Chapter 81 How can my good son go into the kitchen to work!
Shui Qing tried to persuade him several times but to no avail.
Hu Wenhua said cheerfully on the side: "Sister, don't try to persuade me. My mother came here in a hurry just to help you. If you let her rest, she might as well go back."
After looking around, he asked: "Sister, I see there are a lot of helpers, what should I do?"
Shui Qing looked at his burly younger brother and pointed towards the rivers and lakes in the distance: "I bought six rabbits yesterday. Go and help build a bigger nest."
The last time he built a thatched house, he had already built a small nest and surrounded it with stones, which was enough for six rabbits to have fun.
It's just that rabbits have very strong reproductive abilities. These six rabbits will be able to give birth to little rabbits in a few months. The litters will be born soon, so prepare the litter in advance so as not to panic.
After all, it’s up to them to improve the food next summer
What Hu Wenhua thought the last time he built a nest was that his sister and brother-in-law might catch hares and put them to use when raising them in captivity. Unexpectedly, they did come in handy, but instead of catching hares, they bought them.
But it’s okay to buy them, they are all rabbits, and the rabbit meat is always fragrant and delicious!
He grinned: "Okay, sister, I can finish the base in one day!"
"When the base is finished, you will be responsible for laying the adobe, while the bricklayer at home is at work, so that you can build the pigsty." Shui Qingshi was not polite when he called his younger brother.
My family is casual and comfortable.
Mother Hu was smiling broadly at the side and told her son: "You are strong, but you have to fight faster and don't make people laugh!
Besides, your father will deliver the piglets in less than two days. If there is no pig pen, if the piglets are not raised well, your nieces and nephews will have no meat to eat next year. "
Speaking of the back, don’t forget to apply pressure.
When Hu Wenhua thought that this was related to the food for his nephews next year, he patted his chest and responded boldly: "I'm going to lay the adobe! After laying the adobe, I'll build a rabbit nest."
Anyway, the rabbit's nest is not urgent, but the pigsty is.
After saying that, he crossed his long legs and ran away quickly.
Shui Qing raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, "Little brother, how diligent you are now, how delicious it will be when you eat meat next year!"
Mother Hu was washing some tender vegetables and asked, "What are you going to make for lunch?"
When building a house in the countryside, it is a custom to take care of the noon meal.
And it's still dry.
Shui Qing was moving a large wooden basin. When he heard this, he replied: "There are so many people that we can't afford rice and white noodles. I'm thinking of cooking a few big pots of vegetable and egg soup and serving it with corn flour pancakes. It's easy to make and easy to eat." fast.
Mom, what do you think? "
Rice and white noodles are so eye-catching. If a farmer’s family feeds dozens of helpers on rice and white noodles for ten days and a half, the entire Guang Ninh Prefecture will probably know about it!
Mother Hu recognized with approval that even the Yuan family in Niutou Town only used corn flour, millet, etc., with clear water and egg soup. Even if there was no meat, it was still a decent meal.
Before, the child's father brought people to help, and his daughter served him with rice and flour. Although rice and flour were expensive, it only lasted for one day. Now that dozens of people have been here for at least half a month, she was afraid that her daughter would use rice and flour again.
Now he felt relieved, nodded and said: "It's very good, I can do it."
After receiving the approval, Shui Qing no longer hesitated and scooped up the corn noodles with a gourd ladle.
The orange-yellow-orange color is so beautiful.
When two people work together, the speed increases significantly.
Fan Jin is discussing specific matters with the bricklayers and carpenters from Fucheng.
The bricklayer hired eight major workers, respectively responsible for the progress of the main house, the east wing, the west wing, and the reverse wing.
There are many helpers, so the four sides can work at the same time without disturbing each other, and the construction is quick.
There are master bricklayers watching over the command, so that the work can be carried out according to the drawings and the quality of the house can be guaranteed.
A carpenter is a master with two apprentices.
Fan Jin told the carpenter the specific requirements: "Ten beds are all one meter wide and two meters long."
Shuiqing said that this size is the most suitable. It is spacious for two people to sleep, and even more spacious for one person to sleep in.
The children are still young now, but they will eventually grow up. The wood at home is made of solid materials and will not break down after sleeping for decades. We can simply do it in one step and save the need to replace it when we get married.
Each of the five children has his or her own room, and together with them, the house needs six beds.
When my father-in-law and mother-in-law came here, they stayed in one room, the Wenhua room, and two spare rooms in the guest room. Although there are no guests now, there might be some in the future.
"Okay! We will make whatever you say!" After hearing that ten beds were made at once, the three carpenters immediately got excited.
They originally thought that in a country house, one for adults, one for girls, one for boys, and one more for guests would be a big deal!
Who would have thought that the male master would get ten cards as soon as he opened his mouth, and the more they did, the more they would earn, so of course they would be happy.
Fan Jin added: "The same ten cabinets, three of which are large cabinets, three of normal size, and the other four simple small wardrobes will do."
Shui Qing said that the cabinet they and their two daughters had was a big one, and there might be a lot of clothes in the back. The clothes for the boys in Jianghehu were few in style, so one normal-sized one would be enough for each person.
Even if Hu's father, Hu's mother and Jia Wenhua came to live, they wouldn't be able to stay for too long because of their temperament, and all they would bring would be a change of clothes and a simple small wardrobe.
"The dining table needs a large round table that can seat at least ten people, an Eight Immortals table, four long benches, eighteen domino benches, and five or six small benches for people to sit on while choosing and washing vegetables and clothes."
"By the way, we also need to make two tubs, one large and one small, for bathing, and five or six large wooden barrels." The wooden barrels for rice wine I bought yesterday were still missing when I came back.
There happened to be a carpenter around, so I took advantage of this opportunity to make it, which was cheaper than buying it ready-made.
"Okay, remember!" the carpenter master responded one by one.
The tasks were handed over, the division of labor was clear, and the work was in full swing and organized, busy but not chaotic.
After Fan Jin looked around, he returned to the kitchen and prepared to eat with Shui Qing.
When Mother Hu saw her son-in-law making noodles, she was happy but worried at the same time and said: "Son-in-law, go and have a rest. Shuiqing and I will be in the kitchen!"
If you, a scholar, are seen working in the kitchen, Shui Qing will be blamed to death. "
In which family does a man work in the kitchen? Especially my son-in-law is a scholar!
When others saw her, she couldn't help but say that her daughter was too lazy and had to do all the work in the kitchen.
Before Shui Qing could speak, Fan Jin spoke first: "Mom, it's okay. We can do whatever we want, no one else can control it."
Seeing that her son-in-law didn't care at all, Hu's mother became even more happy, and looked at Fan Jin's eyes with great satisfaction.
My son-in-law knows how to care for others.
"Hey, how can my good son work in the kitchen!
I think I have raised him for more than 20 years and never let him cook. How come he has to work in the kitchen soon after he is separated? "
