Travel through time and become the wronged stepmother
Chapter 45 Preparations before setting up a stall
After Jiang Luorou entered the main room, she took out the copper coins and handed them into the hands of several people. She said politely: "This is your wages for today's work. If you pay well, just accept it if you don't have any problem."
Several people expressed their belief in Jiang Luorou's character and would leave after accepting the copper coins.
Seeing this, Jiang Luorou quickly stopped them and stuffed a cloth bag into their hands. They are all seasonal vegetables. I can't finish them. You can take them back to try them.
Several people tried to refuse, but when they couldn't, they had no choice but to take the bags and leave.
After seeing off a few people, Jiang Luorou went to the kitchen to make a pot of egg and spinach noodle soup.
Jiang Luorou was really tired today. After putting away the dishes, she took Ziqing back to her room to sleep.
After breakfast the next day, Jiang Luorou went to the middle of the yard, poured out the excess water in the tank, and gently took out the settled potato starch. Place on a clean dustpan to dry.
After doing all this, Jiang Luorou went to Ningtang's house and asked Zhao to take care of the child while he went to the county town to buy some things for setting up a stall.
When Mrs. Zhao heard that she was going to the county town, she took out a few pennies and gave them to Jiang Luorou and said, "Brother and sister! Today is the Winter Clothes Festival. By the way, I will help my sister-in-law buy some colorful paper and paper money for use in the evening."
Jiang Luorou took the copper coins and said, "Sister-in-law, if you don't tell me, I will forget about this matter. Don't worry, I will take care of it."
After Jiang Luorou came out of Zhao's place, she drove the ox cart towards the county seat.
After Jiang Luorou drove the bullock cart into the county town, she saw many stalls with sacrificial items on the streets.
Jiang Luorou was afraid of forgetting this matter, so she got out of the car and bought two items for sacrifice.
After buying this, Jiang Luorou went to the carpenter's shop and bought several tables and matching benches.
Then I went to the grocery store to buy pots, pans, stoves, chopping boards and other things for the stall.
After buying everything, Jiang Luorou went to the meat stall to cut a few kilograms of meat and hurried home. She still had a lot of things to do at home.
While Jiang Luorou was rushing home, a gentle and elegant man wearing a light blue robe, a jade pendant on his waist, and holding a folding fan was pacing back and forth at the door of the bookstore, as if waiting for someone.
Not long after, two young men, also wearing robes and holding folding fans, came out of the bookshop.
The man outside saw someone coming out of the bookstore and quickly took a look. When he saw that it was the person he was looking for, he quickly straightened his clothes and pretended to go to the bookstore to buy books.
He walked up to the two of them and pretended to have met by chance. He quickly stepped forward to say hello: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li, are you okay?"
After hearing this, the two people hurriedly came back and said, "Hello Mr. Ning, I wonder what Mr. Ning is doing here?"
Mr. Ning quickly replied: "Isn't this the autumn of next year? I want to come here to find some books to read. I wonder what Brother Zhang and Brother Li are doing here?"
Mr. Li replied: "The two of us are here to prepare for next autumn. But we didn't expect to meet Mr. Ning here. "
Mr. Ning took over the conversation and said, "Since we have met, it is fate. It is almost noon and it is time for dinner. How about I host you two at noon today?"
Mr. Li agreed: "Since Mr. Ning has kindly invited the two of us, it's hard to refuse. But where should we go to eat?"
Mr. Zhang said with great interest: "Why don't we go to Manxianglou? I heard that there is a new dish that tastes very good. What do you think?"
The two nodded in agreement.
Seeing Mr. Ning and Mr. Li agreeing, Mr. Zhang said again: "It's just that this place is still some distance away from Manxiang Tower. How about you two riding in a carriage with me?"
Afterwards, after being polite, several people boarded Mr. Zhang's carriage and headed to Manxiang Tower together.
The carriage drove to the door of Manxiang Tower and stopped slowly. The three of them got out of the carriage and walked straight to Manxiang Tower.
As soon as we arrived at Manxiang Restaurant, the restaurant waiter hurriedly came forward to greet us. Mr. Ning said he wanted to book a private room, so the restaurant waiter led the three of them upstairs into an empty room. "
After the three of them were seated, the restaurant waiter came forward and asked, "What do you want to order?"
Mr. Zhang said: "Xiao Er, I heard that the new dish you have here is good to make and try. For the rest, just make the ones I usually like to eat. By the way, a pot of good wine, I want it." A few drinks with some friends.”
The waiter left the room after listening to the instructions.
It didn't take long for the restaurant waiter to bring a table of good wine and food.
The three of them exchanged polite greetings and then started to use their chopsticks, and from time to time they would make drinks.
When Mr. Ning saw that the two of them had almost finished drinking, he raised his glass and came to Mr. Zhang's side.
Ning Gongzi said with a flattering look on his face: "I am dissatisfied that Mr. Zhang said that I really have something to ask for here today. I heard that Mr. Zhang is the nephew of the prefect. I would like to see him in autumn. Ning would be very grateful."
Mr. Zhang heard this and quickly agreed: "Brother Ning, don't worry, I will definitely put in a good word for you in front of your uncle when the time comes."
Mr. Ning was overjoyed when he heard this. He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Then Ning will thank Brother Zhang here."
Mr. Zhang quickly returned the greeting and said, "It's just a matter of raising a hand. Why does Brother Ning need to give such a big gift?"
After seeing that the two of them had almost eaten, Mr. Ning called the restaurant waiter to start paying the bill.
When the restaurant waiter heard the check, he immediately ran to Mr. Ning and said, "To tell you this, your table has a total of twenty taels of silver."
Mr. Ning couldn't help but feel a little sad after hearing the two taels of silver, but he thought about how he would meet the magistrate in the near future with his jade tree facing the wind, his handsome appearance and his wealth of knowledge. He will definitely make the government officials favor him. Maybe he has a daughter who has not yet left the government and will become the prefect's son-in-law.
With the help of the prefect, there is no need to worry about the day when he will rise to the top. The money is well spent. He took out two taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to the restaurant waiter.
After paying the money, several people left Fumanlou. After some polite greetings, they parted ways. Young Masters Li and Zhang boarded the carriage and left together.
After the carriage left, Mr. Ning walked on the street with a sad face. The ten taels of silver his parents gave him last time only lasted a month, and he had spent it without even a copper penny. What should I do next? Forget it, go to your father to find a solution first. Bar.
At this time, the two young masters Li and Zhang were chatting on the carriage.
Brother Zhang, do you really want to introduce that lowly mud-legged man to your uncle?
What Brother Zhang said is right. He is just a bastard. He is worthy of letting me talk to him. What do you want to say?
Then you still agree to him?
It's hard to spoil someone's mood by eating at someone else's table. When the time comes, just say that my uncle is busy with official duties and doesn't have time to see him.
Mr. Ning walked into a jewelry shop. The clerk immediately nodded and bowed over and said, "Is Ning Xiucai here to see Mr. Accountant again? If he is here, please follow me."
