Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

In Jiuxi Village, Wu Sanjin saw Jiang Xun suddenly acting like this, and he was sure that he was not holding back anything good. However, due to his identity as Jiang Huaixu's brother, he had no choice but to accept it.

After a while, a few eloquent men among the villagers followed Jiang Erlang and Wu Sanjin into Jiang Erlang's house.

Jiang Erlang picked up the teapot that had been warming on the stove and poured tea for everyone, and then asked: "I wonder what kind of business Mr. Wu wants to discuss with us?"

Wu Sanjin raised his eyelids and glanced at the men, and said slowly: "Actually, it's not a big deal. I want to buy the five-spice powder recipe. As long as you can sell it, the money can be easily negotiated."

Jiang Dazhuang didn't even take a sip of tea, because shopkeeper Wu's words were a bit irritating. He hissed, put down the tea bowl, stood up and said, "shopkeeper Wu, right? Didn't you ask before you came here? Or something? We Jiang Shi’s Tofu Shop only sells five-spice powder but not seeds, so we won’t do this business!”

The other men couldn't sit still anymore. If they hadn't worried that he was the owner of a restaurant in the county, they would have kicked him out.

"I wonder how much money shopkeeper Wu can pay at most to buy our prescription?" Jiang Erlang's voice made the noisy room quiet.

Jiang Dazhuang looked at Jiang Erlang in disbelief, "Erlang, you——"

Wu Sanjin interrupted his questioning and gestured with two fingers, "Two hundred taels."

He tried many ways to figure out the proportions of various spices in five-spice powder, but he never came up with the exact same mixture. Otherwise, there is no need to spend these two hundred taels of silver.

Jiang Erlang smiled when he heard this, "Two hundred taels, shopkeeper Wu is joking."

Wu Sanjin pulled the flesh on his face. Jiang Erlang's calm attitude was really irritating.

"It's just a prescription. The price of two hundred taels is already high enough. Do you still want to sell it for thousands of taels?"

"Shopkeeper Wu is right. If you pay two thousand taels, I will sell you the recipe." Jiang Erlang lowered his head and drank water.

Everyone gasped. Is this the lion's opening? Jiang Dazhuang, who was so angry just now, looked at Jiang Erlang seriously, and after a while he sat down calmly.

Wu Sanjin slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Jiang Xun, don't you see who I am?! I am the brother-in-law of the magistrate of Beichuan County! I paid for this recipe to give you face. If you don't give me any face, I will give you face." Face, don’t blame me for making you miserable in the future!”

"It turns out that he is the magistrate's brother-in-law. I'm disrespectful." Jiang Erlang stood up and said, "But I heard that the magistrate's wife's surname is Hu. I wonder which brother-in-law you are from the magistrate's family?"

Jiang Wei helped at the tofu stall and heard a lot about what was happening in the county from the diners' mouths every day. Although he didn't know much about it, he would never forget what he heard.

"My sister is the most favored concubine in the magistrate's back house..."

Jiang Erlang repeated: "It turns out he is the brother of the magistrate's concubine. In these days, can the concubine's brother call himself brother-in-law?"

He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry for my lack of education. I've never heard of such a thing. Shopkeeper Wu, I'm a rebellious person by nature. Since shopkeeper Wu said so, I won't sell this recipe. Shopkeeper, please go back."

"Come here!" Wu Sanjin's eyes turned red with anger, "Bring this man to the county government office! I want to see how hard his bones are!"

"Yes, from the shopkeeper!"

Several men immediately picked up the sticks they had just brought, stood up and stood in front of Jiang Erlang, "Let me see who of you dares!"

While Jiang Dazhuang looked at Wu Sanjin's men warily, he asked Jiang Erlang in a low voice, "Erlang, what are you doing? What will happen if the county magistrate's in-laws offend someone?"

"Now that they're here, they definitely don't want to go back empty-handed. As long as we don't sell anything, we will offend them. I just want to know who the person named Wu is relying on. Now that I know, please ask them out."

"Why do you invite me? Didn't you see that they were about to start a fight?"

A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Erlang pinched Wu Sanjin's neck and walked out of his courtyard.

Wu Sanjin's men lay staggering on the ground, wailing again and again.

"Jiang Xun!" With his fragile neck restrained, Wu Sanjin did not dare to move, so he could only say through gritted teeth, "Aren't you afraid that I will let the county magistrate put all of you unruly people in jail?!"

Jiang Erlang glanced at him unhappily and said, "As the local official of Beichuan County, the county magistrate is honest, upright and upright. How could you imprison us ordinary people just because you buy and sell by force and we don't agree? Shopkeeper Wu , does the county magistrate know that you are ruining his reputation outside like this?"

Wu Sanjin's face turned even redder due to being blocked.

Jiang Erlang let go of his hand and said, "The road is difficult, Shopkeeper Wu, walk slowly."

After all the men were dragged out, the door of Jiang's house was closed with a bang.

Wu Sanjin sat on the ground in embarrassment and panted for a long time before he recovered. He roared: "Get out of here, help me up!"

Jiang Dazhuang was all anxious in the room, "How can we deal with this? What if he is so angry that he can complain to the county magistrate? Erlang, please speak up!"

Jiang Erlang sat and thought for a long time before he said, "Don't worry, I'll go to the county town. Tell the village chief uncle about this and wait for me to come back."

At the same time, Jiang Huaixu woke up after a good sleep. When he opened his eyes, he almost thought he had entered heaven, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland on earth.

[The host is almost here. ] Futuan said gloomily, [You slept all the way, but I didn’t rest at all. I asked you to buy a few small things, and you didn’t even give me food. How could I have such a stingy host like you... 】

After being held back all the way, Fu Tuan couldn't help nagging.

"You haven't earned enough points this day?"

[I can only buy nutrient solution! 】

"Then give me your points and I'll buy you food."

【Stingy! 】

"hey-hey."

······

After bickering for a while, they finally arrived at Huaizhou City. While looking for a place to stay, they passed by Wangyue Tower. Futuan suddenly said: [Host, the father you just found is awake. 】

In Wangyue Tower, Shen Su opened his eyes and found that his body seemed to be wrapped in something. He rolled his eyes and remembered what happened before he fainted, with a flash of pain and despair in his eyes.

The maid noticed that the person on the bed had woken up and immediately went to report it to Yan Qun.

As soon as Yan Qun walked to the bed, he knelt on the ground and said, "General, the lady will come back to see you soon. She has applied medicine to treat burns on your body. It can't be removed until she comes back..."

Shen Su opened his eyes suddenly, "...Will she come back?"

The voice is still a little hoarse, but still clear and beautiful.

Yan Qun was stunned for a moment and said in a loss of voice: "General, has your voice recovered?"

Shen Su also noticed something was wrong with the voice and the abnormality in his body - although taking the pills could prolong his life, he still had to endure the pain of burning inside. Now he seemed to be unable to feel the familiar pain.

Why is this?
