Chapter 23 Building a Tile House
In the kitchen, Liu Qingcao quickly beat out the eggs and noodles and put them aside. The potato ribs were also cleaned, and Liu Jiangbei emptied the kiln to heat it up.

As soon as the temperature of the kiln rises, Liu Qingcao puts the chicken cake inside and bakes it.

Liu Qingcao took out half a bowl of rice, put the rice in a hot pot and fried it until it was cooked, then handed it to Liu Jiangbei who was beside him, and asked him to crush it into small particles with a stone pestle.

I cooked the pork belly to cool, then marinated and colored it.

For today's meal, Liu Qingcao will cook a new dish of tamales.

In the kitchen, Liu Qingcao fried the vegetables, and Liu Jiangbei also brought the chicken cakes from the kiln to the table.

"Sister, I want to eat chicken cakes first." Liu Jiangbei looked at the roasted pork ribs with potatoes and tamales on the table, feeling tangled in his heart.

"Let's eat first, and I'll bring you a big one for Uncle Niu, so that he can taste it too." Liu Qingcao was still steaming rice in the kitchen, and the rice was not ready yet, so it's okay to eat chicken cakes to fill his stomach first.

Liu Qingcao added a handful of firewood to the stove, washed the handles, picked up the egg cake on the table, and ate it contentedly.

While eating, she thought, it's great that she came to this era, she has a lot of opportunities to make money for herself, if she travels to the future, hey, I'm afraid she will be eliminated directly...

In this way, she considers herself lucky.

After the chicken cake was finished, the steamed rice in the pot was ready, Liu Qingcao added three bowls of rice, brought it to the table, and called the old man Niu to come over for dinner.

She is still very satisfied with Old Man Niu, except for his eyes that are as deep as a black pool, which makes people feel palpitations, there is nothing wrong with him.

The old man Niu was diligent and seldom talked, so far he had not done anything to hurt her. Liu Qingcao chatted with him from time to time, but he never relaxed his vigilance.

Everyone said that you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must not have the intention to guard against others. Liu Qingcao herself is not a fool, and she still understands this truth.

"Uncle Niu, try this steamed pork. It's my new creation. It's fat but not greasy. You can eat several pieces in Jiangbei."

Liu Qingcao picked up two large pieces of meat with her chopsticks and put them into the old man's bowl, and said with a smile.

When Liu Jiangbei saw him, he stretched out his hand to pick up a piece and put it in his mouth without waiting for his sister to pinch it for him.

"Well... it smells so good!"

The sliced ​​meat was too big, Liu Jiangbei's mouth was full of oil, and he kept saying how delicious it was.

Liu Qingcao thought it was cute, but her oily mouth was really ugly, so she took out the handkerchief and handed it over.

Liu Jiangbei quickly took it, wiped his mouth, grinned, showing his teeth, and smiled at Liu Qingcao.

"Eat quickly, eat and rest."

Liu Qingcao didn't say much, during this period of time, several people have not been free, but fortunately, the food is not bad, and the body can bear it.

After tomorrow, Liu Qingcao is planning to build a house. The bricks and tiles have been burned out, and she can rest assured that it will be built as soon as possible.

Two days ago, she found that more and more people appeared near her house, especially near the seedling field...

She estimated that in a few days, the village head might come over here for a walk.

"Jiangbei, my sister went to town, wake up later and remember to eat, it's hot in the pot."

Liu Qingcao shook Liu Jiangbei who was sleeping soundly, saw him turn around with sleepy eyes, nodded, then Liu Qingcao pulled through the door and followed the old man to the town.

As soon as Liu Qingcao arrived, she went to Baihui Building and sent the stewed vegetables in. The business of Baihui Building was still very good, and the shop assistants were all busy. Liu Qingcao didn't stay long, turned around and went out, and went to the end of the street to find the craftsman Liu Kaifu , agreed to build a house for myself tomorrow.

Liu Kaifu's subordinates, since they left last time, have been looking forward to Liu Qingcao's visit again. Seeing them now, all of them are very excited, like a hungry chatter seeing braised pork, wishing they would have eyes on her.

"Uncle Liu, I still need to build a room and thatched shed. Are you free these days?"

"I'm free, I don't have any work these days."

