Chapter 37 2 Brother's Return Gift

There were only two brothers in the dilapidated temple.

His younger brother Zhuang Xiaoshan almost choked while eating the white flour bun in small bites.

His brother Zhuang Dashan was still immersed in his own thoughts, but upon seeing this, he quickly gave him a few gulps of cold water.

Following his chest, he couldn't help but complain, "Xiaoshan, why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhuang Xiaoshan swallowed it and rolled his eyes, "Brother, I haven't eaten such sweet white flour buns in a long time. I want to eat them every day."

After hearing this, Zhuang Dashan felt a little melancholy for a moment.

If it were in the past, the younger brother's wish could be fulfilled, but since his parents passed away, his relatives occupied his family's land and almost sold it.

Zhuang Dashan and his brother fled all the way here, and lived a life of hunger and starvation.

Where can I fill my stomach?

He touched his brother's sparse hair and sighed inwardly.

A gust of wind blew, the weather became colder and colder, and the wind was filled with cold air.

Both of them shuddered involuntarily.

Zhuang Dashan put aside his thoughts on having a full meal and said, "Let's go find some wild fruits tomorrow."

Jiang Zao had sprouted some new bean sprouts that day, and he also taught Chunyu, Mo Bai and Mo Shan how to make fermented tofu together.

As soon as the bean sprouts appeared, they were sold out.

Even Yang Dianshi bought a lot of them, saying that he wanted to change his taste.

As for the cooking methods, Jiang Zao presented a few simple ones on the spot, and you would learn how to cook them at a glance.

If there is something you really don't understand, Chunyu will explain it to you.

As for why it sells so well, it’s naturally because people have a few more coins in their hands.

Recently, more people are traveling between Fufeng County and Dingzhou.

Some go in groups of three or five, while others go alone carrying small baskets.

There are even quite a few elderly people.

The baskets all contained the same item - tofu.

In Dingzhou city, several restaurants have launched tofu banquets, and the source of the tofu is the tofu from Fufeng County.

Mainly from the tofu stalls of Zhang Tietou’s family and Zhou Juan’s family.

Zhang Tietou did not inherit his father's blacksmith shop. Instead, he opened a tofu shop next door, and his business became more and more prosperous.

In order to consolidate this situation, he even met Zhou Juanniang and the two hit it off.

Jointly develop the supply of tofu to Dingzhou City.

The tofu stall of Zhou Juan's mother's family has developed from a small stall of hers and her sister to a large stall that employs an old woman to sell goods while she and her sister grind tofu day and night.

That storefront is their own home. They don't have to pay rent and it's next to the main road, so it's in an excellent location.

What made Zhou Juanniang happy was not only the expansion of the tofu stall and the cooperation with Zhang Tietou, but also the change in her father.

Doctors had predicted that he would not survive the end of this year.

Ever since I learned that my eldest daughter had a skill to make a living, I have become more energetic.

He volunteered to look after the shop, and even though he was paralyzed, he insisted on being carried to the shop.

He also set up a bed and would lean against it during the day to watch the old woman selling tofu, and at night he would draw down the curtains and go to sleep.

He still lies down all day, but compared to before, everyone who sees him can't help but exclaim, he is like a different person.

As for the young masters of the restaurants, after learning it, they will only provide it to their own restaurants.

The same goes for the tailor shop. After all, they just think of it as food, and it’s not expensive to buy, so they simply don’t open a shop.

These two families are not short of money, so naturally they cannot understand the impact of the tofu business on ordinary people.

Jiang Zao could feel the changes in the street as he walked along it. There were obviously more people coming and going.

People no longer all have numb expressions.

Watching this issue, she was thoughtful.

The next evening, when Jiang Zao came back from Maixiangfang, he saw two small figures as soon as he got off the carriage.

"Miss Jiang."

Jiang stopped early.

Huaifeng stood in front of her. He was so tall that he blocked Jiang Zao completely for a moment.

"We have no ill intentions." Zhuang Dashan said hurriedly, holding up a bag of large leaves of some unknown plant.

He was frightened by the sword that Huaifeng pulled out, and the things wrapped inside rolled out.

Rolled to Jiang Zao's feet.

There are dozens of wild fruits of different sizes and colors.

Jiang Zao could tell at a glance that there were sea buckthorn, golden hook pear, and even two bunches of small fruits, which were very small.

Seeing this, Huai Feng put away his sword, but still walked aside cautiously.

Jiang Zao's face was revealed. She bent down and picked up a bunch of small fruits with only a few seedlings on them. She washed them cleanly.

It can be seen that they took great pains to find the person.

However, it looks familiar, a bit like a peanut, but a little bit smaller...

"These are all given to Miss Jiang by my two brothers." Zhuang Dashan scratched his head and smiled innocently at the wild fruits scattered on the ground. "Thank you Miss Jiang for the steamed buns yesterday. They were delicious."

Jiang Zao looked at their tattered clothes, which could not even be patched up. There were also a few places that could not be mended and were left exposed.

She smiled gently, "Please come in and sit down."

Zhuang Dashan quickly waved his hands and ran away with his brother.

Jiang Zao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Is she that scary?

"Miss, what should we do with these wild fruits?" Chunyu said.

"Pick them all up and take them into the house."

Before eating, Jiang had already taken out the wild fruits and examined them carefully.

These wild fruits reminded her of the days she and Que Yunsheng spent at the bottom of the cliff.

It is also eaten as wild fruit.

His eyes darkened slightly.

She forced herself to collect her thoughts. Why did she think of Que Yunsheng again?

Lately, she had been feeling very unwell. Que Yunsheng had been gone for eight days, and she thought of him almost every day.

This is bad.

Jiang Zao suppressed his thoughts and picked up a bunch of small fruits.

She looked at the string of peanuts again and again, then peeled one.

A familiar fragrance wafted.

Just tilt your head back and throw it into your mouth.

Chunyu screamed, "Miss, you can't eat it."

These things have unknown origins, how can we eat them casually?

Jiang Zao ignored her and ate it directly.

It’s peanuts after all.

There was surprise in her eyes, and she immediately called Huaifeng and asked him to find out where the two little beggars lived.

After a while, Huaijian came back carrying a person in each hand.

Zhuang Dashan and his companion were completely unable to fight back and wailed in their hearts.

Fortunately, he saw Jiang Zao at last, and then he asked nervously, "Miss Jiang..."

"Don't be afraid, I have something to talk to you about." It was also her fault that she was in a hurry and didn't explain clearly, thus scaring people.

"Let's serve the meal first. You guys must be hungry." It was already past mealtime, so Jiang asked Chunyu to cook two dishes.

When the steaming hot food was served on the table, Zhuang Dashan's originally uneasy heart was healed by this meal.

No matter what, what is there to be afraid of as long as there is food to eat?

At worst, he'll just die of gluttony.

After they had eaten, Jiang Zao asked for information.

Only then did I realize that the reason the two brothers were able to survive so long was because they discovered an unknown little valley filled with wild flowers and weeds, and of course, all kinds of wild fruits.

Thanks to these, the two brothers managed to avoid starving to death when they had no food to eat.

"Where is it? Can you take me there? I'll pay for your travel expenses."
