Chapter 63 Consort
Zhao Xiuqiao saw that her girl’s face was turning green with anger, and quickly said, “Second Master, this is the food that the sixth girl dreamed of, and the servant made it for you. Although it looks strange, it tastes good. ”
“It’s your mother again?”
Jiang Liu nodded slowly.
When Wang Shi was alive, he couldn’t see him being comfortable, and he didn’t expect to stop when he died. Jiang Erye stared at the moldy stuff on the plate for a while, sighed a long time, and then stretched out his chopsticks to add a little bit, which was quite disgusting. He took a sniff and put it in his mouth to taste.
…
The taste is heavy and not delicate enough, and it can barely be eaten. Seeing the girl’s eyes waiting to be praised, Jiang Erye can only say, “This time the taste is very unique, it should be good to drink porridge as a side dish.”
Daddy really has a vision! Jiang Liuxiao rolled his eyes, “Yeah!”
Zhao Xiuqiao hurriedly said, “What kind of porridge would the second master and girl want to have at noon today?”
Jiang Erye…
“white-rice-porridge.” Jiang Liu is delighted.
Jiang Ling went to the academy and didn’t come back. At noon, Jiang Erye was furious when he watched his two daughters drink broken rice porridge with rotten meat. Not to mention fish, now even rice porridge can only eat broken rice, blame that ugly woman in Leyang!
Unlike the picky Second Master Jiang, Jiang Muyan thought this rotten dish was delicious. The next morning, except for Mrs. Jiang, the whole family thought it was very delicious.
Especially Jiang Song, who has had a bad appetite recently, even drank an extra bowl of broken rice porridge, “This is very good, very good. Let the kitchen make more today, and I will give it to Master Liu to taste.”
It is hopeless to stay in Beijing. Jiang Song has been working outside for the past few months and wants to find an outside job.
Jiang Huai felt that this rotten meat was much better than custard custard, and it might be able to sell for a big price, so he asked his two brothers to discuss it after the meal.
Er Ye Jiang, who is very picky about the color and fragrance of things, spoke first, “This thing is so indecent that it can’t catch the eyes of diners.”
Jiang Song glared at his second brother, “Do you think everyone is as picky as you? You eat with your mouth, not your eyes!”
Afraid of being scolded by his second brother, Jiang Huai hurriedly scolded the mud, “It’s really unpleasant that this thing is called ‘Rotten Meat’, how about we change it to an elegant name?”
Jiang Song nodded, and said to his second brother with a stern face, “What do you think is a good name?”
“This…” Jiang Erye, who didn’t like to use his brain, raised his finger and scratched his perfectly contoured chin, and turned to look at the third brother.
Jiang Huai immediately said, “This thing is soft, it’s called velvet, how about it?”
“No, velvet is clothing, and the word ‘meat velvet’ makes people feel no appetite.” Jiang Erye voted against.
Jiang Huai was in trouble, “Soft meat, fragrant meat?”
This stuff isn’t fragrant either, Erye Jiang shook his head, and finally remembered something that suits his appetite, “Meat cloud, how’s it going?”
Jiang Huai immediately applauded, “Okay!”
Jiang Song asked back, “Rong is not eaten, but cloud is eaten?”
At least “cloud” sounds better than “velvet”! But Jiang Erye didn’t want to refute the elder brother, so that he would not stop talking, “Then according to the elder brother’s opinion, what is the name?”
Jiang Song really thinks of one, “How about meat crisps?”
“Okay!” Jiang Erye didn’t dare to have an opinion.
“Very good!” Jiang Huaisheng was afraid that he would not agree to be dragged by the elder brother and nagging for a long time, “the name has been decided, the younger brother thinks that we can’t sell meat cakes under the name of Jiang’s family, and we have to work with others. We are in the house. Do it, and then take it to the store to sell it, what do the two brothers think?”
Jiang Song nodded, “This is safe, let the people in the house keep their mouths shut and don’t spread it out.”
Jiang Erye said, “The custard custard last time troubled Yi An, this time I can’t find him again. The third brother went to Bai Zhen and asked him to help find a way.”
