Chapter 16: Acquaintances
"Miss!"
Shopkeeper Sun didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup the owner drank from Jiang Li, so he accepted all her requests.
"Okay, Shopkeeper Sun, I've already decided."
Lu Yiyue waved her hand at Shopkeeper Sun, although Baiweiju's current situation is dangerous, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it may not be impossible to give it a go. Opportunity always comes with danger, and she thinks she can afford it!
Jiang Liang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly after listening to Lu Yiyue's request, and intuitively felt that this eldest lady was not simple.
"I wonder what contract the eldest lady wants to make?"
"I want Miss Jiang to promise that these dishes can only be sold to Baiweiju, and cannot be resold to others. And. From now on, Miss Jiang is not allowed to teach others these dishes, not even your family. In the future, if the girl has a new recipe to sell, she will give priority to selling it to us at the same price. ”
"As long as you can do it, Baiweiju will also meet all the conditions that Miss Jiang has prescribed before. I wonder if Miss Jiang is willing? ”
When Jiang Liang heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Lu Yiyue more, and then nodded slowly.
"I can guarantee that I will never teach anyone to cook these dishes from now on, but Miss Lu can make sure that the recipes will not be leaked?"
"I have my own way."
Today, the few remaining chefs in Baiwei Ju have received the favor of Lu Yiyue's father Lu Yi in her early years, and she is not afraid that these people will leak the recipes.
It can be said that she is now completely relying on the foundation left by her father to support her so far.
Jiang Liang looked at Lu Yiyue and saw that she could think of using the contract to restrict herself, and couldn't help but glance at the eldest lady.
"Yes, you can."
Seeing that the matter had been concluded, Shopkeeper Sun couldn't stop it even if he was reluctant, so he drew up a contract according to Lu Yiyue's intentions, and sent it to the two of them in duplicate.
It was only at this time that Jiang Li realized that people now use traditional Chinese characters, and he felt a little at ease. It seems that she doesn't have to be illiterate anymore.
"Miss Jiang can read?"
Lu Yiyue had been paying attention to Jiang Liang's every move, and seeing that she was watching the terms carefully, she couldn't help but ask.
After thinking about it carefully, she felt that Jiang Li's words and deeds after entering Baiweiju were indeed not like ordinary village girls, but they advanced and retreated in a measured manner, neither humble nor arrogant.
"I do recognize a few words." Jiang Liang did not deny it.
When Shopkeeper Sun heard this, his face couldn't help but become soothed, and his attitude towards Jiang Liang became a little better. Scholars are already expensive, not to mention that there are even fewer literate women.
He immediately regarded Jiang Liang as a rich lady in the middle of the family, and according to this guess, he felt that it was not strange that Jiang Liang knew how to cook these dishes.
The more wealthy and wealthy families are, the more they will have some private dishes, and it is estimated that the recipes sold by Jiang Li come from this.
Jiang Liang didn't know that this shopkeeper Sun had already made up a lot of brains, so after carefully reading the contract, he signed his name at the payment office.
Carefully putting the earned silver ticket in his arms, Jiang Liang led Jiang Yun, who was still stunned, out of Baiweiju.
She didn't expect to earn four hundred and fifty taels of silver so smoothly, and when she saw a ready-to-wear shop not far away, she simply pulled Jiang Yun in.
It is said that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, and without a few decent clothes, it is easy to be looked down upon by people who judge people by their appearance.
She didn't want her family to be wronged.
Inside, Jiang Liang pulled Jiang Yun to pick it up.
"Come on, don't save money for the eldest sister, buy whatever you like!"
Jiang Liang waved his hand very generously and motioned for the second sister to spend it casually.
She chose a water-red skirt, compared it in front of Jiang Yun, and took a light blue one, wanting to compare which color would match her sister's skin tone.
Feeling that the two pieces were similar, he turned his head directly and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, wrap these pieces for me." ”
When Jiang Yun heard this, she suddenly came back to her senses and looked at her eldest sister in disbelief.
"Sister, ready-to-wear is very expensive! We pulled a few pieces of cloth back and asked our mother to sew them for us. ”
She stretched out her hand to stop it, but was avoided by Jiang Li.
"Ah Yun, don't you listen to my sister? Isn't it okay for my sister to buy a few clothes for her sister? I'm going to be sad if you do that. ”
Of course, Jiang Li knew that Jiang Yun was distressed about money, but now it was different, she believed that life would only get better and better, and there was no need to wronged herself at all.
As she spoke, she deliberately showed a sad look, as if she was really about to cry, but she frightened Jiang Yun.
"Big sister, don't, don't cry......"
Jiang Yun was like a child who had done something wrong, and when she saw that Jiang Liang was about to cry, she panicked, and she didn't know how to comfort her.
Thinking that it has always been the eldest sister who has taken care of the family, and thinking about them as soon as she made a little money, she was both guilty and moved, and she couldn't help but have a sour nose and almost shed tears.
"Sister, don't cry, I want to cry if you cry. I bought it, can't I buy it all? ”
As soon as Jiang Liang saw that he had succeeded, he looked at Jiang Yun's reddened eyes, his heart softened, and he secretly blamed himself for acting too much.
"Okay, then you can pick a few, and if you want to buy and mother, pick a few too. Later, we will buy a new quilt and go back, now it is cold at night, and the quilt at home is not enough. ”
Now that the house has not been built, Jiang Liang does not want to buy it aggressively, lest he have no place to put it when he buys it. The top priority at the moment is to solve the basic problem of food and clothing first.
"Got it."
Jiang Yun nodded in agreement when she heard this, and after putting aside the psychological pressure, she also began to choose happily.
At this moment, a young man and a woman walked into the store.
The young man was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with dark skin, but he looked good. The girl who followed him was wearing a goose yellow gown, such a bright color should have been very flattering to the skin tone, but because her skin was slightly dark, it looked a little rustic at first glance.
The young man seemed reluctant to be followed by the girl, and there was still a helpless expression on his face before entering the door, and the moment he saw Jiang Li, his eyes lit up, and he seemed to be a little surprised.
The girl showed a disgusted expression when she saw Jiang Li, pursed her lips, and reached out to pull the sleeve of the young man's shirt.
Seeing the performance of these two people, Jiang Liang guessed in her heart that they should be acquaintances, but she didn't know who these two people were, so she smiled symbolically at them and said hello.
She secretly glanced at her sister Jiang Yun on the side.
Jiang Yun understood and shouted directly.
"Brother Lu." Jiang Yun smiled enthusiastically at the young man, paused, and then called out to the girl. "Sister Jade Cicada."
It can be seen that Jiang Yun doesn't seem to like this girl named Jade Cicada very much, but she is very polite and still behaves very respectfully.
"What a coincidence, I met you here, and you are also here to buy clothes?"
