The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house

Jiang Yan didn't expect to see a return payment, so she accepted it without even saying anything.

Captain Dong felt helpless and a little ashamed when he saw Madam Jiang's actions.

"that…."

Jiang Yan didn't expect that the captain had learned to be shy. It seemed that today's events were unusual.

Thinking that she had to listen whether she wanted to or not, she might as well be generous. She said bluntly: "Master Qianhu, if you have something to say, please speak directly. I am all ears."

Seeing that Madam Jiang had been so generous in letting him talk, Captain Dong stopped hiding anything. "Well, we found some wild grapes and beets, and we'd like Madam Jiang to make some more wine." Thinking back to the experience of selling those two jars of wine, Captain Dong finally felt they could finally hold their heads high. "We'll sell Madam Jiang's wine to the wealthy in the capital."

"Master Qianhu's ideals are quite ambitious! But..." Jiang Yan pointed at the two mule-drawn carts of beets and, for once, showed some toughness. "That's right, can you make wine from these big sweet radishes?"

"Pfft."

"Pfft~"

"Pfft~"

The officers and soldiers who came with Captain Dong were all amused by Madam Jiang's words.

"Hahaha~" Zhou Dasheng exaggeratedly leaned on Guo Xiucai's shoulder, looking like he couldn't laugh.

Guo Xiucai was so angry that he wanted to kick him away, but he was not as strong as Zhou Dasheng, so he could only passively listen to Zhou Dasheng's evil voice.

A young general, about seventeen or eighteen years old, who was following behind the mule cart, laughed so hard that he lowered his head and covered his mouth when he heard what Madam Jiang said. If he was not afraid of his father getting angry, he would have laughed as exaggeratedly as Zhou Dasheng.

He endured it again and again, but his father still noticed the deep smile in his eyes.

Captain Dong glared at him several times, and he had no choice but to lower his head even more.

Captain Dong has experienced many ups and downs, so he won't take Madam Jiang's jokes to heart.

Besides, what Madam Jiang said was right. No one can make wine from sweet radishes.

He just hoped that Madam Jiang could turn decay into magic.

As for the jokes from his brothers, he didn't care at all. As long as they could earn money from the rich and powerful, that was their real talent.

After everyone had laughed enough, Captain Dong continued:

"Madam Jiang, I was so happy the whole night thinking about how we could earn money from those high-ranking officials in the capital."

Jiang Yan looked up at the sky and said something that the captain liked. "If I could earn their money, I'd be happy too. Maybe I'd even have to shout a few times. I'm so happy today."

"That's right, that's why we rushed here before daybreak today. We just wanted to have a good chat with Madam Jiang about how we can earn money from those high-ranking officials over there."

"Just these big sweet carrots?"

Madam Jiang suddenly brought up this sentence again, and the officers and soldiers who came with Captain Dong almost broke through the defense again.

However, everyone knew that the captain was talking about serious matters with Madam Jiang, so they all tried hard to hold it in.

Only Zhou Dasheng was so happy that he couldn't straighten his back, "Hahaha~"

Captain Dong glared at Zhou Dasheng fiercely. Zhou Dasheng knew that the boss was really angry, so he immediately covered his mouth and hid behind Lao Wan.

Seeing that everyone had finally quieted down, Captain Dong continued his persuasion. "Madam Jiang, I know this sweet radish can't be used to make wine. But I know you have the ability to turn it into precious sugar."

"Master Qian Hu, don't you know that the sugar-making recipe of the Great Zhou is jointly controlled by the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works?"

"This thousand households know."

"Then please don't embarrass me, Master Qianhu."

"However, I think this method of making sugar is not difficult at all for Madam Jiang."

Jiang Yan was at her wit's end. She pointed to her head and turned over her hands before dejectedly saying to Captain Dong: "Master Captain, you see, I'm not a superhuman, so I'm not worthy of your important position."

Captain Dong looked at Scholar Guo and asked, "What should we do?"

Guo Xiucai shook his head. He had no other choice. However, he gave Captain Dong a meaningful look.

Captain Dong understood immediately and ordered, "Everyone, unload the things from the car first! As for what Madam Jiang does with these things, it's up to her to decide."

With years of tacit understanding, the group of men took action. Soon, several mule carts loaded with wild grapes and beets were piled into the Jiang family's yard.

Jiang Yan: You can't play it like that. A commander of a thousand soldiers, yet he's playing dirty? Where can she go to seek justice?

Captain Dong left with a few words before leaving: "Madam Jiang, I feel that the house in your yard is not enough. While it's still warm, how about building a few more east and west wing rooms for you?"

Jiang Yan: This is possible.

Seeing Madam Jiang's intention, Captain Dong immediately continued, "How about having Captain Ye bring people over tomorrow? What do you think, Madam Jiang?"

Jiang Yan: Can she refuse?

Seeing that Madam Jiang didn't reply, Captain Dong said to himself, "Since Madam Jiang has no objection, I will make the decision for Madam Jiang. Tomorrow, I will have Captain Ye and the others come over to help Madam Jiang build the wing room."

Jiang Yan wanted to refuse, but before she could open her mouth, she saw Captain Dong already mounted his horse and walked away with his men in a hurry.

Jiang Yan: "Oh my god! And he brought such a scoundrel with him. This is the first time I've seen him like that."

Ye Zhan heard his wife's nagging and asked with a smile: "Wife, when Captain Dong said he would help us build a wing room, I felt that you were also very tempted."

"Yeah. Now that we have so many children, these two rooms are really not enough."

"So people try to cater to their needs."

"Old fox. Humph! You said the wrong word. It should be vixen!!"

Hearing her own mother call Captain Dong a fox spirit, Yi Chen couldn't help but laugh. "Mom, this is the first time I've heard someone call such a big, strong man a fox spirit."

"Humph! He's not just an old fox, he's also a cunning old fox. I'm so angry that I call him a vixen."

"It's not easy for a leader to put his reputation aside and do this."

Jiang Yan: …

"Captain Dong is a real man. If he were someone with bad intentions or someone who takes human life lightly, someone would be killed right here."

"Yeah." Jiang Yan had to admit that Captain Dong was quite good.

At least he didn't try to trick her, nor did he use his power to pressure her.

Captain Dong led his men out of the Thirteen Banners, then asked Scholar Guo with a worried look on his face, "Old Guo, don't you think it's a bit unfair for us to just throw all those things to Madam Jiang?"

"What can we do if it's not authentic? Can we still pull those things back?"

"No, absolutely not."

"So this matter can only be left to the wise Madam Jiang to figure out a solution..."
