The journey of giving birth to a son

Chapter 35 Jiang Hui’s thoughts
Jiang Shiyi was walking on the road, and the rising sun stretched her shadow very long.

Jiang Hui followed his sister, head drooped, as they walked to Zhiya Academy, carrying the schoolbag Shen Yunniang made for him.

The matter of sending a younger brother who doesn't like to go to school is a difficult problem both in ancient times and now. Shen Yunniang left this problem to her.

"Sister, what will you do if I go to study? I know you like cooking but don't like washing dishes. Who will wash the dishes in the future?"

Jiang Shiyi was thinking if you could stop talking, he had been talking non-stop since last night.

"Sister, you let me live in the academy. What should you do if you miss me? What should I do if I miss you?"

Jiang Shiyi wanted you to shut up! I'm going to hit you while you're talking. It's better to hit your brother as early as possible.

"Sister, what should I do if the food in the academy doesn't suit my taste? Sister... I'm already such an old man, so it's not suitable for me to study!"

It seemed to everyone on the road that Jiang Shiyi wanted to stop his mouth, but she could only cover her ears.

When he reached the door of the academy, Jiang Hui actually hugged the pillar at the door and looked at her pitifully, "Sister, you spent a lot of money on me to study, right? But I'm really not good at studying! You have to think carefully, you How much money does it cost to make a mooncake? And I spent so much money studying."

"Brother, it's not easy to get into this academy. I've explained the truth clearly to you. Isn't it important to study for fame and fame, but to understand it clearly?"

Jiang Shiyi finished speaking patiently and pushed him in.

Jiang Hui walked into the classroom with his head drooped.

Jiang Shiyi breathed a sigh of relief. This academy was really expensive, eighty taels of silver a year, not including books, accommodation, and clothing.

Reading is always a big expense.

It took a lot of effort to get into this academy. The master thought Jiang Hui was too old. Normal children start their education at the age of four.

Jiang Hui was initiated by Shen Yunniang when he was in the countryside. At that time, there were not very good conditions. He just read some books, such as "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Classic". Later, he went to the county academy to read "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius". .

The master was a little disdainful that a woman could become enlightened. Jiang Shiyi tried hard to persuade the master, but the master agreed to take a test.

Since Jiang Hui had memorized the Four Books, the Master asked him to teach him how to write eight-legged essay.

Eight-part essay first learns to write the two or three sentences that "break the question", practice breaking the question, and then add step by step the following title, original title, novel, and pairs of text, until you can write a complete seven-part article. An eight-hundred-word eight-part article.

Jiang Hui's current level is that he can write a few sentences on "breaking questions", but many at his age have passed the boy test.

Later, the master took a test on "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", which was about a chicken and a rabbit in the same cage. This was not a problem for him. After all, Jiang Hui followed her in small business and was very good at arithmetic.

The Master frowned.

Jiang Shiyi begged, "Sir, there is no difference in education."

Finally, the Master said, "Let's try reading first! If you can't pass the exam, you should study hard."

After Jiang Hui was sent to the academy, Jiang Shiyi breathed a sigh of relief and walked quickly to West Street. Half a month after the New Year, Jiang Shiyi chose a shop here with the help of Agent Chen.

The shop is a house with a front shop and a backyard. It was originally used as a restaurant. However, the previous owner did not manage the business well and could not earn the rent, so he simply returned to his hometown to farm.

Jiang Shiyi roughly measured it. The area is about more than 100 square meters. There is plenty of space for eight tables. The tables and chairs are all left by the previous tenant. They are all well maintained and are 70% to 80% new. , wipe it clean, which saves a lot of additional costs.

The kitchen was enlarged according to her wishes. There are three or four stoves alone, which can be used for frying and frying at the same time. It is enough for the time being. Several rooms in the backyard can be used as warehouses for the hired workers to live in later. The empty space in the middle and the backyard can be used as warehouses, where donkey carts can be accommodated.

There is a separate door in the backyard, so you can drive in directly to unload goods, ensuring the diversion of passengers and goods, keeping busy but not chaotic.

The advantage of having a shop is that you can cook something decent, and guests can dine slowly inside. And when the weather is good, you can also add a few tables and chairs at the door, and move the pots and stoves out, which immediately means you have several more people without paying extra taxes. stall and the room is clean and refreshing.

The most important thing is that there are grain shops, fish shops, academies, grocery stores, bookstores, silk and satin shops around... so you don't have to worry about the number of customers.

Therefore, this shop is very popular, and many people frequently inquire about it.

If it hadn't been for Agent Chen's introduction, she wouldn't have been able to rent such a good shop.

One thing is that the owner of the house is said to be the dowry of the wife of the clan of this dynasty. Jiang Shiyi has met the old lady. It is said that she has an imperial edict, and she looks arrogant and difficult to deal with.

Jiang Shiyi was afraid of getting into trouble. Manager Chen made sure that the clan had status and would take reputation into consideration in everything. With a black and white letter, there would be no trouble.

Jiang Shiyi walked in, and Jiang Kejian cleaned the shop thoroughly.

After the New Year, Jiang Shiyi asked Jiang Kejian to quit his job and help her purchase cheap vegetables and meat from farmers. Jiang Kejian agreed. He also saw that his daughter would make money. Besides, after all, she was just a girl, running a restaurant and leaving early. He was also worried about returning home late.

Jiang Shiyi also wants Shen Yunniang to come back to help him. Shen Yunniang feels that she is already doing her job very smoothly. Let's see again in a while! "

Jiang Kejian chopped a lot of firewood and brought it in.

Jiang Shiyi was cooking in front of the stove. She had already figured out that this restaurant was going to be a buffet, and its main focus was high quality, low price, large quantity, and affordable.

The meals are all ready-made, and guests who come to eat do not have to wait. They can just pick out their favorite meals, put them on a plate and take them to the table to eat.

This saves labor.

It was almost noon, Jiang Shiyi had cooked all the dishes, and Jiang Kejian helped bring them out.

Neatly arranged in two rows, the meat dishes include braised pork ribs, roasted meatballs, bacon with garlic sprouts, couple's lung slices, minced sour beans...

Vegetarian dishes include mapo tofu, cold fungus, stir-fried cabbage, fungus bean sprouts, five-spice celery, cabbage vermicelli, mushrooms and rapeseed... Malatang...

Yes, you read it right, Malatang, the leftovers of all the dishes are boiled together, and the hot pot base stir-fried by Shen Yunniang, this dish is the most labor-saving.

Pastries include Dingsheng cake, almond cake, mung bean cake, sesame seed cake, and scallion roll. There are also many people in the North who like to eat pasta.

The white rice is cooked and put in a large wooden barrel. It is fragrant. There is a large barrel next to it with egg drop soup.

The first two pots were filled with the main dishes that opened today, a handful of meat and a stewed pig's feet with soybeans. They looked red, oily, trembling, and very attractive.

Jiang Kejian was very pleased that his daughter was really capable.

Jiang Shiyi put a sign outside, "Buffet, ten cents per person."

The capital is at the feet of the emperor and is relatively wealthy. Even if you just go out and work for a day, you can earn one or two hundred cash. This price is still acceptable.
