Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious
Chapter 64 Who is Meng Jiangnu crying for? 15
"You idiot, it's already the 19th day of the winter month, what can you do in three days? What can you do in three days!"
"Although my family A Yao is not planning to hold a wedding banquet, our two families should still sit down and have a good meal, right? Don't you want to prepare these things?"
Jiang Zhuo wanted to say that he could finish these things in half a day, but Mr. Meng obviously didn't want to hear his explanation.
"And has your family prepared a new house for my A-Yao? The doghouse you sleep in is so dirty. If you want to, you can come to my house with your luggage. I have a new one ready-made."
Before Mr. Meng finished speaking, Jiang Zhuo straightened his back and readily agreed: "Sure, I'll come!"
Mr. Meng: -----
His face turned red from holding his breath. The brat was so shameless that he almost had the words "getting married" branded on his forehead.
Jiang Zhuo was the only male in the Jiang family, so Mr. Meng didn't have to say much, and Jiang Zhuo was taken home by Jiang's father.
Although the wedding date could not be changed as Jiang Zhuo wished, it was forced to be moved forward to the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, which was considered a concession for both parties.
Ever since Jiang Zhuo came back, he would climb over the wall every night to chat with Gu Li. Of course, Gu Li didn't let him climb into bed with her, and the most she tolerated was just holding hands and saying some cheesy words.
"Brother, after you and I get married, I want to open a shop on my own!"
"Sister, you don't have to work so hard. I can support you." Jiang Zhuo and Gu Li leaned against the head of the bed side by side. Jiang Zhuo pinched Gu Li's fingers and played with them one by one.
"I want to run the shop myself." Gu Li said again.
Her parents had no other children but her. Fortunately, she married not far away and would provide for them in their old age.
She wants to make money.
When Jiang Zhuo went to the battlefield, no one knew when he would return next time. She could not be like Meng Jiangnu who cried at the Great Wall, but had to be like the wife-waiting stone who never left the house.
During the long years, she always had to find something to pass the time.
Men are not everything in her life, she needs to make money.
Seeing that Gu Li was so determined, Jiang Zhuo, who had not yet married her, only thought about it for a moment and then agreed.
"But I also have a request."
"What's the request? Tell me."
Jiang Zhuo held Gu Li's hand, his scorching eyes locked onto her face that glowed softly like warm jade, "Try to go out less often, and wear a face mask even when you go out. I will train a useful servant for you before I leave!"
Gu Li agreed to these harmless requests without thinking.
"Tomorrow I will ask my father to bring you the account books of our cloth shop. You can look at them at home first. If you have any questions, you can ask me!"
Gu Li glanced at him sideways. Because his family had been hearing about his military service in the past few years, they had already rented out a profitable restaurant, leaving only the cloth shop. Could his father just give the family's profitable business to a daughter-in-law who hadn't even married yet?
"No need, I'll ask my father for a shop to practice first!"
Jiang Zhuo lowered his eyes and thought for a moment without saying anything. Asking his father for the shop was indeed not a good idea. That was something his father had accumulated through his hard work throughout his life.
But he had money on him, so he could take advantage of these few days to go around the streets and buy a new shop for A-mei.
"Sister, what kind of business do you want to do?"
In fact, what Jiang Zhuo wanted to ask was why she wanted to do business, but when he saw the unwavering look in A-mei's eyes, he couldn't ask.
Just think of it as a fun way for her to pass the time.
He can afford it.
Gu Li had already thought about the matter regarding the store.
There was no such thing as an iron pot in this era. Iron ore was very scarce and basically controlled by the government, used to make weapons, armor, and utensils for the upper class.
The pots and pans in the kitchen are mainly clay pots, and the cooking methods are simple and crude, mostly boiling and baking.
Gu Li originally planned to open a restaurant. She had too many delicious menus in her mind. If you want to get rich, don't make it too easy!
But Gu Li didn't want to be too unique.
Human rights in feudal society are not something she can explain in just a few words. She is not a time-travelling girl from a book, so she doesn't need to make a career.
She just wanted to live a carefree life as Meng Jiangnu.
In addition, if you want to cook delicious food, you need all kinds of seasonings. Just searching for and making seasonings is a very complicated task. Many seasonings are not available here, and some have not even been introduced to this continent.
Just thinking about it is enough to give Gu Li a headache.
What if she has worked so hard to get everything done and achieved good results, but the powerful and wealthy become jealous and take her down?
Therefore, Gu Li only wanted to make some improvements based on the existing foundation of the Meng family.
"Let's try my father's tavern first."
The Meng family's wine shop sells ordinary liquor brewed by their servants using grain, and its customers are also ordinary people.
But most ordinary people would brew some wine and store it at home for their own drinking, so the wine shop owned by Mr. Meng had always been barely able to make back the investment.
Gu Li had looked at the account book of the tavern. If the tavern was not owned by the owner, Gu Li estimated that the shop would lose money.
"How do you want to run your business, sister? Do you have the skills to make wine?" Jiang Zhuo didn't want to be driven away, so he had to follow Gu Li's words to induce her to talk more with him.
Jiang Zhuo had also tried the wine sold in the Meng family wine shop. It was similar to the one made by his own mother and had no special features.
For many years, the business of Meng's restaurant has been lukewarm.
If there is no improvement in the quality of the drinks, simply changing the boss behind the scenes will not have much effect.
Jiang Zhuo: "There is a cook in our military camp who is very good at brewing liquor. The liquor is very strong. I will try to get the secret recipe from him. Then your liquor store will have customers."
"Well, there's no rush for this. Let's talk about it after you get back." Gu Li's tavern sells more than just wine.
"I will invite a storyteller to tell stories in the tavern." And then pair it with her special side dishes. Who will care what kind of wine they are drinking? What they are drinking is stories and life.
"Storyteller?" What kind of storyteller is that?
Gu Li was stunned. Wasn't there any such profession as storyteller at that time?
Never mind, she would inevitably be the first one to try something new.
"He's a storyteller. He serves the food to customers drinking in the tavern as a side dish!" Gu Li patiently told Jiang Zhuo about her plan to clear out a space in the tavern to put tables and chairs there, and find a man with good eloquence to sit in the tavern and tell stories.
"What do you think of this idea?" She had never done this before, and she rarely had the opportunity to go out, so she didn't know whether such an arrangement was suitable at the moment.
Jiang Zhuo's eyes lit up, "How can it be bad? It's absolutely amazing. I didn't expect my sister to be so smart!"
Gu Li puffed out her chest, "Of course, you only see my beauty, but my best feature is my brain!"
Jiang Zhuo's nostrils flared, but he couldn't help laughing: "Hahahahahaha!"
