Chapter 62： The promotion story changed.

Since the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, the weather has been getting colder every day.

It's better outdoors, it's too cold indoors to sit still.

In the winter in the north, I will light the stove and burn the heater, so the house is warm. The kang is still warm in the sleeping room, and it is also warm when sleeping.

The south is not cold in the north, no one lights the stove, but the room is wet and cold.

Probably the only advantage is that the temperature is not so low, there will be no ice on the ground, and no snow in the sky.

Until the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the wharf is open to navigation, and their business can be done normally.

If this is in the north, and the lake freezes, it will not be navigable, and their family's business will naturally be impossible.

Nowadays, the method of red bean paste has been researched, and the sales volume of red bean paste cake is not as good as before. However, Luo Jianjia has good craftsmanship and delicious cooking, so there are still many stable customers.

Earning more than 300 liters a day is not too small.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is about to come, it is estimated that the heroine has almost appeared next to Chu Weileng, and it is not a few days since she and Chu Weileng got together.

Luo Jianjia counted the silver, plus the money for the second order from Lord Hou Mansion last time, it was more than one hundred and ten taels.

The money is enough for her to do a lot of things.

Mr. Zhao and Boss Chu are not bad to her. I am afraid that there will be no chance to contact her in the future. She intends to give them more delicious food in return.

After a while after the food was sold out, Luo Jianjia went to the town to cut some meat, fat and thin, and bought some lotus roots and shiitake mushrooms.

After returning, chop the meat, and chop the lotus root and shiitake mushrooms, and add them to the meat.

Add seasonings, salt, sugar, five-spice powder, etc. to the meat, as well as green onion and ginger.

Before stirring, add some water and an egg.

Finally, keep stirring the fillings in one direction until the meat is thicker.

In fact, starch can be added to it, but it is a pity that Luo Jianjia can't find a place to sell starch, so he can only do so.

When the meat is mixed, Luo Jianjia divides the meat into four parts, each of which is rounded into a ball.

Heat oil in the pot and slowly lower the **** into the inside.

When the **** are fried, fish them out.

Set up another pot, put oil, green onion, ginger, seasoning, put the fried meatballs, add water, and cook slowly.

Finally, collect the juice, take out the four big balls, and sprinkle some chopped green onions on top.

In this way, a Sixi meatball is ready.

There is a lot of meat in this Sixi meatball. The lotus root and shiitake mushrooms are like side dishes, and the most important thing is meat.

I haven't eaten it yet, just asking about the taste and looking at the color makes people drooling.

Although there is a lot of money in the family now, Boss Zhao and Chu don’t like to spend money so much. They are still the same as before.

But for the first time there is so much meat like today.

"Is this the Sixi meatballs?" Zhao asked, staring at the plate.

Luo Jianjia nodded and said, "Yes."

"I only heard people say it before, and I have never seen it before. I didn't expect it to look like this." Zhao said after swallowing.

Boss Chu glanced at the plate, and said, "When I was a child, I heard from the elders in the family that the wealthy people eat well during the New Year, and the meat is full, and the meatballs are all made of meat. I didn't expect to see them in this life."

Perhaps thinking of the hard days before, Zhao sighed and said, "Isn't it? I used to smell a bit of meat and fish in the New Year. I can't even think of these Sixi balls."

Luo Jianjia didn't expect a dish to attract so much emotion from the two of them. He looked at the steaming Sixi meatballs and said: "Daddy, please try it soon. If you don't eat it, it will be cold."

Boss Chu and Zhao Clan recovered from the past and looked at the Sixi **** in front of them.

"Yes, have a taste and see what the meatballs are like." Zhao said with a smile.

Carefully use chopsticks to catch some, and Zhao slowly put it into his mouth.

When the taste of the meatballs dissipated in his mouth, Zhao chewed vigorously, swallowed, and said, "It's so delicious, the meat is very firm. Is there anything other than meat in it?"

Luo Jianjia smiled and said, "There are also lotus roots and shiitake mushrooms."

Zhao said: "No wonder, it feels crunchy. Adding this seems to make the meat less greasy."

Boss Chu tasted it and said, "No wonder the rich like to eat this dish during the Chinese New Year, it's really delicious."

After taking two more bites, Zhao said, "I think the cymbal craftsmanship is good. Others may not be able to make cymbal so delicious."

"My mother is too acclaimed, and my daughter-in-law just does it casually, not as good as those masters."

