The Rebirth of 88 Begins with a Carpenter

Chapter 259 Happiness in the village, making money and building a house

The afternoon sun came in through the glass windows, and with the heating in the room, Wu Yuan leaned on the sofa and fell asleep unknowingly.

After taking a nap and waking up, the second apprentice Bao Jun had already left.

Only Lin Miaomiao was left upstairs to tidy up the room.

Wu Yuan got up and stretched himself, went out through the door on the kitchen side, entered the stove room, cleaned out the ashes from the bottom of the earth heating stove, and added some firewood by the way.

Hundreds of briquettes are piled up in the corner, but they are only used before going to bed.

After all, briquettes are more resistant to burning, and the furnace can be filled up before going to bed, and can be used until dawn.

Liu Hui still felt that it was a waste. After all, everyone was under the covers, so why waste those briquettes?
It's cold at night, so wrap the quilt tightly.

After finishing all this work, Lin Miaomiao came down from the stairs, wearing a pair of fitness pants and a sweater all over her body.

It looks very youthful and beautiful.

"Uncle, what shall we have for dinner, may I help you?"

Wu Yuan looked up, "Aren't you cold? Go back and wear more clothes."

"It's twenty degrees in the room, and I'm not cold. Uncle, I want to eat lamb and scorpion stewed cabbage, and I want to eat ground pot chicken..."

"Do you want to eat flat peaches? I'll go to the sky and pick them for you."

"Uncle~"

For the sake of the two golden gourds, Wu Yuan began to rummage around, and found a pack of sheep scorpions in the refrigerator. He looked back at his eldest niece and said, "You can have sheep scorpions stewed with cabbage, but the ground pot chicken is real." No."

Lin Miaomiao got up immediately and said, "The chickens are in the pigsty outside. There are several big roosters. When I came back, I saw them fighting. If I don't kill them and eat them, what a waste of food?"

Dare to be on the lookout for a long time.

Wu Yuan waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, kill whichever one you like, and cook it for me after it's finished."

Just eat it, anyway, you can't afford it.

"okay!"

Lin Miaomiao went happily.

Wu Yuan went back to the house and changed into a sweater, then started to get busy with his hands.

The main reason is that he also wants to eat the stewed cabbage at home.

As for stewing with cabbage, it doesn't matter, what you want is to eat cabbage and vermicelli.

Sheep and scorpions are supporting roles instead.

First put the sheep scorpion into the pot under cold water, add cooking wine and ginger, cover the pot, and add firewood to the hearth.

Wait for the water to boil.

At this time, there was a scream of a big rooster outside.

Wu Yuan went out of the small courtyard to take a look, okay, poor big rooster, he jumped and ran far away.

Blood was also scattered all the way.

Looking back, Lin Miaomiao's hands were all covered.

Wu Yuan was so scared that he grabbed hold of it and looked left and right: "Where is the injury?"

Lin Miaomiao came back to her senses: "But I don't feel pain. It must be chicken blood, right?"

Wu Yuan relaxed, let go of his hand angrily, walked a few steps quickly, and caught the big rooster back in his hand, which weighed five or six catties.

It should be killed.

Taking the kitchen knife from Lin Miaomiao's hand, aiming at the big rooster's neck, he raised the knife and dropped it.

Give big cock a good time.

Then he threw it to Lin Miaomiao and said, "Go boil the water and pluck the hair, you should know how to do that, right?"

Lin Miaomiao nodded hurriedly: "I will, I will."

Back in the kitchen, the sheep scorpion was almost blanched, Wu Yuan fished it out and put it in a basin for later use.

On the other side, Lin Miaomiao took the hot water from the earthen heater and poured the decapitated rooster thoroughly.

After pouring, stand by and do nothing.

Seeing this, Wu Yuan anxiously said: "Pluck the hair quickly, you can pull it while it's hot. When it's cold, you won't be able to pluck it."

