Chapter 17
At three a.m. the next day. It was exactly three o'clock, Jiang Family got up and busied away.
They made their movement light for fear of disturbing the merchants that were staying overnight. But who were Shen Feng Ming and Yang Sheng? They woke up as soon as the family woke up.
Yang Sheng looked at the sky outside. So early?
Looking into the courtyard again, they saw four or five figures busy in the kitchen amidst the warm yellow lights. The scent of hulatang and youmotou wafted in the wind.
"Comparable to our Qilin Guard." Yang Sheng noticed that Shen Feng Ming had also woken up, and muttered. They woke up earlier than chickens and slept later than dogs.
At five, as soon as Jiang Yun Zhu's stall was set up, three unexpected customers came.
She recognized Deputy General Zhao, but she had never met the two deputy generals next to him.
"Why is Customer so early today?" She asked in surprise. A few days ago, Deputy General Zhao only came here after seven.
"Something happened at the mine today... Oh, I forgot to bring you your earthenware pot." Deputy General Zhao didn't say anything in detail. When he saw the steaming big earthenware pot in front of Jiang Yun Zhu's stall, he suddenly remembered.
"It’s fine. Just bring it back to me whenever it is convenient for Customer." Jiang Yun Zhu responded.
"What’s with you two. I brought you congee and you don't think of bringing back the earthenware pot for others." Deputy General Zhao complained about the two people beside him.
"I was thinking about it. I wanted to drink another bowl of beef congee today and bring the earthenware pot back along the way. Who could imagine General Wang wanting the inventory of the warehouse counted in the middle of the night. So I completely forgot." The thin Deputy General surnamed Li patted his head and replied.
"What’s it for? Why take inventory of the warehouse out of the blue?" The black-faced Deputy General surnamed Bao asked.
"Who knows." Deputy General Li said.
"It's none of our business. Drink congee. I didn't have enough congee yesterday." Deputy General Bao rubbed his hands.
"Three bowls. Beef congee." Deputy General Zhao thought for a while, but still didn't remember the full name of the beef congee. So he only said beef congee.
"Customers, yesterday you had raw boiled beef congee. Today I prepared smooth egg beef congee. Do you..."
Before Jiang Yun Zhu could finish speaking, Deputy General Bao said, "I'll have smooth egg egg beef congee. From the sound of eggs in it, it must be better than yesterday's."
"That’s all it takes," Deputy General Li laughed when he heard this.
Nearby, Mrs. Chen couldn't help chuckling. She found that although these three people looked fierce, they were not as domineering as other officials. On the contrary, they were quite interesting.
Jiang Yun Zhu quickly made the smooth egg beef congee.
Shen Feng Ming and Yang Sheng ate some of the beef they bought yesterday. Fortunately, these three came early today, otherwise they might not be able to eat this beef congee.
She noticed that the thin Deputy General just now said that General Wang was counting the warehouses in the middle of the night?
General Wang. The highest rank of defenders here was a general. It was heard he was surnamed Wang.
He checked the warehouse in the middle of the night...
There was too little information. Jiang Yun Zhu had no thought path. But she suddenly thought that mines, iron ore, and iron. They were very sensitive and important in this era of cold weapons.
So, did Shen Feng Ming come here for the iron mine?
Jiang Yun Zhu felt that she had grasped something.
Though her mind was running, the movements of her hands never stop. In a short time, three bowls of smooth egg beef congee were ready.
It was still in three earthenware pots, bubbling and steaming.
"Like I said, this one with egg must be better than yesterday's!" Deputy General Bao remarked, pointing at the congee in the earthenware pot.
"You haven't tasted it yet, so how do you know?" Deputy General Li seemed to like to retort and he asked at once.
"Is there a need to taste? You can tell by looking." Deputy General Bao curled his lips, with a look on his face that ‘you haven’t seen the world, I don't know you’.
Eggs were added to today's smooth egg beef congee. The golden egg flower was hidden among the smooth and tender beef and the crystal clear rice congee. It looked much richer than yesterday.
"I'll try it." Deputy General Zhao took a sip. It was so delicious!
The others didn't bother to talk anymore. Each picked up a spoon to drink the congee.
Don't know how Jiang Yun Zhu did it. The eggs were so tender and smooth, while the beef was so fragrant that the flavor lingered. Even the white rice congee seemed to be delicious.
One earthenware pot of congee seemed like it was scrambling to run into their stomachs.
After a while, the three drank all the congee and patted their stomachs comfortably.
"It's delicious. Boss, do you sell it at noon?" Deputy General Bao asked. If they do, he will come over to eat.
