Chapter 30 Entering the city
Liang Jiamin was noncommittal, but Jiang Tangtang continued to persuade: "Besides, I bought the donkey cart not only for myself, but it is also good for adults. You see
now, we have to set up camp every day. Then prepare to eat, but if you buy a donkey cart, when you are on the road, not only make some snacks on the way, but also many preparations for cooking can be done in advance on the donkey cart. When you get to the camp, you can also prepare meals in advance. Adults can also Wouldn't you be hungry for a while?"
Liang Jiamin was finally persuaded by her, but she made a condition: "Draw a few more jewelry drawings for me, and when the business starts, you will get 10% of the profit!"
Jiang Tangtang said with a smile: " Sir, I gave you both the recipe and the idea, as well as the capital, so I only get 10% of the profit. This is such a loss for me, I should get 20% of the profit no matter what!"
This time, Liang Jiamin readily agreed.
However, although Liang Jiamin agreed, he also learned that he would be accompanying the official.
This is a matter of course involving official duties, but as the saying goes, money can make all the difference, and in the face of huge benefits, who can resist it!
So, when they arrived outside Luanxi County, Liang Jiamin ordered everyone to camp in the open space outside the city, while Jiang Tangtang was allowed to go into the city with several officials to purchase.
The people in the Lu family's main house were very happy that Jiang Tangtang could follow the officials into the city.
Mrs. Lu took out a golden hairpin hidden under her body and asked her to exchange it for money to buy a few pairs of soap boots for traveling. If there was any left, she would buy some japonica rice to nourish the children.
Su Shi was extremely worried, "My daughter-in-law, Yan'er, why don't you let Yan'er go to the city with you? He can help you get whatever you want to buy!"
Jiang Tangtang spent so much energy to persuade officials to go to the city, not just for the sake of Buy a donkey cart.
She also wanted to use this trip to the city to take out some things in the space and use them openly. If Lu Shiyan follows, it will be harder for her to cheat.
So I refused without thinking, "Mom, I'm afraid this is not good. As for me following the officials into the city to purchase, I have been grinding for a long time before they agreed..." "
Okay, hurry up and go!" Don't keep the officials waiting!" Madam Lu said with a cold face, dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law's timid appearance.
"Then I'll go now!" Jiang Tangtang put the golden hairpin given by Mrs. Lu into his arms, then turned to join the official.
Of course, putting the golden hairpin in her arms was just a cover-up, and she actually put the hairpin into space to preserve it.
"Wait!" Lu Zhixi chased after her coyly, pulled out a pearl from her clothes and handed it to her: "This is the pearl I managed to hide. Don't be deceived!" "You want me?
" What can I buy for you?" Jiang Tangtang was a little surprised that Lu Zhixi actually trusted her and gave her the hidden pearl.
"You're a glutton. You've known how to eat before. How many valuable things can you have left on you? Don't go through all the trouble to persuade an official to go to the city and end up with no money."
Lu Zhixi said fiercely: "You can't do anything. Don't exchange it for food. Go to the drug store to buy the golden sore medicine for big brother and other medicines. In short, you can take care of what you need on the road. If it's useless then I'll settle the account with you."
"Okay. Got it, got it!" Jiang Tangtang didn't care about a middle school girl, put away the pearls, and went into the city with the official.
After entering the city, Jiang Tangtang said to Liang Jiamin: "Sir, to avoid wasting time, let's go separate ways! I'll go to the pawn shop first, and I'll buy something later and meet at the city gate." "
Don't you need us to help lead the way?" Liang Jiamin said this A total of three officers were brought into the city together.
Although the official rations were distributed at the post station and they often hunted prey, their days were also hard. They went to the city mainly to buy some food and some daily necessities.
"Then please take me to the pawn shop. Once the things are pawned, I will buy a donkey cart and buy some new spices. There are a lot of things to buy, and I may be too busy.
If it's convenient, could you please help me buy some meat, such as pig offal, beef and sheep offal, or pig tail? I'll braise it for you to taste. "
It was both a feast for the eyes and helpful for business. Naturally, Liang Jiamin had no objection and agreed immediately. He also said that they would pay for the food and she didn't have to worry about it.
Jiang Tangtang was not polite to him and followed an official. She went to the nearest pawn shop. After arriving at the pawn shop, the official did not follow her in. Instead, he pointed out the place where she bought the donkey cart, and then went to buy what she needed.
Jiang Tangtang first pawned the gold hairpin given by Mrs. Lu. , but because the price of the Nanzhu given by Lu Zhixi was too low, she did not sell it, but exchanged it for a gold bracelet in her own space.
Jiang Tangtang pawned the two items for a total of two hundred taels of silver.
After getting the money, , but Jiang Tangtang had no time to wander on the street and feel the quaint streets. She immediately followed the direction pointed by the official to buy a donkey cart. After
buying the donkey cart, Jiang Tangtang remembered that she didn't know how to drive a donkey. Just thinking about it She couldn't ask Lu Shiyan to follow her. It would be inconvenient for her to cheat, but she forgot to consider this practical issue.
But at this time, she could only find a way.
Jiang Tangtang secretly took a piece of braised wolf meat from the space and took it out to find the donkey cart seller. The old man asked him to teach her how to drive.
Jiang Tangtang bid readily, and with the fragrant piece of wolf meat, the old man selling the car was naturally unwilling to do anything, and taught her very carefully. After
struggling for more than a quarter of an hour, Jiang Tangtang finally managed to get it right. The donkey cart drove away.
It cost a total of 150 taels of silver to buy the donkey cart, soap boots for the Lu family, a change of clothes, rainproof raincoats, bamboo hats, quilts, etc. I also went to the
pharmacy to buy medicine for injuries. Wait, more than 30 taels of silver were spent.
Looking at the little money left in her hand, Jiang Tangtang was thankful that she had space. She didn't have to spend money on many things such as rice and grain.
Jiang Tangtang drove the donkey cart to a hidden place. In the alley, I took out the cloth bag I just bought at the grocery store, put the rice, flour, sesame and other things from the farmhouse into the cloth bags and put them in the carriage. I also
took two charcoal stoves for barbecue at the farmhouse. Come out and put it in the carriage.
Because at that time, in order to pursue the simplicity of farmers, this charcoal stove was a mud stove customized by a merchant online.
Not only did it come in large and small sizes, but there were also several styles.
In addition to adding charcoal for barbecue There are small charcoal stoves and large clay stoves that can burn coal and firewood.
Although they are all styles that have never been seen in this era, the materials are not suspicious.
In addition to charcoal stoves, there are also casseroles, large iron pots, and charcoal stoves. Waiting for something.
Jiang Tangtang took out a lot of things in one breath, loaded half of the carriage, and then hurriedly got out of the carriage, took the donkey cart to the city gate to meet the officials.
Liang Jiamin and the others did not buy as many things as she did, and they were already waiting At the city gate. Seeing Jiang Tangtang driving the donkey cart, several officials urged: "Hurry up, the city gate will be closed soon. "
