Lin Zhao didn't have many friends in the private school, so this time he invited Little Fatty, Qi Xing, Tian Rui, and Cheng Yi.

Jiang Ziyan went to the butcher shop in the market early in the morning, bought a few catties of pork ribs, and also selected a few catties of fat and thin meat.In addition, I also bought a few catties of pig ears and pig skin.

This time there was no Zhang Qiu following, Feng Ke came out with him, and helped him carry things by the way.

A few catties of pork ribs and a few catties of pork would be quite heavy, so Butcher Li tied them with a rope from the middle and handed them to Feng Ke.After leaving the pork shop, Jiang Ziyan went to buy another chicken. He didn't like killing chickens, so he asked them to kill them and wash them before coming back to get them.

After the pork and chicken were ready, Jiang Ziyan and I went to buy some dishes. There are the most lotus roots in this season, and the weather is also hot. He plans to make more cold dishes.Besides these, he also bought some common fruits.

After leaving the vegetable market, Jiang Ziyan turned to the pharmacy. Several ingredients needed to make stew were only sold in the pharmacy. People here didn't know that these ingredients could be used for cooking, and they only used them as medicinal materials.

When Feng Ke came back from the market, not only his hands were full of things, but the bamboo basket he carried on his back before going out was also full.There are not many seasonings in this dynasty, but there are still many types of dishes that can be eaten.

After walking around the market, the sun was already shining. Jiang Ziyan estimated the time, and it was around 08:30 in the morning.

In the evening, some of Lin Zhao's classmates were invited to dinner at home. Although it was still early, Jiang Ziyan had already started preparations.

In summer, the weather is sweltering, and cold dishes are mostly vegetarian dishes. Jiang Ziyan wanted to make some meat cold dishes, which would be convenient to serve at night.

He plans to make several kinds of lo mei. A whole chicken can be made into braised chicken by chopping it into pieces, and the pig ears he bought today can also be made into lo mei.If this thing is done well, it tastes crunchy and has a good taste.There is also pigskin, he can make some pigskin jelly, anyway, there are ice cubes in the cellar, so you can make less and give everyone a try.

After school at night.

The little fat man pulled Qi Xing and Tian Rui out on the back as soon as the master left. Knowing that he was going to have dinner at Lin Zhao's house after school this afternoon, he couldn't wait. His mind had already wandered away in the last self-study class. Pack up your things in advance and wait for school.

The three of them waited for Lin Zhao and Cheng Yi at the gate of Class A. All the students of Class A had come out, and the two of them hadn't come out yet.

The little fat man ran into Lu Shaochuan before the two of them came out.In the past, Lu Shaochuan always bullied Cheng Yi relying on his family's wealth, even Lin Zhao who helped Cheng Yi didn't like him.

In the past, he would always find fault in normal times, but most of the time, Lin Zhao and Cheng Yi ignored him, and sometimes they did too much, and Lin Zhao always looked at him with a cold face, which always made him feel a little guilty.

But since Lin Zhao and Cheng Yi got good grades in the government examination last time, he stopped jumping around a lot, but after all, he still felt suffocated.Seeing Zhao Qiping and the others who were waiting for Lin Zhao at the door, they still couldn't help but said coldly: "You guys are the only ones who will flatter you. Let's see who will take care of you when the two of them are admitted as scholars!"

The words were full of saying that Jiang Ziyan and Cheng Yi would look down on them when they became prosperous in the future, sowing discord nakedly.

The little fat man didn't listen to him at all, he just spat and went back, "If you don't know how to speak human language, don't speak."

Lu Shaochuan was so angry that his teeth itched, but the little fat man's father was Zhao Yuanwai, so he couldn't get angry, so he had to shake his sleeves hard, and then let a group of younger brothers go.

Lin Zhao didn't see the episode that happened outside the door. He had a book with one page left to copy, so he left after school.

As soon as he went out, he was stopped by the little fat man, and his tone was full of grievances, "Azhao, why did you come out? I'm going to starve to death, hurry up, let's go to your house!"

Lin Zhao didn't see the episode just now, but Cheng Yi did. He didn't have to rush to copy the book, so he waited for Lin Zhao in the room.At this time, seeing Zhao Qiping's impatient look, he knew that he didn't take Lu Shaochuan's words to heart.What he said about having a broad mind and a fat body is really true. In Zhao Qiping's heart, nothing is more important than delicious food.

