Wonderful Life After Exchanging Fate

Jiang Yunzhu took over the shop, 30 taels of silver a year, signed a ten-year contract, and the rent will increase by 8% every year thereafter.

"We will leave here early in the morning the day after tomorrow," said the old man.

"Then I'll come and see you off by the way." Jiang Yunzhu said.

Putting away the deed, and coming out of the shop, Jiang Yunzhu decided to go to the north of the city and hand over Jiang Lin and Jiang Wu's Shu Xiu.

This matter went very smoothly, this enlightenment class started on the 20th of the first month.

Today is the 17th day of the first lunar month, the old man's family left on the 19th, and school starts on the 20th, just in time. Even the yard will definitely be messy, but as long as it can accommodate people, their family lived in a ruined temple on the way to escape from famine, and also lived in a hill. Compared with then, it is much better now.

After this matter is done, it is the decoration of the shop. It is better to wait for the old man and the others to leave, otherwise it will seem like she is chasing someone away.

However, there is one thing that can be done in advance. Jiang Yunzhu looked at the shop next to him and walked in.

This is a shop that specializes in plaques.

"Girl, do you want to make a plaque?" A young man warmly greeted her.

"Yes." Jiang Yunzhu agreed, and suddenly remembered that she hadn't measured the size of the shop yet, and it seemed that she couldn't make a plaque either.

"The girl wants to do business in the county? Almost all the plaques in the shops in the county are made by our family." The young man said.

Jiang Yunzhu's heart moved slightly, "There is a Hengyuan calligraphy and painting shop on the street of Wenyuan Academy. Did you make the plaque in it?"

"Girl, you are asking, the plaques of their family have always been made in my house."

"Then do you know the size of their shop?" Jiang Yunzhu asked again.

"I know." The boy was suspicious, why, this girl wants to give someone a plaque?

"I rented that shop and wanted to make a plaque." Jiang Yunzhu said.

The boy reacted quickly, and immediately congratulated, "The shop is big and spacious, and the girl's business will be prosperous in the future."

Jiang Yunzhu smiled, no wonder the business of this shop is good, just look at this guy.

"What's the name of the girl's shop? Is there an inscription? If so, it can be carved into a plaque in the shop. If not, the shop can help the girl ask for words. The price is five hundred cash, one tael of silver, three taels of silver, It varies from five taels of silver to ten taels of silver."

Further up, the man said nothing.

The price, of course, is what you get for every penny, five hundred Wen, and you can just find a scholar from the next street to write, and he can write well. For ten taels of silver, go to a famous gentleman in the county to ask for it. Naturally, the handwriting is better than that of a scholar, and it will be face-saving to hang it out.

Jiang Yunzhu made a mistake and opened a shop opposite the academy, and the main customers are the students and teachers in the academy. The handwriting of her shop must not be too bad, otherwise people will think that your shop is not good. Come in and eat.

In this era, these scholars are indeed a bit noble.

But to ask for good calligraphy, she has more than fifty-eight taels in total, thirty taels for renting a shop, and sixteen taels for repairing, and now there are only more than twelve taels left, and decoration is still needed. Where can I buy calligraphy? money.

To beg Gu Yanzhou? Last time I had already declined someone's marriage, it's not good to beg someone now.

At this moment, a icy voice said, "Let me write, what do you want to write?" It was Shen Fengming.

Jiang Yunzhu turned around, he wanted to write a plaque for her?

"Does Miss Jiang think my handwriting is not good?" Shen Fengming asked.

Jiang Yunzhu quickly shook her head, his handwriting is of course good, but she hangs the handwriting of the dignified Qilin Guard Commander on a restaurant as a plaque, if someone knows about it... she doesn't know yet, at this time Shen Fengming has been promoted to Zuo Dudu , or even more panic.

"It's too much trouble for you." She whispered.

"Miss Jiang took care of me, cooked for me, made medicine for me, and never said it was hard work." Shen Fengming said.

Think so too.

The clerk over there prepared the rice paper and pen and ink with great insight. Shen Fengming walked to the table, picked up the pen, dipped it in the ink, and looked at Jiang Yunzhu.

Well, Jiang Yunzhu thought for a while, and said, "Let's call it 'Xishanju', where you lie on the mountain and listen to the rain, and read thousands of books."

Shen Fengming wrote like a dragon, and quickly finished writing these three characters.

