In fact, it only cost a few hundred coins in total. This kind of snake venom is not too difficult to detox, and the herbs are relatively cheap.

Zhao Heng already had all his wealth on him, and there were still more than two taels left after the medicine was taken.

After bidding farewell to Dr. Hu, the group returned to Jiang Yuan's home.

On the way, Zhao Heng wanted to say goodbye and go home, but Aunt Jiang said that he would like to thank him for taking out the money in advance, and insisted on letting Zhao Heng go home for dinner.

As soon as he entered, Jiang Amu said hello and went to work in the kitchen.

Father Jiang, Jiang Yuan and Zhao Heng were left behind. Father Jiang took the initiative to invite Zhao Heng to sit down, and poured glasses of water for both Jiang Yuan and Zhao Heng.

Not long after, Aunt Jiang brought the food.

To be honest, the cooking standard here is not very high.Because of the lack of cooking techniques, there are relatively more cooked dishes, and the taste tends to be light.

……

In the afternoon, it was rare for Zhao Heng to be free, so he trimmed weeds in the yard when he was bored.

The yard was small, so Zhao Heng borrowed Zhang Qiao's sickle to cut off the overgrown weeds first. He grabbed the stem of the grass with one hand and used the sharp head of the sickle to dig out the roots of the weeds.

After dealing with the weeds, Zhao Heng wiped the sweat off his brow and continued to level the ground in the yard.

After all this work, Zhao Heng finally had time to have a good meal, and he started to get busy.

After dinner, it was already dark. There were no incandescent lamps here at night, and now he didn't have candle oil lamps either. Zhao Heng closed the door after washing up and went to bed to rest.

He lay on the bed, opened his eyes and thought about what happened today.

When he first came to this world, he felt very uneasy.Although he didn't show it, but no one knew the anxiety in his heart.

The original owner didn't leave him with all the memories of this world, and now he only has a superficial understanding of this strange world.

After falling asleep, he dreamed of the original owner Zhao Heng again, this time the dream was more clear, he knew clearly that he was in a dream.

In the dream, the original owner, Zhao Heng, had all the memories in his head.

This dynasty does not belong to any dynasty in the history of Huaguo. This country named Da Chu is somewhat different from Huaguo.

In this world, the most different from the earth is that besides men and women, there are brothers.

The number of little brothers is much smaller than that of women and men, and there may not be a little brother in a village in ten years.

My brother looks similar to a man, but much smaller and slender than a man. There is a red mole between his eyebrows, which represents the little brother's identity and fertility.

The brighter the red mole, the stronger the child's fertility.

Ordinary rich and noble families do not want to marry a younger brother to go home, except for a few people who will marry a younger brother to be the king, most of them prefer soft women.

In villages that are too poor, some men who cannot marry a woman will marry a younger brother and go home to live.

Generally speaking, some families are more willing to marry a woman than a younger brother.

And Jiang Yuan is just a little brother.

Probably because time travel is acceptable, so Zhao Heng can also accept such a strange world.

At noon, that white and fat woman was proposing to Jiang Yuan.

Zhao Heng felt blocked and depressed.

Perhaps it was because he was not used to men being able to marry and have children, which was too strange.

Zhao Heng thought in a daze.

The next morning, Zhao Heng got up early.In summer, the sky dawned very early. When Zhao Heng got up, it was about four or five o'clock in the morning, and the sky was not yet bright.

Before Zhang Qiao came to look for him, Zhao Heng broke a willow branch nearby to wash up, and took advantage of the faint fire in the stove, he first cooked and ate.

After eating two meals of a little rice in the rice jar, it has clearly bottomed out.

Zhao Heng is going to work at Master Li's house today to see what's going on around here, and then go to the town to buy some food after paying the wages.

Not long after, Zhang Qiao came to call him, and the sky was getting brighter.

Zhao Heng heard Zhang Qiao calling him outside the door, tidied up and went out.

