86. The Rival in Love Has Receded(1/2)
After Jiang Zhen asked someone to report to the official, he did not care about the follow-up matters, and Zheng Yi didn't care about it either. They didn't know that the county magistrate almost cried with joy after taking the yamen runners to the water bandit village - the people in the yamen no longer had to go hungry, and the entire county magistrate could finally operate normally.
And this has a lot to do with Jiang Zhen’s rush to leave.
Jiang Zhen rushed back, but even the water bandits' warehouse had not moved all the things, but they just moved all the money and the precious goods.
If there weren't many people on the boat to support him, Jiang Zhen wouldn't even plan to move the food in the warehouse.
As a result, he left a lot of things in the warehouse... and this water bandit village had more than the things in the warehouse.
The homes of those bandits also had some silver and food.
After the people in the yamen came, they searched the entire mountain and naturally had a lot of gains. When they learned that Shuang'er, the woman in the village and the stolen sailors were taken away by the Jin Zhen Escort Agency, the county magistrate couldn't help but sigh: "The people from the Jin Zheng Escort Agency are really good people."
If they rescued a group of people, they would have to spend money to settle them, and now they finally saved another amount of money.
After destroying the water bandits, some food and silver were obtained to provide relief to the people under their jurisdiction. The newly appointed county magistrate was very happy and helped promote the Jinzhen escort.
Jiang Zhen didn't know about this, but to be honest, the food was indeed left intentionally by him.
In life, you can't be too greedy.
After Jiang Zhen reported to Zheng Yi, he was busy assigning the sailors to Zheng Yi and gave them many people. When he finished his work, it was already dark.
After sleeping outside for a few days, Jiang Zhen was very tired. That night, he hugged Brother Zhao Jin and slept in the main cabin. When he set off the next day, he stayed on the main boat again.
As a result, Brother Zhao Jin never saw the two people who covet Jiang Zhen again.
He didn't even eat the food made by the cook. Jiang Zhen ordered the man to ask her to cook, but the chef didn't do anything on the boat.
Brother Zhao Jin was eager to stay on the main ship and not to meet Liu Qianqian and Zhao Lingxi, but that was Jiang Zhen’s ship, so it was obviously impossible not to go...
In the evening that day, several ships stopped by the river and decided to take a break, Jiang Zhen took Brother Zhao to his boat.
Brother Zhao was full of vigilance when he went there, but Jiang Zhen had long forgotten about that incident. He was thinking about letting Brother Zhao try the dishes made by the cook - the chef on the main boat did not cook specifically for Brother Zhao, and Brother Zhao always ate pickles.
As soon as Jiang Zhen got on the boat, he ordered the cook to cook, and not long after, the cook brought the meal.
Although I had already taken a lot of seasonings from the main ship, there was not much food on the ship, and Brother Zhao didn't eat greasy food, so naturally there were very few things that could be cooked... But even so, the chef still made several dishes.
A plate of white-boiled river shrimp, a bowl of tea eggs, a bowl of pickles and mung bean sprouts, a plate of cold kelp and a large bowl of egg flower soup.
"My lady can't eat meat. I don't know if shrimp can be eaten. If not, I'll change it." said the cook.
Brother Zhao Jin can eat shrimp. He smells meat and smells greasy, but the shrimp cooked with sliced ginger feels delicious.
The chef specially used minced garlic to make a bowl of vinegar. Brother Zhao Jin felt it was good when he smelled it. He peeled the shrimp and dipped it in vinegar, so he couldn't stop eating it.
"I used to think it would be great to dip shrimps in soy sauce, but I didn't expect it to taste better when dipping vinegar." Zhao Jinge couldn't help but say. In Hexi Village, no one went to catch river shrimps specifically, but these things are often accidentally caught when fishing.
Usually, you can get a few of this thing every time, and no one will cook it specifically, but children like shrimp meat very much, so of course they can't waste it.
If people in Hexi Village catch shrimps, they usually put them in a bowl. When boiling water, they scoop some boiling water and boil them. The river shrimps are not big, and if they are so hot, they can be cooked.
After the scalding, the children can peel the meat and eat it. If there is soy sauce at home, they will pour out a little soy sauce, so that the children can dip it in soy sauce after peeling the shrimp.
For children, this is very delicious. Brother Zhao Jin has always missed eating shrimp when he was a child.
His brother was still there at that time. The two of them put some rice into the basket and put the basket down into the river. When the river shrimps and fish enter the basket to eat rice, they immediately lifted the basket... They can always catch a lot of river shrimps and can eat them to satisfy their appetite.
But later his brother passed away, and neither he nor his parents were in the mood to do this.
People in Hexi Village will buy soy sauce a few times as long as their family conditions are acceptable, but no one will buy something like vinegar.
That is, Jiang Zhen made money before, so he brought some jealousy back to his house. However, because Zhao Liu was not very good at using it, Zhao Jin didn't eat much jealousy.
It was also at this time that Brother Zhao Jin realized that vinegar was so delicious.
"Where did you get this shrimp?" Jiang Zhen asked. The plate of river shrimp was not easy to get.
"Someone on the boat can catch shrimps, so I asked them to catch some." The cook immediately said, "If you like it, you can ask them to make more. There are shrimps in the water plants on the shore we are leaning against now."
"Then you go and get more." Jiang Zhen said.
"No need..." Brother Zhao Jin was not used to asking others to help him get food, so he quickly refused.
"It's okay, if you like it, eat more." Jiang Zhen patted Brother Zhao Jin's shoulder and said to the cook: "My wife likes sweet and sour flavors. Next time you can make some sweet and sour fish or something."