"Young master is really good at writing!" He just finished writing, and the guy couldn't help but praise. He often helps customers ask for words, and he has read some books himself, and gradually he really developed a pair of discerning eyes. Shen Fengming's three characters are vigorous, powerful, thick and powerful, and they are hundreds of times better than those written by the famous gentleman in the county.

Of course, this son is also outstanding. The man wondered when such a character appeared in Wuling County.

Shen Fengming looked at Jiang Yunzhu.

"Good words." Jiang Yunzhu also praised. She only hopes that in a small place like Wuling, no one knows his handwriting, otherwise...

Probably not, Shen Fengming's handwriting seems to be rare outside, she was in the Anping Marquis Mansion in her dream, if he hadn't come to the mansion, she would have never seen his handwriting.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yunzhu laughed again. With such a plaque, those scholars can't find anything wrong.

"It's delicious for lunch," she said.

"En." Shen Fengming's voice was clear.

After finishing all the things that should be done in the afternoon, Jiang Yunzhu went to the market. When she is free, she likes to go to the vegetable market the most, but it is a pity that Wuling County is still too small, and the vegetable market is...

Just as Jiang Yunzhu was thinking, she suddenly stared at something in front of a street vendor opposite, that thing, wouldn't it?

She went straight to the stall.

This is a stall selling fish, but it is different from other stalls. This stall sells frozen goods. On the left is a fish, which seems to be a fish, but the fish looks strange, long strips, with a silvery surface. Shining, looks similar to a white jade belt.

On the right is a strange thing with many feet. There are many small discs growing on the feet of that thing, which are bumpy.

"Come and buy, the delicious saury and octopus are all fresh from the south, and they are on sale at a low price!" The stall owner is a young man in his twenties, wearing brown clothes and pants, with a witty look on his brows. .

As he shouted, as if to prove that the two kinds of fish were really delicious, he also set up a charcoal stove, and each skewered a hairtail and an octopus to grill on it.

It's just that he didn't do it properly, and the fish smelled very strong when it was grilled.

Wuling County is located inland, and the transportation was not developed in this era, and the common people had never eaten seafood, so when they suddenly smelled the fishy smell of the sea, they covered their noses and hid away.

"I said Hu Er, what are you doing here, this strange smell, stop it, it stinks my food." A middle-aged man who set up a stall next to the young man said disgustedly.

"My name is seafood, something that grows in the sea, what do you know?" the young man named Hu Er snorted.

"Hai, have you ever seen the sea?" the middle-aged stall owner tutted.

"Of course, this is the smell of the sea, otherwise you can smell it." Hu Er said, holding a skewer of grilled octopus to the nose of the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man hid back and said, "Take it far away, take it far away." After Hu Er took the thing away, he stood back and sneered, "Just like this taste, you can say it was pulled out of the Dragon Palace. Yes, no one bought it either.

Hu Er, you have missed this time. "

This Hu Er specializes in selling things that no one has sold before. He was the first to sell, so naturally he would sell whatever he said. Often, things that might only cost three Wen in other places, when he got them in Wuling County, he would sell them for twenty or even thirty.

His doing this really made him a lot of money.

Of course, not all new things can make money. For example, this strange fish and this strange thing, he has placed them since the beginning of the year, and he only bought a few of them. Stuff can't be fried at all.

Hu Er resented, this time it was indeed his mistake, he looked at the two big lumps of ice on the stall and worried, what should we do?

"Boss, how do you sell the saury and octopus?" Jiang Yunzhu asked excitedly. It's really hairtail and octopus, let's not talk about octopus, hairtail, she didn't know it until she arrived in the capital in her dream. The Xia Dynasty's maritime affairs were developed, and fleets had already been to Java, Sumatra and other places. Naturally, someone caught this kind of deep-sea fish.

It's just that not many people know this kind of fish at this time, and even fewer people eat it.

At that time, Jiang Yunzhu met this kind of fish in the capital, and was happy for a while, but she didn't expect to see this kind of fish so soon this time.

Hairtail, you don’t need too many seasonings, you only need to fry it with oil and sprinkle with a little green salt, it’s a rare delicacy.

Hairtail fish has less fat. Like this vendor, if it is grilled directly without oil, of course only fishy smell remains.

"Miss, do you want to buy these two kinds of fish?" Hu Er immediately regained his energy when he saw someone asking.

