Just after finishing his "work report" in front of Hakui and others, Ayoto was caught by Arima and taken to his office.
"Ji Jun, I am very pleased that your thoughts have undergone such a transformation, that you have realized the great responsibility on your shoulders, and that you have such vigor!"
After catching Qingteng into his office, Arima immediately took Qingteng's hands and spoke words of encouragement and praise to Qingteng sincerely.
As Qingdou's elder and superior, Arima was happy from the bottom of his heart when he saw this junior and his subordinates finally became more confident.
Although Qing Teng solved the case today, it was a bit disgraceful. Unknown to Nishino, he acted alone, which seemed to be stealing credit.
But—what the hell!
Although Arima's behavior is a bit old-fashioned, his thinking is not old-fashioned.
Nishino and his subordinates who are not under his control - who should be favored, needless to say?
Tachibana-kun has already said that he acted on his own because he was worried that after spending time convincing Nishino and himself to catch the criminal, the criminal would escape! He was not trying to take credit! My subordinates were not wrong at all - Arima is similar
Using hypnosis, this sentence was deeply engraved into his blood...
Arima is in a very excited mood right now, so he talks a lot more.
He grabbed Qingdeng's hand, praised and encouraged Qingdeng in various ways, and waited for half an hour before finally letting him go.
They work together to handle the case, not just to bring the criminal back and then be done with it.
After escorting the criminal back, they still have a bunch of complicated procedures to deal with.
You have to hand over prisoners to the colleague responsible for managing prisoners, and go to the official room to report to the colleague responsible for managing the trap...
After finishing all these messy chores, the time came to the evening unknowingly.
We adhere to a strict "six to six" system.
The doors open at 6 o'clock in the morning and close at 6 o'clock in the evening. After the practice is closed, no one is allowed to stay in the practice. If you want to work overtime, you can go home and work overtime.
Judging from the fact that no one is allowed to work overtime in the shrine once it is closed... the shrine in the Edo period might have been more humane than some modern jobs.
At this time, the sun is almost sinking into the horizon, which means that Qingdeng's rather long "first day at work" is finally coming to an end...
…
…
Working as an errand in the Edo military office has a perk that is particularly cool in ancient times and modern times - the government will allocate land to you.
Yes, it’s not a house, it’s land!
Yuli-level officials, such as Arima, can be allocated 2,300 square meters of land, while Tongxin-level officials, such as Qingdeng and others, can be allocated about 100 square meters of land.
[Note·1 ping = 3.31 square meters]
Due to the strength of the shrine, the land allocated to the doshins was located in Hatchobori, so people in the Edo period often used "Hatchobori" as the nickname for the shrine.
For example: "Let's go to the people at Hatchobori for help." This means to go to the people at the shrine for help.
"The gentlemen from Hatchobori are here" means that the people who support the practice and the power of the community are here.
Regarding the large land allocated to them, everyone basically uses only a small piece of land to build houses, and then leaves most of the land for yards, growing vegetables, or transforming it into a training ground for practicing martial arts.
After Aoto's father, Takayuki Tachibana, became the governor of the northern town, the Tachibana family moved to Hatchobori.
The land Qingdeng and his family were allocated was neither more nor less—exactly 100 square meters.
40 square meters of it has been used to build a house, and the other 60 square meters of land was originally intended to be used as a vegetable garden, but unfortunately - neither Tachibana Takayuki nor their old servant Kyuubei can do it.
Plant vegetables.
What you plant will die, so the small courtyard of Qingdeng's family has been in a state of neglect since a year ago.
After successfully completing a series of handover tasks regarding Senzaburo, Aoto, dragging his slightly tired body, returned to his home in Hatchobori at dusk.
As soon as he entered the house, Qingdeng smelled the aroma of soybeans.
"Ah, young master, you are back!" Jiubei grabbed a vegetable spoon as usual and hurriedly walked from the kitchen to the door to greet Qingto, "I followed your instructions last night.
