Chapter 549 Place these people

Meng Yibao is the oldest person here, already 14 and a half years old.

But he has a very mature face and has been devastated by life, so he looks like a 20-year-old.

He doesn't like to talk, he is a silent person, but this is not the time for him to be silent, he glanced at the girls who were busy cooking, hesitated for a moment, and walked towards Gu Miao.

"Mrs. Meng, the kitchen is full."

The kitchen is not too small, but ten girls were squeezed in, and there was no room for him to set foot now.

Not only him, but all ten boys were standing.

As for the matter of cooking, they really couldn't find any hands-on work.

The firewood is chopped and piled up under the shed, just go get it directly.

Water is stored in the tank, a full tank, no need to carry water.

"Can some of us help Mr. Meng build the kang?" He said and gestured to his companions standing beside him.

As soon as these words came out, the remaining nine boys all looked at Gu Miao in unison. Yes, Gu Miao did not let them talk too much, but asking for work is not too much talking...

They can't stand still, can they?
"Go." Seeing this, Gu Miao pointed to the room where Meng Xizhou was.

It’s okay, I can take the initiative to find work to do it.

So Meng Yibao took the boys to help Meng Xizhou build the kang. Among these people, the youngest was only 11 years old, but the work was smooth and obedient. Meng Xizhou ordered and moved carefully.

With the help of these ten people, the two big kangs were quickly built. After they were built, firewood was lit for a while to remove the moisture, and they could lie down at night.

At this time, the girls also prepared lunch, a pot of millet rice, a pot of millet porridge, and a large pot of boiled wild vegetables.

Although Gu Miao said that the seasonings in the kitchen can be used casually, but the cooking girls dare not use the precious lard, they dare not stir-fry vegetables, just boil the wild vegetables and sprinkle some salt flowers.

Before, they didn't even dare to touch the millet and millet, they just wanted to bake some pancakes with sorghum flour, but Gu Miao reminded them specifically to cook more, because they had to work in the fields in the afternoon, if they couldn't eat enough How can I work hard.

After hearing Gu Miao's words, they dared to let go of their hands and feet, steamed a pot full of millet rice, and cooked millet porridge.

Although the food in front of them is vegetarian, it is better than what they ate before when they were in the hands of Mrs. Wang. In the hands of Mrs. Wang, regardless of gender, there is only one bun for each meal. Now there are good millet rice, millet porridge, and vegetables. They are very contented .

After lunch, Meng Defu came over, and Gu Miao asked Meng Defu to lead the twenty boys and girls to work in the fields.

Now the wheat seedlings need to be weeded and watered, and the millet has not been planted yet, which is the time when manpower is needed.

After these people went to the ground, Gu Miao and Meng Xizhou returned to Yun's house.

The others had already had their lunch, and there was food left in the pot for their young couple. While the two of them were eating, Jiang Xiu came over.

Jiang Xiu wanted to reprimand Gu Miao again.

Buying 90 people at once and spending [-] taels of silver, how much money Gu Miao has left now, how dare she be so generous!

Speaking of the savings in her hand, there is really not much left, but these expenses are necessary at present, and she did not waste it...

"Mother, go make jelly. We can save money by making more jelly." Gu Miao asked Jiang Xiu to find work to do, trying to divert Jiang Xiu's attention.