"Sorry, Customer, we won't put out our stall at noon." Before Deputy General Bao showed a disappointed expression, Jiang Yun Zhu changed the subject, "But we can deliver it to the mountain or the foot of the mountain for you."
"What do you mean?" Deputy General Zhao found it novel.
Even Mrs. Chen looked at Jiang Yun Zhu. What was her daughter talking about?
In fact, when Deputy General Zhao said yesterday that he wanted to take away two servings of beef congee, Jiang Yun Zhu had this idea. Takeaway was perfect for the current situation.
It had been hard to always sell breakfast. Sooner or later, transformation was needed.
In the future, she would like to do takeout for lunch and dinner. Just one meat and one vegetarian, two meat and one vegetarian, or two meat and two vegetarian as work box meals. Of course, one can also order a small stir-fry for extra money.
Selling breakfast right now was to target the miners on the mountain.
The takeaway was mainly for the soldiers and craftsmen on the mountain with relatively high monthly salaries.
She had heard from Jiang Cheng before that there was a canteen for the defenders and artisans on the mountain and it was free. And the level. Although Jiang Yun Zhu had never eaten there, one can tell by seeing the soldiers and Deputy General Zhao at the market. Rather than eating the free one, they often come down the mountain to eat the expensive ones. It can be seen that the free ones were probably not very good.
This was the market. What’s more, a market with great potential.
A bowl of hulatang with youmotou only sold for three wens. How much can a box of work box meals sell for? How much should a small stir-fry sell for? The price multiplied and went up. Naturally, the money earned was more.
Most importantly, there was no need to spend money on storefronts for takeaway.
Jiang Yun Zhu told Deputy General Zhao her thoughts. He can order food or order a set meal. Then arrange a time and they will deliver the meal to the designated place around noon.
Deputy General Zhao was very surprised when he heard it, "Is it possible?"
"Can I really order food? I want to eat fatty intestines. I have been wanting to eat them for several days. Miss, I believe in your skills." Deputy General Bao hurriedly said.
"Look at the dish you want to eat..." Deputy General Li looked disgusted. Then he asked Jiang Yun Zhu eagerly, "Can you make fish? Any kind of fish will do. What we make in the kitchen is also called fish." Recalling it, Deputy General Lo felt distress.
The fish made in the cafeteria was too fishy and woody. Even cats wouldn't eat it. It was too hard for a fish-lover like him.
Jiang Yun Zhu raised her eyebrows. Coincidentally, she was best at cooking fish.
"You two." Deputy General Zhao’s cow eyes angrily with glared at their unpromising reaction. What were they snatching for? He hadn't ordered yet!
"Customer, what do you want to eat?" Jiang Yun Zhu asked him.
Deputy General Zhao also wanted to eat fish and fatty intestines. When Deputy General Bao and the others talked of it, his mouth was about to drool. But the two of them had already ordered, and he couldn't order any more.
Unable to some up with anything for a while, he simply took out a piece of silver and handed it to Jiang Yun Zhu, "It doesn't matter what kind of food you make, the more spicy the better." He loved spicy food. The ones made in the cafeteria weren’t flavorful enough at all.
"Okay." Jiang Yun Zhu took the money. Weighing it, it was about half a liang, "I'll bring you the food at noon and give back the change."
She hadn't thought of what kind of dishes to make for him yet. She had to go to the town to see what ingredients were available. Naturally, there was no way to set the price now.
"No need to change. Leave it with you for now. In future, I’ll still buy food from you. I only brought this much with me today. I'll eat from this first. Once it’s used up, I'll give more." Deputy General Zhao said like he didn’t care. He wasn't afraid that Jiang Yun Zhu would run away.
Besides, even if she ran away, it would only be half a silver liang. Nothing at all.
With him taking the lead, Deputy General Li and Deputy General Bao both took out a piece of silver and handed it to Jiang Yun Zhu, saying similar things to her.
Jiang Yun Zhu accepted them one by one, remembering which piece of silver belonged to whom. She was going to get an account book when she got home, lest she make mistakes.
After they left, Mrs. Chen stared at the three pieces of silver in a daze. Did they get nearly two silver liang just like that? Who would believe it!
At three a.m. the next day. It was exactly three o'clock, Jiang Family got up and busied away.
They made their movement light for fear of disturbing the merchants that were staying overnight. But who were Shen Feng Ming and Yang Sheng? They woke up as soon as the family woke up.
Yang Sheng looked at the sky outside. So early?
Looking into the courtyard again, they saw four or five figures busy in the kitchen amidst the warm yellow lights. The scent of hulatang and youmotou wafted in the wind.