"All right, I have prepared bricks and tiles here, and I have not prepared anything else, so I will leave it to you."

Liu Qingcao spoke out her needs, and Liu Kaifu said without hesitation: "Okay, I'll prepare today and come over tomorrow morning."

Liu Qingcao nodded, continued to chat for a few words, and left the end of the street. The craftsmen would come to work tomorrow, so she had to buy more things to go back.

As the old saying goes, no one can offend a craftsman if he offends anyone. This is not groundless.

After shopping around in the street, everything that should be bought has been bought, and Liu Qingcao did not stay. In the past few days, she felt that the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and wearing a straw hat could not relieve the heat in the air.

Tonight, she will cook more mung bean soup and chill it first. The weather will be hot tomorrow, and the artisans will come, and there will be something to cool off the heat.

Back home, Liu Qingcao arranged for Liu Jiangbei to go do some activities with the old man Niu, while she put away the things she bought.

The delivery of pig offal is very stable now, keeping at three pairs a day. In this way, Liu Qingcao has been washing and scrubbing pig offal for a long time, and she will not supply any more.

Sitting in the house, Liu Qingcao looked at the busy ones and ones outside the yard, and the picture was harmonious and beautiful.

During the time that the old man Niu was helping here, Liu Qingcao didn't find anything unusual, and most of his heart was relieved.

After lunch, the three of Liu Qingcao worked together to clean up the land outside the yard so that Liu Kaifu and his group could come to work tomorrow.

In the evening, Liu Qingcao sat alone in the kitchen, stewing stewed pork and mung bean soup. She didn't finish washing and rest until it was dark.

She slept a little late last night, but it didn't delay her getting up early.

It would take some time to cook porridge for breakfast for a dozen people, not to mention that she had to cook a dozen eggs and a big pot of cold salad.

After breakfast was ready, Liu Kaifu and his party began to arrive at Liuqingcao yard one after another.

Seeing that everyone was coming, Liu Qingcao wiped her hands on her apron and brought out the breakfast.

"Uncle Liu, come and have breakfast."

Liu Qingcao greeted happily, Liu Kaifu and his party looked at me and I looked at you, and walked into the yard with a smile.

Eggs, thick porridge, and a pot of food were placed on the table, making Liu Kaifu and the others swallow their saliva. A few thin-skinned men felt a little embarrassed when they thought about it. flush.

Liu Kaifu looked at the group of people, smiled, and without further delay, said directly: "Eat, and work after eating."

Only then did a group of men pick up their chopsticks and start moving. Liu Qingcao smiled as she looked at the group of uncles who were working hard outside.

How simple and kind they are!

Breakfast was eaten very fast. Liu Kaifu and his group were fast, but they were not rude, and they also saved food. The table was clean, there was no dropped food, and the eggs did not move.

Liu Qingcao thought, it should be because they thought it was good to just eat. Eggs are expensive, so they were still a bit reluctant. Liu Qingcao saw that everyone went to work, thinking that the workers' stomachs were almost full, so she didn't say any more What, turned around and picked up the bowls and chopsticks on the table, and went to the kitchen.

Liu Qingcao had cleared out the open space beside the firewood house long ago, and Liu Kaifu and his group did not do much work, but quickly dug the foundation and rammed the earth.

On the way, Liu Qingcao brought out cold mung bean soup for the craftsmen. Liu Kaifu and his group drank the mung bean soup, squinted their eyes, and praised Liu Qingcao for being careful and good at cooking.

Liu Qingcao was happy to be praised, and in a good mood, she wanted to give them extra meals.

In the kitchen, Liu Qingcao peeled the eggs from the morning, cut them into circles with a knife, deep-fried them in the pan, picked them up, and finally fried the chopped peppers with the eggs. .

After four dishes and one soup were served one after another, Liu Qingcao took off her apron and greeted people for dinner.

On the table, chilli eggs, stewed pork, braised fish, sweet and sour eggplant, tube bone lotus root soup, one after another, the aroma of oil floated into the mouths and noses of everyone in the yard intermittently.

"Uncle Liu, it's time for lunch, Jiangbei, Uncle Niu, don't mess with it, the food is ready." Liu Qingcao yelled at Liu Kaifu and the others, then changed direction, and yelled at the two people outside the yard.
