The boss is dressed as cannon fodder

When the old imperial doctor came for a follow-up visit again, Jiang He and his two daughters were blocking the rabbit hole, bossing them around.

"Look, old doctor, I caught a very fat rabbit. Let's eat the rabbit." The girl was carrying the fat rabbit happily, like a victorious general.

The old imperial doctor had a kind face. Most girls from poor families had a hard time these days, but Jiang Dao doted on his daughters. The two daughters became more and more lively and beautiful.

The soup that had been simmered for several hours was very fresh, and the rabbit in the griddle was delicious and flavorful. After one bite, I couldn't stop thinking about it. The old imperial doctor was a little surprised. Is Jiang He's cooking skills pretty good?

He was not sure because when cooking, Jiang He gave instructions in the kitchen, and Shun Niang cooked according to his instructions. The taste was outstanding, different from the meals carefully crafted by the royal chefs in the palace, and had a rough feel. Seeing the stupid apprentice Da Niu eating with his mouth full of oil and not stopping to use his chopsticks, you knew it was to his taste.

"Jiang Dao, do you want to be a cook after your leg heals?" The old imperial doctor really thought about Jiang He. Although being a cook requires standing for a long time, it is not tiring. His legs can fully support him.

Jiang He did not consider becoming a cook. He was originally a violent maniac who was useless, foolish, and filial, but he was proud of being able to take care of so much farm work alone...

In short, the original man's dream was to become a capable farmer. Although Jiang He looked down on his character, he still respected his dream and immediately rejected the old imperial doctor's proposal.

"I've never been a cook before, and besides, I still have more feelings for the land."

The stupid apprentice finally finished eating, and said with a swipe of his lips: "You can't go to the fields with these legs. You will know the pain when rheumatism comes to you in the future." Rheumatism is more difficult to cure than a broken leg.

"I know, farming doesn't mean you have to grow rice. Planting vegetables and flowers on this mountain is also farming."

It turns out that planting flowers and vegetables is not too tiring. The old imperial doctor thought about it and said, "You might as well plant medicinal materials."

"Medicine?"

The old imperial doctor enthusiastically suggested to Jiang He what herbs to plant, and Jiang He quickly wrote them down.

Shun Niang was very grateful and put the tea in front of the old doctor.

The old imperial doctor was really good to their family, and growing medicinal herbs was an excellent way out, but they really couldn't grow them without anyone's guidance.

***

Shun Niang came back from the city that day and took out ten taels of silver with excitement on her face. Jiang He's jaw dropped.

"I learned this from my husband. Didn't my previous wheelchair make money? So I sent these flowers to the embroidery shop for sale." Shun Niang suppressed her excitement. It’s pretty and cheap. The shopkeeper asked me to make more of it because it’s sold out.”

Jiang He looked up and down at this vibrant woman and sighed secretly. Shun Niang had a bad fate. She was born as a child bride and fell into a wolf-like husband's family. If she was born in modern times, she would definitely be a strong business woman!

"Our shunniang is really capable. When you marry, you should marry a good wife. I, Jianghe, are so lucky. I have accumulated so much luck in my previous life that I was able to marry you."

"Everywhere, it's all the husband's idea." Shun Niang's ears turned red after being praised, and she quickly changed the subject and said to the two girls, "Big girl and second girl, this is your wages."

"Wow!" The two girls looked at the copper coins in their hands with surprise and joy, "Two cents, we are so rich." It was the first time in my life that I had money. In the past, red envelopes were given out during the Chinese New Year, but they only gave out red envelopes. To the older child and the second child.

"Okay, the shopkeeper asked us to continue making more nods. Let's come together after dinner."

Sure enough, women make the best money. No matter which dynasty there are people who love beauty, these cheap and beautiful hair flowers are quickly sold to other places. The rich are still in the minority, and the poor village girls are very happy that they also have the right to be beautiful.

Jiang He was very happy that he could contribute to the woman's beautiful career. He specially lit a lamp at night and worked under the light.

"It's not enough." Shun Niang frowned as she looked at the bed full of finished hair flowers, "Many salesmen came to the shopkeeper to ask for hair flowers, but the shopkeeper refused because there were not enough to sell in the store..."

"So we have to expand production!" Jiang He pinched his tired fingers and looked at the two Niuniu who were almost asleep from exhaustion, "Small profits but quick turnover, understand?"

***

Jiang He and his family were busy making money and had no time to go down the mountain. They were virtually isolated from the villagers, and they were only aware of any rumors in the village.

When Peach Blossom Lady came to visit, Jiang He found out that there were rumors again, and he felt depressed at the moment.

Taohua Niang reminded Jiang He that Shun Niang often went to the city recently, and people in the village began to gossip. In addition, she often bought bones, which also aroused criticism from the villagers. Everyone said that she treated him badly.

Jiang He called out to the two girls, all armed with the most beautiful clothes, let’s show off!

