The Transmigrated Li Jin's Daily Farming Life (Translated With Mtl)

Chapter 62

This ox cart is much more extravagant than Li Zhuzi's. The wheels should have been strengthened. Even if it is traveling on the rough dirt road, it will not be bumpy.

However, despite the fact that the cart has a canopy, the surroundings are tightly covered, however it still cannot match the temperature of January, and the cabin is extremely cold.

The brazier cannot be ignited casually. It is surrounded by straw and wood, and if one is not careful, fire will leak out.

Therefore, most people do not light a brazier for safety reasons.

Of course, the braziers in the carriages and carts of high-ranking officials are all secured with copper frames, which cannot be compared to those in common people's homes.

Li Jin felt that the coldness on his body was still tolerable, but he had been sitting in one place for several hours, and his calves were about to freeze.

There were a few blankets in the carriage, and Chen Xiran stomped his feet and handed Li Jin a blanket.

"Let's take off our shoes and warm up first, otherwise, if we keep sitting like this, we'll get frostbite on our feet when we reach the county seat."

Li Jin thought that was a good idea, so he took off his cloth shoes in response to the kind suggestion.

Now the clothes he was wearing were made by Qin Muwen from top to bottom, including the shoes. The soles were very soft, and he wondered how long it took Qin Muwen to make each one.

The inside of the cart was small, and the two big men couldn't lie down completely, so they could only huddle in the corners wrapped in blankets.

Li Jin asked, "Does the driver of the cart need to rest?"

He didn't speak loudly, and the wind outside was so strong that he couldn't hear him. Therefore, he asked Chen Xiran about it.

After all, the cart driver and the cart belonged to Chen Xiran's family, and Li Jin didn't want to take the lead.

Originally, Li Jin wanted to hire a cart with a canopy with the students who signed up with him. Everyone would share the fare, which would be less than 100.

But Chen Xiran directly stated that his family owned a ox cart. Prior to his father departing to use the cart, everyone was taking a break during the Chinese New Year, and the ox cart at home was unoccupied.

"A Jin, just follow me the entire way. If the journey becomes tedious, we can keep each other company."

Li Jin was still impressed by Chen Xiran's awareness, so he agreed.

However, it wasn't until he got into the carriage that he realized how cold it was, and he had no desire to lift a finger, let alone keep each other company.

When Chen Xiran heard Li Jin's words, he exclaimed, "Sir, are you feeling cold?"

"I'm not cold, I'm accustomed to it!"

The driver maintained a steady pace. The three of them departed early in the morning. It was now just past noon, and he exclaimed, "We'll arrive in half a day."

Chen Xiran felt relieved.

Li Jin covered himself with a blanket and warmed up for a while. After finally feeling less cold, he rose and retrieved the pancakes he had prepared for the group.

There were also fragrant osmanthus flowers, which were not highly alcoholic, so one could warm themselves up in the winter.

As it grew dark early in the winter, when Li Jin and his group arrived, there were already people gathered by the low city wall.
