Zhou bent down and picked up his poor young son. Feng Mei grabbed Ji Wan's hand and walked into the house and said, "You are back. I've been worried for a while. Arong and Aheng have eaten. My mother made black-dough steamed buns and will bring them to you later."

While speaking, several people had already entered the house. The main hall had been cleaned up. The floor had been swept and the table was wiped. The blood on the ground was also cleaned with grass ash, but there were still marks. Ji Wan followed her mother to Ji Rong's room. Ji Rong was originally lying on her side, but she sat up when she heard the sound, leaned on her back, and was wrapped around her head with bandages for several times. She looked very pitiful.

"Mom, sister."

Feng Yue sat next to her and spoke to her, and stood up at this time.

"Aunt Zhou, Awan."

Zhou put down his youngest son and said, "Ayue, Amei, thank you for helping me take care of Arong and Aheng."

Feng Yue smiled and said, "It's time for neighbors to help each other, don't be polite."

The sound of footsteps came from outside. It was Wu, who walked in with a black-faced steamed bun.

"You're all hungry, come and have something to eat first."

Zhou is grateful again.

Wu said: "Today, the two children were frightened. Take good care of them and we will go back first."

Zhou sent her to the door before he fell back.

Ji Wan sat by the kang and asked Ji Rong, "Are you still dizzy?"

Ji Rong said: "Aunt Wu helped me boil medicine and took it. I rested for an afternoon, and now I'm much better."

"I'll make egg custard for you to eat."

Ji Wan knew that her younger brother and sister also ate black steamed buns without oil and water. She used to be helpless to suffer, but now that her family has this condition, Ji Wan has to supplement nutrition for the whole family.

"Sister, we are full, you and your mother will eat."

Ji Rong is very sensible and knows that money is hard to come by and doesn't want to waste it.

Ji Wan just smiled and went to the kitchen.

There were still a few eggs left at home, and she used them all to make egg custard, a very large bowl. The whole family gathered together and ate them together with black steamed buns.

After eating, Ji Wan went to wash the pots and dishes, then boiled water and washed it. After working for half an hour, she went to bed.

"Sister, are grandma and third aunt really imprisoned by the magistrate?"

Ji Rong still felt incredible after hearing what his sister had said in the afternoon.

"Um."

Ji Wan said lightly: "In a few days, my mother will go to the county government to withdraw the complaint and pick up grandma, and Ji Yun may come out. If the third aunt can survive these sixteen years peacefully, she will have the chance to see the light of day again."

Sixteen years, it’s so long to think about it.

Ji Rong was a little dazed, remembering that the third aunt bullied their family before, and that he almost died this time, because of the third aunt's desire for greed.

"Go to bed early, and you have to get up early to make scallion pancakes tomorrow."

Since the afternoon, Ji Wan has been in a state of nervousness. She has been busy for so long when she returned home. She was so exhausted and sleepy that she quickly fell asleep.

Ji Rong looked at her sister and gradually fell asleep.

Scallion pancakes were very popular, so Ji Wan made 200 of them the next day.

Yesterday, many villagers went to the county government to testify for them. In order to express their gratitude, the mother and daughter agreed to buy some eggs to deliver to each family.

"Mom, after selling the scallion pancakes, I plan to go to Dengxian. Maybe I will come back later. Don't wait for me to have lunch at noon."

"What are you doing in Deng County?"

Zhou looked at his eldest daughter in confusion.

"Oh, I'll go inquire about the news, don't worry, I will definitely come back as soon as possible."

After Ji Wan finished speaking, she followed her cousin and went out. When she arrived in the town, Ji Ping asked Ji Wan to stay in the ox cart, and then went to Dengxian together after they sold the scallion pancakes, and then bought eggs when they came back. Ji Wan knew that they were caring about him and did not refute.

She sat in the ox cart and saw two brothers hawking through the crack in the door. Soon someone came over and bought six scallion pancakes directly. This should be the old customer yesterday.

