Chapter 422

"The monument of merit?"

Ding Simiao nodded: "Yes, I heard them say that."

Jiang Zhinuan rubbed his temples: "This is too exaggerated, Ah Miao, prepare yourself. When the rain stops, let's go quietly."

Ding Simiao nodded: "Sure, I'll boil the medicine first."

The rain continued to fall intermittently for another two days, and the dark clouds in the sky had completely let go. I heard that several villages in the upper reaches were washed away and the damage was severe.

Those in the neighboring villages, who have time and time, followed the village chief to help.

No one came to her mother-in-law's house to look for her, so Jiang Zhinuan took the time to teach her two sons his roast duck skills.

The mother-in-law stays at home all day and has never been out of the village a few times in her life, but the mother-in-law's two sons are different. They work outside and often go out for a walk.

The boss who does the work is also a businessman. He travels all over the world. He just came back from Yongning County a few days ago, and he brought roast duck when he came back.

It is said that after the boss tried it, he chased Brother Zhao to ask about the recipe. Brother Zhao only said that he needed to join the company and needed time to contact the founder. After talking about the franchise fee, the boss gave up.

Now that Jiang Zhinuan wanted to teach them for free, the mother-in-law's two sons waved their hands in fear and dared not accept it.

After learning about the expensive franchise fee, the mother-in-law shook her head again and again.

"Girl, the franchise fee is too high, we don't want to learn."

"Grandma, I teach for free, and I don't charge money."

When she said that, her mother-in-law disagreed even more, she couldn't take advantage of others for nothing, and it was still a money-making craft.

"It's even worse if you don't charge money. Miss, we appreciate your kindness. Let's forget about it."

Jiang Zhinuan insisted that he did not ask for anything in return for doing good deeds. To Jiang Zhinuan, it was her mother-in-law who took them in first, and she was repaying her mother-in-law.

Although the condition of the mother-in-law's family is not good, the two sons are well-raised and both are honest people with good character.

She intended to help them improve their lives, and since they refused to learn for free, Jiang Zhinuan thought of a compromise.

"How about it, mother-in-law, I won't say it's free. I'll teach them the skills first, let them open the shop first, and when they make money in the next year, I will make up for the franchise fee. Is this the head office?"

The mother-in-law looked at her two sons hesitantly.

Can this shop make money? Do her two sons have the ability to do business? If they don't make money, how can they pay the franchise fee?

The two sons got together to discuss for a while, and their boss wanted to learn this skill at first, which shows that there is indeed a market for Jiang Zhinuan's roast duck.

They work with their bosses and work hard every day. After a month, they are only a few hundred coins. If this continues, when will they earn their wife's capital and let their mother live a good life?
Why not take this opportunity to fight hard.

"Mother, we think Miss Jiang's method is feasible, we owe it first, and make up for Miss Jiang when we make money."

Seeing that the two sons agreed, the mother-in-law did not stop her.

But she took out the land deed of the house, and handed it to Jiang Zhinuan no matter what she said: "This is the most valuable thing in our house, and I will mortgage it to you first."

"Mother-in-law, I can really keep this title deed first, but I'm not going home right now. I'm going to Wangcheng. The mountains are high and the road is far away. I might encounter something on the way. Such a valuable thing is in my hands. I'm not at ease, I'd better stay with you first and pick it up when I return, Kecheng?"

The mother-in-law can only nod: "I listen to you."

Jiang Zhinuan didn't waste time, she was pregnant and it was inconvenient to go out more, so she asked Ding Simiao to take her mother-in-law's two sons to the reed marsh, and taught them how to catch wild ducks, and then imparted some experience on how to raise wild ducks in captivity .

Let them earn part of the money from the wild ducks they caught scatteredly, and then consider whether to directly enclose the reeds or start a duck farm, it is up to them to decide.

Since he didn't have time to teach them beekeeping techniques, and the price of honey was really high, Jiang Zhinuan removed the step of brushing the roast duck with honey.

Although the taste is slightly worse, it does not affect the overall taste of the roast duck.

She stayed at her mother-in-law's house for two more days, and taught them how to make roast duck with Ding Simiao. Before leaving, she left them the design of the oven and asked them to go to the blacksmith's shop to make it.

After making sure that the two of them could get started, Jiang Zhinuan didn't linger, and quietly left before dawn.

As for the appreciation banquet that the village chiefs mentioned, Jiang Zhinuan really didn't want to attend.

Lei Feng didn't leave a name for his good deeds, so why should she be so high-profile.

However, after Jiang Zhinuan left secretly, the village chiefs still decided to erect a merit monument for her, and reported Jiang Zhinuan's deeds to the Jinling County Government Office to which they belonged.

The scale of this flood peak far exceeded Jiang Zhinuan's imagination. After leaving Qitai Village, they passed by several villages that were washed away by the flood.

The post-disaster reconstruction work is very difficult.

Many victims had their homes washed away and lost everything, so they could only flee to Jinling County together.

Sitting in the carriage, Jiang Zhinuan felt really uncomfortable looking at the victims along the way. She only saved a small number of people, and a large number of people were forced to leave their homes.

She can only distribute her dry food to those victims along the road.

"A Miao, did you leave your hometown like this at that time?"

Ding Simiao nodded: "It's even bigger than this team. There are almost 1 people who left their hometowns and walked on the road, stretching for thousands of miles. There are countless people who can't persevere and fall on the road every day and never go back to their hometowns."

Jiang Zhinuan sighed heavily. Fortunately, Ding Simiao and his three brothers survived.

Life is so tragic, and it is so difficult to even survive.

After driving for seven or eight days, their carriage finally arrived in Jinling County.

A large number of disaster victims had poured into the city, and the streets were in disarray. Ding Simiao managed to find an inn to rest in a carriage.

"Auntie, let's stay here for two days before leaving. The carriage is really bumpy. I have to go to a pharmacy to get some anti-fetal medicine."

Although Jiang Zhinuan wanted to rush to Wangcheng as soon as possible, he also had to think about the child in his stomach, so he agreed to Ding Simiao's proposal.

"Sure, let's stay here for two days."

When Ding Simiao was about to go out, Jiang Zhinuan took him a lot of copper coins from the money bag: "You take it with you, if you encounter really bitter ones, leave some for them, even if it can make them eat hot steamed buns."

"it is good."

When they came all the way into the city, they saw that sheds and cauldrons had already started to be set up outside and inside the city. If the prefect of Jinling County was not greedy, these victims would be able to eat soon.

Jiang Zhinuan lived in a room facing the street, and the hustle and bustle outside was a bit noisy. Just as she was about to close the window and go to sleep, she heard a burst of mournful cries.

Immediately afterwards, the crying sound became more and more loud, and Jiang Zhinuan hurriedly climbed on the window to look down.

I saw several fleeing victims lying on the street, and someone beside them was crying bitterly.

Jiang Zhinuan hurriedly went downstairs and left the inn. When she got closer, she realized that there were a lot of vomit and excrement around those people. The smell was so bad that she almost didn't spit it out on the spot.

Soon a yamen servant brought a doctor to look at it, and the doctor frowned and shook his head after seeing it.
