The third uncle saw that Jiang Wanbai was reluctant to mention the matter of the golden snake, a little strange, this kind of good thing, if it was put in someone else's house, not to mention a good celebration, he would be very happy, how to get to her, it was like being disgusted.

It's a little incomprehensible, but since Jiang Wanbai didn't want to mention it, he wasn't the kind of nosy person, so he talked about his son-in-law Wang Bao.

Wang Bao is now on an errand in the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong, saying that he is an errand boy, but in fact, he is just a person in charge of miscellaneous affairs, but he is a seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, so this Wang Bao still knows some people in the capital and can do some things.

The third uncle said very politely, saying that Jiang Wanbai entered the capital, just go to him, he will definitely help her.

Jiang Wanbai naturally thanked him again and again, asked Wang Bao's address, and mentioned the matter of borrowing an ox cart. From Tianjia Village to the capital, it is one or two hundred miles, and if you walk on two legs, you can't walk even if your legs are broken.

The third uncle agreed very simply, and said that if Jiang Wanbai was fine, she could stay in the capital for two more days and let her daughter Tian Lian take her around.

At this point, Jiang Wanbai didn't know what to say, but when she was leaving, the third uncle suddenly said, "Ma Xiaocui moved all her things away, and also followed Wen Hu to the house, and now, the house is Wen Hu's house." ”

After speaking, he looked at Jiang Wanbai with deep eyes, as if he wanted to see something from Jiang Wanbai's face.

However, he was destined to be disappointed, Jiang Wanbai was not Mrs. Jiang, she didn't have any nostalgia for that old mansion at all, she just asked a little suspiciously: "That Ma Xiaocui didn't make trouble?" ”

"What's there to make trouble, she didn't take care of it in the first place, from the beginning." The third uncle said with a calm face, and the beginning he was referring to naturally started with Ma Xiaocui coaxing Tian Lao Wu to rob the house.

The matter went back here, Jiang Wanbai didn't want to talk about it anymore, so she smiled and said, "I'll let the second child catch the car for a while." With that, she went home.

As soon as he returned home, Tian Lao Er greeted him, "Mother, the person who sold the jar today sent the jar set by our family, and it is there." As he spoke, he pointed under the eaves.

Jiang Wanbai followed his fingers and looked, but no, a bunch of fist-sized porcelain jars, or porcelain jars, were neatly stacked there, obviously.

"This jar is a little late, isn't it?" Jiang Wanbai said casually, she was still thinking about this two days ago, and it stands to reason that this jar should have been sent a long time ago.

"It was a little late, and the person who delivered the jar said that there was something wrong when the first batch was burned, and then it was burned in a hurry, and it was burned today. By the way, he said that in order to apologize, he gave us five more jars. Tian Lao Er followed behind Jiang Wanbai and explained.

Jiang Wanbai nodded, then reached out and picked up a jar and looked at it, the snow-white jar was painted with two green light bamboos, and next to it was the black and quaint word "Tian Ji".

The black characters, the white bottom, and the tender green bamboo, the three complement each other, giving people a feeling that is both fresh and heavy.

"This jar is quite good, next time I go to the market to sell shrimp paste, I will use this jar to fill the shrimp paste at home, and then take it to the market to sell." Jiang Wanbai commanded.

"This ......" Tian Lao Er was a little puzzled, "Mother, this jar costs three cents a piece, we use this jar to contain shrimp paste, but we still sell it at the original price, isn't that equivalent to earning three cents less per serving?" ”

"But in this way, there will be many people who remember our shrimp paste, and the next time they want to buy shrimp paste, they will definitely be the first to think of us, and they will think of 'Tian Ji'.

Also, you see that this jar is so beautiful, it is estimated that many people will keep it even after eating the shrimp paste. Does that mean that every time they see this jar in the future, they will think of our shrimp paste?

Therefore, maybe they didn't think of buying shrimp paste, but now they are buying it again. Think about it, if that's the case, how many jars do we buy if we sell an extra serving of shrimp paste? Jiang Wanbai told Tian Lao Er about the importance of advertising and branding.

Tian Lao Er is indeed very smart, he immediately understood what Jiang Wanbai meant, but soon, he hesitated a little, "But our shrimp paste is not worried about selling it at all now, isn't it ...... to do this?"

"That's because we don't do much now, but if we can make hundreds or thousands of catties a day in the future, will we still sell them just by relying on these people around us?"

Tian Laoer's eyes widened in surprise, "Mother, thousands of catties, you can't be joking, where did we get so many shrimps?" ”

"We don't have it at home, but that doesn't mean there aren't anywhere else. Do you know, second, in the future, our shrimp paste may be sold to the capital, all over the country, and even to foreign countries, by that time, all people will know that there is a thing called Zizhi sauce in this world, and the name of this Zizhi sauce is called 'Tian Ji'. ”

Jiang Wanbai said with some excitement, in modern times, she has always felt that the old godmother is a legend, and now, she also wants to try to create a legend, otherwise, wouldn't she have come to ancient times for nothing.

