Chapter 130 Another year
"Me?" Shen Fangze pointed at his nose and laughed, "I like beautiful women, and they have to come from good families. They have to be as slim as the women in the brothels, but their family background can't be bad. Alas, you are just a child, why should I tell you this."
Jiang Yue held her forehead with her hand. She remembered that the last person who spoke to her like this was Mu Heng.
Sure enough, men are all the same.
"Then why don't you get married?"
Shen Fangze: "It is better to have nothing than to have something of poor quality."
Jiang Yue: "Okay, you have your reasons. But you know that there are beautiful women in books. Can't you try harder for the sake of Miss Gaomen?"
"Don't persuade me to study." Shen Fangze felt a headache when he mentioned studying.
"Just study hard. I am still waiting to become your brother who passed the imperial examination."
"Me? I'm afraid I will disappoint my brother." Jiang Yue sighed softly. Originally, in order to protect the safety of her family and inspired by Master Wei, she was determined to take the imperial examination.
But now, for the safety of her family, she has given up the scientific research.
"If you want to marry a lady from a rich family, you don't have to be an educated person." Jiang Yue really wanted to help his master and solve his urgent problem.
"Don't talk about talent, I don't have it." Although Shen Fangze has high expectations but poor skills, he still knows his own limitations.
"Make money. When you make a lot of money, are you still worried that a rich lady won't marry you? At the very least, we can marry a daughter of a wealthy man to be my sister-in-law."
"Xiao Liu, I didn't realize that you are really good at deceiving people. To make money, you only need your master. You don't need me."
Jiang Yue: "I didn't say that out of turn. You can't just rely on your parents for the rest of your life."
"Eating the old?"
"Uh... just tell me if you want to make money?"
"I want to!" Shen Fangze just finished speaking and shook his head. "In medicine, although I am proficient in seeking medical advice, my goal is to be the boss. If I stay in the pharmacy all day, I will go crazy."
Jiang Yue held her forehead with her hand again, "Summer is coming soon, and ice making will definitely sell for a good price, but saltpeter is needed."
"Hmm? Saltpeter? Making ice?"
"We'll split the money we earn 50-50, excluding the raw materials. Brother Fangze, think about it carefully."
Without waiting for Shen Fangze to continue asking questions, Jiang Yue went back to her room to sleep.
The next morning, before school started, she dragged her friend to her master's pharmacy.
She also planned to stock some saltpeter to sell in her own shop.
In the pharmacy, Master Shen Qing had hired a new doctor named Shi at some point, and he arrived earlier than her this morning.
Shen Fangze thought about what Jiang Yue said, and asked as soon as he got there,
"Doctor Shi, how much saltpeter do we have left in our pharmacy?"
"There are some, but not much. Sir, why are you asking about saltpeter? You don't look like you've been poisoned by the heat."
Shen Fangze: "I want to make ice."
Even he himself didn't know how to make ice, but he spoke with confidence. Of course, this confidence came from Jiang Yue.
"How to make ice?" Doctor Shi was skeptical. "How to make ice?"
As far as he knew, wealthy families would store ice in cellars in the winter and take it out in the summer to cool down.
"I can't tell you this." Shen Fangze smiled mysteriously. Doctor Shi naturally didn't believe it.
However, he still took out some saltpeter from the pharmacy.
After school in the afternoon, Jiang Yue started working in the backyard of the pharmacy.
The process is simple, just add saltpeter to water, stir and cool.
When she placed the ice in front of Shen Fangze, the latter was surprised.
"How?"
"Keep it secret." Jiang Yue smiled mysteriously, just like Shen Fangze. She had told her master about this method to ensure that he would have a good summer.
However, the master also said that if we only rely on saltpeter to reduce the heat, it is far from enough, so I never took it seriously.
The more Jiang Yue didn't say, the more Shen Fangze wanted to know.
Finally, under Jiang Yue's emotional and logical persuasion, Shen Fangze agreed to go out to find saltpeter and make a large amount of ice for the sake of the noble lady.
Then, he used his connections to spread the word...
As for Jiang’s new shop, its opening date is getting closer and closer.
Goods were gradually added, and eggs, mountain products, poultry and livestock were also included in the store.
There are also some seasonal vegetables and fruits, which are also placed in the shop one by one.
The fact that there was ice in the cellar was also widely spread. Although Jiang Yue had two masters backing her up, she was just starting out and could not expand her business too much.
A few days before the business opened, the Jiang family was finally able to have a good rest.
After taking a break, Jiang Yue and her grandmother went to the dental clinic again to buy some strong laborers.
Most of the people in the dental industry are children, boys and girls aged twelve or thirteen.
Older ones are rare, but they do exist.
Liu Chunfeng looked at the women and asked them,
"Who among you can cook?"
Hearing Liu Chunfeng's question, a woman knelt down and said:
"I used to work in the kitchen."
"Okay, it's you." Liu Chunfeng helped her up, and seeing that she looked kind, she immediately decided on someone.
Looking again, Jiang Yue was looking at the younger boys and girls.
"Is there anyone who can read?"
When asked, they all shook their heads.
Well, Jiang Yue asked knowingly and selected two girls with delicate looks to run Jiang’s Noodle Shop.
He also selected two young men who were still quite energetic to help with the new shop's business.
The five men spent fifty taels of silver and brought the five people out of the pawnshop that same day.
After leaving the dental clinic, Jiang Yue asked them if they had a name.
After questioning, only the woman had her own name, Wen Niang.
She was sold out only because her original master's family fell into poverty.
The others did not have their own names. Jiang Yue looked at them and said loudly:
"Since you have become members of my Jiang family, from now on, you should follow our surname Jiang."
Liu Chunfeng couldn't even name her own granddaughter, so the task of naming was finally given to Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue named the two girls Zhishu and Zhimo.
The two young men were named Qingfeng and Xulai.
Afterwards, Jiang Yue personally taught them simple arithmetic.
During these days, Jiang Dani and Lin Guo discussed the wine, pastry and other businesses outside, and also entered the Jiang family's new shop one by one.
New shop opening,
Jiang Dani's wish came true and she became the shopkeeper's wife.
Cheng Yuchu and Jiang Erni were not present because they went to Huaian County to discuss the fabric business.
In addition to the two of them, Jiang Yue, who was studying at the academy, was also not present.
Grandma and the rest of the sisters gathered here.
The newly bought Qingfeng Xu Lai is very hardworking and is busy entertaining guests at the door.
The business was booming on the opening day, but unfortunately Jiang Yue was studying and didn't want to take a leave and miss the teacher's lectures. She could only listen to her grandmother and sisters talk to her during her break.
In the days that followed, Lin Guo was responsible for the grocery store's merchandise supply and field business.
Gradually, Zhishu and Zhimo quickly got the hang of Jiang's noodles at the end of the street.
After teaching the two of them, Jiang Sanni and Yun Niang started a new noodle shop business.
She emphasized that lunch should be eaten with great efforts to make the delicious dishes better.
What she didn't expect was that Yunniang was also a good cook.
...Life went on as usual, and after a period of adjustment, the business gradually got back on track.
Time flies, and another two years have passed.
Jiang Yue is also growing up day by day and is now twelve years old.
Today, the Jiang family's courtyard has expanded again. As early as a year ago, the second and third sisters got married.
The three brothers-in-law became role models in the village.
Compared to before, the smile on grandma's face became more and more intense.
