The Transmigrated Li Jin's Daily Farming Life

This bullock cart is many times more luxurious than Li Zhuzi's. The wheels should have been reinforced, so it won't be particularly bumpy even when walking on the bumpy dirt road.

It's just that although the bullock cart has a canopy and the surrounding area is tightly covered, it can't match the temperature in January, and the inside of the carriage is so cold that it makes people shiver.

Things like braziers can't be born casually. They are surrounded by straw and wood, and if one is not careful, water will leak out.

Therefore, most people will not light a brazier for safety.

Of course, the braziers in the carriages and oxcarts of the dignitaries are all buckled with copper frames, which cannot be compared with those in the homes of ordinary people.

Li Jin felt that the cold on his body was still within the acceptable range, but he had been sitting in place for more than a hour without moving, and his calves were about to freeze.

Several quilts were prepared in the carriage, Chen Xiran stamped his feet and handed Li Jin one.

"Let's take off our shoes and warm up first. Otherwise, if we sit like this all the time, we will get frostbite on our feet when we get to the county town."

Li Jin thought it was the same reason, so he took off his cloth shoes from Shanruliu.

Now the clothes on his body are made by Qin Muwen from the inside to the outside, including the shoes.The soles of the shoes are very soft, I don't know how long Qin Muwen put them in stitches.

The interior of the bullock cart was not big, and the two big men couldn't lie down completely, so they could only wrap themselves in quilts and lean against the corner.

Li Jin said, "Is the master driving the carriage coming to rest?"

He didn't speak very loudly, and the wind outside was very strong, so he couldn't hear him, so this question was for Chen Xiran.

After all, both the driver and the ox cart belonged to Chen Xiran's family, so it's not good for Li Jin to overwhelm the host.

Originally, Li Jin wanted to hire a covered ox cart with the students who signed up together, and each of them would share a little fare, which was less than [-] yuan.

But Chen Xiran directly said that his family has an ox cart, and his father used to ride this car when he went out. During the Chinese New Year, everyone was resting, and the ox cart at home was empty.

"Ah Jin, just follow me directly. If you are bored on the road, you can also recite books together."

At that time, Li Jin was still feeling that Chen Xiran was so enlightened, so he agreed.

But it wasn't until he got into the car by himself that he realized that it was so cold that he didn't want to move a finger, let alone use his brain to endorse.

When Chen Xiran heard Li Jin's words, he shouted loudly: "Master, are you cold?"

"I'm not cold, I'm used to it!"

The master drove very steadily, and the three of them set off early in the morning. It was just after noon when he shouted, "We'll be there in half a day."

Chen Xiran breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Jin hugged the quilt to warm up for a while, and when it was finally not as cold as before, he got up and took out the pancakes he had prepared for a few people to share.

At the same time, there is sweet-scented osmanthus wine, which is not high in alcohol content, and drinking some in winter can warm up the body.

It was getting dark early in winter, and when Li Jin and his party arrived, there were already people working shifts by the low wall of the county town.

"A little bit more..."

Chen Xiran rubbed his hands and said, "The curfew is at three o'clock in the morning, so we came just in time."

With that said, he wanted to enter the city.

Li Jin stopped him. He had asked Mr. Song before and knew that the county was divided into inner city and outer city.

There is a curfew in the inner city. After the evening drum is knocked at [-] o'clock, no one is allowed to go out and traffic is prohibited.

Those who were still walking on the streets of the inner city after the evening drum were beaten at least forty times.

Of course, the curfew ended when the morning bell rang, and it was three o'clock before the ban on traffic was lifted.

This is how the idiom "morning bell and evening drum" comes from.

Li Jin said: "We're not going into the inner city today. Although we can get stuck in now, we haven't found any inns to stay in. If the hotels near the city gate are all full, we'll count it as a 'night'. With the cane."

After a pause, he continued, "It's better to work in the outer city tonight. Anyway, this time it's just a registration, not a real exam. It doesn't matter if it's farther away from the county government."

Hearing this, Chen Xiran knew that he was in a hurry, so he followed Li Jin along the way and asked if there were any vacancies in the inn.

If he was really going to be flogged by taking off his pants, then his face would be lost.

It was getting late at this time, and the inn would definitely increase the price, but they could only admit it.

Finally, I found an inn not facing the street. The environment looked clean. The first floor was a place to eat, and the second floor provided accommodation.

Xiaoer knew they were scholars when he saw their attire, and there was envy in his eyes.

"Our rooms here are simple, there are no suites, and they are cheaper. A room costs 120 Wen a day."

The three of them don't care whether it is simple or not, what Chen Xiran cares about is another point: "Can you provide charcoal fire?"

Xiao Er said, "We have this, and hot soup."

So we decided on three rooms.

The oil lamp was on in the inn, reflecting Li Jin's handsome eyebrows and firm jaw line.I can't see the posture of the boat and the car at all.

Xiao Er watched him finish registering, then got up and took people upstairs.

"You guys came too late today, it's 120 Wen a night, if you want to continue your stay tomorrow and come to renew the rent during the day, it will be [-] Wen."

Li Jin shook his head helplessly when he heard this, and sure enough, the price was increased at night.But the general environment is like this, and he can only accept it silently.

Li Jin and Chen Xiran live next door to each other, and each room only has a one-meter-wide bed and a table, which is really simple.

Xiaoer said: "If you take a bath, you can go to the backyard. There are not many people in our shop, so we don't deliver hot water. The charcoal basin will be delivered in a while."

Chen Xiran just wanted to fall asleep, but when he heard Li Jin's door knocking, he packed his clothes and went to take a shower.

The soup bath in the backyard is a wooden barrel separated by a half curtain.

The chef in the back kitchen boils hot water and pours it in directly, which is really convenient.
