After leaving Jinxiu Pavilion, Jiang Miao held the money in her pocket and looked satisfied. This was her first pot of gold in ancient times!
When she had money, she wanted to spend it, especially eating meat. She took out ten cents from her bag and bought a pound of meat. It had fat and thin streaks, and she seemed to have seen the fragrant but not greasy braised pork.
There were two pieces of pig meat next to the meat stall. The stall owner looked at Jiang Miao and sold her a piece of pig heart and liver for a penny, with two big bones attached to it.
Jiang Miao took it with a smile, and the stall owner shook his head secretly. This little daughter-in-law is probably stupid. Pig urine smells bad. Who would spend money to buy this thing.
Jiang Miaocai didn't care what the stall owner thought, pig offal was more delicious than meat when it was ready.
The midday sun was shining brightly, and she walked quickly home along the shade of the trees. Old Shen's family had almost finished their meal.
A two-pound fish, the tenderest part was given to Shen Yanqing, and the other parts were divided among several men. The women and children all had a bowl of fish soup. Fortunately, Jiang Miao put a lot of vegetables, and the vegetables were soaked in fish soup. It's also so delicious that it can be swallowed by the tongue.
Shen Erlang licked the bottom of the bowl clean and put it down when he saw that there was really no soup left.
"The fish cooked by my aunt is so delicious. I wish I could eat it every day!"
No one refuted it. When Father Shen was young, he went to a restaurant with the work leader. He dared to say that even the master chefs in the town could not match the craftsmanship of the third daughter-in-law. He smacked his lips. It would be better if he had another drink. , the gods do not change these days.
"Mom, I'm back!"
Mrs. Zhang was clearing away the dishes. When she saw her coming in, she pointed to the kitchen with her elbow.
"Your fish soup is in the pot!"
The pancakes Jiang Miao had eaten earlier had long been digested. She put down the basket and opened the lid of the pot. The hot air hit her face. Mrs. Zhang was afraid that the fish soup would get cold, so she used firewood to warm it. There were mostly radishes in the pot, but there was still a piece of fish hidden at the bottom.
Jiang Miao's mood was a little complicated. Shen had a large family, so she thought it would be good to have a sip of soup, but Mrs. Zhang not only was not afraid of spending firewood to warm her up, but also left a piece of meat for her.
"mother……"
Mrs. Zhang came in carrying a bowl and basin, and saw Jiang Miao's eyes. She had a tigerish look on her face and felt a little uncomfortable.
"You caught this fish, and you cooked it. You already have a share of it!"
The Wang family and the Xu family didn't eat much even though they were working and cooking. Jiang Miaoke knew why the two sisters-in-law were jealous. She, a cheap mother-in-law, was so obsessed with the third child that she even took advantage of her.
"Mom, you are so kind!" She finished the meat and soup, feeling warm and satisfied in her stomach.
She helped clean the pots and pans and took the basket, feeling a little uneasy inside.
"Mom, I bought a pound of meat from the town."
Mrs. Zhang stopped working and her face darkened.
"I just ate fish, so why are you buying meat again? Why did you spend so much money?"
She knew that this daughter-in-law was greedy, but no matter how greedy she was, she would not eat meat every day. The third daughter-in-law had not saved enough money to go to Beijing to take the exam, and she was afraid that the third daughter-in-law had grown up and the Shen family would not be able to keep her.
"Mom, my husband is studying too hard. I couldn't help it when I saw how happy he was eating the fish soup..."
Jiang Miao didn't need to say the rest, Mrs. Zhang also understood. The Shen family's food was always eaten by the third child first, but after all, the family was poor, and no matter how good the food was, it was just white flour, steamed buns, pickles and dumplings. The third daughter-in-law wanted to give it to her son. Bubu, as a mother, what can she say?
Jiang Miao felt relieved when she saw Mrs. Zhang's expression softening.
Although she was not afraid of Mrs. Zhang, if the Shen family dared to challenge her, she would just find an opportunity to leave. With her skills, she had no problem living well in ancient times, but she still had to have a good relationship with them in the Shen family.
"Mom, this is the money from selling the handkerchief." Jiang Miao counted ten coins and gave them to her, and Mrs. Zhang took them hesitantly.
"How come you still have money?" She knew the price of a handkerchief. Miaoya had paid ten cents before, so how could she still keep ten cents after buying meat this time?
"The shopkeeper saw that my embroidery was good, so he raised the price, and the money he earned was used to support my husband." Jiang Miao said with a smile, and her raised face looked like a little girl's pride.
"Then don't spend the money you earn frivolously next time. Save it all for the third child."
It's impossible for Jiang Miao to save money without spending it. Isn't she just making money to eat meat?
"Mom, how can you waste money on replenishing your husband's body? He is in good health so he can study easily. Also, my mother has lost weight, so she should also replenish her body."
"What am I going to do with my old bones that have half their feet in the ground?" Mrs. Zhang's mouth was still stiff, but her expression had softened.
"Bah, bah, bah, my mother will definitely live a long life. After you take good care of yourself, you can enjoy the blessings of your son and wife!"
Jiang Miao's words made Mrs. Zhang feel soft-hearted. The third daughter-in-law is good-looking and can make money. She loves the man and treats her well, and is more considerate than her daughter.
Mrs. Zhang now likes Jiang Miao everywhere she looks.
"You ran to the academy at noon, so don't do any work in the afternoon. Take a rest and embroider handkerchiefs in the house."
Cheap mother-in-law is asking her to be lazy. Jiang Miao blinked, the hero's thigh was not hugging her, and her mother-in-law's was stretched out.
"I know, Mom, I will go to the back mountain for a walk later to find some herbs."
Mrs. Zhang frowned, she didn't understand how Miao Ya knew about herbal medicine again.
"There are many insects and ants on the mountain, please ask Erlang to follow."
