Chapter 55 Bad breath
"Okay, I don't want the weather to turn cold, so I want to buy some thick ones." Jiang Tuge nodded, but it was hard for the landlady to still remember her.

"My wife has lost a lot of weight this month. Look, even this new dress is a lot looser!" The landlady couldn't stop praising her. If she hadn't remembered her voice, she really wouldn't have recognized her.

"Not to mention, your face has become much more handsome now that you have lost weight. You see, you are much better than those people."

Jiang Tuge followed his gaze and saw her melon-shaped face gradually emerging in the bronze mirror. Her big eyes were indeed a beauty.

As the saying goes, everyone has a love for beauty.Jiang Tuge was originally here to buy ingredients, but he instantly became happy when the landlady praised him like this.

Jiang Tuge picked out some cloth like last time, but this time there was more cotton.Cotton-padded clothes are the most cold-resistant, and their family will not be cold this winter.

Just when she was about to pay, Jiang Tuge simply bought another horse suitable for men.Although He Peng and her did not deal with each other, they were dragged down by the original owner after all.

After paying the money, Jiang Tuge had just stepped out the door when he heard the landlady sighing.Jiang Tuge didn't understand. The last time she came to buy something, this woman was still happy.

Curiosity drove her to turn around, "Dare I ask you, what's wrong with you? You look listless, but are you in trouble?"

Hearing this, the landlady's face was full of sadness, "To tell you the truth, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue my business. Over the years, the styles in the store have become more and more old-fashioned, and naturally fewer and fewer people come."

Jiang Tuge raised his eyebrows slightly, it turned out to be because of this incident.Since there is such a good opportunity, why doesn't she recommend herself? "Boss lady, why don't you find someone to help you change the style!"

"Of course I have thought about it. It's just that in this world, whoever has money is the boss. The wages here are not high, so those embroiderers who can draw patterns will naturally refuse to come." The landlady waved her hands, unwilling to continue.

Jiang Tuge chuckled, "What do you think of me?"

"You?" The landlady was stunned for a moment. It wasn't that she couldn't trust Jiang Tuge, but the way Jiang Tuge dressed last time showed that she was from the country.

How could she know the styles that people in this city like?When the time comes, it will be self-defeating and she will have to close the door.Jiang Tuge noticed her doubts, so he simply took a piece of paper and pen and sat there to draw.

Soon, she drew a lifelike phoenix.In this era, no one painted animals on cloth.

"Madam, are you painting a phoenix?" The boss's hands were trembling.

Jiang Tuge nodded, she knew this ancient taboo, this phoenix was just to attract the attention of the landlady.

"Madam, can you draw some other styles?" The landlady seemed to suddenly see hope.

After he finished speaking, Jiang Tuge drew a few more pictures.Are there landscape paintings or some strange flowers?There are even bamboo ones.

Jiang Tuge told the landlady the appropriate colors for each style, and the landlady was also quick.She hurriedly started making it on the cloth.

As a result, she was very satisfied with Jiang Tuge's painting.

"Madam, can you sell all these paintings to me? It's just that I don't have much to offer, how about one tael of silver each?" The proprietress spoke a little cautiously, fearing that Jiang Tuge wouldn't be happy to take it back.

Jiang Tuge really didn't expect this price.She originally thought she would be lucky to be able to earn back the money she had just spent on the seeds with these paintings.

Seeing that Jiang Tuge remained silent, the landlady thought she disliked the low price, "Madam, if you think the price is not appropriate, I can add more."

"No need!" Jiang Tuge waved his hand, "I have never painted anyone's style, so I just do what the lady says." Hearing this, the landlady smiled a little more on her face and took five taels of silver and handed it to her. Jiang Tuge said, "Thank you, madam. This is my wages."

"Okay, then I'll go ahead!" Jiang Tuge didn't refuse. After all, she wasn't a rich person either.

"Sister, don't mind if I call you this. Come to my place if you have nothing to do in the future, but be sure to remember!" The landlady's attitude became more cordial, calling each girl one after another.

"Okay!" Jiang Tuge agreed. Did she have any grudge against Qian?

Thinking about the two children at home who had not eaten, Jiang Tuge glanced at the long queue of stalls.She took a closer look and saw that it was a fried bun.

The browned outer skin wraps up the filling inside, and every bite is watery.

"Boss, fill me with six-cage steamed buns!" Jiang Tuge's voice attracted everyone's attention.

"Six cages?" The boss was a little surprised. He had never seen anyone buying buns like this.

Jiang Tuge nodded. With so many people in the family, one cage is enough for each person. "Why don't you sell it? If you don't sell it, I'll leave!"

The boss hurriedly called her, and then packed it quickly.Jiang Tuge paid and put the other four cages into the space, leaving only one cage in the bamboo basket.

As Jiang Tuge approached the carriage, a pleasant scent of oil floated in the air.

"From the Si family, what kind of delicious food did you buy again? Is it so delicious?" Old Uncle Zhang couldn't help but ask. After all, Jiang Tuge always gained something he didn't expect every time he came to Shangcun.

Jiang Tuge was never stingy when it came to Old Zhang. She took out the buns she had prepared in advance and handed them to Old Zhang with oil paper.

"It turned out to be fried buns. Why are they so delicious? It's from the Si family. It's not delicious to bring such good stuff home!"

Jiang Tuge smiled and said, "You can eat it. I will take Si Shuo and Si Jin with me when I come back to the village in a few days."

Si Shuo, Si Jin?Old Uncle Zhang looked puzzled. Why had he never heard of these two names?
"I forgot to tell you, my husband named the children a few days ago. Dabao's name is Si Shuo, and Xiaobao's name is Si Jin."

"They are also old. If they always call them by nicknames, they will be laughed at in the future."

Old Uncle Zhang's eyes were full of relief, "Si family, your aunt and I are relieved that you have such a heart. Yesterday, your aunt said that Dabao has grown a lot taller, and your contribution must be part of this."

Jiang Tuge nodded, with sincerity in his eyes, "Yes, I just hope that the two of them can grow up safely and in good health."

I don’t know if it’s because she lost weight. This time she came to Shangcun, she always felt that her buttocks were a little numb.The journey was bumpy, and finally the carriage stopped when Jiang Tuge could no longer bear it.

Before she had even taken two steps, Mrs. Zhang's voice came over, "Si family, are you going to Shangcun again? I see that you are going to Shangcun more and more frequently. You are really a waste of money."

Jiang Tuge had a look of disdain on her face. If she went to Shangcun, would she lose her fortune?According to her opinion, wouldn't her Granny Zhang be even better?
"Mrs. Zhang, I think you have bad breath again!"