"You are too modest. Those merchants who come and go say you have good craftsmanship, better than the masters they have seen in the big restaurant."

Boss Chu also boasted: "It's really good craftsmanship."

"Brother Leng also likes to eat meat. When he comes back next time, you can cook it for him." Every time he eats something delicious, Zhao often thinks of his son, "But he doesn’t like sweet ones, the best in them. Put less sugar and more chili."

Put less sugar and more chili?

Then lose the original taste.

After all, the next time we meet, the two people are probably going to get together, and Chu Weilian has no chance to eat the food she cooked. Luo Jianjia didn't argue with Zhao, and agreed with a smile.

A few days later, it was almost the New Year. Early in the morning, Luo Jianjia went to feed the chickens after washing.

Just after feeding, I heard a little movement from the door.

Luo Jianjia looked up subconsciously.

Seeing that the person was Zhang, she frowned slightly and walked towards the door.

As soon as he walked to the door, before he spoke, Zhang grabbed her and pulled her out of the door.

"Jianjia, you should have a lot of money there? Give me some." Zhang's whispered.

Luo Jianjia glanced at Zhang's, and pulled his arm out of Zhang's hand with a slight effort.

Could it be that her money was not made by the strong wind, Zhang wanted it.

No matter how people from the Luo family are like brown sugar, they can't get rid of it.

"Mother, I told you very clearly last time, it's better for you to come to Chu's house less." After that, Luo Jianjia turned and wanted to walk towards Chu's house.

Before he turned around, Zhang was caught.

Luo Jianjia turned his head and looked over.

"Jianjia, you can't be like this. After all, a woman still depends on her natal family. You can only get better when the natal family is good. Now your father needs money to do business, and you have to use some of it. When our family gets rich, you In order to be straighter at her in-law’s waist. How can you become more ignorant as you get older?" Zhang started her rhetoric again.

It's a pity that Luo Jianjia doesn't eat this set at all.

Besides, she was thinking about getting rid of the Luo family's relationship, so naturally she would not intervene in this matter.

"Mother, I don't want to take advantage of my natal family. No matter how good my father's business is, it has nothing to do with me. Similarly, no matter how bad I am, I don't need my parents' help."

"You...you...how did you become like this? Did the Chu family tell you something?" Zhang asked.

Her honest and obedient girl must have been fooled by the Chu family, or she wouldn't have changed so much.

"You think too much, the Chu family didn't tell me anything. Go back, I have no money, and can't give it to you. I also wish my father a prosperous business." Luo Jianjia tried to remove Zhang's hand.

At this time, the Zhang family hesitated and finally told the truth: "Actually... your father has lost money in business and needs money to turn around. Now her family is in trouble, you can take some money out."

Luo Jianjia paused slightly and looked at Zhang's.

Luo Fusheng is losing money again?

It seems that Luo Fusheng has never made any money in business, and he loses what he does.

But what does this have to do with her?

"No." Luo Jianjia said very firmly.

"How come you have no money? You have been doing business with the Chu family for so long, and you must have saved a lot of money. You should come up with some emergency response." Zhang said anxiously.

Luo Jianjia didn't speak, but looked at Zhang silently.

Seeing that his daughter's oil and salt were not coming in, Zhang was very angry, and looked at the daughter in front of him that he felt strange.

"When you got married, your mother gave you a silver bracelet. That bracelet is worth one or two. Take it out."

Upon hearing this, Luo Jianjia laughed instead of anger.

This is the first time she has heard that her mother's family can do this, and when she has no money, she will come to give her daughter's dowry.

It's so thick-skinned.

"Isn't the dowry for me? Why do you want to go back now?" Luo Jianjia asked.

Zhang said, "Although it is for you, it is also a mother's thing, which was left to me by your grandma."

"Then what about the betrothal gift given by my in-laws? Not more valuable than this bracelet? Did my parents give me a point?" Luo Jianjia retorted.

She didn't want the bracelet, but she didn't like the disgusting behavior of the Luo family.

"You are so cruel! You know what your father and grandma's attitude is. I was also pushed by them when I came here. You are not considerate of your mother, and you still treat your mother like this. Can't I get my things back? Are you trying to force me to death?" As he said, Zhang cried.

"I think my mother wanted to force me to death. Let my daughter take things from her husband's house." Luo Jianjia sneered, "Wait, I'll bring it for you right away."

After a while, Luo Jianjia gave all the jewelry left by the original owner to the Zhang family.

She didn't want to be stuck by the Luo family anymore.

