Chapter 271 Brought 2 Cars of Stuff Home
There were three carriages on the way back, and Lin Jingchen went to Xiao Nanchi's carriage.
There were a lot of things in their two carriages, so there was not enough space.
Jiang Ci and Lin Jingsheng were in the smaller carriage.
Lin Jingchen was afraid that Xiao Nanchi would be bored in the carriage, so he went over to keep him company.
The few days on the road passed quickly, and they first went to the Fanjian Restaurant for a meal.
Although it was not yet dinner time, the private room had been booked long ago.
So they sat at a big table on the second floor.
They had eaten the dishes at Fanjian Restaurant several times, and Jiang Ci would sometimes cook them at home.
Lin Jingchen, who had been away from home for half a year, had not eaten many dishes.
Not to mention Xiao Nanchi, who had never tasted the food in a mortal restaurant.
The drinks they ordered and the food in the restaurant were not what surprised the two people the most.
The most surprising thing is yet to come.
They returned to the village in the afterglow of sunset.
Looking out of the window, I could see from afar a smooth and flat surface in front of me, a different color from the dirt road.
Especially when their carriage drove onto the cement road, Lin Jingchen and Xiao Nanchi were extremely surprised.
When she first arrived in the town, Jiang Ci asked someone to tell the servants in the yard to clean up two guest rooms.
Lin Jingchen felt that not going home for half a year was like not going home for three or four years.
Many things in the village seemed unfamiliar to him.
First of all, the road changed completely, and such a large yard appeared out of nowhere.
Although these were written in the letters home to him, he was far less shocked than what he saw with his own eyes.
Fuzai, who hadn't seen his master for a few days, came to greet them as soon as their carriage entered the door.
He ran around the carriage, then rubbed against Jiang Ci's feet who had just got off the carriage.
Jiang Ci touched its big furry head a few times and then pushed it aside, but Fuzai continued to move forward unwillingly. Jiang Ci was also helpless with this big dog at his feet.
Xiao Nanchi's eyes were always on the big dog that was circling at Jiang Ci's feet.
Seeing that he was interested, Jiang Ci said, "Its name is Fuzai. It is usually very smart, but sometimes it can be stupid, like now."
“It looks majestic.”
"Brother Ci, you are finally back."
The voice arrived before Mr. Zheng arrived.
"What happened? Did you succeed?"
When Mr. Zheng arrived, Jiang Ci looked at him and saw that his face was full of wrinkles as he smiled, but his gray hair was messy and it seemed that he was very busy and had no time to take care of himself.
“It worked. Very successfully!”
"It's good that it succeeded, but it's too late today and there are guests here. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Row!"
Then he looked at the guest that Jiang Ci mentioned, and this time he was a little stunned.
"Hiss! What's your name, kid?"
Xiao Nanchi looked at the old man with messy hair who suddenly ran out and felt that he looked familiar. Before he could think about it, he heard this question.
So he answered politely, "Junior Xiao Nanchi."
Old Zheng stroked his mustache, frowned, and whispered, "Xiao Nanchi, Xiao."
He thought of something, and looked at Xiao Nanchi with his narrowed eyes wide open, "Your father's name is Xiao Cheng, and he is the Minister of Revenue."
"It is my father. May I ask who you are, senior?"
"I work in the Ministry of Industry. Everyone calls me Mr. Zheng."
As soon as the words Ministry of Industry and Mr. Zheng came out, Xiao Nanchi knew who he was. "It turned out to be Mr. Zheng. I am short-sighted. I apologize to Mr. Zheng here."
Mr. Zheng frowned and waved his hands, "Alright, alright, that's fine, we don't care about that here."
They didn't pack up the things on the carriage, but just asked the servants to take them down and put them in the room. Then they took a bath and went to sleep. After all, they had been traveling for several days, and the roads outside were not like those in their village. They were still very tiring.
The next morning, before having breakfast, Jiang Ci was called away by Mr. Zheng again.
We went directly to the place where the keel cart was placed. The keel cart was very large and kept turning under the impact of the water flow, bringing the water in the river to the shore. A canal was dug on the shore that connected directly to the fields of each household.
"It's rotating quite fast, and it can carry a lot of water."
"That is!"
"You can go down a lot further."
"We can go down quite a bit, but the water level here is not low, so there is no need to go down."
In the past few days, people who came to the river to wash clothes specifically went to the rocks on the other side to wash them, and looked at this strange thing that could transport water from the river from the opposite side.
In fact, it was quite early today when we came to see the keel car, and there were not many people around.
At another time, children would come and play on the pedals on both sides of the keel car to make it turn faster, and they would compete with each other to push harder.
On the way back, Jiang Ciwei asked Mr. Zheng, "Is Mr. Zheng going back as soon as possible?"
"Yes, we are leaving soon. We have to leave today. However, we are not going to the capital. We are going directly to the prefecture north of Yongzhou."
"Are you the only ones going?"
"No, the capital has sent some people there. They will arrive in the next two days. Once they have prepared everything, we can go there and make the dragon-bone carriage together."
"it is good."
"Tsk! What's so good about that? Why don't you say a few words to keep me here?"
Jiang Ci spread her hands innocently, "I told you, Mr. Zheng has to leave too, but if Mr. Zheng can arrange the keel car, then Mr. Zheng can come and stay for a few more days. There are mountains and water here, and the scenery is pretty good."
"Hmph! You have some conscience."
After seeing off Mr. Zheng and his group at noon, Jiang Ci finally had time to take a look at the things they had bought yesterday.
Jiang Ci first opened something on the table that didn’t taste very good.
These sacks contain dried kelp, dried shrimp and some small fish. I haven't eaten kelp and dried shrimp since I came here, so now I can make some kelp soup, which will definitely taste delicious.
Jiang Ci bought a lot. All the kelp and dried shrimps were bought up from that stall, so there was a sack of dried kelp and half a bag of dried shrimps.
Zhao Yu, who was standing next to Jiang Ci and had never seen these things, said, "These are food."
"These are all food, brought here by merchants from the seaside. Go find a few small bags and I'll pack some of them for my parents and friends."
"Ok."
In addition to these, Jiang Ci also found a bag of shells in the pile over there. He planned to drill holes in them, string them together, and hang them on the small window to the right of the living room door.
This bag of peppers is real peppers.
When I saw it, I was so excited that my eyes were filled with tears.
They planted a few peppers in the field, and they bore fruit, but Jiang Ci was reluctant to eat any of them. He left them growing, waiting for them to grow and save the seeds so he could plant more next year.
This is also the reason why Jiang Ci insisted on staying there for another day.
Jiang Ci went to Ye Shuyun's house with things in both hands.
Ye Shuyun was sitting under a tree in the yard. "You also brought me some stuff? A lot of bags and small bags."
"I have to give you some of the good things I bought."
Jiang Ci introduced all the edible things to Ye Shuyun, and finally took out the string of silver wind bells.
"Buy a nice little gadget." He handed the wind chime to Ye Shuyu.
During this time, the wind chimes made a tinkling sound due to the shaking.
"But it's a bit noisy. You can remove the bell at the bottom, and it won't be so noisy, and the sound will be much quieter."
Ye Shuyun took the bell in his hand and felt that it was quite heavy. "This."
"Yes, it won't be so noisy if you remove it, and it will be convenient to put it back on."
"Okay, then wait a couple of days before removing this and listen to the sound for two days."
