Infinite Doomsday: I rely on space to stock up and bully the scum
Chapter 66 Meeting at Zhou Mansion
This is a large house with three courtyards, white walls, red tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions and towers, it is very impressive.
The Zhou family is a well-known wealthy family in the town. It is said that the master of the Zhou family is in the silk business, and even the clothes worn by the servants in the family are much more decent than those of ordinary families.
Jiang Jiang still took out the two good clothes that the original owner was reluctant to wear, and chose the one that fit her best. However, compared with the Zhou family's clothes, they looked a little shabby.
"Mrs. Jiang, our Mrs. Zhou and the second young lady are quite curious about you and want to meet you. Please don't be shy." Uncle Fu stepped aside and led Jiang Jiang to a side room.
Jiang Jiang stepped over the threshold. Sitting inside was a lady dressed in silk, gold and silver, who looked rather wealthy. She should be the Madam Zhou that Uncle Fu had mentioned. Sitting next to her was a young girl who seemed to be about the same age as Li Cuicui and was looking at her curiously. She should be the second daughter of the Zhou family.
"Hello, Madam, and Hello, Second Miss." After Jiang Jiang bowed slightly to the two of them, she was led by a maid to the nearest seat. There was freshly brewed tea on the table.
Madam Zhou had a gentle look on her face. She took a sip of tea and said, "I heard that your daughter is about the same age as Wan'er. I'd like to ask you to call me Sister Jiang."
Jiang Jiang waved her hands quickly. She was familiar with the book "Emotional Intelligence" and how could she let her words fall on deaf ears?
"Madam, how can I do this? I am just a farmer who makes a living in the fields. How can I be worthy of being called your sister? Since I am a few years older than you, if you don't mind, you can just call me Jiang. The second young lady can call me Aunt Jiang."
When Mrs. Zhou heard this, a smile spread across her face.
"Why be so restrained? Drink tea. This is new tea that was just picked in early spring. It has a unique flavor."
Jiang Jiang took a sip of the tea in her hand respectfully. The faint tea fragrance filled her entire mouth, leaving a sweet aftertaste.
Mrs. Zhou and the second daughter of the Zhou family were initially curious about ice cream as a dessert, and then they became curious about the person who "invented" ice cream, so they asked Uncle Fu to find someone so that they could see it for themselves.
Unexpectedly, after seeing this, they found that Jiang Jiang was more interesting than they had imagined.
For a moment, Mrs. Zhou and Miss Zhou Er burst into laughter.
After a few people chatted and laughed, they got down to business.
"Jiang, to be honest, I came to you to buy the recipe for this ice cream. I didn't expect you to be more interesting than I thought."
Mrs. Zhou adjusted her hairpin which was a little messy due to laughing.
In the conversation with Mrs. Zhou, Jiang Jiang recounted the story of his family's escape from famine, his reunion with distant relatives, and how he started a sweet water shop business. Jiang Jiang even believed that he really had a relative who was a traveling merchant.
The recipe for ice cream was also brought by this relative from the far north, where it is cold all year round, so people invented this food.
It just so happened that her relative who was a traveling businessman left behind a large amount of ice, and Jiang Jiang used part of it to run an ice shop business.
As he was talking, Jiang Jiang took out a small box from his arms.
She opened the box and found some beautiful little shells inside.
"Madam, Miss, this is a little thing my relative brought back when he went to the coast. It's not worth much, but it's rare. I'm a farmer and can't afford anything good. I thought it was my first time to meet you, so I couldn't come empty-handed, so I prepared this. I hope you can forgive me."
Zhou Wan'er couldn't sit still anymore, so she stepped forward and took the shell that Jiang Jiang handed over.
It is just as she said, although this shell is not valuable, it is rare.
Seeing her daughter unable to let go of the item, Mrs. Zhou looked at Jiang Jiang with a bit more respect.
If before she only planned to buy the ice cream recipe from Jiang Jiang, now she has discovered greater possibilities.
The fact that Jiang Jiang's distant relative could bring shells and knew about desserts from extremely cold places proved that he had really been to these places. And now the Zhou family happened to be looking for all kinds of rare things.
It is said that the new county magistrate will be arriving soon.
All these merchants, big and small, must prepare gifts for the meeting, otherwise the title of County Magistrate for Confiscating Property is not worthy of Bai Qi.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhou's tone became even gentler.
She offered to buy the ice cream recipe for one hundred taels of silver.
Jiang Jiang was shocked. This was twice as high as the price they had agreed on before. Could it be that there were some other requirements?
Sure enough, Mrs. Zhou then asked Jiang Jiang to inform her relative and ask him to help find some precious and rare items, which the Zhou family was willing to buy at a high price.
"After the matter is accomplished, there will be a great reward."
Jiang Jiang finally understood that the Zhou family was looking for some rare items to give to an important person, and he was just one of them in that wide-ranging network.
After handing over the ice cream recipe, Jiang Jiang went to the kitchen and taught the private chef in the mansion all the processes of making ice cream.
Driven by the financial ability of one hundred taels of silver, Jiang Jiang also suggested adding favorite fruits to make different flavors.
As for why Li’s Dessert Shop only has one flavor, don’t ask. The answer is that she is lazy.
Carrying the huge sum of one hundred taels of silver, Jiang Jiang left contentedly with the return gift from Mrs. Zhou - two pieces of fine cloth.
Jiang Jiang was quite satisfied with her performance. It was worthy of her reading the chapter about Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Garden in Dream of the Red Chamber. She made the ladies of the Zhou Mansion very happy and managed to establish a small connection with the Zhou Mansion.
Jiang Jiang weighed the two pieces of cloth and thought to himself that Mrs. Zhou was very generous. These two pieces of cloth were enough to make a new set of clothes for everyone in the family.
Probably because she noticed that Jiang Jiang's clothes looked a little worn, Mrs. Zhou didn't say anything but saw it, so when Jiang Jiang left, she gave him two pieces of cloth, saying it was a return gift for Shell.
But Jiang Jiang knew that these two pieces of fine cloth were much more valuable than a few small shells.
Find an opportunity to return the gift later.
Tianshuipu's business is as stable as ever. As long as the weather stays hot and their prices remain affordable, the business will be good.
Gradually, the residents of the town or the villagers who came to the market, if they had a little money in their pockets, would come to try the icy sweet soup from Li's Sweet Soup Shop. Those with wealthier families would even buy an ice cream for their children.
"Mom, you're back." Huang Ying wiped her hands and quickly took the two pieces of cloth from Jiang Jiang's hands.
Jiang Jiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Carrying two pieces of cloth for such a long distance really exhausted her.
Sun Qiaoqiao also came at this time. She looked at the two pieces of fine cloth but did not dare to touch them with her hands, for fear that her rough hands would scratch the cloth.
"Mom, this is the cloth you bought. It must have cost a lot of money." Sun Qiaoqiao walked around the cloth twice, estimating that it must have cost several taels of silver.
Jiang Jiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhou is kind and righteous. She heard that we have many children and haven't worn new clothes for several years, so she gave them to us."
Sent?
Li Cuicui has sharp ears. After giving the sweet soup, she immediately rushed to Jiang Jiang. Li Xu and Li Sheng also followed to join in the fun.
"Doesn't that mean everyone in our family will have new clothes?" Li Cuicui was very happy, as if she could already see herself showing off in the new clothes.
"Yes, yes, yes. All."