"How much?" Jiang Yunzhu naturally wouldn't let him see what she was thinking, lest he raise the price.

Sure enough, when Hu Er saw this, he thought she was just asking out of curiosity, so he lowered the price first, "Saury is eighteen yuan a catty, and octopus is twenty-five yuan a catty."

This price is twice as expensive as the local fish, and it is not delicious, no wonder no one buys it.

Jiang Yunzhu smiled, "If I want to buy more, can it be cheaper?"

"How much does the girl want?"

"Talk about the reserve price first. If I think it's cheap, I'll buy more."

Hu Eryi gritted his teeth, "If the girl buys all these, the saury is fifteen Wen a catty, and the octopus is twenty-two Wen a catty."

"Do you have any at home?" Jiang Yunzhu asked.

"Yes, there is still half a car at home."

"About how many catties, not counting ice."

"Saury weighs more than two hundred catties, and octopus weighs more than one hundred catties."

"Well, I want them all, saury for twelve cents a catty, octopus for eighteen cents a catty." Jiang Yunzhu said.

Hu Er was dumbfounded, "You want it all?"

"If you think the price is right, I'll..."

"Appropriate, appropriate." Hu Er said pleasantly. Although he didn't earn much at this price, he still made some money. Mainly, he thought that these fish were about to fall into his hands. Now that Jiang Yunzhu has bought all of them, he feels that he has made money for nothing.

Jiang Yunzhu didn't need to do anything, he knocked the hairtail and octopus out of the ice, said it well, and put it in the car for Jiang Yunzhu.

"Where do you live, I'll send the fish to your home when I get the fish ready," Hu Er said.

Jiang Yunzhu said the address of his home, and said, "Is the fish in your home the same as these? It hasn't spoiled."

"Don't worry, it's better and fresher than these. I went to Jeju, and it was very cold there at this time of year. Although the water wasn't frozen, there was ice. The fish I picked on the pier were the best. Go back that night, the further north you go, the more frozen the fish will be, and it will never go bad." Hu Er said, patting his chest, he has experience in doing this.

Jiang Yunzhu was relieved, waiting for him to bring the fish over.

Not long after she went home, Hu Er came to deliver the fish in his car, but this time there was a problem, the fish were still frozen in the ice, would he knock them all out for her?

There is no place to put it all out, Jiang Yunzhu shook his head, just put it like this.

How do you weigh it?

"You should have weighed it when you bought it, right? To tell you the truth, I'm going to open a restaurant in the county, and I'll often ask for these fish and meat things in the future." Jiang Yunzhu said.

Hu Er understood, and he said that Jiang Yunzhu lived in the village, how could he buy so many fish at one time.

This is a big customer. After finishing it, his things will not worry about selling. He did weigh the fish when he bought them, and he knew the catties left after excluding the ones that were sold.

"The saury should still have two hundred and fifteen catties, let's count it as two hundred and ten catties, and the octopus should weigh one hundred and sixty catties, so let's count it as one hundred and fifty catties. According to your price, the total is more than five taels of silver, and you will give five taels." That's enough." Hu Er said.

"Okay." Jiang Yunzhu also felt the same, and then said, "If you have something new in the future, you can send it to Qishanju in the county. If I think it's good, I will buy it."

"Definitely, definitely." Hu Erlian said, selling these fish made him feel relieved, and he is going to sell new things in the south tomorrow.

Hu Er left happily, Jiang's house was full of frozen fish.

"Yunzhu, what should we do?" Mrs. Chen asked.

Naturally, Jiang Yunzhu had plans, she said with a smile, "It's cold now, just put these fish in the backyard and cover it with straw curtains. When the restaurant opens, there will be uses for these fish."

The new store opened, and it happens to do two new dishes.

She still thinks there are not enough fish! In fact, she almost asked Hu Er to sell some fish from the south just now, but considering that the first month was over and the weather was getting warmer, she decided to forget it.

Jiang Yunzhu misses the ice cellar of Anping Marquis Mansion a little bit, thinking that when she earns money this year, she will dig an ice cellar herself, so that she can not only store things, but also have iced drinks next summer.

This is her plan, now, of course, it is to cook hairtail and octopus to eat.

There are more than a dozen ways to eat octopus, but perhaps influenced by her modern grandmother, Jiang Yunzhu's favorite is octopus wrapped in pancakes.

