Chapter 22: Departure
When Lian'er heard her say this, she also knew in her heart that with Jiang Jiang's talent, she was indeed a talent in this small place.
What's more, as Jiang Jiang said, even if she stays here, it will be difficult for her to marry a good family and have a good way out.
Doesn't it say that a tree moves the dead, and a man moves the living? With her talent and beauty, she will definitely have extraordinary encounters outside.
Thinking of this layer, Lian'er no longer blocked it, but it was still difficult to give up, holding Jiang Jiang's hand, tears couldn't help but fall.
"Don't cry!" Jiang Jiang stretched out his hand to wipe her tears and said, "I'm not cutting off contact with you. β
"Girl, where are you going?" Jiang Yaozu asked.
"I'm going to go to the capital," Jiang Jiang said, "it's populated, business is prosperous, and there are many opportunities." β
"Then you can bring all this money with you to make a coil!" Jiang Yaozu pointed to the silver two on the table and said.
"You don't need this," Jiang Jiang waved his hand and said, "First, you still have to live, and second, I walk alone, and I must not bring too much money to attract people's attention."
In addition, I also earned more than 100 taels of silver by setting up a stall, and I took this money with me enough to go to Beijing.
You don't have to worry about me, I'll write back when I get to the capital and settle down.
Now that I've got you all in place, I have nothing to worry about.
You have to work together to live a good life, and if there is anything difficult, you can write to me and tell me. β
Lian'er knew that once Jiang Jiang made up her mind, it would be impossible to turn back, so she held back her tears and packed up for her.
In the end, he secretly stuffed some more silver taels into Jiang Jiang's baggage.
"By the way, I still have one more thing that I haven't finished before leaving, and I didn't mention it because you didn't heal from your injuries before." Jiang Jiang said to Lian'er: "We were able to successfully grasp the handle of the Hu family thanks to the help of those beggars before, and now that the matter is over, we should really thank them." β
"However, I have always kept this thing in my heart, even if you don't say it, I will repay them in the future." Lian'er said: "If you receive the grace of a little water, you should repay it as a spring, not to mention such a thing." But how can we repay them? β
"I thought about it, you and I should dress up as men, and go and thank them while it's dark!" Jiang Jiang said: "Although they are beggars, we must not be neglected because of their identity, and it is necessary to thank them in person." β
"That's right, there is also Mrs. Wen, what she has been helping us take care of, we can't forget her." Lian'er said.
"Naturally," Jiang Jiang said, "let's go to Mrs. Wen's house this afternoon, I bought food from Xi'an, and we will sit there for a pot of noodles, and call the beggars to have a lively meal, and then give them some money, but I think most of them will not accept it." β
"Whether they accept it or not, we will give this money." Lian'er said bluntly: "It's really not good, just turn this money into clothes, they wear tattered all day long, and they don't even have decent clothes." β
"You have a good idea, giving things is more decent than giving money, and you don't have to do much good, just coarse cloth, strong and durable, which is most to their liking." Jiang Jiang said.
So on this day, Lian'er Jiang Jiang went to the street and went to the ready-to-wear shop to buy a few coarse cloth clothes.
I bought some ingredients and took them to Granny Wen's house.
At dinner, I invited a few beggars to Granny Wen's house to eat together.
"We're wondering why we haven't seen you two all these days, who would have thought you would show up." Said a beggar named Lazy Cat.
"We went back to our hometown and only came back today." Jiang Jiang said: "I heard that the matter of the Jiang family is over, so I came to thank you." β
"Hey, what's the matter, we're idle left and right." The beggars didn't want to take credit at all: "But the woman surnamed Hu is really vicious, and she actually wants to kill her sister-in-law, and that Mother Zhao, she has done too many things to lose her conscience, God should have taken her back a long time ago!" β
"It's just that what is your relationship with the Jiang family?" A beggar asked curiously, "How do you know that they are going to harm someone?" β
"Well, the secret of heaven must not be revealed, please Haihan, in short, what we are doing is a good thing to save people, this day is beyond doubt. Everyone, please be happy and eat and drink in large quantities today! Jiang Jiang said.
"That's right, people don't want to say it, let's not ask us Since we are willing to do this, we believe you, but now it's boring to ask again!" The beggars said.
After thanking the beggars, the two of them went back to Jiang's house.
Jiang Jiang took advantage of the past few days to teach Lian'er a few ways to make fried noodles and side dishes.
He also told her: "To do a small business, you must first be honest." Be sure to make sure the ingredients are fresh and the taste is pure in order to keep repeat customers.
In addition, it is necessary to be flexible and seize the right business opportunities if they have them.
When the time comes, expand your store and add new dishes. It's just that we must keep the quality and retain the reputation.
The other must also know how to make money in harmony, and know how to give and take. Don't just focus on making money and lose people's hearts. β
Lian'er said: "I remember everything you said, but you still have to be careful on the road." If you have any difficulties, you can tell your family that you don't want to suffer alone. β
After everything was cleaned up, Jiang Jiang set his itinerary for the third day of the next lunar month.
Because he was going on the road early that morning, Jiang Jiang specially made a big table of dishes the night before.
The family sat down at the table to eat, and Jiang Yaozu said, "Sister, when will you cook these dishes?" You've never been in the kitchen before, and you've never had any of these dishes here. β
Jiang Jiang smiled and said, "I figured it out myself." β
She can't tell them the truth, her father Jiang Yijun in her previous life is a famous chef.
A few days later, Jiang Jiang set off.
There is a carriage in the county town that specializes in running long distances, and hiring a carriage to Ling Tian will only cost three taels of silver.
Jiang Jiang calculated the itinerary, not early or dark, it will take about half a month to get to the capital, if there is some delay on the road, twenty days should be about the same.
Although Lian'er and Jiang Yaozu repeatedly asked Jiang Jiang to bring a maid as a companion, Jiang Jiang refused.
She thought that after she arrived in the capital, she would start over, and she didn't want anyone around her to know her past, even though that past did not belong to her, but the hard-working Jiang Qi'er.
Jiang Jiang is not so naΓ―ve, and he doesn't think that the people in the capital will be extraordinarily tolerant of his life experience.
Jiang Jiang is still dressed as a woman and a man, and puts all her luggage in a rattan box.
Half of the deposit was paid in advance to the driver, and when he arrived in the capital, he paid the remaining half.
Although most of the road is official, there are still several mountain roads to pass through, and there are bandits and bandits in these places.
But generally speaking, as long as you don't stay early, don't be greedy for darkness, and pass by in groups with other passers-by.
