Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 157

The fourth prince's family?
Jiang Zhiyue asked, "Is it the Lin family?"

Li Wendao: "Yes, it's the Lin family. The master told you about this."

Jiang Zhiyue didn't explain, and Ouyang Ming didn't tell her about these things, they were all based on his memory before coming here.

But regarding Li Wen's claim that Ouyang Ming had no money, Jiang Zhiyue was still somewhat puzzled.Ouyang Ming is naturally not the kind of person who has money in his hands and can't even feed his soldiers well.

So there can only be one possibility, that is, the money is really not enough.

However, the original book said that after Ouyang Ming escaped from the pursuit of the court, he took over many profitable businesses secretly after he recovered from his injuries.

Although the fate of this life is different, this person's thinking should not change much.

Besides the bookstore she knew, Ou Yangming should have many other ways to make money.So what's going on here?
Without waiting for Jiang Zhiyue to ask, Li Wen explained on his own: "Actually, it's not that there is not enough money. Miss Jiang doesn't know how to stay in this stable place. Now there is less food on the market, and the price of food is also skyrocketing. Even if you have the money to buy it, you can’t buy it.”

"Ms. Jiang also knows that we have a lot of people. In order to make the brothers full, we can only buy fresh food. As for vegetables and meat, we can save money. Anyway, we can eat enough."

Jiang Zhiyue nodded and asked, "What are the prices of various grains on the market today?"

Li Wen told all the news he knew in detail, and Jiang Zhiyue just remembered what Li Wen said in his heart.

After a while, the three of them arrived in the town. Jiang Zhiyue first took them to the grain shop in the town to check the situation.

The situation is just as Li Wen said, the price of food is rising.

Jiang Zhiyue didn't buy any grain either, and walked out of the grain shop after asking the price.

The guy at the back muttered behind him: "Tch, you're dressed decently, but after asking around for the price, you don't even buy a catty of grain."

Li Wen followed Jiang Zhiyue and asked, "Miss Jiang, where are we going?"

Jiang Zhiyue walked in the direction she remembered, and said, "Look for Ren Yazi to buy a few people and go back."

Li Wendao: "Miss Jiang wants to buy people to handle errands? You can send people on the mountain as you like."

Jiang Zhiyue glanced at him and said: "Buy a few people to go back and help cook and wash clothes, and by the way, buy a few more to take care of the home. It doesn't take the people on the mountain."

Her mother, second aunt and third aunt all arranged things to do in the workshop. After working in the workshop for a day, they had to wash and cook when they got back. It was really too tiring.

Therefore, it is more convenient to buy a few people and go back.

Seeing what Jiang Zhiyue said, Li Wen didn't say anything more.

On the contrary, Saburo, who had been following silently, was a little puzzled when he heard what Jiang Zhiyue said about the people on the mountain.

It's just that he didn't ask too many questions, Jiang Zhiyue had warned him before leaving, not to make mistakes when he was outside.

However, he still asked about the purchase: "Sister, where do you go to live after you buy someone? Although we have a lot of houses, there are not many vacant rooms."

Once Mr. Bai came, the last empty room left was gone.

Jiang Zhiyue thought about it for a while, the idea of ​​buying people came suddenly, and it is true that they did not prepare a residence for them.

She said: "It's the hottest time now. After buying people back, we first build a few thatched houses, and then build a yard next to our house for them to live in."

This time Jiang Zhiyue plans to buy two women who cook, and then look to buy a few who seem to be able to look after the home.

Passing by a place selling vegetables, Jiang Zhiyue first asked Sanlang to buy some vegetables and meat.

While a few people were talking, they had already arrived at the tooth shop.

Jiang Zhiyue walked in with the two of them. Inside was a middle-aged man who looked shrewd.

Yaren rushed up to greet him, and said enthusiastically: "Guests, I want to buy someone."

Li Wen then said: "Yes, quickly bring your people out for our girls to see."

"Okay, guest officer, please come inside."

Yaren happily brought people in, and then brought out a whole yard of people, all of whom had signed the contract of sale.

All of them had a disheartened look on their faces, as if there was no hope for the future.

"This girl, let's see if you like it. Many of them have worked in rich families before. When you buy them back, you can start doing things directly, and you don't need to bother to adjust them."

Jiang Zhiyue looked at the people standing in the yard and asked, "Do you think you are good at cooking?"

People standing in the courtyard look at me, and I look at you.

Do you think your craft is good? Why don’t you just say it by yourself! It’s better to be bought out than to stay in this dental shop.

Immediately, several people stood up, a total of three women and one man.

Several women rolled their eyes, but Jiang Zhiyue did not make a sound.

She looked at the man and asked, "Do you have a kitchen here?"

The tooth man said: "Yes, yes, yes! Girl, do you want them to show their hands on the spot?"

Jiang Zhiyue looked at the women with wandering eyes and said: "There is no basis for what you say, so it's better to let them all show their abilities, and it will save me buying them back and selling them again."

