Chapter 367: Starry Sky
That night, when Jiang Han returned home with a pair of stiff arms, it was nearly three watches.
Before leaving, Lord Shen told her that Huang Youneng was dead, and at first thought it was a robbery, but later found the body of Ma Huaide's men in another place, and they guessed that it was most likely the result of a fight between bandits in the mountains.
Lord Shen warned her to be more careful when going out in the future, which made her feel a little colder and couldn't help sneezing.
Seeing that she was so pitiful, Lord Shen took out a bamboo tube and gave it to her, saying that if there was an emergency, he could pour out the contents of the bamboo tube and throw it in front of the enemy, and there would be smoke after it exploded, so that he could buy time to escape.
This made her so happy, she was so grateful that she decided to give Yun Niang and Xiao An one each when she went back.
When she woke up again in the early morning with her drowsy head on her head, the family had already gotten up and was busy except for Father Jiang, who was inconvenient to move.
The next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yun Niang made dozens of more for her to take to the teahouse to sell, and specially made some small ones to wrap up, saying that they were to be given to those who often take care of business, such as Xu Jiyang, Chen Liuyi and others.
Jiang Han is very happy about this, Yun Niang's business is becoming more and more disciplined now, she has been so busy lately that she has forgotten to take advantage of the holiday to contact major customers for a relationship.
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The shopkeeper Wang made money and was in a very happy mood and very generous, it closed after noon, and he also sent 20 yuan to save money, in fact, he originally wanted to send a small bag of tea to bring home to entertain guests, but because the bag was too small, this proposal was not even approved by Mr. Xu, and finally Jiang Han and Song Yaozu were squeezed by you and me sentence by sentence, which was replaced by 20 yuan.
For twenty yuan, you can go to the grocery store and buy one or twenty yuan of coarse tea, and the rest can be cut into a piece of meat.
The moon cake business was over, and the first thing Jiang Han did when he got home was to ask Yun Niang to take out the account book and settle the accounts.
Excluding the cost, the consignment fee for the shopkeeper Wang, and the commission for Aunt Liu, Liu Dakang, Uncle Niu and a few other people who helped take the order, the Jiang family earned more than ten taels of silver, plus an extra tael of silver collected when the Lilai Teahouse opened, exactly nineteen taels of silver.
"It's only nineteen taels, so I'm going to make up twenty taels!" Jiang Han said with emotion.
"Greedy girl, it's only been a few days." Father Jiang scolded with a smile.
He can already get out of bed, but his right foot still can't touch the ground, and he has to walk around the yard every day on crutches with the help of Baa.
"That's right, sister, we were in too much hurry this time, let's prepare early for the next holiday."
"It shouldn't be much more to prepare early, moon cakes are in season, but they are not easy to preserve, and even if every household wants to buy it, it is during this time. Besides, if we had prepared early, spread the word early, and were imitated by others, maybe we wouldn't have been able to sell more than 2,000 mooncakes. Xiao An retorted with a serious face.
"You kid is so reasonable, sister, I am speechless, you even know how many mooncakes we have sold." Jiang Han joked.
"Of course I remember, I wrote the word Fu on each box of mooncakes, and I not only know how many we sold, but I also know how many mooncakes we made."
"Oh? I don't know, can you know? ”
Hearing this, Xiao An looked at her seriously and said: "Sister Yue, it's not good for you to do business like this, you have to keep accounts, these are all costs, now we have little business, you can use the difference between income and cost to calculate the total, if the business is big in the future, you can't calculate it like this." ”
"Yo, you kid still knows a lot, and your husband still teaches you this?" Jiang Han glanced at him.
"Xiao An is right, if you want to do it, you will do it seriously, didn't you get a plan book before, just write it clearly one stroke at a time, so that there will be no rules." Daddy Jiang interjected.
"Yes, my dad used to be in business, and he remembers every account very clearly."
Jiang Han looked at Yun Niang, and said to Xiao An with a smile on his face: "This account is kept by your sister, you are with her every day, shouldn't you supervise her to do a good job of keeping accounts?" Hmph, hindsight. ”
"I just saw it from my sister's account book."
“…… You bear child, play tricks on me seriously, I think you have itchy skin! As he spoke, he was about to catch Xiao An, but Xiao An jumped up and ran out of the door, and the Duoduo dog crooked at his feet hurriedly stood up and whispered to Jiang Han twice, and followed to the threshold.
I don't want to ask Daddy Jiang to stop him, and said: "Xiao An, don't be busy leaving, go next door to see if your brother Da Kang is back, if he is back, let him go to the inspection yamen and invite Master Shen to come over to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together-just now your sister said that she saw Miss Fu in Washi in the morning, presumably they didn't go back to Fucheng for the holiday." ”
"Okay, I'll go."
Jiang Han was stunned for a moment, and said reluctantly: "Dad, why do you want to invite him, how do you know that people are staying not to cultivate feelings with their subordinates for the holidays?" ”
Father Jiang secretly observed her expression and said, "Nonsense, who doesn't go home for the big holiday?" Besides, they are our life-saving benefactors, and we should do all the etiquette if they come or not. ”
Well, having said that, she has nothing to refute.
Not to mention the grace of saving her life, she finally accepted other people's good things.
When the sun set in the west and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the Jiang family's small courtyard with a layer of warm orange like a harvest, Lord Shen and Fu Siyu led their respective servants and followed Liu Dakang into the Jiang family's gate.
At this time, the Jiang family was full of fireworks, the kitchen chimney suddenly emitted white smoke, and the mouth-watering aroma of food filled the courtyard, Yun Niang and Jiang Han were busy in and out and were still preparing for the last few dishes, Aunt Liu and Liu Xiaomei were helping to wash the dishes and wash the dishes by the well, and Father Liu directed Xiao An to put dishes and chopsticks on the long table supported by the door panel.
As soon as a group of people entered the courtyard, they were attracted by this warm atmosphere, and the loneliness of missing their relatives every festival began to fade away.
When the twilight was deep and the moon was about to rise, the Jiang family lit firecrackers, and after a brief worship, the dishes were put on the table one after another.
Lord Shen was particularly gracious, and at Jiang Han's suggestion, the four of them also entered the table together.
Needless to say, knowing that Fu Siyu was coming, Jiang Han and Yun Niang came up with a killer idea, just to let her, the gold owner, take a good look at their cooking skills.
After the whole banquet passed with the initial restraint, everyone began to push the cups and change the lamps, and the atmosphere gradually became lively, Jiang Han was interested, and also told a small joke at the bottom of the box, which caused everyone to almost spray rice, Aunt Liu and Father Jiang laughed and scolded, even Lord Shen couldn't help laughing.
It was this burst of laughter that made the smile on Daddy Jiang's face dim a little.
He quietly observed Lord Shen's attitude towards Jiang Han, and suddenly found that it was completely different from a month ago.
He suddenly remembered Liu Dakang's suspicions, and his mood couldn't help but become heavy.
When the wine was over and Jiang Han carried him back to the main room, Daddy Jiang said, "Yueya, don't be busy walking, talk to your father." ”