Several people walked towards Lin Zhao's house together, and they arrived there after a quarter of an hour.

Jiang Ziyan had almost prepared it a long time ago. He cooked some cold dishes and stewed pork rib soup in the pot, and waited for someone to come and bring the dishes to the table.

The little fat man saw that Jiang Ziyan was so kind, he politely saluted as a scholar, and after washing his hands, he offered to go to the kitchen to serve the dishes.It's hot today, so I put the table directly in the shade of the yard, with the breeze blowing, it's much cooler than the house.

Jiang Ziyan's stewed pork tasted pretty good today, but because it was the first time he made it, he put in too much seasoning, and the color of the stewed pork was darker.

The last dish was brought to the table. Jiang Ziyan sat down and didn't say anything about leaving. He just said in a normal way: "I made a lot of cold dishes today, are you hungry? Hurry up and eat!"

Hearing this, the little fat man quickly moved his chopsticks and put a piece of marinated chicken into his bowl. He had never seen most of the dishes on the table, and he wanted to try everything, but his favorite was meat.

Seeing him eating happily, Qi Xing and the others also moved their chopsticks, and the dishes on the table quickly ran out, which can only be described by four words.

Considering that they are all underage, Jiang Ziyan didn't prepare wine for them. After finishing the pork rib soup, he served them some fruit plates and a bowl of milk tea with ice. Jiang Ziyan knew that they liked to drink , so I boiled a pot of milk tea.

The fruit plate is filled with seasonal fruits that can be bought on the street, and there are a few slices of iced watermelon in it.The stomachs of several people were full, especially the little fat man, who couldn't eat anymore.

Jiang Ziyan bought watermelons in the Shatian, but the melon seedlings he had planted finally yielded some watermelons, but they were soaked in the heavy rain for too long, and many of them were ruined.

After eating and drinking, they talked again. Cheng Yi was also going to take the college exam. Lin Zhao asked him if he wanted to go with them this time, but Cheng Yi refused.

After all, this time it was someone moving, he was embarrassed to live in someone else's house, and he was worried about the mother at home, so he decided to wait until the exam was approaching.

The next morning Lin Zhao still went to the private school to attend classes. Today was the last day of class for them.Tomorrow they will move to Fucheng together.

When school was over, Lin Zhao went to Mr. Cen and told him that he only needed to bring some clothes he usually wears, and he didn't have to worry about the rest.

Mr. Cen did not refuse, but agreed.Lin Zhao is his direct disciple, and a teacher is like a father. Even so, Mr. Cen is very happy in his heart. In his opinion, this is the filial piety of his disciples and a manifestation of good character.

Jiang Ziyan, the supermarket shop in the town, did not intend to sell it. He handed it over to Qingshan to take care of it, and also handed over the management of the brewery to him.

The affairs of the paper mill were handed over to He Xiao for management. Some veterans with good legs and feet said they were willing to follow him to Fucheng, and the rest were handed over to He Xiao for management.

As for Zhang Qiu, he naturally wanted to go with Jiang Ziyan.In addition to him, Zhou Xing, the accountant of the supermarket, is also willing to follow Jiang Ziyan to Fucheng to develop.

Jiang Ziyan didn't bring many people with him this time, besides him, there were only Lin Zhao, Lin Xing, Zhang Qiu, Master Cen, Han Yuxiu and her children.He didn't even bring Feng Ke with him. He thought that Feng Ke would bring Chang Lin Chang Hua with him when the time came. These two were still half-grown children, so he was relieved to have Feng Ke by his side.

As for the others, Jiang Ziyan planned to notify them to come after buying a house in Fucheng, otherwise he couldn't arrange to go to so many people at once.

He didn't bring many things out of the house, most of them were clothes and bedding. He didn't bring any pots and pans from the kitchen. He didn't plan to sell the yard. Qingshan said he wanted to rent it out, so it would be more convenient for him to do things in the future. Jiang Ziyan accepted.

Jiang Ziyan rented two carriages and two mule carts. The mule carts were used to pull goods, and the carriages were used to carry people.

Jiang Ziyan and the others went out before dawn, took a detour to the private school, picked up Master Cen and Han Yuxiu's mother and son, and then set off for Fucheng.