Tian Lao Er couldn't react at this time, he couldn't imagine the kind of scene described by Jiang Wanbai, how could a small shrimp paste be sold abroad, this was tantamount to a fantasy for him.

After Jiang Wanbai finished speaking, she also felt that she was a little longing now, her shrimp paste was now like a newborn child, she hadn't learned to walk yet, how could she expect to run, you know, the steps are too big, but it is easy to pull the egg.

"Alright, I'll say whatever I want. You just do what I say. Jiang Wanbai said.

Tian Lao Er still felt that this was relatively easy to accept, so he quickly nodded and agreed.

Early the next morning, Jiang Wanbai took Tian Lao Er and Wang to get on an ox cart and went straight to the capital.

They went to the capital this time, and there were quite a lot of things, so in addition to bringing the pot of Dafengsu, they also brought five cans of shrimp paste, a large bag of white flour cakes, a small screen embroidered by Tian Liu'er, and some other specialties for Wang Bao.

These things, plus the three of them, actually took up an ox cart to the full.

On the way, when they were hungry, they ate white flour cakes, and when they were thirsty, they went to the roadside houses to ask for water to drink, and braved the scorching sun and heat all the way until the evening, when they arrived in the capital.

When they arrived at the city gate, they were just in time for the officers and soldiers guarding the city to close the city gate, so they didn't care to look at the city gate, so they hurriedly drove the ox cart into the city gate, and then asked many people, all the way, and found Wang Bao's house when it was almost dark.

In fact, it is more said that it is a home, but it is a large miscellaneous courtyard. This large miscellaneous courtyard is inhabited by the descendants of the Hou Mansion, and the entire courtyard is only separated by a wall from the backyard of the Hou Mansion, which is also the property of the Hou Mansion, and it can be regarded as a kind of welfare for the subordinates to live in.

Jiang Wanbai and the others were just in time for Wang Bao to go out, and when they looked at each other, they were a little afraid to recognize each other, and in the end, Jiang Wanbai mentioned the third uncle, and the two sides became warm.

Wang Bao was a sturdy man in his thirties, and he didn't dislike Jiang Wanbai at all, on the contrary, he was very enthusiastic and immediately welcomed them in.

They took Jiang Wanbai to a slightly smaller courtyard, and before they entered the door, he shouted inside, "Damn, come out and see who is coming!" ”

As soon as his voice fell, the door curtain was lifted, and a woman about thirty years old, dressed in plain white clothes, walked out, and when the woman saw Jiang Wanbai and them, she didn't dare to recognize them for a while, "This is ......"

"It's the sister-in-law of the Tian family, you forgot, the last time we went back to my father-in-law's house, my sister-in-law also sent drunk shrimp to us to eat." Wang Bao hurriedly said.

Tian Lian then remembered who Jiang Wanbai was, and said with some embarrassment: "Look at my memory, isn't it my sister-in-law, come and sit in the house." ”

Jiang Wanbai said kind words while following her into the house, and by the way, she also looked at the decorations of the Wang family.

The furniture is complete, although it is not made of any precious wood, but it is carved and painted, and it is very exquisite, and it is not comparable to the countrymen at a glance.

There is a painting hanging on the wall, on which is painted the pot-bellied Maitreya Buddha, and two vases are placed under the painting, and a few branches of the moon are inserted in the vase, adding a bit of fragrance and elegance to the whole house.

"Is my sister-in-law here to play in the capital this time? If so, stay with me for a few days. Wang Bao also sat down with Jiang Wanbai, and then asked.

Jiang Wanbai listened to him and didn't hide it, so she said the purpose of her visit this time, and asked Wang Baozhi if anyone in this capital would buy that pot of Dafengsu.

Wang Bao had already seen the pot of flowers in Tian Lao's second-hand hand, originally he thought it was given to him by Jiang Wanbai, and it was a little strange how Jiang Wanbai would think of sending flowers to him, but now when he heard her say this, he understood what was going on, and looked at the pot of orchids carefully.

Wang Bao has been on an errand in the Hou Mansion for many years, and he has seen a lot of good things, so he really saw some ways when he took a closer look.

This flower is really good-looking, and it looks so familiar, Wang Baojue's he must have seen something similar somewhere, but where he saw it, he can't remember it.

Where is it? The answer was in his head, but the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't think of it, and Wang Bao couldn't help frowning.

