WLAEF 27




Chapter 27


Jiang Yun Zhu thought back carefully. Indeed, he asked. How did she answer then? Forget it, she liked it anyway.

Why was he asking this question again now? Could it be that Qilin Guards also worked part-time to investigate the happiness of the people?

She considered it for a while, "I like it. Although it is a bit bitter now, it will be fine in the future."

Shen Feng Ming closely stared at her, as if looking into her heart.

Jiang Yun Zhu quickly put on a very sincere look. She really felt that it was better than being in the Marquis Anping Manor in her dream. At least she was a free person now. Freedom was a thing. Only when one loses it will one know its value.

"Miss Jiang, do you want to go to the capital with us?" Yang Sheng had been listening with his ears stretched out. He hurriedly asked.

Before Jiang Yun Zhu could answer, he added, "You haven't been to the capital, right? The capital is very lively and prosperous. Maple leaves in Baima Temple, the bright moon in Changsong Bridge, the willows in Bianhe River, and the lotus in Zhangyuntai are all unique." .

There are also beef from Yuanxingju, buns from Liji, and pork elbow from Hongyanlou. I promise you, you’ll be craving for more after eating it. "

Yuanxingju's beef was indeed delicious. In the dream, Jiang Yun Zhu and Lin Ting An had been to the capital a few times and had eaten his beef. Thinking of it at this moment, her mouth was full of drool.

If there is a chance, she will go to the capital. But go with Yang Sheng and Shen Feng Ming? Forget it about.

She shook her head.

Yang Sheng was dumbfounded. In his opinion, wouldn't following them to the capital be a thousand times better than staying in this poor mountain village?

Early the next morning, Jiang Yun Zhu went to set up a stall to sell breakfast like before.

Today she made a lot of stewed meat and pancakes.

The customers who didn't get the meat pancakes yesterday deliberately came early today. After buying the meat pancakes, they ate it with hulatang. It was really a great joy in life!

However, Jiang Yun Zhu looked straight up the mountain. Ordinary customers couldn't eat up these meat pancakes today. It can’t be that Deputy General Zhao and the others won’t come to eat today?

Just as she was thinking, a person came over. It was the long-faced soldier from yesterday.

"You seem to be early again today." Jiang Yun Zhu greeted him with a smile.

"I'm afraid that Boss's meat pancakes will sell out too fast. If I can't buy meat pancakes, I will be scolded when I go back." The long-faced soldier sighed.

He was scolded yesterday. Eight people and nineteen meat pancakes. None of them could get enough.

"Today, there are enough meat pancakes." Jiang Yun Zhu told.

The long-faced soldier grinned, "Forty of them. Then ten bowls of hulatang."

There were two more customers than yesterday. Jiang Yun Zhu was overjoyed. Together with Mrs. Chen, she cooked it for him.

After everything was packed, the long-faced soldier took out a piece of paper and a few pieces of silver, "These are the meals ordered for noon. The amount of silver is written together with the dish. By the way, Boss, do you sell it in the evening?"

Deputy General Zhao and the others ate such a delicious dish at noon. At night, they had clear soup from the cafeteria, which was really hard to swallow. He actually wanted the long-faced soldier to ask Jiang Yun Zhu about it yesterday, but he forgot about it.

"Meal sales are only a trial operation right now. We won't sell it in the evening. After a few days, we'll prepare everything before we sell them. Otherwise, it won't be good if something goes wrong." Jiang Yun Zhu replied.

She spoke politely and logically. Naturally the long-faced soldier wouldn't make things difficult for her.

"Then once you sell in the evening, you must tell him." He only said.

"Definitely." Jiang Yun Zhu agreed.

The long-faced soldier remembered another thing, "About the two meat and one veg meal thing Boss said to our Deputy General last time?"

This was what he wanted to eat. His monthly silver couldn’t compare to Deputy General Zhao’s. But he had to watch Deputy-General Zhao eat every day. Just the smell only had him feeling unbearable. So he asked about it.

From what Jiang Yun Zhu said last time, this set meal didn't seem to be expensive.

"This will have to wait for a few days." Jiang Yun Zhu apologized.

"Okay." Wait then.

Seeing his disappointment, Jiang Yun Zhu changed her mind, "I'll give you a portion of what Customer wants for lunch."

"I can’t really?" The long-faced soldier uttered with surprise on his face.

