Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

Mrs. Yang couldn't help but move her index finger as she smelled the aroma. She picked up the dried wolf meat and tasted it.

The slightly spicy flavor immediately fills the mouth and is very fragrant.

"Are these your spices sprinkled on top?" She had heard from the maid that Jiang Huaixu's family was also in the spice business, but she had never tasted it herself.

The second grandmother hurriedly replied: "Yes, that's it. It's called five-spice powder, and it's sprinkled with chili powder! I'll set up a stall in the county town, and many people like to eat it!"

"Paprika? Not pepper?" She tasted it like pepper.

"How can we afford pepper? This thing is called pepper. It was named after Miss Xu!"

Mrs. Yang ate well and wanted to buy some. Thinking of the enthusiasm of these villagers, she put the matter in her heart for the time being and planned to talk to Jiang Huaixu alone.

As she ate, she became confused again, "What kind of meat is this? Why can't I eat it?"

"This is wolf meat." Qian Xiuzhu replied, "My eldest daughter-in-law has made wolf meat jerky and wolf meat sauce. If Madam likes it, she can take some with her when she leaves later."

Mrs. Yang just assumed that there was a hunter in this group of people and didn't ask any more questions.

Although Jiang Huaixu was sitting by the stove eating rice cakes and dried meat, his attention was focused on the group of people outside.

"... Grain distribution has begun. In a few days, we refugees in Chongming Prefecture will be able to go to the county government to receive relief grain. With so many of you, you can receive several thousand kilograms of grain. I heard that you ten There is a new group of refugees arriving in the village. The village chief can inform them in advance..."

After talking about the food relief, Yangxian Cheng learned that Jiang Erlang wanted to take the exam as a boy student next year, so he took a few sentences in the exam. Jiang Erlang answered them one by one, and Yangxian Cheng pointed out the shortcomings.

After asking a few more questions, I found out that Jiang Erlang was mostly self-taught, and his tone was full of satisfaction.

······

In the house, Mrs. Yang asked the maid to bring all the gifts into the house. After a while, various wrapped pastries and snacks were opened and placed in front of everyone.

The children swallowed hard but did not dare to step forward.

When Mrs. Yang came, she was worried that the children would fight over food. Now seeing this scene, she couldn't help but feel pity and love, "Come and eat, they are all bought for you!"

When Qian Xiuzhu spoke, Jiang Rong, Tianya and the other little ones carefully picked up the pastries. Seeing the smile on Mrs. Yang's face, they became bolder and took some pastries for the sisters.

Next, Mrs. Yang showed Qian Xiuzhu the meat, vegetables and two pieces of silk cloth she had brought.

It seemed that Qian Xiuzhu was a little restless.

"I heard from my little girl that you have already paid the medical fee, why do you still bring these things? We really can't accept any more, it's too expensive!"

Mrs. Yang had a smile on her lips, "It was my son's life that Dr. Jiang saved. We are all parents. Even ten thousand dollars cannot buy a child's life! Our husband and wife are truly grateful and look forward to our family." In the future, I will move around more during the New Year and festivals, so I can bring these things that look quite real. Sister, I can’t be too little..."

These words reminded Qian Xiuzhu of the scene in her dream, and she couldn't help but wet her eyes. She was speechless for a moment and could only nod her head.

Next door to Jiang Huaixu's house, there was another scene.

While Du Mei was doing her work, she looked up at the yard next door separated by a wall.

Seeing her mother-in-law coming, she couldn't help but said: "Mom, why didn't the county magistrate come through our door when he came to our village? Dad is the village chief..."

Zhao Chunfang glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law and said, "Please keep your voice down, are you worried that others won't hear you?"

Du Mei was still very afraid of this mother-in-law and immediately kept silent.

"Why? Because it was Sister Xu who pulled the county prime minister's son out of hell. If you have this ability, the county prime minister and his wife can also enter our house and give us gifts! Do you have it?"

Du Mei was speechless and had nothing to say.

She was still unconvinced and muttered: "I don't know what kind of luck our good uncle's family has. All good things can happen to his family. We can only follow them and drink some soup..."

Zhao Chunfang saw that the eldest daughter-in-law was talking more and more outrageously, so she immediately interrupted: "If you dare to have any evil thoughts, I'll see if I don't break your legs!"

Her daughter-in-law is actually her eldest sister's daughter. They are both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, aunt and niece.

At first, she thought that she had watched this girl grow up, and the eldest sister wanted to get closer to his family, so she agreed in a confused way. Since she left Shili Village, she lost contact with the eldest sister's family, and she found that her daughter-in-law was becoming more and more left-leaning.

Du Mei knew that her aunt was not joking and immediately stopped talking.

Jiang Yao glanced at her sister-in-law with a trace of pity in her eyes.

If she continues to seek death like this, the next person to become mute will be the sister-in-law. It's a pity that she can't tell this matter, in case Jiang Huaixu finds out...

Thinking like this, Jiang Yao felt that she had to show off in front of Jiang Huaixu.

"Daughter, let's go help your aunt's family cook." Zhao Chunfang called Jiang Yao to stop, and then said to Du Mei, "Look after the house and cook something yourself when you are hungry."

She pulled Jiang Yao and took two steps when she thought of something again and turned to look at Du Mei: "If you lose your job selling tofu in the county town because of this mouth, watch your skin carefully!"

Du Mei's face turned pale, and before she could answer, she saw her mother-in-law and sister-in-law walking out of the house. She bit her lip and threw the needlework in her hand into the bamboo basket.

In the evening, Zheng Liniang was called home to cook for the family herself.

Yang County Cheng and his wife brought a lot of vegetables and meat, and preparing a large table of meals was no problem for Zheng Liniang.

A chicken is stewed half in soup and half in mushroom stew. Specialties include braised pork, scrambled eggs with chives, pork belly stewed with Chinese cabbage, mapo tofu, tofu and crucian carp soup...

When the food was served, Prime Minister Yang and Mrs. Yang did not expect that there would be stir-fried dishes, and were very surprised.

Jiang Dalang touched his head and said with a smile: "My wife and Yaomei figured it out together."

The two of them tasted it and felt that Zheng Liniang was a skilled restaurant chef.

The guests enjoyed the meal thoroughly, and when the sun was about to set, Mr. and Mrs. Yang County Cheng left in a carriage.
