"Yes, Sister Wan'er only took 30%, which is really too little, 70% is about right!"

Juhua immediately followed suit.

Fourth Uncle Xie followed up and said, "Daughter-in-law Xiaolan, you gave us such a big business, how can you only take 30% of the profit? According to what your Fourth Aunt said, we take 30% and you take 70%."

Xie Dazhu and Xie Erzhu nodded in agreement. Even Meihua, who was usually quiet, said, "Sister Wan'er, we have all tasted this stewed food. It is the most delicious thing we have ever eaten. You are giving such a good business to our family, but you only want 30% profit. It is really a loss."

Xie Lan sat quietly next to Jiang Wan. He didn't say a word, but just turned his head to look at Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan said helplessly, "Uncle, if I take 70% of the profit, you will suffer a huge loss. Aunt, you have made this marinated offal from beginning to end, you know how troublesome and tiring the process is, and after it is done, you still have to go to the town to sell it. But the sales results may not be ideal. If no one buys, wouldn't you have made a wasted trip and wasted manpower, financial resources and material resources?"

"So let's not discuss which party gets how much profit for now, let's sell the braised food first."

Jiang Wan's words poured cold water on the excitement of Fourth Uncle Xie and the others.

Yes, we started discussing profit distribution before we even went to town to sell.

Aunt Xie trusted Jiang Wan very much. She had tasted the braised food and knew it was delicious. Everyone who had tasted it said it was good, so how could it not sell?

Jiang Wan saw that they were all in deep thought, as if they were all thinking about how to sell braised food.

She sighed.

In fact, she deliberately diverted the attention of Fourth Aunt Xie and the others, so that they would not keep talking to her about the profits.

Jiang Wan wanted to reach out and grab a bowl of water to drink. Her throat was dry after talking so much just now.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she stretched out her hand, a tea bowl was stuffed into her hand.

She turned her head in surprise, and Xie Lan's dark and deep eyes looked over at her.

Xie Lan didn't say anything, but just signaled her with her eyes to drink water.

Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment, then he put the tea bowl to his lips and started drinking.

When did Xie Lan become so considerate?

Jiang Wan was lost in thought when Fourth Aunt Xie slapped her thigh and made the final decision, "Chrysanthemum, Erzhu, you will follow me to bring the braised food to the town to sell tomorrow. Now go to the carpenter's house and ask for two clean wooden barrels and a chopping board. Also ask him if he has any new kitchen knives. Since you are doing business, you have to keep it clean. The wooden barrels and chopping boards at home are already old. If you take them out to set up a stall, customers will not buy them!"

Xie Erzhu and Juhua received the task and quickly got up and went out.

Jiang Wan cast an admiring look at Fourth Aunt Xie.

It seems that Aunt Xie has a talent for business. She knows that only clean and hygienic conditions can make customers feel at ease when eating.

"Aunt Si, I'll go back first. You still have seven or eight kilograms of pig offal here, enough for you to sell tomorrow."

Jiang Wan stood up and walked over to Fourth Aunt Xie with a smile, "I'll take two pounds of pig intestines back for dinner. There are still four or five pounds of pig intestines left in the cellar in the yard. If you're worried that there won't be enough braised intestines, you can use some to braise again."

Fourth Aunt Xie waved her hand and said, "My niece, take as much as you want. Tomorrow, Erzhu and I will take four or five kilograms to sell. Let's go and test the tastes of the people in the town first. If they don't like it, we won't be able to sell it if we take too much."

"Ah."

Jiang Wan knew that the braised food would sell well because it was novel.

The people in Luohe Town are either rich or noble, and they must be tired of eating all kinds of delicacies from land and sea.

Suddenly a new kind of braised food appears. Even if rich people don’t buy it, ordinary people will buy it to try it.

Besides, the taste of braised food is really good, so there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it.

But Jiang Wan was not in a hurry to analyze the situation to Fourth Aunt Xie and the others. She wanted them to find out for themselves, which would be more convincing than her words.

Jiang Wan took Xie Xueling and the others to get the braised large intestines and were about to leave. She counted the heads in front of her and found that Xie Lan was not there.

Jiang Wan turned her head and Xie Lan appeared behind her without anyone noticing.

"..."

Jiang Wan is no longer so startled.

She had gotten used to Xie Lan's sudden appearance.

"You guys go back, I'm going out later, don't wait for me at night."

Xie Lan looked down at Jiang Wan with a focused gaze.

Jiang Wan was slightly surprised.

This was the first time that Xie Lan reported his whereabouts to Jiang Wan so seriously.

In the past, Xie Lan would just coldly ask where he was going, and would never add "you don't have to wait for me at night".

Jiang felt some strange feelings inexplicably in his heart.

Xie Lan's attitude made it seem like their relationship was very good.

Jiang Wan looked away uncomfortably and nodded, "I understand. Go ahead."

Xie Lan stared at her for a few seconds before walking away.

Jiang Wan looked at his back and felt a sudden burning in his ears.

Xie Lan has been acting more and more weird lately. I really don't know what he is thinking.

Jiang Wan took the four children home, brought some braised food to Jiang Weiran, and told him about teaching Maodan to read.

Jiang Weiran first praised his daughter's craftsmanship before answering the question about teaching.

"I have nothing to do at home every day and I feel bored. If I can teach Maodan to read, it can not only kill time, but also help him learn etiquette. This is a good thing. Besides, I have been in good health recently. Wan'er, you don't have to worry about my body not being able to bear it. I know my own body well."

Jiang Wan smiled.

She secretly gave Jiang Weiran the Guyuan Pill. How could his physical condition improve?

But it wasn't just the effect of the Guyuan Pill. During the more than a month since coming to Xie Lan's house, Jiang Weiran has been able to rest and recuperate, and has no worries about food and drink. Jiang Wan has also become much more polite and sensible, and no longer causes him worries like before.

This alone made Jiang Weiran's health almost better.

"Okay, then I'll tell Fourth Aunt Xie to send the eggs over tomorrow."

Jiang Wan poured Jiang Weiran a cup of hot tea.

Jiang Weiran took it with a look of relief, and said, "Your Fourth Aunt Xie has four little kids at home, the oldest is six or seven years old, the youngest is three or four years old, and there is also a girl. Maodan is their uncle, and he can't read, so I guess those kids can't read either. How about this, tell your Fourth Aunt Xie to send all the kids over here, teaching one is the same, teaching a group is the same. Those kids are young, and teaching them to read and write from a young age will be beneficial for their future."

Jiang Wan also had this idea, but she was worried that the children were too young and Jiang Weiran would have a hard time.

Jiang Weiran said stubbornly, "Wan'er, Daddy is not going to take the imperial examinations anymore. I have studied for more than ten years, and I can't study in vain. Now Daddy is worried that no one will listen to all the nonsense he has in his mind. Xiaolan is smart, so I don't need to say more. But the children of your Fourth Aunt Xie are at a good age to learn to read and write. If you miss it, you will regret it in the future. It doesn't matter if I work harder, as long as I can help them, I will be satisfied."

Jiang Wan looked at Jiang Weiran's face, which was already covered with wrinkles, and felt a little touched.

Her father, who has a soft personality, also has his own persistence and ambitions.

More than ten years of hard study did not result in a place on the list of successful candidates in the imperial examinations, but it did result in a tolerant and peaceful mind.

"Okay, from now on I will have to call you Teacher."

Jiang Weiran's old face turned red. He wanted to blame Jiang Wan but couldn't bear to do so. He could only helplessly say, "You little girl, you can even make fun of your father."
