Han Baichuan looked at the ring thoughtfully.

She suddenly felt cold, it turned out that there was not enough charcoal in the brazier, she sat up in her clothes, and shouted loudly: "Dong'er, add some charcoal for me." ”

Dong'er agreed, come over and add charcoal.

Jiang Cheng'er said strangely: "Why did the charcoal burn out so quickly this time?" ”

Dong'er said while adding charcoal: "Miss Jinruo took away so much silver, of course you have to save it, our Han family is really getting more and more shabby." ”

Han Baichuan said lightly: "It seems that our family must think of ways to make money." ”

Jiang Cheng'er thought about her chili sauce business, and it was time to open more branches, it was not enough in this small town, it was best to slowly expand to all parts of the country, and the location and flow of people were also very important...... Thinking about it, I fell asleep.

When I woke up in the morning, Han Baichuan was gone. After Jin Ruo left, the atmosphere at home was much calmer, at least there was no need to be on guard and calculate anything at all times.

The matter has finally come to an end, since coming to this world, she has been fighting openly and secretly with others, Jiang Cheng'er feels that she is a little tired, she only hopes that she can live a good life in the Han family in the future, and she does not pray for any great wealth. However, there is one more thing she has not yet completed, and she has to go there herself.

Deep in the narrow and cramped South Alley.

Jiang Cheng'er stopped in front of a black-lacquered door without any decoration, and a large brass lock hung from the door. The dark gray tiled roof, the gray steps, and a few bare branches stretched out.

She knocked on the door, but there was no response, and when she knocked again, a man's voice sounded: "Here it is, here it is!" ”

With a "squeak", a handsome man appeared in front of him, wearing a gray old gown.

The man didn't seem surprised by her presence: "Do you want tea or wine?" I'm afraid I don't have any good tea here......"

"Forget it if you don't, I don't drink." Although in modern times, sometimes there is a need to drink for entertainment, but she will take hangover medicine after drinking, and the wine that people here like is not beer, but strong liquor, how can she drink it.

Jiang Cheng'er followed him into the house, even the furniture was very simple, and the floor and walls were covered with shallow dust.

She took out five ingots of gold and placed them on the table: "This is your payment." ”

Qi Chu's expression was a little depressed, and he said with a wry smile: "I didn't complete the task, and I was known by that young lady earlier." ”

Originally, Jiang Cheng'er told him that the plan was to pretend to be a rich family, and after deceiving Jinruo to marry him, let her find out her family situation and choose to stay or leave by herself, he was a little unbearable, but his father and mother owed a lot of debts outside during his lifetime, and he had to become a ranger, taking some high-bounty tasks everywhere to repay, and no woman wanted to be with a man like him who was adrift and repaid his debts. Jiang Cheng'er's task of finding him really made him excited, not only could he get a lot of money, but he might also marry a beautiful wife......

The old adage is true that ill-gotten gains should not be greedily gained, so plans are doomed to failure.

Jiang Cheng'er shook her head: "There is no failure, and it is a success to let her be stimulated." ”

"Mrs. Han, is that Miss Jinruo really as vicious as you say? I don't think she looks like it......"

Jiang Cheng'er sighed, men were really superficial visual animals: "She came to you that day, what happened to you?" ”

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Qi Chu's face: "I was really shocked when she came to my house that day, she pressed step by step, and kept asking me about the situation at home, I couldn't resist it, so I had to tell it all, of course, I didn't say that it was Mrs. Han, you instructed me, only that I deliberately concealed my situation and went to Mrs. Jiang to ask her to kiss." ”

Jiang Cheng'er nodded, she also guessed what happened that day, presumably Jinruo guessed that Qi Chu was found by her, and then couldn't stand the truth, so she took revenge on her.

His eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a yellow satin sachet that Qi Chu was playing with: "Is this yours?" "The sachet doesn't fit in with a big man, and if it weren't a girl's object, it would be a little strange.

"This ......," Qi Chu's eyes wandered, "it was given to me by a girl." ”

Jiang Cheng'er smiled: "You found a woman you love so quickly?" That's good, don't worry about Jinruo, where is there no grass at the end of the world. ”

Qi Chu coughed lightly: "You also know this girl, it's Yan'er." ”

"Huh?" Jiang Cheng'er thought for two seconds before she remembered that it was Jinruo's maid, she really didn't have any impression, and after thinking about it, she understood, so it was.

"Yan'er is indeed a lively and lovely girl, Jin Ruo has a very high spirit, even if you are with her, you will not be happy." Although Han Jiajinruo excluded her everywhere, Yan'er didn't give her any face, Qi Churuo and Yan'er were together, but they were also a good match.

Qi Chu scratched his head: "Actually, I liked Yan'er more from the beginning, Miss Jinruo's temper made me unpredictable, if it wasn't for Mrs. Han's plan to send dolls, I'm afraid she wouldn't even agree to marry me, let alone the follow-up plan." ”

"Okay, I'll go back, but the Han family shouldn't welcome you, see you again, maybe I have something to ask you in the future." She turned to leave.

