Chapter 130: Brush up on Jiang Yi's favorability! (3-in-1 subscription required~)

I don't have to go to work today because I'm on sick leave.

Jiang Yi also slept in for a rare time and slept until he woke up naturally.

Because of her injured foot, she was too lazy to go downstairs to buy groceries.

Breakfast was just some simple millet porridge and an egg.

Paired with her homemade eight-treasure pickles, it is light and delicious.

"I pickled the eight-treasure pickles myself."

"If you like it, I'll pack some for you when we leave."

Wearing limited edition skin, chatting with former students and current students' parents in the living room.

Jiang Yi's pretty face flushed red with embarrassment, and her pearly white toes kept digging into the ground.

Who among my family members understands this? This is so embarrassing!
Jiang Tao smiled and said, "My parents also like to eat eight-treasure pickles, so I won't be polite to you."

"Well, Mr. Jiang, please have breakfast first. I'll go into the room and make the bed for my sister."

Jiang Tao also noticed Jiang Yi's embarrassment and took the initiative to find an excuse to give her time to change clothes.

After saying that, he turned around, picked up the bed set that he had thrown on the ground, and walked towards the master bedroom.

After seeing Jiang Tao come in, Jiang Yi patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he jumped on one leg, feeling very anxious, and jumped towards his bedroom.

As they jump, the fruits shake violently, as if they will fall off the branches at any time.

When Jiang Tao casually spread the four-piece set he bought on the bed and walked out of the bedroom.

Jiang Yi has changed her limited edition skin.

I changed into a set of ordinary home clothes that were ten times more conservative than before.

A simple orange sweater and a pair of yoga pants that make her legs look round and slender, and the same pair of pink slippers on her feet.

"Is the paving ready, Jiang Tao? When will your sister come over?"

When Jiang Yi saw Jiang Tao going out, she took the initiative to find topics to chat with him to break the silence.

"We originally agreed to come over in the next two days, but her plans have changed a bit, so we might have to wait another ten days or half a month."

"My sister is so unreliable."

When Jiang Tao brought out Jiang Bing as the scapegoat, Jiang Bing, who was hundreds of kilometers away, sneezed three times in succession.

"Oh."

Jiang Yi looked at Jiang Tao with a slightly embarrassed expression. In this way, did he charge him too much rent?
"Well, how about this, Jiang Tao, wait until your sister comes..."

Jiang Tao interrupted with a smile, "That's not necessary, Mr. Jiang. Just continue to follow the rental contract."

"You don't have to feel embarrassed or anything. This has nothing to do with you. It's my sister who is unreliable."

"By the way, you just said you would give me eight-treasure pickles. Do you still keep your word?"

Jiang Tao smiled and took the initiative to change the topic to eight-treasure pickles.

"Of course it counts. Wait a moment, I'll go get you some from the kitchen."

After Jiang Yi finished speaking, he used his right foot as the main step, lightly tapped the ground with his left foot, and limped towards the kitchen.

Jiang Tao frowned and asked, "Teacher Jiang, have you been to the hospital for your foot? What did the doctor say?"

"I didn't go to the hospital. I just had a slight sprain. I'll be fine after a day of rest at home."

"Do you have any medicinal wine for injuries or blood circulation-invigorating and blood stasis-removing medicine at home?"

"I don't think the problem is serious. It's fine if I don't take medicine."

As soon as Jiang Yi finished speaking, he heard the door outside open with a click, and then close with a click.

"Eh?"

She turned around and looked through the frosted glass of the kitchen towards the door and the living room. Jiang Tao, who had just been standing in the living room and talking to her, was gone.

"How come the person disappeared while we were chatting?"

Jiang Yi stood there with a puzzled look on his face. Was he still going to pretend to be making these eight-treasure pickles?

Forget it, just install some.

Give it to him another day when you have the chance, or ask him to come to your house to get it.

Jiang Yi took out a transparent glass bucket from a cupboard that was about the same size as a 10-liter bucket.

Inside the glass barrel was the eight-treasure pickles she had personally pickled a month ago.

Jiang Yi learned the skill of pickling eight-treasure pickles from her grandmother.