, I went to the market today and bought a lot of soybeans and soybeans! I cooked soybean soup tonight! Please go to the living room to rest for now! Dinner will be ready soon!"
This old servant who has worked for the Tachibana family for most of his life has one characteristic - he rarely takes the initiative to ask Qingdeng and his son about their work.
Do your duty diligently. When the master and the young master come back from the service, they immediately serve delicious meals without asking if they have anything. This is how Kyubei spent his time for decades.
.
"Okay." Qingdeng smiled and took off the sword from his waist, "These soybeans and soybeans shouldn't be expensive, right?"
"It's not very expensive, soybeans are 25 cents and soybeans are 20 cents. Come, young master, give me your knife."
Ever since he deeply realized how weak his current body was in the training hall yesterday, Qingdeng made up his mind to improve his physical fitness as quickly as possible!
If he allows his body to remain so weak, he will probably become one of the modern "Martial Arts Masters" in the future - he has a beautiful posture but only punches out, causing 0.5 damage.
To improve physical fitness, in addition to scientific training methods, you must also have adequate nutritional intake.
If you want to build a strong body, enough protein is essential.
If there is any food that is richest in protein... then it has to be meat.
However...meat in this era is not so expensive...
In this era, both men and women are generally not tall.
The main reason why this happens, in addition to genetic problems, is dietary problems.
Japan is a country deeply influenced by Buddhist culture.
Buddhism was introduced to Japan in the mid-6th century AD. With its strong vitality, Buddhist culture integrated with Japan's local culture at an astonishing speed and began to influence all aspects of people's lives.
In 675 AD, Emperor Tenmu, who was deeply influenced by Buddhist culture, issued a "meat ban" out of various considerations, prohibiting people from eating meat.
This "meat ban" completely changed the eating habits of the ancient Japanese.
Not long after entering the shogunate era when samurai began to take power, the "meat ban" became ineffective, but the custom of not eating meat continued to spread until the current Edo period.
The Edo Shogunate did not prohibit people from eating meat.
But because the idea of "not eating meat" has been deeply ingrained in people's minds, people don't eat much meat until now. The only meat they eat on daily basis is seafood.
Although pork, beef, venison and other meats are sold in the market, they are all extremely expensive.
With Qingdeng's current financial resources, he cannot afford to consume extremely expensive meat.
Since we can't afford meat, we can only settle for the next best thing.
There is a food that is as rich in protein as meat.
That is beans, especially soybeans.
The protein content of soybeans is about 30% to 40%. It is rich in nutrients and is not expensive. Even Qingdeng and his family can afford it.
Therefore, Aomori specifically told Kyubei last night: Starting from tomorrow, more legumes, mainly soybeans and soybeans, should be added to their daily meals.
Kyubey doesn't seem to be very good at soy-related dishes. Although the soybean soup he cooks is not terrible, it is definitely not as good as it is delicious.
However, Qingdeng is not very strict in his food choices. As long as he can eat imported food, he is not picky.
After quickly finishing today's dinner and resting for a while, Qingden took off his upper body clothes and began to exercise.
In his previous life, as a muscular tyrant who loved fitness, he naturally had all the skills related to fitness!
Anyone who loves fitness knows that those fancy fitness equipment in the gym can actually only serve as the icing on the cake.
If you really want to exercise, you can still exercise your body quite well even in a narrow cell with no fitness equipment and only some simple furniture.
Since he still had to go to work at the monastery during the day, Qingden made a plan for himself to spend at least half an hour every night to exercise.
Even in the Edo period, when there was no modern fitness equipment, he still had full confidence in training himself to become the muscle tyrant he was in his previous life!
Squats, push-ups, sit-ups... There are not too many fitness methods that can be performed even without equipment to assist.
"Young Master, what are you doing?" Jiubei looked at Aomori who was holding his hands on the door frame and practicing pull-ups, and blinked his eyes a few times in confusion.
