Zhao Jinge still ate that egg.
He ate very little this morning, but at noon he ate very much under Jiang Zhen's care, and he was very energetic in the afternoon.
It's just that although he is very energetic and works very fast, his mind is not on work, but he thinks of something else.
After he dug out the mole, he regarded himself as a man and made up his mind not to get married. Even though he had recently planned to spend a lifetime with Jiang Zhen, he forgot to think about having a child, but now Jiang Zhen brought it up .
Brother Zhao Jin felt a little guilty.
The fertility rate of the twins has a lot to do with the color of the mole. The brighter the color of the mole, the higher the fertility rate of the twin. However, before the mole was dug out, it was always dull. .
Back then, the old man in the village said that it would be difficult for him to have children like this, and that was one of the reasons why he couldn't get married... Jiang Zhen should also know about this, so he mentioned it today because he wanted to take good care of himself
I was already ugly and it was difficult to have children. Now that I am so old, I really need to take good care of it, otherwise I may not be able to have children in the future.
Thirsty and tired after working for a long time, Zhao Jinge wanted to scoop some water to drink, but stopped his actions.
People in the village are more careful, women and Shuang'er don't drink cold water, because they are afraid that drinking it will damage their body... He still shouldn't drink it.
After sitting for a while, Zhao Jinge started to work again.
Jiang Zhen didn't know that because of his flirtatious words, Zhao Jinge thought so much.
In fact, he doesn't have much conception of having children in the future.
Before the time-travel, he never thought about the child. After the time-travel, although he knew that Zhao Jinge was a fertile twin, he didn't think too far. The "good fertility" was just a casual remark, just to see Zhao Jinge. shy look.
After eating with Zhao Jinge, Jiang Zhen went to pack up the fish he caught in the morning.
The fish that he threw in the back basket had died a lot, but the loach and other things were still alive... Jiang Zhen started to scrape the fish scales with a sharp pig-killing knife when he got to the river, and cut open the fish maws. The fish are cleaned up.
The fish is easy to clean up, but the loach is too slippery, but it is very troublesome to handle. Jiang Zhen didn't pay attention, and even let a loach escape into the river.
In many places, the loach is not killed. It is cooked and eaten directly after raising it for a few days, but here in Hexi Village, the head of the loach is cut off with scissors, killed, washed and eaten. As for the method...
Poured the loach on the mud next to it, one knife at a time, Jiang Zhen chopped off the heads of all the loach with the sharp knife for killing pigs.
Although the dead loach is still very slippery, at least it will not escape. At this time, it is good to cut their stomachs and squeeze out the intestines in their stomachs.
After dealing with the loach, Jiang Zhen first dealt with the yellow eel that he caught, which was no more than the thickness of the little finger, and cleaned up some of the miscellaneous things.
He brought back the snake yesterday and cooked it by himself, but today... Since he has regarded Brother Zhao Jin as his daughter-in-law, then the parents of Brother Zhao are his parents, so of course he has to be filial.
Speaking of which, he has always respected the old and loved the young. If it weren't for the two old butcher Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, he would never have been able to use a knife against the two old people.
Carrying the bamboo basket, Jiang Zhen went to find Brother Zhao Jin who was turning the ground.
The man who was working looked very attractive. Jiang Zhen wanted to pinch a few hands, but he endured it. He just took out his own bamboo tube for water and gave it to Zhao Jinge: "Come, drink some water and have a rest." Zhao Jinge's Lips are a little dry, probably thirsty.
Zhao Jinge was indeed thirsty, so he took the bamboo tube given by Jiang Zhen and drank the water from a bamboo tube, thinking that he must bring boiled water from home to drink tomorrow.
Seeing that Brother Zhao Jin finished drinking the water, Jiang Zhen put away the bamboo tube and gave him the bamboo basket: "This is for you."
"What is it?" Zhao Jinge opened the lid of the bamboo basket and looked at it, and saw a small fish and shrimp that had been packed in the bamboo basket.
"You take it back and cook it. Even if the taste may not be very good, you should eat more." Jiang Zhen said: "Don't accept it, I can't finish it all by myself."
"Okay..." Zhao Jinge thought that he wanted to take care of his body, nodded immediately, and asked again, "Are you coming over at night?"
"Come on!" Jiang Zhen said immediately, looking at Brother Zhao Jin with some joy. He didn't expect that Brother Zhao Jin would take the initiative to ask him out.
"Then I'll cook it later and leave some for you." Brother Zhao Jin said.
"Okay, let's eat together later." Jiang Zhen was in a better mood, he couldn't help wanting to kiss Brother Zhao Jin, but unfortunately someone might come over here at any time, and he could only regretfully give up his plan in the end.
Brother Zhao Jin smiled, and looked at the things in the bamboo basket a little puzzled: "Why did you put the stone crab in it, and this thing can't be eaten, so it can only be fed to ducks."
"Eating this is good for your health." Jiang Zhen said, the stone crab that Zhao Jinge said was a kind of crab that lived in the rivers and ditches here and was only slightly larger than a one-yuan coin.
This kind of crab crawls everywhere in the countryside and likes to hide under the stones by the water. People in Hexi Village call them stone crabs. They are very small and have no meat at all, so no one will eat them all the time. If they are caught, they are just smashed and fed to ducks.
However, Jiang Zhen thought that chewing a few of these crabs should be able to supplement calcium, so he didn't throw them away, but kept them.
Since Jiang Zhen said that eating this is good, Zhao Jinge secretly decided that he must eat more later.
