Chapter 4 The so-called golden finger
When she was changing clothes, Mrs. Jiang found that the girl had a deep wound on her right shoulder, which was congealed and bruised, and had not yet scarred. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Thinking about the injury, Jiang Qiao couldn't help but think about something more.
Soon, the girl unexpectedly started a fever. Jiang Qiao resigned himself to rushing to the town again to buy medicine for this girl of unknown origin.
That money is still 500 wen saved from selling meat last time.
Hurried all the way, and Jiang Qiao finally arrived home when it was almost dark. Mrs. Jiang was busy boiling medicine, and her uncle and nephew could only soak the leftover pancakes in the morning as dinner and soak them in hot water to eat.
The girl had fine skin and tender meat, but she didn't expect her life to be hard, and a bowl of bitter medicine was stuffy, and the fever slowly subsided. But Mrs. Jiang still couldn't rest assured, so she simply slept with the hard-nosed girl at night.
The dog who was temporarily abandoned by Mrs. Jiang could only defect to Jiang Qiao.
Jiang Qiao hugged the dog like a small stove and fell asleep contentedly.
I don't know how long it took, the feeling of weightlessness hit, Jiang Qiao had a strange intuition, he knew that he was dreaming.
In my dreams, there are thousands of acres of fertile fields, long rivers, lofty mountains, and ...... Tiger!
it! Isn't this the golden finger from last time?
Jiang Qiao floated in the space and found that the majestic tiger had cowered on the edge of a cave and fell asleep. He breathed a sigh of relief and felt that this was a good opportunity.
At least take a look at what kind of gold finger this is.
Jiang Qiao noticed the difference at first sight: he clearly remembered that the last time he came in, although there were thousands of acres of fertile land here, there was not a single grain tree, but now a large field of green wheat seedlings has grown!
What's going on? Jiang Qiao pondered for a while, and suddenly found that the place where the wheat seedlings grew was the same place where he threw the pancake and smashed the tiger last time!
The variety of crops in this era was very small, and the yield was extremely low, and it was clearly a variety that had not been cross-bred. Take the half-acre fence opened by Mrs. Jiang in the backyard as an example, tossing a season can only collect a few handfuls of brown rice, and their family of three will eat a few meals, which does not play a big role in solving the problem of food and clothing. It's just that Qinghe Village is backed by mountains, and there are many wild grasses and wild vegetables, so they took the land to grow rice.
So why not open up more fields?
As far as Jiang Qiao has learned in the past two months, the land annexation in this country has not yet begun, and the land in front of and behind the houses of the common people can be used freely. But the problem lies in the land!
This is a country where the land is severely salinized! What does salinization of land mean? This means that even if enough seeds are planted, it is likely that not a single seedling will emerge. Mrs. Jiang's half-acre fence land can harvest a few handfuls, which is already very carefully managed.
Jiang Qiao's heart couldn't help but burst into ecstasy. He just threw a piece of pancake! A piece of pancake is a penny! Harvest such a large field of wheat for a penny!
Jiang Qiao is not in the agricultural products business, but he is from a poor background, and he knows a little bit of agricultural knowledge, and he has also seen the half acre of land in the Empress Dowager Jiang's courtyard, and the wheat seedlings are definitely not as good as this one!
After being excited, Jiang Qiao's face collapsed again. There are tigers here, and they are not friendly to him.
Thinking about something, Jiang Qiao's back was cold, and when he turned around, he found that the giant tiger had woken up.
"You ......" Jiang Qiao's brain was stunned, and his legs and stomach were weak first.
The Tiger King was crawling beside the cave as usual, staring at Jiang Qiao for more than ten minutes, and seeing that Jiang Qiao couldn't stand it anymore, he looked away like a charity, and slowly got up and walked towards the deep mountains and old forests.
Mr. Jiang greeted the whole family of the Tiger King, sat on the ground and wiped his sweat, and began to think about how to use this golden finger.
When his mother is old, she will always have a headache and brain fever, and the medical conditions in ancient times are poor, so she must take good care of it; The dog is also three and a half years old, and he doesn't even have a serious name until now, and it is his responsibility to study, marry, and start a family in the future. But looking at their house, except for the six newly built houses and the mules that Jiang Qiao had just bought, there was nothing, just three mouths.
If nothing else, at least solve the problem of food and clothing for the whole family.
Clenched his fists, Jiang Qiao made a decision: Don't say it's a tiger, no matter how dangerous it is, you have to use this thing.
After making up his mind, Jiang Qiao also calmed down. After all, he had been through the wind and waves, and he began to think about it seriously.
The first question is how to live peacefully with that tiger...... couldn't think of it for the time being, so Jiang Qiao skipped it directly.
