Traveling through the famine years with the system to raise cubs

Chapter 55 Insufficient Manpower 2



"Tomorrow, you come to my mansion earlier, the servants and maids in my mansion are at your disposal, just tell me what materials you need!" Li Shanren stroked his beard.

Jiang Ling thought about it, and this might be a solution. Li Shanren has a lot of pots at home, so it's faster to do this, and there is no need to wait for it to cool.

"Yes, but Li Shanren, you know that this kind of food and drink business formula is very important. I hope that I will be in the kitchen alone when I make it." Jiang Ling asked.

"Of course it's no problem. I'll ask Ah Fu to give instructions in a while, and then you can come here around Mao tomorrow!" Li Shan said humanely.

While speaking, Ah Fu had already stood outside the door with [-] copper plates. Li Shanren waved his hand, and Ah Fu came in with a red lacquered square wooden tray. He put the wooden tray on the table and respectfully said to Li Shanren : "Master, here are three hundred copper coins!"

Li Shanren nodded to Ah Fu and said: "Ah Fu, Jiang Shimao will come over tomorrow, and you can make arrangements for the servant girl in the kitchen."

Ah Fu nodded and bowed his head when he heard this, and exited the hall.

"Look a little bit." Li Shanren pushed the square plate in front of Jiang Ling.

With a smile on his face, Jiang Ling poured the copper coins into his purse and said, "Li Shanren, he is kind and generous. I believe you will not deceive me, a commoner, in this regard!"

After hearing this, Li Shanren laughed, praised Jiang Ling a few more words and gave Jiang Ling a box of exquisite pastries.

Before leaving, Jiang Ling poured the other two bowls of syrup into the basin prepared by Ah Fu. This time, Jiang Ling specially asked Ah Fu to add some ice cubes to the basin and send it to the back.

All the men who worked were full of praise. After collecting the money from the men, Jiang Ling left with the three children.

As soon as he got into Uncle Lu's ox cart, Uncle Lu caught sight of the box of pastries in Jiang Ling's hand and said in surprise, "Oh, Yuehuazhai's dim sum? Mrs. Jiang, this Li Shanren is really generous!"

Seeing Uncle Lu's appearance, Jiang Ling asked curiously, "Yuehuazhai? Are the dim sums there delicious?"

"Oh Mrs. Jiang, you don't know that Yuehuazhai's dim sum is one of the best in Pingxi County. I was lucky enough to eat one before. It tastes so good!" Lu Bo said with his eyes narrowed, still Smacking his lips, he seemed to be reminiscing about some delicacies.

Seeing this, Jiang Ling pursed her lips and smiled. She opened the paper wrapping the snack, took a piece from it, and patted Uncle Lu on the shoulder, saying, "Here you are, Uncle Lu, eat quickly!"

"I can't help it, this pastry costs a lot of money! Hurry up! Let the children eat it!" Lu Bo quickly waved his hand and refused.

Although Lu Bo said so, he swallowed his saliva. Jiang Ling smiled and winked at Jiang Suihe. Jiang Suihe stood up carefully from the bullock cart, took the pastry from Jiang Ling's hand, put it in Lu Bo's hand and said: " Uncle Lu, just eat it, my mother said, one must be good at sharing!"

"This...well...well, thank you Suihe!" Facing the boy Lu Bo who had no reason to refuse, he took the pastry without putting it in his mouth, and took a piece of coarse cloth from his arms, carefully He picked up the dim sum and put it back in his arms.

Jiang Ling suddenly thought of something, she asked Uncle Lu to wait for her for a while, and told Uncle Lu to take good care of her three children.Then he got out of the bullock cart and walked towards the alley.

When Jiang Ling came to the previous study, the owner of the study was very impressed with her. As soon as Jiang Ling walked in, the owner quickly stood up from behind the counter and asked, "Sister-in-law, what book do you want to buy today?"

Jiang Ling pointed to the location of the Three-Character Classic and said, "It's still the Three-Character Classic copied by a scholar."

