The dead general was kidnapped by his husband and taken to farm.

Chapter 112 Departure2

Ji Yinghuai turned his head and looked at him, the coldness on his body dissipated a little: "The matter has been investigated almost, and I have to go there in person to handle the remaining things. It's been so long, it's time to put an end to it."

For himself and for those brothers who died in vain.

The palm he was holding was big and hot. Jiang Shian pursed his lips. He also knew that it would be very dangerous for Ji Yinghuai to go back this time. It would be unrealistic to ask him not to go. The man had his own things to do.

"Shi'an, don't worry. I promise you that I will come back to see you in half a month at the latest, okay?" Ji Yinghuai looked at the worry in Jiang Shi'an's eyes, smiled, and raised his hand to touch Jiang Shi'an's cheek.

Jiang Shian didn't dodge, letting the man's rough, calloused fingers caress his cheek: "Okay, I believe you, but you have to protect yourself and don't get hurt. I'll wait for you at home."

"Okay." When he heard the word "home", Ji Yinghuai felt warm in his heart. It had been a long time since anyone told him that someone was still waiting for him. He still had a home.

Ji Yinghuai is leaving tomorrow, so they have to go back and pack up.

The shop was bustling with people coming and going. Things were placed on wooden shelves. The left shelf contained soap, and the right shelf contained perfumed soap. There were wooden signs on each shelf. You could take what you wanted, and the clerk would just look for what was missing and replenish it.

Everyone who was buying things knew Jiang Shian, and when they saw him come out, many people greeted him with a smile.

Jiang Shian smiled faintly and responded with a few words. After the people left, he told the two employees, "I have something else to do at home, so I'll leave the shop to you two. If you have anything, you can come to my house tomorrow to find me."

"No problem, boss, don't worry, we know."

After explaining everything, the two set off back to the countryside.

Judging from the sky, it is almost You time.

The sun hadn't completely set yet and it was still very hot sitting on the outside of the carriage.

There were many pedestrians carrying baskets on their backs, their faces covered with sweat. There were also a few men carrying shoulder poles, and the two men could clearly see that half of their backs were wet.

People were sitting in the carriage, with the curtain half lifted.

This was not the first time that Ji Yinghuai had gone out to do business. Logically, Jiang Shian would not be so anxious, but this time he felt a little nervous. He always felt that Ji Yinghuai would encounter some danger, and he could not calm down.

After being together for such a long time, Ji Yinghuai was a careful person and he knew what Jiang Shian was worried about after just a little observation.

He raised his hand and lowered the other half of the curtain, and the light in the car suddenly dimmed.

Ji Yinghuai reached out and held Jiang Shian's wrist. Jiang Shian thought he was just holding hands, but he didn't expect the man to pull him onto his legs with force.

He fell steadily into Ji Yinghuai's arms.

"Don't move, let me hug you." The man's voice came from above his head, and the warm breath from his nose sprayed on his cheek, which instantly calmed his originally anxious mood.

"I left Yingmo here with you. In case you are too busy or encounter danger, Yingmo can help you. I feel uneasy leaving you alone when I am not here." Ji Yinghuai said.

"But what about you?" Jiang Shi'an was worried about Ji Yinghuai. The journey was long and the dangers were unpredictable. The biggest threat to him in the countryside was someone shortsighted enough to come and provoke him. He was quite skilled and could protect himself.

Ji Yinghuai put his arms around his waist, and this position made the two of them closer together. He could feel the vibration of his chest behind him while he spoke.

"I know my limits. I won't go back suddenly unless I'm absolutely sure." His main purpose this time was to spy on the matter. If things were almost handled, that person would definitely send someone over.

He was a little worried about Jiang Shian being here alone. As the business of the shop was getting better and better, it was inevitable that some people would be jealous and have evil intentions. A few days ago, there were waves of people sent to the door to inquire about the news or to inquire about the production methods in a roundabout way.

Not to mention being the only business in the town, the goods ordered by these traveling merchants are enough to make those people jealous. If Yingmo is left behind, a hundred of these goods will not be enough to fight against them. He will feel more at ease if he goes to the capital.

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Jiang Shian nodded in agreement without refusing.

After returning home, Ji Yinghuai was packing things in the room, and Jiang Shian went to the back of the house.

The people in the workshop are still busy. Fortunately, the workshop is large, so although there are many people, it is not messy and is well organized.

It's not heavy work and it's not too tiring to do, and the wages are high. Everyone is afraid of missing out on such a good job and not being able to find a better one. Not to mention being lazy, they even have to hurry up when going to the toilet.

There was a meal for more than twenty people in the morning, including four or five young men. Jiang Shian asked Aunt Huang to come and help cook. With the recipe and the help of the bought Fengnian, Aunt Huang was able to handle it.

All the finished soaps were packed into bamboo tubes. Rows of wooden racks of different sizes were placed in the yard, and the bamboo tubes were placed on them one by one to be roasted.

Now that the weather is getting hotter, it takes two days instead of three to solidify. Then we take it out, cut it into boxes, and take it to the town to sell it.

The workshop is divided into two sides. The smaller area on the left is used for making soap. Most of the people working here are young men. They are more careful and have nimble hands.

There were four stoves in total, two for boiling oil, and the other two for burning wood ash and shell powder.

There is such a long river and no one has ever picked up the shells left on the river bank before. This thing is not valuable, but it is just right for Jiang Shian to use it now.

As soon as Jiang Shian approached, he heard the voices of several young men talking.

"Our shopkeeper Jiang is really amazing. How can a young man do such a good business?"

"That's right. I told my mother that I came here to work, and she said I had no future. Why did I come here instead of learning embroidery at home?"

"Humph! No matter how good the embroidery is, you can't get the money from selling it. Not only do we get more money working here, but we can also save it. Whether it's for dowry or buying things, having money in hand is the real thing. My sister-in-law always says that I only eat and don't work. These days I can make money myself, so I can finally shut her up, and even my mother can stand up straight."

"Speaking of which, there were a few people at the door today, looking around furtively. I wonder what they were doing?"

When the others heard this, they paused and sneered, "What else could they be here for? Of course they're here to steal things. I heard that our business is very good, so naturally there are people who want to steal our skills. A few days ago, someone came to my house and asked me to work for him. As long as I tell him what I know, he'll pay me double."

"Double?" The person next to him looked surprised.

The young man who was speaking had a calm expression on his face. He rolled his eyes before speaking, "Let's not talk about how good it is for us to follow this shopkeeper. We have never lost our wages and we can get advance payments. We can't get such good things elsewhere. Besides, I won't do such a treacherous thing. Don't forget that we all signed the so-called agreement. The red handprint is still there! If it gets leaked, we will go bankrupt and can't afford the compensation."

The person next to him, who was originally tempted by the double salary, waved his hand angrily after hearing this: "I just said it casually. Besides, we are all young men. Whether people will accept us if we go somewhere else is another matter. Let's just stay here."

The rest of the people all nodded in agreement. As they were talking, they suddenly noticed some embarrassment on their companions' faces. They all looked up at the same time and saw Jiang Shian standing behind them.

Fortunately, the boss did not look unhappy, but looked at them with a smile. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and quickly greeted them: "The boss is here."

"Well, let's take a look and see if you have adapted." Jiang Shian asked casually.

Several people nodded hurriedly, Jiang Shian smiled, chatted with them for a few words, and then asked: "Is there always someone at the door? Is it a stranger or..."

The young man who saw someone at the door thought for a moment and said, "I originally thought he was someone from town, but I saw him several times in your village."

"Oh!" Jiang Shian raised his eyebrows. Is he someone from the village?
