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

Chapter 235 The Stream is Running Dry
The dish that Old Lady Jiang wanted to add for the craftsmen was pig’s head!
The pork head should be braised one day in advance.

After Mrs. Jiang came up with this idea, she asked her housekeeper to send someone to the West Market to buy as much pig offal as possible.

When Old Mrs. Jiang came back with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter, the housekeeper also came back.

In total, I bought ten pairs of pig offal.

Ten sets were not enough for more than a hundred craftsmen. Seeing these things, Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but feel troubled.

Jiang Yunjin also happened to see the things being unloaded from the carriage, so he knew that the pig offal he had bought had arrived, but...

She looked at the old lady quietly and found that she was frowning and had a hint of sadness on her face.

Seeing this scene, she walked up without hesitation to ask the reason, and learned that they bought too little pig offal and were worried that there would not be enough to add more dishes.

She thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be such a small matter.

"Grandma, these are just small matters. Just clean them up first and make a cold dish tomorrow. Um...it won't be too late to send it over after they get off work in the afternoon!"

What she wanted to make was a dish of cold pork head!

Cold-boiled pork head is the best dish to go with wine. It is fine to eat it at noon, but it will lose some of the fun. But if you eat it at night and drink a little wine, I believe the craftsmen will be very happy to do so.

After making up her mind, Jiang Yunjin began to get busy. She watched the whole process step by step, fearing that there would be any mistakes.

There are not enough pots at home, so I have to cook it in batches. When it’s done, put it into a clean wooden barrel before continuing to cook the next pot.

By the time all ten sets of offal were cooked, it was already dark.

After a busy day, the Jiang family had no appetite, so they asked Aunt Zhou to make some delicious cold dishes. Jiang Yunjin taught them how to make these cold dishes.

After dinner, the whole family sat in the front yard to enjoy the cool air. When they talked about things in the fields, they couldn't help but mention the fertile fields on the farm.

At present, almost all the fields here are ready for planting rice, not to mention the farm.

Right now their only concern is whether there is water.

Finally, it was the old lady who made the final decision and asked Boss Jiang to go to the farm tomorrow to take a look.

Seeing this, Jiang Yunjin naturally wanted to go with her father, and Old Mrs. Jiang had no choice but to agree.

only…

Going to the farm was unplanned, but she was worried if Boss Jiang went alone. She would not feel at ease if she did not see with her own eyes how the rice seedlings grew, not to mention...

These rice seedlings mean a lot to her.

Then she would have to plan all her time tomorrow carefully.

The family chatted for a while before leaving one after another and going back to their rooms to rest.

The next day.

Jiang Yunjin got up early, and while the Jiang family members were still asleep, he told the housekeeper to go to the shop and bring back a large box of cucumbers that he bought every day.

The butler received the task, but felt uneasy about handing it over to someone else, so he went to the shop himself. After all, he knew everyone in the shop.

It takes less than half a quarter of an hour to get from Taoyuan Village to the capital city. Including the journey to the shop, the round trip is about half an hour.

When Jiang Yunjin finished his breakfast, the housekeeper came back in a carriage, and on the carriage were the fresh cucumbers that had just been bought from the shop.

After the cucumbers were unloaded, the Jiang family members also gathered around and looked at the scene, obviously somewhat confused.

Jiang Yunjin didn't say much. Instead, he picked up two of them, held them in his arms, and went straight to find Aunt Zhou.

Arriving at the back kitchen, Aunt Zhou and the others were eating. When she saw Jiang Yunjin coming, she stood up quickly and wiped the corners of her mouth casually, "Why are you here, Miss? What snacks would you like to eat?"

Aunt Zhou knew that her daughter loved cakes, and when she saw her daughter coming at this time, the only thing she thought of was eating cakes. Unexpectedly, when Jiang Yunjin heard this, he shook his head at Aunt Zhou, and casually handed the two cucumbers in his arms to the cook beside him, asking her to wash them.

"Aunt Zhou, today I will tell you how to make cold pork head..."

There is no special skill in making cold-mixed pork head. If you have to say there is a skill, it would probably be the adaptability of the seasonings.

One point more or one point less will affect the taste.

Fortunately, Aunt Zhou was very talented. She did what she was told and soon prepared a dish of cold-mixed pork head.

After tasting it, Jiang Yunjin couldn't help but give Aunt Zhou a thumbs up.

"It's delicious. I'll make the salad this afternoon in the same way!"

"Okay, girl, don't worry!"

Aunt Zhou was praised by her eldest daughter. She giggled, covered her cheeks and went to the side to busy herself.

Jiang Yunjin ordered the maid to bring the cold-mixed pork head to the front yard.

When the Jiang family saw that there was fresh food, they couldn't help but gather around.

Jiang Yunjin gave a brief introduction and then hurriedly left with Boss Jiang.

This time, Jiang Yunjin only brought a maid with her, and Boss Jiang drove the carriage straight to the manor.

Zhuangzi is not far from the village, but it takes about a quarter of an hour to get there by horse-drawn carriage.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Manager Xu, who had received the news, came hurriedly from the manor.

"Master, Miss, you are finally here! The rice seedlings in the field are growing very well, but I don't know when we can plant them!"

Manager Xu wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. He had originally planned to go to the capital city these days just to ask about this matter, but he didn't expect that someone would come.

"Let's go to the fields and take a look first."

Boss Jiang said in a deep voice.

After saying that, he took the lead and walked ahead, heading towards the fields not far away.

He has not seen the actual situation yet, so he dare not jump to conclusion.

Soon, the group arrived at the edge of the field. Looking at the rice seeds growing very well, they couldn't hide their excitement, but...

When they came to the stream nearby, the smiles on their faces instantly disappeared, and they even looked a little distressed.

"Master, I don't know what happened these days. Not only has the stream become less, but the riverbed has been exposed in some places. Even in the places that are not exposed, there is a foul smell. It is not as clear as before!"

When Manager Xu talked about this matter, he felt very troubled. He also sent people to find out the reason, but found nothing.

"Where does this river lead to?"

Jiang Yunjin looked carefully at the stream in front of her. Looking from her position, she felt that she could not see the end of it.

"Originally this stream did not exist, but later it was bought by the Prime Minister, who mined the land and dug a waterway from the moat specifically for irrigating the land. This leads to a lake not far ahead."

"The stream is running water, the blocked part is on the other side of the moat..."

Manager Xu seemed to be hesitant to speak here.

If it was in the hands of the Prime Minister before, they could go directly to check it out with the Prime Minister's Mansion token.

Now that their new master's family are all civilians, the usual methods are naturally not feasible.

Manager Xu didn't know about Jiang Yunjin's relationship with the Criminal Justice Department.
