A lucky koi fish was found while escaping from famine, and the whole family became prosperous

Chapter 229 Pull

Ever since the Jiang family bought servants, the village has become much quieter, and even the people who usually took detours have disappeared.

Old Mrs. Jiang learned the news from Old Mrs. Qian.

When Old Lady Qian talked about this, she laughed so hard that she fell forward and backward, and said that Old Lady Jiang missed the fearful expressions of those people.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jiang simply smiled indifferently, and was extremely satisfied with the villagers' reactions.

After some gossip, Old Lady Jiang kept Old Lady Qian and specially invited her and her family to come over as guests.

Old Mrs. Qian originally wanted to refuse, but she couldn't refuse in the end, so she had to agree.

Since none of my sons are at home right now, I had no choice but to ask them to come over for dinner.

As soon as Old Lady Qian left, Jiang Yunjin also came from the backyard, followed by four maids.

"Xiao Yunjin is here. Are these maids easy to use?"

Old Mrs. Jiang looked at the little girl with a smile, picked up a wet handkerchief, walked to the little girl, and carefully wiped the mud off the little girl's face.

When Jiang Yunjin heard this, he immediately told her about praising the maids and also mentioned about giving them names.

After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang did not have any objection. She just said it was a good start and then briefly told her about Mrs. Qian's visit just now. At the end she added that she would treat Mrs. Qian and her family to dinner in the evening.

Jiang Yunjin had no objection to this, but instead agreed very much.

During the days when they were not at home, it was Old Mrs. Qian who helped take care of the vegetable garden at home, so it was only natural for her to invite them to dinner.

Speaking of treating someone to a meal, Jiang Yunjin started thinking about what to eat. Then she greeted the old lady and went into the kitchen.

At this moment, the cook and two maids were busy picking vegetables in the kitchen, planning to cook some dishes for dinner.

The cook has to prepare meals for her master before she cooks for the servants in the house.

When Jiang Yunjin arrived, she interrupted the busy work of the cook and the maids.

"Aunt Zhou, what are you going to cook tonight?"

The cook’s surname is Zhou.

When Aunt Zhou heard the eldest girl's words, there was still a bit of panic on her face. She suddenly remembered what the housekeeper had just said, and hurriedly spoke.

"To answer the eldest lady's question, Steward Jiang just said that the old lady will host a banquet for distinguished guests tonight, and the food should be more expensive. I wrote some, but I haven't shown it to the old lady yet."

As Aunt Zhou spoke, she picked up a piece of paper from the chopping board beside her and handed it to Jiang Yunjin.

Jiang Yunjin looked down and found that most of the names written on the paper were names she had never heard of.

What a ray of red on emerald jade, what a clear wave.

The name was special, but it was a little different from the ones she usually knew.

Thinking of this, she orally told Aunt Zhou several delicious recipes so that she could make them.

I even asked the other party to make a special dish.

It was also the first time Aunt Zhou heard of these things. She remembered that she was a little flustered, but she managed to write them down in the end.

Soon Aunt Zhou and two maids started to get busy.

During this period, Jiang Yunjin stayed in the kitchen, giving advice to the other party from time to time, fearing that something was not done well.

After Jiang Yunjin's guidance, Aunt Zhou, who was originally a little flustered, gradually got the hang of it quickly.

Jiang Yunjin waited until Aunt Zhou was almost done with her work before leaving the kitchen and heading straight to the front yard to look for Old Madam Jiang. On the way, she saw Chunyu, who had been sent to look for her.

"But Grandma Qian is here?"

When she was busy in the kitchen just now, she deliberately left the four maids behind. Now that the spring rain was coming, her first thought was that guests had arrived. "To answer the young lady, Old Madam Qian is here. She specifically asked me to invite you to the front yard."

Chunyu bowed his head as he spoke.

Jiang Yunjin had expected this.

She nodded, said nothing, and went straight to the front yard with Chunyu.

Before she reached the front yard, she heard a noisy sound. She didn't feel unhappy at all, but instead felt a little nostalgic.

She recalled the time when the whole family lived together and there were all kinds of laughter and joy.

Shaking the unrealistic thought in her little head, she straightened her mindset and continued walking towards the front yard.

As soon as he entered the yard, he called out to the familiar old man in a friendly manner.

"Grandma Qian, you're here!"

"Oh, this must be Xiao Yunjin. I've been busy these past two days and didn't have time to come and see you. Now that I take a closer look, you look even more delicate and beautiful."

Old Mrs. Qian smiled and took out a small gift that she had prepared early in the morning. It was specially for Jiang Yunjin.

Jiang Yunjin did not take it immediately. Instead, she looked at Old Lady Jiang with a questioning look. Only after the other party nodded did she reach out to take it.

After Old Lady Qian spoke up, the three daughters-in-law who came with her also began to praise the little girl in front of them.

Until the little girl blushed due to the praise, the appearance of housekeeper Jiang successfully eased the little girl's embarrassment.

"Madam, the food is ready."

After Butler Jiang finished speaking, Old Madam Jiang waved her off.

Turning her head, she spoke to Old Mrs. Qian with a gentle smile on her face.

"Since the food is ready, why not move to the main hall."

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked in front with Old Lady Qian, followed by the Qian family members who looked curious but did not dare to look around.

Jiang Yunjin, who was following behind, saw all of this.

She had a brief understanding of the Qian family's character, and hoped that the decision she made would really help the Qian family.

Thinking of this, she gathered her thoughts and followed the Qian family into the main hall.

Ever since servants were hired, the names of some rooms in the house have become more formal. In the past, they were not called the main hall, but at most the main room.

After entering the house, Jiang Yunjin sat next to Old Lady Jiang, and everyone from the Qian family followed and sat at the big table.

Fortunately, the Jiang family is large and the table is big enough.

As soon as everyone sat down, Butler Jiang and the servants brought the food up.

Smelling the fragrant, glutinous and delicious meat, everyone in the Qian family couldn't help but let out a growling sound in their stomachs.

When Old Mrs. Qian heard the voice, she looked a little embarrassed and almost buried her head even lower, but was finally stopped by Old Mrs. Jiang.

"What's the big deal? You don't even know that a few months ago, our whole family was on the road to escape famine, and we often met people who were hungry and naked! If it weren't for the belief that supported our Jiang family, I'm afraid we would have died halfway."

Old Mrs. Jiang sighed when she said this, but she didn’t tell them that she saw someone who specialized in eating people on the way to Shanghai!
She was afraid that the Qian family would not be able to accept it, so she did not tell anyone about it.

Just hearing these few words from Old Lady Jiang was enough to make the Qian family change their expressions.

flee from famine?

They had never thought about what it was like to flee from famine, nor could they imagine what the situation was like. But when they thought about the first few days when they met the Jiang family, they understood the hardships and sufferings along the way.
