The Only Favorite Ugly Husband

Chapter 46 Someone Climbs the Window

When Jiang Zhen went to deliver food to Brother Zhao Jin this time, he didn't avoid people specifically, but Zhao Da's family's land was close to the canal, and the land over there was all his family's, so generally few people in the village went there.

Brother Zhao Jin was already a little tired after working all morning, but when he saw Jiang Zhen, he felt refreshed again, and the corners of his mouth moved unconsciously.

He used to secretly eat the food brought by Jiang Zhen in the woods, but this time, he ate it while sitting on the ridge of the field. He hoped that others could see and know how good Jiang Zhen was to him.

However... Even if someone saw it, they would soon be told that Jiang Zhen himself ate at Zhao's house.

He delivered food to Brother Zhao Jin, but it was from the Zhao family... Isn't this a generosity of others?

No one envied Brother Zhao Jin at all.

Brother Zhao Jin was a little depressed like Zhao Liushi, but Jiang Zhen didn't take it seriously.

He has always been indifferent to other people's eyes. If he has time to care about what the villagers are thinking, he might as well find time to make more money.

This is not a modern peaceful society. In modern times, even if you are extremely poor, you can find a meal at the relief center. Here, if you have no money, you may starve to death.

With too little money in hand, he couldn't feel at ease after all.

"I'm going to the county in the afternoon." Seeing that Brother Zhao Jing had almost eaten, Jiang Zhen said to Brother Zhao Jing.

"What are you going to do?" Brother Zhao Jin was a little puzzled.

"Go sell things, don't worry, I'll be back in the evening." Jiang Zhen smiled at Brother Zhao Jin.

What Jiang Zhen wanted to sell in the county was his leftover kelp and salted fish, as well as the fish he just caught this morning.

He had planned this for a long time, the kelp was soaked yesterday, and the goods were ready. After saying hello to Brother Zhao Jing, he took Wang Haisheng out.

When they arrived at the county seat, they happened to catch up with the evening market in the county seat in the afternoon.At this time, many people have dinner at four or five in the afternoon, and before that, some of them will go to the street to buy a dish.

Jiang Zhen parked the boat near the pier, just like when he was in Fucheng, he started to grab a handful of kelp for a penny, and started selling it like this.

There are far fewer people in the county town than in the prefectural city, but there are still people who come to buy it. After all, there is really little money for a penny. Once there are more people who come to buy, out of the herd mentality, even if some people don’t actually buy, they will come. have a look.

Now that I've come to see it...someone must buy it.

The vast majority of people come to buy kelp, but there are also people who buy more expensive salted fish, fresh fish is also selling well...

In modern times, seawater fish are sold frozen, but freshwater fish are sold live. After all, dead fish don’t taste good and can be very fishy, ​​but not at this time.

People at this time basically sell dead fish.

They caught the fish and piled them together to sell on the street. Even if the fish were still alive at the beginning, they would die soon. Add oxygen to the water, get a bigger bucket...

These days, if you get a big wooden barrel to sell live fish, it will be very troublesome to move the wooden barrel around... Therefore, except for the more particular rich people, the big guys usually buy and sell dead fish.

But Jiang Zhen still sells live fish.

The sellable live fish he and Wang Haisheng caught in the morning were not piled up on the boat, but kept in fishing nets and dropped behind the boat to ensure that they would not die. When they arrived at the county seat, they were taken out one by one and put into wooden barrels for sale. .

At this time, the fish is still alive and kicking.

Wang Haisheng can already handle the seaweed business, and Jiang Zhen is responsible for selling salted fish and fresh fish, which are troublesome to calculate the price.

There were still many people cheering for the fresh live fish, and for a while, it sold very well.

Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng were the first sellers of live fish and soaked kelp in the county, so there were many people cheering for them. They sold it all afternoon, but they sold it for three taels of silver, which means they made another three taels.

Although more kelp is sold, the money is mainly from selling fish, but the cost of kelp is low, and the cost of salted fish is high. If you really want to make money, kelp is probably better.

"It's you?" A voice sounded, and Jiang Zhen raised his head, only to find a sea goods merchant who had gone to buy goods with them at the beginning was standing in front of them.

