell her, you don't have to say these words anymore."

Who are you disgusting?

Uncle Okra did not make any excuses, but his turbid old eyes seemed a little wet, and his face tried hard to squeeze out a smile: "I should thank you."

He turned his head to look at the blacksmith. The two of them didn't say anything. After a while, he fell on Okra.

Okra has a round face, because after arriving at Jiang Yanyi's shop, the food became better and the face became more round and the clothes on her body were decent. In comparison, their family seemed extremely down and down.

He said: "Uncle is sorry to you. It's okay for you to hate me, but I still hope that you can live a good life in the future."

After saying only a few words, he walked towards the cart with a staggering step. He pulled up the cart, hooked his back and hunched his waist, walked forward with his feet deep and shallow feet. His son pushed him behind him, and his daughter-in-law hugged his young son who was crying.

The cotton shoes that I had been wearing under my feet for countless years were soaked by snow, and the coldness followed the soles of my feet to my body. This road was as difficult as this life.

The cold wind blew the throat, and the uncle Okra coughed because of choking. He buried his head too low, and his tears poured into the snow, only a few small holes the size of beans were smashed, and they were soon stamped with footprints and wheel prints.

That year, the entire Daxuan was famine, and the family couldn't even be exposed. The daughter-in-law, who was eight months pregnant, was so thin that she was only skinny and boneless. After hearing her mother's words before she died, she came to Xizhou to join him. There was another mouth at home, and my wife never had a good face.

When his wife decided to sell okra, he knew about it, but on one side there was an empty rice jar and an imminent grandson, and on the other side there was a niece of his parents who had died. He could only pretend not to know.

In the famine, the wealthy families only had to drive away the maids, so how could they buy people? In addition, the okra was not good at using good brains, so no one wanted to sell it to others for hard labor. Fortunately, the okra looked so beautiful that it could only be sold to the flower building...

Okra looked at her uncle's family walking away in the snow. The original complaints and hatred seemed to be diluted by something, leaving only a kind of confusion that she didn't know.

Tears flowed out, and my heart felt astringent.

Since her parents died, she has no home after all. Even if there are relatives in the world, she will be just a passerby from now on.

The blacksmith said to her: "Don't cry."

Unexpectedly, this sentence made Okra cry like a child with her mouth tilted.

But now it’s not Jiang Yanyi who helps her to wipe her tears and comfort her.

Jiang Yanyi was also feeling a little moved when she saw that all the suffering of okra started from her aunt selling it to a brothel. It is often said that people die like a lamp that goes out, and no matter how much resentment it is, she should be eliminated. But her aunt sold okra, and the family could not live a personal life. Now she has lost her life. Maybe this is retribution.

As soon as Okra's aunt died, she sued her for abducting okra, but she had no evidence. In order to help Okra recover her good family, the blacksmith was busy for so long, and she also spent a lot of money to open up the relationship. After all, she was in vain.

On the way back, when Jiang Yanyi asked about his future plans, he said, "I still have some extra money on my hands. I rushed to renovate the house before the New Year and get married after the New Year. I will never feel wronged if I take more work in the future."

When making irons, they work hard to make money. Jiang Yanyi has made a lot of equipment from him. He knows that this money is not easy to make. And the older he gets, the less work he can do, after all, his physical strength cannot keep up.

Thinking that Bing Shao was too busy to do it alone in the noodle shop, Jiang Yanyi asked him: "If you don't want to make a blacksmith, I'm short of people. As long as you do things down-to-earth, you won't make less money than making a blacksmith."

The blacksmith also knew that it depends on the market. He was the most famous blacksmith in Xizhou City. He didn't earn much money. Each copper plate was smashed with thousands of hammers. In the past, one person was full and the whole family was not hungry. If he wanted to get married, the expenses would be high.

He is open-minded and never hides his words. He immediately said, "If Manager Jiang wants someone, I will do it in the future, but you also know that I am a stupid person and are afraid of messing up your business."

Jiang Yanyi said: "No."

If the blacksmith comes to her to do things, she can make more money and ensure his life with Okra in the future. Secondly, if he does anything wrong with Okra in the future, she can also help Okra directly vent her anger.

The blacksmith nodded and agreed. He said, "I still want to redeem the Okra contract for sale."

Okra is a crime, which is different from ordinary slaves. As long as the owner wants to go to the local government, it will be dismantled.

The crime must be pardoned by the emperor.

Jiang Yanyi said: "I just helped her store Okra's contract. I believe you really want to marry her now, but who can tell the future of things? And if you dare to bully her, I can take people away at any time."

She held Okra's hand: "I am her family."

The blacksmith said, "Shopkeeper Jiang has good intentions, and I thank you for Okra. But in the future she will be my first wife. I think she can save everything about her own. If you are not at ease with me, I can go to the government office to sign a contract for sale."

He would rather sell himself than help Okra get the contract to sell him back.

Jiang Yanyi nodded.

The ox cart turned around and went to the government office. After registering and signing the contract at the government office, the blacksmith said that it would take a few days to go back and transfer the iron shop, and then come to Jiang Yanyi to do things. Jiang Yanyi agreed.

When he got on the ox cart back to the antique soup shop again, Jiang Yanyi said to Okra: "Silly girl, there is only so much I can do for you."

Okra knew that the blacksmith's contract for selling her body was in Jiang Yanyi's hands, and it was for her good.

She said with red eyes: "Thank you Huahua."

Jiang Yanyi touched her head: "Why are you crying? Go back and embroider your beautiful wedding dress. In the near future, you will be the bride."

Perhaps as the New Year approaches, good news comes one after another. News comes from Chu Zi that the military camp asks for her prescription, Xizhou is bitter and cold, and sentries in the sentry tower often cannot eat hot food, and using instant noodles can solve this problem well.

Moreover, when marching urgently, ordinary soldiers can use it to temporarily cushion their stomachs, so the main combat troops naturally have to eat food that is hungry and full.

The prescription was sold for a total of 200 taels, but because the military camp was not fully equipped and could not make noodles, they had to distribute military rations to the soldiers in various posts, so they could only give the 5,000 taels of military supplies to Jiang Yanyi's noodle shop.

Now the noodle shop is very busy and has hired many new friends.

As Jiang Yanyi expected at the beginning, the instant noodles method could not be kept for long. Seeing such a huge market, other noodle shops also started to divide the cake.

Among them, the noodle shop under the name of Shopkeeper Xu of Laifu Restaurant is the most powerful, and he still follows the same situation. I heard that in order to win the business of Xizhou Daying, he even gave a heavy gift to a general, but unfortunately he did not respond.

In order to attract customers, Xu Ji noodle shop simply lowered the price and sold it. Jiang Yan's cheapest noodle cake in the pasta shop was sold for one penny at a piece, while he sold two penny three penny at a piece.