It is not busy farming time now. The villagers are going home for lunch after finishing their work all morning. After lunch, we go to the big tree at the end of the village to chat and relieve our fatigue. Then we go home and take a nap before going out to work. The days are leisurely and repeated.

"Isn't this Jiang Dao? Long time no see. Why haven't you seen Shun Niang?"

"I saw Shun Niang going to the city this morning. She seems to go to the city a lot recently."

Jiang He looked calm, "Oh, she took some work from the embroidery workshop in the city and is busy."

Everyone looked at Jiang He, whom they hadn't seen for more than a month, and felt that he had changed a lot. I have become whiter and fatter, and my energy is very good. Before, I could not straighten my waist when standing, and it looked like a stoop. Now that I am disabled and sitting in a wheelchair, my waist is as straight as bamboo. Was it so good-looking before?

The two little girls have changed the most. They are no longer sallow and thin, but fair and tender. They wear pink clothes, have bright headdresses on their heads, and novel and beautiful hairstyles... These are really the money-losers scolded by Mr. Chen before. Big girl and second girl?

"This is obviously a little fairy from the sky." A boy couldn't bear to blink after seeing it. He turned to the pregnant woman and said, "Mom, give me a sister as beautiful as a fairy in the future."

The woman touched her face unconfidently and said, "Go to sleep. You can sleep with everything."

Only then did everyone remember that Shun Niang was a flower in the village back then.

Jiang He smiled and chatted with everyone.

"Is it abuse to eat bones every day? You are really uneducated. The old imperial doctor said that nutrition should keep up with the body. The bones are more nutritious than meat. The soup cooked for several hours is fragrant and rich. The old imperial doctor said My legs are getting better quickly thanks to Shun Niang making soup for me every day.”

As soon as the old imperial doctor's name came out, the villagers no longer doubted him.

"The old imperial doctor said that the elderly and toddlers should also drink more bone soup?"

"Of course, you see, the old imperial doctor is sixty years old. He climbs mountains and collects medicines quickly. He often drinks soup made from bones."

The villagers chatted, saying that Shun Niang was very good to Jiang Dao. But Jiang Dao was also kind to Shun Niang. In the past, Shun Niang would not bear to ride in a bullock cart when she went to the city, but this time it cost four cents to go there.

Shun Niang has also changed a lot. She has put on some weight and her face looks better. She seems to have the charm of a flower in the village before. The sharp-eyed woman even observed that although the headdress on her head is not gold or silver, it is different every day.

"Shouldn't I be nice to my mother-in-law? My shunniang has never given up on me from the beginning to the end. Besides, I might be a loser. I will rely on my shunniang in this life. How can I succeed if I don't be nice to her?" Jiang He boasted. He said, "My Shun Niang is very powerful. Have you seen the polka dots on my daughter's head? This was Shun Niang's idea. She took it to a show shop in the city and sold it, and she got a lot of money."

When it comes to dressing up, the women perk up and ask, "Jiang Dao, is the Xiufang that Shun Niang went to Ruyi Fang?"

"What happened to Ruyifang?" Men cannot understand women's pursuit of beauty.

The pregnant woman glared at her husband, "Ruyifang has recently produced a lot of flowers. They are fresh and beautiful, with a wide variety of designs. The most important thing is that they are very cheap." The cheapest flower costs only two cents, which is not as good as wood. The cheapest hairpin costs five cents, and Ruyifang is now crowded with girls who love beauty. A girl from a poor family cannot afford gold, silver and jewelry. How can she afford a headband made of this fabric?

Jiang He said with a smile the second purpose of his visit, "Sisters-in-law, are you willing to make some money? My Shun Niang said that she asked the owner of Ruyifang to bring some fabrics back to the village to make headdresses. You can do it with your hands and feet. Flexible, can do dozens a day, every five costs one penny.”

When money was mentioned, the villagers' eyes lit up, and a few anxious women stared at the flowers on the heads of the two girls.

The eldest girl and the second girl took off their hair for them to observe, and smiled sweetly at everyone who was looking at her. Her plump little face was rosy, not to mention how cute she was.

"Oh, it looks novel, but it's actually quite simple to make. I can make hundreds of them a day!" said a woman who was very confident in her needlework.

"I'm eighty, no problem."

The men counted, so the mother-in-law can earn about 20 cents a day?

"Jiang Dao, when does this start?" The women were very anxious. The busy farming season was over and they had some free time, but they felt empty without any income.

"Wait until my Shun Niang comes back." Jiang He ugly said, "Not everyone can do this job, it's not neat enough, and the hands are too rough and will damage the fabric. By the way, Peach Blossom is here, Peach Blossom Mom, I’ll leave this to you, help me choose some people who are good at needlework.”

Peach Blossom Girl excitedly patted her chest to assure her that she knew Jiang He was thanking her. If she chooses people through her, everyone in the village will have to fawn over her!
