Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business
Chapter 36 Mr. Jiang's Feelings
Jiang Xue picked for a long time and finally chose two sets, one that looked younger and the other that was suitable for Jiang Chenshi.
"Boss, how much are these two sets?"
The boss looked at the jewelry Jiang Xue had chosen and said, "This set of more luxurious ones costs six taels and two hundred coins, and this set of more modest ones costs five taels. If you want them, I can give you a discount of two hundred coins. I'll also give you a silver hairpin and four head flowers."
Jiang Xue nodded: "Okay, then please help me pack it up."
After paying, Jiang Xue walked out of the jewelry store. Seeing Jiang Xue coming out, Jiang Chen stood up and walked forward with her things in her hand: "Little ancestor, have you bought anything? Can we go now?" Jiang Chen said.
Jiang Xue nodded and walked towards where the ox cart was parked. "It's already 3 p.m., why hasn't Sanniu come yet?"
Mr. Jiang was very anxious. He had collected all the pork, but Jiang Xue didn't come. Jiang Feng was also very anxious. Just when he was about to go find her, he saw Jiang Xue and Jiang Chen coming in front of him. He quickly said to Mr. Jiang beside him, "Here they are. I'll go help take over the things."
Jiang Diao followed closely behind and took the things from Jiang Chenshi and Jiang Xue. Jiang Xue put the jewelry box in her arms and got on the ox cart.
Jiang Chen was very curious along the way. Jiang Xue was holding several boxes in her arms and she didn't put them down all the way, like treasures. "Little ancestor, what are you holding?" Jiang Chen couldn't help asking.
Hearing this, everyone looked at Jiang Xue, looking up and down at the things in her arms. Jiang Xue smiled and said, "Don't worry, we'll talk about it when we get back."
Although Jiang Chen was extremely curious, she decided to wait until Jiang Xue returned home.
It was almost dark when the ox cart entered the village. There was no one in the village, and smoke from every household rose thinly.
Jiang Wang had already prepared the meal and was keeping it warm in the pot, but she didn't dare to stir-fry any vegetables because it was still a bit cold that day and the vegetables would get cold soon.
She held her youngest son Jiang Shun and sat in the yard waiting for Grandpa Jiang and the others.
Jiang Bing was running around in the yard, while Jiang An, who had just returned home, was tidying himself up.
At this time, in Jiang Feng's room, Jiang Chen was lying on the bed, and Doctor Jiang was taking his pulse.
After Doctor Jiang repeatedly confirmed that there was no problem, he was just unsure about how to treat amnesia. Jiang Chen frowned. Doctor Jiang panicked and almost stood up and knelt down. Fortunately, he managed to keep his body steady.
"Doctor Jiang, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Doctor Jiang's expression, Jiang Chen asked curiously.
This is a little devil who kills without blinking an eye. When he saw him frown, his body instinctively tensed up. This was not something he could control. Doctor Jiang took a deep breath and said secretly.
"No, it's okay. The poison has been removed. It's just that the amnesia will take some time to heal. I have to go back and think about it." After saying that, Doctor Jiang stood up and walked out.
Doctor Jiang's heart trembled. Although the boy had lost his memory, the cold aura that emanated from him still made him panic. Jiang Chen was a little confused. He felt very strange. Why did Doctor Jiang seem a little flustered in front of him? Did he see it wrong?
"Mom, what are we going to eat today? I'm starving!" Jiang Xue yelled as she pushed open the door. Jiang Wang hurried into the kitchen, added some firewood to the stove, picked up the warm rice in the stove, and started to fry the prepared dishes.
"Old woman, please go and lend a hand and cook a few more dishes tonight. Jiang Feng, go to the village entrance and get some wine so that we can all have a drink tonight." Old Man Jiang said happily.
After unloading everything, Mr. Jiang asked Jiang Tiao to lead the cow to the backyard. It was already late, and they couldn't build a cowshed, so this was the only arrangement for now.
