The cave has changed a lot after the two people's layout modification.
The pattern of the hole is said to be like a half-petal shape, because there are three small oval holes in the hole, which just surround the big hole in the center, and it feels like three petals and a flower center. The three small holes can be used as bedrooms and a room for storing sundries, and the big hole in the middle is used as a hall.
Zhang Jin cleaned the inside and outside of the cave. The cave was first covered with clean weeds, and then covered with a layer of leather, which was very soft and comfortable. Fortunately, although Yuan Hong usually didn't have much food, there was still a lot of leather.
The two put the bed in one of the small holes. Zhang Jin also deliberately picked up different kinds of branches and cut them into various shapes to decorate the "bedroom". After a deliberate arrangement, a simple and natural charm was revealed. come out.
Yuan Hongze cut down a few trees to make the gate outside the cave, as well as a small stool and a small table inside the cave, and even made a small swing out of excess wood. Although this swing can only bear a weight of about 50 pounds, so it can only be used for viewing, but it does not hinder Zhang Jin's love for it. I did not expect Yuan Hong to make these objects so delicate.
After the layout, the cave has a new look and a warm feeling everywhere. Because the wind can't come in, the temperature in the cave is much higher than outside, so Zhang Jin will no longer shiver from the cold every night when he sleeps.
After the place to live is settled, the next step is the issue of food.
Before the heavy snow closed the mountain, Yuan Hong took Zhang Jin to the mountain every day, and shot a lot of prey. Zhang Jin made the prey into bacon, and a few were used to make sausage. a room. Fortunately, the prey in this mountain is still relatively rich, otherwise, with the amount of hunting they hunt, the prey on the mountain may become extinct next year.
After they had enough meat, the two stopped hunting. There are not many days left until the first snowfall.
Zhang Jin has been very troubled and tangled in the past few days. Yan has almost run out of bacon before, and there are not enough clothes for the two of them, especially his own. He has no clothes for winter at all. So, they had to go down the mountain to the town.
Because of this, Zhang Jin was troubled and tangled. He will never forget what happened that day.
He admitted that he was a little bit complaining about the people in Yuanjia Village, because they actually chained Yuanhong and locked him in the ancestral hall. Although he knew that the situation at that time was probably a last resort, he still couldn't let it go.
Yuan Hong's status in his heart had risen to a height that even he himself was surprised. That day he would say the words that he would never go down the mountain again. Get angry.
And if he gets off the mountain, he doesn't know if Yuan Hong will be stimulated again. Although his current situation is very stable, he doesn't dare to take risks. He can't guarantee that something will happen to the people from Yuanjia Village. After all, most of them He was apprehensive and even fearful of Yuan Hong.
In fact, Yuan Hong had already seen Zhang Jin's thoughts, and he had to go down the mountain. Zhang Jin didn't have enough clothes, so he had to buy clothes for winter and rice. He ate meat every day. Zhang Jin's appetite was obviously not good. Whatever impact he has caused, he is very confident in his current state.
"Let's go to town tomorrow." Yuan Hong said to Zhang Jin.
When Zhang Jin heard this, there was worry in his eyes. He wanted to say that it was not necessary, but the reality was that there were indeed many things that had to be purchased in the town, otherwise this winter would be very difficult.
"You don't have to worry. I know my situation very well."
Zhang Jin sighed. Although he was still not at ease, Yuan Hong was right. His situation is very good now. To be honest, he was a little too worried.
"Okay, then we can't be separated tomorrow."
Zhang Jin's words were actually a no-brainer, it was impossible for Yuan Hong to let Zhang Jin out of his sight.
The next day, the two got up early and transported the excess prey to the town to sell. The last time I came across a rare mink, it had been trapped in a hole, and its fur was smooth and smooth. It was estimated that it could sell for a good price in the town.
Yuan Hong took Zhang Jin to take a shortcut down the mountain. He didn't pass through Yuanjia Village, so he didn't meet anyone he knew along the way.
After arriving in the town, Zhang Jin first followed Yuan Hong to the restaurant to sell the extra prey. When he came out, he happened to meet a man who looked like an extravagant young man. Two bought it in the past.
This is a rare high price. Although Zhang Jin has no idea about the silver here, it can be seen from the stunned expression on the shopkeeper's face, and the one who sold so many prey to the shopkeeper just got 10 taels of silver, including a whole wild boar.
Luckily, he met a rich owner, and Zhang Jin happily handed the mink in his hand to the servant beside him. In addition to the prey sold to the restaurant, they now have 110 taels of silver.
Zhang Jin asked Yuan Hong to find out that one tael of silver here is equal to one thousand wen, which is consistent. For one cent, you can buy a sesame cake. The price of rice is about 8 cents per pound, the price of fine noodles is about 6 cents, and the price of coarse grains is about 4 cents per catty. After listening, Zhang Jin had a general understanding of the money here. It seems that 110 taels is really a lot of money.
