I am not a lucky star through time travel

The newly bought house needs to be refurbished and furniture needs to be added. Zhou Hu can hand over all of these. Lin Qiao only needs to clarify the requirements.

After paying the deposit, the two went to buy a medium-sized fishing net, and then returned to the newly bought house.

The old man Hu Da was looking for was also surnamed Hu, and he was Hu Da's distant cousin, in his forties.

Old man Hu heard the knock on the door, opened the door and saw that it was the owner who had just left and came back, so he rushed in to welcome him in.

Seeing his terrified expression, Lin Qiao hurriedly said, "I'll get something."

Lin Qiao and Brother Zhu went into the stables, and saw that the horses and mules were well taken care of, and the stables were also cleaned.

I am a little more satisfied with old man Hu, at least he is not a sneaky person.

The two went to the warehouse again, unlocked the lock and took the cloth, cotton and furs.

The weather is getting colder and colder. Although Anyang County belongs to the south of the Yangtze River, it is not Guangdong and Guangxi after all. It is still quite cold in winter, which is why Lin Qiao will set up a kang in the bedroom.

In winter, I live in the Kang in the south house, which is warm.It is cool to live in the bed in the north house in summer.

Lin Qiao planned to make some leather robes for himself and brother Zhuzi, so that they would not be afraid of the cold in winter.

In the military camp last winter, he lived in a tent with air leakage. If he hadn't warmed up by the fire all day, he probably wouldn't be able to survive.If you have the conditions this year, you must let yourself have a warm winter.

On the way back to Qushui Village, Lin Qiao sat on the shaft of the car with Zhuzi against the wind.Brother Zhuzi was so distressed that he kept persuading him to get into the carriage.

Lin Qiao smiled, "It's okay, I will drive with you."

Brother Zhuzi has been with him quietly all the time, without any complaints, how could he have the heart to let Brother Zhuzi sit outside alone and blow the wind?Brother Zhuzi is not his servant.

Moreover, the cabin was not warm enough, and there was also air leakage everywhere.Lin Qiao thought, he had to improve the carriage, covered it with oilcloth around it, spread a mattress inside, put a few cushions, and added a small table that could be retracted freely.You can make tea, serve a plate of snacks and so on.It's not bad to think about it, just like the carriage of Qin Xiaoru and Mr. Qin.

Back in the village, the two of them went home and changed into plain clothes, and then took Erniu to the head of the ancient village.

There was a shed in the courtyard of the village chief’s house, and there were more than a dozen tables under the shed. At this time, several tables were already filled with mourners.

The three of them walked to the table where the favors were placed, and Er Niu took out a consistent amount of money and handed it to the person who kept the account books.

Everyone sitting and chatting at those tables looked over in surprise.

Always money!Farmers are poor, and if it’s for nothing, it’s not bad to take three to five cents, and some just bring some radishes and cabbages!

This young master Lin made a move with consistent money, which is a thousand copper coins!

The bookkeeper tremblingly took the heavy money and carefully put it into the basket with only a few copper plates at the bottom, making a heavy metallic sound.

Gu Hai and his son hurried up to meet them and took them to the mourning hall.The mourning hall is very simple, with a thin coffin, probably containing the clothes of Gu Sanshu.

After the three of Lin Qiao finished offering incense, the Third Aunt Gu, who was kneeling beside her in sackcloth and filial piety, hurriedly kowtowed back with her son and daughter.

After that, Gu Hai led them to the shed outside and sat at the main table.Several old men were already sitting at the main table, and when they saw Lin Qiao and the others approaching, they all hurriedly got up to greet them.

These elders were all elders of the Gu family, and they had already learned from Gu Ping that both Lin Qiao and Brother Zhuzi were officers in the army, and their rank was only a little lower than that of the county magistrate.

Lin Qiao hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted, even though he was an official, it was not easy for the old man to stand up to greet him.

The old people were very sincere and fearful. The biggest officer they had ever seen was Li Zheng. They didn't expect that a great officer like Lin Qiao would be so humble and polite.

In fact, farmers are generally like this, they are very timid, and they are scared to death when they see the yamen servants, let alone a high-ranking officer like Lin Qiao.

Like the Gu Zhang family, there are not many people who dare to make trouble with the Lin family.In fact, Gu Zhang relied on the fact that Lin Qiao was a foreigner, and he was just a young man, alone, without father, mother, or clan. Before he became an officer, he was an ordinary person, only richer than the villagers. Only dare to come to make trouble.

Soon someone was carrying the plate and serving it.When the dishes were ready, Lin Qiao took a look. There were eight dishes, two meat dishes, braised fish and chicken with black fungus.The six vegetarian dishes are all radish, cabbage, tofu and the like.

Seeing that all the villagers were devouring and eating happily, Lin Qiao reckoned that this meal should be considered good here.

Lin Qiao only ate a few mouthfuls casually, it was very bland, and the taste was far worse than that made by Mrs. Gu, maybe it was because of the cauldron.Besides, this is a trivial matter, the host just wants the table to not lose face, the taste is not that important.

Back home, Brother Zhuzi asked Second Sister-in-law Gu to make a big pot full of stewed roe deer meat, add white rice, and send it to the dining room.

Sure enough, Brother Zhuzi understood him. Lin Qiao poured the soup on the rice and was about to start it. Seeing that Er Niu was still standing, he asked, "You don't want to eat?"

Er Niu rubbed the back of his head and said with a smile, "I'm full at Gu's."

Lin Qiao also poured the soup on Brother Zhuzi, deliberately greedy, "This stew is delicious, don't you want some?"

Er Niu really started to swallow his saliva.

Lin Qiao smiled and pushed a bowl over, "Eat more."

