Jiang Ziyan came back just in time for dinner, and Zhang Qiu and the others would come over tomorrow, so he had to make preparations early.

Early the next morning, he went to the market to buy vegetables. He bought some green vegetables and radishes, a few catties of fat and thin pork, a few trotters, and a few catties of pork ribs. He was going to wait for Zhang Qiu and the others to come. Cook them a delicious treat.

Here, Zhang Qiu and the others set off before dawn. Everyone was carrying a bag, and there was nothing valuable in it, just some old clothes and some utensils for eating.

After Jiang Ziyan left yesterday afternoon, they started to pack their things. He Xiao went and returned the rented yard. Everyone was so excited that they couldn't sleep at night.

There were several old men crowded on the big bed in one room, unable to sleep at night, and started chatting.

"Old He, do you think we are really going to work to earn money tomorrow? I feel a little fake."

"What are you thinking, Mr. Jiang has a strong character, how could there be any falsehood in what he said."

"That's true."

For a long time, no one said anything, and suddenly someone sighed: "I just won't live in the county in the future, and I'm going to the town."

The person next to him slapped him, "What are you talking about, what's the good of staying here, if you don't have enough to eat and don't wear warm clothes, just let everyone slow down?"

The man hurriedly begged for mercy, "Hey, hey, I was wrong, I just said it casually!"

Everyone was used to joking, and soon they started talking about nasty jokes. They felt that the day was not so cold this night.

The other method He Xiao mentioned was actually to find a few ox carts and make an agreement with a few nearby farmers with cattle the day before.The carriage was expensive, they didn't want to waste money, and they didn't want Jiang Ziyan to spend money.

Several people can sit on the ox-drawn cart, but it is cold in the morning, the jackets on them are very old, and the cotton inside has not been washed warm enough, and they all hug each other tightly along the way. Group to keep warm.

The driver of the cart is a farmer. When the family’s ox cart is not farming, it is used to pull people to pick up the work and earn some money to subsidize the family.

Since Zhang Qiu and the others set off early, they arrived at Qingping Town before noon.Jiang Ziyan knew that they would arrive early today, so he went home after buying vegetables, washed and marinated the meat, and then came out to wait for them.

Sure enough, he waited not long at the agreed place before he saw Zhang Qiu and the others.

Jiang Ziyan got into one of their bullock carts which had some open space, and took them to another courtyard.

The yard was tidied up a few days ago. The east wing and the west wing are all Datong shops. The rooms are very big, enough for them to sleep.

The room is clean and tidy, and the bedding is complete.When the weather was good a few days ago, he specially asked Qingshan to take out a piece of it to dry in the sun. At this time, the quilt was soft to the touch and warm when covered.

Jiang Ziyan took them into the house to look at the room, and then briefly introduced the things in the room, asking them to put down the things first, and go to the house with him as a guest.

The veterans didn't want to leave when they saw the soft quilts. They didn't have enough quilts to cover them when they slept before, and they basically covered a quilt for two.And the quilt has been wet for a long time, and it is hard and not warm at all.

"It happened in a hurry, so please don't be disgusted with it." Jiang Ziyan saw that they were all standing there, afraid that they would feel that the conditions were not good, so he explained.

The veterans hurriedly said: "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it." This is already very good for them, as long as the Datong shop is warm enough.

Zhang Qiu was also very satisfied looking at it. His face was full of joy, and he came over to talk to Jiang Ziyan, "Second brother, you said that you want to entertain us, do you want to invite us out to dinner? There are so many of us, you can't help it." It’s a lot of money, so forget it, we’ll just eat whatever we want.”

"No, Brother Zhang, I bought vegetables and meat, and I'm going to cook for you. I'll tell you guys later, come to my house."

Zhang Qiu's eyes lit up, "That's good, I haven't been to my second brother's house yet!"

Speaking of Zhang Qiu, he hugged half of his shoulders like two brothers and lowered his voice: "Second brother, tell me the truth, do you have a Tibetan beauty in your family?" His tone of voice was very serious, Jiang Ziyan You can tell what he means when you hear it.

He suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't forget to retort, "Brother Zhang, what are you talking about! I'm still young, what a beautiful girl, I'm a person who wants to work hard to make money, and I won't think about feelings for the time being."

Zhang Qiu only thought he was shy, and burst out laughing.

But speaking of Zangmei Jiaoniang, this reminds Jiang Ziyan that there is a little star in his family, he has always been a little shy of strangers, so he should say hello to them first.

So Jiang Ziyan mentioned that he had two younger brothers in his family, and then euphemistically said that the youngest brother was a little different from ordinary people, and hoped that everyone would not scare him when the time came.

Of course, those present agreed.After seeing Lin Xing at Jiang Ziyan's house, a group of rough men stared at him curiously.

Lin Xing's appearance is completely different from Lin Zhao's. Lin Xing has a gentle appearance, fair skin, and a pair of watery eyes that make people feel cute when looking at you.

Although he couldn't speak, he sat obediently beside Jiang Ziyan at the dinner table without making noise, and his cute appearance instantly captured the hearts of rough men.

Lin Xing felt a little timid when he felt the enthusiasm of these new uncles, but he hid in the house without fear.

There was only one dining table in the house, and it must not be enough to sit on. Jiang Ziyan bought a few more from a few neighbors.

