After wearing it: I traded a pig for a man.
Chapter 66 Cooked Duck
Jiang Che's breath hitched for a second, then he heard, "Wow, you can actually say so much in one go!"
Jiang Che's face showed a moment of helplessness.
Jiang Yunning always manages to ruin a good atmosphere in an instant.
"Then, do you like it when I listen to you talk?" Jiang Che mustered his courage and looked at her somewhat nervously.
Jiang Yunning didn't think much of it: "Yes, I like it. Your voice is nice."
It's very similar to the voice chat host she was pursuing in modern times.
However, she was too poor at that time, and could only spend a little time each day to extend her playtime.
"Okay." Jiang Che smiled as well. "Then I'll try to talk more in the future."
Jiang Yun Ning nodded, and just as she was about to leave, Jiang Che grabbed her arm.
The jade pendant that she had put back was now back in her hand.
"Take this, just consider it... just consider it as keeping it for me." He lowered his head, embarrassed and unable to look at her. "I'm going to feed the pigs."
Jiang Yun Ning looked at Jiang Che, who was moving his arms and legs in a confused manner, shrugged helplessly, put away the jade pendant, and went to find Liu Yu Zhi.
At this moment, upon learning that Jiang Yuning was going to build a brick and tile house, Jiang Mancang was so angry that he couldn't stand anything.
After wandering around the house for a while without finding anything to vent to, he could only run to the yard and complain to Jiang Youfu.
"Dad, did you know that Uncle's family is building a house? What exactly are they doing? They were recruiting workers in the village a few days ago, twenty coins a day per person. They even provide meals. Such a good deal, why don't they invite our own family members?"
Jiang Youfu was repairing a hoe and didn't even look up: "Why don't you go up the mountain to chop firewood instead of wasting your time? Or you can go up the mountain with your mother and your wife and look for wood buns."
If you're willing to put in the effort, you can earn twenty or thirty coins a day.
Jiang Mancang curled his lip: "I'm not going. What can you do with this little bit of money? It can only buy a pound of pork."
He just wanted to know what Jiang Yun Ning was doing at home that enabled him to build a house.
If he could secretly learn it, wouldn't he be rich?
Just as I was getting excited, I heard an old voice in my ear.
"Fully invested."
Jiang Liushi walked out shakily: "Pour me a glass of water."
Jiang Mancang rolled his eyes: "Grandma, you should ask my second uncle to pour it for you. Oh, he's in town. How about I talk to him when he comes back next time? You can wait here for now."
"You!" Jiang Liu was so angry that her chest felt tight.
This is her beloved eldest grandson.
"Eldest son, how can you treat your son like this?" Looking at the silent Jiang Youfu, Jiang Liushi was very disappointed.
She gave all the good things she had received from the third son to the eldest son's family. She even used the money that Granny Yang returned to pay off her debts.
As a result, because she gave another portion to the second child, now the eldest child's family is ignoring her?
"Mother." Jiang Youfu stood up and shook the hoe in his hand. "You're getting old, you should go back inside and lie down."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Liushi's face turned ashen.
She shook her head with cloudy eyes and shakily went back into the house.
At this point, she began to regret her past favoritism and her excessive pampering of her two unfilial sons.
Jiang Laosan acted quickly, seemingly eager to move into the new house.
They went out and called a few people to help them move. Before noon, the family's belongings were moved into an empty house at the west end of the village.
Some large items that were difficult to move were temporarily stored at Aunt Hua's house.
As the sun rose higher in the sky, Jiang Yun Ning grew restless.
In the past two days, students have been asking her if she could sell ice jelly at lunchtime.
She promised, and she went there for half a day yesterday. She can't just break her promise today, can she?
"Yun Ning, your mother and I can take care of things at home, you don't need to worry about it." Liu Yuzhi knew that she was reluctant to part with the money from selling ice jelly, so she directly told her to leave.
Jiang Yun Ning smiled, called Jiang Che to hitch up the carriage, and they went to the town again.
She spent money like water while building the house, and she couldn't let go of any opportunity to make money.
As soon as the oxcart came to a stop, Jiang Youcai, who had been waiting in the shade of the trees, came over.
He had a smile on his face, but his eyes kept glancing at the wooden barrels on the oxcart.
"Yun Ning," Jiang Youcai said, looking at her, "you must be exhausted from going to town every day."
Jiang Yun Ning ignored him and started setting up the stall with Jiang Che.
"How about this, I'll pay you twenty taels for your recipe, and you can go home and enjoy your life. What do you say?" He held up two fingers, eagerly awaiting Jiang Yun Ning's agreement.
They even started planning to make their own ice jelly and supply it to Zuixianlou once they got the recipe.
Why would I still be working for someone else then?
Jiang Yuning rolled her eyes at him and waved the feather duster around a few times: "What a huge fly."
Jiang Youcai was a little angry, but he held back: "Twenty-five taels."
Anyway, Zhang Fu gave him fifty taels of silver to buy the recipe, so whatever was left over was profit.
At this moment, he began to feel fortunate that Jiang Yun Ning had called him "Second Uncle" that day at Zuixianlou. Otherwise, this good job would not have fallen into his lap.
"Jiang Che." Jiang Yun Ning was somewhat irritated.
She only called out once, but Jiang Che already understood what she meant. He grabbed Jiang Youcai's arm and shoved him aside, saying, "If you come any closer, don't blame me for being impolite."
Jiang Youcai's eyes widened, but he knew he couldn't win, so he could only slink away.
We'll think of a solution when we get back. We can't afford to anger people again now, or it will make buying the formula even more difficult.
Jiang Youcai sighed. The fifty taels of silver in his arms hadn't even warmed up yet, and he was already afraid that the cooked duck would fly away again.
Just as it was lunchtime, Jiang Anhe stood up and ran outside. Zhang Manjin, who had just reached out to go to the cafeteria with him, was a little stunned.
"Why did you run so fast?" he muttered, patted his chubby belly, and went to the cafeteria.
Jiang Anhe's short legs moved swiftly, finally blocking Shen Yan, who was about to head to the cafeteria.
"Little Anhe." Shen Yan couldn't help but laugh as soon as he saw him: "Why are you running in such a hurry?"
Jiang Anhe let out a breath with her chubby little mouth and wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Brother Shen Yan, here's some candy for you."
The candy in his hand had melted a little, but Shen Yan didn't mind at all and stuffed it into his mouth.
"I'll treat you to some ice jelly." Jiang Anhe raised her head and took his hand. "My aunt said that one should be polite. You helped me yesterday, so I should thank you."
Jiang Qiusheng had just stepped out when he heard their conversation.
Iced jelly? Is that the iced jelly that everyone's been raving about these past few days?
Jiang Qiusheng remained silent, quietly following behind the two.
He wanted to see what this much-praised ice jelly was all about.
When Jiang Qiusheng arrived at the shop and saw Jiang Yunning, he was somewhat bewildered.
This ice jelly business was actually run by Jiang Yun Ning?
At lunchtime, most of the people selling ice jelly were students from Qingshan College. Jiang Qiusheng's clothes didn't stand out among them.
He watched from the crowd for a while and noticed that Shen Yan had drunk two bowls of wine without paying. Since he and Jiang Yun Ning were cousins, shouldn't he be even less likely to have to pay?
Thinking this, he stood up smugly, his eyes flashed, and he quickly and silently left.
He thought no one had noticed his presence, but Jiang Che had already seen everything he did. It was just strange; why didn't he come over to take advantage of him, but simply left?
But after a short while, Jiang Qiusheng returned with a group of people.
