Sun Xiaoshan wasn't feeling well last night, but today it's better, and he can sit up.
This nine-year-old child can basically do everything at home. Wang Haisheng asked Wang Yuer to take care of Sun Xiaoshan, and he took Jiang Zhen to clean up the boat.
The boat was a little dirty, but it was well cared for, and it could be seen that the owner took great care of it.
"This ship was newly built seven years ago. The previous one was too broken to hold up. At that time, I saved some money and changed it." Wang Haisheng said, and cleaned up the ship according to Jiang Zhen's request. He also said which parts of the ship need to be repaired, and which places can add more shelves.
"You will?" Jiang Zhen asked.
"Yes, I have always dealt with boats, I can repair boats, and I have a few tools." Wang Haisheng said: "If there are enough materials and a few more tools, I can make one." He lived with his parents since he was a child. On the fishing boat, the boat was a little broken at the beginning, and it had to be repaired from time to time, so he had the ability to repair the boat.
Wang Haisheng doesn't think it's amazing that he can do this. After all, many people who make a living by fishing these days can repair boats, and there are not a few people who can build boats, but Jiang Zhen was a little surprised.
He even wanted to ask Wang Haisheng why he didn't live by this, but he quickly realized that the craftsmen at this time were worthless.
All things are down, only reading is high. At this time, people don't care much about these craftsmanship. Many people who have mastered the skills are also classified as craftsmen, and they don't even have freedom at all.
Being a carpenter or something in the countryside can indeed lead to a better life than a simple peasant, but it is also limited, and such carpenters are basically found in every village, and newcomers will not be accepted at all.
After learning about Wang Haisheng's ability, Jiang Zhen went to chop down a few trees and came back. Then, while repairing the boat, he and Wang Haisheng made some furniture together. Woodworking is not difficult. What, he will be a little bit.
These days, people like heavy furniture and fine carvings, but Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng are limited in their skills, so what they make is ugly and simple. Depends on the chosen wood.
Not all wood is suitable for furniture, and they don't understand it at first...
Fortunately, those woods could not be used as furniture, so they could practice their skills and finally be able to use them as firewood.
Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng have been busy for more than ten days, and during these ten days, it rained almost every day, but it was not the next day.
In some places, spring rain is as expensive as oil, but here, spring rain is simply non-stop without money.
The weather is getting warmer and the rain is plentiful. Hexi Village, which was full of greenery in winter, has become more and more lush and lush, and the camphor trees have also begun to drop their leaves. Up and down, at the same time, new green leaves will quickly cover the entire canopy.
For Wang Haisheng's family, it used to be very sad when it rained all day.
Although the mud house is wet, it can be dehumidified by a fire, and the clothes can be dried, but it is troublesome on the boat.
Sometimes parts of the boat are not well cared for, and wood clothing can even get moldy and rot.
In such an environment, people are always easy to get sick. One of Wang Haisheng's children died just like that. Because of this, Wang Haisheng is now very grateful to Jiang Zhen who took in their family.
After doing the necessary work with Jiang Zhen that day, he went to stuff himself with earthworms and put them into the river to catch fish. All the bamboo baskets that he used to catch fish were taken out of the water, and he planned to give the best fish in it to the river. Jiang Zhen.
"Fishing, why did you live with Boss Jiang recently? You can't live with the fishing boat?" Wang Haisheng was suddenly stopped while carrying a bucket of fish as he was walking back.
"You ask me?" Wang Haisheng glanced at the man and said, "I sold the fishing boat to Jiang Zhen."
The Jiang Zhen the fisherman said was the Boss Jiang, right? The person who asked Wang Haisheng pondered and looked at Wang Haisheng with great sympathy.
Could it be that Jiang Zhen stole this man's boat
Not only did they snatch the boat, but the family seemed to be working for Jiang Zhen now. The six-year-old boy from before took a basket and dug up a basket of wild vegetables and gave them to Jiang Zhen directly.
