Chapter 11 Preparation
"This is our residence?" Ye Fusheng asked in disbelief.

Seeing Mu Xianer nodding affirmatively, Ye Fusheng was speechless. Is this a tent?It was just propped up with a few broken sticks and covered with a rainproof cloth. It was about six or seven meters in size.

Ye Fusheng remembered an episode of Journey to the West, in which Zhu Bajie stole watermelon. The old man's tent was similar to his own now, except that he used straw instead of rainproof cloth.

"Brother Fusheng, although it's a little leaky, it doesn't leak fish and can block the wind. It's just that it's a bit cold in spring, so you might wake up from the cold when you sleep." Mu Xian'er said.

Ye Fusheng nodded and looked outside the tent. The ground was still a field, and the ridges and ditches were still obvious. There was a big pot next to the tent, and there were many weapons for martial arts on a wooden stand.

There are many wooden stakes, stone locks, spears, and knives.

"Brother Fusheng, you don't have to carry me on your back, just put me down," Mu Xian'er said.

"Then be careful. I'll find a bench for you." Ye Fusheng lowered his body and waited for Mu Xian'er to stand firm before walking into the tent.

"Fuck!" Ye Fusheng looked inside the tent and cursed. There was no bench inside, not to mention a bed made of wood. There was a pile of weeds on the ground and a pair of quilts on top.

There were a few pairs of bowls and chopsticks in the corner of the tent, three or four small porcelain basins, a kitchen knife, and just... nothing!Ye Fusheng stepped forward and looked at the bed. He saw that it was built by two girls.

I sat on it and tried it. Not to mention, it was very stable. I opened the quilt and found that it was a door panel with several wooden pillars underneath. This must be where I slept?

Putting his eyes on the ground, there was a set of quilts on the not-so-thick weeds. Ye Fusheng opened it and looked under the weeds. The ground was still very wet. These two silly girls!It seems that building a house is imminent!
But the money is a little hard to come by!One bear, not counting its bile and fur, was sold for 600 yuan. Even if ten were caught, it would not be enough to build half a house. It seemed that the only option was to prepare a barbecue restaurant.

"Brother Fusheng, what are you looking at?" Mu Xian'er tilted her head and looked into the tent, asking with some confusion.

"Haha, let me see if there are any thieves." Ye Fusheng said casually.

"No one will come. How can we have anything valuable? And with so many people coming and going, no one will dare to steal anything." Mu Xianer said with a smile.

"Xian'er, when does the market start and end?" Ye Fusheng asked.

"It's open from morning to night, and it will be over at about nine o'clock." Mu Xian'er replied.

This time is a good time. You must have barbecue in the evening. The barbecue starts at four or five o'clock and ends at nine o'clock. If you can get some cold beer, it will definitely become more popular. Ye Fusheng frowned, the conditions are not good!
"Hanhan, come here, let me pick off the pork for you." Ye Fusheng shouted with a smile, this silly dog ​​was still carrying a pig leg.

Grandpa always said that hounds are very lovable, but now it seems to be true. These two hounds seem to have spirituality and can easily communicate with hunters.

"Hanhan, let's go play." Ye Fusheng waved his hand and walked slowly to the big iron pot. The guy eating was just sitting there in the open. Fortunately, there was a big lid.

There is no electricity or water in this damn place. Where can I get water for cooking?Ye Fusheng looked at the two wooden barrels next to him, which contained half a barrel of water. There was also a wooden stand next to the big pot with oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar on it.

Let's cook first. The ribs were taken away by Wu Hongxiu, so we can only make bear paws first. This one weighs about three kilograms with the blind man's forepaw. It must be scalded with hot water first so that the hair and skin can be removed.

Pour half a bucket of water into the pot, Ye Fusheng put in the firewood and lit it.

"Brother Fusheng, what are you doing?" Mu Xian'er limped out of the tent and asked doubtfully.

"We're cooking, where can we get water?" Ye Fusheng chuckled.

"Cooking? You...?" Mu Xian'er said loudly and unbelievably.

"What's wrong with me? What's your expression? I can't cook?" Ye Fusheng said with a smile.

"No, no, you don't know where our kitchen is. How can you cook? Even if you can, it won't work. You are a young master, how can you cook." Mu Xian'er shook his head.

"What a young master! We are all a family. If you don't talk about this, just talk about where to get water." Ye Fusheng touched Mu Xian'er's hair and said.

"It's at the neighbor's house. I'm going to fetch water." Mu Xianer picked up the bucket and left.

"What's wrong with your feet? Just stay calm for a while." Ye Fusheng grabbed the barrel and placed it on the ground. He picked up Mu Xian'er and walked into the tent, placing her gently on the bed.

The neighbor's small wall was more than one meter high. Ye Fusheng turned over and walked in. There was a big yellow wolf dog in the yard. It looked at Ye Fusheng with its tongue hanging out, but it didn't bite. It was obvious that it recognized him.

This is all powered on, so why are rolling bearings used to fetch water?Electric wells should be used to connect electricity. You can see the bottom of this small well at a glance. It belongs to the uppermost layer of groundwater. All dirt will slowly seep along the earth. The first layer of well water is the dirtiest.

Carrying two buckets of water, Ye Fusheng crossed the wall as fast as flying. This body is really wonderful, as light as a swallow, strong and strong.

"Brother Fusheng, why are you still going to fetch water? I can do this kind of work." Wu Hongxiu hurriedly stepped forward to take the bucket.

"What are you doing? Do you really think I'm a spoiled young master?" Ye Fusheng said angrily.