Zhang Qiao and Zhao Heng walked to the dirt road at the entrance of the village together. Several young men were waiting at the entrance of the village. Seeing a stranger standing beside Zhang Qiao, they couldn't help talking secretly in a low voice, wondering who this person was.

Zhang Qiao took the initiative to introduce Zhao Heng to them: "Dashan, Pingzi, and Xiaokai, this is Zhao Heng who just came to our village. Today, we will go to Master Li's house to work with us."

Dashan was a straightforward young man, and he blurted out: "Are you a refugee who just arrived?"

Zhao Hengdao: "Yes, I just came here, and I need to trouble you to tell me about the local roads nearby, otherwise I don't even know the roads, please."

Xiao Kai looked like he was fifteen or sixteen years old, and his face was very tender. Hearing what Zhao Heng said, he felt a little embarrassed. He had never been entrusted with this before.

A few people greeted each other, even if they knew each other.

Seeing that it was almost dawn, the five of them hurried on the road to Master Li's place, for fear of being delayed on the way.

When the five people arrived at Lijia Village, there were already several people queuing up to report from Mr. Li's housekeeper, so they hurried to line up.

Several people got the hoes and bamboo baskets and went to work in the deserted yard.

The ground is full of bumps, rocks in some places, and uneven soil in some places, so it takes a lot of work to clean it up.

Zhao Heng didn't complain, and just found a place to work.

Zhang Qiao and Da Shan were not far from him. One dug the stones and the other transported them aside. They worked together in a division of labor, and they seemed to have a tacit understanding.

It was the first time for Xiao Kai to do this kind of work, and he was very tired.

Because other people came earlier, others were already doing the slightly easier work of digging and leveling the soil, so a few people could only dig stones.

Zhao Heng saw that he offered Xiao Kai to move the stone beside him. In fact, the work of moving the stone was much easier than digging, and he could stand up and walk around while moving the stone.If a stone digger bends down and keeps digging, his waist will become sore and his legs will hurt after a while.

The lunch is a big pot of rice prepared by the host. Each person has a big bowl of vegetarian noodles, plus a fist-sized steamed bun, and pickles are enough.

It's not as delicious as the ones I usually make at home, so it's no problem to make a man full.

Zhao Heng ate cleanly, so what if he couldn't get enough to do physical work.

After eating, everyone sat down and rested for a while, and when the time was almost up, someone came and called for work.

When the men heard this, they hurriedly got up and continued to work, not daring to slack off.

I was so busy until Youshi that I announced the end of work.

Mr. Li's family pays a daily salary.Several people from the same village had already queued up, and Zhao Heng and Zhang Qiao also quickly joined the queue.

Zhao Heng earned a total of seventy coins that day, the housekeeper counted the copper coins for him, and Zhao Heng took them and tidied them up on his chest.

It was still early to go back, Zhang Qiao asked Zhao Heng: "Do you want to go to the town to buy some things at home? My mother asked me to bring some things back."

Zhao Hengben had such a plan, so he readily agreed, and the two left the three people from the same village and went to the town.

Lijia Village is very close to Zhilan Town, almost right next to each other, and the two arrived within a short walk.

Zhilan Town has a flat terrain and is located on the south bank of the Da Chu State Canal. Many tributes that go straight to the palace pass through this river.

Therefore, although Zhilan Town is just a town, it is more prosperous than many remote county towns.

The northernmost part of Zhilan Town is adjacent to the south bank of the canal. Many passing merchants often disembark and come here to rest.

Occasionally, when some people reached their destination, the ox cart would stop and let that person get off.

Zhao Heng was shocked when he saw this scene. It turned out that the bus had taken shape so early.

All kinds of snacks on the street, and the little second standing in front of the shop with a sweat towel on his shoulders, kept yelling.

Standing here, Zhao Heng finally understood why Dahe Village was so rich. With such a prosperous town, the village would certainly not be so poor.

It is said to be a town, but Zhilan Town looks no different from some county towns.

Zhao Heng followed Zhang Qiao to Beishi, which was a government-approved market, and anyone who set up a stall here had to pay a sum of money in the government, and the government gave a sign to set up a stall here.

