Jiang Sheng kept his promise and opened Jiuzhenfang branches in the surrounding cities.
First observe the environment to make sure that the people in the city have the spending power, and then visit the surrounding areas to find out whether the people have a simple character.
In today's world, it is difficult to travel by car and horse. If you want to open a sign to the southeast, northwest, you have to learn the method of leisurely living, take what is from the local area and use it in the local area.
Not only raw materials such as flour, but also long-term workers who can support the shop.
If the shopkeeper is the soul, the confidant sent from Fengjing, then the long-term worker is the support and the key to the operation of the shop and workshop.
There are many types of people, some are born lazy, greedy and slippery, and they will never let go of their true nature no matter how much money they give them.
If there are those who endure hardships and endure hardships, if you give them a helping hand, they will be able to break free from the mud and remain determined at the same time.
During this trip, Jiang Sheng brought Jiang San, Jiang Si, and Miao Zhaoying's mother and daughter, who were determined to follow him, to Luoyang County in person.
This was the first time she had run such a long distance alone. The moment she landed, she felt the wind was different, with a novel flavor.
"The wind can be different from south to north." Miao Zhaoying covered her mouth and smiled, "I think the girl has been bored in Fengjing for a long time and took the opportunity to come out to relax."
"Auntie, that's not right." Jiang Sheng shook his index finger and said righteously, "Smell carefully, there is really a fragrance in the wind."
Da Ya had already emerged from the ground and stood tall. She turned her head slightly to look for it, and finally saw a shop in front of her on the right. The name of the shop was simple and clear, with the words "Xu's family does not turn over soup" written on it.
There are young and strong men stirring the thick soup, and the alluring aroma is carried by the wind. It is not just a novel taste.
Jiang Sheng couldn't hold it any longer and ran over, pointed at the stacks of pancakes on the griddle and asked, "Boss, what is this?"
"This is mung bean noodles made without turning." The young junior raised his head, "Our Luoyang County specialty non-turning soup is made with many kinds of ingredients. Come and try a bowl, please?"
"Come on, five bowls." Jiang Sheng was so proud that he pressed the copper plate.
Jiang San and Jiang Si were still tying the carriage. Miao Zhaoying felt sorry for her employer and refused to let her serve the bowl.
Five portions of soup without stirring, one person would have to make three trips back and forth.
Da Ya was obedient and sensible. She took the initiative to take two bowls for her mother, but she refused to eat them.
The young man immediately put down the spoon and took the initiative to help pick it up, "It's better for me to take over for the girl. The soup is boiling and the calluses are not thick enough to bear it."
Da Ya shyly thanked her, but as soon as she said the words, three gingers and four monkeys came out behind her, cheering and picking up the soup bowl.
Maybe it was because it tasted delicious, maybe it was too fresh, Jiang Sheng drank it all, still not satisfied.
"Okay, girl, we have to visit the nearby villages. Don't delay opening the store." Miao Zhaoying persuaded with a smile, "Besides, I'm full now. What should I do if I encounter something more delicious?"
Jiang Sheng was convinced and waited for the others to finish eating and then wiped their mouths and stood up.
Passing by the door, the young man stirring the soup hesitated for a moment and asked aloud, "May I ask what your guests want to see in the village? Do you want to buy land? Or settle down?"
"None of them." Jiang Sheng said in a very serious tone, "I just came here to take a look."
"Then you go to the south of the city, my home is there." The young man continued to stir the soup, "If you are willing."
What's the point of being willing or not? Since we are just wandering around, we don't want to go anywhere.
Jiang Sheng immediately asked Jiang San to drive to the village in the south of the city.
Walking along the way, the folk customs can be called simple. The people are not afraid of outsiders and will return things they pick up. The adults chat with each other, the children run here and there, and the neighbors are quite harmonious.
However, no matter how good the place is, there are bad people, and no matter how harmonious the village is, there are also scolds.
Several people stopped in front of a house at the east end of the village, listening to the men's scolding, women's cries, children's wails, and the sound of broken items.
Miao Zhaoying endured it again and again, but she couldn't bear it anymore and signaled to Jiang San and Jiang Si, "Go kick him."
"Okay." The two boys, whose soles of their feet had been itching for a long time, immediately jumped up and kicked half of the wooden door open.
The crying inside suddenly stopped.
After a brief panic, the man walked out shirtless and saw several children and women. He immediately said fiercely, "Are you desperate for your life? You dare to kick my door. Can you afford to pay? Without a tael of silver, it is absolutely impossible." Don’t give up and pay for it!”
Jiang San spread his hands and said, "I don't need money, but my life."
"Good guy, Liu Ergou is the one who bullied others and bullied me." The man became furious and took out a hoe from behind the door, "If you don't pay me, you'll pay with your life."
He jumped forward.
Jiang San was ready to lift his feet, but he saw a woman with a bruised nose and face rushing over and stopped her, "The father of the child, you can't do anything, you can't."
But in the blink of an eye, she was pushed onto the water pole again, unable to move.
The little girl in the house, only about seven or eight years old, cried and protected her mother, "Don't hit my grandma, don't hit my grandma."
Why is a woman's life so miserable?
Miao Zhaoying wiped the corners of her eyes and signaled Jiang San and Jiang Si to rush forward, knock the cursing man to the ground, and cut off his uniform.
She stepped forward, took the woman's hand and asked, "Sister, why don't we get along? Why do we have to live on?"
On the basis of having children and making soup, everyone should have the respect and love of their spouse.
A marriage contract is a bondage, but not a shackles. Break it when it is time to break it.
"Sister." The woman was furious, "After the divorce, what should I do with my child? I can't bear to leave him behind, and I can't keep him alive. I can't selfishly drag my child to death..."
Miao Zhaoying burst into tears again. She held the woman tightly, as if she was holding her original self, or as if she was being held by Zhang Xianglian, or as if the former Zhang Xianglian was being held by Jiang Sheng.
"If I can provide you with a place to eat and live, will you dare to divorce?"
"If I can help you survive, would you like to break the shackles?"
The same tone, different voices, and similar words sounded in different time and space.
Jiang Sheng grinned and Daya sobbed softly.
After a long time, the woman finally responded, "Okay..."
As Miao Zhaoying responded.
As Zhang Xianglian responded.
Like countless women who have been bullied in marriage responded.
Sooner or later they have to stand up.
Liu Ergou was still cursing and clamoring to sue the officials, wanting to send these people to prison and beat them to death.
The woman suddenly panicked and was comforted by Miao Zhaoying.
Da Ya wiped away her tears and softly comforted her sister who was only seven or eight years old.
Jiang Sheng wandered to Liu Ergou and suddenly felt emotional.
I still remember that when we were trying to save the seedlings and recruit heroes, we still needed all kinds of tactics, deception and calculations, and even had to enter the yamen twice and change our slave status.
But now, she just bent down and kicked the man, and then said softly, "Go and sue, the prince is my brother."
