Chapter 30 See Goldfinger Again

Zheng Zhongren also knows that eighty coins is not a small amount.

He got off the carriage and said to Jiang Ming, "I'll try to help you delay for a few days. Brother Jiang can come to me after he goes back to discuss it with his family."

"In this case, Brother Zheng will be troubled." Jiang Mingshun smiled gratefully at him.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a few more words, and then Zheng Zhongren planned to say goodbye and leave.

"Hey, wait a minute, I still have something to trouble Brother Zheng." Jiang Mingshun suddenly remembered something and called Zheng Zhongren again.

Zheng Zhongren turned around in confusion.

Jiang Mingshun touched his head and said sheepishly: "That's right. I heard that girls from cities in the city are also sent to schools to study and learn to read. I wanted to ask Brother Zheng, does our Guangxin County have such a school?"

Zheng Zhongren was stunned, and after thinking about it, he said uncertainly: "It seems there is. I don't know much about these things. I'll ask you later."

"Then I have to trouble Brother Zheng again." Jiang Mingshun was really embarrassed, but he only knew one person who could inquire about information, so he could only bite the bullet and trouble him.

It was getting dark early now, and he didn't want to drive at night in the snow, so Jiang Mingshun kept driving forward.Finally got home before it got completely dark.

In the main room, Mrs. Bai has already lit candles - yes, the family can finally use candles now that they are rich. Dinner is also set on the table, and there are wisps of hot air floating around.

Bai asked Jiang Jinyu to quickly wash her hands and come over to eat, and then asked Jiang Mingshun, "Why are you back so late?"

"I was just about to talk to you," Jiang Mingshun glanced in the direction of the main house, and then asked, "How much money does our family have left now?"

Bai was stunned for a moment, not knowing why he was asking this. She calculated in her mind and told him, "I still have about ninety coins left."

Jiang Mingshun breathed a sigh of relief, then picked up his chopsticks and prepared to eat. The money at home was coming in and out, and he had spent too much on odd things. He really didn't expect that he would still have ninety pounds left.

Jiang Jinyu was still waiting for his father to say something, but he didn't expect him to stop talking in the middle of the sentence.

She pulled Jiang Mingshun's arm to prevent him from eating: "Dad, why did you come back so late?"

Jiang Mingshun was not angry because his daughter was holding her back from eating. He took out the velvet flower he bought in the city today from his purse and put it on her head. He said, "Someone is selling a house near the dock today. I think it's pretty good. I'll talk to Zhong. We went to see it together.

Jiang Jinyu's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she asked clearly: "That house must be very expensive, right?"

Jiang Mingshun first told the two of them what Zheng Zhongren told him, and then he said the price.

Although Mr. Bai was stunned by the price, he had no objection. He just said that he should be careful not to be deceived.

Jiang Jinyu knew that her father wanted to buy it again but thought it was too expensive, so she decided to give it a try: "Let's just buy this!"

When buying a house, you should not only look at the surrounding environment, but also consider the type of the house itself.

Although this house is not a good place for doing business, it is not far from the pier, and the location is quite advantageous.

As for saying that her family would be out of money after buying this house, Jiang Jinyu ran back to her room and took out a piece of paper from under the pillow.

Everything starts in the morning.

The New Year is approaching, and many people are planning to kill the pigs they have raised for a year in exchange for money to celebrate the New Year.

If more pigs are killed, there will naturally be more pig trotters, internal organs, and pig skins.

Jiang Jinyu and her mother went to Butcher Wang's house to buy meat in the morning. Because they bought too much, Butcher Wang gave them a piece of pork liver as a gift.

In the absence of spices, Jiang Jinyu really didn't want to touch any pig offal, so she discussed with Bai and ordered another small portion of pig skin.

Jiang Jinyu originally planned to use pig skin to make pig skin jelly, which would taste better than pork liver without pepper.

When he took it back and asked, Bai didn't know what pig skin jelly was.Jiang Jinyu, who only knew how to eat but not cook, and Bai, who had neither eaten nor cooked, looked at each other for a long time.

Until Jiang Jinyu suddenly had a thought and pulled out the paper originally written with the method of making maltose from under his pillow.

Seeing that it was still densely packed with words, Jiang Jinyu took a closer look and saw that it turned out to be the method of making gelatin tablets.

Her mouth opened in shock, not knowing how to react.

In the past few years, she would occasionally turn out the paper and look at it, hoping to find some new ways to make money.

Unfortunately, it never came to fruition, and she gradually lost interest. Jiang Jinyu thought that her golden finger might be a one-time thing.

Loss was inevitable, but because she had been prepared, she didn't have to worry too much.

I didn't expect to get such a surprise today.

That's what happened now.

Jiang Jinyu shook the paper in his hand: "Dad, we can make money again!"

Without any worries, Jiang Mingshun took all the money at home and went to find Zheng Zhongren the next day.

The landlord was really in a hurry to spend money. Seeing that Jiang Mingshun could pay the money in one go, he readily drew up the documents according to the 75 yuan mentioned earlier.

When he came out of the Yamen again, Jiang Mingshun's basket on his back had become light, but there was a new house deed in his arms.

Zheng Zhongren made a big deal and received a generous commission, so he was naturally very happy.

He walked to the gate of the city with Jiang Mingshun, and then he cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to brother Jiang, I can have a good year this year."

Jiang Mingshun quickly returned the gift, saying that he was the one who should say thank you.

After the two said goodbye again, they went home.

I came back in time, and it wasn't time to prepare dinner at home.

Jiang Jinyu has been waiting for a long time.

After the first snow fell, Bai didn't allow her to run out freely anymore. She would either walk around the village or stay at home, which was really boring.

"Dad," Jiang Jinyu poured a basin of hot water, soaked the handkerchief and handed it to Jiang Mingshun: "Wipe your hands, it will warm up quickly."

"Okay," Jiang Mingshun took the handkerchief and gently pushed Jiang Jinyu to the side: "Stop bringing hot water, be careful not to burn it."

Jiang Jinyu stood nearby obediently, staring at her father eagerly and asked: "Dad, can you take me to see the new house?"

"This is it." Jiang Mingshun opened the door and poured water directly on the unpaved land. This was a place specially set aside for planting some vegetables after spring.

Jiang Jinyu followed behind like a tail.

Jiang Mingshun patted her head comfortingly: "I'll take you there again in the spring."

He was afraid that his daughter would cry, so he took out the house deed from his arms to tease her while talking.

"Here, this is the deed of the house I bought." Jiang Mingshun pointed to the words on it and showed it to Jiang Jinyu: "There are more than a dozen houses and three yards. When we rent out the first two yards, we can still Keep a few rooms for yourself.”

Bai and Jiang Jinyu, who haven't seen the new house yet, looked forward to it.
