Chapter 155 Greenhouse
Chapter 155 Greenhouse
Ye Wan and Lin Shan often go to Xiaoye Village these days to teach the villagers how to weave bamboo bags.
Today is also another day away from home.
Jiang Ci and Lin Jingsheng went to the town to buy cotton cloth and cotton.
The shopkeeper was a little surprised to see that they wanted so much. Families in this town who could afford enough food and clothing would also buy cotton cloth and cotton to make clothes, but given the price, they usually only bought a little.
"These are 15 taels of silver in total."
Jiangci was shocked. It was really expensive.
"Go buy some more spices. The ones at home are almost out."
"Ever since Ah Ci made the thirteen spices for cooking, I always add the spices to my dishes."
"Well, it tastes better when stir-fried."
Then they went to the bookstore and bought pens, ink, paper, inkstone and an abacus, and also bought oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
These are for Han Zhao's two brothers.
On the first day they arrived, Jiang Ci brought a day to them from home.
He just arrived in town today. Han Zhao bought the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar on credit, and Jiang Ci bought him the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and abacus for accounting.
Jiang Ci met Han Zhao to settle the accounts yesterday, and it was just as Zhou Xi said that day, fast and accurate.
Jiang Ci lamented that professional matters need to be done by professionals.
After returning home, Jiang Ci took these things to the soap factory.
When I arrived at the staff room, I saw Han Zhao and Zhou Xi sitting at the door, basking in the sun and doing toothbrushes.
Zhou Xi used those tools to carve the toothbrush handle, and his technique was quite skillful.
Han Zhao looked a little clumsy as he was threading wool with a needle and thread.
Come to think of it, the young master who used to be served by others at home would of course be unfamiliar with doing this job.
Seeing Jiang Ci coming over, the two of them hurriedly greeted him, "Hello, Boss."
"I brought the things to you."
Zhou Xi quickly put down what he was holding and took it, putting the pen, ink, paper and inkstone into the room, and the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar into the small kitchen over there.
"Have you been doing well here these days?"
“It’s great here, the food and accommodation are very good.”
Jiang Ci asked a few polite questions and then left. It was almost time for lunch and he wanted to go home to cook.
However, after Jiang Ci left, Lin Jing'an came here carrying a bundle of sawn wood.
Han Zhao thanked him, "Thank you."
"These pieces of wood are placed here. Can you two fix them?"
"Zhou Xihui."
"Where's Zhou Xiren? Why isn't he with you? Aren't you usually inseparable?"
As he spoke, Lin Jing'an looked around to see where Zhou Xi was.
"He went to buy vegetables from the villagers."
"Is there anything else you guys need?"
"No more, the boss just sent it to us."
"Brother Ci has been here? There's nothing to do here, so I'll go back first."
Zhou Xi came back with a basket full of vegetables.
"Why so many?"
"The people in this village are very welcoming. I gave them two cents and asked for some, but the aunt said that if we didn't eat the vegetables, they would rot in the field, so she kept giving me some."
When Zhou Xi was pushing Han Zhao's wheelchair, he saw the wood placed against the wall.
"Lin Jing'an has been here."
"Well, I delivered the wood and left."
Zhou Xi pushed Han Zhao to the kitchen door. Han Zhao was picking vegetables in the basket while Zhou Xi was lighting a fire and cooking in the kitchen.
A man came over here from the kitchen in front. He looked a little embarrassed and walked up to the two young men.
"Well, we're out of salt, and I forgot to buy some. Can you lend me some?"
"can."
Zhou Xi took the small clay pot from the man's hand and scooped a small spoonful of salt into it.
The man smiled shyly at Zhou Xi and thanked him, "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
The two of them live very comfortably here and don't have to do any heavy work every day.
The people living in the house in front are considered their neighbors, and the staff room becomes lively at mealtime every day.
The two of them won't be lonely here.
When it was time to go to work at the soap factory, you could faintly hear the voices of the people working there.
They were all men and consciously kept their distance from them.
Occasionally, I would say hello when I met them, and remind them if there was anything I should pay attention to.
You will also come across the two clever little dogs that are kept here, and occasionally other little dogs from the village.
They were wandering around here like they were on patrol, except for the day they first arrived, when they looked at them very warily.
After a few days, they seemed to know that they were also part of the soap factory and began to let down their guard against them.
Han Zhao himself is not a materialistic person. He can eat and dress warmly here, so he is not in a hurry to pay off the money he owes.
The wages for being an accountant here are the same as those for doing manual labor before. If they make some toothbrushes in their spare time, they can pay off the money they owed a few years ago in no time.
And such a comfortable and relaxing environment pleases him even more.
……
When Jiang Ci woke up in the morning, she curled up in the quilt and was a little reluctant to get up. The newly made thin quilt was so comfortable and warm.
Lin Jingsheng felt a little jealous when he saw Jiang Ci rubbing against the quilt again and again.
But he didn't say anything and went to the closet to pick out clothes for Jiang Ci.
Put the clothes on the bed, "Aci, get up."
When putting on his coat, Jiang Ci discovered that the clothes Lin Jingsheng gave him were the new clothes with thin cotton that Ye Wan had made for him a few days ago.
"Why did you bring me such thick clothes?"
Jiang Ci complained that the clothes were too thick, but she didn't stop putting them on.
"It rained a little last night, and it's getting cool outside again."
"It's raining again."
"One autumn rain and another cold."
When I opened the door, I felt the cool air outside. It was indeed a bit cold, but luckily I was wearing thick clothes.
“When does it snow here in winter?”
"In November, there will be some light snow sometimes."
"so early."
After breakfast, Jiang Ci played with the cat at home for a while, and then went to Ye Shuyun and Lin Changfeng’s new home in the back with Lin Jingsheng.
Their family is having a housewarming party today, and the two of them are going over to help.
When we arrived, we saw Ye Shuyun and his father picking vegetables.
These vegetables are the last crop of this season, so half of them were picked because the leaves turned yellow and put into a backpack that looked a little tattered, waiting to be fed to the chickens and sheep later.
Seeing the two of them coming, Ye Shuyun quickly greeted them, "Brother Ci, you are here."
Ye Shuyun pointed to the bench next to him and said, "You sit down."
The two of them sat down next to each other, and Jiang Ci said, "I came here to help, why are you sitting here?"
"It's still early. Let's wait until Feng buys the meat before we get busy."
The two of them also followed suit to pick vegetables.
Not long after, Lin Xi and his mother also came over to help.
They were working and chatting, it was a lively scene.