Although the shopkeeper was surprised, he didn't gossip. He took a book from the bookshelf and put it in Jiang Ling's hand.

Jiang Ling looked at the three-character scripture with strong handwriting and asked, "Shopkeeper, I need to ask you something."

The shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand and said politely: "Sister-in-law, if you have something to say, just say it, you don't have to be so polite with me."

"I want to ask, how much will it cost to hire a teacher?"

The shopkeeper was taken aback by what Jiang Ling said. He frowned and quickly looked at Jiang Ling's clothes. No matter how he looked at it, he felt like Jiang Ling was someone who couldn't afford the repair fee.

The shopkeeper shook his head and said with embarrassment: "Well... sister-in-law, I shouldn't have said something, you are not a person who can afford the repair fee with your clothes!"

"It's better if the repair fee is in an ordinary college. It doesn't have to be in money. Sometimes tens of catties of rice or dozens of eggs are enough. But when you said you want to hire a teacher, what do you mean? Please come home?" The shopkeeper hesitated.

"Yes, shopkeeper, you understand correctly, this is what I mean." Jiang Ling said.

"This... let's not talk about the cost, Mr. Teacher needs you to pay for three meals a day, not to mention eating rice, but you can't eat too badly. As for money..." The shopkeeper behind didn't say anything. , just hold out two fingers.

"200 taels?" Jiang Ling blurted out in fright.

"No, there aren't that many. Probably the cheapest teacher needs two taels of silver a month. Sister-in-law, I don't mean that I look down on you. With your family's conditions, it may be difficult to spend two taels of silver a year!" In the end, the eldest brother shopkeeper also felt that his words were a little too much, and quickly covered his mouth and shook his head.

Jiang Ling breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the two taels of silver. This figure was at least within her tolerance.She thanked the shopkeeper and left.

The ox cart creaked and slowly came to Pingxi County.

As soon as he walked to the gate of the county government office, the tall and thin government servant waved at Jiang Ling, and came to Jiang Ling in three steps at a time. Seeing that there was no pot beside Jiang Ling, he couldn't help asking in surprise, "Sister-in-law, today's mint Where's the water?"

Jiang Ling smiled and patted the bamboo tube on her body and said to the tall and thin yamen servant: "It's right here, yesterday you accidentally spilled mint water, and I was greatly inspired and made improvements."

The tall and thin yamen servant didn't seem to understand what Jiang Ling said, he scratched his head with his hands with a puzzled expression and asked, "But sister-in-law, such a small amount is not enough for us!"

Jiang Ling smiled and explained to the tall and thin yamen servant: "Brother, there is syrup in it, you can just use the basin from yesterday, pour this in first, then stir the filling, if there are some ice cubes It's better with ice cubes in it, trust me it tastes exactly the same!"

After hearing this, the tall and thin government servant was dubious and found Jiang Ling's bamboo tube. Jiang Ling sat in the bullock cart with the child and waited for him to come out.

"Sister-in-law, you are really ingenious, no wonder you can teach someone as smart as the young master!"

After hearing this, Jiang Ling covered her mouth with a smile and said politely: "Young master, you are too flattering to our family Yaojie. I am the kind of village woman who doesn't know a single word. How can I raise any outstanding son? It depends on your promotion!"

"No, sister-in-law, you are too polite, young master Yaojie is really outstanding!" The tall and thin yamen servant shook his head and added.

Jiang Ling briefly asked about Jiang Yaojie's current situation, and he let go of his worries when he heard the tall and thin yamen servant say that everything was fine.

After thanking him, Jiang Ling got into Lu Bo's ox cart and walked towards Lu's Village.

When they were approaching Lujia Village, the expressions of the few people who were talking and laughing at first were all froze on their faces, especially Lu Bo, who was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly dropped his whip and jumped out of the car and rushed towards Lujia Village. .

Jiang Ling looked at the dark sky, and suddenly his face sank like water.
