Chapter 127.2
Jiang Zhen was so busy communicating with Zheng Yi and the craftsman that he inevitably ignored Zhao Mingzhu. Zhao Mingzhu immediately grunted discontentedly, making Jiang Zhen stop what he was doing to coax his daughter.
Zheng Yi had long been accustomed to all this, but the craftsman couldn’t react for some time after seeing this.
He has never seen a man who loves his child so much!
While Zheng Yi and Jiang Zhen ware at home drawing drawings with their children, the country magistrate of Fucheng kept wandering around his own house.
After tasting the jar of wine sent by Zheng Yi yesterday the wonderful taste of the wine totally conquered him.
There was originally just a little bit of wine in jar so he originally wanted to keep it and drink it slowly, but he couldn’t help himself.
He locked up the wine but thought of just taking one sip so he finally unlocked the lock and took a sip.
Then he took another sip and after a while he took another sip. . . the palm-sized wine jar becomes empty just a moment later.
If this was someone of kind treasure he wouldn’t look back after drinking it and wouldn’t think too much about it, but he couldn’t help himself now. . . he knew that Zheng family has more!
Although the second master Zheng was official in capital, but he was still a magistrate and Zheng family had to respect him so as long as he ask wouldn’t Zheng Yi give him more?
But if he had a close relationship with Zheng Yi. . .. But the imperial envoy Zhou was still here!
The magistrate of He Cheng County was not the only one entangled in this way.
The other few people who had been deliberately given wine by Zheng Yi also acted in the same way as the magistrate. They couldn’t let go of this wine so they let their people inquire where Zheng family wine was sold.
However, the Zheng family wine was not sold anywhere.
Finally, someone could not hold back and found Zheng Yi, wanting to buy some.
“The Zheng family has only brewed a batch of this wine. I just kept some and sent the rest to the capital as gift to the Empress Dowager . . .. . .“ Zheng Yi look at those in front of him with a complicated expression: “If I want to brew the second bath I guess it will take a few months, gentlemen . . .. . . still want to wait?“
The expressions of the people who came to ask for wine immediately froze.
The wine has been sent to the Empress Dowager. They can’t have any opinions about it and could only have nothing to drink.
But. . .. After being unable to drink it they thought about it even more!
After leaving from Zheng Yi, these people immediately inquired everywhere, after inquiring they learned that Zheng Yi had actually gifted 20 jars of this wine and vast majority of it was given to Hu family who in turn sent a few jars to others.
After learning about this, someone immediately went to the Hu family.
In this world, not everyone liked drinking a good wine, there was no no one in Zheng Yi or Hu family so usually even when they drank wine it was just for fun. At first no one took the wine send by Zheng Yi seriously, either because they thought that the wine was too strong or they just didn’t like it.
But as a result just after a few days, surprisingly some people come to buy wine . . .. . .
This unremarkable, strong wine was so valuable?
The Hu family was startled and then decisively felt something.
The people who came to buy the wine were quite important so they naturally sold them some. Then they quickly sent for the rest of the wine and people who were originally not good with wine.
When someone came to buy wine again, they informed those people that the wine they had was already sold.
Now, these people could only go to the people who have received wine from Hu family to buy wine.
In this way, the number of people who knew that someone was looking for a good wine everywhere naturally increased, and the fame of the Zheng family’s Qingfeng wine spread rapidly in the upper circles of the Fucheng.
In fact, not everyone loves to drink, but rich people drink sometimes not for a drink but for fame.
The Zheng family’s Qingfeng wine suddenly became famous and was highly respected so everyone was naturally curious. But they couldn’t drink it now. . . how could not scratching an itch not feel uncomfortable?
At this time the Zheng family that bought a piece of land in the capital city, began to build the Qingfeng House. At the same time, Zhao Jinge also bought a piece of land ready to build a brick kiln.
Zhao Jinge found some people from Hexi Village who had already learned how to burn bricks so it didn’t took him long to build the brick kiln, and as soon as the brick kiln was built, big business came to the door – Zheng Yi needed a lot of green bricks to build Qingfeng building!
However even if the brick kiln was built quickly, raising chickens and ducks was not something that could be done quickly.
First of all, there was not enough manpower, and secondly, there weren’t enough chicks and ducks – it was winter so in the absence of artificial hatching, chickens and ducks were not hatching and even chickens lay less eggs.
Zhao Jinge was busy but he still helped Jiang Zhen handle some things of the Jinzhen escort agency and in the end made a small reputation in Fucheng.
As for Jiang Zhen.., he took care of Zhao Mingzhu every day, and with time Zhao Mingzhu’s closest person has become him.
After such a busy period it was time for the New Year.
Last year, Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge stayed in Fucheng for a few days and didn’t go back until the New Year. They didn’t know if it was a coincidence that when they went back, they caught up with the villagers of Hexi village catching and sharing fish.
Last year, Zhao Jinge got me fish, but this year, after catching the fishes Jiang Ping asked Zhao Fugui to pick first and take some more.
The Zhao family built a dock in Hexi Village, which benefited every household in the village. This year basically all people of Hexi village worked for the Zhao family and made some money. Letting all of them have a good new Year.
Under such circumstances, they naturally didn’t mind the Zhao family getting more fish to eat.
“There are only a few people in my family, so how can we eat so many fishes? Just a few will do.“ Zhao Fugui declined, and finally picked a little bit of each kind of fish.
“We caught a lot of fish this year. There are many people working on your dock so get some more.“ Jiang Ping said again. In order to show how grateful they were to Zhao family, they deliberately caught more fish.
“Then how about this, send the extra fish to the canteen and get someone to prepare them so that children studying at school and people working at the docks can each have a bowl of fish soup.“ Zhao Fugui finally made the decision.
When Jiang Zhen came back, he saw that all the people on the dock were drinking fish soup.
Winter fishes tasted the best. It didn’t have a muddy smell so you didn’t have to put any seasoning and you could directly steam it and it would be delicious. Not to mention the canteen people prepared the fish soup very deliciously.
The fish soup was made from large fish. The back of bone-rich fish was sliced ??into thin slices. Fish belly, fish bones and fish head were fried with little oil for a while before adding to the soup. After boiling it for a while, then they added some tofu before adding some fish slices inside. . .
A bowl of fish soup was soon served out.
Children can easily be choked by bones when they eat fish so the fish soup given to them had only meat of the belly of the fish. In the winter it was a happy thing to have a warm fish soup to drink.
The education of girl and gers from village was handed by Jiang Zhen to Liu Qianqian and others who worked in Qingfeng building. Today it was Liu Qianqian turn to work as teacher so when she come to receive fish soup she received a big bowl of it.
Liu Qianqian was happily drinking the fish soup when she suddenly heard someone shouting Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge had returned.
The students in the school couldn’t care less about their classes and ran to the dock, not to mention the people of the Jinzhen escort agency that all forget what they were originally doing.
This was no the first time that Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge have seen such a scene, but it has never been so lively before so they were stunned for a while.
Immediately, their mood improved.
