Chapter 59 A Big Dinner
Chapter 59 A sumptuous dinner
With the help of Mrs. Li, Xiao Lan quickly processed and cut the four fish and three pheasants into pieces, washed the mushrooms, picked them and cut them into small pieces.
Stir the onion and garlic into the pot, add soy sauce and vinegar and stir-fry. Then put the fish pieces into the big pot and add salt. This smell makes everyone who built the house take a deep breath in greed, "This smell is so fragrant." .”
Before the fish soup is ready, the delicious smell is wafting in the small courtyard.
Xiao Lan and Sister-in-law Li fried the pheasant pieces first, then added the sauce and stir-fried, then poured in water, simmered, and finally added mushrooms and covered the pot.
After the two finished their work, they started making meat buns again. Aunt Li looked at the house that was about to be completed and felt envious, "I also want to build the house again. This house looks really strong and keeps warm in winter."
"Then let's build it while it's not cold yet. Build a house as big as me. I'll prepare the stones for you."
"How many stones do I need? I need to build at least two rooms in my house."
"Two rooms are not enough. The house we live in needs three rooms, one for you, one for Erni, and Dalin needs a separate room, one for bathing and one for cooking."
Xiao Lan's house consists of one room for living, one for bathing, one for cooking, two large rooms and one small room.
Now that Zai Zai is still young, there is no need to sleep in separate rooms. When he grows up, he may not live here anymore, so Xiao Lan made a bedroom.
"I can't afford to take care of so many people eating. How can I take care of them eating so many meat buns today?" Aunt Li was a little depressed, as she had meat buns for three meals a day.
"Well, then you bring back three roe deer, three badgers, and three pheasants. You can take care of the food for three days, and then the house will be up! I will help you and cook." Xiao Lan said with a smile.
This seems easy to her. Besides playing with Zai Zai, she doesn't need to clock in and do tasks every day. It's also very simple to help Aunt Li cook.
"How can that be done? Then wouldn't I be a freeloader?"
"Zai Zai and I have been feeding you for several years, what does this mean?" Xiao Lan laughed.
"How can you be so careless? Why don't you feel distressed to death when you want someone else? Why don't you give me three of each and I'll buy them with my money! I'm a rich man!"
Xiao Lan sold the white tiger to Sister-in-law Li for five hundred silver, which was a huge sum of money. Now she has to take a look at it every day when she goes to bed, which makes her worried all day long and makes her unable to sleep well.
"Look, you gave me so much money that I even have dark circles under my eyes!" Sister-in-law Li said in a low voice, "How about you take the money? After all, I can't spend it, I need to spend it. I’ll come find you again to get it!”
She saw that Xiao Lan's strength was unmatched by several big men in the village, so it made her feel more at ease to leave it to Xiao Lan.
"Okay, take it back when you have time, I'll keep it for you, and you can keep some for later use." Xiao Lan thought to herself, Sister-in-law Li took it and put it in a space for her, and put it in a separate room. There will be more and more, and when the time comes, it will be more interesting to take them out to scare her.
"Hurry up and make the meat buns. It's getting dark soon. Dalin should be back soon." Sister-in-law Li is very satisfied with her children. Dalin is a promising man. His masters praise him for his careful carpentry and craftsmanship. She has made progress, which makes her face feel brighter.
"Well, let's order a carriage from Master Dalin when we have time?" Xiao Lan thought that she wanted to buy a carriage before, and there was a ready-made carpenter, so she didn't need to find someone else.
"What? A carriage? That set of carriages costs a lot of money, plus a horse is not more than a hundred taels of silver!" Sister-in-law Li covered her mouth, Xiao Lan had to spend money again, Dalin had told him before,
She thought Xiao Lan had forgotten it!
"I plan to spend two hundred taels to decorate a more comfortable carriage. We may go to Furong Town often in the future." Xiao Lan feels that the carriage will be used frequently in the future, and Zai Zai will be with her. The comfort of the carriage is
The first thing that should be paid attention to.
