27. Go climb the wall in the middle of the night

After leaving the Jiang family with his household registration documents and coming to the newly built house, the emotion left by Boss Jiang who had been lingering in Jiang Zhen's chest disappeared.

Before, even if this emotion could not be affected by Jiang Zhen, it would have been heavy in his heart, but now Jiang Zhen can no longer feel its existence.

Boss Jiang is probably completely gone.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhen felt a little sad. He got the body of Boss Jiang, and got the memory of Boss Jiang, and was able to live in this ancient world, but Boss Jiang... the man who had never lived a good life was dead.

Jiang Zhen felt a little sympathetic to Boss Jiang, but he only felt sympathy for him for a while, and he still had a lot to do.

Building houses in the countryside does not require bricks and tiles. They only need to build earthen walls, build beams, and use bamboo and thatch to make a roof. The construction speed is very fast. Jiang Zhen’s house was built even faster with the help of people from all over the village. However, although the house has been built, it is actually not suitable for living.

There are no blue bricks and stone slabs on the ground, only mud floors are laid. The house is already very wet, and the newly built mud walls have increased the humidity by a level. There are still many things in the house...

Jiang Zhen first packed up a house to store grain, and then locked the chicken he got from the Jiang family in a broken thatched hut that had not been demolished. He sprinkled a handful of millet for it, and then began to toss his house.

Perhaps in order to build the house for him as soon as possible, the villagers did not build the chimney for the house to be prepared with a certain technical content. The mud stove built for him for cooking was very simple. It looked like a circle that could build a pot, but at least it could be used. Because it was low, there was no need to worry about burning the thatch on it.

Some straw and mulberry strips were moved back from the thatched hut and put them in the mud stove to ignite. While dispelling the moisture in the house, Jiang Zhen thought about it and lit fires in various parts of the house.

All the doors and windows were opened, and after the small fires were ignited, the moisture on the surface of the house almost dissipated. As for the moisture in the mud wall, I don’t have to worry about it.

There was actually not much furniture moved from Jiang Chengxiang's house. Jiang Zhen sorted it out and put it in the house, and then he found that he was still missing a lot of things.

He doesn't have tables and chairs that every household has, and he still lacks many daily necessities... It seems that he will have to go to the county town tomorrow.

After cleaning up the house, Jiang Zhen went to the thatched cottage after the house was rebuilt.

His thatched cottage specially built a house, but the pit... the villagers actually dug a pit casually!

Jiang Zhen was a little reluctant to accept such a simple thatched cottage, so he planned to renovate it, at least dig a passage below and then dig a septic tank outside to avoid the smell in his thatched cottage.

Jiang Zhen, who took naps every day a few days ago, did not take a nap this day for the first time. He was digging a pit and humming songs, and he was in a very good mood.

However, he was in a good mood, so the Jiang family was not in a good mood.

Even if the Jiang family is still rich, it will probably take two years to recover.

"Why didn't the killer killer die?" Old Mrs. Jiang scolded Jiang Zhen while rubbing the pig's intestine with salt.

After Jiang Zhen killed the pig, he didn't give them a piece of meat. All that was left was a mess and a pile of pig intestines and half a bucket of pig blood. These were also considered good things. Old Mrs. Jiang naturally couldn't bear to throw it away, so she just dealt with it while cursing.

Sister Jiang listened to Mrs. Jiang's scolding silently.

She was afraid of Jiang Zhen before, but now Jiang Zhen has left. Looking back, she found that Jiang Zhen did nothing to her except snatching her egg. The fear has dissipated a lot. Now that she heard Mrs. Jiang scolding, she couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to her elder brother.

Her second and third brothers married their wives, and they spent dozens of taels of silver as bride gifts and furniture. They even used several stones of grain to serve as wedding banquets to make wedding cakes. The things her elder brother took were actually not much.

However, it’s not interesting to think about this now. She might as well think about how to find a rich and good husband’s family... A few days ago, she heard her mother say she wanted to find a family that was willing to give her more brides, so that she could use brides to pay off her debts.

Jiang Xiaomei has no idea about using her bride gift to repay the family’s debt. When the girls in the village get married, the bride gifts are basically all for their parents. If parents can give a few taels of silver to prepare some quilts of furniture in the box, they love their daughter. Now she wants to choose a good one among those who are willing to give more bride gifts so that they will not have to live a hard life in the future.

