Travel through time and become the wronged stepmother

After a bumpy journey, Jiang Luorou and his group arrived at the place where the stall was set up.

Several people worked together to quickly tidy up the stall and had nothing to do.

Jiang Luorou excitedly brought the simple blackboard he made yesterday and was about to take out the chalk from the money box.

Jiang Luorou excitedly opened the money box and looked inside. She saw that the chalk inside had been broken into pieces after the bumps along the way, but it did not hinder writing.

Jiang Luorou stared at the chalk head and thought silently. It seemed that this chalk still needed some improvement.

I picked up a piece of chalk and started writing traditional Chinese characters on the blackboard.

It says today's signature dishes: Braised large intestine costs 15 cents per pound, potato starch costs 10 cents per bowl, and corn costs 2 cents per ear.

Considering that not many people were literate in ancient times, simple drawings and the number of copper coins were added below each line of text.

After doing all this, Jiang Luorou tied the blackboard with a rope and hung it in front of the stall so that everyone who came over could see it.

Jiang Luorou hung up the blackboard, then took a few steps back to carefully examine the masterpiece he had just completed. He gently stroked his chin with his hand, showing a proud expression.

He was proudly boasting in his heart that his handwriting is neat and his drawings are vivid and interesting. Jiang Luorou, you are really a little genius.

Before Jiang Luorou could be proud, diners were already arriving at the stall one after another.

Madam, are you still in business?

Jiang Luorou quickly put away her proud look and said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "Yes, of course I did. What does this elder brother want?"

The man rubbed his hands and said to Jiang Luorou: "I was drinking with my brother yesterday and I thought the braised pork sausage was good. Why don't I come here today to buy a few kilograms to satisfy the children's craving. Just give me 3 kilograms." He took out 45 copper coins from his wallet and handed it to Zimo.

He looked up and saw corn painted on the blackboard, so he pointed at the blackboard and asked: "Madam, do you still have corn for sale here? 2 cents per ear, right? Give me five ears." Then he took out another 10 copper coins and handed them over.

After sending away the first customer, many people came next. Before Jiang Luorou could say anything, a long queue formed spontaneously.

From their words, I learned that these were introduced by people who bought braised large intestine yesterday.

Two large pots of braised pork sausage were sold out before noon.

At noon, there were many diners who came here yesterday to eat potato noodles. He excitedly pointed to the braised large intestine on the blackboard and asked, "Madam, you should be able to eat this delicious braised large intestine today."

Hearing this, Jiang Luorou said sheepishly: "I prepared two large pots of braised large intestine today. Who would have thought that it would be sold out before noon. I will make more tomorrow and I will give you a try."

Unexpectedly, the diners did not have any expectations of eating braised large intestine tomorrow, and they all said that they would ask their mothers-in-law to come here tomorrow to buy a few kilograms of braised large intestine before going home to eat at night.

After finishing her business for the day, Jiang Luorou drove the bullock cart towards home, but she was thinking about transforming the chalk.

How can we improve the toughness of chalk? Of course you need to add glue or something.

So how is glue made? I don't know at all.

Jiang Luorou was thinking hard and suddenly remembered her grandmother's words: "When they were little, they would peel off the elm bark when they had nothing to eat, grind it into powder and cook it. Rourou, you don't know that the elm bark turns out to be sticky when cooked." At that time, people were so hungry that they swallowed it without chewing it, and many people choked to death."

I also remembered that when I was scrolling through Douyin, I came across a video about making incense. The sticky powder made from nanmu bark is used to bind the spices together to make incense that is not easy to break. Finally, he said that if there is no nanmu, it is also possible to use sticky powder made from elm bark.

Jiang Luorou thought for a moment and remembered that she had encountered a large elm forest when she went up the mountain. Why not go down and try some and maybe it would succeed?

After thinking about this problem, the bullock cart had already brought everyone back to their doorstep.

When Mrs. Zhao heard the noise, she quickly came out of her home, followed by Sister-in-law Li.

After a few people exchanged pleasantries, they brought small stools and came to Jiang Luorou's side to put away the pig intestines together.

Mrs. Zhao looked at the pots of pig intestines and asked doubtfully: "Brothers and sisters, why did you buy so many pig intestines today? Can you sell them?"

Before Jiang Luorou could speak, Ning Xiaoliu said to Mrs. Zhao excitedly: "Mom, you don't know how popular Auntie's braised pork sausage is.

The two big pots full of sausages braised yesterday were sold out in less than an hour. Liu Er felt that not to mention that the ones displayed here could be sold out, even if so many were added, it would not be enough to sell. "

Sister-in-law Li smiled and joked: "Zicheng's mother will be great in the future! She will be a real big boss. When you get rich in the future, don't forget us poor relatives."

Jiang Luorou said half-jokingly: "Hey, sister-in-law, what are you talking about? I forgot that no one can forget you. By the way, sister-in-law, look at my memory, I even forgot to give you a bowl to try. . No wonder my sister-in-law would say such a thing, I must take a bowl to try it later.

With the help of several people, Jiang Luorou braised four large pots of braised sausage. To show her gratitude, Jiang Luorou gave Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Li a bowl of braised sausage each.

Then Jiang Luorou took out 20 copper coins from the box and paid Ning Xiaoliu's wages.

After sending everyone away, Jiang Luorou was about to take a machete to the mountains to cut down some elm trees to make chalk.

Seeing that it was getting late, I stopped thinking and turned around to walk to the kitchen. I looked down at the firewood on the ground and felt happy. Isn't this ready-made elm wood?

After having dinner with the children, I took out the pen and paper and let the two brothers practice.

Jiang Luorou excitedly came to the kitchen and started peeling off the bark. Remove the old skin on the surface and discard the solid wood inside, leaving only a thin layer of film in the middle.

After taking out the film, Jiang Luorou put it on the chopping board, chopped it up, and ground it into powder in a grinding bowl.

Take out a little bit and put it into the gypsum powder, then add an appropriate amount of water according to the original proportion of making chalk and stir evenly. Go to the corner and pour it into the bamboo tube that was not used yesterday. Put it away and wait to see what the result will be tomorrow.

After Jiang Luorou finished everything, she sent her children to the bedroom to sleep, while she was still counting the small coins on the small table. A total of 5 strings of copper coins were strung together today.

In the blink of an eye, the next morning came, Jiang Luorou packed everything, put the chalk she made last night in the money box and rushed towards the county seat.

After arriving at the destination, Jiang Luorou opened the box and took a look. Despite the bumps along the way, the chalk was still intact, so I picked it up and started writing on the wooden board. After improvements, the writing effect became even better.

Today's business is still booming. As diners said yesterday, they still didn't get the braised large intestine they wanted for lunch today.

Jiang Luorou closed the stall early after selling her things, bought everything she needed in the county town, and rushed home.

While passing by a road surrounded by mountains and rivers, I suddenly heard calls for help.

It felt like I heard the voice somewhere, but I couldn't remember who it was.

Jiang Luorou couldn't help but stop the bullock cart and walked in the direction of the sound.
