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

"Yao Mei, why did you buy so much!" Jiang Wei was shocked when she saw Jiang Huaixu pulling two large sacks.

Jiang Sanlang hurriedly stepped forward to take it, and swallowed uncontrollably, "My parents are going to scold me."

"The shopkeeper said that if you buy too much, you can add two pounds of old cotton." Jiang Huaixu said confidently, "It's still a good deal!"

When Jiang Sanlang heard this, he felt that Yaomei had been deceived by the shopkeeper of Buzhuang, and muttered: "He is indeed a profiteer, and he actually deceived a child."

Then he nagged Jiang Huaixu: "Yao Mei, he just bullied you because you are young. Third brother followed them so he didn't dare to bully you..."

"Third brother, you are so verbose, you won't be able to find a wife!"

"I······"

"Stop the quarrel, stop the quarrel." Jiang Huaixu came out to be the peacemaker, pointing to the snack shop not far away and said: "Third brother, please wait for us here first, and my sister and I will buy you snacks."

Jiang Wei's eyes lit up, and the cotton she had just picked up was placed back on the sack, and she pulled Jiang Huaixu away.

Jiang Sanlang didn't even have time to say a word before he saw the two of them jumping away.

He struggled to follow, but couldn't leave the cloth and cotton behind, so he had to stop.

Squatting on the street boredly watching people coming and going, in a daze for a long time, he finally saw Jiang Wei's figure. Jiang Wei was holding snacks wrapped in oil paper in her hands, and ran to him with a face full of joy, and then looked back. I went there, but there was no one there.

Jiang Sanlang was shocked: "Sister Wei, where is Yaomei?"

"Yao Mei still has things to buy. Let's take the cloth and cotton to Uncle Niu first, just in time to see how Big Brother and the others are doing."

Recalling what Jiang Erlang had told him, Jiang Sanlang hesitated and said: "Yamei, she..."

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Wei stuffed a piece of snack into her mouth.

Jiang Wei curled her lips and said, "Yao Mei's brain is much brighter than yours, Third Brother. When I come out with you two, I'm more worried about you than her."

Jiang Sanlang rolled his eyes at Jiang Wei, nibbling the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand and ignoring her.

After leaving the pastry shop, Jiang Huaixu first went to the grocery store and bought an oilcloth, three oil umbrellas and several clay jars. The oilcloth and oil umbrellas were tied with hemp rope, and the rest was put into a sack. When the waiter was surprised, she Eyes walked out of the shop.

She found a remote alley and asked Fu Tuan to serve as her temporary surveillance. Then she bought a large iron pot from the mall, as well as salt, brown sugar, white sugar and allspice for seasoning, and poured them all into the prepared jar. After filling everything inside, she sealed the clay jar with the rags and hemp rope she asked the shopkeeper.

The meals she had eaten in this world for so many days were all bitter coarse salt and no seasonings. No matter how good Zheng Liniang's cooking was, she was still very bland.

After thinking about it, she bought some more green onions, ginger and garlic, and finally put all the bags back into the space, sealed the sacks, and then Jiang Huaixu walked out of the alley again.

When she returned the same way with a sack in one hand and an oilcloth in the other, she saw Jiang Sanlang and Jiang Wei still squatting on the street. When they saw her coming, their legs bounced as if they were equipped with springs.

"Yao Mei, why are you so slow!"

"We have been waiting for you. If you don't go back with us, the eldest and second brothers will have to skin me. Why did you buy so many things..." Jiang Sanlang complained.

A gust of cool wind blew, Jiang Huaixu raised her head and looked at the sky. She always felt that the weather these days was unusual. Even if it didn't rain, it was always gloomy. She didn't see the sun a few times. At this time, there were dark clouds in the sky again. Gathering, it's obviously going to rain again.

"Third brother, I bought some salt, sugar and so on. Let's go find the eldest and second brothers quickly. It seems like it's going to rain again."

Jiang Sanlang cheered up and stumbled forward with a sack in one hand, "Then let's go back quickly. It will be difficult on the road if we are late."

The three of them took great pains to bring the purchased goods to Uncle Niu's mule cart.

Uncle Niu, who was taking a nap, heard the noise, opened his eyes and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Sanlang, why did you buy so many things?"

"Uncle Niu, isn't it almost the autumn harvest? Let's eat something good during the busy farming season." Jiang Sanlang replied with a naive smile.

Jiang Huaixu took out a few pieces of dragon beard candy from the cloth bag and distributed them to the three of them. He said with a smile: "Uncle Niu, I have kept you waiting for a long time. You can put this candy in your stomach first. I will buy some cakes and wait for my brother after eating." When they come back, we will go home.”

"Hey, hey." Uncle Niu replied repeatedly, with a smile on his face. He didn't feel at all that this visit to the county town was a loss-making business.

On the way to go shopping, Jiang Huaixu bought a sharp dagger in the mall and put it in a cloth bag.

When she returned, she carried several hot flatbreads and a lot of roasted lamb on lotus leaves. On top of the roasted lamb, she sprinkled some remaining five-spice powder and chili powder, even though she had already eaten the ginger in the wontons. Sanlang and Jiang Wei couldn't resist the aroma, and each of them held a piece of cake and stuffed meat with their mouths full of oil.

Uncle Niu devoured the cake and the meat, and then he had time to ask Jiang Huaixu, "Sister Xu, what was sprinkled on that mutton? It's so fragrant!"

"I got them from the grocery store, and I bought all the rest."

Uncle Niu said it was a pity.

After everyone had eaten and drank enough, Jiang Dalang and the other two people arrived belatedly in their bullock cart.

Jiang Wei burped and distributed the remaining cakes and meat to the three of them, while Jiang Sanlang moved the things with a happy face.

Jiang Dalang looked at the things he bought. Although he felt a little distressed, he didn't say anything. After all, they were all for home use.

What's more, when they passed by the butcher's shop, they also bought a lot of meat to eat. Finally, the family looked better, and there was no need to save so much.

"Bring everything up and let's go back. It looks like it's going to rain."

As he said that, several people started to move.

Uncle Niu looked at the bullock cart and couldn't help but sigh that Old Man Jiang was really getting rich.

Although he was envious in his heart, he also stepped forward to lend a hand.

When everything was ready, the Jiang family all sat on the bullock cart. They heard Uncle Niu shouting, and the mule cart and the bullock cart kicked away in tandem.

In the car, Jiang Huaixu was talking quietly to Zheng Liniang. Jiang Erlang touched the sack containing the iron pot, opened it and looked at it.

When he just moved the sack, he felt something was wrong. It was too heavy and there was a clanking sound inside.

"Iron pot?"

He looked up at Jiang Huaixu and met Jiang Huaixu's eyes.

"I bought the iron pot and let my sister-in-law cook it for us to eat. There is also salt, sugar, etc. in it."

Jiang Erlang's eyelids twitched, he sealed the sack again and sat back.

Jiang Huaixu glanced at him several times and saw that he was just eating the cake quietly, so he stopped paying attention.

After walking for about two-quarters of an hour, raindrops began to fall.

The oilcloth and umbrella Jiang Huaixu just bought came in handy immediately.

The people in the car held up oil umbrellas, and the two people driving the car put on oilcloths. Even if it rained heavily, the people in the car were still chatting and laughing, and it was very lively.