When Jiang Xiaomei was worried about her marriage, Jiang Chengxiang sent Yang Jiang, whom he invited home a few days ago, back to the county town.

Along the way, Jiang Chengxiang kept apologizing to Yang Jiang, but Yang Jiang ignored him. After arriving at the county town, Yang Jiang even tugged Jiang Chengxiang with the knife in his hand: "Get out of here!"

Jiang Chengxiang was just a thin scholar. After being kicked like this, he staggered and no longer dared to follow Yang Jiang.

As for Yang Jiang...

He looked at his hands and suddenly realized why his movements were... so similar to the movements of the evil star in the Jiang family?

Thinking of the evil star of the Jiang family, Yang Jiang suddenly felt that everything was hurt.

Although the evil star has not beat him too seriously these days, he has been thrusting and kicking from time to time, but it has also caused him to be covered in bruises and there is no piece of flesh on his body.

He was still tired and hungry... Although the evil star asked him to eat at noon today, he only let him take a small bite!

Yang Jiang walked home quickly, planning to eat something first and sleep for a while before thinking about something else.

The Yang family has a small yard in the county town, and as soon as Yang Jiang entered the yard, he saw his wife feeding chickens in the yard.

The yard he was familiar with was drying a lot of clothes, and all kinds of things were neatly organized around him. His eldest son was not there, and his younger son, a four-year-old young Shuanger was playing with a few pieces of wood in the corner.

"Yang Jiang, where have you been? Why haven't you been home for two days or the yamen?" When Yang Jiang's wife saw Yang Jiang, she let go of the dustpan containing the millet and walked over. She asked while walking, "Did you go gamble again? How much did you lose?"

Yang Jiang is usually the most impatient with this woman chatting around him, but he has suffered these days, and hearing such concerns again makes him feel warm.

"I'm fine." Yang Jiang said: "Go me some food, hurry up."

"Okay." Yang Jiang's wife immediately went to the kitchen to work hard.

"Wait," Yang Jiang stopped her, "Fry me a bowl of eggs with bacon!" God knows how greedy the evil star was when he was eating this dish these days...

I have to buy fresh meat, but the bacon is still rich, and the family will prepare some at home. Yang Jiang's wife cut a small piece of bacon in a short while, cut it into thin strips, and used it to stir-fry two eggs. At noon, they brought the remaining rice to Yang Jiang.

Yang Jiang held the bowl and feasted. After a few bites of food, he felt that he had come back to life.

"Eat slowly, don't eat too fast, be careful to choke, why don't I go and make you some soup?" Yang Jiang's wife asked.

"No need." Yang Jiang said, when the soup is ready, he will definitely finish the meal.

Just as she was thinking about this, Yang Jiang suddenly had his youngest son standing not far away, drooling at the scrambled eggs on his table.

He is a yamen runner. He can receive two taels of silver from the yamen a month. He can also receive filial piety from the lower house from time to time. He can share some extra money with his colleagues. He can earn more than ten or twenty taels a month. In this way, his son can eat meat every day, but in fact...

He took the money to gamble, bought things for his good looks, and drank spicy food by himself, but he refused to get money from home.

His colleague's children can go to school. His eldest son is seven years old and is still playing with people in the alley.

"What are you watching? Go outside to play." Yang Jiang's wife saw her youngest son staring at Yang Jiang's scrambled eggs and kept watching. She was afraid that Yang Jiang would be angry, so she took a photo of the child.

"What are you doing to beat the child?" Yang Jiang felt a trembling when he saw his wife shouting at his second son. He had already understood the little things about the Jiang family. It was completely caused by Mrs. Jiang's harsh treatment of her son. He should not fall into that situation!

"Come on, Ermao, come to Dad, I will give you eggs." Yang Jiang smiled at his younger son.

Yang Ermao, who had no serious name, shrank his neck and looked at Yang Jiang with a little fear, which made Yang Jiang feel a little uncomfortable.

Yang Jiang ate half of the bowl of bacon and fried eggs, and asked his wife to share the rest with the two children. After that, he took out two taels of silver from his body and gave it to his wife.

The two taels of silver were brought with him before he went to the Jiang family. Jiang Zhen kept beating him, but he didn't take away his silver.

After Yang Jiang gave the money, he went back to the room to sleep. In the end, the fragrance from the kitchen woke him up.

It was the smell of braised pork! Yang Jiang didn't care about the soreness on his body, so he quickly got up from the bed, and went to the kitchen with saliva.

