Chapter 255 Duplicity
Early the next morning, Zhou Zhijie brought members of the Zhou family to work.

The bricks and tiles sent by neighboring villages were all piled up in front of Yeran's house. There was a distance to move the bricks and tiles from her house to the new house in Houpo.

Yeran's house didn't have enough dustpans and baskets, so Zhou Zhijie asked them to go to work, and they all brought their own. Before going to work, they went back and forth to pick up a few loads of bricks to go to the new house.

The medicine that Yeran picked from the mountain yesterday afternoon was scorched and sun-dried, and she was busy getting those herbs in the yard.

Zhou Zhijie hurried over with an empty load: "Raniang, the number of bricks is wrong."

Before Zhou Zhijie and the others went to work on the new house every day, they went back and forth several times to pick up the green bricks.

After so many trips, there are enough bricks to build the wall in one day.

She remembered that the bricks were almost finished last night, there were not a few green bricks left on the construction site, how could the number be wrong?

Ye Ran straightened up: "Brother Zhijie, are you missing something?"

"No, there are not many left in front of the new house. There was a dustpan of gray bricks under the wall that hadn't been laid yesterday. I went there early this morning and it was gone."

Zhou Zhijie vowed: "Ranniang, when my house was built, I would throw away bricks and tiles from time to time. These blue bricks cost a penny and a piece. Young master, keep an eye on it at night."

Last night, Ran told Zhou Zhijie that he had lost a tile. It was Hu Crepe, trying to smooth things over for himself.

Unexpectedly, after one night, I really lost a dustpan brick.

"It can come out in the dark at night, and you women can't get involved in this matter. Forget it, I'll talk to Mr. Yin later, so that he can keep an eye on it."

Seeing that Yeran was busy, Zhou Zhijie packed a load of bricks and left with a dustpan.

Last night, it was Yin Tian who accompanied Xing'er into the mountain to look for her, and no one was guarding the back slope, so people went there in the dark and took the dustpan bricks away.

Someone even stole the bricks, although Yeran was angry, but he knew that Yin Tian was there at night, and the sneaky ones would not be happy if they came again.

Therefore, he didn't take this matter too seriously, and continued to serve her medicinal materials.

The autumn sun is as fierce as a tiger, and when it is dark, the herbs are dried out.

When Mrs. Wu was busy making pancakes, Yeran used a roller to grind those herbs into powder.

"Ran Niang, this chicken is stewed in a clay pot."

As soon as she finished her work, Aunt Wu called her: "Come and see, what ingredients do you want to add to this pheasant soup?"

After the ban on mountains was lifted, gangs from the village went hunting in the mountains. Zhou Zecheng got a few pheasants.

The pork sent by the butcher Wu was cooked at noon, so the pheasant was left to cook at night.

The medicinal soup stewed by Yeran is delicious and nourishing to the body. Every time the soup is stewed, it is Aunt Wu who chops the meat and puts it in the pot. When half of the cooking is done, Yeran puts medicinal materials in it.

Autumn is the time for tonic. Yeran put some seasonings in the soup, added some angelica, wolfberry and other medicinal materials, and stewed for a while, the aroma came out.

Yin Tian, ​​who had just washed off his body in the cave, could already smell the fragrance of the kitchen as soon as he stepped into the main room.

When the food was served on the table, Yin Tian could see clearly the herbs in the chicken soup, and Yin Tian glanced at Yeran who was chewing pancakes.

A duplicity woman!
He talked about it several times a day, saying that he was going to go to Xiaoze Town to find shopkeeper Lin, but the pheasant was filled with medicinal herbs for heart palpitations.
