Chapter 85 Fell into a pit
Bad luck?
Zhang was stunned at first, then nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yes, it's quite unlucky."
Jiang Chunhe, in particular, had extremely bad luck.
First, he couldn't find anything in the mountains, and then he was hit by a roof. He was so badly injured that even the meat Jiang Youcheng brought when he came to visit was taken away by a wild cat...
Even when he was working on weekdays, Jiang Chunhe would either bump into things here or there, and his body was often covered with bruises, which was very strange.
"It's all because of the third house." Zhang was angry, "It's all because of that damn girl Jiang Mixia and her son-in-law!"
All the bad luck started when those two evildoers beat Jiang Chunhe...
Jiang Chunhe was thinking about these things, but his expression was complicated.
He asked Jiang Mixia for a rabbit, but the rabbit was not returned to him, and as a result, he could never catch a rabbit again.
He wanted to instigate Jiang Datou to go to Jiang Youcheng's house to cause trouble, but the roof collapsed the next day. As luck would have it, there was a big cut on the corner of his mouth, and there is still a scar...
Since last year until now, Jiang Chunhe feels that nothing has gone smoothly for him, and he has been filled with terrible bad luck.
Why do I feel like this Third Uncle's family is just weird? "Mom, Third Uncle's family is unlucky if it's not handled properly. It's unlucky every time you get involved." Jiang Chunhe said with a bitter face, "I think we should not go to eat the big pot dishes and not cause any more trouble."
Jiang Chunhe was really a little scared.
The last time the roof collapsed, he felt like he was going to die. Jiang Chunhe never wanted to experience that feeling of suffocation where his heart almost stopped beating again in his life.
"What kind of trouble can we cause?" Zhang said nonchalantly, "The third branch is unlucky and should not be touched. But this time it's not the third branch's problem, it's Zhu Yongwu's family's problem. How come the third branch's bad luck can also affect his family?"
Seeing Jiang Chunhe's unwillingness to go, Zhang was a little angry. "I always said you were brave and capable, why are you like this now?"
"I think you were brought here by Wu. You are as timid as a mouse!"
Wu, who was mentioned for no reason, felt aggrieved, but did not dare to speak.
Seeing Jiang Chunhe and Wu acting like quails, Zhang became furious and snatched the bowl from Jiang Chunhe's hand, "Stay home, I'll go!"
After saying that, he took the large bowl and went out.
"What...what should we do? Should we call mother back?" Mrs. Wu asked cautiously.
"You go?" Jiang Chunhe replied unhappily.
Wu didn't dare to stop Zhang and quickly lowered her head.
"Go make a fire and cook." Jiang Chunhe ordered.
Now he didn't want to touch anything related to the third room, and he didn't dare to eat the big pot of food that was brought back.
What if bad luck really comes over me and my throat gets stuck, and I choke to death?
"Okay." After receiving her husband's instructions, Mrs. Wu breathed a sigh of relief. She coaxed the child to play somewhere else and went into the kitchen to busy herself.
Sweet potato noodles are mixed with some white flour noodles and cooked with spinach. A little bit of lard is added and it tastes delicious.
Jiang Youcai also came back with a hoe on his back. He frowned when he saw the smell coming out of the kitchen. "Why is the meal ready? Didn't your mother go to Zhu Yongwu's house to ask for the big pot of food?"
“Dad, I…”
Jiang Chunhe opened his mouth to defend himself.
But before he could finish his words, he heard shouting from outside.
"Uncle Youcai, Brother Chunhe."
The sound came from far away. Jiang Yintian from the village ran to the door of his house, panting. Seeing Jiang Youcai and Jiang Chunhe were at home, he breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Go to your house quickly, Aunt Zhang has fallen into a pit!"
Fell into a pit? Jiang Youcai and Jiang Chunhe were stunned.
"How did mother fall into the pit?" Mrs. Wu asked inquiringly.
"I heard that she was chased by a group of geese in the village. Aunt Zhang ran quickly, but accidentally fell into a pit..." Jiang Yintian said.
Just like the pit that was filled when Jiang Youcheng's family built a basket weaving workshop, there is more than one pit in Jiangjia Village. No one has been willing to fill the pit for a long time. In addition, there is a pit in the village. When it rains in summer, there will be a lot of water in the pit, and the ducks, geese, etc. raised by everyone will have a place to find food.
Normally, anyone's snow, dirty water, etc. would have a place to dump it, so most of the pits were preserved. And because there was a lot of snow in the winter before the New Year, many households dumped the snow into the pits. The spring was not dry enough this year, so there was some water in the pits, which was splashed by ducks or geese and turned into mud.
The big geese in the village, no matter who raises them, are famous for their strong fighting power. Even the dogs in the village have to avoid them when they see them.
Zhang was being chased by a group of geese, so naturally she had to run, and she didn't even look at the road while running.
"What are you still standing there for..."
A grown man actually fell into a pit! Jiang Youcai felt very ashamed and hurriedly dragged Jiang Chunhe to look for Zhang.
Jiang Chunhe walked quickly along the way, but he was worried in his heart.
He just said that the third branch was weird and he didn't want to have anything to do with it. Now his worries have come true?
Jiang Chunhe couldn't help but shiver.
It was clearly March, but I broke out in a cold sweat. ——After entering March, the weather became warmer.
More than half of the apprentices in the bamboo weaving workshop have completed their apprenticeship and started formal work, getting paid by piecework.
There are still a few who need to wait a little longer because their skills are not up to standard yet, but judging from the situation, it will only take a month or so for them to catch up with the others.
As the weather warms up, the tea gardens begin to get busy.
The baskets used for drying tea leaves, mats, and bamboo baskets for picking tea are supposed to be durable goods that do not wear out often. However, the tea garden learned that the bamboo weaving workshop could weave waterproof bags and boxes, so they ordered a batch of waterproof bamboo boxes from the workshop to transport tea.
Although the tea will be sealed in cans or wrapped in oil paper, these things still need to be packed in boxes for easy transportation.
Since you have to use a box anyway, just use a bamboo waterproof box. It will provide an extra layer of waterproofing and an extra layer of insurance.
Although the tea here cannot be called top-grade and precious tea, the tea grown here is very fragrant because of the clear river water. It is quite popular among mid-range teas and has a considerable profit ratio.
Therefore, Butler Zhou is willing to spend more money on this thing to ensure the quality of the tea during transportation.
On the other hand, several orders came in from Zheng Ji.
Most of them are bamboo boxes for loading goods. Some are required to be simple, sturdy and usable, and it doesn’t matter if the appearance is a little rough, but the price must be cheap enough.