The pickled eight-treasure pickles are sour with a hint of sweetness, a slight spiciness and just the right amount of sauce aroma, and are especially delicious with rice.

Several of Jiang Yi's colleagues often ask her for eight-treasure pickles.

A full bucket, enough for Jiang Yi to eat for a whole year.

But with the help of a few colleagues, it took about three or four months to finish the work, and it needed to be pickled again.

Jiang Yi is not a stingy person.

She simply used a clean plastic box left over from when she packed her meals and filled it up for Jiang Tao and put it in the refrigerator.

After packing the eight-treasure pickles, Jiang Yi first cleaned up the dining table, and then washed the pots and dishes.

Finally, he wiped the kitchen clean with a rag and then tiptoed back to the living room.

When Jiang Yi was watering the succulents on the balcony, she suddenly heard the door open again.

Jiang Tao went back and forth with a bag in his hand.

"I went to the pharmacy outside the community and bought you a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao spray and blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine."

"Take it externally and use it internally, it will heal faster."

Jiang Tao walked up to Jiang Yi, who was standing on the balcony with a spray bottle in her hand, carrying the bag and handed the bag to her.

"So, you just went to..."

Jiang Yi looked at the bag of medicine in Jiang Tao's hand, then looked at him, and suddenly felt touched.

Jiang Tao smiled and said, "Our Xiaoxue likes you very much. I will miss you if I can't see you for a day, so get well soon."

"Thank you, Jiang Tao. I'll transfer the money these medicines cost to you."

As Jiang Yi spoke, she turned around and went to the bedroom to get her cell phone to transfer money to Jiang Tao.

"No need, Mr. Jiang. It didn't cost much in total. Let's not be so polite."

"From now on, our Xiaoxue will have to ask you to take more care of her."

"No, let's put things in perspective. I'm already very grateful that you can help me buy medicine, and I can't ask you to pay for it again."

"You really don't have to be so polite, Teacher Jiang. By the way, I have something else to do this morning. Where's my eight-treasure pickles?"

"It's in the refrigerator. Go get it yourself. I'll go get my phone."

As Jiang Yi spoke, she tiptoed into her bedroom.

Jiang Tao strode to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, took out the eight-treasure pickles, said to Jiang Yi that he was leaving, and really opened the door and left.

Ding Dong!

When the elevator door opened on the first floor, Jiang Tao also received a transfer of 500 yuan from Jiang Yi on WeChat.

It seems that she transferred the money for the fruit as well.

But Jiang Tao just took a look and didn't click to pay.

Wait for it to be automatically returned tomorrow!

Today he bought fruits and medicine for Jiang Yi, but it wasn't because he coveted her beauty.

Firstly, the two had known each other for many years, and seeing Jiang Yi injured, they couldn't just sit there and do nothing.

Secondly, Jiang Tao also wanted to take this opportunity to improve Jiang Yi's favorability.

It is also laying the groundwork for purchasing her secret recipe for eight-treasure pickles in the future.

Inside the house upstairs.

Jiang Yi sat on the sofa in the living room with a cell phone in her hand.

Looking at the shopping bag containing medicine on the coffee table, I felt a warm current flowing in my heart.

She had never felt this kind of care since her parents passed away.

Of course, the inquiries and requests from those boring suitors don’t count.

Seeing that Jiang Tao refused to accept his transfer, Jiang Yi did not ask any further questions.

She secretly remembered Jiang Tao's favor in her heart.

After going downstairs, Jiang Tao walked straight towards where he parked his car.

After returning to the car, he didn't rush to drive away immediately.

First, he opened the third piece of information about the fund held by Jiang Yi that was refreshed today and compared it carefully.

"Jinxin Quantitative Selected Hybrid A/C Fund..."

Soon, Jiang Tao found the name of this fund from Zfubao.

As a financial novice, Jiang Tao had no idea where to open an account offline or where to buy funds.

Buying on Zfubao may incur higher transaction fees, but it is more convenient and faster.

Jiang Tao had previously experienced fund-related financial products on Zfubao because of a financial red envelope of more than 20 yuan.

That time he bought a fund worth 200 yuan and left it gathering dust in his balance, and basically did not operate on it.

Since his capital is pitifully small, the fluctuations of this fund are basically between a few cents and a few dollars.