On the way, Jiang Ziyan and Lin Zhaolinxing shared a carriage, Mrs. Cen and Han Yuxiu's mother and son shared a carriage, Zhang Qiu thought the carriage was too stuffy, so he sat under the eaves of the carriage with the driver.

Concerned about Mrs. Cen's age and Han Yuxiu's young child, she walked very slowly along the way.Fortunately, it has just entered July, and the dog days have not yet entered, otherwise, if we move in mid-July, we may suffer from heat stroke on the way.

Jiang Ziyan and his party took advantage of the daytime to hurry and take a rest if it was hot at noon.Qingping Town is about two days away from Fucheng. After a day of driving the day before, at night, they rested in an inn in a town.

The mule cart was full of household belongings, Zhang Qiu was worried, so he went to the stable to guard at night.Fortunately, nothing happened at night, and the next morning, a few people ate something at the inn and went on their way again.

Although they walked slowly along the way, they set off early in the morning and continued on their way at night, and finally arrived at Fucheng when it was dark the next day.

After entering the city, the group of people was full of travel and dust, and their faces were full of fatigue, especially Mrs. Cen, after all, he was old, and he was not very refreshed after such a journey in a carriage.

Jiang Ziyan first went to the inn to settle everyone down, and spent the night in the inn.Early the next morning, Jiang Ziyan took Zhang Qiu to the tooth shop.

The experience of the dental clinic in Fucheng is completely different from that of the dental clinic in the town, just like one is an ordinary customer and the other is a VIP customer.The dental service in Fucheng is obviously much better than that in the town. The dental staff are not only sharp-tongued, but also familiar with the roads of the entire Fucheng, remembering the advantages and disadvantages of each yard clearly, and their professional ability is very good.

When Jiang Ziyan came to Linzhou City last time, he probably visited a few markets, but he didn't know much about residential houses.

After being introduced by the dentist at the dental shop, Jiang Ziyan probably understood a little bit.Probably every place has a rich area and a slum. Fucheng is divided into two parts according to the central street. The east of the city is the rich area. Most of the people who live here are either rich or expensive.The west of the city is where ordinary people and poor people live.

Jiang Ziyan only made a few requirements, one is to travel conveniently, and the other is to be clean.The convenience of travel is convenient when going shopping and shopping, and the cleanliness is naturally for Mr. Cen.

After hearing Jiang Ziyan's request, Yaren quickly recommended three houses to him.Jiang Ziyan planned to live here for a long time, so he had to pick the one he wanted when buying a house. After looking at the blueprint of the house, he said, "Can you take us there? We have a carriage."

Hearing that they have a carriage, Yaren was very happy. The houses in their line of business are actually not easy to sell, because it takes a whole day just to look at one house. It's just a waste of time. If there is a carriage, it will naturally be faster.

"Lang Jun, according to your requirements, the house in the three alleys in the east of the city is suitable for you. You can take a look when it arrives later."

The carriage turned a few turns and entered an alley called Calabash Alley.This alley is not a straight road of equal width, but narrow in the front and wide in the back, shaped like a gourd.

Jiang Ziyan got out of the carriage at the place. This is a courtyard with two entrances. The yard is quite large. After entering, there are three main rooms, four wing rooms on the east and west sides, plus the inverted room, side room, and kitchen room. There are fourteen rooms.

After introducing the overall situation of the house, the Yaman said: "There is a stable in front of this house. If God buys a carriage, it will be used to raise horses. Besides, you can also raise mules, sheep and so on."

Jiang Ziyan didn't speak, but asked Zhang Qiu, "What do you think of this house, Brother Zhang?"

Zhang Qiu didn't know anything else, he just knew that the room was big and bright, but there was one thing he said: "There is a stable in front of it, will the smell be too strong in hot weather?"

What Jiang Ziyan wanted to say made sense, but he didn't refuse, but said: "It's still early, let's go and see the second house!"

The three of them soon came to the second house recommended by Yaxing. The courtyard with the third entry was much larger than the courtyard with the second entry, and it looked much more spacious.A row of cover rooms was added in front, which is the place for servants to live.After entering the gate, pass through the hanging flower gate, which is a hand-painted verandah. There is a stable on the side a few meters away from the middle of the main courtyard, which can raise mules and sheep.The stables in this place are far away from the main house and the stove, so it doesn't have such a big smell.

Jiang Ziyan was quite satisfied with the overall style of the house.

