My whole family was in exile, and I relied on my space to buy half of my country.

Chapter 106 Conscription
"No, that's the Song Mansion, General Song's home. It's such an honor to work as a cook in the Song Mansion!"

Ge's mother said regretfully: "If I have a relationship with General Song, I won't be afraid of pirates anymore!"

The Ge family felt sorry for each other, but soon the Ge family recovered from the shock that General Song actually paid a high price to invite Jiang Tangtang to work as a cook in the house, but Jiang Tangtang actually refused, and their attention shifted to what the Lu family wanted. The matter of opening a shop in the county town came up.

"Sister Jiang, is what you just said true? Are your family really planning to open a shop in the county?" Sister-in-law Ge looked at Jiang Tangtang with burning eyes.She couldn't seize the opportunity to work as a cook in the Song family, so she couldn't let go of the opportunity to work as a helper in the Lu family shop!
Jiang Tangtang said: "There is such a plan!"

"Then your family needs to hire someone to open a shop?" Sister-in-law Ge Er said, "What do you think of me?"

Not to mention Sister-in-law Ge, Sister-in-law Ge, who was always calm, also looked at Jiang Tangtang expectantly.

It's true that you need to invite people, but in the food business, you are most afraid of someone having bad intentions or something.

She didn't know the Ge family very well. Now she not only had conflicts with Baiweizhai, but also might have offended Song Zongbing. Jiang Tangtang didn't dare to just accept it, but changed the subject and said, "I remember you have winter melon and taro at home. , do you want to sell it?"

"It's for sale!" Sister-in-law Ge said enthusiastically.

Jiang Tangtang said: "I wonder how Mrs. Ge plans to sell it?"

Baiweizhai learned how to make a few snacks such as cat ears and glutinous rice sticks, but he never learned how to make winter melon candies and egg yolk cakes.

Jiang Tangtang plans to continue doing these two things after the shop opens, and add taro slices as well.

"One penny for taro costs two catties, and one penny for winter melon costs three catties." Sister-in-law Ge was a little nervous when she said it. After all, taro and winter melon are both heavy items.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Tangtang agreed immediately after hearing this and said, "Okay, this is the price. As long as the quality is good, I will take any amount."

Hearing what Jiang Tangtang said, Mrs. Ge suddenly became interested.

Winter melon and taro are not precious things in farmers. Most of the time, they don't like to eat these two foods, but they just want to save food, so they often eat them with whole grains.

But if these two things can be exchanged for money, who would care about eating those things.

And she remembered that her parents’ family also harvested a lot of winter melons and taros this year. She went to collect them and sell them to Jiang Tangtang. Not only could she help her parents’ family, but she could also make a fortune from them.

After Sister Ge repeatedly confirmed that Jiang Tangtang's purchase was huge, she no longer bothered to pester Jiang Tangtang about recruiting workers in the shop.

Sister-in-law Ge still wanted to ask, but Sister-in-law Ge called her to go back to the cellar to pick up winter melons and taro.

Jiang Tangtang collected hundreds of kilograms of winter melon and taro in one go. While maintaining the relationship between the two families, he also purchased a large amount of ingredients for the shop.

She felt happy and decided to make some snacks first to feel happy.

Making taro slices is easy, just cut it into thin slices, fry it in a pan, and then sprinkle with salt, pepper and other seasonings.

The job of cutting taro slices was naturally left to Lu Shiyan.

His hands were clean and slender, big hands that could be used to shoot advertisements in modern times. He was holding a heavy kitchen knife in his left hand and pressing the taro with his right hand. In the blink of an eye, a taro became evenly thick in his hand. of flakes.

That speed is simply faster than a machine.Quality, even better than slicers.The key is how the person standing in front of the stove looks pleasing to the eye.

He lost some weight, but his features became more profound and handsome.The eyebrows are sharp, the nose is straight, the body is tall and straight...

Jiang Tangtang was fascinated by it unconsciously. *
On the other side, Butler Song went to see General Song angrily.

But when he saw Mr. Song, he was not as arrogant as when he was at the Lu family. Instead, he praised her very sincerely: "Sir, that Jiang is indeed a talent. When I went there, I didn't know what she was doing in the room. When I ate, the taste was so delicious that I almost couldn’t hold back and swallowed my tongue.”

General Song had a smile on his face, but Butler Song had just finished his compliments and sighed: "It's a pity that her husband is very strict and refuses to let her come to the house to be a cook! I've already driven to Qianliang The price was up, but he remained unmoved.”

The smile on General Song's face suddenly disappeared. Butler Song looked at him with a sense of pride in his heart, but on his face he said with regret: "If there was a cook like Jiang in the house, the old lady's appetite would definitely be better. "

"No one is here, what's the use of talking nonsense?" Song Zongbing said with a gloomy face.

Butler Song hurriedly knelt on the ground to apologize. After slapping himself hard on the face several times, he came up with an idea and said, "Sir, to put it mildly, the reason why Mr. Jiang refused to come to the house to be a cook is because It's because her man is causing trouble. As long as the man in her family is dealt with, why doesn't she, a weak woman, quickly find a way to find a backer? "

The confidants on the side saw General Song frowning and said nothing. They were worried that he would not be able to save his face and embarrass the Lu family for a cook, so they hurriedly said: "Sir, we have lost a lot of money fighting pirates this time. Is it time to recruit troops?"

"Has the casualty list been reported?" Song Zongbing asked.

Wu Zhouquan said: "This time, 38 people were seriously injured, 54 died, and more than 200 people were slightly injured. In addition to the old veterans who should retire, it is time for the camp to recruit troops."

General Song nodded and said to him: "You will handle the recruitment yourself!"

Soon, the recruitment notice was posted.

When the people in Zhounanzhuang heard the news, they suddenly wailed, "The pirates just left, they were killed today, why are we recruiting troops again!"

"Is this still a way for people to survive?"

……

After wailing and complaining, those who had the conditions began to look for ways to see if there was any way to escape the conscription.

Manager Xia was naturally the first to find a way out, planning to let his sons avoid military service.But he didn't expect that all the roads that could be taken before would not work this time.

This time the conscription not only stipulates that every household with a male must send one man to serve in the military, but it also does not allow people to donate money to buy a replacement.

Wang Wachun looked at Manager Xia worriedly and said, "Dad, what's going on? In the past, you could spend money to buy someone to do the conscription, why can't you do it this time?"

Manager Xia shook his head and sighed: "I didn't find out the specifics of what happened. I only heard that this was a special instruction from the superiors. This time the recruitment cannot be done through scheming."

"What should we do? Are we really going to send our children to serve as soldiers?" Wang Lachun couldn't help but wipe his tears. "Isn't that going to die?"

Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Wang also secretly wiped away their tears.

Xia Zhirong looked at his wife who was wiping her tears, and then at his parents who were in trouble, and took the initiative to stand up and said: "Dad, let me go!"

"Brother, I'd better go!" Xia Zhigui said.

"What are you going to do? You haven't gotten married yet." Xia Zhirong patted his shoulder and said, "You stay at home and marry a wife so that your parents can feel at ease."
