Farming in another world to make a fortune

Chapter 5

Aunt Chen and Aunt Chen couldn't help but look away from Yu Zhou after listening.

Jin Chuan stared blankly at Yu Zhou for a long time, seeing that his expression was sincere and his eyes were frank, as if he had no other thoughts, so he nodded and said in a low voice, "Okay...thank you."

Now that the two of them have reached a consensus, Aunt Chen and Aunt Chen couldn't say anything more, so they asked Jin Chuan a few things about his life experience, and they went home together.

Once the two of them left, only Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan were left in the room.

Although Yu Zhou doesn't talk much, he's not a stuffy person either, but when he sees Jin Chuan Duan sitting there, he always inadvertently thinks that when Brother Fang reprimanded him for taking advantage of Jin Chuan, he would be sloppy in words and actions. There is a kind of embarrassment that seems to be there.

So after being relatively silent for a while, Yu Zhou got up and said, "It's getting late, take a break, I'll go make dinner."

"I'll go." Jin Chuan followed suit.

Yu Zhou: "No, I can fix it soon."

"I can do a lot of work," Jinchuan said anxiously, "I won't live and eat for nothing."

Yu Zhou couldn't help laughing, "I know, but let's forget about it today, your illness is just recovering, so don't be tired again."

After he finished speaking, he left the main room, and the slightly raised corners of his lips showed that he was in a good mood.

After the short conversation just now, Yu Zhou found that Jin Chuan was quite interested in him.

He has always felt that no matter what his status is, only by being able to stand on his own can he win the respect of others.

To be honest, he kept Jin Chuan to live here, but deep down he was still afraid of meeting someone who was like a parasite. After all, he himself had eaten today, and he didn't know where tomorrow would be.

Fortunately, he saw the right person, Jin Chuan was... pretty good.

Although there is a little imperfection in gender, otherwise he might have a good brother to fight with!

But he didn't know that Jin Chuan was also lucky to stay in the main room.

Jin Chuan did not expect that Yu Zhou would ask him to stay, and it seemed that he was simply letting him stay, and had no other intentions.

This surprised him, and he was grateful.

He knew very well what an unmarried brother living under the same roof with a man meant to others.

But he would rather not have a good reputation than surrender himself without knowing anything.

He's never been one to follow the rules anyway.

When Yu Zhou returned to the stove, the fire in the stove was almost extinguished, but the pheasant in the pot felt that it was almost ready, so he quickly added two sticks of firewood and continued to burn.

I took the small cooking pot to wash the rice.

He thought he could eat the remaining rice for three days, but now that there are more people, he wondered if he could last two days.

However, he has never been a person who lives by picking. If he does not find another way to make a living, the family only has about two catties of rice, and the two of them can eat, even if they eat less, they will not be able to last for a few days.

So Yu Zhou didn't worry about it. He estimated how much the two of them could eat, and scooped up enough rice to wash.

This time, the rice in the rice tank was directly reduced by about one-fifth.

The firewood cooks rice quickly, but within a few minutes, Yu Zhou reduced the heat in the stove to let the rice simmer on top.

Then he added salt to the chicken soup in the pot next to it, tasted it and felt that it was almost the same, so he filled half of the chicken and soup in a sea bowl, found a rag to put under the sea bowl, and walked towards the main house with it.

When Yu Zhou walked to the door of the house, he saw Jin Chuan was sitting at the table, flipping through the pages of a book.

He was quite surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it, he just coughed lightly, reminding the man that he came over, and waited for Jin Chuan to look up before he said: "Help me see if there is still water in the small pot on the table?"

Jin Chuan quickly put down the book and picked it up, "There is still a little."

"Pour it all into a bowl," Yu Zhou said, "That pot belongs to Aunt Chen's house, I'll send it to her."

"Okay." After pouring out all the water, Jin Chuan lifted the lid and took a look inside the pot, "There are still some herbs in the pot, I'll wash it first and you can return it to her."

Yu Zhou nodded and led him to the kitchen.

After Jinchuan washed the small pot and handed it to him, he walked out with the small pot in one hand and the sea bowl in the other. After walking a few steps, he turned around and said, "Aunt Chen's house is next door, I'll be back soon."

Standing at the door of the kitchen, Jin Chuan couldn't help laughing, "I know."

When Yu Zhou arrived at Chen's house, Uncle Chen and Feng Chen had just returned from the field. Aunt Chen fetched water from the well in the yard to wash their hands. Seeing Yu Zhou coming in, the three of them were a little surprised, especially Chen Feng. Looking at the bowl in Yu Zhou's hand, his eyes were almost as big as copper bells.

Aunt Chen came to her senses first, pushed Chen Feng, motioned him to wash his hands quickly, then looked at Yu Zhou with a smile, "Boy Zhou, why are you here?"

"Didn't I catch a pheasant in the mountains today? When it's cooked, I'll send some over for you to taste," Yu Zhou said, handing the bowl in his hand along with the small pot to Aunt Chen. "And this pot, too. Just sent it to you."

"Then I won't be polite." Aunt Chen took it over happily, thinking that this Zhou boy is indeed a lot more sensible.