"Your selling method is not bad." The sea goods merchant looked at the kelp in front of Wang Haisheng and said, looking thoughtful. There is no doubt that he will learn from it when he goes back, and then sell it like this.

This method is too simple, and it can be easily learned by others... Jiang Zhen knew that he had better find a way to do some other business in the future. Of course, he had to have capital first.

"How are your goods selling?" the sea goods merchant asked again.

"Sold out." Jiang Zhen finally replied.

Hearing this, the sea goods merchant looked at Jiang Zhen in surprise. The profits of sea goods are still good, but they don't make a lot of money. The main reason is that they can't sell too much.

But now, the goods purchased by these two people are sold out?

This sea goods merchant was a little jealous, but he couldn't do anything else other than jealousy, and he really didn't want to row a boat to sell elsewhere.

Jiang Zhen has been selling in the county all afternoon, and the rest of the seafood is almost sold out. If he sells again tomorrow, it is estimated that they will all be sold out.

He packed his things and returned to Hexi Village before it was completely dark.

When Jiang Zhen arrived at the Zhao family, it was already past the time for the Zhao family to eat dinner, but the Zhao family hadn't moved their chopsticks yet. Seeing Jiang Zhen's return, Zhao and Liu family put all the dishes on the steaming rack to keep warm. He took it out and called Jiang Zhen to eat.

Zhao Liushi is an introverted and careful person, and she is willing to spend her time on cooking.

Now is a good time to eat garlic. Of course, this garlic does not refer to garlic cloves, but the whole garlic.

Zhao Liu pulled out some garlic, cut off the root, steamed it in salted fish, cut the garlic leaves into small pieces, and made a pot of garlic leaf tofu. Besides, she also used cold seaweed and fried a plate Cabbage, and even...

"What is this?" Jiang Zhen looked curiously at a dish on the table. It was a plate of fried wild vegetables, but there seemed to be other things in it.

"I picked some snails, took off the snail heads and fried wild vegetables." Zhao Liu said.Seeing that there were a lot of snails, she cooked some, and then picked out all the snail meat one by one with a needle.

She used the tail of the snail to feed the ducklings, but put the head of the snail together for cooking, which added a bit of meat to the dish.

Jiang Zhen used to eat snails when eating supper with his comrades in arms, but he always ate the snails with the whole tail cut off. He sucked the meat out and ate it himself. It is a huge project.

"The snails are relatively small. If there are snails, there will be more meat." Zhao Liu said again, the snails in the river here are only the size of a fingernail, but the snails grow in the paddy fields, and the largest snails can even be as big as eggs. There is more meat.

Jiang Zhen was very satisfied with this meal.

After traveling to ancient times, he has been eating very ordinary food. It was not until this time that he had eaten delicious food. He suddenly felt that it was a correct decision for him to come to Jiang's house for dinner.

When he has money in the future, he must buy more seasonings for Zhao Liushi.

After dinner, it was completely dark, so the Zhao family lit a small oil lamp. It was so dark that they couldn't see anything clearly. It was difficult to chat under such circumstances, so Jiang Zhen left quickly.

That night, Jiang Zhen slipped into Brother Zhao Jing's room again.

"The bed board hasn't been changed yet?" Jiang Zhen asked after touching the bed.

Brother Zhao Jin was taken aback for a moment, then felt a little embarrassed: "I forgot..."

"If you don't want to change it, don't change it. After a few days, I will get some wood and make a stronger bed, or it will be too inconvenient." Jiang Zhen said.

Brother Zhao Jin was not completely ignorant, and when he heard what Jiang Zhen said, he blushed immediately.

When he came back from work the next day, he took down the broken bed board in his room, and then re-laid the rest of the bed board.

"This bed board is in good shape, why did it suddenly break? There is no moth." Zhao Liushi looked at the bed board with some puzzlement.

"I accidentally used some force..." Brother Zhao Jin lowered his head and said awkwardly.

"That's right, this bed board has been used for a long time." Zhao Liu said: "By the way, Brother Jin, your father and I have already had dinner. When Jiang Zhen comes back, the two of you will have dinner together." There is no need to wait for us or leave food for us."

