The next morning, Xu Jiang went to the alley to buy steamed pancakes.
Steaming pancakes was to mash grains, usually millet, rice, etc., add water, knead them into a ball, and steam them in a pot.
Food such as Hu cakes and sesame seed cakes would have to wait until the Han Dynasty.
There was a shop selling baked cakes. The man's name was Shan Wu. He brought his wife and daughter to play chess and barely made ends meet.
The steamed pancake was the size of a palm. Xu Jiang bought two.
Chess Flower was in her twenties and looked petite.
She accepted the money and handed the steamed pancake over shyly.
Xu Jiang looked at Shan Wu who was busy in front of the stove and said loudly,"
"I told you not to steam it. You just don't believe me!"
There were a lot of steamed cakes in Xianyang, and there was one every few workshops.
Shan Wu's family was busy from morning till night, barely making ends meet.
Shan Wu smiled and said,"
"Little Langjun, the stove can only roast a few at a time. Besides, charcoal was expensive! When I save some money, I'll try it!”
Xu Jiang was helpless. Can you save money like this?
"Make the stove deeper and stick the pancakes around. Won't you be able to steam more at once? Save wood!"
Shan Wu still did not understand.
Xu Jiang stepped forward and drew an oven on the ground with a charred piece of wood.
Shan Wu's eyes lit up. This stove was good. It could make twenty to thirty pancakes at a time!
Shan Wu cupped his hands in thanks.
"Thank you for your advice, Young Langjun!"
He would try it when he was free. What if the method worked?
Chess Flower looked at Xu Jiang with admiration. People who had studied were indeed different.
He understood a lot!
~
Someone patted Xu Jiang from behind.
"Brother Xu, what are you doing?"
Without looking back, it was Li Gai.
Xu Jiang waved his hand as he walked back.
"Can't you see? I'm buying steamed pancakes!"
Li Gai winked and said,
"Tsk! Are you coveting his little lady?"
"Get lost!"
"Then I'll get lost?"
"Leave those gift boxes behind! Get lost!"
Behind Li Gai were more than ten servants carrying gifts.
Li Gai smiled and said,
"It's all from my mother!”
Xu Jiang smiled and said,
"Elder, I dare not refuse! I'll take them all!"
Every time Xu Jiang looked at the gift list, he felt happy!
She kept looking at it, and her heart was always happy!
I made a small fortune!
Li Gai invited,
"Shall we go to the bar? A few more from the Drunken Red Pavilion…"
Xu Jiang waved his hand and said,
"I want to go out of the city to see my family's land.”
There were still 50 acres of land in the house, which were planted by the tenants.
The herbal field rewarded by the system yesterday was there. Xu Jiang was ready to go and take a look.
Li Gai immediately expressed that he wanted to go with them.
~
Zhangtai Palace.
After the court session ended, the ministers left in twos and threes.
Li Si noticed that Imperial Censor Meng Yi was frowning and struggling.
"Doctor Meng, are you troubled by something?”
Meng Yi sighed.
"My son Meng Sheng's right leg is broken!”
Li Si jumped in fright. Meng Sheng was Meng Yi's eldest son and was working in the Shao residence.
In this era, if a leg was broken, a person would be crippled.
Li Si could not help but sigh. Meng Sheng's career was over!
The imperial court would not use a cripple!
Meng Yi was very frustrated!
The eldest son he had carefully nurtured was actually crippled!
The other sons were either too young or disappointing.
Li Si tried asking,"
"Has Imperial Physician Xia gone to take a look?"
Meng Yi nodded.
"Yes, he personally fixed the splints. However, Imperial Physician Xia also said…"
Meng Yi was so sad that he couldn't continue.
His eyes were already red!
The eldest son's future was ruined and he was disabled. This was a huge blow!
Li Si sympathized, but he could not help.
Xia Wuqie, Great Qin's number one imperial physician!
If he was helpless, then this leg would really be like this!
Looking at Meng Yi's despondent back, Li Si completely understood how he felt.
When his mother was sick, a stone weighed down on his heart.
Mother?
That's right!
Li Si slapped his thigh and suddenly thought of someone.
