Chapter 19: Uncle
Jiang Anrao hopes that the things he grows can be exchanged for money, but he can't count on all of them.
They make money as an imminent need. It's not impossible to buy and sell in a small way, but this way of making money focuses on a trickle.
However, the crisis in the Song Kingdom is like a bomb, and in the eyes of their family, it could really explode at any time.
So they have to think of ways to make quick money at this time.
The audience in the live broadcast room also knew the current situation of their family and helped to think of ideas, but due to the limitations of the times, most of the ideas were not used in this year.
The live broadcast in the morning of this day was spent without waves, because there was a shot of my father on the street, and the audience was not too bored to watch.
Jiang Anrao and his grandfather successfully divided all kinds of seeds, and divided them into categories, leaving some of them to be planted, and the others were collected again.
After they had processed the seeds that needed to be soaked in water or sunburned before sowing, Daddy Jiang and the others came back.
It's lunch time again, and the family likes to discuss things while eating, which is family time, so Jiang Anrao closed the live broadcast room.
When Mu came to deliver the meal, he informed Jiang's father, saying that the eldest young master might come to the ranch to inspect in the afternoon.
Although Jiang's father is not favored in the family, the family lives in the ranch, and even if he doesn't care about things on weekdays, he is also the owner and the person in charge of the ranch.
And if the eldest brother of the Jiang family, who is the head of the family's caravan, comes in person, their family still has to do a good job of welcoming them.
Jiang Anrao is also very curious about the characters who can lead a caravan to and from various countries in this troubled world. The family had lunch and waited for the uncle.
They did not have to wait long, but they were about to have lunch at noon, and at the end of the afternoon, a group of men came out of the pasture on horseback.
Mu hurriedly informed Jiang Anrao's family, and then ran to the gate of the ranch to greet him.
By the time Jiang Anrao's family also walked near the gate of the ranch, the legendary uncle had already led the horse into the ranch.
Uncle walked all the way, and on both sides of the road were slaves kneeling down and saluting.
"Uncle" has thick eyebrows and a high nose, thinking that it is because he has been busy all year round, and his skin looks slightly dark; Wearing a black leather crown and a dark blue silk robe, he walked with his head held high, his wide sleeves looked very imposing, and he had a confident look all over his body.
He saw Jiang Anrao's family from a distance, his eyes swept over the family, and finally looked at Jiang's father.
"Brother Yang, I haven't seen you for a long time, but are you okay?"
Fortunately, Dad Jiang has a memory, and he saluted according to the etiquette.
"Big brother is well! The younger brother is doing business as usual. ”
Jiang's mother took Jiang Anrao and Jiang Chiyu to give a salute, which was a simple greeting.
The uncle bowed his head to Jiang's mother and said hello, and then walked to the ranch first.
Jiang Anrao, brother and sister, both noticed the person following behind the uncle.
The uncle brought twelve men with him, all of them were energetic men in the prime of life, they were armed with long swords at their waists, and they were all neat and tidy, obviously trained guards.
Jiang Anrao walked with her brother at the end, and asked her brother in a whim: "Brother, how many of these people can you fight?" ”
Her brother was very unambiguous, and said in a loud voice that these people were not his opponents together.
Jiang Anrao felt that her brother's stinky fart was funny, and she couldn't help but giggle, but she actually trusted her brother's words very much.
These guards look bluffing, but in her eyes, they are not masters.
Fights are not just for seeming. She felt that except for the big men who took the lead, others might not even be able to beat her.
The brother and sister are actually just a few boring chatters, who would think, after they finished speaking, the big man who followed the uncle first turned back.
He stared at the siblings, clearly dissatisfied and dissatisfied.
He didn't speak, but he scared the brother and sister with his eyes.
If it is an ordinary child, staring at him with that eye, it is estimated that he will soon be unable to stand it, and he will even be scared to cry.
But the brother and sister were not afraid, so as an adult, the two children began to compete with each other. In the end, Dahan thought that he had to follow, so he had to look away first.
Jiang Anrao's brother and sister didn't take this episode seriously and continued to follow everyone.
The uncle took the people and inspected the cowshed, the horse shed, the donkey shed, the sheepfold, etc., and only after he was satisfied with everything in the pasture did he take everyone into the house.
During the inspection, Mu also reported that Jiang Anrao saved a calf yesterday.
When the uncle heard this, he was a little surprised, he looked at Jiang Anrao,
"Rao? Very good, well done! ”
Although it is a word of praise, it has a slight taste of superiority, maybe it is the praise of the elders of this era for the younger generation, but Jiang Narao doesn't like it.
Jiang Anrao: Thank you for the compliment.
I thought so in my heart, but in fact, I still had to reply politely.
The uncle also saw Jiang Anrao's enclosed test field, he knew this place, but he wondered why Mu hadn't removed the fence yet.
According to the pastor, it was Jiang's father who planted things over there with his family.
The uncle looked at his younger brother a little strangely, and then looked at Jiang Anrao and a few others, and did not say anything immediately, nor did he say that he wanted to leave, but took everyone to the ranch, the house where Jiang Anrao lived and they lived.
After everyone entered the house and sat down, the uncle looked at Jiang's father:
"Brother Yang has gone into the city again in the past two days?"
"Yes," replied Jiang's father, "I ran out of salt, so I went into the city to buy some." ”
When the uncle heard this, he thought about it, and didn't say anything immediately, but waved everyone down.
When he arrived in the house, only he and the strong man, Mu and Jiang Anrao's family were left, and then he looked at Jiang's father and sighed, and said:
"Did you run out of salt, or did you go out to gamble again?"
Dad Jiang: "......"
Jiang Anrao almost burst out laughing.
Dad carried the pot of the original owner, and he couldn't say anything, which was really pitiful.
Dad Jiang didn't want to continue to take the blame, so he told the truth: the day before yesterday, he went to the arena and won ten taels of gold, and he hasn't gambled since.
I really just went to buy some salt today. Nothing else!
When the uncle heard that he had won ten taels of gold in the competition, he didn't feel relieved, but his eyebrows tightened, and he even said with some annoyance:
"You even dare to compete in stunts?! That's a deadly thing! ”
"Brother, don't misunderstand, it's not me who is going to compete in martial arts.
There was a man whose master was seriously ill and in urgent need of money, and he wanted to enter the market to make money but was not allowed to enter, so he discussed with me and borrowed my identity to enter the venue.
Afterwards, he won ten taels of gold, and I divided half of his five taels of gold according to the agreement.
I meant not to gamble anymore. ”
"Really?" Uncle asked in disbelief.
Dad Jiang nodded hurriedly, and then by the way, they went shopping and accidentally ran into the chase, and they also helped his master.
Uncle looked at Jiang's father for a long time, and finally believed it, and breathed a long sigh of relief:
"Brother Yang, now that I can hear you say this, I am very happy for my brother."
