Chapter 127.1
In the south of the Yangtze River, there are far fewer people who were good at brewing wine than in north.
But there were still some.
After Zheng Yi and Jiang Zhen left magistrate of Fucheng, thy went to official Shao house
That men also didn’t want to see Zheng Yi but Zheng Yi wasn’t surprised. He just smiled and took out a small jar of wine and gave it to his servant: “Since Master Shao is very busy, we’ll go back first. This is the wine that my Zheng family brewed according to a recipe found in ancient book. I would like to invite Master Shao to taste it.“
The wine jar that Zheng Yi gave was really small and looked ordinary, but he kept smiling all the time which made it harder to refuse. The servant who came to deliver the message thought about it for a moment before accepting it.
Seeing that the man accepted, Zheng Yi smiled again before turning around and leaving.
When Zheng Yi and Jiang Zhen went out, they brought a total of ten small jars. After giving the first few jars in this manner they then meet people who had a good relationship with the Zheng family. So they not only sent out jars but also exchanged greetings.
When the remaining eight jars were delivered it was already almost dark.
At this time, the traffic was very inconvenient, and everything was very slow. . . Jiang Zhen sighed secretly and quickly returned home.
When Jiang Zhen come back, Zhao Jinge was feeding Zhao Mingzhu.
Although Jiang Zhen loved Zhao Mingzhu very much, he didn’t go back less than before so it was Zhao Jinge who accompanied her the most and Zhao Mingzhu was also the closest to him.
However, seeing Jiang Zhen who would often play with her she become unavoidably excited. She opened her hand inviting Jiang Zhen to hug her.
“Daddy’s precious pearl!“ Jiang Zhen held his daughter in his arms and kissed her.
Maybe it’s because Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge were both here. But Zhao Mingzhu didn’t cry when she adapted to living in another place and was even a little excited.
The room Zheng Yi gave them to live in was very beautifully decorated so she looked around at everything. After playing like his for a while she also refused to sleep at her usual time, but fortunately, she was still young and couldn’t hold on like this for a long time. So during playing she feel asleep just like that.
“The child.“ Jiang Zhen took her to bed and went to wash up with Zhao Jinge.
“Jiang Zhen, I want to buy a piece of land near Fucheng,“ Zhao Jinge suddenly said: “I have already inquired with madam Zheng and found a suitable piece of land.“
“Buying land? Why did you suddenly think of buying land? “Jiang Zhen looked at Zhao Jinge in some surprise.
“I want to build a brick kiln here.“ Zhao Jinge said and then added: “The land I want to buy is a small mountain. I think that the brick kiln can be built at the foot of the mountain and on mountain ducks and chicken can be raised. The price of chickens and ducks on this side of Fucheng is than in He Cheng County, so we should be able to make money.“
Zhao Jinge has been thinking about becoming more powerful these days, but he didn’t know much. The only thing he could thing of were things he already come in contact with. Such as building a brick kiln or raising chickens and ducks.
All their chickens and ducks in Hexi Village were raised by haired people but they were all supplied to the escort agency so there was no profit. Zhao Jinge calculated that if all those chickens, ducks and eggs were sold, they would certainly make a profit.
Now he was thinking about doing the same thing in Fucheng.
“My Jinge, do you want to make money?“ Jiang Zhen smiled and looked at Zhao Jinge.
“Yeah.“ Zhao Jinge nodded. In fact, he not only wanted to make money but he also wanted try himself.
When Zhao Jinge looked very serious, Jiang Zhen asked: “This is a good idea but can you do it alone?“
“Can.“ Zhao Jinge immediately said.
“Then it’s up to you. Just tell me how much money you would need.“ Jiang Zhen said.
Whether it’s was a brick kiln or raising chickens and ducks, the investment was not much so he thought it was perfectly fine to let Zhao Jinge try it out. Everyone will be happy if it works out, and it would stil be fine if it doesn’t, he would just need to learn from this experience and try next time.
With Jiang Zhen’s consent, Zhao Jinge thought of what he should do next.
The construction of the brick kiln will certainly require the transfer of people from the Hexi village, so he must think about who could work here. Raising chickens and ducks also needed some preparation, he also needed to think how he would transport burned brick as well as chickens and duck, what to feed the, and how to sell them, there were many things he needed to prepare for.
The more Zhao Jinge thought about it the more excited he become, making him unable to sleep in the end.
At first he was worried about waking Jiang Zhen so even if he couldn’t sleep he didn’t move. But then, thinking that Jiang Zhen should have been asleep, he couldn’t help but start turning over.
The more he thought about various things, the happier he was, but suddenly, he couldn’t help but think of the scene where Jiang Zhen was taken away, feeling the pain in his heart his original happiness dissipated.
Fortunately, Jiang Zhen is still lying next to him. . . Zhao Jinge slowly leaned over, lying next to Jiang Zhen, and kissing him.
Jiang Zhen: “. . .. . .“ not sleeping in the middle of the night and still trying to seduce him. . ..
Originally, because Zhao Mingzhu was in the bed with them, Jiang Zhen did not intend to do anything, but now . . .. . . if he don’t eat the person next to him he really wouldn’t be able to live with himself.
Zhao Jinge who was pressed by Jiang Zhen was afraid of waking up his daughter so gritting his teeth, he didn’t make a sound, but at the end he suddenly laughed.
“What are you laughing at?“ Jiang Zhen nibbled him.
“You forgot to pull out.“ Zhao Jinge said, Jiang Zhen was always very careful so near the end he would pull out early but this time he didn’t do it.
“If you get pregnant, after you give birth we can bring the baby with us just like Zheng Yi and don’t care about anything.“ Jiang Zhen give Zhao Jinge smug look and nibbled him again as he said with a smile.
It’s not that he doesn’t want a child, it’s also not because he thinks bringing up a child is too tiring. . .
Last night Jiang Zhen urged Zhao Jinge to take care of the child but the next day he took initiative to take over the care of Zhao Mingzhu, and let Zhao Jinge go out to buy land for a kiln building.
Because of this, he also send a special message to Zheng Yi, saying that he could not follow to deliver the wine – in fact, this matter wherever he was there or not would not make any difference.
As a result, after Jiang Zhen said that he would not go, Zheng Yi simply decided to also not go. Only letting his wife bring some to Hu family house so that Hu family can send it to people. Then he brought a craftsman who specializes in building gardens to find Jiang Zhen, together with the drawings of the construction of the Qingfeng House.
Jiang Zhen did not know much about the architecture of this era, but some of his ideas were novel, which made that craftsman nod frequently and Zheng Yi admire him a little: “I don’t even know how this head of yours work, how can you come up with so many things.“
“I’m just lucky.“ Jiang Zhen said, if he had not crossed over and was still staying in modern times, he would be nothing more than brute force.
He was lucky settling down in this place but if he wanted to have his luck going he needed to work hard.
