Chapter 649: It's not called stinginess, it's call

p watch.It wasn't that the villagers were stingy, after all, they ate with open stomachs. Three or five per person would be enough to fill everyone up.I'm afraid of both eating and causing trouble at...Bao Lei listened intently, her face full of sympathy, occasionally agreeing with a word or two, and the Third Princess became even more convinced that she was a confidante.

"Lei Lei, you are so kind! How come I've never noticed how understanding you are before You must come visit me more often in the future!" The Third Princess issued an invitation, wishing Lei Lei would come every day.

Bao Lei just waited for her words, when she readily agreed, "Of course! As long as the princess doesn't find me troublesome, I'll come every day and tell the princess about fresh things outside the palace. I'll also bring something good to cheer you up!"

Jiayin didn't know that the Princess Mansion still regarded Baiyun Guan as a piece of fat and was eyeing it covetously.

But even knowing that, it wouldn't be so bad that I couldn't eat or sleep.

It is not good to be unassuming; it is the mark of mediocrity!

When business is good, things like this are bound to happen.

And this is just the beginning, her first taste of things to come.

In a few years, she will have even more lucrative businesses and wealth. Then, there will be even more people who envy her!

Now, take this opportunity to practice. Use these people as a whetstone and it won't hurt.

Ercun's noodle shop has been open for a long time.

From the initial chaos and various problems, to the current state of ease and proficiency, the wounded soldiers have put in a lot of hard work and patience.

The instant noodles named "hero" are selling better and better!

New 都 is now the heart of the entire Tianwu and the center of the Jiangnan region.

The water and land transportation in Jiangnan was very well-developed, making travel very convenient. Therefore, there were many caravans traveling to and from various places.

When you're out and about, eating can be a big issue.

Some people carried provisions, some went to towns specifically to find lodging, but no matter which way they chose, when changes came suddenly and plans were disrupted, they inevitably had to sleep outdoors and cook their own food.

At this time, "hero" instant noodles became a good thing.

Bring a pot of water to boil, open the sealed bamboo tube and pour in the dried noodles. In less than half an hour, you can cook a big bowl of plain boiled noodles, enough to fill three people's stomachs.

If you have plenty of money, buy the kind of bamboo tube that sticks out half a section more.

One end is filled with dried noodles, and the other can pour out a bowl of meat sauce.

There are many kinds of meat sauce, such as onion pork sauce, mushroom pork sauce, and egg chili sauce.

At first, the bamboo tubes would also have markings engraved on them to tell what kind of sauce was inside.

But once there was a mix-up at the workshop, and a batch of unmarked noodles with sauce was produced.

As a result, the buyers came back the next day and bought even more, making repeat purchases.

Upon closer questioning, the buyers admitted they had no idea what it was. They were only surprised when the results came out...

When Jia Yin found out, she immediately canceled all the tags.

But noodles with sauce are not made often because they spoil easily.

Here in Tianwu, there's no tempered glass, so it can't be sealed. If a customer gets food poisoning, we'd have to smash the sign...

The wounded soldiers were originally worried that the noodles they made wouldn't sell.

Unexpectedly, business is booming, everyone is excited beyond words.

I wish I could sleep for only two hours a day and still have plenty of energy, not feeling tired at all.

The village also tried its best to help with the publicity.

When visiting Wang Zhuang and Dahui Shù Village, the customary gift is also two tubes of hanging noodles, replacing pastries or similar treats.

Slowly, the "hero" instant noodles became popular. Because they were made by veterans, because they were convenient, and because they tasted good, their sales soared.

There is a gradual shortage of supply now.

Xiaocui took charge and invited the women from Ercun to join in. As a result, the output increased significantly.

When Jia Yin had nothing to do, she would go for a stroll around the workshop and Ercun village.

After going home, she usually goes into the glass greenhouse and tinkers with those fruit tree saplings that she moved down from the south.

Love in this world is always mutual.

She was very caring towards her several older brothers, and they were also very loving to her.