His wife bought a pork rib and made a bowl of braised pork. The meat was so savory that it looked very delicious.

Yang Jiang is the only son. His parents have been spoiled and loved him since childhood, which has made him develop a ignorant nature. Usually, he can put a bowl of meat on the table with half a bowl of meat alone, but now...

After picking a piece of meat for the two children and their parents and their wives, Yang Jiang suddenly found that there was only one piece left in the bowl... I think that if he usually eats a few more pieces, someone will have no choice but to eat them.

"I don't like meat..." Yang Jiang's wife put the meat in her bowl to Yang Jiang.

"No, no, you eat it yourself." Yang Jiang refused his wife and mixed the braised pork soup into his bowl. He ate two big bowls of rice with this piece of meat. After eating, he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two children looking at him with a little closer look.

Yang Jiang was serving him at home, but Jiang Zhen was the only one who was alone at this moment.

In the afternoon, he cooked the pork bones while cooking, and cooked a large pot of bone soup. As a result, when he wanted to throw some vegetables into the bone soup and cook a pot of rice, he suddenly found that... he had no rice to cook.

The Jiang family gave Wushi grain, but it was all rice with shells, not brown rice with shells!

So, if he wants to eat, he has to pound rice first... But he doesn't have the tools to pound rice.

Forget it, even if you don’t have tools, there are other ways to get some rice...

Jiang Zhen put the rice into a bamboo tube and kept pounding it with a stick. Finally, he made a bowl of rice with some shells for himself.

He picked up half of the pork bones in the pot and the soup with a gourd ladle. Jiang Zhen poured the bowl of rice that he had finally made into the bone soup left in the pot, then cut off a leaf of pork liver, cut it into small pieces and threw it into the pot.

As for the remaining meat, as well as pig heart and pork belly, Jiang Zhen thought it would be better to keep it and eat it slowly, so he took out a can of salt brought from the Jiang family and marinated it.

And when he marinated the meat, he had almost used up the can of salt.

It seems that I have to go to the county town tomorrow. Jiang Zhen thought about it this way and began to stuff firewood into the mud stove and cook pork liver porridge.

He needs to consume protein and fat now, but vegetables are also indispensable... Seeing that the porridge was almost cooked, Jiang Zhen went out and stole a lettuce at Zhao Jinge's house...

This is when there is really no way. Who told the Jiang family not to grow vegetables in this field for him? Other people's families are a little far away?

However, the vegetables in the countryside are not valuable, so it is actually nothing he can take a vegetable for him. Moreover, he plans to give Zhao Jin Ge half of the porridge.

Jiang Zhen chopped the lettuce and lettuce leaves, waited for the porridge to be ready, and finally prepared his own supper.

After eating pork liver porridge, Jiang Zhen chewed the bones that could be chewed in the porridge and ate them down.

Judging from Boss Jiang’s memory, when people killed pigs or bought meat and left with pig bones, they not only used pig bones to make soup, but also chopped the pig bones into small pieces and cooked for a long time. Then... except for the part in the middle of the cylindrical bones that cannot be bitten and cannot be eaten, some bones that can be cooked soft will be chewed and eaten directly.

If others eat this way, he will not waste it. After all, his body is probably a bit calcium-deficient.

It is said that bone soup does not actually supplement calcium. He chews bones and eats it all supplement calcium?

Jiang Zhen had enough food and drink, and it was already dark. He lit a fire in his house, then roasted the fire while pounding rice in the flames, and waited for the night to be quiet.

When it's late at night, Brother Zhao Jin is coming to find him!

Jiang Zhen was in a happy mood and pounded rice for almost two hours. Even though he used a bamboo tube, he had enough rice for several days. However, he still couldn't wait for Brother Zhao Jin to come.

Brother Zhao Jin was not planning to come today? Jiang Zhen frowned and threw away the bamboo tube in his hand, and decided to go climbing the wall.

It is already around 10 o'clock in the evening. It is already completely dark and the villagers are sleeping. Jiang Zhen came to the Zhao family's house and gently knocked on Zhao Jin's window.

After a while, the window was opened, and it was obvious that Brother Zhao Jin was not sleeping either.

Is this shy and embarrassed to come to him and wait for him?

"Brother Jin, come out." Jiang Zhen said.

"I'm going to sleep..." said Brother Zhao Jin.
