Chapter 200: Mengmeng
Chapter 200 Mengmeng
Mrs. Cui comes from a wealthy family, the Hongnong Yang family, and is the legitimate daughter carefully cultivated by the family. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Although she usually doesn't care about anything, she is naturally sensitive to some things.
She will instinctively discover abnormalities through changes in some things.
So Mrs. Cui felt something was wrong.
Hearing these words, Jiang Zhiluo's expression condensed, "My mother's analysis makes sense."
Mrs. Cui took Jiang Zhiluo's hand and patted it gently, "But don't worry too much, even if there is a war outside, you won't be able to get here for a while."
“Our Beizhou area is too far north. Compared with other states, it is remote and desolate, with barren land and low food production.”
“It’s useless to seize the territory here.”
Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said: "Yes, but it will definitely be affected once there is a war."
Mrs. Cui seemed to have thought of something, her expression changed and she said, "That's for sure. I remember that when I was a child, when there was war and civil strife, food prices skyrocketed."
“Not only food, but also the price of salt and other daily necessities will increase to a greater or lesser extent.”
“Food is so expensive that some people will rob it if they can’t buy it.”
Mrs. Cui's face turned pale as she spoke, "Do you know what is the most serious thing?"
“Even some soldiers would wear bandit clothes and pretend to be bandits to steal food.”
“That year, my family, the Yang family, was able to save everything in the family in the chaos because they raised dead soldiers and bodyguards…”
Mrs. Cui is also worried that her worries are unfounded, but she knows that Zhiluo is a smart child.
She still wanted to tell Zhi Luo what was on her mind.
It would be better if there is no war. If there is a war, we can still make some preparations in advance.
Jiang Zhiluo's expression changed, "Mom, I understand."
She almost ignored the salt.
Also prepare some salt.
“Mom, I will bring the bread first. I will go to the academy to deliver the bread to everyone. Then I will sell the remaining bread and buy some grain and salt.”
Mrs. Cui nodded and said, "Mom, I know you know what to do, so just follow the arrangements."
Having a smart and capable daughter-in-law, Mrs. Cui felt that she had nothing to worry about, so Zhiluo planned to arrange everything.
She was also worried that Zhiluo was tired, but every time the child said she was not tired.
She can only do as much as possible to make her feel more relaxed. Support her decisions.
Actually, Jiang Zhiluo doesn’t really feel tired.
It is very easy for her to do this kind of work.
Moreover, living in the village leads to a slow pace of life, as leisurely as on vacation.
The most important thing is that the atmosphere at home is good and makes her feel warm.
After the conversation, Mrs. Cui helped Jiang Zhiluo pack the bread and put it on the cattle cart.
Jiang Zhiluo didn’t waste any time and drove the ox cart to the county academy.
On the bullock cart, Jiang Zhiluo began to think carefully about some of the words Mrs. Cui said.
Jiang Zhiluo rubbed her chin thoughtfully, "Mother, she comes from such a powerful family. If something happens to the Cui family and they are exiled, how can the Yang family not provide support and shelter?"
“Mother said just now that the Yang family cultivates dead men.”
Jiang Zhiluo wondered why the Yang family didn't provide protection for Mrs. Cui and Cui Hejin.
If the Yang family had taken action, Cui Hejin would not have been so seriously injured.
However, although she is confused, it probably involves many things, and Jiang Zhiluo will not get to the bottom of it.
Anyway, she will protect Mrs. Cui and Cui Hejin from now on.
When Jiang Zhiluo arrived at the academy, it happened to be during the academy’s noon break.
Hearing that Jiang Zhiluo was coming, Liu Ting'an realized something and came out with a few classmates who had ordered bread.
“Sister-in-law, you really brought bread!”
Jiang Zhiluo said: "Of course we must do what we promised. These breads were just made in the morning, and some of them are still warm."
Liu Tingan said happily: "The bread made by my sister-in-law is delicious."
Several scholars also came over curiously, "I smelled the fragrance just now."
“This fragrance smells so good!”
“I had a small piece yesterday and it was so delicious that it wasn’t enough. I ordered two for lunch.”
Everyone took money one after another. Jiang Zhiluo brought bread to everyone while collecting copper coins.
This meeting happened to be the lunch break, and many scholars came out together to prepare for lunch.
I saw several classmates gathered around a bullock cart, not knowing what they were doing.
"Brother Lin, what are you doing?" "Are you buying food? It smells good."
“Let’s go over and take a look and see what they are doing?”
Some scholars came over out of curiosity.
“Oh Brother Liu, what are you doing?”
“Yes, Brother Wenzhe, are you buying something?”
Liu Ting'an hurriedly said enthusiastically: "Oh, Chengfei, you came just in time. We just bought bread. This stuff is delicious. We are going to eat it for lunch."
“Yes, this is much more delicious than pastries.”
“I’ve never tasted anything so delicious before.”
Those who had eaten the bread followed Liu Ting'an's words and echoed them one after another.
Liu Chengfei and the others thought it was a bit exaggerated. Some of them came from very good families and had never eaten anything good.
But when they came closer to take a look, they had indeed never seen anything like this before.
Several scholars were hesitant about whether to buy it or not.
Liu Tingan patted his chest and said, "Believe me, it's really delicious."
Jiang Zhiluo smiled, she knew Liu Tingan wanted to help her sell more bread.
This man is really warm-hearted.
Jiang Zhiluo said crisply: "I'll cut some, and everyone can taste it for free."
“If you think it tastes good, buy it. If it doesn’t taste good, don’t buy it.”
She originally wanted to sell the remaining bread at a stall near her residence.
It would be easier if all the bread could be sold in the academy.
You can taste it for free once you hear it, which makes everyone excited.
“Okay, let’s try it first. How does it taste?”
Jiang Zhiluo happened to bring a cutting knife and cut the bread into small pieces.
Let everyone taste a piece.
Everyone took it and tasted it with hesitation.
Everyone was shocked when they tasted it.
“It’s really delicious!”
“This can be eaten directly as lunch.”
Some people didn’t care to say more and said directly: “Girl, I bought three. I should be full after eating three.”
“I’ll buy two.”
“I’ll buy it too.”
Everyone who has tasted it cannot say the word "not delicious" and thinks it is very delicious.
So most of the scholars around bought bread.
After a while, almost all the more than 200 loaves she brought were sold out.
She also left two of them and planned to make lunch by herself.
“Girl, I’ll buy two.”
Jiang Zhiluo said: "Sorry, no more."
“Aren’t there two more?”
Jiang Zhiluo explained: "I am preparing these two..."
Just as he was about to speak, he heard someone exclaim, "Little Miss!"
Jiang Zhiluo looked down and found Miss Qiao's daughter.
Four-year-old cute Qiao Mengmeng.
She was looking up on tiptoes.
The way Jiang Zhiluo looked at her became more and more overlapping with the appearance of the person who was called eldest brother in the dream.
It made her feel a little dazed.
Looking at her, his heart softened involuntarily, "What do you want to see?"
“Sister, can I buy this?”
As she spoke, she took out five copper coins and said seriously: "I have five copper coins."
