Chapter 21
"What are you doing?" Yang Sheng asked everyone in the room as if he had discovered something extraordinary.
Seeing him like that, Shen Feng Ming didn't want to talk to him. If he did, he would stir something.
Mrs. Chen smilingly replied, "Yun Zhu wants to keep accounts for the business, but we can't read. This gentleman wrote it for her."
Then she asked Yang Sheng, "Have you collected the grain yet?"
"I collected some, but I can't take them away by myself. I won't collect them for now. Let's talk about it when my buddies come." Yang Sheng replied.
Mrs. Chen nodded. It turned out that their buddy hadn't come yet. Like she said, how could the two of them only sell grain?
Alarms were ringing in Jiang Yun Zhu’s heart. The buddies Yang Sheng mentioned was Qilin Guard, right? The storm was coming...
Yang Sheng didn't want to talk about this at all. He only cared about Shen Feng Ming writing the account for Jiang Yun Zhu now. Shen Feng Ming, writing the account? He walked over a few steps, leaned next to Shen Feng Ming, and looked at the table.
"Tan-faced Customer, fatty intestine, 18 wens..." He can’t hold it. He suddenly had the urge to laugh. What to do?
The dignified Qilin Guard Commander. His brush broke the universe. His brush determined life and death. How many people want to plead with him to write something for thousands of gold, but he ignores them? Now, he wrote this kind of thing in this dilapidated house?
If the high-ranking officials and ladies in the capital knew about this...
Yang Sheng suddenly wanted to ask this account from Jiang Yun Zhu to bring back.
Suddenly, he shivered. When he raised his head, he met Shen Feng Ming's gaze.
Yang Sheng smiled and gave up the idea just now. He still had a sense of propriety in doing things. However, a new thought came to his mind. He spoke to Jiang Yun Zhu, "Bookkeeping is a long-term matter. We may not stay here for long.
How about teaching a man to fish rather than giving him a fish? How about letting him teach you how to read?
You can write by yourself. It will be much more convenient in the future. "
Jiang Yun Zhu and Shen Feng Ming both stared at him.
Jiang Yun Zhu couldn't believe it. What was he saying? Asking Shen Feng Ming to teach her how to read? What was he thinking! She suspected that his brain had been kicked by a donkey.
"I'm afraid it will delay your work." She politely refused.
"Won't delay." Yang Sheng wasn't interested in investigating mines at all. The affairs of the court were just a mess. It was still the same after being stirred up. It was more interesting to watch Shen Feng Ming teach others how to read.
"Besides, we stay at your house for food and lodging. We should repay you. Teaching you how to read is perfect." He said with reason and evidence.
"I still don't dare to bother you. In fact, there are people in the village who can read and write. They are scholars. I heard that they are top-notch." Jiang Yun Zhu said.
"You're talking about Yan Zhou, right?" Mrs. Chen's eyes lit up. Gu Yan Zhou was handsome and a scholar.
Yang Sheng was about to say something more. "It's okay." Shen Feng Ming said.
He looked at Jiang Yun Zhu, "If you want to learn, I can teach you for half an hour every day."
Jiang Yun Zhu... She wanted to learn, but she didn't want to learn from him. But he had already said that. She looked at Jiang Lin and the others next to her and asked him, "Can they study together?"
She really didn't want to be alone with him.
Of course, if he didn't agree, it was fine.
"They can." Shen Feng Ming replied. He saw that they were struggling and suddenly wanted to teach. There was no difference between one person learning and four people learning. He won't stay here for too long. It was up to them how much they could learn.
"Thank you!" Jiang Yun Zhu said.
Shen Feng Ming didn't say anything. While Yang Sheng anxiously spoke, "If you really want to thank us, just cook us something delicious."
Recalling the pancakes in the morning, he internally burst into tears. Heaven knew how he swallowed those pancakes down.
Yang Sheng was someone who knew how to enjoy himself. If not, he wouldn't go out and ask the shop owner to soak his tongue for him.
"By the way, money for cooking for us." He took out a small ingot and handed it to Jiang Yun Zhu.
Five liang silver. How could Jiang Yun Zhu be willing to accept it, "No need."
It cost some money to cook for them. In this day and age, finding a teacher to learn words and pay for the teacher’s emolument was very expensive. The four of them benefited from learning from Shen Feng Ming, even if Shen Feng Ming was an average teacher.
Still, Yang Sheng stuffed the money into her hand, "It’s set like this. What shall we have for lunch?"
He couldn't wait.
Jiang Yun Zhu looked at the sky. It was time to prepare lunch.
She went into the kitchen and fried the carp until its outer skin was golden in order to remove the fishy smell and enhance its freshness. Stir-frying sautéed sliced pork with pepper and chili needed high fire. Only when it was fried with a high heat can it show skill. Already quick fried cooked fatty intestines were rolling in the pot. Every inch was covered with crystal clear soup juice. Deep-fried pork belly must be deep-fried until the skin was blistered before it can be put in the steamer.
