Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

As soon as Shen Zheng arrived at the mansion gate, she met Jiang Sheng who had returned from shopping.

Looking at the large and small bags in the car, Shen Zheng was slightly puzzled: "Why buy all this?"

Crispy candy?

Sauce-dried meat?

Green plums pickled in osmanthus honey?

Cool mat and pillow?

And...stationery items?

Could it be that...something happened in the mansion that she didn't know about?

"Sir." Jiang Sheng jumped off the carriage and bowed respectfully. "These were ordered by the housekeeper Gu. She said that you might... return to Tong'an County soon, so she asked me to buy some special products from Beijing so that you can bring them back to Tong'an County."

Brought her back to Tongan County?

Shen Zheng once again felt the care and consideration of Nanny Gu.

Seeing that she was about to leave Beijing, she had been dealing with official affairs for the past two days, running around in the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Justice, the Printing House, and the Xianhuan Society, and she had never thought of bringing any gifts back to the county.

Out of guilt, she, who had always been stingy, became generous.

"Pick some more sesame seeds, and some of the marinade ingredients for Yunchunlou. Oh, and pick some of the jewelry, perfume, and rouge that the girls in Beijing love to use. As for the rest... go ask Nanny Gu for some advice."

Jiang Sheng nodded blankly, thinking to himself, Your Excellency is really kind to the people of Tongan County...

"Oh, sir..."

"Manager Jiang——"

As soon as he started talking, he was interrupted by a voice.

A carriage came around the corner, and the person inside popped their head out and shouted, "Is that Manager Jiang?"

The carriage was getting closer and closer, and Shen Zheng could already see the face of the person who came. The person was squinting his eyes, trying to confirm whether it was Jiang Sheng or not.

Shen Zheng: “…”

What a severe myopia.

It wasn't until the carriage stopped and the other person got out, holding up his skirt, that he finally confirmed: "It's a good thing I caught up with you, otherwise my Yunxianglou would have almost made a big mistake!"

Jiang Sheng was shocked and asked hurriedly, not caring about Shen Zheng's presence, "What's wrong?"

"It's all because of this blind man!" The other man grabbed a young man by the ear and said, "He's a newcomer who doesn't know what's good. The dried meat in sauce I packed for you is short-lived, low in sugar and salt. It can only be kept for ten days at most, not two months at all! I really... After you left, I counted the remaining dried meat and realized he took the wrong one. I hurriedly brought him and the dried meat to apologize to you..."

Shen Zheng understood.

Judging from what he said, the other party should be the manager of Yunxiang Tower.

The shelf life of cured meat is closely related to the curing technique. Salt and sugar are natural preservatives. The longer the meat is air-dried and the more sugar and salt it contains, the longer it can be preserved.

Similar to the ham and bacon she was familiar with.

"This building of yours is really..." Jiang Sheng's face turned ugly and he felt guilty in his heart.

He couldn't imagine the scene - the adults were hurrying back to Tongan County with the braised pork, but halfway through, the meat went rancid...

Then when the master comes back, it will probably be the day he is expelled from the house.

Seeing Jiang Sheng's face flushed with anger, the manager of Yunxianglou apologized repeatedly, and Shen Zheng walked down the steps.

The Yunxianglou manager slowly turned his head, squinted his eyes, and said in shock: "You, you, you..."

It seems like his eyes really can be discarded.

"My eyesight is not good. I didn't see that the adults were there. Damn it, damn it!"

He quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, which made Shen Zheng feel uncomfortable.

"Since it was an unintentional mistake, just exchange the goods and it will be fine. Steward, there is no need to be so reckless. Please stand up and talk first."

Although she doesn't like to use her official position to pressure others, as a consumer, she is very aware of her rights.

If the manager of Ruoyunxianglou didn't come to find her, causing her to return to Tongan County with the stinky dried meat, then the next time she returns to Beijing, she will also bring the stinky dried meat to the manager's house to defend her rights.

The manager of Yunxiang Tower stood up and wiped his sweat, but the more he wiped, the more sweat he sweated.

He stammered, "Shen, Master Shen, I admit my fault. I brought double the amount of dried meat as an apology, and ten packets of braised meat sauce..."

The sincerity of this apology cannot be said to be unsatisfactory.

Shen Zheng refused, "No need. Just take whatever's needed. Jiang Sheng will go and check the goods."

After saying this, she turned back to her house, but was stopped by the Yunxianglou's steward who bravely said, "Shen, Master Shen, I am the owner of Yunxianglou, my surname is Wan. I have a business deal I'd like to do with you. I hope you can give me a stick of incense and let me tell you a few things. If you think it's inappropriate, I won't bother you!"

"Do business with me?" Shen Zheng turned around, slightly confused.

No wonder the apology was so generous, it turned out that the real purpose was not to apologize.

Shopkeeper Wan wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded with gritted teeth: "Yes, there is a business..."

Jiang Sheng was startled. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Manager Wan's sleeve, gritting his teeth. "You're such a good fellow, Wan Ronghua! I was wondering why you let the waiter load the goods today while you kept talking to me. So you had this in mind!"

He pulled Wan Ronghua towards the carriage and lowered his voice: "You put the wrong things in your building. My master is broad-minded and will not hold it against you, but don't push it any further. Come with me and exchange the goods back!"

Looking around the capital, which official would do business with a restaurant?

I’m afraid people will laugh at me if I tell them!

"Oh, Manager Jiang, please don't pull me..." Wan Ronghua stood still and refused to move, looking at Shen Zheng eagerly: "Master Shen, this business of mine is related to Liuyang Mansion. I hope you will listen to my advice!"

The sincerity on his face could not be faked. Shen Zheng paused, turned around, and walked down the stairs.

"In that case, I still have a question. I hope Manager Wan can help me solve it first, and then we can discuss whether the business is good or not."

Wan Ronghua was very excited to be able to talk to her.

"Master Shen, if you say so, I will tell you everything I know!"

"it is good."

There were a few people watching the fun at the corner of the street. Judging from their appearance, they were probably the managers of a mansion on Yintai Street.

Shen Zheng stood in front of Wan Ronghua and said seriously, "My family, the Shen family, purchased goods from Yunxianglou. Yunxianglou loaded the wrong goods. But as a buyer, you apologized sincerely and made timely corrections. Therefore, I will not hold you accountable."

Wan Ronghua didn't understand what she meant and nodded blankly.

She continued, "But if your Yunxianglou wants to discuss business with me, I won't be the buyer, but a partner. Just so you know, Yunxianglou has just made such a mistake, and you're talking to me about cooperation. How can I trust you enough to work with me?"

See the big picture from the small details and see the big picture from the small.

She is not a picky person, but when it comes to cooperation between officials and businessmen, one can end up losing money if one is not careful, which is not worth the loss.

"Little one, little one..." Wan Ronghua's forehead was covered with sweat, and he was speechless.

"In that case, Manager Wan, please go back." Shen Zheng turned and walked towards the mansion.

"Master Shen!"

Wan Ronghua caught up again.
