"It's delicious." It was a pity that he didn't eat enough. Lieutenant General Zhao looked at the empty casserole and said regretfully.
A soldier next to him was depressed. Lord Zhao didn't eat enough, so he didn't even have a chance to taste the food. He just smelled the fragrance.
"If you like it, I'll leave some more for you tomorrow," said Jiang Yunzhu.
Deputy General Zhao nodded, "Then I'll come back tomorrow."
That was settled. The long-faced soldier paid for the meal and the three of them left.
When Chen saw the money, she was delighted and whispered to Jiang Yunzhu, "He spent forty coins on this meal." Her tone was full of regret, and it was unclear whether she was amazed at how much Lieutenant General Zhao ate, or happy that she had just earned forty coins.
"We, the restaurant vendors, are afraid of big-bellied men." Jiang Yunzhu said. Forty coins might be a lot of money in Chen's eyes, but it is nothing to the rich.
That Deputy General Zhao was obviously a high-ranking man, so spending a few bucks was nothing.
Chen thought so too, "Then should we make more stew tomorrow?" she asked expectantly.
"Yeah." Jiang Yunzhu nodded with a smile.
Everyone continued to pack up, and Chen picked up a bowl on the table and went across. That bowl belonged to the mutton soup seller across the street, and the soldier had just brought it over, so she had to return it now.
The couple selling mutton soup is a middle-aged couple. The woman’s surname is Sun and she is very good at making soup.
"Your business is really good!" Sun took the bowl and said with a fake smile. Ever since Jiang Yunzhu started to set up a stall, her business has decreased a lot, especially today when Vice General Zhao and his two men usually came to her to drink mutton soup. They were her big customers, but today they were snatched away by Jiang Yunzhu. How could she not be angry
"It's just hard-earned money." Chen said vaguely.
Sun was furious. Who were they trying to fool? They were obviously making money. She gritted her teeth and asked casually, "Look at your daughter. She's pretty and has great skills. Is she married?"
"No."
Sun immediately showed her ability, "Then why do you let her show up in public all day
For a girl, the most important thing is her reputation. If she is like this, who would dare to marry her in the future
Aren't you harming her by doing this? She doesn't understand now, but she might blame you for the rest of her life."
Chen's face turned pale because of what she said. If possible, she certainly hoped that Jiang Yunzhu would have no worries about food and drink at home and then marry a good husband. Sun's words hit her soft spot.
Seeing this, Sun became even more excited, "Women, your husband and children are your support. No matter how much you earn..."
"If that's the case, why does Aunt Sun sell soup here every day?" Jiang Yunzhu had heard her gossiping there a long time ago and was annoyed, so she asked immediately.
"I am the same as you. I am married." Sun didn't expect Jiang Yunzhu, a junior, to interrupt her, and immediately said angrily.
"How is it different? According to what my aunt said, you have a husband and children, so you should stay at home to take care of your husband and children." Jiang Yunzhu said.
Sun's face looked unhappy. She also wanted to enjoy herself at home, but her family was short of money!
"It turns out that husbands and children are not necessarily reliable, but money is reliable. In this case, why don't I make money first, but go home and dream, waiting for a good family to marry me
Which one is more practical? My aunt is so smart, she wouldn't know that, right
Or maybe Auntie is doing it on purpose, she just can't stand seeing others doing well." Jiang Yunzhu sneered.
Sun's thoughts were exposed, her face flushed, and she jumped up and down, "Who did this on purpose? I told you all this for your own good, but you actually bit me back! You really don't know how to appreciate a good person."
Jiang Yunzhu sneered. The most hypocritical thing in the world is the words "for your own good". I am doing this for your own good, so I don't let you go out to make money. I am doing this for your own good... It's all a cover, all for myself.
"Aunt, if you really want to do good for me, you shouldn't say these things to make my mother sad. You should be more practical. For example, if someone slanders me, you can help me clarify it. If others..."
Jiang Yunzhu had only said two sentences when Sun wanted to spit in her face. She wished!
"See!" Jiang Yunzhu said as she had expected. She said to Chen, "Mom, you saw it too. It's not for my good at all. They just want to suppress us and make us feel uncomfortable. If someone says something like this to you again, just don't listen."
Chen also came to her senses and grabbed Sun's face, saying angrily, "If anyone says something bad about my daughter in the future, I will find you first. You have a dirty conscience and a bad heart."
She grabbed Sun hard and there was blood on her face.
"You..." Sun didn't expect that Chen, who looked a gentle person, would start fighting as soon as he said so.
Chen stared at her, her teeth clenched, as if she was ready to fight to the death. She had already lost a daughter, and for this daughter, she would do anything.
Sun was a little frightened by her aura, and she covered her face and said nothing.
Chen then returned to her stall, pushed the cart, and went home with Jiang Yunzhu and others.
When they were quite far away, Sun came to her senses and cursed, "You still want to get married? Just wait to be an old maid at home!"
Chen didn't hear this, otherwise she would have come back to argue with her.
Jiang Yunzhu didn't care after hearing it. It didn't matter whether she got married or not, as long as she had money.
"Yunzhu, what do you think of Qingshan?" Chen asked Jiang Yunzhu on the way back. She had actually been thinking about this matter for a long time, but today she had the chance to ask Jiang Yunzhu.
"Mom, you are in such a hurry to marry me off that you are not fulfilling other people's wishes," Jiang Yunzhu said.
Chen thought about it and decided not to mention it for the time being. Now the family was poor and could not prepare any dowry for Jiang Yunzhu. She would have to endure poverty when she married. When their family had money, everything would be different.
Jiang Yunzhu is right. Making money is the most important thing now! She thought.
Chen became even more motivated. If Sun knew about this, she would probably be so angry that she would vomit blood.
The next day, Jiang Yunzhu indeed stewed more than a pound of meat.
Before noon, Deputy General Zhao arrived in a hurry with two soldiers.
"Delicious mutton soup." Sun shouted loudly when she saw him from afar.
Deputy General Zhao's eyes were fixed on the big casserole in front of Jiang Yunzhu. He had been thinking about this pot of meat since last night.
Sun was prepared. "Guest, today we have your favorite lamb tongue. Would you like to have some?"
Upon hearing this, Deputy General Zhao stopped and looked in her direction.
Sun glanced at Jiang Yunzhu and Chen with a smug look on her face, then picked up a lamb tongue from the soup pot and showed it to Deputy General Zhao.
It turned out that Sun's stall not only sold mutton soup, but also mutton offal soup. Deputy General Zhao liked to eat mutton tongue very much. In order to get him to come to her stall every day, Sun did not prepare mutton tongue for him every day, but only prepared it every three or five days, just to hook him.
Yesterday, Sun had a falling out with Jiang Yunzhu and Chen. She decided to let Deputy Zhao take over her stall today, so she specially prepared lamb tongue today.
Chen received her look and was angry and anxious. Today they specially stewed more than a pound of meat. If Deputy General Zhao and the other three don't come to eat, it will be a loss! Besides, it's too infuriating.
Jiang Yunzhu was not in a hurry. She had asked Jiang Cheng yesterday when she returned. There was only one deputy general named Zhao in the mine's garrison, who was responsible for patrolling the mine. He was honest and never made things difficult for the miners, so many people knew him.
Jiang Yunzhu thought that such a person should fulfill the promise she made yesterday.
