Chapter 219 Envy

Several members of the Jiang family were instantly excited when they heard that Madam Zhou had made sixty taels a month, especially Jiang Xiaoqiu. She only wanted to make money so that her family could live a good life. She almost fainted from excitement because of the news.

"Grandma, grandma, I've decided that I'm going to sell things too! I'm going to tell my aunt now that I can do it too!" Jiang Xiaoqiu clenched her fists.

Tao Shi subconsciously looked at Xin Cun, "Xin Cun, if Xiao Qiu really goes to Fucheng to sell things, can you take care of the land at home?"

The Jiang family and the Xin family are still working hard on their yards, and it is estimated that it will take more than a month for people to move in. During this period, Xin Cun and Jiang Xiaoqiu went from Dongli Villa to Xinghua Village every day, and did not come back until dark. This is how the land works. The work is not done yet.

Xin Cun wanted to say it didn't matter, but when he saw Tao's wise eyes, he couldn't even lie.

Jiang Xiaoqiu was a little discouraged, "Grandma, Grandma, maybe I'm really not good at farming. I'm obviously studying seriously, but I can't hold the hoe after a long time. Look at my hands."

Jiang Xiaoqiu spread out his hands, and there were a few clear blisters on them.

Tao's eyes turned red with distress, while Guo nervously touched Jiang Xiaoqiu's hand, and Jiang Xiaoqiu's expression changed when she touched those blisters.

Guo couldn't help but cry again.

Jiang Xiaoqiu shouted loudly, "Don't cry! Don't cry!"

Guo was so frightened that she held back her tears. She turned to the direction of Tao and said, "Auntie, why don't we let Xiaoqiu go to the city to do business! Let Xiaoqiu go from the beginning. If we can really Let Xin Cun go together to make money, and the fields will be leased to the villagers, and we can harvest a few percent of the grain."

This year they planted a lot of taro and sweet potato in the fields. The rice in the paddy fields was also provided by rice seeds from Jiangning. The harvest from these few acres of land alone was enough for their family to live on. It would be okay to rent out the remaining fields. , we can’t exhaust Xin Cun anymore for those places.

Tao had no choice but to agree to this.

The next day Jiang Xiaoqiu went to find Jiang Ning. She was very direct. She said from the very beginning that she was not a farmer. She also showed Jiang Ning her hands, which looked pitiful and funny at the same time.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but want to laugh when he thought of how he was in such a difficult situation, and complained angrily: "Why didn't you come to your aunt earlier? Is it possible that your aunt can still bargain with you?"

"No! That's not what Xiaoqiu meant!" Jiang Xiaoqiu didn't know why she, who was so self-disciplined at home, couldn't help but become well-behaved when she was in front of her aunt, and sometimes even acted like a baby.

Jiang Ning said clearly: "Okay! Since you want to do business, have you thought about what business to do? Do you have any ideas? For example, which line of business to do, what are the requirements, etc."

Jiang Xiaoqiu shook her head in a very bachelor manner, "Aunt, my mind is empty and I know nothing. I will do whatever you say."

"Hahaha" Yang Erdan and his wife walked to the door and happened to hear these words and couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Xiaoqiu blushed instantly, "Second cousin, second cousin, you just heard wrong!"

Yang Erdan and his wife smiled even deeper and stepped forward to greet Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning looked at Xu Nuoyan with a smile and said, "You came just in time. Yesterday, your mother-in-law was really good. She came here and threw away the money and ran away. I don't think I can pay it back. She also made her own decisions and said she would give me the interest on the shop every month." , it can be seen that I am very confident, but I really don’t lack this little money, take it, and if your mother-in-law still insists on giving me money in the future, just keep it and be obedient!"

Xu Nuoyan was blocked by Jiang Ning when he was about to speak, so he could only accept the money obediently.

Jiang Xiaoqiu saw it with her own eyes and became even more excited, "Good aunt, please give me some advice!" After Yang Erdan sat down, he said slowly: "My mother-in-law chose to open a shop in the south of the city because my uncle is studying. If my cousin If you want to open a shop, you have to figure out where to open it, so that my mother-in-law can help you figure out what business to do."

Jiang Xiaoqiu pondered seriously, "The place I am most familiar with is definitely the east side of the city, but most of the shops there sell seafood, and there are often merchant ships trading at the port."

"That's not very good! There are many people, and there are still merchant ships coming and going. You will definitely not lose money on the food." Yang Erdan looked determined.

He is not as good as his brothers and mother in the business field, but he is very knowledgeable and can understand a little bit.

Jiang Ning nodded in agreement and looked at him encouragingly, "Keep talking."

Yang Erdan sat upright and thought about it carefully: "The port is very similar to Songxi Town, but my cousin can't afford a restaurant and inn by herself. She can open a small restaurant and sell some soups, steamed buns, pancakes and the like, but it's not enough for the city." There should be a lot of restaurants like this over there in the east."

Jiang Xiaoqiu nodded slightly, "My second cousin is right, but not right. The shops in the east of the city are not cheap. There are very few people opening restaurants. They are all selling seafood. Moreover, the shops are owned by rich people and poor people cannot afford them. So everyone sets up a stall, and I have thought about setting up a stall before, and I feel envious every time I pass by. Unfortunately, we don’t have the skills, and we can’t even make noodles.”

"Then can you braise fish?" Jiang Ning asked with raised eyebrows.

Speaking of this, Jiang Xiaoqiu straightened up immediately and said, "Yes! I can kill and cook fish."

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "That's easy. Rent a shop near the port to sell food. Boiled fish fillets, pickled vegetables, fish fillets, seafood, fried shrimp cakes, fish cakes, etc. There are a lot of food, expensive and cheap. How about ensuring that poor people can afford it?"

Jiang Xiaoqiu had never heard of these foods and looked curious.

Jiang Ning immediately asked Yang Erdan to call the Tao family over and cook himself, teaching Jiang Xiaoqiu how to make these dishes.

When Tao Shi saw several dishes that were delicious, delicious, and delicious, she was stunned and looked at Jiang Ning in disbelief, "You made them all? When did you have this ability?"

Jiang Xiaoqiu testified at the side, "Grandma, it was really my aunt who did it. I saw it with my own eyes."

Tao Shi was speechless. She took a tentative bite of the boiled fish fillet. The strong fragrance and spicy taste swept through her mouth. Tao Shi's whole face changed. After that, she couldn't help but eat the second one. Mouth, unknowingly, I ate a lot of boiled fish fillets. Guo doesn't like spicy food very much, and prefers pickled fish.

The two raved about the two dishes.

Xin Cun took one shrimp cake and fish cake in one mouthful, which was so hot that he couldn't stop eating.

The three of them saw the deliciousness of these dishes and became more confident in opening a shop.

Xin Cun said worriedly on the side: "Is it okay for Xiaoqiu to kill, cook, and entertain guests all by himself?"

"Why don't you come along and help too!" Jiang Ning said matter-of-factly.

In the end, everyone in the Jiang family decided to rent out the land and let the young couple open a shop.

When the Jiang family restaurant opened near the east port of the city, all the nearby fishermen received the news.

The villagers of Hankou Village also learned of the incident immediately and spread the news back to the village.
