Jiang Feng and Shen Ji walked into a time-honored ceramic shop side by side. They brought a few shallow circular porcelain plates and oval porcelain plates for serving vegetables, and two large deep-bellied porcelain bowls for soup were enough. The bowl used here is a popular style with a shallow mouth and a deep belly. A solid bowl of rice is enough to fill the stomach, and there are teapot cups, chopsticks, spoons, and spoons.

——If you know what you want to buy, the speed will be very fast, especially when two men are together. After the price is confirmed, you will not choose styles, colors, details, etc., and just put the things together at the counter to check out.

Opposite is a salty miscellaneous shop. When you walk in, you will immediately inhale a smell mixed with various seasonings, which makes you feel homely and down-to-earth in an instant. Shen Ji has taken care of his life in all aspects. He is better than Jiang Feng in the kitchen. Isn't it 01 :30 o'clock.

Salt, white vinegar, mature vinegar, and cooking wine weigh a few catties each. There are two types of oil, rapeseed oil and peanut oil, and some of each. For the sauce, I bought two kinds of garlic paste and soybean paste, and there are a few commonly used condiments. , star anise, fennel, pepper, dry chili sauce and the like.

"How much more can it hold?" Shen Ji asked Jiang Feng, who was busy moving things into the carriage, while taking out the money to pay the bill.

"Don't worry, go ahead and buy it. If it doesn't fit in, it's a big deal and just take it back to the car!" Jiang Feng tried his best to carefully place the fragile bottles and jars tightly.

"Let's go, it's time to pick out some commonly used furniture." On the bustling street, the two carefully led the old horse forward, for fear of bumping into the stalls and pedestrians next to them.

Next, Shen Ji was in charge of going to the furniture shop to choose suitable tables and chairs, and told Jiang Feng to go to the blacksmith on another street to buy soup pots, frying pans, shovels and the like.

"Shopkeeper, if I buy these, how about giving me a kang table?" Shen Ji wandered around the furniture, and began to bargain to save money for his third brother.

——Well, these six simple and generous back chairs are placed in the main hall, plus two square high coffee tables and a rectangular table, all of which are painted vermilion cypress wood, solemn and grand, and the price is quite reasonable!But he also remembered that when the locals ate in winter, they would sit cross-legged on the kang, so there was a lack of a kang table, and if they bought so much at one time, the shopkeeper would be willing to send a small table if he wanted to!

"Oh my little brother, those tables and chairs just now are of high quality and hard carpentry is also good. It's quite cheap to add up all of them and only charge four taels of silver. If you send the kang tables, you will lose money! You have to support your family for a small business, don't you think so? Come on, add another three hundred Wen, and you can take that pine wood kang table!" The businessman would not easily give up the profit, and the shopkeeper hurriedly opened his mouth to bargain.

"As for the things just now, only the chairs have been reduced a bit, and the rest are at the original price. It's totally okay to give me a kang table!" Shen Ji didn't give up, and immediately offered a counter-offer.

"Hey, that's because I already quoted the real price for the table and coffee table, so there is really no way to get it cheaper." The shopkeeper quickly waved his hand and said sadly.

"..." The old and the young saw each other, you came and I bargained, and the expressions on each other were as vivid as red and white faces in a big show, and it was impossible to tell the winner for a while.

Until Jiang Feng came back with the carriage again, neither of these two people could convince the other. Shen Ji turned his head and saw an old man sitting on the carriage, and couldn't help being a little curious.

"Have you picked it? This is Master Zhang from the lumber shop. He went back to install the windows for us." Jiang Feng strode in and asked Shen Ji which ones he had picked out.

Shen Ji pointed them out one by one, Jiang Feng nodded in agreement, and finally heard his frustrated look of trying to persuade the shopkeeper to send the kang table, raised his eyebrows and asked him: "Are you used to using the kang table?"

"Everyone is like this, we can't just leave it, that's so strange."

"Okay, as you like." Jiang Feng readily agreed, turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Add another dining table, desk, wardrobe and kitchen sundry shelves, and some wooden barrels too."

The shopkeeper immediately smiled, and immediately pulled Shen Ji to the other side to look at the dining table and cabinets. In the end, he spent nearly 20 taels of silver to buy everything. up.The shopkeeper grinned from ear to ear, and finally generously gave away a kang table and two small horses. Hearing that the guest lived in Hezhou City, the shopkeeper said that he could use a bullock cart to help transport the furniture to the house for free. Of course, Jiang Feng readily agreed.

A group of people went back in a mighty way. When they returned to the yard, it took a lot of effort to move their things in, but the furniture hadn't been delivered yet, so the guys drove the ox cart back to pull the second time.

Men are quick to do hard work. Master Zhang, a carpenter, first worked with Jiang Feng to put the furniture in the right place, and then went to do his own work, took out his tools, and started to install windows and screens in all the rooms.

Shen Ji went out to fetch water with a wooden bucket, and was about to wipe all the furniture, but when he touched the cold well water and his hands were red from the cold, he realized that he forgot to buy firewood and charcoal!So Jiang Feng unloaded all the things on the carriage and rushed to the market again.

No matter, cold water is cold water!Shen Ji simply washed all the dishes and chopsticks with clean water, and then neatly piled them up in the cabinet, took out the seasonings and poured them into their respective bottles and plates, and placed them neatly on the stove pier. The home looks like a decent place in no time.

After all this was done, he was so tired that he straightened up and gasped for breath-he was so busy in the morning that he was almost dizzy.

