The dead general was kidnapped by his husband and taken to farm.

It was dinner time, and the restaurant was quite crowded. The two of them found a seat and sat down. Not long after, the waiter came up with the menu.

"Gentlemen, please take a look at what to eat. Our signature dish, fried guinea fowl with dried scallops, is the only one in town and is extremely delicious."

The waiter handed the menu to the two of them, while introducing the food in a torrent of words.

The menus in ancient times only had the names of the dishes but no pictures of the dishes. However, since it is a signature dish, the price must be expensive.

Jiang Shian took a quick look and saw that this dish alone was selling for five taels of silver. He said he couldn't afford it as he hadn't started making money yet.

This was also his first time eating in an ancient restaurant. Looking at the dazzling array of dishes, his mouth was watering. Vegetarian dishes can be made at home, so it would be more cost-effective to eat more meat.

He ordered Dongpo pork, steamed chicken with rice flour and a pickled fish, and two servings of rice, then handed the menu to Ji Yinghuai.

"Come on, Ji Er, see if there's anything else you want to eat. It's my treat."

Ji Yinghuai took it and glanced at it casually. Three meat dishes were enough for them. He was eating and drinking for free now, and he didn't know how much money the other party had. He couldn't let him go bankrupt and drive him out.

"These few dishes are enough. If not, order more." He handed the list to the waiter beside him.

The waiter looked around at the two of them. He didn't expect that this family was actually being treated to dinner by their brother. This guy is really incompetent.

While waiting for the food to be served, another waiter came to pour tea for the two of them. There was no a la carte service and the tea tasted average.

Jiang Shian took a sip and put it down, thinking that drinking water would be better.

His stomach was growling with hunger, and he tapped the table with his fingers out of boredom. He looked at Ji Yinghuai and asked, "We've been shopping all morning. What kind of business do you think can make money in town?"

Ji Yinghuai hesitated for a while before speaking: "Shi An, why don't you try spices and ointments. The shops in this town have rouge and powder, but I have never seen spices like this.

It is not commonly used in the countryside, but the young men and women in the town will definitely like it. Nowadays, the weather is getting hotter, and when you go out, you will have a bad smell on your body, and spices can cover it up. In addition, some spices can calm the mind and help you sleep. "

Seeing Jiang Shian nod with interest, he continued, "As for this ointment, it is used more often. It whitens and moisturizes the skin. Ladies and brothers will definitely like it."

These things are sold in a shop almost every few steps in the capital, from the rich and powerful to the common people.

Anyone would dislike you if you have a bad smell.

These are common in the capital, but have never been seen in this town. If you start your own business, you won't have to worry about not making money.

After Ji Yinghuai's reminder, Jiang Shian also remembered that a certain history book he had read before did say: "The ancients liked to use incense and believed that "fragrance nourishes the nature."

From inserting fragrant herbs to wearing scented sachets. Rich people would even use scented perfume on their clothes before wearing them.

He looked at Ji Yinghuai and touched his chin thoughtfully. This man had a cool fragrance on him, which was quite pleasant.

The use of incense is not yet popular in this town, so it might be a good idea to try and make my first buck by using incense in this small place.

But... thinking about the ingredients and cooking methods, Jiang Shian frowned. He knew nothing about these, and he didn't know if the bookstore had any relevant books. He would go back and try it himself.

Ji Yinghuai looked at the frown on the face of the person opposite him and roughly knew what the other person was worried about.

He does have a man here who can make incense. The old man has superb medical skills, but no one knows that he is even better at making all kinds of incense.

But the person is probably in the capital now. If he invites him here, then the fact that he is not dead will be exposed.

Before he could speak, Jiang Shian expressed his thoughts first.

"I don't know how to make incense, I need to study for a while. But I have thought of a way to make money, can you help me see if it's feasible?"

He introduced the toothpaste and toothbrush to Ji Yinghuai in detail.

When Ji Yinghuai heard about the method and effect, his eyes lit up. He was a man who loved cleanliness, and he couldn't speak in a sarcastic way when he was talking to so many soldiers every day.

So I would brush it carefully with willow branches every time. The other thing was the breath-freshening pills the old man gave me.

He had never seen what Jiang Shian was talking about, a toothbrush that could clean teeth with its bristles and also make them whiter.

"I think it's feasible." Ji Yinghuai paused, "I used to know an old man, he might have a way to make the tooth powder you mentioned, Shi An, if you need it, I..."