The villagers who stopped Wang Haisheng did not dare to ask more questions, let alone speak ill of Jiang Zhen. After giving Wang Haisheng a few sympathetic glances, they shook their heads and left, leaving Wang Haisheng completely confused and completely unaware of what happened. matter.
If he doesn't understand, he doesn't want to. Wang Haisheng found Jiang Zhen, and then gave Jiang Zhen a few big fish in his hand.
Jiang Zhen took the fish and gave him some rice that was about the same size as the fish.
Wang Haisheng has no shortage of fish to eat. In fact, their family is tired of eating fish, but they are very rare in rice. They always think that rice is delicious.
Not to mention that Wang Haisheng was tired of eating fish, but Jiang Zhen was also tired of eating fish at this time.
In modern times, fried, fried, grilled, sweet and sour, spicy, steamed, with various seasonings, various cooking methods, and many types of fish, let him eat fish for a year, and he is not picky like him. People will not get tired of eating, but the key is that there is no such condition at all.
He hadn't seen the chili thing at all. Because the oil extraction technology is backward, the oil is very expensive, and the soy sauce is not cheaper than the salt...
But even if it was unpalatable, he still had to eat it, and he had to let Brother Zhao Jin eat with him.
Jiang Zhen killed a few fish, chose one and put it on a steaming rack to steam, while the others were smeared with a little salt to make kippers.
In fact, the people here are very enthusiastic about the dish of salted fish. Unfortunately, salt is too expensive, so they generally do not use salt to salt fish. Jiang Zhen is already a big spender.
Jiang Zhen wanted to give food to Zhao Jinge, so he always started fire separately with Wang Haisheng's family. He made fish that night. He left the best part in the middle, ate the head and tail, and then began to wait for the night to come. .
When it was dark, the Wang Haisheng family next door was also asleep, so Jiang Zhen took the fish and went to find Brother Zhao Jin for a tryst.
He has been sleeping with Zhao Jinge these days.
After being accidentally seen by Zhao Liu, he is now extra careful, using all the anti-reconnaissance skills of his previous life, so that no one found him stealing incense and jade every night.
Of course, he didn't actually steal the incense or the jade... Zhao Jinge is very busy every day, and the two haven't gotten married yet, so naturally he can't really do anything to Zhao Jinge.
Passing the fish in from the window and handing it to Zhao Jinge to hold it, Jiang Zhen propped up his hands and quietly entered Zhao Jinge's room, then took out a small candle and lit it.
By candlelight, Zhao Jinge slowly started to eat the fish.
This fish, Zhao Jinge, is actually tired of eating it, but this is what Jiang Zhen brought him to eat. No matter how bad it is, he will eat it cleanly, not to mention that he is not someone who doesn't know what to do. He is very clear that Jiang Zhen makes He eats fish for his own good.
Although he didn't get sick before, he often had sore knees and cramps from time to time. Recently, these problems have never happened again.
Zhao Jinge ate the fish in silence and never said a word. Jiang Zhenan looked at him quietly and did not speak either.
This is because they are likely to be discovered by Zhao Fugui and Zhao Liushi when they talk, and also because... It's good to stay together without talking.
That night, the two were still chatting while covering the quilt.
Jiang Zhen once again sighed at his powerful self-control. Although he lived with his comrades a lot in the past, they were all straight, so he had no idea about them, but Zhao Jinge was different, this was the person he liked.
The person he likes is lying beside him, and he can still be unmoved, that is also a skill!
Of course, on the surface he didn't move, but in fact... God knows how much tofu Zhao Jinge has been secretly eaten by him, and... Zhao Jinge himself should know.
Maybe he didn't know it the first night, but when Jiang Zhen moved his hands and feet later, he was clearly awake, but he kept pretending to be asleep.
Early in the morning, Jiang Zhen left, and took the bowl he brought with him.
Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng have almost completely remodeled the fishing boat. They were using wood to make boxes by the river. Suddenly, an acquaintance walked along the river. The man was dressed in yamen clothes. Yang Jiang.