He walked into the bedroom to watch Master Zhang install the windows, and the other party joked with a smile: "Little brother, haven't you done heavy work, are you tired? You two brothers have such a good relationship. It's great to live together, drink, drink, and chat with each other. !"

"Well, it's pretty good. The master came down to rest for a while when he was tired. I'm really sorry, we forgot to buy firewood and charcoal fire, and we have to wait a while to drink hot water!" Shen Ji said this I feel ashamed and panicked, but he is also very thirsty, so he can't drink well water! .

The master carpenter shook his head and said it didn't matter, "It's okay, these windows will be installed in the morning, and then you two brothers will find thick cotton curtains to hang up, so as to block the light and prevent the wind from blowing in."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Shen Ji walked around the main hall twice, feeling very satisfied, basically the same as imagined: when he entered the door, he saw a solid and thick rectangular table with a back chair on each side of the table, and four other chairs. Divide the chairs into two rows, and separate the chairs with a high coffee table - this kind of arrangement is very good for entertaining guests and chatting, it is suitable and generous, and the life of ordinary people is almost like this!

The kitchen turned from the main hall is quite large. A small square dining table and four backless round stools are placed next to the window in the backyard. When not in use, placing them under the table can save a lot of space; the kitchen shelf stands in the corner, More than three meters away is the stove, although it is a bit crowded, it is very lively.

The wardrobe and desk have been moved into the south-facing bedroom, which is spacious and bright. As a southerner, Shen Ji can't accept the kang. The solution is that the winter here is so cold, it is really freezing to death without burning the kang at night.

The windows of this bedroom have been finished, just put on the curtains, Shen Ji saw the dust and footprints scattered on the kang, decided to go all out, tidy up and spread out the bedding - but at this time he found that he forgot to buy the bedding A special kind of broom!Alas, I really have to wait until I need to remember...

Forget it, the dishcloth is also fine, so he brought in the wooden bucket and dishcloth just now, took off his shoes and jumped onto the kang, wiped it vigorously, and then opened the window to let the strong north wind blow for a while, the water on the kang The stains were completely dry, and after closing the window, he was going to go outside and move in the bedding and bedding.

At this time Jiang Feng finally came back, followed by an ox cart with neatly stacked dry firewood and several sacks of charcoal, Shen Ji went up to have a look.

"Don't do it, what to do if you get chilblains on your hands in a while! I'll go to the kang to see if it works. Come on, the sesame seed cakes and kebabs brought by third brother, eat them while they're hot." Seeing Shen Ji Dadong rolled up his sleeves, his hands were as cold as carrots, Jiang Feng was really distressed.

——It’s not that I don’t want to eat, it’s that I’m too thirsty!Shen Ji took the warm oil-paper bag, and felt that the desire to drink water was stronger right now, so he suggested: "Let's boil some water to drink first, the pot has been rinsed clean, and the water inside is clean."

Jiang Feng, who was helping to carry firewood to the warehouse, turned his head when he heard the words, stared at the chapped lips of the little guy in front of him, and then patted himself on the head in frustration:

"Oh, I'm so busy that I didn't take much care of you. I really shouldn't!" After speaking, he immediately carried a bundle of firewood and a bag of charcoal and strode into the house, followed by a little tail, Shen Ji.

"Hold it for a while, it will boil soon, it's the third brother's negligence." Jiang Feng took out the torch, carefully lit the dry bark, added the thinner firewood, and slowly the fire began to shine in the hearth, sinking Ji watched carefully from the side, and after a while he said happily:

"It's okay, isn't this busy? You haven't rested all morning. Come on, let's sit for a while!" Shen Ji turned around and went to the corner to pick up the two small mats. He tried to sit for a while, and then put the The other was handed to Jiang Feng.

"Oh, this little mat is really good and very strong! Here's one for you." The two sat side by side in front of the hearth to warm up the fire, and Shen Ji conveniently put the sesame seed cakes and meat skewers on the stove to keep warm.

Jiang Feng told him: "Don't put out the fire after dinner is done, throw a few coal cakes in, and the kang will heat up."

"I'll do so much in the morning. You tell me what I'm missing. I'll go buy it in the afternoon. I just went out and bought rice and vegetables. I'll go get them." Jiang Feng went out, leaving Shen Ji alone next to the warm Sitting upright on the stove, reluctant to move.

In fact, if a person has been doing things non-stop, he will feel that his energy is enough to support him, but once he relaxes, he will feel tired in his bones, and he doesn't want to move at all——Shen Ji is currently in such a state, staring at the flames in a daze He didn't even bother to roll his eyes, although he really wanted to see if the water was boiled, and his throat was so thirsty that smoke came out.

Jiang Feng had already come in with his things. He poured rice into a wooden bucket and covered it. He also bought vegetables that are common in winter in the area, Chinese cabbage, potatoes, onions, and green peppers.As well as a large piece of beef and a few ribs, he took them out and put them on the table and asked, "Shen Ji, what do you want for lunch?"

It took a long time for the other party to reply slowly: "Oh, what are there?"

"Beef, pork ribs, cabbage, potatoes—" Jiang Feng ordered each dish with his fingertips.

Hearing that Shen Ji, who was eating, finally regained his vitality, he said happily: "Then let's make beef stewed potatoes, braised pork ribs, and vinegared cabbage!"

"Okay, I'm going to start cooking, you take a rest." Jiang Feng picked up the bucket and went out to fetch water, and took all the dishes to be cooked to wash--for the one he loves, he can go through fire and water, and of course he can wash his hands to make soup Soup is as sweet as it is sweet!
