Travel through time and become the wronged stepmother

Facing the brilliance of the morning sun, Jiang Luo drove the ox cart through patches of green wheat fields, entered the county gate through the bustling streets, and arrived at the dock on the west side of the county.

Jiang Luorou drove the cart slowly forward, and when she saw a good empty seat in front of her, she stopped the cart. After greeting several children to get out of the car, Jiang Luorou began to move things and prepare to set up a stall.

Before Jiang Luorou could move down, he saw a group of patrolling government servants walking towards him with serious faces.

Several government officials came closer and saw that the person setting up the stall was Empress Jiang Luorou.

The leader's expression immediately changed, and he said to Jiang Luorou in a friendly manner: "Ms. Jiang wants to set up a stall here? According to the rules, setting up a stall here is not allowed. Please move to another place."

Jiang Luorou said in embarrassment: "I'm really sorry. I just got here and I don't know the rules. I don't know where to set up a stall. I asked the elder brother of the government servant to tell me. I will be very grateful."

After Jiang Luorou, the yamen servant, said this, he waved his hand and said, "Ms. Jiang, you don't have to be so polite about trivial matters. Mrs. Jiang, please get on the bullock cart and follow me." After saying that, he walked forward.

Jiang Luorou also greeted several children to get on the ox cart again, and drove forward with the government servant in front.

After passing through a few more streets, the government officer stopped next to an open space and stopped.

She turned to Jiang Luorou and said, "Ms. Jiang, this place has a lot of people. There is a big tree here that can tie up cattle. There is a well not far in front and it is very convenient to draw water. It is most suitable to set up a stall here."

Jiang Luorou looked around and was extremely satisfied with this place. He quickly stepped forward and thanked him: "Thank you for your help, elder brother of the yamen. I am very grateful to you. Please accept this kindness." After saying that, he took out a dozen copper coins from his arms and handed them to the head of the yamen.

The leader of the government office saw the copper coins in Jiang Luorou's hand and quickly said, "What are you doing, Mrs. Jiang? I will never accept this money." As he said this, he pushed back the hands Jiang Luorou handed over.

When Jiang Luorou saw that the yamen servant refused to accept the money, he hurriedly said: "Since the yamen eldest brother refuses to accept it, I won't force it anymore. Several eldest brothers will pass by here in the future and please come to my place to sit more often."

Hearing this, the yamen servant joked and said, "Since Mrs. Jiang said this, we should take it seriously. When the time comes, Mrs. Jiang, please don't dislike our brother. We still have official duties, so we won't bother Mrs. Jiang too much." Let’s just say goodbye.”

Seeing this, Jiang Luorou didn't want to do much to persuade him to stay, so he told all the government officials to come and sit more often when they were free.

After bidding farewell to the yamen servants, Jiang Luorou began to arrange the things needed to set up a stall.

Jiang Luorou first tied the old ox to a big tree nearby, brought a basket of corn stalks and placed it next to it.

After placing the old scalpers, Jiang Luorou took out a simple shed from the cattle cart and fixed it on the ground.

After setting up the shed, Jiang Luorou arranged the tables, chairs and benches neatly. Take out the shelf and prop up the chopping board, put chopped green onions, cleaned lettuce, cooked meat sauce, fried peanuts, various seasonings such as oil, salt, soy and vinegar, and mixed potato starch dumplings on it.

Then put the stove and firewood in the corresponding positions. Then take out the corn, water jar, bucket, bowls and chopsticks and put them in their corresponding positions.

Jiang Luorou took out a few small bowls, poured out several bowls of chili oil, and placed them on the table for entertaining guests. She then took a bucket to fetch water from the well nearby and filled the water jar she brought with her.

After a while, a decent stall was born. Jiang Luorou looked at the small stall he had built with his own hands and felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

After doing all this, Jiang Luorou lit the fire. Place a large iron pot on one of the stoves, put an appropriate amount of water in it and start cooking the corn.

He turned around and came to the chopping board, took out a thick and long rolling pin and started rolling out the potato vermicelli. It didn't take long for the potato vermicelli to be rolled out. Jiang Luorou divided it into several small portions according to the portion of a bowl and put them aside for later use.

Jiang Luorou lit the fires on the other two stoves, set up two large iron pots, and boiled water.

After Jiang Luorou finished everything, he sat on the bench and took a rest.

Zicheng helped light the fire there, while Ziqing and Zimo drew grids on the ground with branches and played backgammon.

Jiang Luorou hadn't rested long before she saw many people starting to come out one after another from the pier and walking towards each stall.

Jiang Luorou stood up, went to the stove, cooked some potato flour, fished it out, added an appropriate amount of salt, vinegar, soy sauce, chopped green onion, peanuts, sesame oil, a spoonful of meat sauce, and a tablespoon of After stirring the boiling water evenly, add two blanched lettuce leaves, and a bowl of potato flour is completed. The aroma of rice suddenly wafted from Jiang Luorou's stall, attracting many people.

A simple and honest middle-aged man came over and asked: "Sister, what are you selling? It smells really good. How much does a bowl cost?"

Jiang Luorou saw someone asking about the price and said with a smile: "Brother, this is a new food made from fresh potatoes. It costs 10 cents a bowl. Do you want to have a bowl to try?"

The honest and honest man said sheepishly: "The plain noodles here only cost 7 cents a bowl. Why do you sell noodles like this for so much money?"

Jiang Luorou was not annoyed after hearing this, and patiently explained to him: "Brother, what you said is wrong. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. The plain noodles they sell are only noodles with chopped green onions. Look at my bowl with peanuts again. , it’s meat, so why isn’t it worth 10 cents?”

The honest man couldn't bear the fragrance anymore, so he took out 10 cents and handed it to Jiang Luorou.

After Jiang Luorou counted that it was OK, she told him to sit at the table and wait for a while. Then he turned around and took out another bowl of potato flour and brought it over.

The honest man took the bowl and started eating, taking a gulp. He was full of praise for this bowl of potato powder and repeatedly said that the ten cents spent were worth it.

At this moment, the corn in the pot also wafted out waves of aroma, and the honest man asked again: "Sister, how do you sell that corn?"

Jiang Luorou said casually: "2 cents per ear of corn, do you want an ear?"

The honest man took out 2 cents from his pocket and slapped it on the table. The older girl gave me an ear of corn.

After hearing this, Jiang Luorou took out a piece of corn from the pot and handed it to the honest man.

People who came over after smelling the aroma saw how delicious the honest man's food was, so they all took out their copper coins and handed them to Jiang Luorou.

Jiang Luorou suddenly became busy.

When Zimo and Ziqing saw someone coming, they threw down the stones in their hands and hurriedly came to the crowd and began to sell their potato powder hard.

Zicheng was helping to light the fire next to the stove. When he saw that the water in the pot was low, he added a few ladles of water and boiled it over high heat.

Zimo started to greet and collect the money. Uncles and uncles, every bowl of potato noodles that you want to eat is 10 cents, and you have to queue up and pay here.

Oh, uncle, 10 cents is just enough. Please sit inside for a while and the potato noodles will be here soon.