And then there is Mrs. Jiang. What is the situation in their family, Mrs. Jiang knows better than Jiang Qiao, he suddenly got a bunch of grain, how to explain it to Mrs. Jiang?
Besides, those villagers in Qinghe Village are not stupid, seeing that the Lao Jiang family has fallen, why did they suddenly turn over again? He can't just tell people the reason stupidly!
Looks like we'll have to figure out a way to cover up.
Jiang Qiao put these aside, carefully observed the wheat seedlings, and determined that the soil in this space was not only not saline-alkali land, but also had the function of improving seeds, and ...... Accelerates growth. If he is powerful enough to protect himself when the space is exposed, perhaps it will not be difficult to subvert the country.
After all, the country is people-oriented, and the people are food-oriented.
But...... Mr. Jiang lay down on the green grass, looked at the large clouds in the sky and sneered. If you want power, what did he not have before, and can he still be a rare emperor in this broken place? He doesn't want anything else in his life, he will be satisfied with his mother's pension and raising his dog to adulthood.
Now that he has such a golden finger, it can be regarded as providing him with a shortcut to achieve his goal, but the risk is not small. Mr. Jiang turned over and sat up and sighed, he didn't want to be burned to death as a monster.
The sun was shining warmly, Jiang Qiao patted the grass clippings on his clothes, and remembered that he still had a long river that meandered for thousands of miles.
It's not bad to get some aquatic products, agriculture is underdeveloped in this world, and the fishery is good, and there are many varieties that he has never seen in modern times. However, these were only from Jiang Mu's memory, and he had never seen the wood himself, let alone eaten it. With a low-class background like him, I am afraid that he can only catch some small fish and shrimp in the river where he fished that girl for the rest of his life.
As soon as he sighed that Jiang Mu was pitiful and had never seen the world, Mr. Jiang was immediately slapped in the face.
Who's going to explain it, the silver beads on the banks of the river are pearls, right?! It's the size of a pigeon's egg, so it's really fine!
There were too many frightened times on this day, Mr. Jiang grabbed a handful of pearls with an indifferent face, and threw them into the river to play in the water.
He suddenly understood the mentality of those who hated the rich...... Damn, I can't eat any rice, why don't you take a pearl the size of a pigeon's egg!
Jiang Qiao was looking up to the sky and raising his middle finger, and was suddenly awakened by a burst of heat. He touched it in a daze, good fellow, the dog's broken child is wetting the bed again. After working hard and complaining, he moved the dog who was still sleeping to a dry place, Jiang Qiao changed into dry pants, put on his clothes and walked out.
His mother was already cooking on the fire, and when she saw him, she pursed her lips and smiled, which made Jiang Qiao's heart flutter.
"Mother......" Jiang Qiao shouted tremblingly.
"Second son, come here." Mrs. Jiang was still holding a burning stick in her hand, and when she beckoned to Jiang Qiao, she almost scared him to pee.
You can't already know, right......
Jiang Qiao's heart was weak, but his mother was excited, and ran into the corner as soon as she pulled Jiang Qiao, and looked around before she spoke, as if someone was eavesdropping.
"Son, my mother told you that this girl is the marriage that the Heavenly Mother has set for you!" His mother didn't argue with Jiang Qiao, and brainwashed him like a cannon: "Wealth, glory, and blessing!" Harmonious marriage of noble children! Second son, this girl was rescued by you, this is cause and effect, you two are destined husband and wife! ”
"Mother......
Jiang Qiao wanted to say, mother, don't think too much, this girl's origin is unknown, maybe she is a fugitive slave from a big family, and it is also very likely that she is an escaping oiran in the Chu Pavilion of Qinlou or something, and besides, this girl may not be able to find a short-term vision? Don't thank you when you can't hear it, and you still complain.
But looking at his mother's wet red eyes, he couldn't say a word.
- His mother always felt that she and the dog were dragging him down.
When she was sick, Jiang Mu earned medical expenses by doing short-term jobs for wealthy families in the town, but she was cheated and not said, and she was bullied when she went to seek justice, and finally almost didn't give up her life. Mrs. Jiang was really scared. lived to her old age, her husband and eldest son left one after another, and if she couldn't let go of her stupid son and grandson who was waiting to be fed, she would have followed.
This is his mother, the mother who is wholeheartedly worried about him, what can he say?
"Mother, when this girl wakes up, you can ask her if there is a family affair at home." Jiang Qiao had a smile on his face, and lowered his eyes to hide the true emotions in his heart.
"Mother will definitely ask you properly!" Mrs. Jiang smiled, her face was happy, just like Jiang Qiao would be able to become a biological baby with that girl soon.
Jiang Qiao has no way to deal with such a mother.
I just hope that the girl will not cause trouble to their family.