So Lin Miaomiao began to squat down to pluck the chicken feathers, and while plucking, he had to prevent being burned.

But the smell wafted out, which made the big yellow dogs very anxious.

Wu Yuan thought she was slow in picking up, so he directly pulled the basin over, his hands were like ruthless iron hands, and within three to five minutes, the chicken feathers were wiped clean.

Then the cock was washed again, its belly was cut open with a knife, and half of the pot of chicken offal was poured out.

Reaching out to pick out the chicken heart, she handed over the rest to Lin Miaomiao and said, "Take it to the dog."

Lin Miaomiao pointed at the chicken and said, "Is this edible?"

"you wash?"

Lin Miaomiao backed away subconsciously. She had realized that some things were delicious and hard to make.

In the end, three dogs were cheaper.

While he was busy, his daughter-in-law Yang Luoyan came down from upstairs with the two children in her arms.

Only then did Wu Yuan realize that his mother-in-law, Liu Hui, was not at home: "Where's Mom? I've made two big dishes here, and I'm trying to make up for Mom."

Yang Luoyan said: "Mom has gone back to cook for Dad."

Wu Yuan said casually: "Call Dad to come over and eat together, there are two big pots."

Lin Miaomiao immediately said, "I'll make a call."

In the end, Yang Luoyan grabbed her and said: "Farewell, let the old couple reunite, so let's not bother."

sunset.

A pot of lamb scorpion stewed cabbage vermicelli, a pot of ground pot chicken, steaming.

Three people sat at the table with their two children.

The two children were so excited that they stretched their little hands into the pot.

Lin Miaomiao said happily, "Uncle, there won't be a power outage tonight, right? I want to take a hot bath."

Wu Yuan said casually, "If you're afraid of a power outage, go in with a bucket of hot water for preparation."

This is all ready-made experience.

Yang Luoyan echoed: "Burn more hot water, I want to wash too."

There is a lack of everything in the countryside, except firewood.

Except under the eaves of the stove house, thousands of catties of coal were piled up.There are also many broken and withered young trees gathered in front of and behind the house. The thickness of a fist cannot be used as wood, so they can only be sawed for firewood.

In addition, when building buildings in the past, the roots and tree sections sticking out of the front and back of the house were all firewood from the house.

After a meal, the belly was round and round, and half of the lamb scorpion and ground pot chicken were left.

Just like that, the three of them were full without even eating rice.

Wu Yuan took over the responsibility of taking care of the children, and asked his wife and Miao Miao to clean up the dining table and kitchen, and boil water for a bath.

As a result, at night, there were still people coming to the door.

Wu Yuan stretched out his head and saw that it was Ma Mingjun who came with his wife Zhang Yan, carrying things.

"Master, there are no good things for those who celebrate the New Year, so don't dislike them."

Wu Yuan looked at Shicheng's big apprentice and daughter-in-law and said, "I just got home today, and I don't know how to take a break. Are you two giving gifts for fear of falling behind?"

Ma Mingjun chuckled and said, "Master, Yan'er is already ready, I'm just in charge of running errands."

Zhang Yan continued: "Master, the second child's family will definitely send fish over this year, so I got you a leg of lamb. If it suits your taste, I'll find it for you."

"Enough is enough, it's not easy for the two of you to save some money, so don't spend it recklessly."

"Thanks to my master and my wife, I have saved a lot this year. If my father hadn't just left for a year, I would have wanted to start a house in the spring."

Being able to build a house means that I have really saved some money.

The apprentice is living a good life, and Wu Yuan is also happy.

Especially this big apprentice with a solid eye.

"If you can't afford a house, you can buy the bricks first."

The couple nodded.

Ma Mingjun continued: "Master, I saw Li Ergou. If Yan'er hadn't stopped me, I would have gone up and beat him up."

Wu Yuan stared: "He is a person with a criminal record, what are you doing with him? When you see him in the future, stay away. Someone in the village is watching him."