"Mother, what's the matter with you?" Brother Zhao Jin asked.

Zhao Liushi was delighted: "We're going to the next village to find a blind man to ask about a suitable date for getting married." Here, we have to ask people to choose an auspicious day for getting married, and those who will count the days are usually blind.

The master is blind, and he accepts blind students as well as apprentices. This is actually a way for those blind people to survive.

"Yes." Brother Zhao Jin agreed.

"We may not come back at night, your father has a friend over there, and we may stay there for one night." Zhao Liu said again.Apart from asking the blind man for an auspicious day this time, she and Zhao Fugui also had to go over there to order two quilts and some furniture, and Zhao Fugui's friend is a carpenter, if they delay too late, they won't come back , Rest at his house for one night.

Brother Zhao Jin agreed again, and Zhao Liushi and Zhao Fugui went out together.

The people in the village they went to didn't know much about He Xi Village, at most they had vaguely heard a few rumors that Boss Jiang was very powerful, so when Zhao Liushi and Zhao Fugui went to ask about their lives, the blind man was very calm, and then told him It's been three days.

Usually when people come to ask about the date of marriage, they usually choose auspicious dates that are several months away, but the Zhao family always emphasizes that the sooner the better, the blind man gave the last three days.

One is twelve days later, one is one month later, and the other is two months later.

Zhao Liushi wrote down the three dates, but he had already made up his mind to marry Zhao Jinge and Jiang Zhen in twelve days.

For this marriage, the sooner the better, lest Jiang Zhen run away.

Zhao Liushi and Zhao Fugui had a very smooth life and ordered two quilts, but they encountered a little trouble when they finally packed the furniture.

It was already dark, and the night road was very difficult to walk and you might encounter snakes, but Zhao Liushi and Zhao Fugui were still rushing back.

"What's the matter with that friend of yours? Thinking of us as poor? He even drove people out before saying a few words..." Zhao Liushi looked at Zhao Fugui dissatisfied.

She and Zhao Fugui felt that Jiang Zhen could not be wronged, so they wanted to find a friend to make two pieces of furniture, but as soon as they entered the door, they told people that their brother Jin was getting married, and Zhao Fugui's friend's wife couldn't wait. Even Zhao Fugui's friend didn't stop them from driving them out.

Zhao Liu felt extremely aggrieved.

Zhao Fugui remained silent.

"Aren't they just afraid that we will borrow money from them? Don't even think about it. We sold the land back then, so we didn't bother them..." Zhao Liu said again.

Both he and Zhao Fugui didn't want to trouble others. They could actually borrow money at the beginning, but after selling the land, they felt that it was not good to borrow money from someone for no reason.

For so many years, they have never troubled them, and this time they also brought money for the furniture, but they were kicked out.

Zhao Fugui also felt uncomfortable. His friend was somewhat related to him. When they were young, the two had a very good relationship. He also helped each other a lot, but now that person turned his face and refused to recognize anyone...

It's just that Zhao Fugui is not very good at talking, so he can only keep silent.

"Tomorrow, I'll find another carpenter. The bed boards in Brother Jin's room were accidentally broken by him. You can wait for other things. You must buy a bed quickly." Zhao Liu said, suddenly Frowning and looking into the distance: "Father, why is there light in Brother Jin's room?"

Zhao Fugui looked from a distance, and sure enough, there was light coming from his son's room, and the window was still open.

"This child is not afraid of burning lamp oil." Zhao Liushi said with some distress.

Zhao Fugui faintly sensed that something was wrong, his brother Jin was not someone who knew how to light lamps at night.

He dragged Zhao Liushi away and was thinking about something, when he suddenly saw a figure crawling in through the light-transmitting window, and then the window was closed.

This... this... Zhao Fugui was shocked.

Zhao Liushi was also taken aback, how could someone sneak into Brother Jin's room?

"Let's walk more lightly." Zhao Fugui's face darkened. He almost knew who the person who climbed the window was, and now he was extremely uncomfortable!

This is not married yet!
