The dead general was kidnapped by his husband and taken to farm.
Chapter 27 Negotiated, Peach Tree
Jiang Shi'an and the other man did not want to stay any longer and got up to say goodbye, when they mentioned that they planned to buy some peach trees.
Carpenter Yang immediately said, "I have more than ten peach trees in my field. Some are peach seedlings that have just been planted for two years, and some are already bearing fruit. If you need them, I can give you a few."
The two of them were delighted. This was even better, as it saved them the trouble of running around.
Jiang Shian decided to go and have a look before buying. He really liked eating peaches, and it would be best if he could buy a few fruits directly from the trees.
The peach trees were planted in the field. Carpenter Yang asked the two men to wait in the yard for a while. He went back to the kitchen, took the hot medicine pot off the stove, poured half a bowl of medicine juice and took it to the next door house.
As soon as the wooden door opened, the two heard coughing from inside. No wonder they smelled such a strong smell of medicine just now, maybe someone in the family was sick for a long time.
It is said that most carpenters in the village can support themselves by taking on jobs, and those who are diligent and have good skills can save a lot of money. It turned out that this carpenter bought medicinal herbs.
"I'm sorry to have kept you two waiting for so long. My mother is not in good health and has been relying on medicine to take care of herself."
Carpenter Yang put the bowl back in the kitchen, picked up the hoe from the corner of the yard, and walked out with the two men.
They met quite a few villagers on the way. Everyone was quite welcoming to Carpenter Yang. They all greeted him with a smile, and when they saw the two strangers coming to the village, they all looked at them curiously.
"Hey, Carpenter Yang, where are you going? The two people behind you look unfamiliar."
"People from the next village came to me to do carpentry work. They are interested in the peach trees in our village. If I can take them to have a look, if I can sell a few of them, I can have money for my mother's medicine."
Hearing Carpenter Yang talking about his mother, he sighed. Filial piety is a good thing, but he has not married yet at such an old age, all because of his mother's burden. He has not saved any money over the years. If he were in another family, he would have let his mother die.
The two chatted casually for a while and then went about their own business.
Jiang Shian and Ji Yinghuai were a few steps behind. Upon hearing this, they looked at each other with some admiration in their eyes.
"The village is filled with the scent of peach blossoms as we enter it. Do you think I can sell the peach blossom wine I brew?" Jiang Shian leaned close to Ji Yinghuai and asked in a low voice.
Ji Yinghuai looked at him in surprise and replied in a low voice: "You can also make wine?"
Jiang Shian nodded, with a proud look on his face, "Of course, I can also make wine, plum wine, and fruit wine that is not easy to get drunk."
Seeing the smug expression on the boy's face, Ji Yinghuai suddenly wanted to reach out and rub his head. He raised his hand halfway and then retracted it. Their current status was not suitable for such an intimate action.
After thinking about it, he curled his fingers reluctantly, with a hint of loss in his eyes.
Then he thought of something and frowned subconsciously.
Since he lives here, the secret guards will naturally investigate everyone in the village, the most important of whom is the owner of the Jiang family's house.
The letter mentioned that the boy moved to the county town when he was young. It was said that he had been ill since he was young and was somewhat mentally retarded. The reason why he suddenly recovered from his mental retardation was because he was hit on the head by the second son of the Jiang family in the county town. After waking up, he returned to his normal appearance.
He was convinced of this, as a person with amnesia could still become a different person. But the boy's description of things like toothpaste and toothbrush didn't seem like he had seen them for the first time, and every time he talked about food and cooking, he was very skilled. After all, the son of the richest man in the county would never enter the kitchen.
Even if, as Jiang Shian said, he learned from his mother, he was at least a little unfamiliar with the subject. In addition, the other party could easily say that he could brew these fruit wines today.
All of the above made him doubt the boy's identity. Although he doubted, he didn't think he would harm him. Maybe he had a compelling reason, and maybe he would be willing to tell him one day.
After thinking about it, he stopped investigating and focused on chatting with Jiang Shian.
"What a coincidence. I also saw Nv'erhong and Zhuyeqing in the army..." Ji Yinghuai paused and almost let it slip again, "I also saw people brewing them. If Shi An plans to sell the wine, I can help."
Jiang Shian didn't think much about the man's pause just now. Hearing this, he smiled and nodded, "Okay, when the toothpaste and toothbrush are made, the fermented tofu at home can be sold, and after some time, the fruits are ripe and can be picked and made into wine. Then we can make our own wine and see whose wine tastes better. We have to drink a few cups."
While chatting and laughing, the two of them had already reached the fields. From a distance, they saw peach blossoms in full bloom all over the mountains. If this happened in modern times, they would even sell tickets for tourists to enjoy the view.
Not all fields are planted with peach trees. Apart from wheat fields, some vegetable fields will have a few peach trees planted.
Carpenter Yang told them that this was also one of the sources of income for their village, and some passing merchants would come to their village to purchase ripe peaches.
Jiang Shian casually asked about the price. After hearing the number the other party said, he was shocked.
Four copper coins per pound, this is too cheap.
You have to know that in ancient times, fruits were rare and ordinary people could not afford them. Instead of spending money on expensive fruits that were as expensive as candy, it was better to go up the mountain to find some wild fruits.
The two went down to the field and looked at several peach trees. Jiang Shian finally selected three that were bearing fruit. There were two smaller ones, and it would probably take another two years for them to bear peaches.
There were many peach trees in their village, and they could be dug up and replanted. Carpenter Yang had no intention of selling them to the two men, so he immediately said he would give them to them as a reward for taking care of his business.
Jiang Shian waved his hand quickly, took out a copper coin from his pocket and handed it to Ji Yinghuai. He didn't know what the price of the peach tree was.
Ji Yinghuai didn't know any more. He used to be a nobleman. It was not his turn to worry about these things on the battlefield. He had never been involved in them.
While Carpenter Yang and Jiang Shi'an were discussing the play, he counted out two hundred coins and handed them over.
Seeing that Carpenter Yang was about to refuse, Jiang Shian quickly said, "This peach tree has grown so big. I think Carpenter Yang has spent a lot of time taking care of it over the years. How can we accept it for nothing? If you refuse the job again, we won't dare to ask you to do it."
Looking at the two strings of copper coins handed to him, Carpenter Yang accepted them. Looking at the two men's grateful faces, he thanked them repeatedly.
