after marrying stepbrother

Chapter 52 What's New

Chapter 52 What's New

There are no baking machines these days. If you rely on manual labor, making spiced melon seeds is a little complicated and takes time to complete.

"Well, Miss Lin, we will prepare any ingredients you need. When you are making spiced melon seeds, there will be no one left in the kitchen."

When Aunt Wang heard that it was a family tradition, she immediately dismissed the idea of ​​stealing it.

Lin Yuesha understands that these days many crafts are not passed on to the outside world. They teach apprentices and masters starve to death. Before they become apprentices, the craftsmen have a miserable life, and some even serve the master and his family to wash and wash in order to learn crafts.

"Don't be so troublesome, because this five-spice melon seeds won't get angry after eating, and there are medicinal materials in it. I will go out to buy them later, and then I can make them in Miss Baozhu's small kitchen."

Who knew that the most common melon seeds would allow Lin Yuesha to take advantage of her loopholes, she really wanted to shout out.

Although the wisdom of the ancient working people should not be underestimated, the prescription will be researched in a short time, but before that, it is enough for her to make a fortune!

"Alright."

Aunt Wang is also looking forward to the five-spice melon seeds. She is a foodie who loves to eat melon seeds. She has a big gap in her teeth and is often laughed at by her husband.

Because of this, Aunt Wang is very strict with Xiaoxi, for fear that her daughter will be the same as herself.

Going out to buy materials, Lin Yuesha had a legitimate reason to go out for a walk.

Xiaoxi was about to go out with Zhang Luo, when she got the news from the front yard that Mr. He had come to the door.

Hearing Mr. He's name, Lin Yuesha clearly saw a trace of disgust on Jiang Baozhu's face.

"Miss, Mr. He is here, Madam asked us to go to the front yard to receive guests."

Xiaoxi likes Mr. He very much. Every time Mr. He comes, he will bring some delicious food, and he never empty-handed.

Jiang Baozhu hesitated, but still walked towards the front yard.

When he entered the main room where the guests were received, He Xing was already drinking tea. When he saw Jiang Baozhu entering, he quickly stood up and said familiarly: "Baozhu, it's cold outside, come here to warm up with a charcoal basin."

Jiang Baozhu didn't answer, she sat down on the stool farthest from He Xing, and was speechless the whole time.

It has been like this for many years, and He Xing has long been used to the strangeness. He turned his head and saw Lin Yuesha entering the door, his eyes were full of surprise, but it was only a momentary flash that made him lower his head to cover it up.

"Xiaoxi, a few days ago I went to the county to participate in a cultural meeting. This is a cake for your lady."

There is a time-honored brand in the county. The cakes are not afraid of being cold, and they are soft and fluffy when cold, and they don’t have the same cold and hard texture as steamed buns.

"Mr. He, you have a heart!"

Her young lady doesn't like these sweet and greasy foods, Mr. He didn't understand for so many years, and finally all these foods went into her stomach.

In this regard, Xiaoxi never made it clear.

"What is this, it's just a matter of convenience."

He Xing shook his head and laughed, and took the initiative to find a topic. Although he didn't mention Lin Yuesha, he couldn't help but look at her from the corner of his eye.

Seeing this, Jiang Baozhu frowned slightly, but did not speak.

"By the way, Mr. He, what's new recently?"

Xiaoxi couldn't help it, ate a piece of pastry, and said curiously.

Jiang Baozhu didn't go out many times, and Xiaoxi's gossip was limited to word of mouth among servants. She didn't know what happened outside, and all depended on He Xing who came to the door from time to time to provide information.

"There are really some new things recently."

He Xing thought of the strange case that happened recently, and didn't know where to start.A poor woman was molested and strangled to death by the men of her husband's family. It's not good for a scholar like him.

"The magistrate will be promoted in the next afternoon, and I heard that the case will be settled."

He Xing looked at Jiang Baozhu, he came several times in a row, but Jiang Baozhu didn't respond, which made him feel very troublesome.

Jiang Baozhu has reached the age of acquaintance, and Jiang Huai obviously wants her daughter to find a better family.

The Jiang family didn't say anything to him, nor hinted that he proposed marriage. He Xing was very anxious.

Rather than saying that he has a crush on Jiang Baozhu, it is better to say that he has a crush on the Jiang family's money.Before his father died, he had mentioned to his mother that the Jiang family was not what it seemed.

Jiang Huai has earned a lot of money by selling goods with the barbarians over the years. The reason why he lives in the town and county is to keep a low profile.

It is said that Jiang Huai used to cheat in the barbarian's house, stole gold and silver from several carriages and hid them.

If he became the son-in-law of the Jiang family, Jiang Huai would have no sons, and his family members were not in the Northland. The Xu family fled with Jiang Huai back then, their bones were destroyed, and they would not be able to give birth at all.Then, after marrying Jiang Baozhu, everything in the Jiang family belongs to him!

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, what is the use of a high status as a scholar?It was all accumulated with silver, and contacts also depended on real gold and silver.

It is said that he is close to the Jiang family, and his classmates often walk around with him, just looking at the Jiang family's face.

He Xing did not dare to come to propose marriage, fearing that Jiang Huai would suspect him of unruly intentions and it would be bad if he would be alerted.

"My lord opened the room to ask questions, you haven't seen it yet, have you?"

Jiang Huai seduced Xiaoxi, so he knew that this girl likes to join in the fun the most.

"Miss, it happens that we are going to go shopping with Sister Lin, why don't we go and have a look together?"

There is a case!Xiaoxi is gearing up, wishing to join in the fun right away.Don't blame her for gossip, every day with Jiang Baozhu, quietly, as the days go by, it's inevitable that you will feel panicked.

Jiang Baozhu thought about it, then stood up.

"Master He, our lady said to go together!"

Xiao Lian was overjoyed, grinning and showing a mouthful of small white teeth.

Hearing that her daughter was going out for a walk, Xu was overjoyed, she was worried that Baozhu would lose interest in anything, no, as soon as Lin Yuesha arrived, Baozhu wanted to go out, so it worked!

Mrs. Xu attributed her daughter's change to Lin Yuesha, but He Xing was still complacent, not knowing that he had done useless work.

Hearing that he was going out to buy some ingredients, Mrs. Xu asked someone to give Xiaoxi a purse, which contained 20 taels of silver.

Going out for a walk casually will cost 20 taels, which is her monthly silver for ten months!Lin Yuesha couldn't help feeling sour.

Several people got into the carriage, and He Xing was eloquent, talking about what he had seen and heard in the Northland, and some content about the Humanities Society for Scholars.

Jiang Baozhu didn't know if she listened or not, but Lin Yuesha and Xiaoxi listened carefully. Although there were only a few words, Lin Yuesha was sure that this was not a fork of any dynasty, but an era where senior traversers came. It's just very far away.

"In previous years, when it was winter, the barbarians were just like us, and they didn't sell goods."

He Xing talked about what he had seen and heard, "At the end of the year, the number of goods sold in the border town has increased significantly, and some people have killed cattle for money."

"Mr. He, the beef is really delicious."

Xiaoxi smashed his mouth, thinking of a piece of sauced beef that he had eaten before, he had endless aftertaste.

There are stalls for cattle here in Daqi, and the government prohibits the killing of cattle. Only some old, weak, sick and disabled have the opportunity to enter the world. They have already entered the dining table of wealthy families. Ordinary people have never tasted beef in their entire lives.
