As soon as Chu Mingyu left, Mrs. Su couldn't wait to ask: "Tangtang, who was that young lady just now?"
Jiang Tangtang did not hide the matter of cooperation with Chu Mingyu and spoke frankly. He said: "I negotiated a business deal with a bank owner. While I was helping her with advice and running the store, she gave me half of the profit." "
Just giving you half of the profit for coming up with ideas? This... Is the little girl in charge of such a big matter? She couldn't have lied to you, right?"
Although Su is the wife of Marquis Dingbei, she is not good at business and thinks what Jiang Tangtang said is like a fantasy.
"Mom, it's not so easy to share her profits with me. Her shop has been taken away by the shop opposite and is going to collapse. In addition to giving her advice on how to run the business, I also have to help her with the jewelry in the shop. , the shop's income must exceed previous years before she will give me any money. Don't worry, we signed the contract and it was notarized at the Yamen. She can't cheat me." "
So that's it!" Su said to her son now. The more my daughter-in-law watched, the more satisfied she became. "Tangtang is really getting more and more capable. When Shi Li finds a wife who is half as good as you, I will be satisfied." As
she said this, she glanced at Lu Shili, and the smile on her face also changed. It fell down, bringing with it the sadness.
Lu Shili, who was innocently urged to get married, only regretted that his legs could not heal quickly enough and he could not escape.
Su didn't feel it yet, and continued to sigh: "Hey! Li is 19 years old at the beginning of the new year. I don't know if there are any virtuous and good girls in this country."
Jiang Tangtang was embarrassed, "Mom, don't worry, my second brother is here As outstanding as you are, you will definitely have a good marriage." She stood up and said, "I'm going to see what we're going to have for lunch today."
He Qiuniang and Hu Dangui took over the land reclamation work, so it's not good for them to go home to do it. meal.
As for Mrs. Su and Mrs. Lu, it was difficult to even light a fire, let alone cook.
Several turtle doves have been cleaned up by Lu Shiyan.
Jiang Tangtang put the turtle dove in the casserole, put in nourishing medicinal materials such as wolfberry, red dates, and dangshen and simmered it slowly. Then he took out the meat and flour and started kneading the dough and mincing the meat filling.
"Tangtang, do you want me to help you?"
Jiang Tangtang was busy when Mrs. Su walked into the kitchen with a basket of radishes washed and said, "This is the radish sent by Manager Xia's wife."
Jiang Tangtang said: " Mom, you can put it on the stove. No need for help."
"Really?" Ms. Su was a little embarrassed to let her daughter-in-law do everything.
Jiang Tangtang could have grated the radish with the grater in the space, but thinking that Su was no longer the wife of the Marquis, she could not remain ignorant, so she tentatively said, "How about you shred that radish? "
Okay, I'll cut it."
Mrs. Su thought about the way her daughter-in-law used to chop vegetables. She held the knife and radish for a while, then she said "Oops" and the knife fell to the ground. Su Shi held it tightly with her left hand. Holding his right hand, there were dots of blood on the ground.
Jiang Tangtang was shocked and quickly helped her go to Doctor Xue.
Mrs. Su said with a sad face: "I am really useless, I know nothing, and I am dragging you down all the time." "
How could it be? My mother is so good at embroidery, but I can't do it. I have to rely on you for the children's clothes!"
Jiang Tangtang's comfort made Su feel much better. She nodded and said, "I'll make a set of clothes for you and a few of you later. The ones bought from outside are not as fine as those made by myself." "
Mom, don't worry, wait until your hands are ready." Come!" Jiang Tangtang said.
The cut on Su's hand was not deep, so Xue Banxian sprinkled some powder on her wound to stop the bleeding.
But Jiang Tangtang didn't dare to let her help with the kitchen work anymore, lest she cut her hands again.
I originally thought about closing the door later and grating the radish with a grater, but I didn't expect Lu Shiyan to follow Su's injuries and follow him to the kitchen. Don't let Jiang Tangtang say it, just take the knife and start cutting.
Jiang Tangtang glanced at it accidentally, "Good guy, the radish shreds he cut were thin and even, as if he was cutting them with a ruler."
The key is that he can cut it very quickly. He finished cutting the radish in a short time. It's like I graduated from New Oriental.
