Chapter 199: Like (second update)
Jiang Zhiluo was amazed when she saw this scene.
He is really tall and has slender legs, and when he was given acupuncture, his figure was also so perfect.
Although she looks thin with clothes on, she is actually very charming.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhiluo's face felt slightly hot.
However, Jiang Zhiluo can also clearly feel that Cui Hejin's health has improved a lot, and she doesn't look so weak anymore.
Seeing his health getting better, she was also sincerely happy for him.
Just repairing the meridians and restoring martial arts cannot be accomplished overnight.
Jiang Zhiluo waved to Cui Hejin and drove the bullock cart home.
Cui Hejin stood there and looked at her figure, and did not prepare to return to school until she was no longer visible.
At this time, a little boy was preparing to enter the school. He came to Cui Hejin and said, "Master Cui, who are you looking at?"
Cui Hejin gently touched the little boy's hair and said, "I'm looking at your wife."
The little boy looked like a young adult and suddenly said: "Oh, I know, the master likes the master's wife very much."
Cui Hejin moved his hands, looked at him funny and said, "You are so young, do you know what liking is?"
“I know, I know, my brother said it. My brother said that if you miss someone, you just like him.”
Cui Hejin's expression changed, and the expression on his face was restrained, looking thoughtful.
After a moment of silence, he took the little boy's hand and said, "Okay, come into the school quickly, class will start soon."
The little boy entered the courtyard and seemed to have thought of something. He looked up at Cui Hejin and said, "Master, the master's wife is so good. If it were me, I would also like the master's wife."
“You are still a child.”
“I will grow up.”
The little boy emphasized seriously.
Cui Hejin pinched the center of his eyebrows with his fingers. His eyes were dark and mysterious, but he said to the little boy gently and seriously: "Your wife is my wife. When you grow up, you will also like other girls. Do you understand?"
The little boy seemed to understand, and pouted: "But I think the teacher's wife is good."
Cui Hejin had no choice but, "That's it, you'll understand when you grow up."
Thinking of how his little wife was liked by the students, Cui Hejin also laughed dumbly and shook his head slightly.
…
Jiang Zhiluo didn't know about this incident at all. She was very happy to buy the oxcart and couldn't wait to go home and tell Mrs. Cui.
“Sure enough, the feeling of sitting on a bullock cart is different from walking.”
When walking, you have to carry things on your back and look at the road under your feet, so you cannot fully appreciate the surrounding scenery.
But sitting on the bullock cart, you can enjoy the surrounding scenery and pastoral scenery as much as you want.
The wheat in the field has grown a lot, and the scenery is green, and some vegetables have sprouted.
While passing by the river, Jiang Zhiluo also discovered several large locust trees.
Her expression changed, and she looked at the locust tree and said, "In a few days, we will be able to pick the locust tree flowers."
Sophora japonica flowers can be eaten in sophora japonica buns.
When I came here, I had never made any steamed buns to eat.
Thinking of the delicious food that locust trees can make, Jiang Zhiluo’s eyes sparkled when she looked at these locust trees.
When we came to the village, some people were basking in the sun under the big trees, and some were washing clothes in the river, talking and laughing.
During the off-season, when everyone is not too busy, they will take the time to unpack, wash, dry and sew some cotton-padded clothes, quilts, and mattresses from winter for reuse in the winter.
Some people will take advantage of this time to raise more chickens, ducks and geese, and save eggs, duck and goose eggs to sell to support their families.
So there will be a lot of people on the streets this time.
There are also some strong men who go out to find work, but it is not that easy to find work, so most of them stay at home and go up the mountain with their hoes to see how the crops are growing.
Weed and water from time to time. If there is a lot of rain, there is no need to irrigate the fields, but sometimes it does not rain so frequently. In order to ensure that the crops grow well, everyone has to work hard to carry water from the river to irrigate the fields.
So people in this era still rely on the sky for food.
When the weather is good, the grain harvest will be good.
If there is drought or flooding, crops will be affected.
Everyone saw Jiang Zhiluo coming back in an ox cart. There was no one else around. An aunt greeted her and said, "Oh, Zhi Luo is back. You are driving an ox cart back. Did you buy an ox cart?"
Everyone couldn't help but look at the bullock cart with envy in their eyes.
A cow costs at least ten taels of silver, and most people really can't afford it.
Everyone can only look at it and be greedy.
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and responded: "Yes, aunt, I just bought a bullock cart."
Someone said sourly: "That will cost a lot of money."
Jiang Zhiluo said: "Eleven taels of silver and five hundred Wen. Everyone knows that I have done some small business recently, and the money I earned was used to buy an oxcart."
“Your family is so capable that you built a big house and bought an ox cart so quickly.”
“Yes, this kind of business is not something ordinary people can do.”
It’s not like no one in the village has ever set up a small stall. They all know that setting up a stall to do small business is not that easy.
The things must be good, you must also be able to speak well, and you must also be able to settle accounts.
Jiang Zhiluo encouraged everyone: "I think if you have some small skills, you can make some handicrafts or snacks and set up a stall in the town. Or you can set up a stall in Yangliu Village when going to the market."
Although everyone is a little excited, they are also timid and dare not try it.
Furthermore, most of the people can only make some ordinary food by manipulating the fields, but they don’t have any skills.
Those who are good at crafts these days will not teach others casually. Even if they accept apprentices, they will retain their craftsmanship and will not teach all of them to their apprentices.
Besides, doing business and making pasta also requires costs. We can’t bear to waste noodles trying to make food. That’s called waste.
Everyone joked for a while and said no more.
Jiang Zhiluo went home after saying hello to everyone.
Mrs. Cui is baking bread, and the house is filled with fragrance.
The gate was very wide. Jiang Zhiluo drove the ox cart in and said, "Mom, look, I bought the ox cart."
Upon hearing the bullock cart, Mrs. Cui was so happy that she quickly put down the firewood in her hand and ran over to take a look.
“My dear, it’s really an ox cart.”
“Our family now has a bullock cart, which will make it easier to go anywhere in the future.”
Mrs. Cui touched the cow excitedly.
I think back then, she didn’t take it seriously when there were so many good carriages in the Duke’s mansion.
Now that I have an ox cart, I am very excited.
The environment is still different.
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "Well, it cost eleven taels of silver and five hundred Wen."
Mrs. Cui said: "Why does it feel more expensive than during busy farming days? I remember it was only ten taels of silver at that time."
Jiang Zhiluo explained: "People who sell horses and carriages say that there are many people buying ox-carts and horse-drawn carriages recently."
Mrs. Cui said doubtfully: "It shouldn't be."
As if she thought of something, Mrs. Cui looked serious and said, "Zhiluo, do you think there will be a war and chaos outside?"
Jiang Zhiluo's expression also condensed, "Why did mother say that?"
Mrs. Cui said: "I remember when I was in the capital, when there was a war or something happened outside, someone would buy more carriages if they wanted to run away."
“When I was a child, there was a fierce fighting in Yunnan. In order to avoid being affected, some people would buy carriages and leave the state capital to go to other places in order to avoid being affected.”
