Chapter 192: Night clothes (first update)
The aunt looked at Jiang Zhiluo with admiration.
Mrs. Cui found that Zhiluo was very popular with everyone.
The way everyone looked at Zhi Luo was so enthusiastic.
But that’s right, her Zhiluo is really good.
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said to the aunt: "We also do the chili meat sauce business, and now we have added the bread business."
“This bread is also delicious. Madam, would you like to try it?”
The aunt smiled and said: "Actually, I know that what you make is delicious without tasting it. I'll get two of the same bread."
“I’ll buy your chili con carne sauce. My boss and my son and daughter-in-law all like to eat it. It’s a great meal.”
“And a bottle like that is very resistant to eating.”
“But how can I find you after eating?”
Jiang Zhiluo said: "If you don't mind the trouble, you can go to Cui's house in Donghe Village to buy chili meat sauce from me. Or, I often come here to sell bread at a stall recently, so you can find me here."
“That’s okay.”
Just like that, there were so many people buying that all the bread was sold out in an afternoon.
Mr. Cui and Jiang Zhiluo were very happy after making more than 2,000 yuan.
After they close the stall.
While walking back, Jiang Zhiluo and Mrs. Cui walked from the east street and happened to take a look at the house that the old lady said they could rent out.
Mrs. Cui said: "This place looks good. It's just close to the street. It can be easily known by hanging a sign next to it."
“If you do business here, most of the people who come to buy things are residents nearby, right?”
Mrs. Cui still feels that if she opens a store on a commercial street, the business will be better and there will be more people.
Jiang Zhiluo said: "Mom, after thinking about it, I decided not to rent a store and set up a stall first."
“If you are renting a house or a store, the store needs to be renovated and money needs to be spent, so you should save money first.”
Mrs. Cui nodded, and she listened to Zhi Luo.
After going back for lunch, the two of them got busy making chili con carne sauce.
Make the chili con carne sauce early and send it to the academy early.
…
Jiang Zhiluo was also very busy in the next few days.
Making and selling bread every day, and then making chili con carne.
Every day I can earn about two taels of silver from bread, and I have made some money for several days in a row.
Add one plus, excluding the cost of shopping, and counting the three taels of silver that Wei Xingye gave Shuxiu before, she now has fifteen taels of silver in her hand.
Even the chili con carne has been prepared and more than 300 bottles have been put into it.
The other ones are ready and put in big jars first.
“Zhiluo, we just need to bottle it. We still need two hundred bottles.”
Jiang Zhiluo frowned slightly, "According to the time, Han Bingce will deliver the finished bottles yesterday."
Mrs. Cui said: "Is there something that is delaying me? I think that child is a person who keeps his word and promises. Every time he says he will deliver it on that day, he will deliver it on that day."
After listening to Mrs. Cui’s words, Jiang Zhiluo thought for a moment and said, “Mom, I’ll go to Linxi Village to take a look.”
Mrs. Cui nodded and said, "That's good. Bring the bottle back early and we can bottle it. We can also send the chili meat sauce to the academy early."
“By the way, let’s see if something happened to Mr. Han.”
Although Mrs. Cui didn't have much contact with Han Bingce, she only said a few words every time he came to deliver bottles.
But Mrs. Cui had a very good impression of him.
Jiang Zhiluo nodded.
By the way, I also carried a basket and put a few breads and a jar of chili con carne in the basket.
Jiang Zhiluo was walking to Linxi Village.
It was exactly mid-afternoon when I went there.
This is the off-season for farming, and many villagers in Linxi Village sit together in groups of twos and threes with mats and benches to talk and chat.
Jiang Zhiluo has a very good ear and can hear what they are talking about.
They talked about the shortcomings of some parents and gossip about various families in the village. As we were talking, we started talking about Lin Zhuzhu.
"Have you heard that Lin Zhuzhu has broken off her engagement?"
“What, you’re so good, didn’t you just get engaged and you’re going to get married soon? Why did you break off the engagement?”
“I heard it’s true. The man is a scholar and looks down on Lin Zhuzhu, a girl who kills pigs.”
“Let’s just say, how could a promising scholar be engaged to a girl from the Lin family? Either he has money to pay for the murder case against the Lin family for so many years, or he thinks that the son of the Lin family has a promising future in his studies.”
"That's not the case. It was the Lin family who took the initiative to cancel the engagement. I heard that the engagement money was returned to them."
“What, are the Lin family crazy? They still look down on the Xu family’s conditions. Do they think their girls are a hot commodity?”
“My family’s conditions are much better than those of the Lin family. Could it be that the Lin family suddenly became confused.”
"Who knows, anyway, the Lin family broke off the engagement for Lin Zhuzhu."
"In this case, the Lin family girl has too high a vision and is too picky. Who dares to propose marriage to Lin Zhuzhu?"
“It doesn’t sound good to say that a good-natured girl would kill a pig.”
"Don't say that. Lin Zhuzhu is a good boy with a filial heart and a good heart. No one can make a mistake about this."
“No wonder the Lin family didn’t kill pigs last time they went to the market. They were so busy with these things.”
“Just by doing this, my reputation is really affected.”
…
When Jiang Zhiluo heard these words, she stopped in her tracks.
She listened carefully and understood that Lin Zhuzhu had called off the engagement.
It seems that the incident about the Xu family should be true.
Fortunately, Lin Zhuzhu’s parents were sensible people and could ignore their reputation and only think about Lin Zhuzhu in this feudal era.
Jiang Zhiluo originally thought about going to see Lin Zhuzhu.
But I also thought that at this time, Lin Zhuzhu might want to be quiet for a while.
If she wanted to meet people, she would go to town and set up a butcher stall.
She hasn't been to town these days, so she must need time to adjust her mood.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Zhiluo still did not go, but went to the Han family.
Jiang Zhiluo saw that the door was unlocked and knocked on the door, but there was no response.
“Is there no one?”
She murmured and was about to leave, but suddenly she smelled a faint smell of blood.
Jiang Zhiluo's face suddenly changed, and she realized that there must be someone in the house.
But when I pushed the door, it didn’t open.
“Is anyone there? Is anyone there?”
“Han Bingce, are you at home?”
I shouted several times but got no response.
Jiang Zhiluo looked around, and there was no one there.
In fact, the shabby little house where Han Bingce lives is located at the foot of the most remote mountain in the village.
Jiang Zhiluo could only take a few steps back, quickly jumped up, and easily rolled into the house.
She found that many bottles had been placed in the yard.
“It turns out it’s already done.”
Jiang Zhiluo felt that the smell of blood was stronger after entering the yard.
She followed the breath into the house and saw Han Bingce lying unconscious on the bed.
He was also wearing night clothes.
Jiang Zhiluo was surprised when she saw his outfit.
Did this person go out to be a killer in the middle of the night, dressed like this?
Jiang Zhiluo leaned against the bed, wanting to see how Han Bingce was doing.
Suddenly Han Bingce opened his cold and sharp eyes. There was a dagger in his hand, and he quickly jumped up and put it on Jiang Zhiluo's neck.