Tian Lian watched from the side and pushed Wang Bao, "Isn't it time for you to be on duty tonight, if you don't go, will it be too late?" ”

Jiang Wanbai heard that Wang Bao still had something to do, and hurriedly said: "If you have something, you should be busy first, we are not in a hurry." ”

Wang Bao really couldn't think of it, so he stood up and smiled, and said with some complaints: "It's like this to be an errand for people, you have to listen to others for everything, and it's not up to anyone at all." However, although he said this, there was no disgust on his face, but a little complacent.

"You can't say that, how many people want to be on an errand in the Hou Mansion, but they can't do it." Jiang Wanbai said politely following Wang Bao's words.

The smile on Wang Bao's face was a little more real, "Steward Li is also on duty today, I can take this opportunity to ask him about this flower, he knows a lot of people and has seen a lot, he should know something."

Sister-in-law, you can rest here at night, and I will tell you the results tomorrow morning. ”

When Jiang Wanbai heard this, she was naturally very grateful, and pointed to the specialties she brought: "It's not worth anything, it's just a heart." By the way, there are still a few cans of Zizhi sauce here, and I don't know if you are used to eating it. ”

"The things that my sister-in-law brought are naturally delicious. Just like the drunken shrimp made by my sister-in-law last time, I ate it cutely! Even when I get home, I often do it, but unfortunately I can't make it taste like my sister-in-law. Wang Bao said with some regret.

"Since you love to eat, then I'll help you make it tomorrow, and by the way, I can also make a few dishes with purple mushroom sauce." Jiang Wanbai said.

"How's that going to work? My sister-in-law is a guest at my house, how can I trouble my sister-in-law so much. ”

"What's not a guest, if that's the case, how embarrassed will I be to come to your door next time."

Jiang Wanbai searched so nonsense, Wang Bao smiled, said no more, turned around and went out.

After he left, Tian Lian immediately got busy, busy cooking dinner for Jiang Wanbai and them, and busy preparing a place for them to live.

When it was ready, it was not too early, and everyone was ready to go to bed.

Jiang Wanbai drove a day's road in an ox cart, she was sundry and tired, almost as soon as she lay down, she fell asleep, and she had no dreams all night.

The next day, Jiang Wanbai remembered that she was going to cook for Wang Bao, and got up early in the morning, and as soon as she moved, Wang also got up immediately and waited for Jiang Wanbai to wash her face.

Jiang Wanbai is actually a little unaccustomed to Wang's this, but Wang's insistence is like this, and she can only do this.

After washing, Jiang Wanbai went out, but found that Tian Lian had gotten up earlier than her, and at this time she had already come back from shopping for vegetables and was ready to cook.

"You're up early." Jiang Wanbai said sincerely, usually at this time, she is still sleeping at home.

Tian Lian smiled: "His father often comes back at this hour, and I'm a little used to it." By the way, I didn't make my sister-in-law sleep, did you? ”

It turned out that this was the case, Jiang Wanbai quickly shook her head, and then made breakfast with Tian Lian.

Breakfast is actually nothing to eat, but the life of the Wang family is still much better than that of the Tian family, so Tian Lian boiled rice porridge and steamed steamed buns.

As for Jiang Wanbai, she looked at the vegetables Tian Lian bought, so she made a steamed egg with shrimp sauce, steamed pork ribs with shrimp sauce, and then made a shrimp paste burrito, and finally, she looked at the small shrimp in the basket next to her, and said with some hesitation: "Will it hurt your stomach if you eat drunk shrimp in the morning?"

"It's okay, his father didn't sleep much this night, he was about to eat something good and drink some wine, if my sister-in-law really did it, it would be too late for his father to be happy!" Tian Lian said with a smile.

Jiang Wanbai took those small shrimp and began to make drunken shrimp. And because the wine she used to make the drunk shrimp this time was Shaoxing daughter red, and the seasoning she used was much better than that at home, so she made this drunk shrimp, which was really wine into the shrimp, and the shrimp had a wine flavor, mellow and delicious.

"Sister-in-law's cooking is so delicious, I do the same thing as you, but I always feel that something is missing." After Tian Lian tasted the drunken shrimp made by Jiang Wanbai, she exclaimed.

This is the special feature of Chinese cuisine, even if you have a recipe and even know the amount of ingredients used in the seasoning, it is difficult for you to make a dish that tastes the same as everyone else, because there is also a problem of technique, habit, and heat.

Jiang Wanbai smiled, and just as she was about to say something, outside, Wang Bao led a man about forty years old and walked in.

The man was dressed in brown satin trims, which were very white and clean, and his figure was slightly fat, but he was normal at this age.

Wang Bao saw Jiang Wanbai and hurriedly introduced them to each other, this person was Steward Li of the Hou Mansion, and Jiang Wanbai was the one who wanted to sell flowers.

Jiang Wanbai's heart moved after hearing this, this Steward Li actually came in person, did he want to buy her flowers?