Thinking of the last time Zhao Dahu's family asked him for loach, Zhao Jinge didn't carry the bamboo basket to return the farm tools after finishing his work.
After returning the farm tools and helping the big family of Zhao to collect the work, he put the bamboo basket he had hidden on his back and went home.
"Father, mother, I'm back." After returning home, Brother Zhao Jin gave the bamboo basket to his mother.
"Brother Jin, are you going to catch fish?" Zhao Liushi glanced at the bamboo basket and asked in surprise, her son had no time to catch fish.
"It wasn't me who caught it, it was Boss Jiang who caught it for me." Brother Zhao Jin said, bowing his head a little embarrassedly.
When Zhao Jinge mentioned Boss Jiang, he felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart, hoping that his parents could ask more questions, but Zhao Liu didn't think much at all: "Is he to thank you for saving him last time? Rather grateful."
Zhao Liu muttered, and then added: "But recently his mother is scolding him in the village every day... If you see him, persuade him a few words, it is his parents after all."
In the past, when Boss Jiang was bullied, the people in He Xicun sympathized with him, but when he suddenly became powerful, the bullied person became Madam Jiang, and the object of everyone's sympathy changed as a matter of course.
But Zhao Jinge felt that Mrs. Jiang deserved it, and couldn't help but feel injustice to Jiang Zhen in his heart, but he couldn't speak, so he didn't refute his mother.
"Our house is out of oil, otherwise the fish made will taste a lot better..." Zhao Liushi sighed. The fish that are too small will dissipate after being boiled, so she steamed them and ate them. For the stone crab she wanted to keep, she cooked a pot with pickles.
There is no seasoning, not even a little bit of oil, so the fish cooked in this way is a bit fishy, but people here have been eating fish for many years and are well accustomed to the fishy smell, but they don't care at all.
Brother Zhao Jin has a good mouth. Those steamed fish don't need to pick out the thorns, they can chew it up and swallow it whole. With pickles, he ate three bowls of porridge in one go.
He also ate a lot of stone crabs, all of which had shells and no meat, but chewing the whole thing with the shells was very delicious.
Zhao's father and Zhao's mother also ate some small fish, but specially reserved some of the eel and loach cooked with pickles, and asked Zhao Jinge to bring it to Boss Jiang.
Zhao Jinge thought so, and nodded immediately, but he did not go to Jiang's house with a bowl, but waited in the thatched hut. As expected, Jiang Zhen came soon.
They ate the eels and loaches separately.
"It's a pity that there are too few seasonings and no oil..." Jiang Zhen ate a piece of eel and couldn't help sighing. At the same time, he began to think about getting some oil to eat.
It's just... There was very little meat and oil in ancient times, and the yield of vegetable oil was low due to poor oil extraction technology. He really has no money to buy it now.
Jiang Zhen can now say that he has nothing, even his body has not been fully nourished, so he put aside these thoughts for the time being.
As for the future... Jiang Zhen's eyes fell on that canal. He was always looking for a way to earn some money to support himself, and the most suitable job in this world for him would be to be a businessman.
He didn't have the skills to make a living in ancient times, and he couldn't do anything other than being a trader. Fortunately, doing business in these days is not as difficult as later generations. The so-called trader, it is only necessary to exchange goods between the two places.
In the days that followed, Jiang Zhen lived almost the same as this day.
In the morning, I tried to find all kinds of edible things, I would have a meal with Zhao Jinge at noon, and in the afternoon, I would go shopping around to continue to find what I could eat...
Small fish and shrimps are things that many people in Hexi Village despise, but the nutrition is still good. After eating for a few days, Jiang Zhen's complexion has improved a lot, and Zhao Jinge looks refreshed. After the seedlings are harvested, the children in the village dig ditches this summer are expected to harvest much less than in previous years.
At this time, Qingming came, and the Jiang family became more and more intolerable to Jiang Zhen.
This Boss Jiang doesn't work every day, but he has to eat and drink well. Why
After Jiang Zhen went out this morning, Mrs. Jiang, the butcher of Jiang, called Jiang Chengcai into their house, and then discussed with Jiang Chengcai how to deal with Jiang Zhen.
Madam Jiang hated Jiang Zhen who had been yelling at her all day long, and she scolded for a while before saying, "This bastard doesn't have enough eggs to eat, she even stole the jar of lard at home yesterday. , why doesn't he die?"
Madam Jiang felt very distressed when she thought of the can of lard. She was so greedy, she used chopsticks to scrape a little lard, but his eldest son took the whole can of lard... I don't know what the pig is now Has the oil been eaten by him
"Mother, what's the use of cursing? Let's think about how to deal with him!" Jiang Chengcai said.
"Be sure to teach him a lesson so that he can work peacefully." Jiang old man said. Madam Jiang only hated the eldest son, but these days, he realized that the eldest son was good.
When his eldest son was willing to work in the fields, where did he need to work so hard
The three of you talked for a long time, but couldn't think of a good way at all. In the end, Jiang Chengcai said: "How about let the third child think of a way? He is the smartest." Jiang Chengcai and Jiang Chengxiang both I went to read, but Jiang Chengcai was a mess, but Jiang Chengxiang learned a lot of skills, and later found a job in the county. Gradually, the Jiang family listened to him for many important things.
"Yes, let Chengxiang help us make up our minds." Butcher Jiang also said, and suddenly remembered something: "We haven't been to the county for a long time, so let's go today and get Chengxiang something to eat. Go and buy the right candles for ancestor worship."