"I'll say it one last time, don't come anymore, I won't recognize it." Luo Jianjia went back after speaking.

Zhang didn't even look at his daughter, holding the bracelet and earrings in his hands, and let out a sigh of relief.

When Zhao heard the news and was about to come out, he saw that his daughter-in-law had already gone back.

"Jianjia, who was outside just now?"

"People from the outer village, have gone the wrong way, come and ask for directions." Luo Jianjia explained briefly.

"Oh." Zhao didn't ask any more.

Because of Zhang's arrival, Luo Jianjia was in a bad mood all day.

Such a family like dog skin plaster is really bad.

She has to stay away from her. I have seen houses in the town before, the price is right, the location is okay, but it's too close to here.

She was considering whether to go to the county town or not. It would be a little richer there, and maybe the business could be better. The most important thing is to stay away from Luo's family.

After a while, after she and Aunt Wang sent the car home, she went out to the county seat.

She has to find a place to live.

When she came back from the county seat, it was already dark.

Seeing her back, Zhao greeted her with a smile.

"Jianjia, Brother Leng has written a letter back, please see what you wrote."

Luo Jianjia was a little surprised.

Chu Wei Leng didn't write a letter when the Prince Hou Mansion sent someone to buy something last time. Why did he remember to write at this time?

Thinking that he should almost meet the heroine at this time, Luo Jianjia's heart jumped, took the letter from Zhao's hand, opened it and looked at it.

However, she was wrong. Chu Weilian's letter did not mean to reconcile with her, but a happy event.

"What's written, Jianjia, what's written on it?" Zhao asked quickly when his daughter-in-law's face changed slightly.

Luo Jianjia simply read the letter, looked at the Zhao family, and said, "Mother, Xianggong has been promoted."

Zhao asked in surprise: "Huh? You got promoted?"

"Yes, it has reached the seventh grade."

Although Zhao didn't understand these grades, he knew that the lower the number before the grade, the greater the official position.

The first product is the highest, and the nineth product is the smallest.

My son has risen by two numbers in half a year, so fast.

Then, in the next instant, she became nervous.

She had heard from her own man before that a military commander had to fight and perform meritorious services if he wanted to be promoted.

"How come you got promoted so soon, is there a war? Is he injured?" Zhao asked nervously, clutching his daughter-in-law's arm.

Zhao's love for a child is all reflected on his face.

Boss Chu looked anxious.

Luo Jianjia hurriedly explained to them: "Father, mother, it was not a war, and Xiang Gong was not injured. It was the end of the year in the military competition. Xiang Gong won the first place in the whole camp and was promoted exceptionally."

Hearing this, Boss Chu and Zhao both breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other, and their faces showed relaxed smiles.

Speaking of which, Luo Jianjia was also a little surprised, how could the male protagonist be promoted to the seventh rank at this time.

If she remembers correctly, the opportunity for the male lead to be promoted lies with the next emperor, who is still the male partner of the prince.

The male protagonist first met the female protagonist in the previous year, and it was only a year later that he saved the prince on the battlefield. From then on, the official career was prosperous.

How can it be advanced now?

Could it be that she remembered it wrong?

Moreover, the competition? Why is this so familiar? I felt like I heard it from somewhere last time.

Brother Zhao and Boss Chu were happy for their son's promotion, and they were talking happily on the sidelines.

Luo Jianjia was lost in thought.

Since she has an impression, it must have been mentioned in the book.

Since it has been mentioned, it is mostly related to the male lead, or the female lead, or the plot.

More than half a year has passed, and now she only remembers the important plots more clearly, and some small details are almost forgotten by her.

After thinking for a long time, I haven't figured it out. Luo Jianjia is no longer embarrassed by herself anymore. Now that the man and woman meet for the first time, there is no important plot. If you forget, just forget it.

Thinking about it this way, Luo Jianjia turned his head and looked at Zhao, wanting to ask her what delicious things to make tonight to celebrate.

However, before he spoke, a plot suddenly flashed in his mind.

Suddenly, he froze in place.

First meeting... First meeting...

Isn't it just the first encounter?

She suddenly remembered. It was mentioned in the book that the reason why the male and female protagonists met was because the male protagonist could not participate in the competition, and he was in a bad mood.

Thinking about it this way, the plot is different from the one in the book.

Why does the hero now have the opportunity to participate in the competition?

Now that he participated, there must be no time to leave the barracks. Did he meet the hostess?
