The couple in the last days traveled to ancient times, farming and storing grain and meat in the war

"Then I'll go with you tomorrow. It's just the right time to buy all the things for setting up a stall, such as sausage casings, corn starch and other raw materials. I think we can set up a stall in town the day after tomorrow." Jiang Ningning said.

"Okay, okay, okay." Everyone had no objection.

The next day, after breakfast, Jiang Ningning, Xiao Yan, Jiang Shengcai and Xiao Fushan took Uncle Zhou's ox cart from the village to the town.

When they arrived at the place where cattle were sold, there were many cattle to choose from. Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan were not really knowledgeable, but Jiang Shengcai and Xiao Fushan were really knowledgeable and examined all the cattle carefully.

Finally, a yellow cow with medium size, well-developed muscles and well-proportioned structure was selected.

It costs fourteen taels of silver.

Water buffaloes are much cheaper, but cattle are more adaptable and heat-resistant than water buffaloes. Even in the hot summer, they don't need to be immersed in water all the time...

Taking all factors into consideration, it is naturally appropriate to choose scalpers.

And this yellow cattle is of high quality, so the price of fourteen taels is reasonable.

In addition, they gave me an ox cart as a gift, and the quality and workmanship of the ox cart were also good, so I bought it without much bargaining.

Many documents were established and stamped with many seals.

There are big seals, small seals, and all kinds of them.

Finally, Xiao Yan gave the receipt to Jiang Ningning to keep, so as not to lose it. Who knows how long these things will last.

Jiang Ningning put it into the space while Jiang Shengcai and the others were not paying attention.

Then we pulled the ox cart and went shopping in town.

After buying the things, Jiang Ningning asked Jiang Shengcai and Xiao Fushan to wait for them at a place where they could park the ox cart, while she and Xiao Yan went to buy a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

Jiang Shengcai thought it was for Xiao Yan and didn't pay much attention to it. But when Xiao Fushan asked casually, he realized that it was for Jiang Ningning to use it herself.

"Xiao Yan will have to return to the academy sooner or later. I am the one who manages the family's finances now, and I also have to set up a stall to do business. It would be best if there is someone in the family who can read and understand everything. This way, we won't suffer losses easily.

It just so happened that Xiao Yan taught me some characters these days, so I thought about buying a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone and learning to write well.

I will learn more words from Xiao Yan in the future.

This way, I'll be able to sign documents and other things in the future without having Xiao Yan around." Jiang Ningning said half-truthfully.

Xiao Fushan and Jiang Shengcai were even more delighted when they heard this. Of course, it would be better to have more literate people in the family.

People like them are blind and sometimes they don’t even know when they are being cheated and have their fingerprints randomly pressed.

"Buy, buy, go buy it quickly." The two even urged.

Jiang Ningning just took this opportunity to make her family stop thinking that she was illiterate.

But writing really requires practice. She doesn't have the muscle memory like her husband. She has never written calligraphy in her original world. In any case, it will definitely not look good.

The pens, ink, paper and inkstones used in bookstores are very expensive, otherwise so many people wouldn't be unable to afford to read.

This set of pens, ink, paper and inkstone were not good ones, but very ordinary ones, but it only cost more than one or two taels of silver.

The frying pan has been bought and put on the ox cart. It can be used to fry meat sausages and starch sausages.

But they thought it would be better to buy a special sausage grilling plate, so after Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan left the bookstore, they went to the blacksmith and asked him to help make a sausage grilling plate.

It’s better to make a bigger one.

Naturally, there is no such thing in this world, so Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan described it in detail, saying that this sausage grilling plate is equivalent to a thick iron plate with ten grooves, and one groove can hold a sausage.

Of course there is a handle.

In case the blacksmith didn’t understand, Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan drew it out.

When the blacksmith saw the painting, he naturally understood it better.

Normally, it would take at least three days to get this product, but because Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan paid a little more money, and it was still early today, they should be able to get the grilled sausage plate by noon tomorrow.

After coming out of the blacksmith shop, Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan walked into an empty alley.

Jiang Ningning then took out half a bag of cumin seeds from her space. She also had quite a bit of this stuff stored in her space.

Just go back and grind the seeds into powder.

Everything was bought, even the mung bean sprouts. Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan naturally didn't go to buy anything else, but went to meet Xiao Fushan and Jiang Shengcai.

Seeing Xiao Yan carrying half a bag of things, and not knowing what they were, Xiao Fushan took it and looked at it, but he didn't recognize it either.

Jiang Shengcai also leaned over and looked into the cloth bag, but he didn't recognize it either.

Jiang Ningning said, "This is cumin seeds. I bought it at the pharmacy. It's a medicinal herb that can cure diseases."

Then, Jiang Ningning lied without even thinking:

"I wanted our sausages to be more fragrant when they're grilled. Xiao Yan then remembered that he had read in a book that cumin seeds have a unique aroma. I thought of grinding it into powder and sprinkling it on the starch sausages. It would definitely be fragrant."

When Jiang Shengcai and Xiao Fushan heard this, they both waved their hands and said, "No, no, this is a medicinal herb, how can it be used for food? Medicine can't be taken casually."

Jiang Ningning said, "Aren't cinnamon and other herbs also medicinal? How can they be added to food? I've asked around, and cumin can cure indigestion and calm the liver. Besides, we're not using it in large quantities, just a little bit, so it won't be a problem."

If it were anything else, Jiang Shengcai and Xiao Fushan might still have doubts, but when they heard that it could cure indigestion and reduce internal heat, they thought that sprinkling a small amount should not be a problem.

The two of them nodded.

Jiang Ningning said again:

"This stuff must be ground into powder and spread, but it's not easy to spread it like this.

Xiao Yan and I plan to add some other things to this and make it our family's secret seasoning. After all, apart from doctors, few people can taste what is added.

Moreover, when several flavors are mixed together, it may be difficult for an ordinary doctor to distinguish them.

For example, those very good doctors, they certainly have enough food and drink, so even if they can find out what is added to the food, they don’t need to reveal our secret recipe to others and ruin our business.”

"Right, right, right." Jiang Shengcai and Xiao Fushan nodded repeatedly, thinking that this business might be more successful.

There was nothing else to do, so he took the ox cart home.

It is convenient to have an ox cart at home. Although only one person is driving the cart, Jiang Shengcai and Xiao Fushan both sit in the front.

Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan naturally sat together with the things they bought.

The ox cart was seen by the villagers before it entered the village.

The villagers saw that it was Jiang Shengcai driving the ox cart. The cart was new, and the oxen were unfamiliar. Uncle Zhou's oxen were not so well-raised. Besides Jiang Shengcai, there were only Jiang Ningning, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Fushan on the cart. No one else...

Of course, there is no need to think about it, you know that this cow was just bought from the town, and it belongs to Jiang Ningning, Xiao Yan and their family.

Everyone immediately showed envy in their eyes.

"To make money, buy a cow?"

"Yes, our two families bought it." Jiang Shengcai naturally didn't want others to misunderstand him, so he said this happily.

Xiao Fushan was also in high spirits. Sitting on the oxcart, he felt a little dizzy.

It’s so different sitting in this ox cart that’s our own.