Because he was afraid of being washed away by the crowd, Yuan Hong was holding Zhang Jin's hand tightly on the street. As soon as Zhang Jin entered the town, he kept looking around, wishing he could see everything. A modern man suddenly came to the living ancient times. Everything feels fresh.
"If you like it, let's come again before it snows." Yuan Hong raised the corners of his lips slightly when he saw Zhang Jin's novel look.
"No, I just think it's new for a while. I'll talk about it later when I have a chance."
Yuan Hong didn't say anything, just carefully guarded Zhang Jin to prevent him from being bumped into.
"Guest officer, take a look inside."
Yuan Hong took Zhang Jin to a cloth shop called "Jinxiu Garden", and a young brother greeted him warmly.
"I don't know what kind of cloth the two of you want to buy. We still have ready-made clothes here. I wonder if you two are interested?"
"Take us to see the ready-made clothes." Yuan Hongdao.
"Two guest officers, please."
Zhang Jin and Yuan Hong followed the younger brother to the ready-to-wear section. There are no women here, jobs such as embroidery and making clothes for women are all done by men, maybe the original one, but Zhang Jin at this time really doesn't know anything about it. Not to mention Yuan Hong, a man who is used to hunting, holding an embroidery needle, sews and mends like a woman, how strange he thinks. Both naturally chose ready-to-wear.
In the end, Yuan Hong bought two sets of cotton-padded clothes for winter, while Zhang Jin was forced to stuff four sets by Yuan Hong. The ready-to-wear clothes were much more expensive than the cloth, but the quality was acceptable. Six sets of clothes cost 5 taels of silver.
Later, the two went to buy a lot of radishes and Chinese cabbage. There are few kinds of vegetables in winter, these two are more common, and they bought a lot of dry goods. Yuan Hong is a hunter. He has neither planted nor land. He used to deal with it casually, but this year is different. He wants to let Zhang Jin spend the winter comfortably.
After buying everything, let alone four hands, even four more will not be able to be mentioned.
In the end, Yuan Hong decided to buy a bullock cart. Zhang Jin had no understanding of the actual situation of this dynasty, but he knew that in ancient times, cattle had extraordinary significance to ordinary people's families. However, Yuan Hong was a hunter. He had no land and no need to cultivate. The cattle he bought had no use other than pulling things down.
"Forget it, let's hire a car to go back." Zhang Jin suggested.
"I have to buy it anyway, and I just need it today."
Zhang Jin looked at him suspiciously.
Yuan Hong continued, "I plan to buy some fields and plant rice next spring." Then he added softly, "You don't have to eat meat in the future."
Although the voice was very soft, Zhang Jin still heard it, and he was warm laughed. Although I don't know whether the policy here is strict on household registration management, Yuan Hong said this, it is estimated that it is quite loose. Zhang Jin nodded.
It cost twenty taels of silver to buy an ox cart, plus the previous expenses, now they only have 80 taels left. After loading the things into the bullock cart, Zhang Jin habitually looked around. Suddenly, a pleasant flute sound came, Zhang Jin turned his head, and saw a small stall with all kinds of musical instruments on it, and the stall owner was playing a piccolo.
Noticing that Zhang Jin's gaze hadn't been withdrawn for a long time, Yuan Hong simply pulled him to the side of the stall, "Did you like it?"
Zhang Jin set his eyes on one of the flutes. He hadn't touched these instruments for a long time. . Before his rebirth, he would spend a certain amount of time each week practicing the instruments he had learned. His family is a scholarly family, both the grandparents and his parents have good talents.
His grandma has deep attainments in classical music, especially the erhu. It is estimated that everyone who knows a little about the erhu has heard his grandma's name. The great-grandfather was a famous painter in country C. Grandpa did not inherit the mantle of his great-grandfather. He became a writer and was a professor at a famous university in country C, but his skills in painting were not inferior to others.
What he is good at is actually the erhu. His grandmother had a great influence on him. When he was very young, every time he watched his grandmother performing on stage, he admired him very much.
In addition to the guidance of his grandmother, even though he is not in this major, his Erhu is still better than those who have studied this major, and he usually practices hard.
The flute is also an instrument he has learned, but he is not very proficient in it. He learned it from his grandmother in his spare time.
"How much is this?" Yuan Hong picked up the flute that Zhang Jin liked.
The stall owner, a middle-aged man in his forties, replied, "100 pennies."
Yuan Hong gave him the money.
Zhang Jin took the flute and stroked its body. From the outside, the workmanship of this flute was decent. Of course it can't be compared to his previous one, but he's already very satisfied.
"I'll play it for you when I go back." Zhang Jin happily held the flute in his hand.
Yuan Hong stared at his happy face, followed by a smile.