"Okay, I'll go to the kitchen and take a look." After Jiang Chen said that, she went into the kitchen carrying the ribs and pork belly.
When Jiang Chen was young, she worked as a cook in a wealthy family. Later, the family moved away, but she stayed because they didn't sign a death contract. Later, she married Mr. Jiang, but she never had a chance to show off her cooking skills. Today, Jiang Xue bought a lot of ingredients, and she was going to show off her cooking skills tonight.
"Mom, why are you here? I was just about to cook, and I didn't know when you would be home, so I wanted to wait until you came back before cooking." Jiang Wang explained hurriedly.
Jiang Chen waved her hand and said, "It's okay. I bought a lot of things today and came back a little late. I'll help you." After that, she put the meat in the basin, rolled up her sleeves, and prepared to cook.
"Mom, you go and rest, I'll take care of this." Jiang Wang said.
"It's okay. The old man wants to have a few drinks tonight. Sanniu happened to buy a lot of seasonings. I'm going to show off my cooking skills. You can help me light the fire." She planned to do a good job tonight. It was rare for her to be so happy.
When I first got married, I heard from the villagers that my mother-in-law used to be a cook in a wealthy family and her cooking skills were amazing. Later, when I got married, and the village was not as good as the city, I just cooked some home-cooked dishes.
Jiang Wang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll light the fire."
When Jiang Xue saw her grandmother enter the kitchen, she remembered that her grandfather said they wanted to have a few more drinks to celebrate in the evening, so she took out the seasonings she had bought in the afternoon and brought them to the kitchen.
"Grandma, let me do it! You go out and take a rest." Jiang Xue said. Although Jiang Xue's cooking skills were not very good, she had no problem making home-cooked meals.
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Don't look at your grandma's age. Back then, she was a cook in a wealthy family and had her own way of cooking. Don't worry about it. Go out and have fun! You are going to make our village rich!"
Jiang Xue was very surprised. She didn't expect her grandmother to be so capable. No wonder she understood it so quickly. She didn't refuse. She nodded and went out.
An hour later, four dishes and a soup were served, including braised pork, pork ribs stewed with white radish, stir-fried pork slices with lettuce, stir-fried cabbage, cold-mixed gray vegetables, and a large pot of rice.
The color of the dishes made Jiang Xue very greedy, and she thought her grandma was really good at cooking.
Mr. Jiang talked about everything he bought today. He was very excited: "Today our family has a big happy event. Sanniu bought a bamboo forest, a shop and an ox cart. It's worth celebrating!"
"I never thought that at my old age, I could still see my family members being so successful. I have never had any skills in my life, and now that I'm old, I have to rely on you." After saying this, Grandpa Jiang wiped away his tears.
At first, Mr. Jiang had great hopes of passing the imperial examination to become a scholar, but he got into trouble later and people made things difficult for him at every turn, so he gave up on the imperial examination. Although it was a pity, his sons did not have the talent, so they gave up on the examination after just a few years of schooling.
He secretly rejoiced in his heart that Yu'er was much more capable than he was in his youth. He passed the examination and became a student at such a young age, and the teacher often praised him.
"Yuer, are you ready for this year's provincial examination?" Old Master Jiang remembered that the provincial examination was coming soon and asked hurriedly.
Jiang Yu nodded and said, "The teacher said I'm almost there, so I can go and give it a try."
"The provincial exam is in April. Are you going back to school?" Mr. Jiang asked.
According to the original owner's memory, the prefectural examination in this dynasty was presided over by the prefect and was usually held in April of the lunar calendar every year. Only candidates who passed the prefectural examination were eligible to take part in the academy examination and be called a scholar.
Jiang Yu nodded again and continued, "In three days, I will go back to the county town with my classmates in town."
Jiang Xue was very surprised when she heard the conversation between her grandfather and her fourth brother. He could pass the examination to become a scholar at such a young age. In the books she had read in her previous life, many famous poets were still scholars when they were in their seventies or eighties. How old is he? And from what he said, he seems quite confident.