Last time, Brother Jiayì brought back a whole boatload of fruit tree saplings and medicinal herb saplings.

It's easy to say, but searching for it, moving it, and taking care of it along the way is really laborious.

And to ensure the survival rate, fruit and medicinal plant saplings were all shipped with their roots intact. This made the ship heavy and led to it being mistaken for carrying valuable goods, resulting in an ambush on the road. Jiayì, Jiāxǐ, and Jiā'ān narrowly escaped injury.

These things, the brothers didn't say, but Jia Yin knew.

Therefore, she cherished these saplings and medicinal herb seedlings very much.

The weather isn't very cold today, and the temperature in the glass greenhouse is enough for these seedlings to survive.

When it got cold, she would put them away in the space.

Old Mrs. Li came from the front yard and as soon as she stepped into the warm room, she felt a warmth like spring. She couldn't help but say: "This transparent glass is really good. It's about to snow, but here it's even warmer than spring."

Jia Yin tossed the shovel aside and ran over to help her grandmother sit down.

Over on the other side of the greenhouse, Shui Ling, who was watering the plants, also hurried over and handed a handkerchief to the young lady to wipe her hands.

The little fox jumped down from a flower stand and nestled in the old woman's arms, wagging its bushy tail playfully.

Lao Li smiled and stroked its fur, saying, “In winter, if it’s a windy day outside, we can still enjoy flowers and fruits here. It’s truly a life like that of the immortals!”

"Alright, Grandma, in the winter, you come over every day to sew and take naps. Let's just be lively immortals!" Jia Yin coaxed her grandmother and then ran off to wash a bunch of grapes to share with her grandmother.

Grandmother Li brushed her granddaughter's messy hair and said, "Your second uncle just came back. I chatted with him for a bit. In another month, it will be the Emperor's birthday, his Wan Shou Jie (10,000 Year Birthday Celebration). Your second uncle said that he wants the elderly and children at the Relief Bureau to write one thousand characters of '壽' (longevity) as his birthday gift."

"This is good," Jiayin couldn't help but smile. "Not only is the meaning good, but it doesn't cost much silver either. It's truly worthy of my second uncle!"

Li Laotai found it amusing and playfully glared at her granddaughter, "Are you saying your second uncle is stingy Just wait until I see him, I'll complain to him!"

“Oh, Grandma, I was truly praising Uncle Second. Gold, silver, and jewels are all so common! The gift Uncle Second gave is a reflection of the people's gratitude towards the Emperor and showcases his benevolence. Others might want to give something similar, but they don't have the ability!” Jia Yin explained with a giggle.

Of course she couldn't admit it!

Having said that, she added, "When the time comes, I'll let you know when you are ill. You'd better not go to the palace then! I'll just go with my second uncle and my godfather!"

Li Lao Tai nodded. "I don't like going to the palace either. The rituals are too complicated, and if I say something wrong, my whole family might suffer. I'm just a simple old farmer woman with little wit. It's best for me to avoid it!"

When you have some free time, also think about what kind of birthday present to give. The Emperor takes good care of you, so if you can make him happy, go ahead and do it. But don't be too flashy, our family doesn't need to draw attention to itself!

"Understood, Grandma," Jiayin nodded obediently. She knew her grandmother was afraid she would be targeted again, just like the last time she entered the palace and was locked in a dark room.

She threw a grape, teasing the little fox to jump up and catch it. The fox misjudged and almost knocked over two flower pots.

This gave her an idea, “Grandma, I know what to get you for your birthday!”

Three more updates are here. Some residential areas have already started closing down, and Huahua just grabbed another wave of vegetables and fruits, so she's a little late. Hugs to everyone, keep going! Thanks for understanding, my treasures! Everyone stay safe and healthy, take good care of yourselves!erving a monarch is like walking with a tiger". At this moment, they all responded in unison, "Your Majesty is wise, we will obey your arrangements."A hint of satisfaction flashed in the emperor's eye...