Jiang Yun Zhu was in the center, Mrs. Chen, Jiang Lin, and Jiang Yun Xue were busy around her. The small kitchen was full of smoke and fire.
Yang Sheng was studying the topographic map of Wuling Mountain with Shen Feng Ming in the room. The smell from outside entered into his nostrils one after another. Suddenly, he threw the map and his responsibilities aside and quit. With this delicious current, who wants to watch boring stuff? He walked to the door and looked towards the kitchen while waiting for his lunch.
Shen Feng Ming knew his character. So he didn't force him and started to study it by himself. It was just that the scent from the tip of his nose disturbed his thoughts a bit.
"Is the rice ready?" Jiang Yun Zhu asked.
"It's all scooped. Three bowls." Mrs. Chen responded.
"Where's the food box?" Jiang Yun Zhu asked again.
"This side!" Jiang Yun Xue hastily replied.
"Then serve it out of the pot." After Jiang Yun Zhu finished speaking, she poured the fish into the plate, quickly covered it with another plate, wrapped it in a layer of cotton cloth, and then put it in the food box. She instructed Jiang Lin, "Be careful on the road. Do you know where to send it and who to send it to?"
"Don't worry, Elder Sister." Jiang Lin said loudly. He knew.
"En." Jiang Yun Zhu patted his head. Thank you for your hard work.
Jiang Lin didn't find it hard at all. He jogged out of the yard with his food box on the one kilometer mountain road.
Spicy meat, fragrant fish, and burnt fat intestines. Yang Sheng had waited until the flowers were wilted. When he saw those dishes put into food boxes and carried away, he was dumbfounded. These dishes weren’t for him?
"Two Guests, let's eat!" A soft voice sounded. Yang Sheng came back to his senses and saw Jiang Yun Zhu walking over with a tray.
With that said, she had already entered the room and placed the contents of the tray on the table.
Two bowls of white rice and three dishes in the middle.
The first dish was two steamed emerald green cabbage leaves in the middle with agate-like meat on top. "Nice and green; Like red against a few cherry leaves."
The red and green complement each other. It made the meat piece bright red and attractive.
This was the cherry meat. The meat was made to be as crisp and sweet as a cherry.
The second dish wasn't so particular. It was fried pork, but the fiery red color and strong spicy taste were really attractive. This was sautéed sliced pork with pepper and chili.
The third dish was both a dish and a soup. Today Jiang Yun Zhu saw that the winter melons in the market were cheap and bought some. Now she just happened to make some winter melon meatball soup.
"I don't know if it suits the customers’ tastebuds. Was in a bit of a rush today. If Customers want to eat something next time, you can tell me in advance." Jiang Yun Zhu said. When she went to the market today, she just bought something for Deputy General Zhao and the others to cook for lunch. She didn't expect to cook for Yang Sheng and Shen Feng Ming at all.
She planned to use the pork to make meat pancakes tomorrow morning. Now out of emergency, they were used.
"Suit, definitely suitable." Yang Sheng said repeatedly. Then he asked, "Who are those food box for just now?"
Jiang Yun Zhu answered that it was for customers and explained she wanted to do this business in the future.
Yang Cheng thought of the account book that Shen Feng Ming had written about fat intestines and dry cooked fish earlier and he immediately understood.
Jiang Yun Zhu withdrew.
Yang Sheng sat at the table, "I keep having the feeling that I’m losing out."
He also wanted to eat boiled meat and dried cooked fish, but now it was in someone else's mouth.
"Aren't these dishes enough for you?" Shen Feng Ming said.
"Enough! But it feels like a loss." He really wanted to give Jiang Yun Zhu a piece of silver just now and ask her to keep all the dishes. But he knew that this wasn't good. It was ordered in advance and Jiang Yun Zhu was doing business. It went without saying it must be given to others.
Shen Feng Ming ignored him and ate a piece of cherry meat.
"Willow-like brows and lotus-like cheeks, cherry mouth and hibiscus forehead." Yang Cheng looked at the cherry flesh and smiled again. Don't know if he was talking about cherry meat or the person.
Shen Feng Ming bit the cherry meat. Hearing what he said, Shen Feng Ming suddenly remembered that person. Those lips!
"What are you doing?" Yang Sheng asked everyone in the room as if he had discovered something extraordinary.
Seeing him like that, Shen Feng Ming didn't want to talk to him. If he did, he would stir something.
Mrs. Chen smilingly replied, "Yun Zhu wants to keep accounts for the business, but we can't read. This gentleman wrote it for her."

It's good that they paid, otherwise I would have no respect for them. And MC's family really has the confidence to house unknown people for an extended period. Why not take them to the chief?