"Master, we can arrange for people to dig the fields tomorrow and also to divert water." Jiang Xue suddenly thought of tomorrow's affairs and asked.
"When you went to town a few days ago, I arranged for someone to release the water. It should be fine now."
Grandpa Jiang had heard about this from his granddaughter before, so he quickly arranged for the villagers to release the water. He thought that it would take time to drain so many fields.
Jiang Xue didn't expect that her grandfather had already made arrangements, so she didn't say anything. "Let's not talk about this today. The old man is happy. Let's talk about it tomorrow morning after we have a good drink." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Old Mr. Jiang laughed and started drinking with his sons and grandchildren.
After finishing her meal, Jiang Xue wanted to go to the kitchen to digest her food, but it was dark, which made her a little irritable. Fortunately, her grandmother had prepared a few more oil lamps. She was a little thirsty, so she got up and went to the kitchen to drink some water.
Watching Old Master Jiang chatting animatedly, Jiang Chen was feeling very bored as his body had not recovered yet and he could not drink. When he saw Jiang Xue enter the kitchen, Jiang Chen could not control himself and followed her into the kitchen.
At this time, Jiang Xue, who was drinking water, saw someone coming and raised her head. She didn't notice that there were some water stains on her lips.
Seeing the water stains, Jiang Chen couldn't help but reach out and wipe the water stains on Jiang Xue's lips.
Jiang Xue was a little stunned. Her heart trembled when the flawless white index finger touched her lips. She had never seen a man's hands so beautiful. The slender fingers were perfect in every way, and even the degree of their bend was inexplicably tempting.
Seeing Jiang Xue's eyes staring blankly, Jiang Chen was a little confused, so he took his hand back and asked in a gentle voice: "Xue'er, what's wrong with you?"
There was an imperceptible distance between the fingertips and the lips. Jiang Xue could feel the slightly warm touch passing along the line of her lips. She swallowed silently and shook her head.
"Achen, it's okay."
Even with this casual action, she can reveal such alluring charm. She is indeed a demon!
Jiang Chen seemed not to notice Jiang Xue's loss of composure.
This was Jiang Xue's first time being fed by a man, and a handsome guy at that. She had never experienced anything like this before! She felt embarrassed and made up an excuse to run away.
Until the evening, Jiang Xue lay in bed, her mind still full of the image of Jiang Chen touching her lips. She was a little angry with herself, patted her head, covered herself with the quilt and prepared to go to sleep.
The next morning, at 7:00 p.m., it was already bright. Jiang Xue was sleeping soundly. During this time, Mr. Jiang tried to go into the room to look for Jiang Xue several times, but was stopped by Jiang Chenshi.
She thought Jiang Xue must be exhausted after shopping all day yesterday, so she didn't let anyone disturb her.
At this time, Mr. Jiang was very anxious. In a quarter of an hour, the clan meeting would start. They had to announce the digging today, and everyone had gone to the clan meeting long ago. But the old woman still stopped him, and Mr. Jiang was a little angry.
Jiang Xue had just woken up and saw that it was already dawn, so she quickly got up, got dressed, and prepared to go out.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw her grandfather standing at the door and asked in confusion, "Grandpa, what's the matter?" "Sanniu, wash your face quickly. The tribe is holding a clan meeting and is waiting for you."
"Old lady, hurry up and serve the hot breakfast to Sanniu. We are in a hurry here, and we won't have time when we go up the mountain," said Mr. Jiang.
When Jiang Chen heard that they were going to be busy and go to the fields, she quickly called Jiang Wang to serve breakfast. She then filled a basin with hot water and placed it on a stool in the yard, and quickly asked Jiang Xue to wash up.
Jiang Xue finished her breakfast and followed Old Man Jiang to the clan meeting. She was a little embarrassed because everyone was already there.
