The Transmigrated Li Jin’s Daily Farming Life
Chapter 62:
This bullock cart is several times more luxurious than Li Zhuzi's. The wheels should have been reinforced. Even if it walks on the bumpy dirt road, it will not be particularly bumpy.
It's just that although the bullock cart has a canopy and the surroundings are covered tightly, it can't match the temperature of January after all, and the cabin is shivering cold.
The brazier cannot be grown casually. It is surrounded by straw and wood, and if one is not careful, it will run out of water.
Therefore, most people do not light a brazier for safety.
Of course, the braziers in the carriages and ox carts of high-ranking officials are all buckled with copper frames, which cannot be compared with those in ordinary people's homes.
Li Jin felt that the coldness on her body was still within her tolerance, but she had been sitting in place for more than a few hours, and she was about to freeze under her calf.
There were a few quilts in the carriage, and Chen Xiran stomped and handed Li Jin a bed.
"Let's take off our shoes and get warm first, or we will sit like this and we will get frostbite on our feet in the county town."
Li Jin thinks that the same is true, so he takes off his cloth shoes in response to kindness.
Now the clothes on his body are made by Qin Muwen from inside to outside, including shoes.The soles are very soft, I don't know how long Qin Muwen has been able to take them one by one.
The inside of the bullock cart was not big, and the two big men couldn't lie down completely, they could only leaning in the corner wrapped in quilts.
Li Jin said, "Does the master who drove the car come to rest?"
He didn't speak loudly, and the wind outside was so fierce that he couldn't hear him. Therefore, Chen Xiran was asked about this.
After all, the master driver and the bullock cart belonged to Chen Xiran's family, and Li Jin was not good at taking the lead.
Originally, Li Jin wanted to hire a ox cart with a canopy with the students who signed up with him. Everyone would share a little of the fare, which was less than a hundred yuan.
But Chen Xiran directly said that his family had a bullock cart. His father used to ride this cart when he went out. During the New Year, everyone was resting and the bullock cart at home was empty.
"A Jin, just follow me all the way. If the road is boring, you can endorse it together."
Li Jin was still feeling that Chen Xiran's consciousness was really high, so he agreed.
But it wasn't until he got into the car himself that he realized that it was cold and he didn't want to move a finger, let alone endorse his mind.
Chen Xiran heard Li Jin's words and shouted: "Master, is it cold?"
"I'm not cold, I'm used to it!"
The master drove very steadily. The three of them set off early in the morning. Now, just after noon, he shouted: "We'll be there in half a day."
Chen Xiran was relieved.
Li Jin covered the quilt and warmed it for a while. After it was finally not as cold as before, he got up and took out the pancakes he had prepared for several people.
There is also sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus, this wine is not high, and it can warm you up in winter.
When it was dark early in the winter, when Li Jin and his party arrived, there were already people on the edge of the low county wall.
"One more..."
Chen Xiran rubbed his hands and said: "One hour and three o'clock is a curfew, we came just right."
With that said, he wanted to enter the city.
Li Jin stopped him. He had asked Mr. Song before that he knew that the county seat was divided into inner and outer cities.
There was a curfew in the inner city. After the drum was knocked at one or three o'clock, everyone did not get out and was forbidden to pass.
Those who were still walking on the inner city street after Mu Gu beat at least forty times.
Of course, the curfew ended when the morning clock struck, and it was five and three o'clock in the morning.
This is how the idiom "Chen Zhong Mu Gu" comes from.
Li Jin said: "We won't enter the inner city today. Although we can just get in right now, we haven't found an inn where we can stay. In case the houses close to the city gate are full, we will count it as a night off. Gauntlet."
After a pause, he went on to say, “It’s better to live in the outer city tonight. Anyway, this time I’m just signing up, not really taking the exam. It’s okay to be far from the county government.”
Chen Xiran knew that he was anxious when he heard the words, so he followed Li Jin along the way and asked if there were any vacancies in the inn.
If you really want to be gauntled by taking off your pants, then this face can be lost.
It was getting late at this time, the inn would definitely increase the price, but they could only admit it.
Finally I found an inn that was not facing the street. The environment seemed clean. The first floor was a place to eat and the second floor provided accommodation.
Xiao Er knew they were scholars when they looked at them, with envy in his eyes.
"We have simple rooms here, no suites, and cheaper, one room 120 yuan a day."
The three of them don't care whether it is simple or not. Chen Xiran is concerned about another point: "Can you provide charcoal fire?"
Xiao Er said: "We have this, and hot soup."
So we finalized three rooms.
The oil lamp was on in the inn, and Li Jin's brows were bright and handsome, and the jaw line was tough.There is no way to see the tiredness of the boat.
Xiao Er watched him register, then got up and led people upstairs.
"Today you came too late. It is one hundred and twenty wen a night. If you have to renew your stay tomorrow and you renew your rent in the daytime, it will be ninety wen."
Li Jin shook his head helplessly when he heard this.But the big environment is like this, he can only accept it silently.
Li Jin and Chen Xiran lived in two rooms next to each other. Each room had only a one-meter-wide bed and a table, which was really simple.
Xiao Er said: "If you take a bath, you can go to the backyard. Our shop is small and does not send hot water. The charcoal bowl will be delivered in a while."
Chen Xiran just wanted to fall asleep, but when the door rang from Li Jin, he packed up his clothes and went to take a bath.
The soup bath in the backyard is a wooden barrel, separated by a half curtain.
The chef in the back kitchen boiled hot water and poured it in directly, which was really convenient.
