Chapter 208： Go to Fucheng

After Mrs. Zhou learned that the Zhao family's matter was settled, she was extremely grateful to Jiang Ning and brought Xu Nuoshan over to express her gratitude on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Jiang Ning asked smoothly, "How old is Nuoshan now?"

"You will be eighteen after the New Year!" Madam Zhou frowned slightly, "To be honest, I am also anxious about his marriage, but last year's college examination was postponed for a year, and there are only two years left before the provincial examination. Now, I want him to get married but I am afraid that he will be distracted and will not let him get married until the provincial examination is over! I really envy your eldest son, who is younger than Nuoshan and has such a cute son! "

When mentioning the child, Mrs. Zhou subconsciously looked at Xu Nuoyan's belly, then shifted her gaze without leaving any trace.

Jiang Ning smiled slightly, "My family's situation is different. If his father hadn't acted recklessly, I'm afraid Datou wouldn't be able to marry his mother-in-law! If your Nuoshan family can pass the provincial examination, they will be promoted! According to the rules of Qi State, everyone can become a county magistrate. Well, why worry about not being able to find a daughter-in-law at that time?

Taking a step back, it doesn’t matter even if Nuoshan fails to pass the provincial examination in two years. There are many talented scholars in their twenties and girls are rushing to marry them. Moreover, you have settled in Fucheng for two years, and you have some financial resources, so you can find a family background. Relatively good, isn't it? "

"Thank you for your kind words." Mrs. Zhou was so excited by Jiang Ning's vision that her pale face turned rosy. Finally, she asked worriedly: "It's just that I haven't decided what to do in Fucheng to make a living! I wanted to return to my old business and get off the fishing boat, but Nuo Shan and Yan Yan were opposed.”

Xu Nuoshan cupped his hands towards Jiang Ning and explained: "Aunt, you don't know something. My mother-in-law has made a living by fishing these years, and her legs have long been out of use. She feels a dull pain whenever it encounters rainy days. We took her to see a doctor, who said that 9 out of 10 Dan people have this problem. This is caused by staying in a humid environment for a long time.

When my younger sister found out, she cried a lot and refused to let her get off the boat. I studied hard to let them live a good life. Now that I have been admitted as a scholar, it would be unfilial to let her get off the boat again. "

“It’s not as serious as you said!” Mrs. Zhou scolded, her eyes filled with relief.

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "I think Nuo Shan is right. I had to mention it before, but now I really can't get off the boat. My second brother told me about this, and I would like to ask you, besides fishing, what else do you do? Like a celebrity chef or something like that.”

Mrs. Zhou shook her head repeatedly, "Forget it about female celebrities! I can only sew clothes at most, and my cooking skills are average. I can only cook daily meals, but I can't be too particular about it."

"That's enough!" Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face deepened, "Yanyan told me that she wants to continue working in Zhenbao Pavilion after she gets married. I have no objection. If she goes to the city, you can follow her. Selling some food together in the city is at least more stable than your fishing. I just plan to buy a shop there for you to use temporarily. "

"This can't happen! Although our two families are related by marriage, the brothers still have to settle accounts tomorrow night! If we really want to have proper food, at worst I will set up a stall. This way I will be more relaxed. Give me a shop, and I will really I can’t survive!” Mrs. Zhou said anxiously.

Her answer was as expected by Jiang Ning, and Jiang Ning did not force it, "Okay! Whatever makes you feel comfortable. When my eldest daughter-in-law set up a stall in Songxi Town, she made Thousand Layer Salty Cake and Thousand Layer Sweet Cake. The rice cakes sold well. Later, they added fried oysters, and the business became even better.

So I suggest you sell some fried food in Fucheng. The cost of this thing is small. Even if you can't sell it out, you can still sell it at Youran Inn. Anyway, you won't invest too much money. If you add drinks, you can make money in a day when the situation is good. A few hundred coins, or even more. After all, it is a prefectural city.

But where to set up this stall must be carefully considered. If it is not possible to open a small restaurant, it will be more tiring, but there is no need to worry about wind and rain, and the rent will not be much. "

Ms. Zhou knew what Jiang Ning was capable of. She was immediately moved when she said this, but she was still a little worried, "Can I really do it?"

Jiang Ning was happy, “You’ll know if you try it!”

Xu Nuoyan was advising from the side: "Auntie, listen to my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law said yes, absolutely yes!"

“Okay! I’ll give it a try!” Mrs. Zhou subconsciously clenched her fists.

Now that they had made a decision, they did not intend to delay any longer and decided to leave on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. Yang Erdan and Xu Nuoyan also planned to leave together. Jiang Ning had to go to Fucheng and happened to be with them. Since you are going there, you must bring something with you, and you have to go to Zhong’s house.

Time is a little tight, but fortunately there are people at home to help.

On the day of departure, Wu Changfeng and several brothers came to Rongshu Village early. Since the last time he brought someone to the Yang family to help, the chief **** found out that he was immediately promoted to the rank of escort.

Wu Changfeng came to thank Jiang Ning on the first day of the new year. Knowing that Jiang Ning was going to Fucheng, he immediately took over the **** job.

Protected by the escort, the journey was uneventful. When Jiang Ning arrived in Fucheng, he immediately asked Butler Zhu to send greetings to the Zhong family and the prefect Ji Wuya, and then visited Dongli Villa under the leadership of Yang Erdan.

"Look, Auntie, I had someone build this workshop specially. With the addition of a brick kiln, I will be able to bake bricks myself in the future. There are only four servants in the workshop now. They are responsible for the work when I am not around. I plan to Then I bought four more people, so I could get away and do more things. You see, this is the fired brick that I studied."

Yang Erdan happily took Jiang Ning to the warehouse to look at the bricks.

Jiang Ning tried it and found that the brick was really hard, especially when the green brick was knocked into two pieces, the brick was not damaged at all.

She did not believe in evil and came a few more times, destroying more than a dozen blue bricks. Later, she tried the water absorption of two types of bricks, and finally had to admit that this kind of brick was indeed better than the green bricks.

With Jiang Ning’s approval, Yang Erdan became more motivated. He had already thought about how to arrange this year.

Mother and son went to Youran Inn after leaving the workshop.

The business of Youran Inn during the Chinese New Year was actually better than usual.

Jiang Ning is a little strange.

Yang Erdan laughed naively, "I asked Butler Zhu to prepare a barbecue and sell it in the inn. This food is delicious!"

He is not a foody person, but he only likes barbecue. When he was working for Pan Xiuniang in Songxi Town, he would go to Liuye's restaurant every day to have a meal. As soon as the Youran Inn was completed, he asked Butler Zhu to arrange it. Yes, there is no Jiang Ning’s special barbecue sauce here, so the taste is not that good, but Butler Zhu also hired a chef, so it won’t be too bad, so business is naturally good.

Jiang Ning was happy and went to the kitchen to have a look. He said to Yang Erdan, "I will prepare the barbecue sauce for you later and let the master change it."

“Would the eldest brother and sister-in-law be unhappy?” Yang Erdan was a little worried.

Jiang Ning rolled his eyes, "What are you worrying about! They are in Songxi Town, far away from Fucheng! How can you still compete with them for business!"
