Chapter 33: Moving

When he saw the wild dog carrying the coffin to be carried into the car, Li Zhang, who couldn't bear it, finally broke out, not only scolded the wild dog back, but also commanded Douzi to throw down all the rags on the car, and only picked some things that could be used to bring them, such as pots and pans, etc., as for those rags, stinky bedding were all thrown out of the car, although the raccoon dog and the ugly girl were reluctant, Li Zhang promised that there would be new clothes and bedding after moving, which made them reluctantly agree.

The ox cart walked slowly in front, the raccoon dog and a few other young children sat in the car and sang, Li Zhang followed behind, and they had to take care of the things on the car when they encountered potholes and did not fall down, Lu Wu and the uncle who drove the car sat in the front of the car, chatting without a word.

It is still the road that entered the city last time, the ox cart came to the corner gate along the Bianhe River, and then entered Kaifeng City through the corner gate, there were many people and cars in the city, and the ox cart went more slowly, and finally walked from the city gate for more than half an hour, and then came to the shop on Wuqi Street, Li Zhang took out the key around his neck to open the shop door, and then everyone worked together to move the things on the car to the back yard.

Lu Wu went to settle the bill with the coachman, and Li Zhang took the beans and they went up to the second floor, which was also the first time they came here, so they all looked extremely curious, the furniture on the second floor was complete, and there were many clothes from the previous family on the ground, which made the ugly lady very happy, and took a few girls such as Tanuki to pick up the clothes and bedding on the ground, especially some women's clothes, which made them even more happy to compare on themselves, it seems that no matter how poor they are, they can't erase the woman's love for beauty.

"Clean up the second floor, pick out the clothes and bedding, take it to the yard and wash it if you can use it, and throw it away if you can't use it, and we'll live here in the future, the girl lives in the inner room, and the boy lives in the outer room!" Li Zhang opened his mouth and commanded, the second floor is divided into two rooms, the inner room was originally a bedroom, there are two beds, but it is relatively small, the ugly girl and the raccoon dog and a few girls live in it, and the outer room is a living room, Li Zhang and they can live if they squeeze it.

Hearing Li Zhang's order, the ugly lady and their gang all cheered, although more than a dozen of them lived in two rooms and were a little crowded, but after all, it was a formal room, compared to the shack they had built outside Yizhuang before, it was much stronger, and there were so many clothes, even if they were worn by others, but they were better than their previous torn clothes, in fact, Li Zhang had thrown away all those torn clothes, and now they had no other clothes except for the newly made clothes they were wearing.

With the good expectation of living in a new house, the ugly girl they also gave full play to the greatest vitality, the girl packed up the clothes and bedding, took it to the yard to fetch water to wash, the yard has a back door, open the back door is an alley, there is a well in the alley, it is shared by all the residents in the alley, the ugly lady they have little strength, so the wild dog was sent to help them carry water.

Li Zhang took the beans and their group of boys to tidy up the furniture, the entire second floor was obviously turned over, not only the clothes and bedding were thrown all over the ground, but the tables and cabinets were also moved, Li Zhang estimated that after the death of this family, someone came in to find the family's belongings, it may be a servant, or it may be the landlord Li Shopkeeper, anyway, the valuable things in the house are gone, such as the copper mirror and jewelry on the dresser in the room, which are obviously taken away a long time ago.

However, Li Zhang didn't expect any windfall, and these daily necessities were already very valuable to them, and after the furniture was reset, they were all tired and sweaty, and then they cleaned up, and the entire second floor immediately became brand new, and they also had a bit of a homely appearance.

After cleaning up the second floor, Li Zhang and they came to the first floor to clean up, because the previous murder case happened on the first floor, so many of the furniture on the first floor were stained with blood, and now they are piled up in the yard by Li's shopkeeper, Li Zhang checked these furniture, many of them are good wood, so they cleaned it together, and some blood stains that could not be cleaned off, so they simply bought paint and repainted it, and then moved it to the shop and put it in the store.

Of course, it is definitely not enough to just put some furniture, because Li Zhang and they want to do the business of braised meat, so they definitely need some specific things, such as the most important thing is a big stove, this shop used to sell cloth, although there is a kitchen in the back, but it is only for domestic use, and it cannot meet the needs of braised meat at all, so it is necessary to build a big stove again.

The stove looks simple, but in fact, it also needs a certain amount of technology, to glue Li Zhang, when they do business, they are all building a simple stove at the dock, although it can also be used, but there are many problems, such as low efficiency, firewood consumption is too fast, etc., now it is officially open for business, so Li Zhang specially asked Lu Wu to help him find a mason, and it took most of the day to build a stove.

