"This is a good thing left by your grandmother, Sister Sakura, and it has been passed down for generations!"

Jiang Ying looked at the kitchen knife that Zhuang held in front of her, and her expression was a little complicated.

Zhuang's grandmother Jiang Ying's grandmother, Jiang Ying is known, is the founder of the Jiang family's cooking, although it is a female stream, but was the only female chef in the palace, but then I don't know why she offended the holy wrath and was expelled from the palace, and then, the people of Kyoto have the golden sign of "Yijiang Spring".

Speaking of why the grandmother who was the best in cooking would offend the holy wrath, the Jiang family vaguely circulated such a saying - the widowed grandmother was favored by the emperor back then, and the emperor wanted to forcibly occupy the people's women, but the grandmother did not bend her waist for power, and would rather die than obey, the emperor was helpless and disheartened, and after several repetitions, he finally decided to let go.

This statement is excellent, firstly, it clears the possibility that the grandmother is because of a mistake in the imperial diet, and secondly, it creates an image of a chaste thrifty woman.

But by chance, Jiang Ying saw a portrait of her grandmother who was enshrined in the ancestral hall when she was young. That square face, small eyes, wide mouth and buck teeth, plus an overly blessed figure - made Jiang Ying feel that this legend ...... Inevitably, the credibility is a little too low.

Jiang Ying's mind was staying at her grandmother, and the Zhuang family had already touted this kitchen knife to the sky.

After an obviously exaggerated compliment, Zhuang changed his expression to an almost solemn expression, and said solemnly: "Sister Ying, now I will replace the master and hand over this unique dark iron kitchen knife in the world to you, you must remember that this kitchen knife is here, you are-"

Jiang Ying's eyes suddenly widened, and she was terrified.

The next sentence is not ......

"The kitchen knife is dead-" Zhuang said this, his face hesitated a few times, and then he gritted his teeth and said: "If this kitchen knife is lost, the Jiang family's century-old foundation will also be lost...... So Sister Sakura, don't blame the nurse for my poisonous words, if this kitchen knife is really gone, let's ...... Sensei is alive! ”

Jiang Ying's eyes widened wider and rounder......

It's not a matter of fate, what is it?

She looked at the dark iron kitchen knife in front of her with a faint red light in the dark black with an almost pale face, and wanted to take it, but she didn't dare to take it.

Zhuang seemed to see through the retreat of this goods, and immediately forcibly stuffed the kitchen knife into Jiang Ying's hand with a gesture that could not be refused.

Jiang Ying held the heavy Xuantie kitchen knife with both hands, shamelessly ...... Trembling.

"This kitchen knife ......" Seeing that the little girl didn't plan to hide her panic at all, Zhuang comforted her: "This kitchen knife is very easy to cut vegetables." ”

Jiang Ying listened to this abrupt comfort, and had to force herself to nod.

In any case, a kitchen knife is indeed a rare good kitchen knife......

To be on the safe side, Jiang Ying put the kitchen knife firmly on the side of the pillow before going to bed.

After lying down, he felt that it was too dazzling, so he got up again and pulled a blanket and covered it.

After doing this, Jiang Yingfang blew out the bean lamp with peace of mind, put down the old blue bed tent with two patches, lay down on the slightly hard bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The young man in the moonlight in the courtyard next door saw that the lights were extinguished, and his eyes became more and more suspicious.

The woman would move in this year, he knew it.

But...... That little girl, but she had never seen it before!

What exactly is the business trip?

The young man was puzzled, and his dark blue eyes were like the ocean in the night, vast and deep.

The next day, Jiang Ying got up early in the morning as usual.

After a few months, the little girl finally got back to sleep.

After washing, I looked at the water in the basin, and I felt that my complexion was much better.

Walking into the courtyard, Jiang Ying found that the Zhuang family had gotten up earlier, and was wielding a hoe at the moment, digging the open space next to the stone road in the courtyard.

It had just rained, and the ground was soft, so it was effortless to dig.

Seeing Jiang Ying come out, Zhuang raised his head and grinned: "I plan to open up the land on both sides to grow vegetables while the weather is good, so that I can be self-sufficient!" ”

Jiang Ying nodded heavily, extremely agreeing.

She was also thinking about this idea yesterday, but she didn't expect Zhuang's to move faster.

When it comes to eating, it is natural to plan ahead.

Jiang Ying went into the kitchen and made a simple breakfast, and then took their only 100 yuan and followed the Zhuang family to the street to buy vegetables and daily necessities.

It happened to be the three-day market in Peach Blossom Town, and everything I wanted to buy was in my hands.

It's nothing more than simple condiments and brown rice noodles.

It's not that they don't sell thin flour and white rice, it's just that they ...... Money bags are not allowed.

After buying a few vegetable seeds, Jiang Ying checked the money bag, only to feel shy in the bag.

As a result, the luxury of buying pork was abandoned.

When the two of them returned home, it was already the middle of the day.

Passing by the door of Song's house, Jiang Ying glanced at the closed wooden door, and asked casually, "It's noon, why haven't Aunt Li and Chunyue come back yet?" ”

Zhuang, who was walking in front, came to the door of his house, and said while taking out the copper key to open the door: "I heard Sister-in-law Li say last day that she and Chunyue are working in the kitchen of Zhizhou Mansion, and the mansion will take care of a meal at noon, and they can only come back in the evening——"

Jiang Ying heard the envy in Zhuang's mouth.

After all, it was the Zhizhou Mansion and the Han family.

Although he is only a helper in the kitchen, it is no longer good for women, especially women who are no longer young, to find a difficult job.

Zhuang pushed the door open and walked in, sighing: "I originally thought if I could also find an errand in the Han Mansion, but I heard Sister-in-law Li say that there is no shortage of rough subordinates there right now...... Hey, we don't have any silver on us, and we don't have any land, the rice and noodles we bought today will last for ten and a half months at most, it's not a way to go on like this, and I'll go out tomorrow to ask, if there's any work I can do, I can do anything......"

Jiang Ying listened to Zhuang's chatter as always, but at this time there was something unpleasant in her heart.

Although this body is only thirteen years old, inside, she is no longer the second girl of the Jiang family who only knows how to sing poetry and play the piano and how to see Fang Xinyuan again, and does not ask about the suffering of the world.

Now she has to think about how to share Zhuang's worries.

Because she was thinking about this top issue related to her livelihood, Jiang Ying, who followed the Zhuang family into the courtyard, unconsciously put a serious look on her face, serious is a good thing, but on this still immature face, she looks a little old.

But it didn't take long for Miss Jiang to be calm anymore......

Because, when he entered the kitchen, Zhuang's felt that the kitchen knife was dull.

Therefore, I called Jiang Ying to get the ancestral black iron kitchen knife with the reputation of 'very good vegetable cutting'.

Then, Jiang Ying calmly went to her bedroom.

As a result, it was found that the kitchen knife next to the pillow was missing......
