WLAEF 32




Chapter 32


At 7am, Jiang Yun Zhu collected the table and returned. Mrs. Chen had already prepared breakfast. Sure enough, today's breakfast was richer than usual. There was even a bowl of scrambled eggs.

Chopped green onion and salt were added to the burnt yellow egg. Then fried in hot oil. Without any addition of other seasonings, it was delicious enough.

After breakfast, Jiang Yun Zhu was arranging the orders and arranging the order of cooking in her mind. Like marinating the meat came first. Then make the stuffed meat for the giant meatball, make the chicken cubes, stew the fish, and ...

After going through the order, she had already arranged everything in her mind.

"It's five hundred and thirty-two wens in total." At this side, Mrs. Chen counted the money two times before getting the money correctly. Five hundred and thirty-two wens. They earned about two hundred wens or so. And this was only noon. If the evening was added, they can earn more than four hundred wens a day?

Jiang Cheng worked hard for a month and only earned 600 Wen.

Mrs. Chen felt that her mind was a little clouded for a moment. Was this true?

If this was the case, it didn't seem difficult for them to buy a donkey cart.

Difficult? It was a matter they never dared to think even in their dreams before.

Seeing her holding the money jar and starting to count again, Jiang Yun Zhu shook her head with a smile. In the dream, she was in charge of so many shops and businesses at Marquis Anping's Manor and she didn't act like her.

Of course, she didn't want to be so tired anymore.

Her current goal was to open a restaurant, hire two chefs, cook whenever she wants to, and live a leisurely life. Not seeking great wealth, but seeking to be at ease.

Or to make it more interesting, cook the most delicious dishes and drink the most beautiful wine...

"Yun Zhu, how about you can count again to see if I made a mistake." Interrupting her imagination, Mrs. Chen handed Jiang Yun Zhu the jar containing the money and asked her to count.

Jiang Yun Zhu placed the jar on her lap, stretched her hands into it, and stirred the copper wens around. She didn't count though. She just wanted to hear the sound of the copper wens colliding. En, if it were the sound of silver colliding, it would be clearer and more pleasant to hear.

When Mrs. Chen heard the sound, she also grinned.

"When we save enough money, shall we buy a donkey cart first?" Mrs. Chen asked Jiang Yun Zhu.

"En."

"Then what if there’s extra money?"

...

At noon, Jiang Yun Zhu cooked the meal. With Jiang Lin and Mrs. Chen, she went to deliver the meal. The main task for her was to note whoever ordered the meal for the evening.

At this time, she was very envious of the modern food ordering software. One side orders were made on the mobile phone, and the merchant received the order on the other side. Unlike her, she had to go there.

"Elder Sister, I'll learn these words right away. Once I learn them, I'll take the orders. This way, you don't have to run around." Jiang Lin seriously stated.

Jiang Yun Zhu flicked his forehead with her fingers. Learn it? It was still early. It sounded more like Jiang Yun Xue. She noticed Jiang Yun Xue was very talented in literacy and writing. What’s more, she loved doing it. She studied from morning to night. Naturally, she would learn it quickly.

There was nothing wrong with the food delivery at noon. Everyone who ordered food got their own food.

There were a total of six cafeterias in the mine, which were distributed throughout the mine.

The free food in the cafeteria truly slacked on time and ingredients wherever they could. Some of the large potatoes were thrown into the pot without peeling the skin. Those pots of cabbage didn't even have any oil content an all.

That dish was made, to the standard that can only be said to be cooked and edible. There was no color or flavor left.

Don't like the food? Perfect, be frugal.

Today, the cafeteria was a little different. A burst of aroma hit straight into people's noses.

Everyone looked around and saw oily, trembling pieces of meat. Equal amount of fat and thin meat. Next to them were fresh and tender green vegetables. There was half a marinated egg on the side of the vegetables. White rice was underneath.

Just one bowl, there was meat and vegetables. Mainly, why did the meat smell so good?

"Brother, did you get it from the cafeteria?" Someone couldn't help asking the person who was eating.

"Cafeteria?" That person snorted. How could the cafeteria make such delicious meals, "Ordered from the mountain bottom."

"Food can be ordered from the mountain bottom? How much is it?"

"The braised pork rice I ordered costs thirteen wens a bowl."

It wasn't expensive. The person who asked the question swallowed. How about ordering one?

This scene happened in almost every cafeteria. Another group of people discovered that there was a stall at the foot of the mountain where they could order food. The food was delicious and the price was reasonable.

At this time, Nie Xin and his companion also got the meals they ordered in the morning. When the big bowl was opened, a gust of hot air rushed up. After the hot air dissipated, he saw a large bowl of fish head tofu soup. The soup was milky white and fragrant.

The other two bowls contain spicy diced chicken and a plate of stir-fried lotus root. The lotus root was like white jade. The diced chicken was full of crispy flavor.

The duo picked up the chopsticks at the same time. One clipped up a piece of fish, while the other clipped up a piece of tofu. Then they looked at each other.

Fresh! This fish was made without any fishy smell. It was extremely delicious and silky. The tofu was smooth and silky. To the end, it was flavorful. The aroma of the fish head and the tofu blended perfectly together. After one bite, the aftertaste was endless.

