Chapter 123 Rules
Chapter 123 Rules
Compared to the villagers' heavy mood, Jiang Jiang was in a very good attitude.
She felt that her mission was mostly accomplished as her family arrived in Jiangzhou safely.
The most difficult days are over. As for getting rich, isn’t it a piece of cake for her?
They found a place to rest outside Jiangzhou City, and the villagers gradually heard a lot of news.
At noon every day, there is a porridge stall outside the city where refugees can line up to get porridge. Occasionally, wealthy families or officials in the city will set up stalls to give out porridge, but the latter depends on luck and is not available every day.
The public security in the vicinity is also guaranteed. The officers and soldiers in the city will patrol outside the city from time to time. If they find anyone burning, killing and looting, they will be directly given a reincarnation meal. The heads of the rioters who wanted to incite civil unrest and fish in troubled waters are now hanging on the city walls.
There is a well on each side of the east and west outside the city. Families who need water can queue up to fetch water every day. They must not be tempted to fetch water near the moat. Violators will be punished.
After a few whippings, the wounds would become inflamed in such hot weather, and in serious cases, the person would hardly survive.
Over time, no one dared to commit the crime.
On the second, fifth and eighth day of every lunar month, there will be a temporary trading place outside the city where people can sell their belongings, buy what they need or barter.
Jiang Jiang calculated the date and tomorrow was exactly the fifteenth.
"Have a good rest tonight. Let's go to the market early tomorrow morning."
There are at least several thousand people outside the city, so the scale of the market must be quite large. Jiang Jiang is rarely interested in this, so it would be even better if he could find some rare and strange things in the market.
She has not forgotten how she got the space to grow crops and raise livestock.
Come to think of it, the crops she planted earlier should be ripe soon.
Jiang Jiang patted Li Cuicui's arm and said, "Sleep well. You have to get up early to go to the market tomorrow. If you see anything good, I will buy it for you."
She had to keep an eye on her lucky star. If she could find some good stuff, she would make a fortune.
Of course, Li Cuicui had no idea what Jiang Jiang was thinking. She thought it was just her mother's obvious preference for her.
She hummed twice on purpose, wanting the whole family to hear that her mother still loved her the most.
Who knew Jiang Jiang's next sentence would be "Go to bed early, mom will buy you some good things tomorrow."
"Okay!"
"Wow, grandma is the best!"
Li Cuicui pouted and glared at Li Changyuan, who was shouting the loudest.
Humph, mom was the first one to tell her, and mom still loves her the most!
The consequence of sleeping in a large dormitory with thousands of people is that you always go to bed late and get up early.
Before dawn, Jiang Jiang was awakened by the rustling sounds around him.
Jiang Jiang could clearly hear the sounds of people walking and talking around him.
Unable to sleep, she turned over and sat up. Seeing Li Cuicui still sleeping soundly beside her, Jiang Jiang could only sigh that it was great to be young, because she slept so deeply that she could not be woken up no matter what.
Thinking back to the past...forget it, a hero never brags about his past achievements.
Jiang Jiang pushed Li Cuicui, who was sleeping soundly.
"Get up, get up, we're going to the market!"
Li Cuicui mumbled something, but Jiang Jiang didn't hear clearly. He only saw Li Cuicui turned over and continued to sleep.
Suddenly, Jiang Jiang came up with a plan. She shouted in Li Cuicui's ear: "Get up and eat oil-splashed noodles!"
"What! What oil-splashed noodles?"
Li Cuicui sat up straight immediately when she heard the voice. She opened one eye and closed the other, looking in the direction of Jiang Jiang.
Oil-splashed noodles are Li Cuicui's favorite food, but unfortunately oil is expensive these days, and she can only have it during festivals.
The oil-splashed noodles made from white flour are chewy, and the oil-splashed chili is full of fragrance, which always whets people's appetite.
Jiang Jiang also had a sudden idea and tried the trick his mother used to wake him up, but he didn't expect it to be so effective.
When Li Cuicui saw Jiang Jiang’s helpless look, she immediately came to her senses, scratched her messy hair, and chuckled twice.
"Mom, I'm going to wash up. Are we really going to have oil-splashed noodles today?"
As she was talking, Li Cuicui slurred her saliva and felt like she could hardly stop drooling.
When the other children in the family heard the words "oil-splashed noodles", it was like a trigger keyword. They all got up and looked at their grandmother, who they thought was omnipotent, with expectant eyes.
Feeling the pressure, Jiang Jiang was defeated.
"Go and have a look. If it's not available at the market, I'll make it for you guys."
It just so happened that there was a lot of flour at home, so she bought some soybean oil or lard at the market. If she didn't have either, she would use the oil in the space to make up for it. Anyway, they didn't know how much oil was left at home.
Jiang Jiang was full of confidence after making up his mind. There was nothing he could do about it, he was just so heroic.
"Great!"
The children in the family applauded, while the adults just smiled helplessly.
Asking Li Changfeng's mother, who was not going out today, to help look after the luggage, Jiang Jiang went out with one child in his left hand and another in his right hand.
After walking a few steps, Jiang Jiang felt a little hot on her back. She looked back and Li Cuicui's fiery eyes almost pierced through her.
Li Laibao acted like a little adult and knew why her aunt was angry. She got off Jiang Jiang, ran to Li Cuicui, and held her big hand with her little hand.
"Aunt, I have been going to class every day these days and have no time to go out with you. I miss you so much."
Who can resist a little girl's coquettishness? At least Li Cuicui can't.
Hearing his voices calling her a little aunt on her left and a little aunt on her right, Li Cuicui completely lost herself. Not only did she not get angry with him, she also paid five cents out of her own pocket to give him some snacks.
You have to know that in the whole family, apart from buying things for Jiang Jiang, Li Cuicui rarely let anyone else use the money she earned hard.
One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten, so let them play by themselves.
The market was held on the open space to the left of the city gate, which was specially cleared for use as a trading market.
This market is always very lively during the 258th market day.
The hawking sounds and the aroma of food made the Jiang Jiang family feel a little dazed, as if they were still in the town and had never left.
At the market, one can occasionally see constables in official uniform patrolling, which clearly shows that official forces within Jiangzhou City are involved.
Come to think of it, the food, clothing, housing and transportation of thousands of people outside the city is a huge piece of pie in any aspect.
But Jiang Jiang didn't worry about it. She was just an ordinary person who just came to the market. What did the Jiangzhou bureaucracy and wealthy businessmen have to do with her?
Instead of thinking about this, you might as well think about how to make the oil-splashed noodles for lunch delicious.
The market was crowded with people, and Jiang Jiang and his friends had to be careful with their children at home, for fear that they would be separated by the surging crowd.
"Mom, come and look at this."