As soon as Jiang Zhiyue said this, there was indeed a woman who was a little frustrated.

There is no woman in this world who can't cook, but the food they cook can't starve to death, it must not be called delicious.

Jiang Zhiyue motioned to Sanlang to take out the prepared vegetables and meat, and Yaren led everyone to the kitchen.

Besides vegetables and meat, Saburo also bought a lot of seasoning Jiang Zhiyue on the way here, and now they are all neatly arranged on the table.

Jiang Zhiyue said to the four people who stood up: "The ingredients are all there, you can just make what you are good at, and the seasoning is enough, so don't use it sparingly."

There are three pots in the kitchen and another pot in the yard, just enough for the four people.The man and one of the women washed their hands before taking the ingredients, and rolled up their sleeves.

The other two directly picked up the ingredients on the table and started to do it.

Jiang Zhiyue looked at the two people who knew how to wash their hands before cooking, and she already gave them points in her heart.

The woman whose eyes were rolling just now was still dirty, and although the other woman's hands were clean, her dusty sleeves rubbed against her when she picked up the meat, and her nails were also dirty.

Seeing this, San Lang wanted to remind them to wash their hands first, but Jiang Zhiyue stopped them.

After that, no one said anything, and they all concentrated on watching the four people cooking.

In fact, in the end, everyone's eyes were attracted by the man who stood up.

His cooking movements are smooth and smooth, and the vegetables and meat slices are evenly thick, and his movements are fast. Just by looking at his movements, he feels that he is a person with good cooking skills.

The other three were not slow to cook, and the two women were cooking at about the same speed, and there was nothing wrong with their movements.

On the contrary, it was the woman with wandering eyes who saw the meat on the table, grabbed a large piece of meat and put it on her chopping board, her saliva was about to flow out.

She took a knife and cut it randomly a few times. The pieces of meat were big and small, which looked messy, and then she poured them into the pot, and put some of the seasonings on the table into the pot. .

After a while, all the dishes cooked by the four were served and placed on the table in front of Jiang Zhiyue.The last woman who brought out the dishes was almost drooling when she smelled the meat on the plate.

Fortunately, he didn't forget that Jiang Zhiyue was here to buy someone, so he held back the meat, but his eyes were salivating as he stared at the fragrant meat and vegetables.

The tooth man looked at her embarrassing appearance, walked around behind her and knocked her with the whip in his hand, and gave her a glare to remind her when she looked over.

Jiang Zhiyue took a bite one by one, and when she tasted the man's dishes, her delicious eyes narrowed.

One of the women saw Jiang Zhiyue's expression when she tasted the man's dish, and guessed that the food she cooked must not be as good as the man's.

Jiang Zhiyue only tasted the chopsticks once before stopping, looked at the man and said, "You are good at crafting, what's your name?"

The man cupped his hands towards Jiang Zhiyue and said, "Chen Quan, a villain." After speaking, he stood quietly aside.Jiang Zhiyue said: "This one is called Chen Quan, and I want that one. What's your name?"

Jiang Zhiyue pointed to the gloomy woman and said.

Although the woman's cooking is not as good as this Chen Quan's, it is also delicious and delicious. There are many people in the family, and it is not enough to buy only one cook.

The woman was stunned for a moment before realizing that Jiang Zhiyue was talking about her, and quickly replied: "My name is Tian Qiu."

"Chen Quan and Tian Qiu are the only ones. If you have any skills, you can come forward and recommend yourself."

Hearing Jiang Zhiyue's words, Tian Qiuxin knelt down in front of Jiang Zhiyue and said, "I beg the master to buy our family."

Before Yaren could react to stop her, she added very quickly: "My man is very skilled and can drive a car. Although my son is young, he used to be the master's bookboy in the family, and he can read a lot of characters and do odd jobs. It's also fast."

The Yaman hesitated to speak, Jiang Zhiyue looked at him and said, "What do you want to say?"

Yaren was afraid that if Jiang Zhiyue agreed to Tian Qiu's request, after a while he would not even want Tian Qiu, so he could only say: "Tian Qiu's man is injured, it's hard to say whether he can survive."

Tian Qiu knelt on the ground and kowtowed, blood was seen on his forehead after a while.

"Miss Qiu, please buy us all, our family will be loyal to you."

Yaren was a little embarrassed, he looked at Jiang Zhiyue and asked: "Miss, look at it? If you take that man away, I'll give it to you for nothing, but their son is really smart. If you want it, you have to press it Pay the price."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhiyue said: "Why don't you see the child, take me to see it first and then make a decision." Yaren leaned over and made a gesture of invitation, and took Jiang Zhiyue to the woodshed in the back yard. "The man was injured and still sick. I was afraid that the sickness would be passed on to others, so I put him here first."

Jiang Zhiyue was noncommittal, and only motioned for him to open the door.