"It's been a lot of hard work for you to run around. This is a little bit of my thoughts." Jiang Yun Zhu said. The long-faced soldier took care of her business every day. Although he didn't buy it, he was in charge of it. If he wanted to make things difficult for her, she wouldn't be able to do business either.

Give him some sweetness and it was win-win for everyone.

The long-faced soldier pushed twice more before happily agreeing.

After making an appointment to deliver the lunch at noon, he took his things and turned to leave. Suddenly, he remembered something, turned around and said to Jiang Yun Zhu in a low voice, "Miss, you don’t have it easy. Let me tell you something, go back early after you finish selling today!"

"What?" Jiang Yun Zhu was taken aback.

"I've heard that it seems that people are getting sent down the mountain today to arrest those who were suspicious." The long-faced soldier explained.

Wang Bin was really terrified of Shen Feng Ming. He searched the entire mine yesterday, but found no suspicious person. Still, he was worried and decided to search everywhere at the foot of the mountain today.

Jiang Yun Zhu's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't show it on her face. She just said, "Thank you. I will definitely go back early today."

The long-faced soldier smiled and left.

Jiang Yun Zhu watched his back, hesitating whether to tell Shen Feng Ming and Yang Sheng about it. Changshi Village was very close to the mine. Maybe the defenders would also search there.

Regarding what happened ten days later, she felt since she couldn't fight against them, she would try to keep things as they were. On the first day of winter, she’ll trick the people in the village to go to the county town to hide from the calamity.

Since this was the case, she got to think about it. If she didn’t come to Changshi Village, what would happen to Yang Sheng and Shen Feng Ming? They might spend the night in the village, but probably not for long. Or maybe they would live in the village. After all the surrounding was wilderness.

Jiang Yun Zhu couldn't figure it out. In the end, she came up with one point, why should she make the decision? She just needed to tell Yang Sheng and Shen Feng Ming the news. People's choices were sometimes life, let them choose. There was a high probability that the result would be the same as in the dream.

With a decision in her heart, she was anxious to go back. When selling hulatang, she always filled it to the top for customers. It almost spilled out. In addition, the long-faced soldier bought a lot. The things sold quickly today.

Half an hour before seven p.m., all the food was sold out.

As expected, Xu Qing Shan didn't come over today. Jiang Yun Zhu, Mrs. Chen and others packed up their things and went home.

When she got home, she first took a look at the side room. Yang Sheng and Shen Feng Ming were there. It was unknown what they were discussing.

This morning, as soon as Yang Sheng woke up, he heard two long and two short crisp bird chirps. He got up immediately and followed the sound to the mountain hollow behind the village. There were dozens of well-dressed guards there. When he entered, they all got off their horses, knelt down and said, "Subordinate greets Deputy Commander."

Qilin Guard's guards had come. There were some things that should be done.

Jiang Yun Zhu naturally didn't know this. She knocked on the door of the side room lightly with her fingers.

Yang Sheng and Shen Feng Ming had noticed her when she entered the yard and had stopped talking long ago.

Yang Sheng opened the door.

"Miss Jiang, good morning." He smiled.

"Morning. It’s like this. I have another order today. I would like to trouble you to help me see what is written on it." Jiang Yun Zhu handed Yang Sheng the note that the long-faced soldier gave her in the morning.

Such a trivial matter. Yang Sheng took the note, "Deputy General Zhou, three silver coins, boiled meat; Deputy Captain Pang, four silver coins, a chicken; Captain Fei..." There were eight items written on the note. .

After Yang Sheng finished reading, "Do you remember? If not, I'll read it to you again."

Jiang Yun Zhu didn't need to remember at all. She can read. Still, she went along.

Yang Sheng read it to her again and she expressed that she remembered it, "Thank you!"

"You’re welcome." Yang Sheng said.

Jiang Yun Zhu smiled. Then as if remembering, she told him, "If you two merchants go out these two days, you must be careful. I heard today that some villains seem to have been found in the Wuling Mine. Today they are going to search the mountain.

It seems that even the market at the foot of the mountain and the villageS have to be searched. That’s why when I heard this news, I hurried back to avoid trouble. "

After hearing this, Yang Sheng still had a smile on his face. However, his eyes were a little different.

"Understood, thank you, Miss Jiang, for reminding me." He replied.

"No need. I'll make breakfast." Jiang Yun Zhu turned around with a smile and went into the kitchen.