"Don't!"

Before he could finish, Jiang Shian interrupted him.

He is not stupid. The man does not look like an ordinary person. He must have been staying in this small place to hide his identity. If he invites Ji Er here, he will be exposed.

If his enemies are attracted, he will suffer as well.

Tooth powder can freshen breath and improve yellow teeth. Ordinary doctors should be able to make it.

"I think Doctor Wang, who treated your injury last time, is a very capable doctor. If it sells well, Doctor Wang can make some extra money."

"Well, I'll do as you say. If you need anything, I have people who can help me."

I know Jiang Shian is smart, but I didn't expect that he even noticed that he was deliberately hiding his identity. Thinking that he was hiding it for him, Ji Yinghuai felt a warm feeling in his heart.

This guy was obviously not very familiar with him, and he had always said that he ate and drank for free and wanted to kick him out. But at this moment, he still cared about his safety.

Jiang Shian had no idea what was going on in the man's mind. If he knew, he would probably roll his eyes and pout.

His ultimate goal is definitely what he said next.

Just at this moment, the waiter was walking towards them with dishes, and they heard shouting from a distance.

"Okay, here are the freshly steamed chicken and Dongpo pork. Thank you for waiting."

The steaming and fragrant dishes were served on the table one by one. Jiang Shian didn't bother to talk, his eyes were fixed on the dishes on the table.

They look delicious and tasty. He often makes these two dishes himself in modern times, but he doesn't know how they taste compared to the authentic ones from ancient times.

The Dongpo pork on the table was fat and lean, and covered with soup.

Jiang Shian picked up the bowl of rice in front of him and greeted Ji Yinghuai. He couldn't wait to pick up a piece of Dongpo pork with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

The meat is tender and melts in your mouth. It has a strong aroma of soy sauce and a sweet taste. It is still very delicious.

Compared to his greedy look, the man opposite was much more elegant. He picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of steamed chicken with rice flour without haste.

Seeing the chicken being put into his bowl, Jiang Shian subconsciously restrained the way he was eating.

He is truly worthy of being a nobleman, he really can't compare to him.

Then the last dish was served, pickled fish.

The fish used is sea bass, which is not bad, but it is more suitable for steaming or braising. It will taste better.

Jiang Shian noticed that Ji Yinghuai didn't eat much. He only took a few bites of each dish. Instead, he kept serving him food.

This guy doesn't look thin even though he eats so little at each meal. Thinking of the eight-pack abs I saw when I was cleaning him that day, could it be that he eats so much that his body is all soft flesh?

It seems that he will have to exercise in his spare time. They are both men, so it is not good to let the other party outdo him.

Both of them were very satisfied with the meal, and the waiter said, "Sir, please come again next time."

Jiang Shian paid the money and the two of them walked towards the market.

They were all meat dishes, and the portions were big. The total cost was five hundred coins, which was quite affordable.

At this hour, I wonder if the village chief’s family is still selling vegetables at the market, or has already returned to the village?

They were going to buy some chickens and ducks, so they looked for a ride. It was a long way back, about two hours.

After eating and drinking, Jiang Shian was in a particularly good mood. He kept smiling all the way, attracting the attention of passers-by on both sides of the road.

We have a big yard at home and it’s hot now, so we can just find some grass to feed them.

Jiang Shi'an bought twenty chickens and twenty ducks. The duck seller was an old lady. Seeing that he bought a lot, she gave him two bamboo cages and half a bag of corn crumbs that she ground herself.

Ji Yinghuai followed behind and picked up his things. Jiang Shian paid the money and walked forward with big strides.

The stall owners around looked at the two men with complicated expressions. Could this man be a daughter-in-law? It's true that you can't judge a woman by her appearance.

Jiang Shian went to the bookstore and bought a few books on flowers and spices.

Passing by a bun shop, Jiang Shian bought a few big meat buns. The vegetarian buns were two for one cent, and the meat buns were one for one cent.

Then the two of them followed the market and finally saw the village chief and his family packing up their things at the end.

There were only three or four vegetables left, and quite a few leaves on the ground.

Seeing the two of them, the village head's wife paused while packing her things and called them over, "Shi An is here. I was afraid you couldn't wait and had already gone back at this hour."

Jiang Shian smiled and handed over the oil paper bag in his hand, "It's a little late to go shopping, sister-in-law, you must be hungry too, I bought a few buns, eat them while they're hot."
