Chapter 5: A Temporary Home

Mei'er didn't screw Jiang Xingchen in the end, and in the evening, the two entered the courtyard of fifty copper coins a day.

The yard is not big, only more than ten square meters, but in addition to the main house, there is a small kitchen on the right, there is also a separate well on the courtyard wall on the right, and there is a large jar for water in the corner. On the courtyard wall on the left, there is a large pile of dry firewood.

Nodding with satisfaction, Jiang Xingchen walked to the main room. Mei'er puffed out her bun face and followed behind him.

Originally, Mei'er wanted to give a day's money first, and then slowly persuade Jiang Xingchen. But who knew that Jiang Xingchen didn't say a word, and directly gave three citrine coins to the family, which were booked for six days.

"Three citrine coins!" Mei'er shouted silently in her heart, feeling pain when she thought about it.

"Squeak!" the door opened, and the two of them walked into the room, the room was very spacious, the table, chair, wardrobe, kettle, and water glasses were all complete, and on the cabinet cabinet, there was an hourglass for timekeeping, and on the wall, there was a black oil lamp. Near the wall inside is a two-meter-wide large bed with two blue cloth quilts at the head of the bed.

"Hourglasses were used for timekeeping, oil lamps were used for lighting, and most of the civilians ate black bread and wore coarse linen clothes...... This society is still very backward...... Thinking about it, the Qiankun Empire has only been established for more than 200 years, and most of the people are still martial, while others are of course developing slowly! It is estimated that the people in power are also aware of this situation, so they stipulate that those who have contributed to the empire and the great lords can also become nobles, which is obviously to encourage other industries and promote prosperity!"

At this moment, he had a deeper understanding of the current environment.

"It's not bad!" After looking around, Jiang Xingchen smiled, and rubbed his hand on Mei'er's head: "Little girl, don't always keep a straight face, isn't this room good, look at this big bed, and the quilt...... For the time being, this is our home!"

"Fifty copper coins a day, can it be bad!" Mei'er knocked off Jiang Xingchen's hand with an expressionless face, and said, "I spent three citrine coins at once, what should I do in the future?"

"Hehe, didn't you say it, I'll figure it out! Don't worry, if I can't starve you, I promise to raise you fat and fat!" Jiang Xingchen's hand was placed on the top of the little girl's head again and rubbed it twice.

"Let's go, go and see the kitchen! If we can cook by ourselves, we won't eat bread again!" Jiang Xingchen pulled Mei'er out.

"What do you eat if you don't eat bread?" Mei'er was stunned for a moment, and then said loudly: "Do you want to spend all the money, do you know how expensive vegetables and meat are, I don't eat often when my uncle doesn't leave......"

"I said that I will buy you ten catties of meat to eat every day in the future!" Jiang Xingchen said lightly and stepped into the kitchen.

Mei'er's voice stopped abruptly, her neat teeth biting her lower lip, lowering her head slightly, and a smile on the corner of her mouth.

In the kitchen, there is a stove, a rusty iron pot lies on it, next to the stove, a large wooden basin with a diameter of one meter stands vertically next to the wall, and in the innermost part of the kitchen, there is a small pile of charcoal.

"It seems that you can take a hot shower at night! These fifty copper coins are really worth it a day! The house price is much cheaper than my own shijie...... Jiang Xingchen laughed.

After a day of observing and listening, he learned a lot of news. For example, this shijie is also twelve months in a year, but a month is thirty-six days, and when there are twenty-eight months in a day, it is estimated to be about one hour. It is now the third day of November in the year 233 of the Qiankun calendar. Moreover, in this shijie, it is obvious that food and clothing are much more expensive than housing! The reason for this is naturally the backwardness of productivity......

"Little girl, it's not early, let's go buy five more white flour cakes, it's too late to buy things and make them yourself!" After seeing the environment of the kitchen, Jiang Xingchen turned around and said.

"I still eat white flour cakes!" Mei'er snorted angrily, rolled her eyes, and stretched out her little hand: "Take the money, I'll buy it!"

"Don't you still have ten copper coins in your hand?" Jiang Xingchen said in some surprise.

"You!" The little girl was blocked by a sentence, snorting and panting, and waited for Jiang Xingchen with wide eyes.

"What do you see, I still have three citrine coins useful, let's rely on them in the future!" said that, he tapped lightly on the little girl's head, urging: "Go quickly!"

Seeing Jiang Xingchen's resolute tone, Mei'er puffed out her mouth vigorously, and finally compromised. However, when he turned around, he still muttered dissatisfiedly: "You will lose, and when it is all spent, I will see what you will do!"

Seeing Mei'er out of the kitchen, Jiang Xingchen shook his head with a smile and followed him to the courtyard......

About a month later, Mei'er returned to the courtyard, and as soon as she walked to the kitchen door, she heard the sound of gnashing her teeth from inside: "The fire is made with flint, and the stove doesn't even have a push-pull bellows...... You can't boil a pot of water for three hours!"