You can’t make much money, and you can’t lose much money either.

After more than a year of ups and downs, I finally didn't make enough money to buy a pack of cigarettes. I was just there to create atmosphere.

"Increase of 102% in the past year, net value 2.15066..."

Jiang Tao has limited financial management knowledge and actually doesn't understand the meaning behind these data.

But he had absolute confidence in the information provided by Brother Tongzi.

After hesitating for more than ten seconds, Jiang Tao decided to trust Brother Tongzi!

Click "Buy" and enter 200 million directly.

The ICBC savings card prompts that the deduction is successful and the purchase is successful.

But it will take another two days to confirm the specific shares.

"It's done!"

Last time I bought 20 yuan worth of funds for a 200 yuan financial management red envelope.

This time it doubled to 200 million.

Even though I knew that I had information from Brother Tongzi, I was sure that I wouldn't lose this time.

But I can’t help but feel a little nervous!
"When this market trend ends, I'll have to treat Jiang Yi to a meal to show my appreciation."

"When you sell it, remind her as well!"

After buying the fund, Jiang Tao looked at the box of eight-treasure pickles that he had casually placed on the center console.

Reaching out for the box and opening the lid, Jiang Tao pinched a small piece of cucumber with two fingers and put it in his mouth.

Crunch, crunch, crunch…

The crispy pickled cucumbers are fresh and delicious, and taste really good!

Jiang Tao has eaten a lot of eight-treasure pickles and salted vegetables, but this is the first time he has eaten something so delicious!

No wonder Brother Tongzi commented that the secret recipe in Jiang Yi’s hands has high commercial value!
It’s worthy of being an heirloom, it’s really something.

Then, in order to have a more comprehensive understanding of the product of Babao Pickles.

In the morning, Jiang Tao drove to four supermarkets.

I bought eight different brands of eight-treasure pickles again.

There are bags and loose ones.

At noon, Jiang Tao returned to his rented room in Xiaoshahe carrying his packed lunch and nine boxes of eight-treasure pickles.

The nine kinds of eight-treasure pickles were lined up and the tasting began.

The taste...

The eight kinds of eight-treasure pickles I bought later tasted similar and I couldn't feel any obvious difference.

But compared to the one Jiang Yi made herself, the difference is obvious. Jiang Yi's eight-treasure pickles have a much lighter taste.

While ensuring the taste, it does not have the strong sauce flavor of other eight-treasure pickles.

"I'm really looking forward to what the eight-treasure pickles made with Jiang Yi's craftsmanship and my pickle jar will taste like."

After tasting different brands of eight-treasure pickles, Jiang Tao became more confident in Jiang Yi's ancestral secret recipe.

The eight-treasure pickles in the supermarket are priced at around 9 yuan for the cheapest and 15 yuan for the most expensive.

The eight-treasure pickles pickled using Jiang Yi's secret recipe are priced at 15 yuan per pound, so it shouldn't be difficult to sell.

On this basis, the bonus of the pickle jar is added.

Theoretically speaking, selling it for 30 yuan per catty shouldn’t be too expensive, right?

A jar of eight-treasure pickles can pickle 500 kilograms, and the output value can reach 1.5 yuan.

[Delicious pickle jar] also has the effect of accelerating pickling.

If you can pickle two jars a month, that would be 2 yuan.

That’s more than 30 yuan in profit a year!

Even after deducting materials and labor, the final net profit is still over 100,000 yuan.

Even a small amount of money is still meat. Although you can't become rich, it's not bad to earn some pocket money.

Of course, Jiang Tao would definitely not sell pickles by himself.

The first thing he thought of was to hand over the business to his parents.

My parents work as laborers in the village all year round. The working hours are long and the labor intensity is high, which takes a great toll on their bodies.

Keep them in Beijing and open a small shop for them in the vegetable market next to the community.

Protected from wind and rain every day, running a small shop and selling eight-treasure pickles is also a business suitable for retirement.

Of course, these are still in the theoretical stage and need to be implemented as soon as possible.

After dinner, Jiang Tao went downstairs with 9 boxes of eight-treasure pickles.

I happened to meet Lu Qian and Ma Dongmei who were coming back from shopping.

