Chapter 173: Friend

Jiang Mei put on her curtain hat again. She still had more than eight taels of silver on hand, and she was going to treat them to a good meal.

As soon as Xiao Xin heard that she could eat, she immediately jumped up with excitement and pulled Jiang Mei to the place selling yam cakes. It was too cold and she wanted to eat something hot.

Jiang Mei said, "Let's go eat hotpot mutton. In this weather, mutton is warm."

Xiao Xin and Xiao Qin suddenly froze, boiling mutton?

They can't afford it.

From their point of view, it was good enough that Jiang Mei could treat them to yam cakes and donkey rolls that were cheap and could be eaten for just a few bucks.

If the food is expensive, they won't be able to ask for it, and if the food is split evenly, they won't be able to pay for it.

Seeing that they were all unhappy and still stunned, Jiang Mei said clearly: "How about this, I'll treat you to boiled mutton, and later Xiaoxin will treat us to yam cake, and Xiaoqin will treat us to donkey rolls."

When Xiao Xin heard this, his heart burst with joy and his mouth began to smack. This is a very cost-effective thing.

Xiao Xin readily agreed, and she didn't feel that she had taken advantage of Jiang Mei. She immediately pulled Jiang Mei away and said, "I'm telling you, you still have to eat sheep to eat hot-boiled mutton. I heard that sheep always run in the mountains."

Yes, and the soup they make is not fishy or spicy at all, and every piece of meat is skin-on, with the right amount of fat and leanness.”

Xiaoqin still felt that she had taken advantage of Jiang Mei, so don't worry about it. Seeing that Xiaoxin didn't care at all and looked careless, she scolded her: "When can you afford mutton?"

"Hey, when I went home last time, I heard from Liuzi that his father worked as a driver in the Admiral's Mansion. The last time Liuzi passed away, his father took him to a restaurant to eat Yangji's mutton. After returning,

We tell everyone in our alley, and we have to tell people twice when we meet them."

Xiao Xin said to Jiang Mei again: "You don't know, he said that they ate two kilograms of meat last time, and one kilogram of meat costs sixty. I just want to let my mother take me when I am born.

Come and eat it, and I can eat it today thanks to your blessing. I am so happy. Not only will I let people in our alley know about it, but I will also let everyone in the alley next door know about it."

Jiang Mei felt that it was too difficult for them.

She used to think that the Jiang family was a small family, but after all they had enough food and clothing and were one of the best in Yuncheng County. Now compared to them, it was much better.

They can even go out to a restaurant and eat meat once, so what else is she dissatisfied with?

Xiao Xin and Xiao Qin are not from Kyoto, but their family works as slaves in the capital, and then rents slum houses in Nancheng Alley to settle down. Some work in the capital as slaves all their lives, and some are

After you save enough money, you can go back to your hometown in the countryside and build a house.

When they arrived at Yangji, Jiang Mei insisted on paying an extra 30 yuan for a small private room. Even in such a small restaurant, she did not dare to relax. In the private room, she dared to take off the curtain and have a good meal, otherwise she would

Having to wear a curtain in the hall to eat is even more strange and attracts attention.

Xiaoqin always looked at Jiang Mei inadvertently. She had a unique appearance and was extremely beautiful without makeup. She looked completely unworldly, but she became a palace maid like them.

But she could afford the best ointment, go to the gold and silver shop freely, buy whatever she liked, and even treat them to mutton. The key was that she could eat in the lobby, but she had to spend money to go to a private room.

Qin couldn't understand it.

After entering Yangji, the smell of meat filled the air. Xiao Xin almost drooled, but still asked: "Do you still have money? After buying so many things, you still have money to go to a restaurant?"

The most important thing is that it was the first time in her life that she ate in a private room like a noble, and everything was new to her.

The waiter came in to order.

"How many kilograms of mutton, haggis, and mutton chops do you want?"

Xiao Xin quickly shouted: "Two pounds..."

Then he thought about it and said carefully: "One, one pound is enough."

Xiaoqin hates Xiaoxin and blames her for being ignorant.

"Don't sit facing east. Today, facing east will bring bad luck."

Xiao Xin was unhappy and replied: "Why are you so superstitious at such a young age?"

Jiang Mei was already used to it and said to the waiter: "We want one pound of mutton, one pound of haggis, two pounds of grilled lamb chops, and a stir-fried green vegetable, thank you."

After ordering the meal, the child immediately shouted outside: "In the private room, there are one meat, one miscellaneous and two grilled lamb chops."

Xiao Xin covered her mouth and said in surprise: "Can we eat so much? Ji Jiang, why are you so generous? Oh my God, I can hold your thigh firmly."

Jiang Mei said: "It's okay, let's eat as much as we can, and then I'll wrap some lamb chops in oil paper for Tudou and the others to eat."

"Why should I give it to them? They are always bullying others and they especially dislike you. You are too kind to bring them something."

Xiao Xin couldn't understand why Jiang Mei could tolerate everything and be so broad-minded.

But this is Jiang Mei's nature. When she returned to the Jiang family from her maternal grandfather, she was able to bring gifts to everyone in the Jiang family. This shows that this is her nature since she was a child.

She has always believed that it is better to reconcile enemies than to make enemies. There is no deep hatred or hatred in the first place, so why worry about it.

Seeing that Jiang Mei was open-minded and not caring, Xiao Qin said to Xiao Xin: "This is Ji Jiang's own decision. It has nothing to do with you."

Everyone in the palace is a slave, so who is different from the other? They are all slaves, but Ji Jiang is different.

Xiaoqin sat opposite, and it was easy to see the gentle smile on Jiang Mei's face, which was really beautiful.

Before the food was served, Jiang Mei took out the two pairs of earrings she bought at the silver shop and handed them to them and said, "This is a gift from me to you. I hope you don't dislike it."

Xiaoqin and Xiaoxin never thought that Jiang Mei bought these two pairs of earrings as gifts for them.

Although she liked it very much, Xiaoqin still refused: "I can't have this, it's too expensive."

This is almost her monthly salary. Even if Jiang Mei is rich and has the ability to give it to her, she can't take it for nothing.

Seeing Xiaoqin pushing back, she stopped her and said, "The steamed bun that night was the hardest steamed bun I've ever eaten in my life, but it was a steamed bun full of kindness, friendliness, and hope. So, for nothing else, just for that steamed bun."

, I ask you to accept it."

Xiaoqin saw Jiang Mei's serious eyes and the warmth coming from her hands. The corners of Xiaoqin's eyes were a little moist. She stopped refusing and held the earrings in her hands tightly. This was the first time in her life that she had such a precious earring.

something.

Seeing that Xiao Qin had accepted it, Xiao Xin said unceremoniously: "Then I won't be polite either."

Then she asked Xiaoqin to help her put it on.

“Very nice.”

As a palace maid, wearing silver jewelry is the highest standard. They are not allowed to wear gold jewelry, so this gift is just suitable for them.

The meal ended with Xiao Xin having a round belly. Jiang Mei still packed some grilled lamb chops for Tu Tu and the others. Although it might be cold when they took it back, they couldn't eat it in the East Palace.

Before going out, Jiang Mei put on her curtain hat again. They went to buy yam cakes, but on the way they met someone she never wanted to meet again in her life.
