Chapter 8 Chapter 8

"Then twenty Wen a day."

Wang Yougui: "..." The stupid son of the landlord's family.

"Sure, I will trouble you about finding someone. I will give you the blueprint of the house tomorrow. I'll go first."

"Hey, stay for dinner!"

"No."

Chengfeng hurried to the county again, treating it as a morning exercise, the house will start tomorrow, he has to hurry up and ask if there are any extra blue bricks.I inquired about shops that sold building materials, and luckily there was still a batch left. Chengfeng negotiated with the shop to let them send the blue bricks to Wangjia Village, and bought some materials that needed to be used.

He really doesn't know what materials are needed to build a house, he would have asked Wang Yougui to come with him.Considering that it will snow here in winter, Chengfeng thinks that he can repair the ondol. Knowing that the management of ironware is not strict here, it is estimated that he can build a two-story house

It was already noon when we got home, and Wang Yougui led a group of men to squat under the shade of a tree in front of his house, like a gang fight.Seeing Chengfeng coming back, Wang Yougui quickly stood up and grinned.

"Come in." Chengfeng led more than twenty men into the room. The room was large and empty, with a wooden table and two benches left, and nothing else. It looked a bit bleak.

Putting down the Four Treasures of Study that I had just bought in my arms, I drew a blueprint for Wang Yougui, and told him my idea of ​​a two-story building and a warm kang. Chengfeng immediately felt relieved.He didn't know how to repair a house, so he just left the matter to Wang Yougui and let them start with their own composition.

After everyone had dispersed, Chengfeng thought about it and ran into the mountains. He said that he would pack lunch for others.

In fact, he has selfish intentions. He couldn't bear to see the little brother next door named Lin Muxiang dig wild vegetables every day, so he just found an excuse to go to his house to cook and eat. Seeing that he was almost skinny, he didn't know them. How parents raise children!

In the evening, the wind dragged a bamboo raft of pheasants, hares, and wild roe deer.They were all slaughtered in the lower reaches of the river, counting ten pheasants, five hares, and one wild roe deer, which should be enough for tomorrow's lunch.

Before it was dark, I thought it would be better to discuss it with my little brother's family.Chengfeng just dragged the slaughtered and cleaned prey to the little brother's house.When the little brother let him into the yard, there was a strong smell of medicine.

Seeing the little brother who only reached his collarbone with his head bowed and limping behind him, the oversized and patched clothes made him look even thinner, it was really an eyesore!

Thinking about what to call Lin Gui, Wang Yougui is seven or eight years older than him, so Lin Gui is older than Wang Yougui, so it should be fine for him to be called Uncle.

"Uncle Lin Gui!" Cheng Feng walked to the door of Lin Gui's house and called for someone.

"Here, come in."

Cheng Feng entered the room and saw Lin Gui lying on the bed, Li Shi coughing softly next to him, mending a piece of clothing, saw Cheng Feng coming in, hurriedly let him sit, and planned to pack it up and go out.

Calling Li's aunt and asking him to sit still, Chengfeng directly explained his purpose, Lin Gui didn't refuse, just borrowing a kitchen is no big deal.

"But I need Brother Mu Xiang's help. I may not be able to handle the food for these 20 men alone." Chengfeng paused: "And my place is full of materials, so I may have to eat here. Eating in the yard, do you think it will be possible for us to have a meal together during this time?"

"How……"

"Uncle Lin Gui, don't rush to reject me, my food is not good at all, I'm afraid you may not be used to it."

"Oh, how come we can't get used to it, how bad is the food you cook for the men who go to work!"

"It's fine if you get used to it. Then thank you, Uncle Lin Gui. I'm leaving first. I'll come back tomorrow morning."

Lin Gui: He seems to have been tricked into it?

Before going out, Chengfeng handed the few wild peaches on the bamboo raft to the little brother, but Muxiang refused to pick them up.

"Thank you, thank you," Chengfeng looked at him with his head down, his fingers twisting the hem of his clothes all the time, "Look at the doctor's money, I, I will return it to you."

Unable to hold back, he rubbed his head, his hair was dry and dry, and his hands didn't feel good at all. He couldn't help but feel nervous, and scolded Lin Gui and his wife for not being able to raise children.Put the peach directly in the little brother's hand, and said, "Then there is no need to pay back a little money. But can you help me make lunch tomorrow?"

"Yes, of course."

Smiling at the blushing face and suddenly bright eyes of my little brother, I dragged the bamboo raft in the wind and went home.It's just that after closing the courtyard door, his expression suddenly turned cold. How many years has it been since he smiled so sincerely at someone?

He hasn't really smiled softly since his grandfather passed away. He always smiles hypocritically and sarcasticly at others... But today I feel really good, but why?Would he smile so softly at a little brother he didn't even know?

At dawn the next day, more than 20 men came knocking on the door, and Cheng Feng fell off the roof to startle them.Ask them to move some newly bought useful things to the yard of the little brother's house, and they can dig the foundation on the original land to rebuild the house after demolishing the house.

Chengfeng didn't sleep all night, but he was still in good spirits. He moved the meat marinated last night to the next yard, and then a group of men worked in full swing.It was Mu Xiang who was thoughtful, and went to Wang Erpo's house to borrow a large teapot and a pile of bowls and chopsticks, and boiled them cold for the men.

It was approaching noon, and he said that he asked his little brother to help cook, but Chengfeng didn't even let him get up from the fire, but asked him to help him pick the vegetables he bought, and then gave him a basin to skim off the blood floating in the chicken soup Froth and grease, float up and skim off a little bit, just to prevent him from doing other tasks.

Several pots of chicken soup were boiled, and it was estimated that it was almost done. With the seasonings he bought at the pharmacy, Chengfeng made palace fried chicken with incomplete ingredients, white sliced ​​chicken, braised rabbit meat, stewed roe deer, and finally simply fried a few. Pots of lonely vegetables.

It is estimated that more than 20 men can sit at three tables. The younger brother's house has two tables, and the table at his house that is about to die can also make do with it, so that's fine.

The dishes are all served in pots, one table with five dishes and one soup.Stuffed rice with miscellaneous grains, put it on the side and eat it freely.Before Wang Yougui even entered the door, he could hear him yelling loudly what smells so good!

Considering that the more than 20 people are all men, Li Shi is uncomfortable and can’t go out to eat, and it’s not convenient for Mu Xiang, a single brother, to eat with them, so Chengfeng made another red boring rabbit for the little brother head.

Kung Pao Chicken, Boiled Chicken, Braised Rabbit Meat, Stewed Roe Deer and Green Vegetables were served on a separate plate, and there was a bowl of chicken soup for one person, and a small pot of rice with whole grains enough for their family of three.
