Chapter 199 Like (Part 2)
Jiang Zhiluo was amazed when she saw this scene.
He is really tall and has long legs. When I was giving him acupuncture, his body was so perfect.
Although she looks thin in clothes, she is actually very charming.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhiluo's face felt slightly hot.
However, Jiang Zhiluo could also clearly feel that Cui Hejin's health had improved a lot and he didn't look so frail anymore.
Seeing that his health was getting better, she was sincerely happy for him.
However, repairing the meridians and restoring martial arts skills cannot be accomplished overnight.
Jiang Zhiluo waved to Cui Hejin and drove the ox cart home.
Cui Hejin stood there watching her figure until he could no longer see her before preparing to return to school.
At this time, a little boy was about to enter the school. He came to Cui Hejin and said, "Master Cui, who are you looking at?"
Cui Hejin gently stroked the little boy's hair and said, "I'm looking at your master's wife."
The little boy acted like a grown-up and said suddenly, "Oh, I see. The Master likes his wife very much."
Cui Hejin paused what he was doing, looked at him with amusement and said, "You are so young, do you know what love is?"
"I know, I know. My brother said that missing someone means you like them."
Cui Hejin's expression changed, and his face became more serious, as if he was thinking about something.
After a moment of silence, he took the little boy's hand and said, "Okay, come into the classroom quickly. Class will start soon."
The little boy entered the yard, and as if thinking of something, he looked up at Cui Hejin and said, "Master, Master's wife is so good. If it were me, I would like Master's wife too."
"You're still a child."
"I will grow up."
The little boy emphasized seriously.
Cui Hejin pinched his brows with his fingers, his eyes dark and mysterious, but he said to the little boy gently and seriously: "Your master's wife is my wife. When you grow up, you will like other girls, understand?"
The little boy seemed to understand but not quite, and pouted, "But I think Master's Wife is good."
Cui Hejin was helpless, "Forget it, you will understand when you grow up."
Thinking of how his little wife was liked by the students, Cui Hejin couldn't help but laugh and shook his head slightly.
…
Jiang Zhiluo had no idea about this little episode. She was very happy to have bought the ox cart and couldn't wait to go home and tell Mrs. Cui about it.
"It really feels different sitting on a bullock cart than walking."
If you walk, you have to carry things on your back and look at the road below your feet, and you can't really appreciate the scenery around you.
But sitting on the ox cart, you can freely enjoy the surrounding scenery and the pastoral scenery.
The wheat in the field has grown a bit, and the whole field is green. Some vegetables have also sprouted new leaves.
When passing by the river, Jiang Zhiluo also discovered several large locust trees.
Her expression changed, and she looked up at the locust tree. "In a few days, we can pick the locust tree flowers."
Sophora japonica flowers can be used to make Sophora japonica flower dumplings.
I've never made buns since I came here.
Thinking of the delicious food that can be made from locust trees, Jiang Zhiluo's eyes lit up when she looked at these locust trees.
When we arrived at the village, some people were basking in the sun under the big trees, while others were washing clothes in the river, chatting and laughing.
During the slack season, when people are not too busy, they will take the time to take apart, wash, dry and sew up some of their winter cotton-padded clothes, quilts, mattresses, etc. for use in the winter.
Some people will take advantage of this time to raise more chickens, ducks and geese, save the eggs and sell them to supplement their family income.
So there are many people on the streets now.
There were also some strong men who went out to find work, but it was not easy to find work, so most people stayed at home and usually carried hoes to the mountains to see how the crops in the fields were 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 the rain is not so frequent, and in order to ensure that the crops grow well, everyone has to work hard to carry water from the river to irrigate the fields.
Therefore, people in this era still rely on the weather for their livelihood.
When the weather is good, the harvest will be good.
If there is drought or excessive flooding, crops will be affected.
Everyone saw Jiang Zhiluo coming back in an oxcart. There was no one around. An old lady greeted her and said, "Oh, Zhiluo is back. You're coming back in an oxcart. Did you buy one?"
Everyone couldn't help but look at the ox cart with envy in their eyes.
A cow costs at least ten taels of silver, which is really unaffordable for ordinary people.
Everyone can only look and envy.
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and replied, "Yes, Auntie, I just bought an ox cart."
Someone said sourly: "That will cost a lot of money."
Jiang Zhiluo said, "Eleven taels of silver and five hundred coins. As you all know, I've been doing some small business recently, and I used the money I earned to buy an oxcart."
"Your family is truly capable. You built a big house and bought an oxcart so quickly."
"Yes, this kind of business is not something that ordinary people can do."
It’s not like no one in the village has ever set up a small stall before, and everyone knows that it’s not easy to do small business.
You have to have good products, be able to speak well, and be able to do the math.
Jiang Zhiluo encouraged everyone, saying, "I think anyone with a little skill, like making handicrafts or snacks, can set up a stall in town. Or you can also set up a stall at the market in Yangliu Village."
Although everyone was tempted, they were also timid and did not dare to try it.
Besides, most people can only tinker with the fields and make some ordinary food, and they don’t have any cooking skills.
Nowadays, people who have a skill will not teach it to others casually. Even if they take in an apprentice, they will keep their skills to themselves and will not teach them all.
Besides, doing business making noodles also requires costs. People are reluctant to waste noodles to try to make food. That is a waste.
Everyone joked for a while and then stopped talking about it.
Jiang Zhiluo said hello to everyone and went home.
Mrs. Cui was baking bread, and the house was filled with fragrance.
The gate was very wide. Jiang Zhiluo drove the ox cart inside and said, "Mom, look, I bought the ox cart."
When she heard about the ox cart, Mrs. Cui was so happy that she quickly put down the firewood in her hand and ran over to take a look.
"My goodness, it really is an ox cart."
"Now that we have an ox cart, it will be convenient for us to go anywhere."
Mrs. Cui touched the cow excitedly.
Back then, she didn’t take the Duke’s Mansion’s many fine carriages seriously.
Now that we have an ox cart, we are very excited.
The environment is different though.
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "Well, it cost eleven taels of silver and five hundred coins."
Madam Cui said, "Why does it feel more expensive than during the busy farming season? I remember it was only ten taels of silver back then."
Jiang Zhiluo explained, "The people at the carriage and horse shop said that many people have been buying ox carts and horse carts recently."
Mrs. Cui asked doubtfully, "That shouldn't be the case."
As if she had thought of something, Madam Cui's expression became serious and she said, "Zhiluo, do you think there will be a war and chaos outside?"
Jiang Zhiluo's expression also froze, "Why did mother say that?"
Madam Cui said, "I remember when I was in the capital, when there was a war or something happened outside, people would buy more carriages if they needed to escape."
"When I was a kid, there was a time when our Yun State was in a state of intense internal strife. When the fighting reached a certain state capital, some people would buy carriages and leave the state capital to go somewhere else in order to avoid being affected."
