Chapter 41 Changes

When Lin Zhuzhu thought about the taste of the leek box, she was still a little unsatisfied.

"That day, when a lady came to buy pig's trotters, she smelled the fragrance and asked me what I had made that tasted so delicious. I said it was a leek box, but she had never heard of it."

Lin Zhuzhu was talking about what happened two days ago after Jiang Zhiluo brought her a box of leeks.

"Sister Jiang, I think you can do some food business at the dock. As long as the food is delicious, you can make a lot of money every day."

After Lin Zhuzhu got in touch with Jiang Zhiluo, she felt that she liked Jiang Zhiluo very much and treated her as a sister.

I couldn't help but persuade her to start a small business.

Looking at the way she was wearing coarse linen clothes, we also knew that her family was from an ordinary family and she was reluctant to buy more meat every time. However, Lin Zhuzhu would drop something for her every time.

The most important thing was that Lin Zhuzhu thought that if Sister Jiang set up a food stall, she would be able to buy food.

She still wanted to eat that box of leeks.

Her father didn't have much of an appetite after he fell ill. That day, Sister Jiang gave her four boxes of leeks. When she took them home, both her parents praised them and said they were delicious.

Jiang Zhiluo thought about it and said, "I have thought about starting a food business and setting up a stall at the pier, but my family doesn't live here."

"You also know that I live in Donghe Village. It's inconvenient to carry things back and forth. It's easier than selling brown sugar. You only need to bring the things here."

Jiang Zhiluo sold brown sugar at the dock for a few days, and also observed the business of the food stalls. The kind of business that does well is really good.

For those who sell steamed buns, they charge three cents for the raw material and five cents for the meat filling. Even if they make hundreds of buns in one morning, they can make several taels of silver.

She thinks it saves time and money compared to brown sugar.

She made and boiled brown sugar in an afternoon, which probably only cost a few hundred cents a day.

Boiling brown sugar in a big pot takes too much time.

"What's the matter? The dock is right across from me. You can just leave your things at my house then. You can just come and pick them up in the morning."

"I also live here on weekdays."

In order to facilitate the butchery business, Lin Zhuzhu lived in the small courtyard at the back on weekdays.

Jiang Zhiluo did not reject Lin Zhuzhu's kindness and said with a smile: "I'll think about it carefully later."

After Jiang Zhiluo left the meat stall, she saw that the time was almost up, so she went to the school to ask for leave for Cui Hejin.

When Mr. Li learned that Cui Hejin was ill, he said very reasonably: "My lady, please feel free to let Mr. Cui have a good rest at home. It won't be too late to come back after he has rested."

Mr. Li looked at Cui Hejin's wife and sighed in his heart, this person really didn't look like a girl from the countryside.

Both his appearance, temperament and conversation are extraordinary.

When did the countryside become so crouching tiger, hidden dragon?



When Jiang Zhiluo came home with her backpack on her back, she was thinking about doing some business.

Making brown sugar, I worked so hard for seven or eight days and only earned four taels of silver.

Still a bit slow.

If Zhuang Xing'an hadn't trusted her medical skills and asked her to see a doctor, she wouldn't have taken some medicinal materials on the grounds of seeing a doctor.

Buying these medicinal materials individually would cost several taels of silver.

And it doesn't include those extremely precious medicinal materials.

If she wants to completely recuperate the bodies of Mrs. Cui and Cui Hejin, she will need a lot of money.

She also wants to buy land to grow food, vegetables and other things.

When Jiang Zhiluo returned home, it was already half morning.

Mrs. Cui was not at home at this time, and Cui Hejin was reading in the house.

The sun was just right at this time, Cui Hejin heard the sound of the door opening, turned around to look at Jiang Zhiluo, and felt a warm and jade-like sense of being out of the world.

Especially when the sunlight shines on him through the window lattice, it gives him a poetic and painting feeling of flowing light.

His eyebrows were gleaming with dazzling light due to the sunlight.

He looked back at her just because of the voice. He had the coldest expression on her face, but he could still feel focused and bewitched.

For just a moment, Jiang Zhiluo quickly averted her eyes to prevent herself from being seduced and imprisoned by his eyes.

"Are you feeling better?"

Cui Hejin calmed down his expression slightly, tightened the joints of his hand holding the book, and whispered: "Well, it's much better. Thank you very much for last night."

Jiang Zhiluo was surprised. Was he saying thank you to her?

I don't know if it was her imagination, but I felt that when Cui Hejin talked to her at this time, his voice was gentler than before, and it was no longer as quiet as frost and snow.

But Jiang Zhiluo will not be sentimental.

"You're welcome."

She should be nice to him and save him. This is what she once owed him.

It's just that he doesn't have those memories, he just doesn't know.

"Where has she gone?"

Jiang Zhiluo was a little worried when she didn't see Mrs. Cui when she entered the house.

"Mom went to the river to wash clothes."

The sun is just right today. I have been busy making brown sugar these past few days and have no time to do anything at home. It just so happened that they were not going to town this morning. Cui Hejin looked fine, so the old lady took her clothes and went to the river.

Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "I treated people today and earned ten taels of silver, as well as some medicinal materials."

"This is mother's medicine, this is your medicine, it can recuperate the body."

"Is there anything you want to buy?"

Jiang Zhiluo sat on a chair, took out ten taels of silver and looked at it.

Cui Hejin listened to Jiang Zhiluo's words and looked at the silver in her hand, with a slightly surprised look in her eyes.

"You can just keep the money. I don't have anything I want to buy for the time being."

Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said: "Well, I also went to the school to ask for leave for you. You can rest at home these days, and then go to the school when you feel better."

After a pause, Jiang Zhiluo added: "The family will be better, and the money will be more. You don't have to work so hard, but your health is still important."

I thought Cui Hejin wouldn't say anything, or would insist on something, but he just responded calmly: "Okay."

It gave her the illusion that Cui Hejin would listen to her arrangements.

After Jiang Zhiluo said a few words to Cui Hejin, she put down her things and went to the yard to look at the malt she had planted earlier.

When she saw that the malt had grown well, Jiang Zhiluo had a smile on her face, "It's time to make maltose."

Jiang Zhiluo thought that after making maltose, she would send some to her parents and younger siblings. They would be very happy.

Jiang Zhiluo pulled out all the malts and washed them in a basin.

When she was scooping water, she found that there was not much water in the tank, so Jiang Zhiluo took a pole in the yard and carried a wooden bucket to the village entrance to fetch water from the well.

The sun was just right at this time, and the children in the village were running and playing. Many grandfathers and ladies were holding horses and looking for a place to bask in the sun at the door.

There were also people driving ducks and geese into the river, and there were dogs barking.

Various sounds interweave into country tunes, which also gives people a sense of leisurely countryside.

When Jiang Zhiluo went to fetch water, she happened to meet Li Zheng's eldest son Zhou Zhaoxi who was also fetching water.

The young man's eyebrows are as handsome as the sun, his bronze skin has a healthy color, and his arms are full of muscle strength when lifting water.
