"Hahaha, thank you, young lady." He bowed and left.
Jiang Qiu happily returned to Lu Ce and asked, "Guess how much money I made?"
Lu Ce: “Three thousand taels.”
Jiang Qiu has dead fish eyes.
Her interest in showing off was instantly reduced by half.
"You are so far away from me, how can your ears hear it?"
"I saw it." Lu Ce paid close attention to the imperial merchant.
He was not worried that Jiang Qiu would suffer a loss, he just wanted to see what he would say.
Jiang Qiu was dumbfounded: "Can you tell what someone is saying by looking at their lip shape?"
Lu Ce nodded.
Jiang Qiu was speechless. This was too amazing. "You are so good."
She suddenly praised him sincerely, and Lu Ce didn't react. In the past, he often did work for her, but her eyes were not eyes and her nose was not a nose. Today, he showed a trivial skill, and she liked it very much.
Lu Ce really didn't understand.
"It's just a small matter. If you want to learn, I can teach you."
Jiang Qiu held his chin up and thought, "Forget about this for now. I still want to learn skills to save my life first, and then learn skills to make money."
Learning is really purposeful and without any interest.
“Forget it.” Lu Ce did not force it. He was also very young at the beginning, wandering around the palace and was really bored. He could always see the workers whispering to each other and wanted to listen to what they were saying, but he could not hear them because they were too far away. So he learned this skill and was able to hear a lot of gossip in the palace.
For him at that time, it was a very practical skill.
"Let's go back and sleep." Jiang Qiu said.
If things go on like this, she will easily get jealous of Lu Ce. Why is there such a big gap between people? He understands both civil and military strategies, is very good at commanding, has strong leadership, and has so many skills. Jiang Qiu is so jealous.
The night breeze blows gently, the branches and leaves sway in the wind, and the rustling sound seems to be the whisper of nature. Occasionally, the sound of cicadas can be heard in the grass, accompanied by the sound of the breeze blowing through the woods, deep and gloomy, immersed in the tranquility of the dark night, and everyone falls into an exceptionally sweet dream.
As the morning light shines, hazy mist lingers between the mountains on both sides of the ancient official road, like a light ink landscape painting.
Jiang Qiu slapped his face, forced himself to cheer up, turned his head and asked Lu Ce: "Did you feel a little cold last night?"
Lu Ce's memories were brought back to last night, when they shared a thin quilt. She rolled herself up into a ball, leaving him no space at all. Now she was still feeling wronged, and he felt helpless. "If it's cold, let's buy a thicker quilt next time we pass through a town."
The weather is not cold now, but it is a little chilly because we are close to the mountains and it is night.
Jiang Qiu: "It depends. Let's make them something to eat and let them taste the hot chestnut shortbread. This time, make more chestnut shortbread so that we can taste it ourselves and then share it with our exiles. Just cut one shortbread into four pieces. We don't need that many."
"Just do as you wish." Lu Ce usually just followed her decisions.
"Ah."
Jiang Qiu first prepared food for the officials, and then quickly went to make fried noodles with meat sauce for the merchants. Finally, he borrowed the gong from the officials and said to everyone, "We made some cakes earlier, and now there are some left. To thank you for your continued support of my business, I will let everyone taste them. If you are interested, you can line up to get a small piece of cake for free. The portion is not large, so please don't mind."
As for the free food, everyone just thought it was a surprise from heaven. How could they refuse it? They immediately started lining up.
Li Hongnian was responsible for cutting.
Lu Pandyi and Lu Mingyue were responsible for the division.
Everyone who ate the chestnut biscuits was amazed, and the emperor merchant also noticed it. Seeing that everyone was so interested in the chestnut biscuits, he believed that when he put them for sale in his own restaurant, there would be a lot of customers, and he would make a lot of money.
In addition to the people who distribute the chestnut cakes, other people are responsible for helping to make fresh chestnut cakes. Jiang Qiu also allows the imperial merchants to make better use of chestnut cakes to make money.
Golden, steaming chestnut shortbread slices came out of the pan. Huang Shang took one. It was still a little hot, but exuded a strong aroma. With a light bite, the crispy sound seemed to echo in his ears. It was wrapped with delicate chestnut paste, with a rich taste and so soft that people couldn't help but want to taste it bite by bite.
“It tastes really good.”
As a cook, Jiang Qiu was in a good mood when she heard people praising her delicious food. "I also think that you can make one batch first and wait until the previous batch is almost sold out before making the next batch. That way, every chestnut biscuit that the diners eat will be hot and taste even better."
"Thank you, young lady."
The royal merchant left with the recipe.
Jiang Qiu and the others also set out again. It would only take them three more months to reach Qiongzhou, which was not easy. She bumped into Lu Ce's arm and whispered, "I found that my mentality has completely changed since I got two big incomes. I used to squeeze every penny out of others, but today I am simply a generous rich man who actually shares delicious food with everyone."
"What are your plans for the future?"
"Yes, but I won't tell you for now." Jiang Qiu felt that his plan was a bit outrageous and might be difficult to execute, so he was reluctant to say it out loud. If it failed, it would be a bit embarrassing.
Lu Ce didn't force her.
Jiang Qiu asked back: "Do you have any plans?"
"Last time at the port, I bought some pens, ink, paper and inkstone. I plan to write a storybook."
"A storybook?" Jiang Qiu was surprised.
"Well, I can make some money by buying this." At the same time, it can convey some of his ideas.
"That's great." Jiang Qiu thought it was great that Lu Ce had the idea of making money. "What kind of story do you plan to write? Tell me about it. I might be able to give you some advice based on my years of experience reading picture books."
"It's about a thousand households who were ostracized after returning to their hometown and attacked by bandits. With his many years of experience, he protected the villagers and impressed everyone."
"You need to look at him with new eyes. Do you want to occupy a place and become the king, or lead a rebellion?" Jiang Qiu asked.
Lu Ce: "My identity is sensitive, I can't write such a story, otherwise I will be beheaded. I want to let everyone see the cruelty of the lower class people, so that I can write about my feelings about the art of war."
"This is a very high reading threshold. If your purpose is to make money, it may not be so suitable. However, I think you can write a story about a thousand households becoming a county magistrate. You see, you are just a county magistrate, so you will definitely not be feared by many people. At the same time, you can also make this guardian be looked down upon by many people at the beginning, and then be regarded by everyone with new eyes. Along the way, he must be appreciated by senior officials and favored by the eldest lady. In that case, the viewers will feel very affectionate and happy. Don't just output your own knowledge points dryly, which is very boring."