Zhang Qiao explained to Zhao Heng: "Northern City is divided into four districts, A, B, C, and D. District A is dedicated to grain and oil, District B is a flower and bird market, selling things for wealthy families, District C is dedicated to food, and District D is full of butcher shops. The four districts are separated in the middle and do not communicate with each other, so that the government can manage them."

The things sold in Beishi are cheaper than in the shops. The shops on the street are filled with old men and passing merchants. In Beishi, there are stalls set up by nearby villagers. Exchange with people here.General clothing, food and vegetables can be bought here.

The two went to District A first, Zhao Heng went to the food stall, and Zhang Qiao went to the oil shop not far away.

The stall that Zhao Heng took a fancy to was that of a middle-aged man. Some samples of each grain were placed on the table, and the rest were kept under the table to avoid damage.

The middle-aged brother was sitting and breaking corn kernels. When he saw someone coming, he immediately stood up and asked Zhao Heng with a smile, "What kind of food do you want to buy, sir? Here are corn, rice, millet, and dry flour. Look." Which do you need?"

Zhao Heng looked at the samples he placed. The corn was crystal clear and golden in color, and the rice and millet were fresh without moths, so he was more satisfied with the stall.

"How much do these cost per catty?"

The boss smiled and introduced: "Corn kernels are 25 renminbi a catty, rice is [-] renminbi, millet is [-] renminbi, and flour is [-] renminbi. Which one do you want?"

At this time, the autumn harvest is only one or two months away, and the grain stored in his family from the previous year has not been eaten. The grain store does not charge such a small amount, so he can only set up a stall in Beishi, so the price is much cheaper than before.

"Buy five catties of rice, five catties of millet, and ten catties of flour. Can the boss give me another corn cob?"

The middle-aged brother quickly packed the food in a cloth bag, and answered him: "Guest officer, you bought so much, I'll give you a bigger one."

There are not many corn kernels in one corn, but it can be eaten as popcorn.

Zhao Heng nodded and reached out to take the bag of dry food, put it aside and reached into his sleeve for money: "How much is it?"

The middle-aged brother quickly calculated the money: "A total of 405 Wen, I will give you a change, and I will charge you a total of 400 Wen."

Zhao Heng nodded, took out the money from his pocket and handed it to the boss.

Fortunately, he thought yesterday that he would come to town today and brought a tael of silver, otherwise it would be embarrassing if he couldn't pay at this time.

Zhang Qiao was negotiating prices at a grain and oil stall not far away. When he went out, his mother told him to bring back some oil and salt.

When Zhao Heng walked up to Zhang Qiao with his things, he had already negotiated the price. The boss sighed again and again, saying how he met such a good bargainer today.

Zhang Qiao smiled, and after the two finished shopping, Zhang Qiao asked again, "Do you want to buy some salt? I don't have much left at home."

At this time, the boss said: "Oh, guest officer, I have things like salt, star anise, cinnamon pepper, etc. You bought oil here, and you bought it here and saved two people. How about ? My thing is absolutely good!"

Zhao Heng thought about it, and he was indeed very tired today, so he took two steps less to find a shop.

He bought a small jar of oil and some condiments such as salt and pepper, and bought some of each kind of mess wrapped in oil paper.

Zhang Qiao also bought some salt here, and was tricked by Zhao Heng to buy some chili.

Zhang Qiao regretted it immediately after buying it, this food is not delicious at all!

He even tried to ask the shopkeeper if he could return the goods. The shopkeeper was counting the coins with a smile, but when he heard this, his eyebrows drooped: "This shop will not return the goods without quality reasons!"

Zhao Heng patted him on the shoulder and sneered mercilessly: "Don't worry, this is absolutely delicious when it's done! I'll teach you at your home later."

Zhang Qiao glanced at him, and his eyes revealed brightly: I believe you ghost!

Zhao Heng sighed, when will you fall in love with Spicy Chicken Hot Pot Malatang Maocai... ah.