It has been raining these days, and there is nothing to do in the yamen. Yang Jiang is tired of staying at home. He could not help but want to go to the casino to play. However, Jiang Zhen asked him something a few days ago and scared him. I'm not in the mood to go out to drink and gamble with others.
But in the end, it was too boring and there was nothing to do... Yang Jiang finally ran to the pier in the rain, tossing the third Jiang while helping Jiang Zhen inquire about the seafood business.
Now Jiang Laosan has tossed enough, and Jiang Zhen asked him to inquire about things, so he came to Hexi Village.
The previous experience made Yang Jiang have a psychological shadow on He Xi Village, and he didn't want to enter the village to be surrounded by people, so when he saw Jiang Zhen and Yang Jiang staying by the river, he immediately showed joy.
"Boss!" Yang Jiang greeted Jiang Zhen.
"Is there any news?" Jiang Zhen asked.
"There is news, boss. Those people in the county who go to the seaside to buy seafood will set off tomorrow. They are willing to take you with you. If you want to go, go to the west of the wharf early tomorrow to find them." Yang Jiang said.
Jiang Zhen nodded and asked for some details, while Yang Jiang carefully explained everything he knew, and added: "The people at the seaside really like food, if you can decorate the food, you can also Sold for a good price."
Yang Jiang said a lot, and suddenly said at the end, "Boss, I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter?" Jiang Zhen asked.
"It's that third Jiang, his errand is gone." Yang Jiang laughed twice.
Jiang Chengxiang's errand, I don't know how many people are watching, it was not easy for him to sit firmly before.
Although Yang Jiang is a yamen, it is impossible to find faults in a big way. He simply contacted a person who wanted Jiang Chengxiang's errand and helped him a little...
That man is also capable. He also has an uncle who is a small butler on the dock, doesn't that squeeze Jiang Chengxiang out? After getting Jiang Chengxiang's job yesterday, he also gave Yang Jiang two taels of silver as a thank you gift.
Yang Jiang was very proud in his heart, and at the same time looked at Jiang Zhen carefully, lest Jiang Zhen be angry.
However, Jiang Zhen was not angry, and smiled: "There are so many places in the Jiang family, but Jiang butcher and Jiang Lao Er can't grow it at all. He really should come back and help."
"That's right, that's it." Yang Jiang nodded again and again, finally heaving a sigh of relief.
After talking with Jiang Zhen for a while, Yang Jiang and Jiang Zhen left. Jiang Zhen was thinking about tomorrow's affairs, and also walked home with Wang Haisheng, and made a special detour from Jiang's house.
Near Jiang's house, Jiang Zhen really saw Jiang Chengxiang whom Yang Jiang had mentioned to him not long ago.
Jiang Chengxiang has always been well-dressed and his hair meticulously combed, but now he looks a little messy.
Jiang Chengxiang has had a bad day these days.
After Jiang Zhen released Yang Jiang, he thought that his life would gradually return to the right track, but it turned out that he thought too much.
He encountered a lot of troubles, such as Zhu Shufen's unwillingness to go home with him, and for example, there were always people who couldn't get along with him on the pier.
He still likes Zhu Shufen very much, and even more like Zhu Shufen's family situation - Zhu Shufen's father, there is a great hope that he can be admitted to Juren!
Because of this, he went to Zhu's house several times a few days ago, apologizing and being Xiao Fu Di.
Zhu Shufen has already worshipped him. Although the Zhu family was not satisfied that he took the money from Zhu Shufen's bottom of the box, it was impossible for Zhu Shufen to separate from him because of such a little thing, and let him take Zhu Shufen back.
As a result... Zhu Shufen just picked it up, and his errand was gone!
In the past, he had an income of 2 taels a month at the dock, so he could naturally live comfortably in the county town, but now he lost his job, and all his previous savings were paid to Jiang Zhen...
In the end, Jiang Chengxiang could only bring Zhu Shufen back to Hexi Village in despair, otherwise they might not even be able to eat.
And now, Jiang Chengxiang, who had just returned, saw Jiang Zhen who had harmed him so much at a glance.
