Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Jiang's mother got furious whenever she mentioned this, slapping the dough in her mouth. "Next time he dares to talk nonsense, I'll rip his mouth off. Just because your father is gone, does he think there's no man in our family to bully? I think he should be beaten up!"

In fact, Zhou Ying's friends informed the man surnamed Cao about this matter just two days after he started talking about it. Jiang Shangxian immediately took a bone-chopping knife and took his three apprentices to the kitchen to find trouble.

The gossip about her and Cui Bian's relationship was fine, because they were just a couple, who wouldn't? But what about Zhao Shan and Li Xueyan? Zhao Shan had eaten a lot, but maybe he was just too straight, so he just pooped it all out. He still looked so skinny, and she didn't like skinny chickens!

When you're in a relationship, you need to find someone who feels good and strong! (This is important, sisters, remember that a man should not only be able to make money, but also be useful.)

Seeing that she came to his house so quickly, the man surnamed Cao rolled his eyes and tried to deny it. Jiang Shangxian did not ask anyone to confront him. This was not a government office, and they needed evidence to do things. She just came to cause trouble!

The three disciples held down the man surnamed Cao, and she rushed forward and kicked and vented her anger. When Manager Wang ran over, the fight was already over - it was not a deep hatred, so a beating was enough to settle the matter.

Of course, Shopkeeper Wang couldn't let Jiang Shangxian leave because of this. He was very attentive to Jiang Shangxian now, and was afraid that if she was unhappy, she would go to another restaurant. What would happen to his family?

He then used a gentle tone and winked at Wang Wan to coax Jiang Shangxian away, and then went to comfort Master Cao who was crying and shouting after being beaten.

How rude! The masters before him would at most argue with him, never fight him directly! ?

In short, after this incident, Jiang Shangxian's image in Lexianlou was refreshed. It turned out that she had always been a gentle young lady with excellent cooking skills. After this incident, she transformed into the female overlord of Lexianlou.

Jiang Shangxian picked up a piece of evenly-mixed pork belly and placed it in a wooden basin. He grabbed two handfuls of the fried salt and spread it evenly on the top before putting it in the jar. "Next time, if he dares to say that again, I'll give him a good beating!"

The man surnamed Cao has been very well behaved recently. When he saw her, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He didn't even dare to look at her for a second. This made her wonder if she had hit him too hard that day. That shouldn't have happened. She didn't kill him.

In the past few months, she has been walking so much to and from get off work every day, and cooking, so her leg and wrist strength has increased a lot, especially her right hand. When she takes a shower, she feels that her right biceps is a little bigger than the left.

Because Jiang's mother interrupted her several times, Jiang Shangxian packed the meat and put it in the jar. After sealing it, she hadn't finished making the dough. When Jiang Wangri came hurriedly to get the noodles, she was still doing the final finishing work.

Jiang Shangxian washed her hands and walked into Jiang's mother's room. She crawled under the bed and pulled out a large wooden box. It was a bit big and she was a little troubled. It was not easy to hide such a big box.

(Banks during the Tang Dynasty were called "Guifang," specializing in the storage and lending of coins and valuables. They appeared in the early Kaiyuan period, in 713 AD, and were the earliest prototypes of banks at the time. Prior to this, the Tang Dynasty only had "didian," which was a place where goods were stored and sold.)

"Sister, what are you doing..." Jiang Wangri was waiting for the dough in the yard while moving the cypress branches to the side. Jiang's mother had a lot of things to do in the morning, and the cypress branches she sent were still piled in the middle.

Jiang Shangxian glanced at the kitchen door, which was still closed. He quickly waved at him and walked towards his room.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

Jiang Wangri followed her into her room. Seeing that there was no firewood in the hearth, he lifted the curtain, went outside, and brought in some firewood. He then threw in some pine resin, took out a flint, and lit some hay. The hay landed accurately on the pine resin. He then looked up at Jiang Shangxian, who was wandering around the room. "Sister, why didn't you call me when the hearth went out? It's cold outside. Even if you're at home today, the hearth can't go out. Otherwise, I'll get sick and it'll be terrible."

Jiang Shangxian walked around the room several times but couldn't find any place he liked. The room was too small and there was not much furniture. The only place to hide things was under the bed. But if he put things under the bed, Jiang's mother would come in and look for them, and she would definitely find them immediately.

"Erlang, let me tell you, that Zhou Sanniang wanted to cheat our family out of money. I can't convince my mother. Look, this is what I found when I went to my mother's house just now." She raised the wooden box in her hand to show Jiang Wangri.

The younger brother had also seen this wooden box. He covered his mouth in shock and whispered, "Sister, this, isn't this where Mother hid her money? How can you be so bold? If we get caught, Mother will definitely beat you!"

"So tell me, is it better for us to hide this money, or for Zhou Sanniang to cheat it away? Let me make it clear first, the money in there is all our hard-earned money, and I can't bear to give it to others." Jiang Shangxian held the wooden box and looked up at the beams.

Most of the houses in Chang'an were wooden structures, with thick triangular beams. She squinted her eyes and gestured, thinking it should be no problem: "Come and help me move this table over here."

Jiang Wangri glanced at the door with a guilty conscience, then tiptoed to lift the table, trying not to make too much noise. If Jiang's mother caught them red-handed at this moment, he guaranteed that the two siblings would be beaten to death!

"Sister, the beams in this room are too high, so this table isn't big enough."

The tables were very low at that time. Jiang Shangxian stepped on them and tried to raise his feet, but he couldn't reach them. Just then, Jiang's mother's voice came from outside: "Erlang! The dough is ready!"

The brother and sister's expressions changed instantly, and Jiang Wangri panicked: "Sister, what should we do?!"

Jiang Shangxian was also panicked, her mother's grip was quite strong!

"Come on, come up here quickly and hold the box!"

Jiang Shangxian made a prompt decision, moved a stool to the table, and quickly stepped on it. Jiang Wangri obediently picked up the wooden box, looked up, and said helplessly: "Sister, I still can't reach it."

"Come, I'll hold you and you let go!" It's time to show off your arm strength!

But Jiang Wangri was a little embarrassed and was too coy to let her hold him. He was almost eleven years old, how could he still ask his sister to hold him? If others knew about this, he would definitely be laughed at.

Outside, Jiang's mother called out several times but no one answered. She had already walked out of the kitchen: "Erlang! Erlang? Where did you go?! Nian Nu! Nian Nu! Where is your brother?!"

Jiang Shangxian's armpit hair was almost standing on end. He slapped his brother on the head, and while he was stunned, he squatted down and picked him up from his knees. Jiang Wangri was hugged so hard that his upper body shook involuntarily. He almost cried out, but he almost held it back.

His face flushed red, and he was nervous and shy as he forced himself to put the wooden box up.

"Have you put it away? Hurry up!" Jiang Shangxian urged repeatedly.

"All right!"
