Border Cook

Although this dried rabbit meat tastes good, it is best used for grinding teeth on a daily basis.

But also because rabbit meat is originally lean meat, and it moves a lot on a daily basis, the meat is firmer than the pork, chicken and other meats we usually eat, so the jerky made from it is more chewy.

In this way, the dried rabbit meat can not only grind teeth, but also easily get stuck in teeth.

Therefore, even though the rabbit meat jerky made by Xia Mingyue was very spicy and many people felt it was worth it even if they only took a few bites, they were still frightened by the fact that the rabbit meat got stuck in their teeth and had to step back, leaving a lot of the spicy rabbit meat jerky.

On ordinary days, only the "Megalodon" master and apprentice Yin Lingyou and Mao Sanli, and Fan Jinglan who could eat everything, would ask for some food from time to time.

Now seeing that Fan Jinglan wanted it so badly, Xia Mingyue was naturally generous and packed all the remaining spicy rabbit jerky for Fan Jinglan.

In case Fan Jinglan felt that the dried meat was not enough, they asked people to find a lot of chicken breasts and chicken legs, which were marinated and roasted into a spicy flavor, and asked Fan Jinglan to take them along.

As for Fan Jinglan, she has also been collecting some local specialties in Jinqiu County over the past two days, planning to bring them back with her.

All these things, together with the food Xia Mingyue gave her, filled up two carriages!

As a result, Fan Jinglan had to add an extra carriage and more manpower.

As the departure day drew closer, Ying'er packed her things every day to make sure nothing was forgotten.

Fan Jinglan glanced at her and said, "Just pack two sets of clothes for changing. You don't need to bring the rest. Otherwise, when you come back next year, you will have to bring everything back with you, which will be very troublesome."

what?
Ying'er was stunned.

Does my lady mean that she plans to come back next year?
Seeing Ying'er looking a little dazed, Fan Jinglan squinted her eyes and asked, "Don't you want to come back?"

"I do, I do!" Ying'er nodded hurriedly.

Although this place is not as prosperous as the capital and many things need to be done by myself, it is so comfortable to be able to taste the delicious food made by Madam Xia with the young lady every day.

If possible, Ying'er would certainly follow the young lady back without hesitation!

"That's it." Fan Jinglan narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Just pack some clothes for the journey."

"Yes!" Ying'er responded happily and continued to pack her things.

Without having to pack too many things, there was immediately less to do. Apart from personal belongings and clothes for a change, Ying'er focused on distributing food that Xia Mingyue would give to Fan Jinglan.

Which ones were to be eaten at any time and placed in the carriage they were riding in, which ones were to be placed in the carriage for transporting goods and eaten later, and which ones were to be taken back to honor their elders...

Ying'er was busy here, and Fan Jinglan was not idle either. She started to pack up the small things she carried with her.

When she looked up and saw the net made of hemp rope hanging on the wall, Fan Jinglan hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out to take the net down, rubbed it in her hand for a long time, and put it in the box.

The weather was getting colder, and New Year's Eve was getting closer. The county town was gradually becoming lively, just like in previous years.

There was a good harvest in autumn this year, and the people had plenty of money and grain. They wanted to celebrate the new year with great enthusiasm, so it was inevitable that they would spend more money when buying new year's goods.

Basket after basket, cart after cart, basket after basket...

People on the street, those buying New Year's goods are in high spirits, and those selling them are even more smiling. Looking around, the smiling faces all over the city are like flowers, which is even more beautiful than when the flowers are in full bloom in spring.

There were many people on the street, Xia Ji snack stall was bustling, and Buyunlou's business was also becoming more and more prosperous, setting new records in recent days. Those who had joined Xia Ji food stall were very happy. Shopkeeper Ge was overjoyed and started to take stock of this year's profits early, preparing to send them to the owner as soon as possible.

Although silver bills are convenient to carry and easy to store, they do not have the same visual impact as real gold and silver. After much thought, Shopkeeper Ge decided to exchange all his earnings for silver ingots weighing ten taels each, and stack them neatly in a box to send out.

Just as Manager Ge was looking at the account book, fiddling with the abacus beads, and checking the amount of silver in the box, Wu Xiong arrived.

"You came just in time. I was just about to ask someone to call you over." Shopkeeper Ge greeted Wu Xiong with a smile, "I need to send the money earned this year to the master. I don't feel comfortable letting anyone else go, so you have to make the trip."

"Okay, no problem." Wu Xiong agreed very straightforwardly, and then scratched the back of his head, "But I also want to discuss something with the shopkeeper."

"What's the matter?" Shopkeeper Ge stopped counting the beads on the abacus.

"I'm thinking that after I finish this trip for the shopkeeper, I won't work for Shopkeeper Ge after the New Year..." Wu Xiong said hesitantly.

Shopkeeper Ge was very surprised. "Why do you decide not to work for me anymore? Tell me in detail what's going on?"

"I have been following the shopkeeper for so many years, and he has treated me very well. I shouldn't have said this, but I have been following him all the time, so I have to stay in Jinqiu County. Madam Jiang is in Changzhou Prefecture and can't get away either. It doesn't make sense for these two to be separated all the time."

Wu Xiong explained, "I discussed it with my mother and thought that we should move to Changzhou City, closer to Madam Jiang. This way, she can be at ease working in Changzhou City, and our marriage can be put on the agenda earlier."

Yes, it was indeed for Madam Jiang.

Shopkeeper Ge had an expected sudden realization, but he also joked, "When other people get married, most of the time the husband follows the wife, but in your case, it's the wife who follows the husband. It's really rare."

"You can't say that. It depends on the specific situation. My mother said that Madam Jiang is busy and hard-working, and she is capable and has her own ideas. If Madam Jiang is asked to stay at home to do laundry, cooking and raising children after getting married, it would be unfair to her."

"My mother also said that as a man, you have to show some courage, give in when necessary, and accommodate when necessary. This is what a man should do."

"Yes, my mother also said that she had lived in Jinqiu County for so many years and found it boring, so she wanted to settle down in Changzhou Prefecture."

"Yes, yes, my mother..."

Shopkeeper Ge: "..."

Is this what your mother said or what you wanted to say?
For the sake of his wife, he really doesn't care about anything!
Shopkeeper Ge shook his head in annoyance and asked, "It's easy to buy a house in Changzhou City, but you have to do something when you get there, otherwise you will just be eating your wife's food." (End of this chapter)
