Cui Hejin nodded and sat down to burn firewood.

His movements were slow and slow, even if he was just arranging the firewood on the stove, he looked noble and elegant.

Jiang Zhiluo opened her mouth, but she still didn't refuse.

After all the vegetables were cut and prepared, Cui Hejin saw that she was about to cook, so he lit firewood and started cooking.

Jiang Zhiluo always felt that sitting here with his temperament and lighting a fire felt like a waste of natural resources.

But now is not the time to pay attention to these things.

You really have to cook first.

Mrs. Cui watched her son help light the fire with a smile on her face.

After Jiang Zhiluo finished frying the vegetables, she also heated up the bowl of chicken stewed with mushrooms that she brought back yesterday.

Then the three of them washed their hands and sat down to eat.

Everyone's bowl is a bowl of steamed buns and stir-fried vegetables.

Mrs. Cui and Cui Hejin have never eaten like this.

But when I picked it up with my chopsticks and tasted it, it was indeed delicious.

Mrs. Cui felt that Zhi Luo seemed to have a talent in terms of taste, and could always make the food taste particularly good.

While eating, Mrs. Cui and Jiang Zhiluo discussed going to the village to collect beets in the afternoon.

Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said: "Well, mother, please collect more, and we will make more brown sugar in the afternoon."

"Use two pots together in the afternoon."

What Jiang Zhiluo wants to do is to make the dough after lunch so that she can make the steamed buns for the meat buns. At the same time, she also needs to braise the pig meat in the pot. After everything is done, the pot can be used to cook the brown sugar together.

Jiang Zhiluo was thinking and calculating in her mind, feeling that she was quite busy in the afternoon.

Originally, she wanted to go to the river to get some willow buds, but she probably didn't have much time.

After Mrs. Cui and Jiang Zhiluo finished discussing what they had to do in the afternoon, Cui Hejin put down her chopsticks after finishing her meal, and then she said leisurely: "I will go to the town school to give lectures from tomorrow, and I will have two taels of silver a month for household expenses.

"

As soon as Cui Hejin finished speaking, Mrs. Cui and Jiang Zhiluo stopped eating in their hands.

They looked at Cui Hejin in unison.

Mrs. Cui said: "You want to be a master?"

Two taels of silver a month is indeed a lot.

She also knew her son's knowledge, and it was indeed no problem to be a master.

Cui Hejin Qingrun replied: "Yeah."

Mrs. Cui's face changed. She knew that her son had no intention of returning to the capital, nor had he ever thought of taking the scientific examination.

In the past, he was the eldest son of the Duke's family. In order to inherit the family business and the title of eldest son, he did not need to take the place of others in the scientific examination, nor did he need to take the scientific examination to prove his knowledge.

But now that Cui Guogong's palace is gone, if their family wants to recover, they can only take the imperial examination route.

But obviously my son didn't have this idea.

Otherwise he would not have become a master.

"Are you doing it to earn those two taels of silver?"

Cui Hejin said: "Not entirely."

Mrs. Cui sighed, her son's thoughts were becoming more and more unpredictable to her.

Jiang Zhiluo didn't say anything, because any words she spoke now were pale.

Even if she wanted Cui Hejin to study in the county academy, she would still need money. Without money, she would not be able to support her studies.

Although he said that he had two taels of silver every month for his household expenses.

But Jiang Zhiluo thought that she should make more money as soon as possible, so that Cui Hejin would not have to worry about making money to support her family.

Mrs. Cui said: "Then it's hard to go to the school to teach. Is there any time for rest? Do you want to live in the school?"

Cui Hejin slowly explained: "The school is very close to home, so you don't need to live in the school. Classes start at the beginning of the day, Shen Zheng finishes class, and we take an hour's rest at noon..."

Jiang Zhiluo listened silently and did some math in her mind, which meant that she would start school at about nine in the morning and finish at four in the afternoon.

There is also a two-hour break at noon, so even teaching will be much easier.

She thought that the school should also have a holiday.

However, Cui Hejin can come to his home every day, and it doesn't matter whether he takes a rest or not.

That's fine, so he doesn't have to work so hard to copy books and calligraphy.

After lunch and cleaning up, Jiang Zhiluo and Mrs. Cui got busy.

Jiang Zhiluo gave Mrs. Cui a hundred coins and said, "Mom, buy more. We will make brown sugar and sell it these days."

Jiang Zhiluo wants to buy more beets during this period. There may not be many beets after a while.

Beet is a winter vegetable. There are no greenhouse vegetables here. All vegetables must be harvested according to the season.

If there are no beets, we can't make sugar. After all, there is no sugar cane here.

If there is sugar cane, she will not be afraid of not having brown sugar.

Mrs. Cui knew that Jiang Zhiluo had rules for doing things, so she did as she said.

"Mom, go check out a few more houses, but there are still copper coins here, so you don't need to give them to me."

Last time Cui Hejin sold eggs and copied books, and after buying thick noodles, he still had fifty coins left.

Jiang Zhiluo said: "Mom, just take it."

Jiang Zhiluo insisted, but Mrs. Cui did not refuse.

After that, Mrs. Cui went to buy beets.

Jiang Zhiluo started kneading the dough.

After kneading the dough into a ball, she covered it with a clean cloth and waited for it to rise before making the meat buns.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Zhiluo began to cook the pig into the water.

She planned to do this while lighting the fire.

But it was too busy to work like this. Cui Hejin packed some things in the house. When he came out, he saw Jiang Zhiluo looking at the firewood and the pot.

There was not enough firewood, so she took one and put it in the mouth of the stove. Then she washed her hands and stir-fried in the pot with a spoon.

Cui Hejin's expression changed, and he walked over and sat down to help light the fire.

Seeing someone helping, Jiang Zhiluo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you."

Cui Hejin's lips moved, "I should thank you."

Thank you for everything she has done for the family.

He could tell that his mother was in a good mood these days and had no time to worry or think too much.

All this is due to his little wife.

Jiang Zhiluo smiled slightly and said, "This is what you should do."

"You don't have to think too much, I also want to eat well for myself."

But after stir-frying and stewing, Jiang Zhiluo asked Cui Hejin to help light the fire and watch the pot.

She then went to the yard to peel the remaining beets at home, and she never stopped doing it.

…

Mrs. Cui thought about collecting beets, so she went to Li Zheng's house first.

The Li Zheng family has more fields, and there should be a lot of beets.

Besides, her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhu, helped her a lot on weekdays, and she was grateful in her heart.

"Sister Zhu, are you at home?"

Mrs. Zhu had just finished her meal and was planting vegetables in the vegetable garden in the yard. She heard the sound and hurried out.

"Oh, it's Sister Cui. What kind of wind has brought you here? Come in quickly."

Mrs. Zhu now looks at Mrs. Cui very enthusiastically.

After dragging Mrs. Cui into the house, she also talked about the previous rescue.

"Thanks to your Zhiluo, the county magistrate's housekeeper said that he would like to thank you very much later, but I saw that the magistrate's family seemed to have something important at the time, so he didn't pay that much attention..."

But no matter what, because Zhi Luo saved the county magistrate's noble daughter, it was still a credit, and they all also benefited from it.