At this time, the ugly girls also washed their clothes, and the bedding was dried all afternoon, and there was a dry smell, Li Zhang also ran to the vegetable market with Douzi in person, very close, next to the Wu Qi Temple at the end of the street, and the two also bought a lot of vegetables when they came back, and then Li Zhang was ready to cook a few good dishes in person, and everyone celebrated well, but it was a pity that Lu Wu had something to go to the yamen, and there was no way to celebrate with them.

However, when Li Zhang and they were washing vegetables, they suddenly heard a burst of "giggle" laughter from the top of their heads, and when they looked up, they found that there was a little girl riding on the wall, with two pigtails on her head, looking at them with interest.

"Are you new neighbors?" The little girl saw that she had been discovered, and immediately asked Li Zhang curiously, this girl looked about the same size as a raccoon dog, her round little face was chubby, and she looked extremely cute.

"yes, do you live next door?" Tanuki rarely saw a girl of the same age, and asked curiously at the moment, the ugly girl and the girls are older than her, and they usually get along more like sisters than playmates.

"Well, my family lives next to it, but how dare you live in this courtyard, this is a haunted house, my father and mother usually don't let me pass by your door." The little girl on the wall tilted her head and asked the raccoon.

"Is it really haunted?" Before the raccoon dog could answer, the huo zi next to him asked with a big change in his face, this kid is most afraid of ghosts, and he may not be able to sleep all night when he hears a ghost.

"Where are there ghosts, it's just that people have died in the house, and people outside are just spreading falsehoods." Li Zhang said with a smile, then he raised his head and said to the little girl, "Our two families will be neighbors in the future, and you can often come to play with us in the future, this is my sister Tanuki!" ”

Li Zhang also wanted to let the raccoon dog have multiple playmates, so he finally pointed to the raccoon dog and introduced it. The little girl also smiled sweetly at the name of the raccoon dog, but then she said to Li Zhang: "I'm not lying, this house of yours is really haunted, I heard something in the yard a few nights ago, and I didn't dare to sleep when I was scared." ”

As soon as the little girl's words came out, Huozi's face turned white with fright, but Li Zhang said indifferently: "Maybe there are rats in the house, and even if there are ghosts, ghosts are also afraid of people, I have lived in Yizhuang for so many years before, and I have never seen any ghosts." ”

Li Zhang's words finally relieved Huozi a little, and at this time, Li Zhang raised his head again and said to the little girl above: "We're going to cook, do you want to come down and eat with us?" ”

"No, my dad's soup cake is the best on the whole street, and my dad is going to call me to eat later!" The little girl on the wall spoke again, and when she talked about her father's soup cakes, her little face was full of pride.

Seeing that the little girl refused to come down, Li Zhang also smiled and didn't say anything, but the raccoon dog came to the wall curiously and chatted with the other party, and learned from the other party's words that this little girl's name is Cai Niang, the only daughter of the couple in the soup cake shop next door, one year younger than the raccoon dog, she heard movement in the yard here, so she climbed up the wall to peek.

Li Zhang didn't pay attention to the interaction between the two little girls, and immediately took the washed dishes to the kitchen to start stir-frying, today he cut a few catties of good meat, fried four meat, four vegetables and eight dishes, each dish is very sufficient, and there is also a large pot of porridge and two baskets of cooking cakes, in addition to the wild dog, the big stomach, the beans can also be eaten by their half-sized children, so Li Zhang's family eating is also a problem.

"It's so fragrant, what kind of food do you make?" As soon as Li Zhang finished the dishes, he heard the girl on the wall shouting, and when Li Zhang poked his head out of the window, he found that this girl was riding on the wall and sniffing the fragrance wafting from the kitchen, which looked like a puppy looking for milk to eat.

"My eldest brother's cooking is also delicious, especially our family's braised pork, as long as you have eaten it, you can say that it is good!" At this time, the raccoon dog also proudly boasted to Cai Niang on the wall, the children's competitiveness is strong, just now Cai Niang praised her soup cakes, and at this time the raccoon dog also boasted back.

The meal was ready, Li Zhang came out and was about to ask the raccoon dog to eat, and by the way, he also wanted to invite Cai Niang to eat together, after all, this girl's saliva was about to flow out, but before he could speak, he heard someone next door calling Cai Niang to eat, it was estimated that it was her parents, so the little girl waved goodbye to the raccoon dog, and then went down a tree by the wall.

After a lively dinner, it was also dark at this time, the ugly lady and the bean they couldn't wait to go to the second floor to sleep, because the bed was not enough, Li Zhang and they were on the floor outside, but it didn't matter, anyway, they were all wooden buildings, and there was no difference between the wooden floor and the bed board, but Huozi was still a little worried about the haunting, but the night passed, but nothing happened.

In the next few days, Li Zhang and the others were also busy preparing for the opening of the new store, and everything was ready for the day, and they planned to open tomorrow to officially do business, but they didn't expect that a group of people suddenly broke into the store, and threatened that they would not be able to do business!