The young man is eating like a cow, how long can that little vegetable and tofu resist?

After eating, Lin Qiao and Brother Zhuzi carried the fishing net and bucket and walked all the way to the small river in the mountain.Eat a little full, just to digest food.

Lin Qiao had only seen others casting nets to catch fish before, but he himself couldn't do it, and neither could Brother Zhuzi.But it doesn't matter, just try a few more times.

Brother Zhuzi followed the example of a fisherman, holding one end of the rope with one hand and the other end of the net with the other, and threw it into the river with force, but the result was too much force, and he fell onto a short tree on the other side of the river.

The creek is not wide, only about five meters. Brother Zhuzi is very strong, and this is the first time, it is normal to shake his head too much.

But the mesh of the fishing net was entangled with the tree crown, and it couldn't be pulled off no matter what.Brother Zhuzi was so anxious that he almost took off his clothes and went into the water.

Seeing his anxious appearance, Lin Qiao laughed so hard that he almost died.While pulling Brother Zhu who was about to take off his clothes, he stretched out his hand towards the tree. Suddenly, the crown of the tree slid out of the mesh like a cartilage, and the fishing net fell into the river.

Brother Zhuzi also laughed, staring at Lin Qiao with starry eyes, Xiaobai is too powerful.

With the experience of the first failure, the next few times are just as good.Although no fish has been caught yet, at least the net has been cast.

Lin Qiao observed for a while, probably because they cast the net too much just now, scaring away the fish, so the two of them changed to another place to try.

Sure enough, when the net was drawn again, there were more than a dozen big fish and several small fish.

Big fish include herring, grass carp and carp, while small fish are generally crucian carp.

The two were very excited, like children, they yelled to get the fish out of the net and put them into the bucket, only a few were put in, and it was full.Lin Qiao put the fish that couldn't fit into the space.

Brother Zhuzi asked, "Are you still spreading it?"

Lin Qiao said while playing with the fish in the bucket, "Sa, get some more, it's cold now, let's make some salted fish."

This is a pure natural and pollution-free wild fish, which is difficult to eat in modern times.

Brother Zhuzi cast a few more nets, and the subsequent harvest was even bigger. There was a big herring that weighed at least thirty catties and a red carp that weighed seven or eight catties.

Seeing such a big fish, Lin Qiao was a little scared. He always felt that he had become a ghost, especially the red carp, which always reminded him of some weird stories, so he hurriedly asked Brother Zhu to release it.

As long as it is Lin Qiao's words, brother Zhuzi will not refuse.After releasing the two big fish, they collected their nets and went home.

Lin Qiao gave birth to the dry aquatic plants by the river, and used these aquatic plants to pass through the gills of the fish and string them into long strings, ready to drag them home.

Brother Zhuzi took the strings of fish with a smile, hung them on both ends of the sheath of his long knife, and carried them on his shoulders. The other hand held the bucket, and only Lin Qiao was allowed to hold the fishing nets.

Today's harvest is really good, Lin Qiao is very happy, such a life is really interesting.

Seeing his cheerful look, Brother Zhuzi asked, "Xiao Bai, do you like fish very much?" But at the Gu's house at noon, I didn't see Xiao Bai caught fish!

"Hmm! I like to eat fish hot pot." Thinking of the modern boiled fish, pickled fish and grilled fish, Lin Qiao's saliva almost flowed out.

"Fish hot pot?" What is this?Xiaobai would always say something he didn't understand, and Brother Zhuzi usually wouldn't ask questions, but since Xiaobai liked it, he still wanted to know more about it.

"It's just stewed fish in a pot. It's delicious. Go home and ask Mrs. Gu to make it for us."

Lin Qiao couldn't describe how fish hot pot was made. After all, he had only eaten it before, and had never made it. Moreover, there was no hot pot and seasoning here, so he didn't know if he could make it.

He also thought, fortunately he has supernatural powers, otherwise he would not know how to survive in this world.It can neither be carried on the shoulder nor carried by the hand. It is impossible to do hard work.I don't know how to cook food, so I can't sell recipes.

Knowing how to do zhadan does not count, that cannot be exchanged for money after all.He can read, but I don't know if he can get a job or something.However, I heard that in the test of merit, three generations of ancestors have to check it out, so he, who has been a husband and wife, probably can't take the test.

Besides, he already has a rank, even if he wins the first prize and enters the Hanlin Academy, he is estimated to be at the seventh rank, and he is sure that he does not have the talent to be the first prize.

And he is now considered a military officer, if he abandons martial arts and follows literature, he probably won't please both sides!

Lin Qiao walked home in a wild way of thinking.

Er Niu waited at the gate as usual, and when he saw them coming back, he ran over quickly to pick up the bucket in Brother Zhuzi's hand.

Brother Zhuzi refused, "Go and help Mr. Lin get the fishing net, it's heavy."

"..." Lin Qiao, who was holding only a pair of fishing nets in his hand, was almost speechless. Did brother Zhuzi regard him as a woman?

Seeing that they had caught so many fish, Liu smacked her lips happily, "No one dares to go to the small river on weekdays. I never thought there would be so many."

Lin Qiao ordered, "Make a few tonight, and send a few to the village chief's family, and make the rest into salted fish."

Liu's smile disappeared immediately, Lin Qiao asked, "What's the matter?"

Mrs. Liu replied expressionlessly, "People from several villages came to invite the young master to have a drink of detoxification wine."

Er Niu said bitterly, "It's not because the adults gave the Gu family the silk gold that has always been money."

Lin Qiao waved his hand and said indifferently, "It's okay, if someone comes to invite me in the future, Er Niu will go on my behalf, and every family will follow the same etiquette. It's not easy for them. Without a man, life will be difficult in the future."
