Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

Looking at her second brother Jiang Tiao who was leisurely standing aside, Jiang Xue couldn't help but frowned. She gently tugged at his sleeve and pointed in the direction of the backyard.

"Second brother, come with me." Jiang Xue said as she gestured for him to follow.

Jiang Diao was stunned by Jiang Xue's sudden action, but then he understood her intention and immediately stood up and followed her.

Arriving at a small house in the backyard, Jiang Xue quickly closed the door. After making sure that no one was around, she walked to the table in the middle of the room, took out a stack of things wrapped in linen from under the table, and gently placed them on the table.

"Brother, this is the seasoning for oden." Jiang Xue opened the sackcloth, revealing the neatly arranged seasoning packets inside. "There are ten packets in a pack. You only need to use one packet each time you cook oden."

Jiang Diao picked up a bag of seasoning curiously, shook it gently, and listened to the subtle sounds inside, his eyes flashing with curiosity and interest.

"What is this used for?" Jiang Diao looked up at Jiang Xue and asked in confusion.

Jiang Xue explained with a smile: "Brother, we plan to promote oden in the town, and this seasoning is the key. It has a unique taste and can make oden more delicious. I hope you can be responsible for keeping these seasonings and ensure their safety and quality."

"I'm not going back to the village?" Jiang debugger asked tentatively, but he was secretly glad in his heart.

"Oh? You want to go back to the village?" Jiang Xue asked back with a hint of teasing in her tone.

Seeing this, Jiang Diao immediately realized that he might have let the cat out of the bag, and nodded and shook his head quickly, appearing a little flustered.

"Okay, since you want to go back to the village, I'll help you." Jiang Xue's tone was dangerously calm. She continued, "By the way, I heard from Grandpa a few days ago that there is still some sandy land at home. You can go to farm when you go back this time. Well, I will tell Grandpa and Grandma, and let you go alone."

When Jiang Diao heard that he had to go back to farm, his face froze, he quickly shrank his neck, and complained inwardly. He didn't like farming in the first place, and sandy land was even more difficult to work with. It would be so tiring to farm alone!

"That...that..." Jiang Diao hesitated, trying to find an excuse to stay in town.

Jiang Xue looked at him with a half-smile, pretending to be puzzled and asked, "Huh? Aren't you going back to the village? Why are you suddenly not coming back?"

Jiang Diao summoned up his courage and shouted, "No, no! I'd better stay in town and learn how to be an accountant from you!"

Seeing that Jiang Diao finally understood what she meant, Jiang Xue nodded with satisfaction and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

At this time, Jiang Wanrou walked into Jiang's cloth shop in a irritable manner. She had been browsing for a long time but couldn't find anything she liked, and she was feeling a little depressed.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Seeing this, Bier asked worriedly.

Jiang Wanrou shook her head, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes. She looked around, the store was full of various fabrics and clothes, but they all seemed to lack that special something that could make her heart beat. She knew in her heart that what she wanted to find was not just a gift, but a sincerity that could express her gratitude.

"It's nothing. It's just that Miss Jiang is opening her shop tomorrow and I wanted to give her some gifts." She said softly, with a hint of distress in her voice. "I looked around, but nothing I liked." She felt that if it weren't for Miss Jiang's timely help, she would have been disfigured long ago, and her heart was filled with gratitude.

Bi'er was listening at the side, and suddenly remembered something, and said hurriedly: "Miss, wait! When you were out this afternoon, Miss Jiang came to the store."

"Oh? She's been here? Why didn't you ask someone to come find me?" Jiang Wanrou was a little surprised.

Bi'er explained: "Miss Jiang didn't let me, and said you can make an appointment later. She looked at a lot of clothes and bought a lot of them."

Jiang Wanrou nodded slightly after hearing this, knowing that Miss Jiang might also be here to pick out a gift for the opening of the business. She thought for a moment, but still felt that there was no suitable gift to express her feelings.

At this moment, Bi'er suddenly remembered something, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Ah~! Miss, I remember that she saw the 'Die Lian' you brought from Shangjing this afternoon, but the clerk said he would not sell it."

"Are you talking about 'Dielian'? Does she like it?" Jiang Wanrou's eyes lit up and a look of joy appeared on her face.

Bi'er nodded repeatedly: "Yes, she looked at it for a long time."

Jiang Wanrou was delighted, she knew she had finally found the right gift. This "Butterfly Love" was not only her carefully designed work, but also her most proud work. She didn't expect Miss Jiang to like it, it was really great.

"Yes, and the other two pieces of clothing in my box are also given to her." Jiang Wanrou said excitedly, "Well, and the set of jewelry that matched 'Die Lian' at that time is also given to her."