"Eh, wait!" Qi Chu shouted, she still forgot one thing, "Tianyi's business ......"

"Hey, if you don't say it, I'll forget!" Jiang Cheng'er suddenly realized, "Or I'll give it to you, as a congratulatory gift for you and Yan'er, and I will fund Third Sister Qian to set up a shop." ”

"That'...... I took it cheekily. Qi Chu felt a little surprised, running a shop is much better than wandering the rivers and lakes, he will have a home and a pair of children......

Jiang Cheng'er looked at him and smiled, it seems that the wishes of the ancients were very simple, to eat and drink enough, to have children, not to have so many thoughts and desires in modern times.

Jiang Cheng'er returned home and found that Han Baichuan had also returned, sitting on the bed and flipping through a book.

Seeing her walk in, he didn't look back: "Back?" Since Han Baichuan returned to normal, Jiang Cheng'er felt that the tone of his speech was always a bit untouchable, could this be his original personality? If that's the case, that's not good, this kind of person is too difficult to deal with, and she has also encountered this kind of person in modern times because of her father's company.

"Where have you been?" Han Baichuan glanced at her, and her outfit was no different from her usual shopping.

She's a little uncomfortable, and she has to ask when she goes out? "I'm going to find my sister."

Han Baichuan put down the book and looked at her: "I heard that you opened a sauce shop?" Selling chili sauce? ”

Jiang Cheng'er was taken aback, although it was not a secret that she was in business, the Han family didn't ask much about it before, how did Han Baichuan pay attention to this.

She settled down and replied, "Well, Third Sister Qian from the sauce shop is my good sister, and she usually takes care of it for me." ”

"Did you or Third Sister Qian invent the chili sauce? I remember not hearing of chili sauce a few years ago. ”

Jiang Cheng'er didn't expect Han Baichuan to pay so much attention to details! Fortunately, she had made up a reason in front of Jiang An before, and she said: "It is a specialty brought by a merchant in the West, and I think it tastes very good, so I bought a large number of goods to sell it." ”

"Really?" Han Baichuan said suspiciously, "You are a peasant girl, and your family background doesn't seem to be good before you marry into the Han family, so you can take out the money to do business?" ”

"I borrowed it. Hey, what book are you reading? She quickly diverted the subject.

"A book about farming, I have to go to the fields myself."

Jiang Cheng'er imagined what he looked like in the field and couldn't help laughing. "Why are you going to farm all of a sudden? Isn't there a permanent job? ”

Han Baichuan said lightly: "The family has dismissed a few maids and long-term workers, so I have to come in person, do you know how to cook?" Also go to the kitchen to help. ＂

Jiang Cheng'er was stunned when she heard this, she didn't expect that the Han family was already embarrassed to this point, too, after all, Jinruo took away a lot of money.

She said in a serious tone: "I still have a sum of money in my hand for business, if it is really difficult, I can still take it out, and I can still afford a few servants." ”

"No need, you can take it yourself. I, Han Baichuan, swore that I must rely on myself to revive the Han family. With that, he got up from the bed, came to the bookcase, picked up the brush and gestured on the book.

The contrast with the fool is too great, she is a little unaccustomed, but since he said so, she is also a member of the Han family, and it is nothing to help in the kitchen, and she also cooked during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

So he said, "What do you like to eat?" But don't be too hard, I can't do it. "Don't eat the red dots, she's really scared.

Han Baichuan looked at her, and a bright light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Do you know how to make braised pork? I want to eat this. ”

Braised pork? When she came here, she didn't seem to have eaten the dish of braised pork, it was a kind of home-cooked dish, so it shouldn't be difficult, so she agreed: "Okay, I'll try it, if it doesn't work, ask the cook." ”

When I came to the kitchen, I found that it was empty, and the maids and servants who usually helped were gone. Wouldn't it, really fire so many people?

Gritting her teeth, she tried to recall the cooking process of her uncle chef when she was a child, when she especially liked to sneak into the kitchen to watch him cook, and asked him the names of various spices.

She picked a piece of fine pork, cut it into equal pieces, washed it, put a spoonful of Huadiao, and soaked it for half an hour. Then take out the pork and drain it, pour oil into the iron pot, pour the pork into it, stir-fry until it is slightly yellow, and then add Sichuan pepper, grass fruit, star anise and ginger to stir-fry until fragrant. Put two more spoonfuls of Huadiao, stir-fry a few times, add soy sauce, and stir-fry well. Then pour boiling water until the meat is submerged, transfer to a casserole and simmer for two hours, add salt to taste. Simmer until the pork belly is crispy, put rock sugar on high heat to reduce the juice, and shake the pot constantly. Until the soup is evenly coated on top of the meat and has a bright red color.

She put the braised pork on a plate, and the cook returned. Seeing that she was stir-frying, the cook hurriedly snatched the spatula in her hand: "Why did the young lady cook herself?" Let me come, let me come, I just went to buy groceries and came back late. ”