Clean up the octopus, marinate it with cooking wine and other seasonings, and then fry it in a frying pan.

At this time, there will be a fishy smell. In modern times, it is enough to turn on the range hood, but in this ancient time, there is a way. Light a candle next to it, and it's basically tasteless.

Put the fried fish in a crock pot and simmer for another hour until the meat is crispy and the bones are rotten, and then it can be taken out of the pan.

Here to make pancakes, don't put anything, just put oil and salt. The finished pancakes are steaming hot, with six or seven layers of flesh, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Use this kind of pancake to roll hairtail, and bite it down, it is naturally very delicious.

Octopus is even better. Jiang Yunzhu made spicy octopus today.

In addition to these, she made some dishes that are suitable for rolls, so Jiang’s lunch is pancake rolls, rolls of meat, rolls of bean sprouts, rolls of green vegetables, rolls of fungus, rolls of octopus, rolls, as you like.

It was also the first time for Jiang Cheng and others to eat octopus. They only felt that the meat of this fish was very tender and had a special umami taste.

"Is this the smell of the sea?" Jiang Lin asked curiously while eating hairtail.

Jiang Yunzhu smiled, "Maybe. If we have a chance in the future, let's go to the beach and see."

"This octopus is so delicious. The texture is very elastic." Chen said.

"I also think it's delicious. If it's sold in the store, it will definitely sell well." Jiang Cheng said with a smile, he couldn't wait for the restaurant to open soon.

Hairtail and octopus have won unanimous praise from the Jiang family.

As for Shen Fengming, Jiang Yunzhu only remembered when he came back, the seafood was made of hair, and Shen Fengming was still sick, how could he eat these, so she made him some other light food.

Shen Fengming, who received special care, felt that today's sunshine was particularly good.

On the morning of the nineteenth day of the first lunar month, Jiang Yunzhu took some pastries and fruits to the owner's family.

Five carriages, some things still can't be taken away, so they can only reluctantly give up.

The old man's family stood in front of the shop and looked at it for a long time before getting into the carriage and leaving Wuling County.

They left in a hurry, didn't have time to clean up a lot of things, and left a lot of things behind. Jiang Yunzhu checked back and forth, and had a preliminary grasp of the situation in the store.

"Father, move the things at home here, Jiang Lin and Jiang Wu will start school tomorrow, and they will live in the county." She said to Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng also looked at the store before and after, and was very excited. Fleeing from the famine in Changfeng Mansion, it took only half a year. At that time, they had no tiles to cover themselves. Who would have thought that they would open a restaurant now!

"Okay, I'll go right away." Jiang Cheng went back and took Chen Shi and others over.

From today, they will live in the county seat.

"You can't leave it there either. I still have chickens. When it's spring, I can plant melons and fruits in the yard, which can save a lot of money." Mrs. Chen said while packing her things.

"Well, our business over there will continue." Jiang Yunzhu said, of course he has to go back often.

Speaking of this, Xue Jing whispered, "Boss, when will I be transferred to the county town." He didn't think the village was bad, but he wanted to follow Jiang Yunzhu, and by her side, he could always learn something.

Jiang Yunzhu smiled. She remembered that she had drawn a big cake for him and said that she would go to the county to do business, but she didn't expect it to be realized so soon.

"I'm the only one in the restaurant, so I can't be too busy, but the business in the village can't be left behind either. In this way, when the business stabilizes, I'll hire another person..."

As soon as she said this, Xue Jing said, "Boss, if you want to recruit someone, I have a good candidate. My former partner in Yunhe Tower, he is also very good at cooking. Of course, you can't compare with the boss. gone."

Jiang Yunzhu believed in Xue Jing, the person he recommended should not be wrong. However, "We'll wait until we talk about it, let's open the restaurant first."

"Yes, boss." Xue Jing said with a smile, as long as there is hope.

Everyone hurriedly cleaned up the backyard, while Jiang Yunzhu came to the shop in front, thinking about how to decorate the shop.

Now she still has more than seven taels of silver in her hand, but she needs to save some money.

In this case, if you can do it yourself, do it yourself.

She intends to decorate the shop in a quiet and elegant way, so as to meet the needs of the target group.

She was standing there planning, when a young man came in with a few paintings in his arms, and when he saw her, he was stunned.
