Not only dirty, but also broken.
This can be seen from the gate of the house alone, where the lock is rusty.
I don't know what kind of wood the wooden door is made of. When I take a quick look, I can immediately see irregular cracks on the door.
Following the dilapidated and cobwebbed gate, the threshold was cracked in two, each standing stubbornly.
Suddenly, a bug crawled over, the thin and broken door swayed, and with two "clangs", it fell to the ground and died...
Everyone in the Ye family: "......"
"Well, let's move the things in first." Chu Qi put his fist to his lips, coughed dryly, and said.
There are not many important belongings in the house, mostly clothes, shoes, socks, pots, pans, etc.
The second is some furniture such as tables and stools that can be moved.
The Eight Immortals Table that the Ye family usually used was too big and heavy, so it was left in the ancestral home. They planned to buy another one or use the one used by the former county magistrate.
What's more important is the daily necessities of life.
The food is not much, and you can always buy more anyway.
After all, it is a place where people live together. No matter how poor it is, there will be a market for doing business.
Once you enter the courtyard, the situation there becomes clearer.
Not only was the gate of the house dilapidated, but the interior was also in great shabby condition.
There was no furniture or anything like that. There were signs that the place had been dismantled, probably taken away by the county magistrate.
Fortunately, the kitchen is still intact and has an extra-large octagonal table that can accommodate at least fifteen people.
.....Perhaps because it was heavy, it was kept, just like the one in the Ye family.
After everyone chose their own room and put their things away, it was already noon.
But I’m too tired to cook.
Chu Qi decided to go out and order lunch and go home, and leave the matter of finding a chef for tomorrow.
Take things one at a time, don't rush.
Li Xue also helped a lot, her cheeks were red from tiredness. If Chu Qi wanted to go out, she wanted to follow.
Different from the powerful foxes in picture books, Li Xue's inherited memories are only about practicing how to control herself so as not to reveal her true identity, and she does not have any fighting techniques.
It's not enough to work in isolation. Any method needs a guide. Li Xue only had a little intelligence before, and she was able to transform thanks to the opportunity of the locust tree.
Otherwise, you have to rely on yourself until the next life.
Pingyao County is not big and has a small population. Chu Qi walked for three cups of tea before he finally found a restaurant.
It was lunch time and diners were sitting together in groups of three or four in the restaurant.
When Chu Qi stopped at the door with a donkey-drawn cart, it attracted the attention of some diners in the inn.
The imperial court distributed uniform official uniforms to county magistrates, and Chu Qi put it on because he was going to take over from the former county magistrate.
He had not had time to change yet, and his dark blue official uniform made him stand out among the ordinary people.
A young man in a dark gown took a sip of soup. When he looked up, he saw a young man in the official uniform of a county magistrate walking in. His face was extremely unfamiliar. He was so frightened that he almost choked to death.
"What...what is that?" the young man whispered to his companion.
His companion said indifferently: "The new county magistrate just arrived today. Brother Lin, didn't you go to join in the fun today?"
Pingyao County may be poor, but it is full of gossip.
When Chu Qi entered the county gate, there were at least several hundred people gathered at the gate, and both sides of the street were filled with people, all wanting to catch a glimpse of the new county magistrate.
Wow, it is said that he is the first place in this year's imperial examination.
Why can't you think of coming to this crappy place?
Hearing that he was handsome enough to be the third place in the imperial examination, the people also wanted to see how handsome he was.
Look, today I finally got my chance.
The rumors are true!
It looks really good!
After seeing enough of the excitement, the people went home contentedly to share gossip with their families.
Chu Qi and Li Xue entered the restaurant together and found an empty table to sit down.
The waiter didn't dare to neglect him and quickly ran over with a warm smile:
"Hello, County Magistrate."
"Yeah." Chu Qi nodded: "Does your restaurant have any signature dishes?"
The waiter replied:
"Master, our signature dishes include boiled chicken, squirrel mandarin fish, and fried shrimp. Which one would you like to eat?"
Estimating the appetite of his family, Chu Qi thought for a moment and ordered two servings of each of the three signature dishes. He also bought a few side dishes that were not signature dishes but sounded delicious from the names.
Because white rice is expensive, the restaurant sells very little white rice, and most of it is millet. Chu Qi was not picky and bought enough millet for twelve people.
Because Chu Qi bought a large quantity, the restaurant readily sent a waiter to help deliver it to her home.
Chu Qi strolled out of the restaurant and slowly went back with Li Xue in a donkey cart.
Ye Youze was informed in advance by his younger brother that he would not cook lunch today, so he lay down in the master bedroom chosen by him and his wife and rested with an empty stomach.
Although there is only a wooden bed in the master bedroom, it doesn’t matter. You can just put a bed sheet on it and use it.
Lying on the bed, Ye Youze was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back. Zhuang Qiuling looked at him with amusement and touched his belly every once in a while.
"Are you really that hungry? Do you want to eat some peaches?"
She brought in a plate with sliced peach flesh and placed it on the table.
——This table was also moved from the ancestral home.
"eat!"
Ye Youze quickly picked up a piece with a bamboo stick, but instead of putting it into his own mouth, he put it to his wife's mouth and said with a smile:
"A Ling eats first."
Zhuang Qiuling smiled and bit it off, "It's sweet."
"Hehe." Ye Youze smiled innocently and ate a piece as well.
The couple finished the whole plate of peaches, piece by piece.
After eating some fruit pulp, I finally felt less hungry.
Ye Youze regained some energy and began to pack his luggage.
