Chapter 163: Forgetfulness

Yun Niang stepped on the door of the red glow.

The father and daughter of the Jiang family were sitting at the stone table, skewering the vegetables and pig offal that Jiang Han bought from the tile market, and skewering them with the bamboo skewers that Father Jiang had cut and washed.

The ingredients and bones for boiling the spicy soup base, Jiang Han bought them back.

These dozen or so things cost her a little 200 yuan!

Some of the rock sugar and spices are expensive, especially the nearly ten kinds of spices are considered medicinal herbs, and the grocery stores have not yet sold them.

For this reason, she also went to Qiancaotang.

Because of this, Jiang Han, who is self-aware of her cooking skills, didn't dare to mess around casually, she only boiled the pork barrel bones first, and the rest planned to wait for Yun Niang to come home and make it together.

As soon as Yun Niang entered the door, she happily told Jiang Han that on the way back, she heard that the trading on the dock had resumed again, but she heard Jiang Han tell her that they would soon have a free fixed stall in the tile market.

For a while, Yun Niang, who was a little stupid by the impact of two happy events, Mu Ran asked: "I just agreed to the shopkeeper of the embroidery shop today and go to his embroidery room to be a junior embroiderer...... If you go to Washi to set up a stall, do you still have time to be an embroiderer? ”

"Of course I'm not free!" Jiang Han was also a little stunned.

"So, then I'm not going to the embroidery shop? In this case, why would the shopkeeper think that I was not honest? ”

Seeing that she said such stupid things, Jiang Han, who wanted to persuade her, shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Then, it's up to you, if you want to abide by Xinnuo to be an embroiderer, it doesn't matter, then I will find someone to help my father!" ”

She only said in the afternoon that she wanted to be a new person, but she couldn't use the same trick to force people again in the evening.

Besides, through this morning's incident, she also realized that there were a lot of idle people in Luoxia Town, and it was really not good, so she asked Aunt Liu or Zhou Banxian to help her find a reliable person.

She was thinking a little too much.

She just wanted to change, but Yun Niang was no longer the eldest lady she was before.

It's just that the amount of information is too large for a while, Yun Niang is a little stunned, and then she will say the words that she is thinking about in her head.

As soon as Jiang Han's words were finished, Yun Niang stroked her forehead and laughed at herself: "I will definitely choose to set up a stall, it is my own business!" She circled her hands and gave Jiang Han a firm hug, "Okay, let the uncle string these by himself." Didn't my sister say that she was waiting for me to adjust the bottom of the pot together? I'll go wash first, and we'll start later! You are full of confidence in the spicy skewers, I also told my aunt today, I will invite them to come and try it tonight, and Mr. Xu will also invite you, we have to do it, don't even eat it for your own family! ”

As she spoke, she called Xiao An and asked him to go to the two houses to invite someone first.

The bone broth on the stove has been boiling for more than an hour, and although the soup is not yet at its best, it is already very strong.

The sisters were busy in the kitchen for a pillar of incense, and made two pots of soup, one pot was basically wasted, and the other pot was barely qualified.

Jiang Han wiped the man and sighed: "This thing is much more difficult than I imagined!" Sure enough, you only know the difficulty if you do it, and it seems that my budget for this preliminary experiment will be doubled! ”

"Hehe, how much does that have to be? You can't have spent half of your jar of copper coins, right? ”

"Isn't it just a pot or two of soup, and it's not gold, how can it be so expensive! I originally planned that 100 wen would be about the same, but today it cost 200 wen. According to today's situation, two hundred materials can make at least three pots of soup, and we may have to try two or three more times before we officially leave the stall - anyway, try to keep it within half a tael of silver! Anyway, my injuries are almost healed, and the soup is just enough to eat until tomorrow, leaving aside my father's medicine money, we still have a little more than a tael of money left, and now the dock can be bought and sold again, and there is still a daily income of buns - I can still afford half a tael of silver! Jiang Han thought about it and said optimistically.

"These two pots of soup were not very successful, and it may have something to do with the fact that the bone broth was not boiled well, after all, it has only been two hours now. It shouldn't taste bad to use this second pot tonight, wait for this bone broth to boil all night, and let's continue to try it after we come back from the dock tomorrow morning! ”

The two sisters carried the large clay basin out of the kitchen and went straight to the stone table, where the movable stove that Father Jiang had made was placing on the table, and a fire had been lit.