Jiang Tao asked them to taste all the eight-treasure pickles he bought and choose the one they thought tasted the best.

As expected.

The one that Lu Qian and Ma Dongmei finally chose, which they thought tasted the best, was also the one that Jiang Yi pickled herself.

There are two more samples in the experimental data.

Jiang Tao planned to go home in the evening and ask Xu Li and his parents for their opinions to collect as many samples as possible.

……

In the afternoon, Jiang Tao was not in a hurry to go home.

He drove directly to the vicinity of Panjiayuan Antique Street.

First park the car in an open-air parking lot, and then walk to the antique street.

As usual, I would first stroll around the antique street for a while.

The purpose is naturally to increase the probability of triggering some information about antiques.

While strolling around, even though Jiang Tao saw a place that specialized in collecting stones, he was too lazy to go in.

Stroll around until about 3pm.

Jiang Tao felt that it was about time.

Only then did he find the shop of his old acquaintance Zhang Bo.

"Hey! Brother Jiang! Please sit down, please sit down. I'll pour you some tea!"

When Zhang Bo saw Jiang Tao, he invited him to sit down with a smile on his face and served him tea and water attentively. He was so polite.

"Zhang Bo, I got another stone from a friend. Would you like to take it?"

Jiang Tao didn't waste time talking to Zhang Bo.

He simply reached out and took out the potato-like Shoushan Tianhuang stone raw material from his pocket.

"Stones? Brother Jiang, you have quite a wide range of interests."

"But this time you really touched my blind spot."

"I really don't know much about stones."

When Zhang Bo saw the Shoushan Tianhuang stone raw materials that Jiang Tao casually took out of his pocket, he smiled and admitted that he didn't know much about it.

There's nothing to be embarrassed about.

The main business of their store does not include these strange stones.

Just when Jiang Tao thought he had to find another way, Zhang Bo added:
"But Brother Jiang, my dad understands this. I'll call him and let him take a look."

"Okay, go ahead and fight. If the price is right, I'll sell it to you. I'm too lazy to go to someone else's place to grind my teeth."

Jiang Tao smiled and nodded. He admired Zhang Bo's father, whom he had never met.

When others collect antiques, they would spend a long time examining them with a microscope, and do carbon 14 testing and so on. They are so cautious, afraid of making a mistake.

Zhang Bo's father doesn't even need to show up when people come.

No matter if it is worth tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions.

Just play the video and watch it and then you can collect it directly.

The saying "A man of great skill is bold" probably refers to people like Zhang Bo's father.

Jiang Tao learned this from a conversation with Zhang Bo.

His father was in his twenties and had just started working in the industry with his grandfather. He once drilled a hole in the goods and lost more than 100,000 yuan.

From then on, Zhang Bo's father learned from his mistakes and worked hard to catch up on his knowledge of various antiques and developed a pair of sharp eyes.

beep-

Zhang Bo's call was connected about ten seconds after he made it.

The picture flashed on the mobile phone screen, and a picture of Zhang Long wearing a military coat and a big cotton hat was shown fishing on the ice.

"Dad, Brother Jiang brought another stone today. Do you think we can take it?"

As Zhang Bo spoke, he pointed the camera of his mobile phone at the stone that Jiang Tao brought to show it.

"Oh! It's actually a piece of Shoushan Tianhuang stone with the original bark. It's quite big, enough to make a big seal."

The moment Zhang Long saw the stone, he immediately recognized its origin. His broad knowledge and unique vision were truly admirable.

"Son, give me a flashlight so I can see what's going on inside."

After hearing what his father said, Zhang Bo took out a high-intensity flashlight from the drawer on the coffee table and began to illuminate the piece of Shoushan Tianhuang stone raw material that Jiang Tao brought.

"It's pretty good. Xiao Jiang, you're listening here too, so I won't beat around the bush."

"The most I can give you is 18. If you think this is a good price, I'll take it."

"If you think it's not suitable, you can go to the market again."

"But I doubt you'll find a higher bid."

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Long verified the quality of the stone and gave his intended price.

"18 million..."

After listening to Zhang Long's words, Jiang Tao narrowed his eyes slightly, and the CPU in his mind was spinning rapidly, considering his own gains and losses.