"Why do you have to go to Furong Town so often?"
"Because I promised the old village chief that I would lead the whole village to strive for a better life." Xiao Lan said casually, which made Sister Li almost choke on her saliva.
"Ahem! What? Leading the whole village to become well-off? You have only had enough to eat for a few days, and you are starting to swell? No, I have to go to the old village chief. I can't agree to this." Aunt Li became anxious.
This is how to do?
She thought Xiao Lan was cured, but now she seems to be even crazier!
"Don't worry, I can do it, I have a way, but the carriage problem must be solved!" Xiao Lan thought while making meat buns.
"Buying a carriage can lead the villagers to a well-off life? You have to tell me how first. I think it will be okay before you can buy a carriage. Otherwise, you will make such a small amount of money and you will not be able to support your lavish spending.
Money!" Mrs. Li said firmly.
"Okay, Sister-in-law Li, let me tell you first! Look, can the meat we eat now be sold for money?"
"right."
"Where are these mushrooms?"
"Where's the fungus?"
"You can sell it for money!"
"Yes, this is the way to make money I said!"
"You want to take the villagers into the mountains?"
"Yeah, is there a problem?"
"Of course there is a problem!"
"What's the problem?" Xiao Lan was puzzled.
"Of course it's a safety issue. They are not like you. They are so powerful that even wild boars are no match for you!"
"People in the village have always only farmed. There is no hunter, because there are many dangers in the mountains! Can you guarantee that they will not be injured or lose their lives when they go to the mountains?"
"sure!"
"How can you protect dozens of people by yourself?"
"I will not only protect them by myself, I will teach them how to protect themselves and their families." Xiao Lan said that she can teach the villagers fighting skills, teach them how to hunt, and teach them to identify herbs.
She would not give what she caught to the villagers, as this would easily breed inertia.
If you want to survive better, you must learn to protect yourself and feed yourself.
Xiao Lan can definitely train a team of elite soldiers with strong combat capabilities, which can better protect his family.
Lijia Village was her first place to stay in this world. Most of the people in the village were kind and simple. She was willing to take the people in the village to develop together so that they would be strong so that they could survive in the troubled times in the future.
Once a war breaks out, the first problem the villagers face is to leave their homeland and find a habitat more suitable for survival.
"Is it really possible? Are you sure you can help people in the village make money?" Sister-in-law Li thinks this is a huge problem. Although Xiao Lan is doing better and better now, she still thinks Xiao Lan can't bear such a heavy burden.
"Okay, I won't do anything I'm not sure about." Xiao Lan said firmly. Looking at Xiao Lan's thin figure, Sister-in-law Li couldn't help but sigh.
"It's really okay, don't worry." Xiao Lan had a confident smile on her face, and Sister-in-law Li suddenly felt that her worries were a bit inexplicable.
Whatever Xiao Lan thinks, she will naturally support it, isn't it her?
Seeing that Sister-in-law Li seemed to have figured it out, Xiao Lan breathed a sigh of relief. Sister-in-law Li was really doing it for her own good. She knew that, but the two of them were not from the same world, and their ideas would always be different.
In the future, if Mrs. Li is allowed to see her performance, she will not worry. Now that Mrs. Li is one of the most important people who influence her, Xiao Lan has to take into account Mrs. Li's feelings. Mrs. Li has figured it out and it is best, and the facts will
Prove it to her.
Soon the fish soup was ready, as was the pheasant and mushroom soup. Xiao Lan and Sister-in-law Li put these two dishes in bamboo tubes for everyone to take home to eat. As soon as the meat buns came out of the pot, they were assigned to everyone.
amount.
Fifteen people were surprised to find that they had a share of today's fish soup and chicken soup. After thanking each other, they rushed home with the food. Sharing it with their families was the first thing they thought about now.