He said something to the cook and asked her to leave, but let her son stay, and said to Brother Zhao Jin: "His name is Xiaoruo, and I will follow you from now on."
The cook used to cook for the owner on the boat, and Xiao Ruo kept doing some work of serving people. He was shocked and served Brother Zhao very carefully and wanted to pick up food for Brother Zhao Jin. Then Brother Zhao Jin hurriedly refused.
Zhao Jin Ge was a little uncomfortable because someone was watching this meal, but overall he was very satisfied. At least there was no dish on this table that he didn't like.
Even, he had a little more food, especially the shrimp.
In fact, he stopped eating half of it, but Jiang Zhen was still peeling it for him to eat. Then, he was not careful and ate too much, which made Jiang Zhen unable to eat.
Brother Zhao Jin was a little embarrassed, but Jiang Zhen was very satisfied. Brother Zhao Jin retching again after getting up this morning, afraid that he would not be able to see greasy, but if he ate fish and shrimp, it would be okay not to eat greasy things.
Jiang Zhen still had a lot of things to do, so he left after dinner with Brother Zhao Jin and left, leaving only Brother Zhao Jin and Xiao Ruo.
Xiaoruo is not old, and Brother Zhao treats him as a child. The two of them can speak in a while.
Then, Brother Zhao Jin asked about the matter in the water bandit village.
"The master is so amazing. He rushed up the mountain with his people. He killed several water bandits with one knife, killed several water bandits with one punch, and kicked several water bandits to death..." Xiaoruo was timid. He and his mother actually hid in the woodshed and didn't dare to go out at all, so what he said was all the nonsense after hearing what others said.
Brother Zhao Jin knew this, after all, that was too fake, but he was still very happy to hear it.
However, after listening for a while, Brother Zhao Jin felt that he... seemed a little too depraved.
Jiang Zhen is busy with work outside, so he can't just stay in the house and just talk to the servant and not go out, right?
Brother Zhao Jin thought that it would be better for him to go out and help Jiang Zhen.
Brother Zhao Jin went out, but Jiang Zhen was not on the boat, but went to another boat.
"What's wrong?" Brother Zhao Jin asked Wang Haisheng.
"There are some marks on that ship, and the boss wants to get them out." Wang Haisheng said.
The ships and cargoes stolen from the water bandits all have their original owners, and some of them have marks on them.
Although the original owner was basically killed by the water bandits, their family was still there and they might cause trouble.
Jiang Zhen actually didn't expect this, so Zheng Yi reminded him and sent someone to help him check it out. He found all the inappropriate areas and planned to find someone to rectify them.
When Jiang Zhen was not here, Zhao Jinge was suddenly a little disappointed and his stomach was not feeling well again.
However, at this moment, he saw Liu Qianqian and Zhao Lingxi.
As soon as he saw these two people, Zhao Jin Ge immediately became full of fighting spirit.
No matter what, he didn't want to show weakness in front of these two people. He definitely couldn't retching or something... After thinking about this, Brother Zhao Jin didn't want to vomit anymore.
No matter how calm Brother Zhao Jin looked, he was actually very scared. After all, he felt that he was really ugly compared to these two people...
However, others can't see his inferiority complex.
Liu Qianqian and Zhao Lingxi only felt that Zhao Jin Ge frowned and looked very ferocious, which made them dare not come forward to speak.
But... they were forced to do a day's work today, and they had no food to eat if they didn't finish it. They really couldn't stand it...
Even if they do the job the easiest, they don't want to do it anymore.
In fact, they had other ideas, such as changing into a different person, but Jiang Zhen gave his subordinates a death order, saying that if someone touched his daughter Shuang'er on the boat, he would not be allowed to follow him again.
In this way, how could Jiang Zhen’s subordinates dare to be interested in these people? Of course, none of them can get along with each other.
Those who were rescued like them were hooked up, but those people were useless if they hooked up!
These two people really don’t want to work and can’t do anything. Before, Jiang Zhen was posing outside and didn’t even look at them...
As soon as they gritted their teeth, they simply came to find Brother Zhao Jin.
"Madam, just keep us and let us serve you."
"We are not clean, and we can't go over you no matter how we stay. We can still listen to you. We will do whatever you ask us to do in the future."
"We can keep our guard to protect the master and prevent him from being hooked by the fox outside."
...
The two of them looked pitiful and begged Brother Zhao Jin.
They felt that Brother Zhao would definitely agree... After all, they had already inquired, and Brother Zhao actually had a bad temper.
Both of them were tied up by water bandits, and even if they were concubines, they would not be too favored. It would be a good idea for Brother Zhao to keep them. They could even help Brother Zhao to deal with other people who wanted to climb up.
If Jiang Zhen likes other people who have been born well in the future, Brother Zhao Jin might have to give way! With them, it will be different. They will help Brother Zhao Jin drive the newcomer away!
These two people were confident, but Brother Zhao Jin was a little confused.
At first he didn't understand what these two people meant, and he thought they were really going to serve him. Later, he understood, and then he couldn't help but be extremely angry.
Both of them want to follow Jiang Zhen!
Brother Zhao felt extremely uncomfortable when he thought that Jiang Zhen might be nice to these two people and would kiss and touch them.
He had a good temper and was inferior, so he really encountered this situation. He probably was angry and left silently, but now...
Looking at these two people, Zhao Jin Ge suddenly said, "Get out!"
Liu Qianqian and Zhao Lingxi were both stunned. Even Brother Zhao didn't expect that he would drive people like this.
To be continued...