"What's wrong with this, brother, it's all strange words, won't you be sick again!" Mei'er looked into the kitchen, only to see Jiang Xingchen with a black face, breaking off the thin dry wood one by one and throwing it into the stove.

Running into the kitchen, Mei'er grabbed the soft flesh of Jiang Xingchen's waist with two fingers and twisted it hard.

"Huh~" A long howl similar to a dolphin sound, Jiang Xingchen jumped up more than a meter high, and his facial muscles were out of shape.

"Little girl, what are you doing?" Jiang Xingchen asked almost with a roar.

"Ahh......h

"Jiang Mei'er! This is the second time......

"Ahh

"Uh!" Jiang Xingchen was slightly stunned and muttered, "Is this little girl's speed so fast!"

Exhaling turbid air, Jiang Xingchen squatted in front of the stove again.

The main reason why he was like this was because he had just tried to cultivate martial arts.

Originally, he thought that he could not only listen and speak the language of this shijie, but also know the words, so he must have no problem writing. This means that the most familiar things of this body have been retained. The martial arts that have been cultivated for so many years should be right for me.

His judgment was not bad at all, and those cultivation movements were familiar with the instinct of the body...... But the result turned out to be the opposite of what he had hoped earlier.

As soon as he exerted his strength, he clearly felt that the complex lines of the Taichu Formation suddenly collapsed, as if it was about to explode his head.

It took him a while to recover, and he finally understood that the fog in his mind not only failed to increase his strength, but also conflicted with cultivation.

But even so, he was not discouraged. After all, this is an orderly society, and individual force is not everything. Although he also has a dream of being a hero, he is not too enthusiastic. Just like my own shijie, there are more people who want to become masters after watching martial arts movies, and there are a few more people who go to practice martial arts.

But then, he was not calm. He took a look with his breathing, but found that the Taichu Formation, which carried his hope of activating the Yuan Spring and living an aristocratic life, had actually shrunk back to its original size. In other words, the energy of the previous two white flour cakes was all in vain!

was already depressed, and brushing the rusty iron pot made him even more irritable, and without grease to wipe the pot, he used a large bucket of water to brush for half an hour.

Next, make a fire with flint and knock all the hands on the wood before igniting the velvet. Then seeing that the fire was not strong, and there was no bellows under the stove, he was so funny that he blew with his mouth for a long time, and his cheeks were unconscious before he woke up.

So when Mei'er came back, she saw him venting with firewood......

Squatting there and throwing two sticks of firewood stupidly, Jiang Xingchen jumped up suddenly: "Why am I squatting here again, dinner is still at the little girl!"

Thinking of blowing fire with his mouth just now, Jiang Xingchen felt as if a black crow shouting "second goods" was flying overhead, with an ellipsis behind him.

Three steps and two steps, Jiang Xingchen ran to the bedroom door, and was about to slap hard, but the door squeaked open, and the little girl smiled like a flower.

"Brother, let's have dinner!" The little hand held three white flour cakes and sent them to Jiang Xingchen.

"Something is wrong, she should avoid me, and she shouldn't even open the door for me......" Jiang Xingchen was a little puzzled for a while: "Could it be that this girl has any bad ideas!"

"Brother, don't be angry, I really didn't mean to do it just now, I thought you were sick again......" The little girl said as she put the dough in his hand and pulled him into the room, then lowered her head a little shyly and said, "If you're still angry, Mei'er will let you spank you......"

Jiang Xingchen was stunned for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what was going on, but he didn't know what to say.

"Brother just called me Jiang ~ Mei'er?" Seeing that Jiang Xingchen was stunned again, the little girl puffed out her mouth and asked, her eyes flickering a little and she was a little nervous.

"What's the matter, is there any problem, you are my sister, can't I call you by your name?" Jiang Xingchen asked.

"Okay, okay!" Mei'er nodded her little head vigorously, her eyes narrowed into two caterpillars, and she laughed out loud.

"Brother, you eat first, I'll go boil water!" After speaking, the little girl ran out in a hurry.

"Inexplicable!" Jiang Xingchen shook his head, he wanted to drop half a white flour cake in one bite, and after eating, he used the breathing method to check the Taichu Formation.

Finding that the Taichu Array began to spread again, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the depression in his heart slowly dissipated. Before, he was really afraid that the formation would be destroyed and he would not be able to stimulate Yuanquan, so the identity of the nobleman would not be thought about in a short time......

Jiang Xingchen finished eating the bread, the sky was already dark, and after a while, Mei'er boiled the water.

Although there is no shower gel, no soap, no shampoo, the comfort of soaking in hot water still drives away the fatigue of a long day.

At night, the solid house isolated the cold outside, and the two of them each covered themselves with thick quilts, and slept extra sweetly......

Early the next morning, Jiang Xingchen finished washing up and instructed Mei'er: "Brother go to earn money to support the family, you stay at home and play obediently, don't go out!" Then, he gritted his teeth and walked out of the courtyard gate.