Although the information provided by Brother Tongzi said that this piece of Shoushan Tianhuang stone raw material could be sold for a maximum of 19.

But as a retail investor, how could it be so easy to find a buyer who is willing to bid 19?

Although the price given by Zhang Bo's father was 1 lower than the price estimated by Brother Tongzi, it was not unacceptable.

Besides, if people open a business to do this kind of business, they will only do it if it is profitable.

"Okay! We're old acquaintances. Boss Zhang offered this price, so I'll naturally give you some face."

Jiang Tao also took advantage of the situation and agreed to Zhang Long's offer with a smile.

He picked up the things for free without spending a penny, so he would make as much money as he sold them, and there was no possibility of losing money.

Moreover, in essence, Jiang Tao is actually a bit lazy and doesn't want to spend too much time on a piece of stone.

Just sell it for 1 less and save yourself the trouble.

"Son, then you take over from Xiao Jiang. I've got a fish on the hook, so I'll hang it up first!"

Zhang Long on the other end of the phone spoke hurriedly and hung up.

It was as if they had just negotiated a small, insignificant business deal.

Indeed, for their family, a business worth 18 is not that big.

With Zhang Long's authorization, things became much simpler.

Zhang Bo first printed out two valuables transaction contracts.

After signing, he readily transferred 18 yuan to Jiang Tao, and the two parties successfully completed another transaction.

After the transaction was completed, Jiang Tao chatted with Zhang Bo for a few more minutes before getting up to say goodbye.

After leaving Zhang Bo’s store, I returned to the parking lot to pick up the car and went straight home!
Jiang Tao invited Lao Lu and Ma Dongmei to his house for dinner tonight.

He also greeted Xu Li and his parents in advance.

On the way home, Jiang Tao hummed a little tune all the way, and his mood was so beautiful.

Who would have thought that a stone picked up from the roadside could be sold for 18 yuan!
Moreover, Jiang Yi picked up the stone and then threw it away.

If she knew the value of this stone...

Forget it, I'd better not provoke her.

Spraining your ankle is already pitiful.

Let’s keep this as a little secret in our heart forever!
It was just 5 o'clock in the afternoon when Jiang Tao drove back to the downstairs of the community.

It was about two hours since he and Lu Qian had planned to have dinner together.

After parking the car, Jiang Tao took out his cell phone from his pocket, found Xu Li's number and dialed it, asking her to go downstairs to the supermarket to buy groceries together.

Less than three minutes after hanging up the phone, Xu Li rushed out of the corridor.

He stood at the door of the corridor and looked around. When he saw his car, he ran over with excitement.

Click~
Open the passenger door and get in.

Xu Li plopped down in her own exclusive passenger seat.

While fastening his seat belt, he looked at Jiang Tao and said with a smile:
"Honey, you've worked hard today."

"Cook a few more dishes tonight and reward our family's great contributor."

Jiang Tao didn't start the car immediately, but asked curiously:
"Hey, where's your daughter? Why didn't she come down with you?"

"She's upstairs having a video call with her homeroom teacher."

Xu Li smiled sweetly and said:

"I heard from your daughter's life teacher that your daughter cried because she didn't see their teacher Jiang at school today."

"I didn't have much of an appetite, and I ate half as much as usual."

"As soon as I got home, she pestered me to call their teacher Jiang."

"Hahaha, it seems like she gets along well with their teacher Jiang."

As Jiang Tao spoke, he started the car and drove out of the community.

"Isn't that also your teacher Jiang? You two are taught by the same teacher after so many years. It really is a coincidence."

Xu Li covered her mouth and chuckled, teasing Lao Jiang and said:

"Husband, tell me the truth, did you ever have any improper thoughts about your teacher Jiang when you were in school?"

"No, I was so obsessed with you at that time that I had no time to care about other women."

"Tsk, who's pestering you? It's you who's pestering me every day, okay? I can't get rid of you even if I try."

"Oh, yes, yes, it was me who pestered you. I remembered it wrongly."

"Have you really never liked your teacher Jiang? She's so pretty, has a great figure, and her bear is so big."

"Well, my dear, don't underestimate yourself. You are quite big among women."

As the couple chatted, the topic became a little inappropriate for children.