Jiubeyi feels that the young master has been acting weird these days, and suddenly he behaves a lot strangely.
The night before yesterday, I lay on the floor and fucked the tatami mat one after another (push-ups).
But now I'm grabbing the doorframe and fucking the ceiling one after another... (Pull-ups)
"Huh? This is the same as the push-ups I practiced the night before. It is an effective method of exercising that was recommended to me by a friend of mine."
"I have a friend" is such a good excuse.
The dull-minded Kyubei is not a person who likes to dig into the bottom of things and get to the bottom of things.
After this diligent old scalper briefly asked what Qingdeng was doing, he asked no more questions and silently helped his young master with a series of logistical tasks, and handed Qingdeng, who was sweating profusely from training,
Sweat towel, hand over water.
After practicing his body for nearly an hour, Qingdeng went to the courtyard of their home to practice swordsmanship.
There was a lack of entertainment activities in this era, and there was nothing else Qingden could do in the evenings other than fitness and practicing swordsmanship.
After the muscles in his arms, legs, back, chest, etc. were all sore from the exercise, and he judged that it was no longer suitable to continue practicing, Qingto excitedly called Kyuubei and asked him to prepare to scrub his body.
of water, and prepare to go to bed after scrubbing your body.
For Qingdeng, his biggest achievement today was not to win immediately. He solved a murder case brilliantly on his first day at work, which greatly changed his originally extremely bad reputation.
Instead, he copied from that Xun Saburo a talent that was very useful just by looking at the introduction: God of Sleep!
The quality of sleep is far better than that of ordinary people. It is easier to fall asleep and less prone to insomnia. The time required to sleep is much shorter than that of ordinary people... Isn't this one of the skills that Qingdeng most desired to possess in his previous life?
In his previous life, Ayoto was not very keen on Japanese two-dimensional culture.
The only Japanese animation he has ever watched is "Doraemon".
When watching "Doraemon", Aoto has always been envious of Nohio in it.
Because Nobiko has the magical ability to fall asleep in 0.96 seconds.
When I was young, I didn't think this skill was so powerful.
It wasn't until he grew up that he could no longer be as carefree as he was when he was a child, and was often entangled in trivial matters that kept him awake all night long. Only then did Ayoto realize how great Nobiko's "quickly falling asleep" skill was.
In today's highly stressful modern society, it would be a blessing to have the ability to fall asleep quickly and sleep soundly no matter when and where.
Ever since he copied this talent, Qingdeng has been looking forward to the night today.
He eagerly wanted to try out the effectiveness of this talent.
After simply wiping his sweaty body with clean water, putting on his pajamas, and crawling into bed, Qingden turned to look at the night sky outside the window next to him, and deduce the current time based on the night color.
——Now...it should be around 22 o'clock.
Qingdeng closed his eyes and adjusted his sleeping position to a more comfortable position.
——According to the introduction of the system, one of the effects of this "god of sleep" is that it makes me fall asleep much easier than ordinary people.
——Ha... I wonder if I can become like Nobiko, who can fall asleep in less than a second.
——Well, it should be impossible...
…
…
…
…
call!
Qingdeng suddenly opened the blanket covering himself, with a hint of panic between his brows.
--I am asleep……?!
He raised his hand and touched his face.
——When did you fall asleep...?!
When did I fall asleep...I can't remember at all.
I just remember that after I got into bed, I fell asleep unconsciously without even realizing it...
Qingdeng quickly turned his head to look at the night outside the window next to him.
Now...it's only 1 a.m. at most.
After checking the current time, Qingden raised his hands and kneaded the muscles in his arms, legs and other places.
Qingdeng just feels...in great shape now!
My head was very clear, I was very energetic, and every pore on my body seemed to be stretched.
The soreness and swelling in my muscles after a good workout last night have almost disappeared!
He looked out the window at the night that had just passed 2 a.m., and then looked down at his own body. Qingden was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time.
