Chapter 159: Arrival
Unlike Ji Luo's hometown of Jie County, Zhuo County is obviously more prosperous. When Ji Luo and the caravan entered the county, it was already early March, and at this time, the peach blossoms were just blooming...
After saying goodbye to Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, Ji Luo and Su Qiyan drove their ox carts and wandered to find the dental shop.
While on the road, Zhang Shiping wanted to help Ji Luo change the ox cart into a horse carriage, but Ji Luo refused. He received a lot of benefits, but it was too much and there was no need to owe a favor.
Now Ji Luo is very happy about his choice. After all, although the ox cart is slow, it swings very steadily. He has not been able to overtake the horse. If something goes wrong, even if it is not the end of the game.
The ancient tooth shop is the modern intermediary. Ji Luo is not short of money, so he will not wrong himself. He and Su Qiyan looked at it all afternoon, but did not find a particularly satisfactory house. They stayed in an inn at night and had a peaceful night.
The next morning, Ji Luo and Su Qiyan followed the people from Yaxing to look at several more houses, and finally found a house that they were relatively satisfied with.
I have to say that houses in ancient times were really cheap. Ji Luo originally wanted to pay for it, but he hesitated when he thought he might have to leave soon.
But looking at Su Qiyan's happy look, Ji Luo, who was not short of money, finally bought it - I had an apartment in ancient times, and it would be nice to talk about it.
Su Qiyan wanted to clean up the house by herself, but the lazy Ji Luo didn't think so. He directly gave Ya Xing some more money to clean up the house.
To be honest, Ji Luo wasn't afraid that he wouldn't be able to do his job well and that he would be dissatisfied, so he would beat him until he was satisfied.
Alas~ Since arriving in ancient times, Ji Luo has become more and more careless, and sometimes even wants everyone to relax.
Someone was tidying up the new home, so Ji Luo and Su Qiyan went out to buy things. There were quite a lot of things to buy for a new home. The two of them went around and bought things. The wealthy Ji Luo was very willing to spend money and directly hired an ox cart.
Follow behind.
Su Qiyan wanted to say that Ji Luo was prodigal and wanted to drive his own oxcart, but Ji Luo wouldn't. This world is just a fantasy world. If he doesn't spend his money, if he goes back, he may not make all his money in vain.
In the end, Su Qiyan couldn't resist Ji Luo and reluctantly agreed to Ji Luo's wasteful behavior. After lunch, the two started shopping. Since the furniture needed to be custom-made, it was impossible to get it immediately.
But Ji Luo was waiting for someone to live in, so he simply bought second-hand things. However, ancient craftsmen were really solid, and all kinds of utensils were very sturdy.
In order to fill up his home, Ji Luo spent another whole day shopping with Su Qiyan. The house had not been tidied up yet, so he could only continue to stay in the inn. Su Qiyan was very happy, and could even be said to be a little impatient.
She lay in Ji Luo's arms, thinking about the lack of utensils at home, and that she and Ji Luo would go to the market tomorrow. As they talked, the two of them gradually became confused and fell asleep slowly.
The next morning, the two of them got up very early. Because they were bored, they went to the market early. At this time, the market just opened——
"The house is ready to be lived in today. It's the first time we've started moving. I'll cook you a big meal!"
Ji Luo had been eating ancient food for a while, but he still felt dissatisfied. Today was the right time, so he thought of making some braised pork, braised pork ribs, etc. to reward himself and Su Qiyan.
"Ji Luo, how can you cook and then say it in public..."
"Oh, it's okay, let's go! Go buy some pork!"
Ji Luo and Su Qiyan walked into the market leisurely. Ji Luo was actually looking forward to meeting Zhang Fei, but there should be more than one pig seller in Zhuo County, so he might not meet Zhang Fei.
This is not a big problem. After all, they will live in Zhuoxian for a while. The days are still long, so they will definitely see each other.
After asking the vendors, Ji Luo found out the nearest meat stall. However, when he and Su Qiyan walked to the stall, they found that there was no one there.
"Butcher! Where is the butcher?"
"Hey! It's coming, it's coming! Cough! It's coming!"
A young boy ran over quickly. He looked at Ji Luo and Su Qiyan and was stunned for a moment, and then his expression turned into flattery.
"Master, I'm really sorry. I'm afraid you won't be able to buy this meat today."
"Can't buy it? Ha~ This is interesting."
Ji Luo didn't expect that when he bought a piece of pork, someone would tell him that he couldn't buy it. Su Qiyan was right next to him. Not eating meat was a trivial matter. If he lost face, it would affect the next generation!
"I'm really sorry. I don't have the meat anymore. How can I get the meat if my boss doesn't come?"
"Not here? Where is that?"
"You come."
The boy took Ji Luo a few steps back and walked to a well. There was a large millstone covering the well.
"Uncle, the meat is in the well, but I can't take it out. Only the master can take it out."
"If you remove the millstone, won't you take it out?"
Ji Luo thought it was a lock, and after working on it for a long time, he found a millstone. If your millstone has a password, you still can't get it out.
"Eh! Move it away? Cough! You moved the millstone?"
The young man looked a little proud, as if it was his honor to have such a master, and his tone became complacent.
"Juye, I also tell you that our boss has already said that whoever can move this millstone can take the meat from the well. Haha! Move it? Move it? Haha! Move it away, and the meat will all be yours."
The young man seemed to be trying to express something deliberately, and his voice was quite loud, and everyone around him immediately gathered around.
Ancient people were free and lacked entertainment. Whenever they saw something new, they liked to watch. The crowd of onlookers would attract more people, and eventually more people would come to take a look.
"All mine? Interesting, I seem to have seen this scene before..."
Ji Luo now has a strange feeling. Although he does not belong here, at this moment, he seems to have become a part of history and is becoming a part of the legend.
"Uncle, if you can't move this millstone, you won't have to practice talking here. You can just wait for our master."
"Get up and I'll move away for you."
Ji Luo waved her hand and told the boy to get away. Su Qiyan knew Ji Luo's ability, but she didn't want Ji Luo to be in the limelight. She looked at Ji Luo with watery eyes. Ji Luo blinked and walked to the well.
"Can this young man do it? He doesn't look very strong. Does he have the strength?"
"I don't think it's possible. This millstone weighs at least seven to eight hundred kilograms. How can this young man pick it up?"
"Oh, it's not just for the limelight. If I slip up like this, I'm afraid I won't just have to lie in bed for a while, but it will also be difficult for the rest of my life."
People around him obviously don't think highly of Ji Luo. Of course, this is also a fact. Ji Luo is only eighteen years old. He looks about 1.78 meters tall. Not only is he not strong, but he is somewhat elegant. Such a person cannot be seen in any way.
Might be able to hold a millstone.
