She had been wandering since she was a child, and her head was as hard as iron. She didn't feel anything when she fell on it, but the person who was hit groaned softly.
"Ouch...is this a stone?"
Jiang Sheng raised his head in confusion and saw a young face with eyebrows flying into his temples. He seemed vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.
On the other hand, Shopkeeper Hao from upstairs ran over in surprise, with a worried look on his face, "Sir, are you okay?"
Jiang Sheng subconsciously remembered who the person in front of him was.
The only son of the Jiang family who could be so respected by the shopkeeper of Youranju was probably the only son of the Jiang family. She had seen him twice in Xieyang County when she was seven years old, so no wonder she felt familiar.
"I'm fine, I'm fine." The young man rubbed his chest, his eyes fell on Jiang Sheng, with some memories, "You little girl, I seem to have seen you somewhere before."
Jiang Sheng was a little embarrassed to talk.
But shopkeeper Hao remembered that she was Zheng Ruqian's sister, and helped explain with a smile, "Miss Jiang and Xiao Zheng are both from Xieyang County, and they have been delivering goods to two Youranjus."
Jiang Chengyuan suddenly realized, "I remembered, I met you in Xieyang County. It turns out that your surname is Jiang, and you are destined to be with me."
"No, sir." Jiang Sheng shook his head, "My surname is not Jiang from Jiang Shui, my surname is Jiang, from Jiang Sheng."
Jiang Sheng couldn't remember who gave her this name. She only knew that she was named Jiang because she secretly ate a piece of ginger. It was so spicy that she vomited, but she couldn't bear to throw it away. She could only take a bite and drink some water. , take another bite and drink some water.
Although ginger is unpalatable, it can keep out the cold and help people who are on the verge of freezing to death gradually relax. Therefore, Jiang Sheng is willing to be named Jiang and to be a girl just like ginger.
"It turns out I don't have the same surname." Jiang Chengyuan regretted, "You came here in a hurry this time, but you have something to do?"
Jiang Sheng then remembered the cured meat on the carriage and patted his little head, "I'm here to deliver the goods."
After saying this, he greeted his familiar second brother, "Brother Shunzi, carry the goods."
Shunzi shouted, rushed to the carriage, and expertly carried out the cured fish, bacon and sausages.
Jiang Sheng also went over to help lift the curtain and struggled to pick up a pack of fish pieces.
"These brothers and sisters are very smart. At first they just delivered food, then they made bacon, and now they make sausages and fish. The flavor is unique in the entire Anshui County. Many people come to Youranju just for this taste. Cured meat." Shopkeeper Hao stroked his beard and praised from the bottom of his heart, "Give them a little more time, it's amazing."
Jiang Chengyuan looked at Jiang Sheng, who was not much taller than the carriage shaft, with a face full of surprise.
This little girl is about the same age as her younger sister. Cheng Huan was still at odds with his parents because of his status, but the little girl has already started doing business to make money, and has even moved from Xieyang County to Anshui County step by step.
At this time, Jiang Sheng walked to the door of Youranju holding the fish nugget bag.
Because he was not strong enough, the fish nugget bag slipped slightly from his arms and was about to fall to the ground.
When Jiang Sheng was anxious, he lay down directly on the ground and caught the fish nugget bag with his body.
Jiang Chengyuan was so shocked that he went over to pick up the package, threw it to his younger brother, and at the same time pulled Jiang Sheng up from the ground.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang." Jiang Sheng scratched his head, feeling particularly embarrassed.
She has been embarrassed here several times.
"Why would you rather fall than catch the package?" Jiang Chengyuan didn't understand. "If it falls on the ground, just let it fall. Can't you just pick it up?"
"That's not possible." Jiang Sheng explained seriously, "The fish pieces themselves are delicate, so if you drop them on the ground, they won't taste good. Besides, they are food, so if they drop on the ground, it won't be good for guests to see them."
So she would rather fall and catch it with her body than let the fish pieces touch the ground.
Jiang Chengyuan couldn't describe what he was feeling, he just felt that the emotions were complicated and beyond description in words.
Jiang Sheng ignored him and followed him to watch the weighing and wait for shopkeeper Hao to settle the bill.
The three hundred kilograms of cured meat passed the weighing without any problems, and the Hairpin Xiaoyuan workshop was as conscientious as ever.
With a smile on his face, Shopkeeper Hao calculated the entire amount with an abacus, removed the deposit he had previously paid, and finally handed over one hundred taels of silver to Jiang Sheng.
A total of five twenty-tael ingots were carried in the arms, and the bulging bags looked like they were hiding something.
Shopkeeper Hao couldn't help but laugh, and at Jiang Sheng's protest he exchanged it for a banknote.
The one hundred taels of silver notes were much easier to collect. He folded them and put them in his purse, and then put the small purse into the deepest part of his sleeve pocket. Jiang Sheng was finally satisfied and jumped up and left, "I'm leaving, Shopkeeper Hao, Brother Shunzi." I am leaving."
Passing by Jiang Chengyuan, she thought for a moment and waved her hand, "Mr. Jiang, Jiang Sheng is gone."
The little girl jumped onto the carriage like a rabbit, pulled the horse much taller than her, and wandered away.
Jiang Chengyuan realized later, "She even calls Shunzi brother, so how can she call me son."
"The eldest young master has no shortage of younger sisters, so he still cares about this." Shopkeeper Hao laughed, "Miss Jiang may be afraid of offending you."
I hope so.
Jiang Chengyuan took his eyes away from Jiang Sheng and fell on the newly arrived cured meat, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"Why did the eldest son come to Anshui County?" Shopkeeper Hao asked, stroking his beard, "Are you here to relax, or do you have important matters?"
Jiang Chengyuan's smile faded and his eyes gradually deepened.
Even if he relaxes, he won't be able to escape Anshui County.
The reason why he left Fengjing was to find his long-lost sister on his grandmother's orders.
But the world is so big, how can a child who has been missing for ten years be easily found?
What's more, what if you find it? Can you guarantee that the child will be willing to go back and will be able to integrate into the Jiang family?
Jiang Chengyuan felt depressed and couldn't disobey his grandmother, so he simply came to Anshui County, firstly because he was familiar with it, and secondly because the reputation of Youranju's cured meat in Anshui County had spread to Fengjing, which made him curious.
"Take some of these sausages, bacon, and fish." He pointed at the newly purchased cured meats, "I want to try them carefully to see what's so special about them."
Shopkeeper Hao laughed and went to ask the master to cook.
The next day.
The Gongyuan announced the exact time for the examination - starting from March 28, there will be one every three days, a total of three, and it will end on April 5.
The entire Hairpin Flower Courtyard quickly became busy, preparing bags, food, drinks, and toilets for Xu Mo.
While Jiang Sheng was cleaning up, he scolded Zheng Ruqian, "Second brother, you promised to come back early. You promised to get home before the elder brother's exam."
But as March 28th is approaching, there is not even a trace of Zheng Ruqian.
The little girl was angry and anxious. After packing her things, she stood on tiptoes and looked at the door of Hairpin Garden.
Finally, two thin monkey-like figures appeared in sight.