When Lin Zhao came back from school at noon, he heard very lively voices at home from a long distance away.Yesterday Jiang Ziyan told him that some people would come, but Lin Zhao did not expect so many people.

When I opened the door, I saw that there were five tables fully seated in the yard.

Jiang Ziyan was still busy in the kitchen. Today he made a big pot of rice and stewed pork rib soup, but there was only one big pot and one small pot at home, which was not enough, so he was still busy.

However, there were already several dishes on the table. Little Lin Xing was sitting in front of the stove in the kitchen and lighting the fire for Jiang Ziyan. This was the last dish.

After filling out the whole white rice, the rice was always ready, Lin Zhao greeted the people around, and sat down next to Jiang Ziyan.

At the beginning, it was all about scenes, especially those veterans. Although they hadn't been on the battlefield for ten years, they had stayed in the barracks after all, and they talked like Lao Tzu's, with a rough man's air.

You came and I talked for a while and then started to move the chopsticks. The radish stewed pig's feet tasted very good today. Jiang Ziyan specially added chili peppers, star anise, a little sugar, and a lot of fine salt that he purified.

As soon as Zhang Qiu took a bite, he felt that the pig's trotters were extremely delicious, with a hint of spiciness in the tendons, the pungency of the radish was neutralized by the sugar, the spiciness was sweet, and there was an indescribable fragrance.

"Second brother, your cooking skills are really good, right? This is better than the food cooked in the most famous restaurant in Fengyang County."

While Zhang Qiu was talking, he still didn't forget to pick up the food, for fear that the food would be gone if he stretched out his hands too late.As expected, the meat dishes on the table were eaten up by everyone within a few minutes.They feel that none of the meat they have eaten in their life is as delicious as this meal.

After eating and drinking enough, everyone did not get up, and everyone chatted with each other sentence by sentence.

Someone sighed, "It would be great if there was wine at this time."

Jiang Ziyan smiled and said: "It will take a while if you want to drink, and I will make wine for you when the fresh fruits come down." The wine sold outside is all spirits, and the price is high, mainly because the taste is better than what he tasted before. The Erguotou I bought was still a lot worse, so I didn't buy some back.

"Second brother, why do you know everything? You are so versatile. Whose young master are you? Didn't you sneak out and run away from home?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Zhao quietly pricked up his ears and listened. From the time we met to now, he had never asked about Jiang Ziyan's background. He didn't dare to ask, for fear that he would not mention it and then left. .

Jiang Ziyan was stunned for a moment, he didn't know how to explain the truth, did he want to explain that he was not from this era, but from time travel?Of course not, if someone finds out, they might treat him as a monster and beat him to death.

What did he say?Speaking of Jiang Yu's identity?That is not acceptable, who knows if it will attract pursuit.

Jiang Ziyan had no choice but to make up nonsense, "My family used to be pretty good, but then my parents disappeared, and my aunt didn't like me so she kicked me out."

"What? Brother Yan, you are such a good person, there are still people who can't get used to it? Don't be sad, you will be my own brother from now on, and I won't let others bully you!"

"Yes, sir, we will all be your backing from now on!"

Although it was a lie, everyone present took it seriously. Lin Zhao felt a little distressed, and felt that the injuries all over his body when he met him at the beginning should be caused by the aunt he said to find someone to do.But all of this has passed, and he will gradually become stronger in the future, and no one can bully his brother.

After Zhang Qiu and the others settled down, Jiang Ziyan started to make paper.

On the second day, he went early to the place where salt stones were often sold in the market, because he often came to buy salt stones, and the vendor already knew him.

The small vendor's surname is Han, and his name is Han Hao. He is young, fifteen or sixteen years old, but he is already very good at doing business.

He was very happy to see Jiang Ziyan coming over. This is a regular customer, and he will definitely bring him a lot of money when he comes.

Han Hao warmly entertained him: "Lang Jun is here, why is it so early today, do you still want to buy salt stones?"

"No, I'm here to see if there is a white stone that can be used to make lime."

When Han Hao heard this, he was even more pleasantly surprised. He said that the people around him must be attracting money.

He opened a bamboo basket in the corner next to it, and there was a basket of limestone in it, "Lang Jun, is this what you are talking about?"

Jiang Ziyan was also very pleasantly surprised. He had just come to see it with the mentality of trying, but he didn't expect it to exist here.

"How many do you have here and how do you sell them? I want them all."

Han Hao became more considerate, and the smile on the corner of his mouth almost reached his ears. He hadn't sold this thing since he came back from the chisel, and he only brought a little every day to try his luck.He knew it could be used as lime, so he sold it. He didn't expect to meet a buyer before.

"Big pieces of five articles, small pieces of three articles."

The price was so low that Jiang Ziyan bought his entire basket directly.

"Brother, I would like to ask, where did you chisel out these stones, is it convenient for me to provide them for a long time?"

Han Hao hurriedly said: "It's on the stone mountain in the west, it's convenient and convenient, you can have as much as you want!" Many people know this news, but the stone is hard, so it's not easy to dig. He could pry so much, so he wasn't worried that Jiang Ziyan would know the news.

"What do you call my little brother, I want to talk to you about the purchase of limestone in detail."

It was the first time that Han Hao was asked her name by such a good-looking person, a few traces of blush suddenly rushed to her cheeks, and her usual sharp lips stammered instantly: "I, my name is Han Hao."