He went into the house and took a look. The furniture in the house needed to be replaced with new ones. The things inside were so old that they had been used for a long time.The walls were also dirty and dusty.If this house is bought, it will take several days to tidy up, which is too troublesome. What he needs now is a house that can be directly moved in with a little addition.

Jiang Ziyan forgot to tell Yaren about this request, so he mentioned it to Yaren when he remembered it.Fortunately, Yaren had several options for this house. Seeing that he was satisfied with the style of this courtyard, he took him to see another courtyard with the same appearance. It was a newer one, and the people in it had just moved out. , You can move in at any time, but the price is a bit more expensive.

Jiang Ziyan went in and took a closer look. The furniture and everything were still in good condition. It was also a courtyard with three entrances, similar to the one I saw just now, but the scenery inside this courtyard was better than that.

He thought the yard was very good, and asked, "How much is the price of this house?"

Yaren saw the scene, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Wang has a good eye. The former owner of this house has just moved away. All the utensils are complete, and you can move in without adding anything. Moreover, this place is very close to the main road in the city. It’s just two alleys away.”

The tooth man had a sharp mouth, and after talking about the advantages of the house, he quoted the price, 1000 taels of silver.

It was getting dark, Jiang Ziyan had to settle the house matters today, and he could move in tomorrow.

After negotiating with the dentist, we finally settled on a deal of 980 taels.Jiang Ziyan quickly paid the money and followed Yaren to the government for filing. After more than an hour, he got the deed of the house.

Yaren has never seen anyone buy a house so swiftly and decisively. It only took one day from viewing the house to buying the house to filing with the government.He is a guy who doesn't open for half a year, but only half a year after opening.He sold such a big house today, and the salary he got from it was at least seventy-eight silver, and he was very happy.

After buying the house, Jiang Ziyan and the others moved in after breakfast the next day.The quilts are all brought by them, the pots and pans in the kitchen are all ready-made, and there is a well in the yard, and the drinking water is for own use.

There are two rows of west wing rooms past the backyard of the Chuihua Gate. Jiang Ziyan lived in Mrs. Cen and Han Yuxiu's mother and son, which is equivalent to an independent house.

There are five rooms in the main room, Jiang Ziyan, Lin Zhao, and Lin Xing each have one room.The East Wing is for Zhang Qiu, Feng Ke and Chang Lin Chang Hua to live in.The stables on the side are just used to raise horses and mules. It is better to have a carriage when going out here.

It took half a day for the whole group to pack their things. Jiang Ziyan saw that it was getting late, so he was going to cook in the kitchen, and Lin Zhao followed behind him to help.

As soon as the two of them came in, they saw Han Yuxiu washing vegetables in the kitchen. When she saw Jiang Ziyan and Lin Zhao coming over, she hurriedly said, "What are you two big men doing here? Didn't you say that gentlemen stay away from the kitchen? Go and rest quickly." Let's go! I'll cook later."

The two were driven out of the kitchen by Han Yuxiu.

Jiang Ziyan felt that they needed a woman to cook and servants to do the work.

The whole family can't ask Han Yuxiu to cook every day, she still has a child to take care of, and she has to take care of Mrs. Cen, so she can't be busy at all.Moreover, the yard is very large and needs to be cleaned, and when horses or sheep are raised in the future, someone needs to be fed with fodder.I still have to quickly buy a few servants to come back to help.

The smoke from the kitchen was rising. They didn't bring much food to Fucheng, and they didn't bring any meat. They could only make some simple noodles.

The three-entry courtyard is indeed beneficial. The house is on the right hand side of the entrance, a row of inverted houses is on the left side, and the screen wall is on the front side. After turning left, it is about ten meters away from the head and sideways to the stove house, where the fire is used for cooking. When it is time, the smoke caused by cooking will not float into the yard.

The meal was simple, but at least he already had a place to live, so he could take his time with the rest.

After the accommodation was arranged, Jiang Ziyan sent Zhang Qiu back to Qingping Town and brought Feng Ke and Changlin Changhua.As for Zhou Xing and the veterans, Jiang Ziyan planned to let them come over after he had finished all the things needed to open the paper mill.

The paper business of Jiangji Paper Mill is very good, but the market is not wide. After all, the road is not easy these days, and the cost of selling is high after a long journey.He plans to open a paper mill in Fucheng.
