I traveled through time and space to hunt and support my family in ancient times
Chapter 30 Moving to a new home
It was two days later when Jiang Yue went into the mountains again. It was early autumn, and the forest was quietly painted with golden color. The animals in the forest seemed to have become spiritual, and there was no prey along the way.
When they arrived at the cave, Jiang Yue only killed a squirrel. When they pushed aside the cover of the cave, Jiang Yue went in, but there was no one in the cave.
"Really gone?"
These days, Jiang Yue went up the mountain from time to time and took care of him. That day, she found that he was almost well, so she wanted to send him away, and he really left.
He left so decisively, leaving the empty cave without even a trace of air. Jiang Yue thought, the world is so big, I'm afraid we won't see each other again.
Therefore, she never asked his name, nor did she tell him her own name. The only thing that made Jiang Yue a little depressed was that the golden bead might be lost.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue packed up the bamboo kettle that was left behind, but unexpectedly, as soon as she picked up the kettle, she was stunned.
I saw a jade pendant under the kettle.
It was the waist pendant that she had taken off at the beginning.
Jiang Yue gave him a set of clothes to change into a few days ago, so it was very likely that he forgot to take the jade pendant with him.
Didn't he claim to keep it for his wife? Why are you so careless? Jiang Yue picked up the jade pendant, feeling cool in the hand, and carefully examined the word "Ya" on it.
Then she hid the jade pendant back into her waist with peace of mind. It was dropped by him, and it would be a waste if she didn't pick it up.
Although the gold beads are gone, this jade pendant is still worth a lot of money.
She had killed most of the wild animals nearby and the cave was now empty. Jiang Yue decided to stay in the cave tonight so that she could go deeper into the cave.
Following the stream upward, Jiang Yue found a stone pool. The pool was surrounded by lush bamboos and the water was clear. Fish could be seen swimming. However, the fish were not big, so Jiang Yue continued to move forward.
In this season, bamboos are lush and there are no bamboo shoots to dig. The bamboo forest is secluded and full of poisonous snakes. Jiang Yue carefully probed the ground and walked through the bamboo forest until she found the trace of a wild deer. She drew her bow and shot an arrow, and in a few breaths, Jiang Yue had lassoed it with a rope.
On her way back, she deliberately went around the bamboo forest, and it was dark when she got back to the cave. Jiang Yue went into the cave to rest. Her family was completely relieved that she had gone into the mountains, and they would not worry even if she did not go back tonight.
Soon they were about to move to a new home, and Jiang Yue wanted to hunt a big wild boar for a family feast. A squirrel didn't have much meat, so she skinned it, removed the internal organs, and roasted it over the fire until it was golden. On the third day, Jiang Yue finally hunted a half-grown wild boar and returned home.
When autumn came, the house was finally built after a month of construction.
The house faces south and has five large tiled houses in a row. The main room is in the middle. Jiang Youshan and his wife live in one room, and Jiang Ming and Jiang Lei live in another. Jiang Xue wanted to live in the same room with Jiang Yue, but Jiang Yue disagreed. So the two sisters lived in one of the remaining two main rooms.
In addition, there are two side rooms on the east and west sides.
The two rooms on the west side are connected, one is the kitchen and the other is the dining area. A new large water tank was bought for the kitchen. The old broken water tank was moved to the pig pen. The family uses a lot of water, so a full tank can be used for three days. The kitchen has two stoves, so cooking can be done at the same time, which is much more convenient.
Further south of the wing room is a large open space, with a toilet at the southernmost end. Unlike the squat toilet in the old house of the Jiang family, the toilet designed by Jiang Yue is outside. It is covered with stone slabs and the floor of the toilet is paved with stones. Inside is a four-square-meter bathing room, and the bath water just flushes the toilet, so the toilet does not smell at all.
One of the east wing rooms is used to store sundries, and the other is left empty and used as a warehouse.
The four little wild boars had grown up and were placed on the west side of the west wing. The wall on this side had been built.
The yard is too big so I only built half of it. I will build the rest slowly after I move in.
All the furniture in Jiang Yue's bedroom was new: a 90-meter-wide bed, a -centimeter-wide wardrobe, two square boxes, and a set of modern-style office desks and chairs.
These are all designed by Jiang Yue. They are simple in appearance but very practical. The cabinet is similar to the modern log style, with partitions inside, a clothes hanging area and a stacking area, and a space at the top for quilts; the table is in the popular style here, with two drawers.
The furniture in the other bedrooms was similar, except that the rooms were not equipped with wooden beds but with earthen kangs, so that they could be heated in winter. During the coldest days of winter, Jiang Yue could sleep with Jiang Xue for a few days.
When a house was built in the village, the workers were all local villagers. After the house was completed, the host invited guests. In accordance with local customs, Jiang Youshan invited all the workers to come, including the head of the village and his family. Cai also invited a few familiar women to cook.
A half-grown wild boar had been killed in advance, and the meat was placed in several basins, making the villagers drool at the sight.
"Finally I get to eat your food."
"What a real person! Look at all the meat!"
"What I envy most are these four capable children. They started with nothing but have managed to live a prosperous life."
"Who says it isn't?"
Jiang Yue squinted her eyes and looked at the big pot in the yard that was bubbling with steam. She had braved the mountains for three days just to have this meal.
The two pots on the stove were not enough, so they temporarily built a large iron pot in the yard. Cai and several other women were busy stewing a large pot of a pig with cabbage and vermicelli.
This is the pig-killing dish that is only eaten during the Chinese New Year. The Jiang family’s pig-killing dish is different from the one they can only eat during the Chinese New Year. There is a big pot full of meat, and cabbage and vermicelli are supporting roles!
Really fragrant!
Large pots of pig-killing dishes were brought to the table. The noisy yard became quiet, with only the slurping sound of eating meat left.
Finally, after eating and drinking, someone started chatting: "Youshan, is your courtyard wall still being built?"
He still wants to eat such a delicious meal.
"I can build the remaining half of the wall by myself..."
"Dad, how can you finish the stacking by yourself?" As there were many people around, Jiang Yue tried to smooth things over.
"My dad is joking. The wall of our house has to be built. My dad is too slow to do it alone. When you are free, you can pick up stones and send them to me. My family will buy them at the price of three cents per cart of stones."
Jiang Youshan: Does he seem a bit embarrassed? Fortunately, his daughter found an excuse for him. But his daughter is too good at spending money. The mountain is full of stones, and it doesn't cost money, so why does his daughter have to buy them? Looking at Jiang Yue's expressionless face, Jiang Youshan rubbed his eyes. Forget it, his children are the boss of his family.
"Okay, there are still a few days before the autumn harvest. I'll go find some stones to sell at your house."
Jiang Yue nodded, "Uncles and aunts, let me make it clear first, this is a small cart like this, and a full cart costs three cents."
Jiang Yue pointed and it was the cart that the carpenter had just made.
"Don't worry, I'm not a playboy. I'll make sure it's full when the time comes."