This large clay pot is to be used for stalls in the future.

According to the modern practice, you should choose a big iron pot, but unfortunately the big iron pot here is heavy and expensive, Jiang Han thought that the clay pot soup tasted better, so he simply spent fifty wen to choose a large clay pot of medium and high quality.

After the iron partition that was placed in the basin to divide the area was placed in the clay pot, the large clay pot was considered a skewer pot - at first glance it looked very quaint.

At this time, Aunt Liu's family had not yet come, and Mr. Xu was nowhere to be seen. Seeing that Xiao An had gone to Wang's house, Yun Niang went to invite Aunt Liu in person.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

It was a strange beautiful girl who opened the door, and even the coarse cloth dress could not cover the coquettish charm.

When she saw her, for some reason, Yun Niang's heart suddenly gave birth to a sigh of creation and making people.

This Miss Liu looks like her but not like her.

Both of them fell from the pile of wealth.

From the other party's behavior, she seemed to see her former self.

However, she, the former merchant lady, was busy making a living, and in less than two months, she was about to become the same as an ordinary girl who grew up in the market.

But this young lady of the Quanling family, even if she wears the dress in the market, is still out of place with everything around her.

Is it because the background of the family is different from that of the merchants, so the girls who come out will be very different?

However, strictly speaking, her family is not a merchant, they are a well-known big family in Hezhou Mansion, although they are side branches, they have not come out of Wuhu with their grandchildren.

It's just that the situation in her family is a little complicated.

Her father lost his father when he was five years old, and her father's own uncle, who was also her second uncle, wanted to kill the killer to rob the family wealth of the orphans and widows in the long house.

In order to let his father grow up safely, his grandmother, who was weak in the family, did not dare to return to the Xie family, so she had to go to her mother's house in Shaozhou Mansion.

My great-grandfather's family was not bad, my grandmother's brother was nearly ten years older than my grandmother, and although he was already a man, his body was not very good at that time, and he couldn't stand the long journey to help his grandmother seek justice.

So, he sent a few loyal servants to Hezhou Mansion with his letters, and asked one of his classmates for help, and after some lawsuits, he got the deed of most of their Changfang's property.

At that time, my grandmother wanted to have the property sold on the spot. But the second uncle shamelessly sent someone to make trouble.

In the end, a third of it was barely sold, and the rest of the deed was brought back to Shaozhou Mansion. But after all, these industries are too far away, and the maternal great-grandfather's family is not a family with many good experiences, and there is no extra steward to choose for the grandmother. The two people sent by my grandmother reluctantly died one after another not long after, and the steward who was hired by the trustee in Hezhou was fine at the beginning, but it didn't take long for all the accounts to become negative, and I cheekily reached out to my grandmother to ask for silver to fill it.

The grandmother was angry, so she simply closed the shop, and the field was reluctantly rented to the patriarch, and only half of the rent was collected, on the condition that he would go to his grandfather's grave to worship during the New Year's holidays, and the grandmother donated half of the rent to the clan in the name of his father, hoping that the students from the clan would remember his father's kindness and say a fair word when his father returned to the clan in the future.

When my father grew up, he should have gone to Hezhou Mansion early to get back the property, but my grandmother hated the people for bullying their mother and son together.

It's a pity that when she died of illness, her father, who was twenty-five, didn't even pass the show.

After her grandmother died, her father simply went to literature and business, but he revitalized the two shops left by his grandmother that did not have much income, and he also earned a lot of family fortune one after another, and her family became a merchant in the eyes of others.

After some recollection, Yun Niang's mood was a little complicated and indescribable.

There was a hint of self-pity and a little self-deprecation, and these emotions immediately turned into pride.

After all, she was not forced to hang herself by the situation, and she earned money with her own hands and did not depend on others to live.

In the future, she can save enough money to send her younger brother to study and gain fame, find out the whereabouts of Mama Yu, and maybe even follow her brother back to the Xie family in style!

Thinking of this, Yun Niang curtsied her knees with her eyebrows widened, and said politely: "Hello Miss Liu, is Aunt Liu at home?" I'm Yun Niang next door, and I'm here to invite you to my house for dinner, and now that the meal has been put on the table, I'm waiting for you to pass. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Aunt Liu ask loudly, "Miss Xiaoxiao, but someone is from next door?" You tell her to go back first, and we'll go right away. ”
