The Yamen was not a good place either, so Jiang Li and Song Yulin did not stay long.

But as soon as they walked out the door, they saw a group of people galloping past them.

The carriage didn't move very fast along the way, but one could feel the atmosphere on the street becoming tense.

Jiang Li said to Song Yulin: "You can go back. There is no need to send him away. I can go back by myself."

"What I just told you on the way, you should also tell Mr. Song when you get back. No matter whether it is true or not, it is right to be prepared for precautions."

Jiang Li told Song Yulin about the possible infiltration of rebels into the city.

Although the Song family is rich and powerful, they will know about it sooner or later, but knowing some things a quarter of an hour earlier or a quarter of an hour later will have different effects.

Just think of it as a reward for the Song family's busy work for them these days.

Song Yulin was a little worried, but Jiang Lei's attitude was tough, so he had no choice but to return home with his entourage.

The news Jiang Li told him was indeed important.

I just heard two days ago that his mother was going to a temple outside the city to offer incense!

If the rebels are really preparing to attack Yunzhou City, it is obviously very dangerous to go out now.

When Song Yulin went out today, he saw that the housekeeper seemed to be arranging a carriage. He didn't know if her mother had gone out?

After saying goodbye to Jiang Lei, Song Yulin hurried towards the mansion.

Jiang Li went to a banker to exchange the two hundred taels of silver into broken silver, and then got on the carriage and returned to the village.

Since the business was going to be temporarily closed, Jiang Baishu and Tieniu also asked Zhang Wu to help find the master of the academy to take a leave of absence for a while.

When Jiang Li returned home, the two were playing in the pig farm.

Jiang Baishu is a little older, but Tieniu is attracting cats and dogs in the pig farm.

This caused the pigs, ducks and geese in the pig farm to fly everywhere.

It wasn't until he heard the news of Jiang Li's return that Tieniu was urgently taken out of the pig pen by Jiang Baishu.

But he had already stepped on pig manure and it stank.

As soon as Jiang Li came in, she frowned. Mr. Jiang, who was helpless with Tie Niu, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Tie Niu drooped his head.

"Although you don't have to go to the academy, you must not fall behind in your study progress. I will ask Uncle Zhang to make up for you two tonight. The same goes for your homework. Uncle Zhang will assign it to you."

Tieniu suddenly raised his head and looked at Jiang Li in surprise, and now his head really drooped.

Jiang Li ignored the sadness in the little kid's eyes.

After telling Mr. Jiang about the silver reward from the government, he and his grandson went to Yu Chonghui's house together and handed the silver reward to Yu Chonghui, who would distribute it.

"Originally, I was given twenty ingots of silver. I took it to the bank and exchanged it for broken silver, so that I could keep some of it."

Jiang Li explained.

Yu Zhonghui nodded repeatedly, "Thank you for your hard work, Ah Li."

The two hundred taels of silver also included Lu Quan and Zeng Daniu.

Yu Zhonghui summoned the people who went to the mountain last time that afternoon. Except for Lu Quan and Zeng Daniu from Zhaojia Village, everyone else was present.

Each person was given four taels of silver and four hundred coins. Lu Quan and Zeng Daniu's share was handed over to the Jiang family for delivery.

The villagers who got the money cheered happily.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Li warned everyone again, "Those hills are quite close to our village. We will destroy those people's dens for fear that the other party will come to retaliate. If you hear something when you sleep at night, You have to pay attention to the movement.”

As soon as Jiang Li said these words, everyone seemed to be strangled by the neck, and their voices suddenly became mute.

At this time, the crowd asked, "Now that rebels have been discovered on the nearby hills, can the caves we found earlier still be used?"

Mentioning this, everyone suddenly felt a bit bitter in their throats. After making so many preparations, I am afraid that now they have failed.

Jiang Li pursed her lips, "It's better to be prepared and keep an eye on the situation in the city at all times."

No one expected things to come to this point, but it would be better to find out now than to mobilize the whole village and move in.

By then, even if they are all controlled by the rebels, no one outside will be able to find out. This will really make the sky unresponsive and the earth unresponsive.

"Once rebels really come to Yunzhou, we will move away immediately. By then, the rebels may not care about a small village like ours."

Things have come to this, and that's all.

In the dull atmosphere, everyone dispersed and headed home.

Jiang Li returned to the pig farm, and this time Tieniu and Jiang Baishu were reading and doing homework under the eaves.

Zhang Sheng saw that Jiang Li had finished her work and sat down, so he came to report to Jiang Li about the business of the shops in the city and the situation of the pig farm during her absence.

More than half of June has passed, and the shop's braised pork business income is 20% less than last month.

Moreover, the weather is bad, and even the pigs are not eating well. The pigs in the pig farm need to be weighed every five days, and a dozen pigs have lost three or four kilograms compared to the end of May.

Jiang Li thought for a while, "Those pigs that have lost weight, take advantage of our closure for the past few days and slaughter the pigs."

Zhang Sheng said with some disapproval: "The weather is so hot now and we are closed again. If this pig is slaughtered, it will not be easy to make bacon."

Jiang Li raised her eyebrows slightly, "Who said I want to make bacon?"

Zhang Sheng was speechless and couldn't think of a better way to preserve bacon than bacon.

Seeing this, Jiang Li explained: "Our pork happens to be relatively lean, so I plan to make pork floss."

Zhang Sheng had never heard of meat floss. Looking at his confused look, Jiang Li said, "Let's try making it today. Once we can make it, we can kill the pigs."

After hearing this, Zhang Sheng nodded in agreement.

Although he is the steward of the Jiang family, he does not just listen to his master's words. He must also put forward his own opinions and opinions when necessary, otherwise just anyone can be the steward.

Jiang Li wrote down the recipe for meat floss and asked Zhang Sheng to find someone to start preparing it.

Then Zhang Sheng came back and continued to report to Jiang Li about the sweet potato noodles she had made at home before she left. When she heard that they were all finished, Jiang Li remembered this.

"This is not bad! Three hundred and fifty-eight pounds is quite good. One pound of dry vermicelli can be soaked into about two or three pounds of wet vermicelli."

Two kilograms of dried vermicelli is enough to feed their whole family, including Zhang Sheng and his family.

Although it is far less durable than sweet potatoes, eating too much sweet potatoes can cause heartburn and pantothenic acidosis.

Jiang Li taught Zhang Chan another way to make powdered skin.

With chili oil, minced garlic, dried radish, chopped green onion, soy sauce and other seasonings, it tastes more refreshing than sesame sauce, so it's perfect for summer.

That night, there was an extra basin of vermicelli on the dining table.

Although it was agreed that business would be suspended starting tomorrow, Mr. Jiang was still a little worried, "Many people came to ask today when will the business be opened?"
