Pig head meat sells very well in the town, and the price is the same as pork. The reason why it sells well is that it is also meat. The ancients disliked pig head meat, not because of taboos, but because the cooking techniques were not enough to remove the fishy smell of pig head meat.
It tastes bad, so few people buy it and eat it home.
The braised pork head meat at Liu's stall tastes soft and glutinous, and the skin has a long-lasting braised flavor, which makes people have endless aftertaste. Naturally, many people come to buy it.
Because of the limited quantity, those who don't have a lot of money can buy two or three taels and go back to try it out. Those who have a lot of money can only buy half a catty, leaving room for other families to buy. However, there are really not many rich families in the town.
Two days later, Tang Zangyue successfully met Shi Jingqiu, the legitimate daughter who had made a big splash at the flower banquet.
She looks older than Xue Yingxue, but her little face is still childish and has not grown. At least that's how it seems to Tang Zangyue.
She interviewed other people first, and finally it was Shi Jingqiu.
She only came up with a theme and asked the people who came for the interview to make temporary paintings. Because it only took a few hours to draw accessories that fit the theme, not to mention that there were less than ten people who came for the interview, and they could be done before dark.
End this ancient interview.
The themes of Tang Zang Yuechu were improvised and varied. Some were based on flowers and plants, and some were based on small animals. When she saw Shi Jingqiu, she thought of lilies.
She has a plain face without any embellishment, but it is still eye-catching. Both men and women are attracted by her cool and refreshing temperament.
"lily."
Shi Jingqiu frowned, paused, seemed to be thinking, and finally drew a lily-themed bracelet.
Tang Zangyue only glanced at her and knew that this girl was quite spiritual, but she was just stuck in her ancient status. Not only was her thinking not broad enough, but her vision was not broad enough either.
It was indeed inconvenient to travel in ancient times, not to mention that this person was a boudoir girl who never left the house. Even if the other person was not favored at home.
Tang Zangyue nodded, "Not bad."
Shi Jingqiu breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard Tang Zangyue say again: "In the design industry, the most taboo thing is plagiarism of original works. For this reason, our rules here are to come to the shop at four fixed hours every day, paint in the shop, and also
Is it possible to ensure that the work is original?"
Shi Jingqiu hesitated for a moment before answering: "Then I can only take this job after I get married in a few months."
Tang Zangyue was a little surprised, "Can your husband's family allow you to go out every day?"
The peasant women of the Chu State did not take this into account, but ladies and married women of large houses were never allowed to appear in public. At most, they were carried to inspect the shops and fields under their names.
Speaking of her husband's family, Shi Jingqiu's face lit up. She had the coquettishness of her daughter's family but lacked the aristocratic temperament, and said: "I can't find a good marriage, and my husband's family doesn't think I have no status in my natal family.
He agreed that I would continue to find work after I got married."
Tang Zangyue frowned slightly and said, "For the convenience of asking, what will your future husband's family do?"
"My fiancé is a scholar. His family is poor and he makes a living by farming."
"'Chuyu' is in the county. When you get married and go to the countryside, don't you have to leave before dawn?"
Shi Jingqiu quickly waved her hand, "No, no, no, their family has rented a small yard in the county for half a year in order to marry me. My fiancé earns some money by copying books every day to supplement the family income. If I can become a member of 'Chu Yu'
As a member, the rent issue can also be solved in the future. I just have to wait for him to be named on the gold list in three years..."
Realizing that she seemed to have said too much, Shi Jingqiu closed her mouth and waited for Tang Zangyue to reply.
Tang Zangyue: "There is no scientific examination this year?"
"Not old enough."
Tang Zangyue nodded and said: "Working in the shop, not only will you get a monthly salary, but you will also get a meal at noon. If you rent a yard closer, you can still have a nap at noon and be energetic in the afternoon.
Except for the accountant, everyone else in the shop is women, so you don’t have to worry about being gossiped about. And as a designer, a room in the backyard will be cleared for you to create.
The job of attracting customers will not fall on you."
In this way, Shi Jingqiu would avoid the embarrassment of running into an acquaintance.
Shi Jingqiu's eyes lit up and she responded to Tang Zangyue: "I will get married as soon as possible and move out of Shi's house."
Shi Jingqiu was tortured by her stepmother, and her brainless concubine was even held at gunpoint. Now, through "Chu Yu", Shi Jingqiu finally brought to light the scandalous matters in Shi's family, and her father, who had always ignored the family affairs, finally brought it to light.
The stepmother gave me a lesson.
The concubine's marriage was bad, and she...under the pressure from her stepmother, it was impossible for her to marry well.
Her fiancé's family was poor, but she liked his sincerity, while her stepmother liked her fiancé's family, which was poor. It was rare that after so many years, she and her stepmother hit it off.
As long as she is married, her mother's family has nothing to do with her.
By then, life will never be as difficult as it was at my parents' home.
Now that she has come to Border County, Tang Zangyue has no reason to go back empty-handed. She lets Uncle Zhao drive around in a carriage and stays there for a few days. She is not worried that Aunt Liu and the others will be tired from walking back to Jiuli Village. After all, she has been in town early.
I booked the Xue family's carriage for Aunt Liu and the others.
The county is much more prosperous than the backward towns and Jiuli Village.
Brothels, restaurants, and markets are all available.
The accountant "Chu Yu" hired to guide her pointed out a few restaurants and whispered: "The ones just now are the properties of Bai Dong's family. Except for those restaurants, other restaurants and restaurants have our shopkeeper Chu."
A shadow that provides food.”
"Really? Let's go and order some dishes from these restaurants and take care of their business."
The carriage stopped at the entrance of a restaurant. As soon as Tang Zangyue got off the carriage, a dark figure jumped to her feet.
"Old lady——! Give me some reward, I haven't eaten in almost half a month——"
"Hey! The little beggar popped up out of nowhere. If you want to beg, get away!"
The accountant was afraid that the little beggar might bump into the noble man, so he was about to kick him, but Tang Zangyue stopped him.
She said why the little beggar’s voice sounded so familiar.
As soon as her eyes met with the little beggar's, she was sure that this thin little body was undoubtedly the dead soldier Fifteen.
but.
Didn't she say before that it was enough to operate within the county? Why did this guy come to the county?
"Mrs. Tang?" Mr. Accountant asked suspiciously.
Tang Zangyue: "This little beggar... looks pretty with delicate features."
???
Tang Zangyue: "It just so happens that my eldest grandson is in need of a child bride."
other people:???
Fifteen:???This is different from the agreed script!
Tang Zangyue: "Sir, would you like to take someone to wash themselves up first, and then bring them to a private room in the restaurant?"
Mr. Accountant just feels like he is in a dream now.
Mrs. Tang, who cooperated with shopkeeper Chu, actually picked up a little beggar to be a child bride for her eldest grandson? With the recent profit of "Chu Yu", Mrs. Tang has already made a lot of money, right? Why find a little beggar?
What about being a daughter-in-law?
Xianggui thought so, but then recalled shopkeeper Chu's advice: "Doctor Tang never plays by common sense. Just do what she says and don't ask any questions."
Only then did the accountant restrain his curiosity and lead the way for the little beggar.