Because the head of her family was saved by Yu Zhou's grandma when she was a child, so after the death of Yu Zhou's relatives, the family has taken good care of Yu Zhou in recent years, and the family didn't think there was any problem.

But no matter how legitimate the reason is, the feeling of always giving is completely different from the feeling of being rewarded after giving.

So after Aunt Chen sent the pot and chicken soup to the stove, she immediately went to the main room and told Aunt Chen about it.

After a while, Aunt Chen came out from the main room, and said to Yu Zhou apologetically, "Boy Zhou, I have taken all the bowls in my house, can I return the bowls to you tomorrow?"

"Don't worry." Although the bowls in Yu Zhou's house are old, but there is no shortage of useful ones, "Then I'll go back first."

"Go and sit under the eaves for a while, I have something to ask you." Uncle Chen greeted Yu Zhou just after washing his hands and face.

Uncle Chen gave Yu Zhou the impression of being taciturn. When he was with Aunt Chen, Aunt Chen was always talking. When Aunt Chen made up her mind about what to do, as the head of the family, he would not refute it.

Yu Zhou has met several such introverted but careful people before.

So when I heard Uncle Chen said that I wanted to ask him something, I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

After the two sat down on the stools under the eaves, Uncle Chen said: "The Luofengpo side was bought by a wealthy family and plans to build a separate courtyard. In the past few days, I have found someone to work in a nearby village. The price is [-] Wen a day. Tomorrow it is said It is to dig the foundation, and it should last for three to five days, do you want to go with me and Chen Feng?"

Yu Zhou replied without thinking, "I'll go with you."

He is almost out of rice now, so how can he let go of a way to make money, although digging foundations for people is a physical labor, twenty yuan a day does not sound like much, but it is better than nothing.

Seeing that he should be so decisive, Uncle Chen couldn't help hesitating for a moment, "Think about it clearly, digging the foundation is not an easy task, and Luofengpo is not close, and it requires Chenshi to start work there, and it will take at least half a year to walk there. Can you get up in the morning?"

Yu Zhou calculated the time, Chenshi is seven o'clock, and it takes at least an hour to walk there, that is to say, he will get up before six o'clock.

This time is early for most people, but he insisted on getting up at 05:30 for more than ten years.

So he nodded and confirmed, "I can get up."

Before Uncle Chen could speak, Chen Feng patted Yu Zhou on the shoulder, "Sure, then I'll call you tomorrow morning."

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Yu Zhou nodded in response. The biological clock of another body must be different, and there is nothing to tell the time here. If Chen Feng comes to call him, it can also prevent oversleeping.

Chen Feng: "Hey, what's the trouble, it's next door anyway."

It was getting late, Yu Zhou didn't stay any longer, he said a few words about going to work tomorrow, and Yu Zhou went home.

When he entered the yard, Jin Chuan was sitting on the stool by the door, looking at the direction where the sun was setting, his eyes were vain, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Hearing the sound of the wooden door being opened, Jin Chuan suddenly came to his senses, turned his head to look at Yu Zhou, and said with a smile, "I'm back."

During this moment of stillness, it was as if a puppet had been infused with soul, and Jin Chuan's whole body came alive.

"I'm back," Yu Zhou saw his reaction just now, and thought about the experience that he was just abandoned by his biological father, and thought that maybe it would be better for him to do something, "There is still a dish to fry, you can help me light the fire. "

"Okay." Jin Chuan naturally would not refuse.

The chicken giblets had been washed long ago, and there were no other seasonings at home, so Yu Zhou added a few dried chili peppers and stir-fried them, and they were ready in a few minutes.

Jin Chuan took the stir-fried vegetables and the eating bowl to the main room, and Yu Zhou dismantled the remaining half of the pheasant, kept half of it and put it in the cupboard, and took only half to eat tonight.

A small bowl of chicken offal, a bowl of chicken soup mixed with chicken, enough brown rice for a full meal.

This is the first meal that Yu Zhou cooked by himself after traveling to this world. Although it is not particularly rich, it is already very good.

After sitting down at the table, he greeted Jin Chuan, and he put a chicken giblet in his mouth.

Well, although only salt and chili are added, even the oil is the oil from the chicken belly, the taste is quite good.

Yu Zhou ate another mouthful of brown rice, and found that apart from being hard to swallow, it actually tasted good.

When he was going to fetch food again, he realized that Jin Chuan hadn't moved his chopsticks, so he asked, "Can't you eat spicy food?"

"No," Jin Chuan shook his head and said with downcast eyes, "this chicken..."

Suddenly, Yu Zhou realized something and couldn't help laughing, "This is the pheasant I caught in the mountains today. I'm afraid I can't raise it tomorrow, so I have to kill it."

As he spoke, he scooped up a piece of chicken with a wooden spoon and put it in the Jinchuan bowl, "Eat it quickly, my family doesn't have chickens, and it won't be easy to eat chicken again."

Jin Chuan felt as if his heart had been touched by something, sour and soft, and then smiled, "Okay."

He was worried that the chicken was killed for him, which would make him owe Yu Zhou more and more, but he was afraid that he would not be able to raise anything tomorrow, and he was not a child, so how could he believe such a reason.

But Yu Zhou, who gave such a reason, was different from everyone he had met.