Two hundred scallion pancakes were sold out in half an hour.

Ji Ping and Ji Cheng collected the stall and got on the car, handed Ji Wan the 300 cents of selling scallion pancakes. Ji Wan counted six copper plates and handed them to the two.

"I'll make another trip today, so I'll give you two cents more." I'm afraid they won't accept it, Ji Wan said, "You have always been feeding the cows, and you can't let you pay for the cost in vain. If you don't accept it, I'll be angry."

The two brothers looked at each other, and Ji Ping finally said, "Maybe we can still pull people when we go back..."

"That's the extra income, you can take it yourself." Ji Wan paused and said, "You can keep this money by yourself. Don't tell your uncle and uncle, otherwise they will definitely return it to me."

"Awan..."

"Brother, listen to me." Ji Wan slowed down and said, "I know that my uncle has planned to tell you about marriage, and will organize a wedding for you before the summer next year. Gifts and wedding banquets are both cost money. My uncle must have planned to sell all the poultry in a few days to marry you."

Ji Ping's face turned slightly red.

"Your family now has only four acres of fertile land and one acre of poor land. The income is decreasing, the population is increasing, and life is getting worse and worse. My eldest sister is about to be fourteen next year, and she will get married the next year. The dowry will directly affect her status in her husband's family, and it is definitely not missing. I thought about it. Your family also has white flour. In a few days, I will teach my aunt to make scallion pancakes, and we both sell them together."

Ji Ping and Ji Cheng opened their eyes wide and looked at her in disbelief.

Ji Wan looked calm, "I also know that the expenses in your family are arranged by my aunt. If you can get people back and forth, you can keep the travel expenses you earn by yourself and buy snacks for Axiang and Alan. Children all like to eat snacks, but they know that the family is in trouble and dare not say it."

"Ah, Awan, do you really want to teach my mother the recipe for scallion pancake?"

Ji Ping was surprised, happy and incredible. No one else could make scallion pancakes, which was equivalent to being an exclusive secret recipe. The exclusive secret recipes since ancient times are all non-existent. Although they are all from Ji's family, they have already separated after all. Ji Wan can still use this recipe as a dowry, and her husband's family will look up to you in the future.

Unexpectedly, she generously taught this secret recipe.

"certainly."

Ji Wan smiled and said that scallion pancakes were just a signboard, and she would sell other foods in the future.

While talking, Dengxian arrived.

"Awan, go directly to the county government?"

"No."

Ji Wan shook her head, "Go to Zuixianju."

Zuixianju is the largest restaurant in Deng County. When Ji Qing was a child, he brought them mother and daughter.

Ji Ping asked about the road, turned the street, and saw the sign of Zuixianju. Ji Ping parked the ox cart under an old locust tree, and then led his brother and sister in.

The waiter came up quickly and saw the clothes of several people. He was stunned for a moment, but he did not show any contempt, but his tone was a little confused and uncertain.

"Are the three of you playing the top spot or staying in a hotel?"

As the largest restaurant in Dengxian County, Zuixianju does live up to its reputation.

Not to mention anything else, the lanterns hanging on the walls, which were handmade, were not worth five taels of silver. There was also a Persian red carpet on the stairs, and the handrails were smooth and shiny, making it hard to say that they were rich and noble.

Ji Wan took a quick look and then withdrew her gaze, smiling gently, "Little brother, are you in your shopkeeper here? I want to do a business with him."

The little girl is beautiful and her voice sounds nice. The waiter's eyes softened unconsciously, but he was stunned when he heard this.

“Do business?”

"right."

Before noon, there were already many guests on the first floor, and they noticed Ji Wan and his sister. Most of them looked surprised and looked contempt, a few were indifferent, and there were also those who whispered.

Ji Wan didn't care and said, "I have a delicacy that can make Zuixianju's business more prosperous."

The waiter smiled and said kindly: "Girl, the chefs in our restaurant are all famous chefs, and they can cook any kind of dishes."

"You definitely don't have this dish I'm going to make."