"You are a husband. How can your husband make a fire and cook at home?" Wu Hongxiu shouted.

"What a fuss, do we still have a pot at home? A smaller one will do," Ye Fusheng said, changing the subject.

"There is indeed one, but there is a small hole in the pot. I use it for cooking." Wu Hongxiu replied.

"That's just right. One pot will cook the rice first, then braise the bear's paws, and the other pot will stew the ribs. I'll boil the ribs in hot water and carry them all the way. Bacteria may breed." Ye Fusheng said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll do it. Brother Fusheng, you go back to the house and rest." Wu Hongxiu said. "Bear paws are difficult to make. I'll remove the hair and peel the skin first while passing the ribs through the water. You cook the rice first, then stew the ribs. I'll braise bear paws in a big pot." Ye Fusheng assigned Wu Hongxiu directly. Task.

The bear paws were meaty and looked delicious. Half an hour later, the bear paws and ribs were cooked, and not many ingredients were added. The family was really poor and in short supply of supplies!
"Let's go to the grocery store first. I want to buy an oven." Ye Fusheng said to Wu Hongxiu.

"Are you going now?" Wu Hongxiu asked doubtfully.

"Yeah, Xian'er, look after the house. If anything happens, just call the two dogs. From now on, you should also take the hounds with you when you go out. Safety first." Ye Fusheng said with a smile.

The sky was dark, Wu Hongxiu took Ye Fusheng to the grocery store. The journey was very lively, especially when passing by the market, with all kinds of hawking sounds. This street should have been specially planned.

The width between the two rows of houses is more than ten meters wide. Not only can stalls be set up in front of the two rows of houses, but there is also a stall in the middle of the road. It is very lively, but the lighting is not good.

The street lights are not very bright, nor can they be called street lights. There are light bulbs hanging in front of every shop, and the stalls are filled with oil lamps lit by the stall owners themselves. They are not very bright, but they have a unique flavor.

Why!It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a bustling scene. It reminds me of the New Year fairs I used to attend when I was a kid. There were no high-rise buildings, but everyone was smiling and laughing.

After crossing three streets, Wu Hongxiu pointed to a farmyard and said, "This is the grocery store and repair shop. You can buy ironware and daily necessities here."

Ye Fusheng walked in through the door. This big house is really not small, and it has all kinds of things, especially many farm tools. This boss is definitely a talent.

"Hey, you're such a rare visitor! You're not practicing martial arts at home, why did you come to my place?" A middle-aged fat man asked in surprise.

"What are you going to do in the grocery store? To buy things, of course." Ye Fusheng curled his lips and said.

"You're still so annoying and tough in your words," said the fat middle-aged man.

"Uncle Sun Dafa, we're here to ask if you know how to grill?" Wu Hongxiu said hurriedly.

"Barbecue box? No one has ever done this. Do you have any requirements?" Sun Dafa asked.

"It's two meters long, 25 centimeters wide, and [-] centimeters high. It's [-] centimeters high and has a layer of iron plate with holes to allow carbon ash to leak out." Ye Fusheng said.

"This is not difficult, but what about the price? I heard that Mr. Ye Fusheng, you..." Sun Dafa said calmly.

"Just tell me how much it is, how come there is so much nonsense?" Ye Fusheng said angrily.

"The iron sheet doesn't cost much, I'll give you five yuan, and the craftsmanship will cost you ten yuan." Sun Dafa stretched out his hand, indicating to take the money.

Looking down on others, this bastard dragged him as hard as 30 to [-] yuan, but he had no choice but to take out a [-] yuan cloud coin and slap it on Sun Dafa's hand.

"Okay, do you want two? I'll pick them up tomorrow at noon." Sun Dafa said happily.

"Okay, I'll pick it up tomorrow." After Ye Fusheng said that, he turned around and left. He originally wanted to buy some bottles and cans, but now it seems that he doesn't need them anymore.

"What else should I buy?" Wu Hongxiu asked, tilting her head.

"Bottles and jars, chili cumin, charcoal and bamboo sticks." Ye Fusheng said.

"Then let's buy charcoal first, and the rest can be bought in one place." Wu Hongxiu said softly.

"It's really weird. There is a shop that sells charcoal?" Ye Fusheng sighed.

"Brother Fusheng, this is because you have too little knowledge. Charcoal is very profitable in winter." Wu Hongxiu retorted.

"Okay, you're the smartest, right? Let's see what the price is." Ye Fusheng said with a smile.

"Boss? Buy charcoal." Wu Hongxiu shouted crisply.

"I'm here. One dollar and twenty pounds, how much do you want?" A man bent over, not knowing what he was doing.

"It costs two yuan." Ye Fusheng also got straight to the point, took out two yuan and handed it over.

"The bag at the door, a small bag weighs twenty pounds, take it yourself." The boss said.

Ye Fusheng looked at the bags and found that they had already been weighed. He lifted the two bags and weighed them. They found that they were about the same weight.

"Brother Fusheng, did you buy so much charcoal? We don't even have room to put it in our small tent. I'm going to sleep on the street at night." Wu Hongxiu chuckled.

"Don't you think of a way to make money? Does our Ye family have any means of transportation? For example, bicycles? Or war horses?" Ye Fusheng asked.

"There are bicycles and horses, but what kind of horse is a war horse?" Wu Hongxiu asked confused.

"It can carry people. Ordinary plowing horses cannot carry people." Ye Fusheng explained.

"Oh, you just said you can ride it, don't you think it's over? Come around, our Ye family has four big horses, they are all used for farming, and they seem to be able to ride them at ordinary times." Wu Hongxiu said uncertainly.
