Reincarnate as a poor widow and bravely fight against the worst scumbag father and evil mother-in-la
Chapter 46: Danger on the Night Road
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei smiled and explained:
"I can't sell these two recipes to you. I can only sell them to Zuixianlou across the street. I still want to have long-term cooperation with Shopkeeper Xu in the future. Next time I come, I will bring a new recipe."
When Shopkeeper Xu heard Jiang Yuwei say that there would be a new recipe next time, a smile appeared on his face again. Although Lianxiang Tower was revitalized now, only one dish, crucian carp with double peppers, was popular. Most people came to the restaurant for this dish.
There are not as many customers now as in the first few days. When Manager Xu saw Jiang Yuwei this time, he was thinking about buying a few more prescriptions from her. He didn't know how to start the conversation. Now that Jiang Yuwei actually took the initiative to bring up this matter, he felt relieved.
"Mrs. Jiang, you must give me a good recipe next time so that our Lianxiang Restaurant can become popular again. Then our restaurant will be famous in Ping'an Town."
Jiang Yuwei smiled and nodded:
"The prescriptions I gave to Shopkeeper Xu are naturally good. As for Shopkeeper Lin across the street, I don't like him, so his business will naturally not be good."
After listening to Jiang Yuwei's words, Shopkeeper Xu seemed to understand why Shopkeeper Lin stared at Jiang Yuwei with such a greedy look today. Now he was just extremely grateful that he was very respectful to her when Jiang Yuwei came. If she had sold the recipe to another restaurant, the Lianxiang Tower would have ceased to exist today.
Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Xu hurriedly handed the five taels of silver in his hand to Jiang Yuwei:
"Mrs. Jiang, this is the money for the chili sauce. Please keep it. I will wait for you to come next time and bring me a new recipe."
Jiang Yuwei took the silver, looked at it, smiled and put it into her purse, and said to Shopkeeper Xu:
"Don't worry, wait for my good news."
After saying that, Jiang Yuwei left Lianxiang Tower and went to the vegetable market at the end of the street to buy some things. She put all the things into the space, and then went to Huichuntang on North Street to buy a seven-day medicinal bath bag for Ning Huaizhi. It happened that there was a Jingli Academy opened by an old scholar on North Street. Ning Qiu said that her younger brother Ning Chen was studying in this academy.
Jiang Yuwei found the academy and explained her purpose to the gatekeeper. The servant then took Jiang Yuwei into the academy to look for Li Xiucai.
"Madam, please sit here for a while. Our teacher is teaching the students and will come out to meet you in a while."
Jiang Yuwei smiled and nodded at the servant, then sat down.
Walking along the way, Jiang Yuwei saw that although the academy was not big, its architectural style was very unique. There were not many students in the academy. Most of the people in Ping'an Town were ordinary people, and few families could afford to send their children to school. Even if there were, they would only let the children study for a few years and learn to read. It was rare for families to support their children to study until the imperial examinations.
Jiang Yuwei was staring at the scenery in the yard in a daze when she heard someone calling her from behind:
"Madam, what brings you here today?"
Jiang Yuwei quickly stood up and looked back, only to see an old man with white hair and long beard standing behind her. She quickly stood up and saluted respectfully, saying:
"Are you Master Li? I came here today to see if my child can come to the academy to study."
Master Li stroked his beard with a smile:
"Haha, studying is a good thing, but the cost of studying is a bit high, and it's not something that ordinary people can afford."
As he said that, he walked to the table and motioned Jiang Yuwei to sit down, then picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Jiang Yuwei.
Jiang Yuwei knew that the teacher had no intention of looking down on her, but just liked to speak the ugly words in advance like herself, so she took the teacup and said with a smile:
"Master, you are right. If you want to send your child to school, you must prepare enough money. I just don't know how much the tuition will cost?"
Master Li nodded appreciatively and said:
"Ten taels of silver per year. Students eat and live in the academy. They have three days off per month, one month of farm leave and one month of clothing leave. Except for farm leave and clothing leave, the rest of the tuition must be paid in full."
Jiang Yuwei felt a little distressed when she heard that ten taels of silver a year, but when she thought that studying was the best way out for her child, she gritted her teeth and said:
"Okay, Master, I'll pay the fees for one year first, and I'll send the child to the academy tomorrow."
Master Li smiled and told the servant to take Jiang Yuwei downstairs to pay the money.
The servant led Jiang Yuwei to the accounting office, and after registering, he said to Jiang Yuwei:
"You need to bring your own bedding and quilts for school, as well as a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstone. You also need to buy this list of books. There are several bookstores outside the academy where you can buy them."
Jiang Yuwei took the list of books and said with a smile:
"Okay, thank you."
Jiang Yuwei thought that after she separated from her husband's family, she only had two sets of bedding. If she brought another set for Ning Zhao, there would definitely not be enough for the family. It would be better to wait until tomorrow when she came to send him off and then buy a new set to take to the academy. Anyway, her own house has been built and there are more rooms, so she needs to buy a few sets of bedding. Tomorrow she can ask Uncle Ning Wu to take his ox cart to the town to buy them.
When Jiang Yuwei came out of the academy, she saw that the sun was about to set, so she just wanted to not delay returning home, otherwise the three people at home would be waiting anxiously. Jiang Yuwei suddenly thought of Ning Huaizhi's worried expression, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Jiang Yuwei thought about the books, writing brushes, inkstones, and inkstones that Ning Zhao needed, so she waited until tomorrow when she came to send Ning Zhao off, and then bought all of them and sent them to the academy. So Jiang Yuwei put away the list of books that the servant had given her, quickened her pace, and walked towards Ningjia Village with her head down.
As Jiang Yuwei walked along, she saw the sun gradually setting. The village road was empty at this time. Although it was not yet completely dark, Jiang Yuwei felt inexplicably flustered and kept muttering to herself that she should not come back to the village so late next time.
Before it got completely dark, he found a sturdy stick on the roadside to use as a walking stick, and also for self-defense when necessary.
Jiang Yuwei quickened her pace while thinking about all sorts of things. She just hoped that the sun would go down the mountain more slowly so that she could reach the village before dark.
Jiang Yuwei jogged all the way and finally arrived at the entrance of the village at the moment the sun was setting. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was already pitch black all around. Jiang Yuwei just thought that she wouldn't have to be afraid once she reached the village, so she walked slowly.
Just as she walked to the grove at the west end of the village, a black figure suddenly jumped out of the woods and covered Jiang Yuwei's mouth and nose. Jiang Yuwei wanted to struggle, but the man was too strong and she had no power to fight back.
Jiang Yuwei was shocked. It was a man. Would her innocence in this life be ruined tonight? Jiang Yuwei had a lot of thoughts in her mind at this moment.
In order to save candles, the villagers went to bed when it got dark. Now in this deserted grove, the only sound that could be heard was the cuckoo's call. Jiang Yuwei's heart sank.