Thinking of Miss Jiang's joy when she received the gift, Jiang Wanrou was filled with anticipation. She quickly turned around and ran out of the cloth shop, heading towards Jiang's house.

"Miss, wait for me!" Bi'er was chasing after her breathlessly.

Jiang's Back Garden

After Jiang Xue explained everything, she turned to Jiang Diao and said, "Since there is no problem, then it is decided. Don't be late tomorrow, otherwise you know what will happen." After that, she left a few warnings and a terrible sneer, turned around and walked out of the backyard. Jiang Diao stood there, his face full of helplessness and anxiety.

Although Jiang Diao was filled with fear of numbers and worries about the future, time still passed quickly. At the hour of Yin, the lights in Jiang's house were on, and Jiang Xue was busy arranging the procedures for the opening of the business.

"Chen Yang and Chen Yan are in charge of the shops on the street, Huzi is in charge of the waiters on the street; Wang Youcai and his wife are in charge of the shops at the dock, Langzi is in charge of the waiters at the dock; Chen Ziyu is in charge of the shopkeeper at the dock, Zhong Ziqi and Jiang Tiao are in charge of the shops on the street, Manager Chen and the eldest brother are responsible for the opening of the shops at the dock, Achen and I are responsible for the opening of the shops on the street, and Madam Yan will make specific assignments for the others." Jiang Xue arranged the work in an orderly manner.

"Okay, miss." Nanny Yan responded and then began to busily direct everyone.

After all the personnel and materials were assigned, everyone pushed the carts to their respective posts. Jiang Xue suddenly stopped and turned back to Jiang Diao and said, "By the way, second brother, Wang Youcai, come with me to the store on the street now. Did you bring the seasoning?"

Jiang Diao quickly took out four packets of seasoning from his backpack, handed two of them to Jiang Xue, and nodded to indicate that he was ready. Then, he took the remaining two packets of seasoning and walked out of Jiang's house with everyone else, heading to their respective posts to prepare for the upcoming grand opening ceremony.

After walking for about half an hour, Jiang Xue and the others arrived at the shop on the street. She handed the key to Chen Yang, the eldest daughter-in-law of Manager Chen, and asked others to help carry the ingredients and tools to the kitchen.

Jiang Xue stood in front of the stove in the back kitchen, planning to teach the cooks how to make oden. She first took the seasoning packet from Jiang Tiao, then asked Chen Yanshi, the second daughter-in-law of Manager Chen, to light the fire. After the pot was heated, she began to explain in detail.

"This seasoning is provided by my second brother every day. Generally, one packet of seasoning can make a pot of water. The water should be added to this place." Jiang Xue said while pointing to a specific position on the edge of the pot.

"The water must be boiling before you can put in the white radish and then the meatballs. It's the kind you just brought over. You can cook it a little longer so that the flavor will be stronger." As she spoke, Jiang Xue personally made a pot of oden so that everyone could understand the production process more intuitively.

Jiang Xue turned around and looked at the four cooks next to her and asked, "Have you all learned it? I will add other ingredients and other snacks later, but for now, let's make oden first."

Several cooks nodded to show that they had learned it. At this time, Wang Youcai saw that the production process was so simple, so he nodded and turned to leave for the shop at the pier.

At this time, it was just dawn, about six in the morning in modern Beijing time. Jiang Xue left the kitchen to the two cooks, and then walked out of the store with Jiang Chen.

"Is it over? Achen, I seem to have forgotten something." Jiang Xue suddenly stopped, looking a little anxious.

Jiang Chen was stunned and looked at Jiang Xue: "Xue'er, what's wrong? What did you forget?"

Jiang Xue frowned slightly and tried to recall: "I seem to have forgotten to tell my second brother to deliver the seasoning on time tomorrow." She patted her forehead, looking a little annoyed.

Jiang Xue said hurriedly: "I seem to have forgotten to put a price tag on the meatballs, and I also forgot to tell them the selling price. What should I do?"

Seeing her nervousness, Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Xue'er, I thought it was a big deal. When I was at the lumber store yesterday, the owner asked me if I needed a menu, and I nodded."

"Oh? Really?" Jiang Xue felt a little less anxious when she heard Jiang Chen say that.

"Yes, my boss asked me yesterday, and I asked him to send some over. It should have been delivered together with the plaque yesterday. I'll write it on it for you. I brought paper and pen." Jiang Chen said, taking out paper and pen from his arms.

"Thank you, Achen." Jiang Xue looked at Jiang Chen gratefully, and the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

Just then, Butler Chen ran in, panting, and shouted loudly, "Miss, Miss." His face was full of anxiety, as if he had something important to report.
