Chapter 22 Social Awesomeness

Jiang Youning could see the face of the visitor clearly now, and found that it was a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old. The boy had a face like a crown jewel and was wearing a purple narrow-sleeved brocade robe. He was looking at her with a worried look on his face.

She looked down at the hand held by the boy and pulled it back without thinking.

The young man's attention was all on her, but she broke away from him.

Jiang Youning asked: "How do you see that I want to die?"

The young man said confidently, "You hung the rope on the tree and almost stuck your head in. If I hadn't arrived in time, you would have committed suicide."

Jiang Youning: "..." She hasn't tasted all the delicacies in Jinling yet, is she seeking suicide? That doesn't exist!

"I just wanted to install a hanging chair, not to commit suicide."

"Ah?" The young man was a little embarrassed, "I saw it wrong, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, you have good intentions." Jiang Youning glanced at the wicker chair. It was a bit heavy. Then he looked at the young man in front of him. He was about 180cm tall and had a slender figure. He should be able to lift the wicker chair.

"Can you do me a favor? I'll treat you to a big meat bun."

Why does a young man have the illusion of coaxing a dog to work when he hears meat buns?

"Tell me what you can do for me first."

Jiang Youning said: "I installed the hanging chair, but this rattan chair is too heavy and I can't lift it. Just help me lift it."

The young man took another look at the wicker chair and saw that it was indeed a bit heavy. It would be difficult for a delicate girl like her to move it.

He agreed readily, "I'll just help you."

With the help of the young man, Jiang Youning first hung the wicker chair on the tree trunk.

After tying the rope, she sat down on the wicker chair and tested the firmness and comfort.

The young man looked at the hanging chair in front of him and saw Jiang Youning lying on it, her little feet wearing embroidered shoes swinging leisurely.

"You are quite smart. It is quite comfortable to sleep on it."

"Of course." After Jiang Youning finished trying, he walked into the room, took out two big meat buns and handed them to the boy.

"Eat it, it's still warm."

The young man looked down at the meat bun in his hand. It was warm and smelled delicious. He put it to his mouth and took a bite, showing a look of surprise.

"This meat bun is more delicious than any meat bun I've ever eaten." He said, lowering his head and taking another bite, completely forgetting that you shouldn't eat food given by strangers.

Jiang Youning heard that it was no exception at all. Modern preparation methods are certainly more delicious than ancient ones.

After the boy finished eating two meat buns, he looked around the yard for a few times and couldn't help but notice.

Jiang Youning asked: "Are you climbing the wall or taking the main entrance?"

The young man looked away and glanced at the wall, "I'll climb the wall."

Jiang Youning said politely: "Then walk slowly."

"Yeah." The young man nodded, climbed over the wall and left.

When Chuntao came back, her face was full of excitement.

"Girl, I sold the peony velvet flower for sixty taels of silver, and the lilac velvet flower for sixty-five taels."

Jiang Youning's eyebrows curled up after hearing this. She had earned more than a hundred taels of silver today. Sure enough, rich people earn the most money.

Chuntao said while changing her clothes: "By the way, girl, General Xie led his troops on an expedition two days ago."

"Oh." Jiang Youning weighed the money bag, "Chuntao, you go to the street to buy more brown sugar and come back later."

"Okay." Chuntao responded.

I made a lot of money today. When Chuntao was buying candy, she also bought two kilograms of pork ribs and made Jiang Youning's favorite braised pork ribs.

For lunch, Jiang Youning ate four bowls of rice. The main reason was that the bowls were too small. She suggested changing to a larger bowl, but Chuntao refused. The reason was, "Which rich lady eats with a big bowl?"

She can't even set a precedent~

After lunch, Jiang Youning took Chuntao to Qinyuan.

When they arrived at Qinyuan, Chuntao glanced at the cloth bag in her hand and asked doubtfully: "Girl, what are we doing here?"

Jiang Youning said: "Pick fruits."

When I came here last time, I saw several hawthorn trees in Qinyuan, which were full of fruits.

Hawthorn is a medicinal material. At this time, there were no snacks like candied haws in ancient times, and hawthorn was not eaten as a fruit.

"Picking fruit?" Chuntao looked at the fruit in front of her, "Isn't this a hawthorn?"

"Yes, pick the ones you picked." Jiang Youning said and started to pick them.

Chuntao picked along with him with doubts.

After a while, I picked a bag.

On the way back, I bought a hundred bamboo sticks.

When she returned to the yard, Jiang Youning asked Chuntao to wash and dry the hawthorns, and then string the three hawthorns into a string.

Early the next morning, Jiang Youning boiled the syrup with brown sugar. After the sugar was boiled, he took the serial numbered hawthorn and rolled it into a circle of syrup.

When the sugar hardens, stick them one by one on the stakes tied with straw.

Jiang Youning couldn't wait to pick up a bunch and put it in her mouth and took a bite. She hadn't eaten candied haws for a long time and finally satiated her craving.

"Chuntao, you should try it too."

Chuntao picked up a bunch out of curiosity and put it in her mouth and took a bite. Her eyes were filled with surprise, "It's sour and sweet. It's delicious."

Jiang Youning said while eating: "Two cents a bunch, you can try selling it on the street."

"Don't worry, girl, I will definitely sell out."

After Chuntao finished eating the candied haws in her hand, she picked up the pile and went to the street.

Jiang Youning sat on the couch and began to make rose-style velvet flowers.

Beside the window, a dark head suddenly appeared, staring at Jiang Youning with a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes.

"What are you doing?"

The sudden male voice startled Jiang Youning and trembled. He raised his head and saw the young man outside the window. He was the one who climbed over the wall yesterday.

"Why are you here again?"

The young man's peach blossom eyes narrowed, "I was passing by and came to see you."

Jiang Youning: "..." This kid is a bit familiar~

Commonly known as, Social Awesomeness!

Before Jiang Youning could say anything, the boy walked in from the front door and stared curiously at the things in front of her, "What are you doing?"

"I can't tell you." Jiang Youning said and put the things away.

The young man looked confused, "Why can't you tell me? I won't tell others."

Jiang Youning didn't answer but asked, "Are you greedy for my meat buns?"

The boy thought back to the meat buns he had eaten yesterday, which tasted good, and asked, "Do you have any meat buns?"

Jiang Youning said, "I knew you were here to eat." She shook her head, "No, I've finished it, but I have some candied haws, so I can give you a bunch."

The young man was a little curious, "What is candied haws on a stick?"

Jiang Youning got down from the couch, took out a bunch of candied haws and handed it to him, "This is it."

The boy looked at the red fruit and had his first eating experience. This time he took it and stuffed it into his mouth and took a bite. He found that it was delicious.

“The candied haws on a stick are also delicious.”

When Jiang Youning saw that he had finished eating, he said: "You can climb over the wall and leave, I won't send you away."

The young man lifted up his clothes and sat down on the couch, crossing his legs like an old man.

"I'm not leaving now."

Jiang Youning: "..."

The young man held his chin in his hand, with a worried look on his face: "You said a woman is angry, how can you calm her down?"

Jiang Youning asked: "Are you consulting me?"

The young man asked: "Is there anyone else here besides you?"

Jiang Youning stretched out her hand in front of him, "The consultation fee is one tael of silver."