Jiang Tangtang was so amazed that he forgot that he was kneading dough and just stared at it.
"What else to do?"
Lu Shiyan put down the knife, raised his eyes and looked at her.
After Jiang Tangtang realized that she was obsessed with him, she suddenly felt her cheeks getting hot and stammered: "No...there's nothing more to do...go and have a rest!"
Lu Shiyan saw that her face was red and she was speaking nervously. With a look on his face, the corners of his mouth curved up happily, "Let me help you knead the dough!"
He is naturally good-looking, and usually you have a cold face but you are so handsome that people can't take their eyes away. With such a gentle and smiling look, It makes people feel itchy even more.
Jiang Tangtang took several deep breaths before he controlled himself and suppressed the rogue thoughts that were about to tease him.
"Then come on!" She handed the dough to him and went to process the shredded radish herself. She planned to make radish cake for lunch today. The shredded radish must be blanched to remove the spiciness and seasonings added to make the filling.
Jiang Tangtang didn't prepare any other meals at noon, but only made pancakes. But one part is a meat patty, and the other part is a spicy radish patty.
Steward Xia was polite and took the initiative to bring radishes. Jiang Tangtang was also polite and brought more than ten freshly fried pancakes to Steward Xia's family.
Wang Lachun refused to accept it, "You kid, you are too polite. We can't finish the radish at home, and it will get old if left in the field. Why did
you bring the cake?" Jiang Tangtang said with a smile: "Aunt, try it. My craftsmanship. My family has no land now, and I thought I would ask you for radishes later when I get greedy. If you don't accept them, I'm embarrassed to ask."
Wang Lachun scolded: "It's just a radish, not a radish." What good stuff? Well, that whole piece of land belongs to my family. If you want to eat it next time, just go to the ground and pull it out."
She pointed a piece of land to Jiang Tangtang and finally accepted the cake Jiang Tangtang sent.
Jiang Tangtang's pancakes are as big as the mouth of a bowl and are fried until golden on both sides. They are delivered right out of the pan and are still steaming, which is when they are fragrant.
Wang Wachun couldn't help but sip a mouthful of saliva as he held it in his hand.
Jiang Tangtang said goodbye with a wink, and Wang Lachun was no longer polite and quickly walked into the main room with the cake in hand.
The Xia family is planning to have lunch now.
As the steward in charge of Zhou Nanzhuang, Manager Xia not only received a salary from the court, but also received harvests from the fields, so his life was pretty good.
Although we don't eat meat every day, there is no shortage of food and drink at home. I don't hesitate to use oil when cooking. My daughter-in-law also fried a piece of bacon for the dish at noon today.
But the pancakes Wang Lachun brought in made everyone so greedy that the meat on the table no longer tasted good.
"Mom, what are you serving here? Why does it taste so good?" said Gu, the third daughter-in-law, looking longingly at the cake in her mother-in-law's hand.
"The cake Jiang sent is to thank me for the radishes I sent you today!"
Wang Lachun smiled and distributed the cakes to everyone, and praised: "If you ask me, this Jiang is really a good person, but he only has a few radishes." That's all, so I hurriedly sent over the cakes."
Jiang Tangtang took a total of sixteen cakes, and after each person got one cake, there were still four left. The few people who finished eating first looked at the remaining cakes with burning eyes.
"Mom, Chihuahua will go to school for a while to study. It's a waste of time. Give him another cake from the remaining cakes!" Mrs. Zhao, the eldest daughter-in-law, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at the remaining cakes.
Wang Lachun glared at her and said, "I guess you want to eat it!"
Although he said that, he still took a piece of cake to his eldest grandson Xia Ji. Seeing the second daughter-in-law looking over, she gave another one to her second grandson Xia Xiang.
There were two pancakes left, but he couldn't bear to divide them any more. One was given to his man, and the other was eaten by himself.
When Mrs. Gu saw that she didn't have a share, she was very angry.
The second and third bedrooms in the big house get an extra slice of pie, so why does the third bedroom have one less pie? Although Sanfang has no grandson, she is a pregnant woman. Shouldn't a pregnant woman get one more?
Thinking in his mind, he complained to Jiang Tangtang, why didn't he send more cakes? My father-in-law is the steward of Zhuangzi. He wants to curry favor with his family, but he is still so stingy...