“Looking for Third Brother Bai…” Jiang Huai paused. Bai Zhou is the second brother’s drinking friend, his father Xiangyi is waiting for Bai Chengguo, and his first sister enters the palace as Xiuyi. Although the Bai family has deep roots and luxuriant leaves, Bai Zhou is an unloved son of a bitch. He spends all day fighting **** and roaming around. Except for drinking and gambling, Jiang Huai has never heard of Bai Zhou’s other abilities.
Jiang Erye is very sure, “Baizhen has a way, you can go.”
Seeing that the eldest brother did not object, Jiang Huai got up to handle it. Jiang Erye started to count with his fingers. He owed a few people’s favors, and he was worried about how to repay these debts in the future.
Jiang Song looked at the second brother who frowned and clenched his fingers in front of him. He was filled with emotion and couldn’t help but sigh.
Jiang Erye heard the sound, raised his head and asked, “What’s the matter, eldest brother?”
“When making friends, the foolish brother is not as good as you.” The second brother, whom he called “friends of wine and meat”, could reach out when the second brother was in trouble, and his own… Jiang Song couldn’t help but feel sad.
Seeing that the eldest brother is actually for this trouble, Jiang Erye quickly comforted, “The eldest brother and his friends are like the eldest brother in charge of the family business. Naturally, you have to think about everything before and after doing things.
Jiang Song patted his second brother on the shoulder, “I have an appointment with Mr. Liu, it’s time to go.”
Jiang Erye saw that his eldest brother’s legs were almost heavier than Liu’er’s, and he couldn’t bear it, “eldest brother, don’t go to work in a cold place, if you really can’t do it, eldest brother don’t go to be an official. There is no way out of the sky, we have a mansion and a farm. , not hungry.”
Seeing his second brother persuading him so solemnly, Jiang Song felt a lot lighter on his body, “I understand, you are taking care of your mother in the mansion, and I will go back when I go.”
In the evening, after Jiang Huai returned to the house, he excitedly ran to the second brother, “Brother Bai helped lead the Hengsheng firm, and the condition given by the Hengsheng firm was either one hundred taels to buy recipes, or one hundred Fifty cents a pound of meat crisps, and Third Brother Bai helped raise the price to two hundred cents!”
I didn’t expect that some people really liked that thing, Jiang Erye asked, “Is the price right?”
“Suitable!” Jiang Huai gave the second brother a careful calculation, “Lean pork is cheaper than white meat. Buying a lot of it can be worth 20 cents a pound. Three catties of pork yields a pound of crispy meat, and the ingredients and wages are also less than a hundred cents. , that means we can earn a hundred cents for a catty of pork cakes. When the workshop is built, we can earn twenty taels of silver for making two hundred catties of pork cakes a day!”
One day is twenty, and one month is six hundred taels! Jiang Erye’s eyes also lit up, “Can you make two hundred catties a day?”
“Find 20 people, set up ten cauldrons, more than 200 catties a day!” Jiang Huai rubbed his hands excitedly, “After the establishment of this workshop, we will not have to worry about the food in our house! My brother will clean up now. Pack up and go out of Beijing to find a place to build a workshop, and within five days, you will be able to exchange meat for money.”
Jiang Erye was also very happy, “Let’s go and talk to mother!”
Mrs. Jiang was also very happy to receive the letter. After sending Jiang Huai away, the old lady took Jiang Erye’s hand and sighed, “Liu’er has made a great contribution this time, think about how to reward her for your mother.”
Jiang Erye smiled and said, “My mother should give her a few more copper coins during Chinese New Year. There is nothing better than being safe.”
Yes, whether it is for the troubled Jiang family or Liuer who is plagued by a strange illness, what is more important than safety? Mrs. Jiang said softly, “Send someone to the temple to light an ever-bright lamp for Qinghe.”
Jiang Erye frowned, “Mother really thinks that the Wang family taught Liu’er to eat?”
Mrs. Jiang asked back, “It’s not her, can it be you?”
Jiang Erye muttered, “She was not good at making soup when she was alive, how can she be enlightened after death?”
“Yin and Yang are separated, who knows what’s going on over there? Maybe she’s got some kind of good fortune, it’s not a bad thing after all.” Mrs. Jiang said slowly.
Jiang Huai was busy for more than half a month after leaving the house, and brought back more than a hundred taels of silver. The Jiang family was just relieved, but they heard a surprising news:
Princess Leyang wants to recruit Jiang Feng, the second son of the Jiang family, as her consort!
