Transmigrating To Ancient Times With A Kitchen

52 Planning to Go to School
Jian Qingqing understood how excited they were. She said affirmatively, “It’s true. I’ve asked around. The private school in the county town costs half a tael of silver a month. After handing it over to mister, you can go to school.”

Old Man Jian was so excited that he cried. “Hahaha! I didn’t expect that my Jian Family would have scholars too! This time, I will be worthy of my ancestors! Xiao Hu, Xiao Ye, when you go to school, you must listen to your teacher’s words and study hard! In the future, you will bring glory to your ancestors!”

Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye were also very excited. Studying was the most enviable thing. The children of the landlords were all scholars, and when they walked, they were very dignified. Could they also become such people?

“Yes! We will definitely study hard!”

Old Man Jian wiped his tears, he held Jian Qingqing’s hand. “Big Sister, it’s all thanks to you that our lives can be so good. We have meat for every meal. Not only did we build a house, but Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye can also go to school! I didn’t even dare to think about this in the past! Just thinking about how to eat every day is enough to make my stomach ache. All of this is because of you. You are our family’s treasure!”

Mother Jian also remembered the time when Jian Qingqing was starving to death and woke up. At that time, she did not even have the money to hire a doctor for her daughter.

When Qingqing said that she wanted her to eat meat every day and live a good life, she thought that it was a child’s sweet words, she did not expect it to be realized so quickly. Her father-in-law was right. Big Sister was their family’s treasure!

…

The next day, Jian Dalang and Jian Qingqing brought Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye to buy ink, paper, and inkstone. It had to be said that these things were really expensive. An inkstone cost two taels of silver.

After buying stationery, they went to buy a bundle of cloth, a set of clothes, cotton shoes, and two roast ducks and stewed meat. Jian Dalang took them to the private school, while Jian Qingqing went to the market to set up a stall.

When she arrived, she felt that the other stall owners looked at her a little strangely.

Jian Qingqing was puzzled. Did something happen?

She pushed her doubts aside and unloaded the stewed meat and roast duck from the ox-cart.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, no one came. She wondered, “Aren’t they usually sold out very quickly?”

At this moment, an aunt who usually bought meat from her came over and said, “Little Lady, give me a roast duck.”

Jian Qingqing wrapped the duck and said casually, “Aunt, don’t you want the stewed meat?”

When the aunt heard this, her eyes evaded. “No, no. I’m tired of eating too much. I’ll eat the roast duck today.”

This sounded normal. No matter how delicious the food was, it could not be stopped from being eaten every day. Jian Qingqing did not take it to heart at first, but the aunt stuttered and looked away. She looked very guilty.

She handed the duck to her and asked curiously, “What’s wrong, Aunty?”

“Nothing, nothing!” The aunty took the roast duck, threw down the money, and ran away.

The other customers were the same. They only bought the roast duck and looked guilty. They did not say a word to her.

Jian Qingqing was more and more confused. What happened? The surrounding stall owners seemed to know what happened and looked like they were watching a good show.

She moved the stool and asked the stall owner next to her, “Aunty, what happened? Why are their eyes so strange?”

The Aunt had been avoiding her, as if she did not want to talk to her.

Jian Qingqing cut a piece of stewed meat and placed it on Aunty’s stall.

The Aunty took a look and finally could not resist the temptation, she whispered to Jian Qingqing, “A stewed meat stall appeared next street early in the morning. It’s cheaper than yours. The customers who were waiting for you went to his stall.”
