Zhou Lan looked at his brother-in-law like this and felt that he had learned something. A daughter-in-law prefers to be soft rather than tough, and she prefers well-behaved ones.
Zhou Lan found it a bit difficult to deal with this. He is a man, with a sky above his head. He is too well-behaved. Isn't that a bit unmanly? Should he learn from his brother-in-law? It's really hard to decide.
Well, my brother-in-law coaxed it, but my husband was not satisfied either.
The husband said to himself, "What a convenience I have given you. Why don't you invite me to come and have a look at the workshop? You just listen to your talk on paper."
But my husband would definitely not say it so bluntly. He is very subtle and tactful.
First of all, I expressed my different opinions on today's cuisine. The taste is different from the past.
Well, you have already gone to the workshop. How can the food at home taste the same as before?
Jiang Changxi: "Sir, when Dagui is sometimes busy, the kitchen master who stays in the house is also brought out by Dagui himself. He is very knowledgeable."
Then the husband came to make a big move: "Is Dagui so busy?"
He must be busy, pointing out his expensive craftsmanship. Aren't you used to expensive craftsmanship?
Jiang Changxi looked at her husband and felt as if she was being taken care of by him.
Zhou Lan calmly helped his daughter-in-law out of the situation: "The sauce made by Mr. Dagui is better. We used to eat it so often that we didn't even notice it."
Jiang Changxi: "Yes, especially soy sauce. The soy sauce made by Dagui is particularly bright in color when used for cooking."
For Mr. Junzi, who is far away from the kitchen, this topic is very new, and this object has never been heard of.
Now that he has seen something, these objects that he is unwilling to touch can actually be used by female disciples as a way to make money.
The husband nodded and exclaimed: "I'd like to see it if I have the chance." That means why you didn't invite me to Zhuangzi?
Jiang Changxi knew what euphemism was, but it was just a sentence, and the husband went around in such a big circle: "Let's go see it together next time Chang Le takes a rest."
The husband nodded again, finally satisfied. It would be great to have arranged this earlier.
I can't help but think in my heart, who said that a gentleman is far away from the kitchen? When a gentleman is short of money, it may be because he does not recognize these objects and lacks the way to make money.
So it is not unreasonable to live longer and see more.
When Mr. Chang Le was teaching Chang Le, he told his disciples that they should have a wide range of knowledge and knowledge, and should not limit their horizons too much.
Well, Mr. Da, after all, Confucius said, I still can’t blatantly teach my disciples to listen to what I said.
Jiang Changxi had known for a long time that her husband was not a conservative person, and this time it was confirmed even more.
There are two very important facilities in Jiang Changxi's sauce workshop: heating and ice cellar.
Whether it's pickles, soy sauce, or yellow sauce, there is always a time when temperature is needed.
Jiang Changxi had considered the heating facilities when he first built the house. Flues were laid in the workshops. Burning more firewood in the winter would make the village self-sufficient, so it wouldn't matter.
Jiang Changxi had to dig the ice cellar before winter. When winter comes, the ice cellar can be retrieved.
When the teacher teaches two disciples every day, he will take out the things that the female disciple has done and discuss them with the two male disciples. In summary, the female disciple is proficient in general affairs and has long-term plans.
Everything you do is worthy of discussion among the disciples, and it is very malleable.
People live their lives according to one step at a time. Even my husband thinks that the lives of female disciples are quite planned.
Zhou Lan also discovered that his husband did not supervise them at all about studying. Whether it was Zhou Lan or Chang Le, it was all about the progress of the college and the school. The most his teacher talked to them now was about extracurricular topics.
What he said was very complicated, but it was extremely practical for them.
No matter how busy Jiang Changxi is, she is still willing to listen as long as her husband is in class. Especially when her husband talks about the genealogy of aristocratic families, Jiang Changxi listens very carefully.
The ancients said that a master is both a master and a father. In the past, Jiang Changxi did not understand it, but after seeing how Mr. Wenzhai treated his disciples and taught them, Jiang Changxi really understood.
Disciples these days really can't be recruited randomly, it takes too much effort.
What I want to say is that Master Jiang San’s wish to teach at Fucheng Academy has been settled.
Moreover, the teaching conditions at the college are quite generous. If you want to continue teaching for one year, you need to negotiate.
Master Jiang San said that he loves traveling and is afraid that he will not stay in one place for long.
Master Jiang San's knowledge is also highly respected in Baoding Prefecture. Hearing that Master Jiang San's reputation was known, many more scholars came to Baoding Prefecture to study.
Seeing Mr. Jiang San's high spirits, Jiang Changxi didn't want to attack him.
Jiang Changxi said to himself, if you really want to take your uncle to study, then just come over and open a small stove. Why bother?
But Mr. Jiang San doesn’t want to go to the college to teach. Mr. Jiang San said, this is different.
Jiang Changxi didn't know what the difference was.
For Zhou Lan, having such an old father-in-law at school is not a convenience.
The academic teachers who are not teaching are very strict with him. Firstly, they are afraid that the students will say that the gentlemen are showing favoritism, and secondly, they really want to give Mr. Jiang San face.
I have been teaching here for a year just because of my uncle. How could I not urge Zhou Lan to study hard?
So having such an old Yue Chang in the college and Zhou Lan in the college is really hard, very hard.
The result was that Jiang Changxi went to Zhuangzi every day and came back as busy as a dog, and Zhou Lan got up early and came home late every day as busy as a broken dog.
Now who is talking to Zhou Lan about holding hands, consummating the marriage, and the relationship between husband and wife? I'm sorry, I don't have time to think about it. The homework assigned by the gentlemen seems to be endless, and it is piled on their desks one after another.
Even the time I spent writing with my brother-in-law every day turned into practicing calligraphy and writing articles at the same time.
Just like that, for every provincial examination question in Zhou Mansion, the husband took turns asking Zhou Lan to practice. Zhou Lan didn't even have time to cry, let alone miss holding hands with his wife.
If he couldn't handle the pressure, he would probably lie in bed and cry every night. He was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.
But I can see my daughter-in-law working hard and paying for her dream of a large manor. She pulls the beads on the abacus every day, calculates profits, calculates costs, arranges manpower in the workshop, and arranges winter decorations.
Zhou Lan felt why he didn't work hard and what conditions allowed him not to work hard. How could he not be as good as a girl?
So when I feel too sleepy and can't read anymore, I go to the door of the house and listen to the girls talking about what my wife did during the day, and I listen to the sound of my daughter-in-law pulling the beads on the abacus, and I get motivated.
