Chapter 133: Happiness is not the same

There is no accommodation, food and drink are provided, and there is money to be paid.

This is why Yun Huachun attracted many men when he shouted.

Even if they go to the city to work for wealthy families, they will not be given food.

There is no concept of working meals in Dajin.

Even if you are an official in the palace, you will only eat when your Majesty stays with you. This is considered a reward from Your Majesty.

If His Majesty is in a bad mood, or if His Majesty's ministers are angry, they simply refuse to reward him with food.

Not to mention the common people who go out to work, they have to bring some rough cornbread and carry it in their arms.

Take a bite when you are hungry, and drink from someone else's well water when you are thirsty.

Yun Huachun didn't think much about it. He just felt that the reclamation land was a bit far away, and it would be troublesome even if he walked around and went home to eat.

What's more, if so many men come to eat at his house, his house doesn't have that much space.

So he asked people in the village to build some stoves and sheds, and also invited a few women who knew how to cook.

A group of people were working enthusiastically, and because it was strenuous work, it was not yet noon, and their stomachs were growling.

He paused what he was doing and looked up at the shed.

There is white smoke coming out, the rice must be ready!

The men were extremely hungry, but they still thought about eating and were still energetic.

When the woman in the shed shouted, dinner was ready.

Each one looked like a beast that had been trapped in a cage for several days, swarming up.

"Don't crowd, line up one by one!" said the woman holding the spoon.

The woman was quite old and had been at home disciplining her children and grandchildren all year round, so her fierce face was quite intimidating.

The men who came first consciously formed a line, and those who came later stood obediently at the back.

There were two stoves and two pots in a shed, and a tall steamer was placed on top of one, so it was unclear what was being steamed.

The other pot was covered with a wooden lid, and a large amount of white water vapor poured out.

The woman in charge of the pot opened the lid, and the person standing in front took a sharp look.

The inside of the pot was white, as if some tofu soup had been cooked.

"Two steamed buns and a bowl of soup per person," the woman said.

He opened the steamer next to him, took out the still-heated pancakes, and placed them in front of the board.

I took another spoonful of the tofu and cabbage soup from the pot.

The man saw this and went to get it, but the woman blocked it with a spoon.

"Oh, wait a minute," the woman shouted.

He also took out a black clay pot from the side. As soon as the clay pot was opened, the aroma of the contents overflowed.

She took a ladleful of the contents of the jar and sprinkled it on top of the soup.

The sauce-colored particles and the glistening sauce instantly sublime the whole bowl of soup.

"Okay, you can take it away."

The people behind looked at it and their eyes widened. What is this? Meat?

Everyone is looking forward to it and can't wait to eat it in their mouths right away.

Holding the bowls, everyone went to eat under the shed nearby.

The fresh aroma and distinctive taste that filled their mouths made them feel a little familiar and yet a little strange.

"Oh, I ate it, it was octopus, and the meat inside is octopus." A man said happily.

He also eats octopus at home, and when he's hungry for meat, he goes to the beach to get some of it.

But it was completely different from what he was eating now.

When they go home, they boil it in water, and add oil to it. It is indeed different when fried with oil!

Shi Cheng and the woman holding the spoon in front of him were neighbors, and he was also very curious.

"Grandma Fourth, what's in this jar?" When it was Shi Cheng's turn, he leaned over and asked affectionately.

The woman glanced at him, scooped out a spoonful and sprinkled it on top.

"It's bad!" said the woman.

This is what Lady Yun taught her to make. She said that if she pours it on soup and rice, the food will be more fragrant. Lady Yun also told her the name of the sauerkraut.

She made it by herself, and she knew the ingredients very well. She added some salty diced radish, dried beans, lard, and fish caught on the beach.

The sauce was given to her by Mrs. Yun, saying it was made at home.

Wan Hongmei called out a random name, but it turned out to be fried squid cubes with green onions.

Such a good thing, but Madam Yun and her family gave it to these outsiders.

It made her feel envious.

But even if she is envious, she will not ask her children and grandchildren to come over to work.

Her grandson knew how to make candies, and he went to the sugar house in the city to make candies for the officials.

Making sugar is more promising than cultivating land, and this skill can be passed down from generation to generation.

"What is Sangzi?" Shi Cheng asked curiously.

When he came to Nantong City, he saw many novel things.

Farmers just need to eat enough to keep themselves satisfied, and they don't have so many requirements on the taste and variety of food.

"You can just eat Mrs. Yun's food." The woman didn't say much. In her opinion, it was a secret recipe and could not be passed on to others.

When Shi Cheng heard that it was Mrs. Yun's house, he was very happy. He took the bowl and found an open space to eat it.

The moment he took it into his mouth, Shi Cheng's spirits were lifted. It was indeed delicious!

At this moment, many outsiders are rejoicing that they are lucky.

When I meet such a nice host, he gives me money and food, and there is meat in the food.

On his way home after work, a man immediately sighed to the people in the village.

"Today I ate the meat cubes on the soup, and I realized that there is such a delicious thing in the world." The man sighed.

The man walking with him chuckled.

"I arrived late today to get my meal. When the woman who was cooking saw that there was no one behind her, she gave me the two meat bones left in the pot!"

Meaty bones?

What meat bones? Aren't they the meat cubes scooped out of the jar?

The man who had eaten the meat and bones looked at the blank look on his fellow countryman's face and felt even more delighted.

If we go later tomorrow, we might be able to get two meaty bones.

Human joy is not the same.

After cultivating the wasteland for a few days, everyone discovered something important.

The dishes in each shed are different!

Some are meat bones, some are meat cubes, and some have fat added to them!

There are also differences between meat bones, some are pork bones, and some are chicken and duck bones.

Because the cooking sheds were far apart, they only picked the ones closest to them at first, but didn't notice anything wrong.

Now that I know the secret, I don’t have to worry when it’s time to eat.

First run over and ask what is being eaten in the shed here.

This one had meat cubes, and this one had bone soup.

What?

Is there crab soup today?

Everyone exchanged information, selected their favorite side dishes, and then went to line up in front of the stove to cook.

Although there was only one dish, and most of the meat was leftover pork bones and various seafood, it was enough to keep them happy for the whole day.

After eating, rest for a while, and then be able to work all afternoon.

Yun Huachun didn't know that his farm was so busy, so he just found some vegetable farmers in the city and asked him to deliver vegetables every day.

I also brought some inexpensive seafood caught from the beach and made some side dishes with some oil and water.

People who work will have no energy if there is no oil and water in their stomachs.

Yun Huachun took his wife and daughter to visit Nantong City.
Chapter completed!
