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

Chapter 54 Entering the city again
The next day.

It's just dawn.

Boss Jiang harnessed the carriage early, and this time he went to the city with only Jiang Laowu and Jiang Yunjin.

There were several empty baskets on the carriage.

This time they go to the capital, they have a heavy mission.

The three of them took the freshly baked pancakes and warm water, got on the carriage and headed for the city.

The sky was slightly bright, and there were not many people in the village, but smoke was rising from every household.

A group of three quietly set out on their journey.

This time entering the city was much smoother than yesterday.

As soon as we entered the city, we headed straight to the West Market.

Both the East and West Markets sell things, but ordinary people go to the West Market to buy things, and the prices in the West Market are cheaper than those in the East Market.

There are many shops in the East Market, and only dignitaries go there.

There were few people on the street, and they soon arrived at a butcher's shop.

The owner of the butcher shop was moving freshly slaughtered pork into the shop. When he looked up, he saw two tall figures standing in front of him.

"Sir, what would you like to buy?"

Boss Jiang opened his mouth, but suddenly forgot what he was going to say. He turned around and picked up his daughter.

"Girl, look here! Where should I buy meat?"

He suddenly forgot where his daughter asked him to buy meat.

The look of help fell on Jiang Yunjin.

The little girl puffed out her chest, and ignoring the gaze of the butcher shop owner, she measured the pork with her small hand.

“Gotta cut these!”

The little girl gestured to a large piece of meat.

Without even looking at it, Boss Jiang said to the shopkeeper, "Please cut off the meat and pack it up!"

The meat that Jiang Yunjin was pointing at weighed about twenty pounds.

They are all top quality pork belly.

"Okay! Sir, wait a minute, I'll cut it off for you right away!"

When the shopkeeper saw that a big job had come, he quickly cut some meat, put it on the scale and weighed it, it was a full twenty-two pounds!
"Sir, pork is 22 catties, 35 cents a catty, you just need to pay me 770 cents!"

The shopkeeper packed the pork quickly and helped Boss Jiang put the meat on the cart. Then he reached out to take the silver and money that were handed to him.

The shopkeeper counted the money and found it was just the right amount. A smile immediately broke out on his face, with his face full of fat.

He looked at the happy man in front of him with a smile, and suddenly remembered that he still had some pig offal, so he asked tentatively: "Sir, you are so generous. I have some pig offal over there. How about giving you some?"

Pig offal can also be a piece of meat if you live in poor areas.

But in the capital city where every inch of land is valuable, there is no place to throw away the food, let alone eat a bite!
Especially since business was extremely good today, he was even more worried.

"Yes, yes, how many do you have?"

Jiang Yunjin instantly became alert when he heard the words "pig offal".

She had been missing pork head, and she thought she wouldn't be able to eat it for a while, so she was a little distressed.

Now, she can enjoy all the must-have delicacies for the Chinese New Year.

When the shopkeeper saw how interested the little girl was, he couldn't help but look at Boss Jiang. When he saw the latter nodded, he quickly spoke.

"Sir, please follow me here!"

Boss Jiang asked Lao Wu to guard the door, and he followed with Jiang Yunjin in his arms.

The two men came to the backyard of the butcher shop and found several sacks piled in the corner with bright red blood oozing out of them.

You can tell at first glance that the pork was freshly slaughtered not long ago.

The shopkeeper was initially worried that the bloodiness would scare the little girl, but unexpectedly, the little girl was not afraid at all and even came down on her own initiative.

Dadada went straight to the sacks, stretched out his hand, opened one of the sacks, and looked inside.

It includes pig's head, liver, lungs, large intestine and even trotters. It is a complete set.

Even the casings are included.

Seeing this, Jiang Yunjin's tense heart suddenly became cheerful. "Daddy, I want them all!"

Jiang Yunjin nodded at Boss Jiang.

The latter understood immediately, waved his hand at the shopkeeper, and took all the things.

Now it was the shopkeeper's turn to be shocked.

I couldn't help but glance at the little girl in the distance, thinking that I had never seen a family that could pamper a little girl like this.

However, the shopkeeper felt much better now that someone was able to take these troublesome things away.

This pile of stuff was not valuable, and he only took ten cents for it as a token of his appreciation, so it could be considered a free gift.

Boss Jiang, however, felt that they had gotten the upper hand.

After all the things were loaded onto the cart, Boss Jiang and his men left.

In order to prevent blood from seeping out along the way, the store owner was kind enough to find a lot of hay to lay on the ground.

After buying the meat, you naturally have to buy spices.

However, even Jiang Laowu didn’t know the spices that Jiang Yunjin was talking about.

This is one of the reasons why the little girl was brought here.

Jiang Yunjin needed too many spices, but at this time in ancient times, there were no shops specifically selling these spices.

Nowadays, most spices are used to treat diseases.

With a general idea of ​​the route, the three members of the Jiang family went to a small pharmacy.

The small medicine shop was quiet and deserted. The three of them entered the shop and sat down, only to see a little boy running towards them in a hurry.

The little boy was about ten years old, wearing a starched and bleached robe. When he saw a guest coming, he immediately extended his hand and bowed to the visitor.

"Who is ill? My master is treating him in the backyard. Please sit for a moment."

"Young Master, please inform your master and tell him that we want to buy some medicinal herbs."

The child said yes and turned and went to the backyard.

It took about a moment.

An old man came hurriedly, followed by the little boy he had just seen.

As soon as the old man arrived, Jiang Lao Da and Jiang Lao Wu both stood up and bowed to the newcomer. The old man clasped his hands together as a return gesture.

"I just heard from my disciple that you two want to buy some medicinal herbs? What do you want to buy?"

The old man spoke, and Jiang Laowu handed the letter he was carrying to the old man.

What is written above is what they need.

The old man took it and took a closer look. Most of the herbs on it were warming and tonic, but if they were connected together, he didn't know what the prescription was.

After thinking it over again and again, the old man couldn't help but ask, "What do you two want these herbs for?"

"I'm sorry I can't explain it clearly. This is a secret recipe left by our ancestors for cooking. I hope you can forgive me, old doctor." Boss Jiang looked ashamed.

When the old man heard this, he didn't ask any further questions, but only asked how much it cost.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Laowu stepped forward and quickly stated the quantity required.

There are quite a few requirements.

Jiang Yunjin wanted to make five-spice powder, but she couldn't just buy these ingredients, she had to buy other things that could be used as well.

Mainly, she also wanted to prevent someone from stealing her recipe in the future.

In order to create a unique taste, she also has to add spiritual spring water.

I bought a lot of spices, which were very expensive and cost me ten taels of silver.

Fortunately, when I came, Old Mrs. Jiang gave me a lot of silver.

There are still a few things missing. I have to go to the grocery store to have a look.

The grocery store here sells everything, even some rare seeds.

Boss Jiang asked the little boy how to get to the grocery store, and it was the second one on the left when he went out of the door.

The three of them continued walking towards the grocery store. As soon as they entered, Jiang Yunjin was attracted by the things piled in the corner.
