The servant said, "Mr. Xiao has excellent character."

Mr. Tao smiled for once and nodded, "That's good."

Then he taught his son: "In the future, play less with bastards like Cao Feng, and play more with those with good character. They will never lead you astray."

……

When Xiao Yan returned to Zaoshu Village by carriage, the sun had just set.

However, Xiao Yan did not let the carriage into the village. He got off at the village entrance.

He first sent back home all the things he had brought out of the examination room.

There was no one at home, so he knew without thinking that she must be at his wife's house again, and he must be having dinner at his wife's house again tonight.

He took out the roast duck, beggar's chicken, and shrimp rolls, all of which he had just bought from the county. He had to eat them in the evening, otherwise they would not be so fresh.

Especially the beggar's chicken, it's still hot.

He also bought some cakes, naturally from the most famous cake shop in the county.

He left a few packets at home, picked up the rest, and then went to his wife's house.

The four members of the Tian family were very happy to see him come back.

"Not thin, not thin." Tian said happily.

Seeing what he bought, the four of them laughed again: "Fortunately, you told Ningning in advance, otherwise the table would be full of food tonight."

Xiao Fushan said: "Shengcai, we can have another drink tonight."

Jiang Shengcai was grinning from ear to ear. With so many dishes, chicken, duck, and even shrimp, he definitely needed a drink.

Tian and Sun both laughed and said, "Go ahead, you guys fix it."

In fact, Xiao Yan had not told his wife in advance that he would buy some food, but he and his wife grew up together, and his wife knew all his habits. Naturally, his wife knew that he would buy something every time he came back from going out.

At this moment, naturally, he did not reveal his true intentions in front of the four people from the Tian family.

There are many kinds of cakes, including flower-folded goose cake, donkey roll, jujube paste cake, poria cake, mung bean cake, and peach cake.

The first thing Jiang Ningning opened was the Huazhe Goose Cake, which is actually a rice cake, but the filling is goose meat.

Jiang Ningning and Tian Shi all tried it and found it tasted good.

However, Tian and the others would rather eat meat in big mouthfuls, so they only ate one piece and then stopped.

Jiang Ningning, on the other hand, ate several pieces and tried other pastries, which resulted in her being unable to eat much of her dinner.

Jiang Ningning drank some bone soup and ate a few shrimp rolls for dinner.

Although Tian and Sun didn't prepare so many dishes for dinner, they still made quite a few. Together with the three dishes Xiao Yan bought, it was quite a feast anyway.

None of the other three Tian family members asked how Xiao Yan did in the exam.

Even though their son had changed a lot and they no longer had to worry about anything happening to him due to stress, Tian and Xiao Fushan still didn't want to put any pressure on their son.

What's more, in the past, when their son came back from exams, they never asked him how he did. It was only on the day the results came out that they found out that he failed.

Tian and Xiao Fushan didn't ask, and Sun and Jiang Shengcai certainly didn't ask either. Whether he passed the exam or not, he was still their good son-in-law.

Jiang Ningning, on the other hand, sat in the corridor and looked at the moon after finishing her dinner. When Xiao Yan finished his meal and sat next to her, she asked:

"How is it? Can you pass the exam?"

Xiao Yan said, "I think I can pass the exam, but the number of places is limited, and I don't know how others have performed. It also depends on the examiners. They might think my answers are rebellious."

Jiang Ningning was amused when she heard this, and lowered her voice to laugh, "Why, you mixed in your own thoughts?"

Xiao Yan also lowered his voice: "The answers compiled from what the original owner learned are really too outdated. I always feel that I need to innovate, so I added some of my own."

Jiang Ningning hugged her knees and laughed non-stop.

The four Sun family members in the main room heard Jiang Ningning's laughter. Although they didn't know what was wrong, they were all very happy and their appetites improved.

Even Jiang Shengcai and Xiao Fushan couldn't help but drink two more cups.

The two families are living a good life now. They have meat almost every meal and rarely eat brown rice anymore. They only eat refined rice and white flour. This is something they could not even imagine before.

"How long will it take for the results to come out?" Jiang Ningning asked again.

Xiao Yan said, "There are many students taking the exam this time, and they said it will take half a month to come out."

Jiang Ningning nodded.

"Since you like the Huazhe Goose Cake so much, buy some when you go to the county tomorrow." Xiao Yan couldn't help but remind him.

He didn't know that his wife would love to eat it so much, so when he bought it, he bought a little of each item and didn't buy a lot of any one thing.

While at the dinner table, he already knew that his shop was not the only one in town selling burritos and sausages, there were others selling them as well.

It’s just that others can sell some wraps, but not a single sausage.

He also knew that she wanted to expand her sausage business to the county, and that she would go to the county tomorrow to take a look.

"I know." Jiang Ningning agreed obediently. Then she said, "We are about to expand our business to the county. Isn't it time to give our stall a name? Having a name will make it easier to develop a chain and brand in the future."

"What would you like to be called?"

"I'm terrible at naming. If you really want me to pick one, I'll definitely just add our last names together. Jiang Xiao Sausage?"

"Then let's call it Jiang Xiao Grilled Sausage." Xiao Yan had no objection. He thought it was just a name and it didn't matter what it was called.

"Then you're going to write these words on the sign? My handwriting isn't pretty right now, yours looks better."

"Ah."

That night, Jiang Ningning and her friends made a few signboards, and Xiao Yan wrote the words "Jiang Xiao Grilled Sausage" on each of them.

As for why the word "rolled pancake" was not written on it, the four members of the Tian family naturally asked.

Jiang Ningning said:

"Someone else is already selling burritos. We mainly sell sausages, and we use that to attract customers. We sell burritos as a side dish to make more money.

I think every penny I can earn is a penny earned.

In the past two days, the profit from wraps only accounts for one-fifth of our total daily profit, which has dropped a bit compared to the beginning. If the sausage business is more prosperous in the future, the profit from the wrap business will naturally account for a smaller proportion, and we will naturally stop doing this wrap business.

Because instead of doing this, it would be better to use this manpower to make more sausages and earn more money."

The four members of the Tian family suddenly understood and nodded.

……

The next day, Jiang Ningning and her friends hung a sign on their stall in the town.

The man selling fried dough sticks opposite and the man selling wontons next door were both illiterate, and many of the customers were also illiterate, so they all asked what the words were, and they thought they were written very beautifully.

Jiang Ningning and the others naturally called it 'Jiang Xiao Grilled Sausage'.

He also explained that the name came from the fact that one of their families had the surname Jiang and the other had the surname Xiao.

With this explanation, it is easy for everyone to remember.

From then on, people who wanted to buy sausages would say they were going to Jiang Xiao’s sausage stall, instead of going to the stall at the end as before.

It was not until after the morning market that Xiao Yan went to the academy to take martial arts classes, while Jiang Ningning went to the county with her father Jiang Shengcai to check out the situation.

Although they were just going to check out the situation and were not in a hurry, Jiang Ningning and Jiang Shengcai still took a carriage.

If we took an ox cart, it would definitely take about half an hour, but taking a horse cart was much faster, and it took less than half the time of taking an ox cart to get from Si'an Town to Dengping County.

It is a county after all, so its prosperity is naturally incomparable to that of a town. There are so many more streets alone.

The prices of many things are also higher than in town.

Although Jiang Shengcai is the father, he doesn't know how to get familiar with the situation. Even though Jiang Ningning gave him a general idea yesterday, he didn't understand and just followed his daughter Jiang Ningning.

Jiang Ningning's goal was much clearer, and she headed straight for the busiest street in the county.
