At the beginning, I saved a little mute

Chapter 21 Jiang Zao's Plan

"Where did you say you were going?" After a long time without any response, Jiang Zao became anxious.

Plus, she is blind now.

I'm really nervous.

Que Yunsheng was the first person she came into contact with when she came into this world.

Just like a fledgling, even though she wouldn't admit it, she was already very dependent on Que Yunsheng in her heart.

"Go to the Hexi camp in the northern border to serve as a soldier." Que Yunsheng didn't want to lie.

His palms were just sweaty.

"The North...is it far away?" Jiang Zao hesitated.

She could understand from the literal meaning that the northern border was roughly the border of this dynasty.

"It's very far. It would take half a month to get there even if we rode at full speed from here." Que Yunsheng thought for a moment and added, "It's the northernmost part of the Great Xie Dynasty. There are always lone men invading the northern border town all year round, and people's lives are difficult.

Years of war have left the area sparsely populated and the land is barren, so not much food can be grown there.

The wind and sand are strong, it is not suitable for a girl like you to live here."

Que Yunsheng said a lot, almost telling everyone he had heard about the situation in the northern border.

He was very conflicted. He hoped that Jiang Zao would know the hardships of the north and give up, but he also hoped that Jiang Zao would not make up his mind because of material conditions.

He didn't even dare to listen to what Jiang Zao was going to say next.

Teng stood up and said, "You've been lying down for two days. You must be hungry, right? I'll ask Chunyu to make you some porridge."

That back view looked like someone was fleeing in panic.

Jiang Zao reached out his hand, only to feel nothing.

Chunyu is eight years old this year. Because her parents died, she was sold to Anxing Town by her uncle. She was originally supposed to work as a servant girl in a wealthy family.

By chance, he was met by Xie Chengjing and his group who had just arrived here.

For some unknown reason, he bought this half-grown girl and gave her to Que Yunsheng.

They stayed in Room No. 1 of the inn.

When Shizhu went to the small kitchen to make something delicious for her young master.

I saw Jiang Zao holding a wooden stick and directing the chef of the inn to cook while sitting on a small bench nearby.

Strangely, the rather temperamental chef had a kind face, and asked carefully, "Miss, are the strips too thick... do you want three or four cloves of garlic... do you want the green onions to be cut into sections or...?"

Shizhu used to think that girls were gossipy, but she didn't expect that a chef could be so talkative.

Curiosity drove him forward.

"What are you doing?"

Chunyu saw that Jiang Zao was busy, and immediately chirped, "Miss is teaching him how to cook."

Shizhu's eyes became brighter as she listened.

He blurted out, "I'll pay for it, and ask your lady to make one too."

When Shizhu brought four dishes into the house.

Xie Chengjing is reading a book.

He smelled the flavor in the air and cast a look over his shoulder, "The flavor is different today. Did you change the chef?"

"No, Master. This is what Miss Jiang taught the chef to make. I think it's good. Please try it first."

Xie Chengjing tasted a piece slowly and said, "Not bad."

Que Yunsheng said that Jiang Zao was his master's daughter, and he didn't expect that she had such good cooking skills.

Que Yunsheng will be blessed in the future.

Shi Zhu was swiftly setting the table, "Master, I heard that Que Yunsheng wants to send his fiancée to Ning County first before reporting to the Hexi camp."

He picked up a piece of dried bamboo shoots and said, "Master, I have something to say but I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Since you asked, just tell me." Xie Chengjing said while tasting the food.

Very delicious indeed.

The ingredients are very simple, but the taste is completely different.

Shizhu glanced at her young master, who was handsome and noble.

"I really can't understand why you want to give Que Yunsheng a letter of recommendation. Even if he has some talent, he is still young. How can he be of any help? Moreover, he has guessed the identity of the young master. In order to prevent the news from leaking out, should he be a subordinate..."

Shizhu made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Xie Chengjing said coldly, "Do you know which of the people around the young master can be of great use? Don't underestimate anyone with potential."

"This……"

"We are out here this time, nominally to enjoy the scenery, but in reality... you just need to keep some of these things to yourself. As for Que Yunsheng, I have my own arrangements."

After Xie Chengjing had eaten and drunk his fill, Shizhu handed him a handkerchief and he wiped his hands carefully.

"Go tell Que Yunsheng that we are also going to Ning County. Let's go together so that we can take care of each other."

When Que Yunsheng learned the news, he immediately agreed.

Later he sat in the room in silence.

Jiang Zao's senses became sharper because of his eye problems. "What's wrong, Que Yunsheng?"

Que Yunsheng did not hide it from her, "The noble man wants to go with us."

To prevent Jiang Zao from thinking too much, he added, "I'll go change to a carriage later, so that the journey will be more comfortable."

Jiang Zao blurted out, "Where do we get the money?"

Que Yunsheng said honestly, "I'll go borrow it from that young master."

They are in the same boat now, so they can't just watch their subordinates feel disheartened, can they?

Although Jiang Zao knew the young master's identity, he felt that it was not appropriate to ask others for money.

After thinking for a while, she looked up and said to Que Yunsheng, "Don't worry, I want to give it a try."

"What can you do?"

"We'll see."

Jiang had already kicked him out and was carefully going over the plan in his mind.

After counting the remaining money he had, he asked Chunyu to go out and ask where the bamboo forest was.

Que Yunsheng was extremely curious, and he followed Jiang Zao's instructions to cut some bamboo, and brought it back in small pieces.

Then, under Jiang Zao's instruction, they began to cut bamboo strips.

After the first finished product came out, I tried it with both hands according to what Jiang Zao said.

Que Yunsheng's face was filled with a joyful smile, "Jiang Zao, it can fly."

Jiang Zao nodded.

When in the last town, Jiang had already discovered that the people there were very short of food and toys.

Maybe everyone is busy filling their stomachs, so no one takes the time to study other types of toys.

This gave her an idea.

Maybe she could support herself with the ideas in her head and the work of her hands.

She made the world's first bamboo dragonfly.

"Look, if we want to sell bamboo dragonflies, how much is appropriate?"

When Que Yunsheng heard that it could be sold, he thought it meant he could make money.

"Bamboo is wild, and no one cares how much you cut. It's also very simple to make, though it takes a bit of effort. I think three cents is a good price."

Jiang Zao thought about it and said, "Then three cents for one, five cents for two."

Without further ado, the two agreed to make more overnight and set up a stall in town tomorrow.

The next morning, Jiang Zao also wanted to go with them, because although she couldn't see, she could hear and understand what other business she could do.

Their small stall doesn't take up much space, just a corner where people come and go.

With a makeshift haystack on his shoulder and filled with bamboo helicopters, the journey began.