The two of them had broad food experience and guessed that this dish must be delicious. Still, they were still overwhelmed by this bowl of fish head tofu soup.

No wonder the Commander and Deputy Commander ate the dishes made by her every day. It turned out to be so delicious. The thought came to both of them at the same time.

After lunch, Jiang Yun Zhu was about to take a nap when there was a knock on the door outside.

"Who is it?" Mrs. Chen was choosing the vegetables for the evening in the yard. Hearing the sound, she got up and went to open the door while asking.

"It's us. Here to order meals." Outside, a male voice sounded.

Mrs. Chen was slightly taken aback. Come to their house to order food? Or there was a problem with the meal they ordered at noon, so they sought them?

Jiang Yun Zhu also heard this from within the house. So she got up and went to the courtyard to see what happened.

Opening the door, she took one look. It was an acquaintance, the one with thick eyebrows and big eyes. The one she thought was from the Qilin Guards. The one next to him should be his companion.

Seeing Jiang Yun Zhu, Nie Xin apologized, "Did I disturb you? In fact, I have something to trouble you. I don't know if it’s convenient for you."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Yun Zhu asked.

Nie Xin replied, "I ate the food you made at noon and thought it was very delicious. I'm going to another place soon. I want to ask if you sell the kind of food that can be taken on the road or last for a long time. I want to eat it on the road or bring some to my friends so they can taste your culinary skills too."

This was the solution that Nie Xin and his companion discussed after eating the fish head tofu soup. They felt that when they returned to the capital, their brothers might not know what they had missed just by talking about it.

Bring them something to eat and they'll know after tasting it.

Of course, the main thing was that they can also eat it on the road.

"I can give you money." Nie Xin took out a piece of silver as he spoke.

Jiang Yun Zhu was flashed by the light of the silver. Can be eaten on the road and last for a long time? He also wanted to bring it to his friends? She thought of a few things, but she didn't know if there were any ingredients in the town.

"Miss, if you need help, just tell me. It’s best to be quick. We are in a hurry." Nie Xin added.

Jiang Yun Zhu smiled. It just so happened that she was tight on time. She had to finish it for them earlier so that she could make takeaway for the evening.

Two hours later, Nie Xin duo left contentedly with the big and small jars.

Jiang Yun Zhu weighed the silver in her hand and was quite elated. This was really a windfall.

Lu Prefecture to the capital was a seven hundred kilometers road. Shen Feng Ming and Yang Sheng's horses were excellent. They left the people behind and returned to the capital in four days.

Grubby from the journey, the two went straight to the palace.

Shen Feng Ming reported the findings to Emperor Qing Long, who was furious. The court shook.

But this had nothing to do with Shen Feng Ming. He was only responsible for investigating cases, handling errands, and then truthfully reporting the facts he found to Emperor Qing Long.

As for how to deal with it, that was Emperor Qing Long's business.

Perhaps because of this, Emperor Qing Long trusted him so much.

After leaving the palace, Shen Feng Ming returned to the Shen Manor.

The Shen Family. A big family that started at the end of the Han Dynasty. They had survived three dynasties and were the leader among the scholar-bureaucrats. Academician Shen had a good knowledge of ancient and current times. He had countless students and disciples, who were the leaders in today's literary world.

Shen Family was a pure scholarly household. Academician Shen was gentle and elegant when he was young. That’s why when Princess Danyang married him back then, it was considered a good match.

After they got married, they had only one son, Shen Feng Ming.

It had been more than a month since he went out. Now that he was back, the Shen Manor suddenly became lively.

Middle Hall.

"Father, Mother." Shen Feng Ming greeted Academician Shen and Princess Danyang.

Princess Danyang quickly stood up and supported him, "We’re one family. You don't need to be so polite. After being away for so long, you suffered, right? Look at you..." She wanted to say that he had lost weight. Generally, when Shen Feng Ming went out to run errands and slept outside, he would be thinner. This had become Princess Danyang's catchphrase.

It was just that when she saw Shen Feng Ming today, she felt that he was more energetic than when he left. And his face was very ruddy. She couldn't say that he was thinner.

Academician Shen looked at his only son, who had a face like a crown of jade with extraordinary talent and appearance. His heart was filled with relief. It was just, "I heard that you killed many people in Changfeng Manor?"

As soon as he said this, Princess Danyang’s expression turned cold.

Shen Feng Ming had gotten used to it and replied, "Didn't Father always teach me that if the criminal law is clear, treacherous people will be stopped."

Academician Shen frowned. He did teach him this, but he was afraid that his killing trait would become worse and lose his heart in the end.

He wanted to say more, but Princess Danyang said to Shen Feng Ming, "Look at your dusty body. I've had someone prepare hot water for you. Go wash up."

"Thank you, Mother." Shen Feng Ming responded and left the room.

"I haven't finished speaking yet." Academician Shen voiced out.

"You can only blame the child. It’s because you taught him this. If it weren't for you, would he..." Princess Danyang uttered.

The two quarreled again.

The servants in the Manor weren’t surprised by this. Hearing the quarrel behind him, Shen Feng Ming raised his head and looked into the distance, frowning slightly.