He shouted at Meng Yi,
"Doctor Meng, please wait! I know a godly doctor!"
Meng Yi's eyes lit up. He hurriedly cupped his hands and said,
"Minister Li, please speak!"
Li Si told Meng Yi Xu Jiang's name and clinic.
Meng Yi was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly cupped his hands in thanks!
He knew that Li Si's mother was sick.
He didn't expect Xu Jiang to be able to cure the illness that Chen Fang couldn't!
Chen Fang was the imperial physician second only to Xia Wuqi!
When Meng Yi returned home, he went straight to his eldest son, Meng Sheng's courtyard.
From afar, she could hear Meng Sheng throwing a tantrum.
There was the sound of something shattering.
Meng Yi sighed.
This leg injury was a huge blow to his son.
At such a young age, he could only go home to retire, and all his ambitions would be in vain.
Not going crazy was already a strong mental state!
Meng Yi walked in.
In just two days, his son's eyes were sunken and bloodshot. He had aged a lot.
His wife and daughter-in-law covered their faces and cried.
Meng Yi coughed.
"Sheng 'er, Minister Li recommended a miracle doctor. I've already sent someone to invite him!”
Meng Sheng leaned against the bed weakly and said in despair,"
"Even Xia Wuqi can't do anything about it. It's a waste to invite anyone!”
Meng Yi consoled,
"Even Chen Fang was helpless when Minister Li's mother fell ill. It was this divine doctor who cured her in one shot.”
Meng Sheng raised his head!
Chen Fang couldn't cure it, but Xia Wuqi couldn't cure it in one dose, right?
His eyes rekindled with hope!
It was not long before the servant came to report that the door of the clinic was closed and Xu Jiang had gone out.
Meng Sheng was eager to cure his illness and cursed,
"Dog talent! Why did you come back if you didn't manage to invite her? Go to the clinic and wait!"
He thought that Xu Jiang had made a house call and would be back soon.
The servant left dejectedly.
This time, he didn't dare to go anywhere. He just waited at the entrance of the clinic.
~
After dinner, Xu Jiang and Li Gai rode out of the city.
The road conditions in the countryside were so bad that a horse carriage could knock one's stomach out.
Outside Xianyang City was farmland.
After running on the official road for a while, Xu Jiang took the lead and ran down the official road onto the country road.
After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the two of them slowed down.
Although they were all high-grade horses, they couldn't keep running. That would hurt the horses.
Li Gai's inner thigh was burning, and he couldn't help but complain,
"Why did you buy a manor so far away?”
Xu Jiang's thigh was also uncomfortable.
Saddles, stirpers, and horseshoes were only available in the Han Dynasty. Now, there was only a blanket on the horse's back.
He had to clamp his legs tightly and grab the reins with both hands.
Tired!
The horse was also uncomfortable!
Xu Jiang corrected him,
"I only have 50 mu of land, not a village! It was remote because he didn't have money. He didn't have money in the past!”
What Li Gai had sent over today was enough to completely improve his life.
He couldn't be called poor anymore.
~
After walking for the time for half an incense stick to burn, Xu Jiang pointed to a mountain not far away in the west and said,"
"We're at the foot of the mountain!"
Li Gai was very surprised. He pointed his whip at a manor not far away.
"So you and Marquis Wucheng's family are neighbors!”
Marquis Wucheng was War God Wang Jian.
Xu Jiang was very surprised.
"That's the Wang Village. This is the first time I've heard of it!”
The entire manor was surrounded by high walls, and the scene inside could not be seen clearly.
Li Gai whispered,"
"This mansion of his is actually…"
Before he could finish his sentence, a group of people rushed out of Wang Jian's residence.
There was a carriage in the group.
The knights were all whipping their warhorses. They looked very anxious.
Xu Jiang hurriedly led his horse to the side of the road.
~
The team swept past them like the wind. In the carriage, a guard was carrying a person covered in blood.
Xu Jiang noticed that the five knights were also injured.
Everyone was anxious and panicking!
Li Gai was shocked.
"Something happened to Marquis Wucheng's family?"
In Xu Jiang's consciousness, the system's voice sounded,"
