Chapter Sixteen, Finalizing the House
Jiang Dingzhong's moves very quickly
After a few strokes, a rabbit was dealt with. Obviously, it was a lot of things like this before.
After Jiang Dingzhong came in, he said to him, "You keep this rabbit skin, you can use it in winter."
Jiang Xiaochuan thought for a while, but he didn't know how to make nitrogen. He shook his head and said, "Forget it, I can't do it either, you can keep it."
Jiang Dingzhong thought for a while, then put away the rabbit's fur, intending to give it to them after the nitrogen is made.
"Okay, then I'll keep it for you."
Then he walked into the kitchen.
Soon the fragrance came, causing the three little kids to run to the kitchen one after another.
Finally, under the anxious expectation of several dolls,
The dishes were finally out of the pot.
A large pot of braised rabbit meat was filled with some potato cubes.
Jiang Dingzhong invited the two to sit on the table together.
Jiang Xiaochuan found that there were only his brothers and Jiang Dingzhong on the table. So he asked, "Uncle Jiang, where are Aunt Jiang and others? Why don't you come to have a meal?"
Jiang Dingzhong said casually, "Oh, they'll just eat in the kitchen."
Jiang Xiaochuan didn't know that there were still many rules in the countryside in this era
It doesn’t matter normally. When guests come to the house, both women and children don’t serve. I don’t know if they are afraid that the guests will not eat, or other reasons.
Although Jiang Xiaochuan and Jiang Xiaohe are children, Jiang Dingzhong cannot neglect them just because they are children.
However, Jiang Xiaochuan, who was later generations, could not understand this behavior.
"Okawa, what are you doing? Sit down and have a meal..."
Jiang Xiaochuan put down the chopsticks in his hand, ignored Jiang Dingzhong's shouts behind him, and walked towards the kitchen.
After coming in, I saw Wang Cuihua and her two children preparing to have a meal.
The dishes were only one quarter of the food on the table outside.
There were not many pieces of rabbit meat in the bowl that contained rabbit meat, most of which were potatoes.
Without saying a word, he picked up the rabbit meat on the table with one hand and pulled Lanlan with the other hand.
He said to the confused Wang Cuihua, "Aunt Cuihua, take Tiedan to the main hall to have a meal together."
After saying that, he pulled Jiang Lanlan back to the main hall.
The reason why he pulled Lanlan was because he was afraid that Aunt Cuihua would stay on the grounds that the woman would not go to the table.
Wang Cuihua, who followed him, glanced at Jiang Dingzhong at a loss.
Jiang Xiaochuan ignored them and put the vegetables into a large basin. He then picked up a piece of rabbit meat for Lanlan and said to her, "Come... eat meat..."
But Jiang Lanlan did not move her chopsticks, but looked at her father.
Seeing their actions, Jiang Xiaochuan said to Jiang Dingzhong depressedly, "Uncle Jiang, what do you mean by this... We are just two children, not big shots, so there is no need to be so polite!"
When Jiang Dingzhong heard him say this, he no longer politely and said to his wife with a smile, "Okay, let's eat together,"
A pot of rabbit stewed potatoes, a portion of leeks and fried eggs, a portion of dried vegetables, and a portion of beans.
The rice is just corn and sweet potato porridge, but it is very thick. Don’t underestimate this. It is probably the food ration for a family for a few days.
It can be said that the New Year is just like this. And there is not so much oil and water.
When cooking, people usually dip their chopsticks in oil and order a few times on the bottom of the pot.
Seeing that today's food was good, I took out my treasured white wine, which was said to be the treasured wine, but in fact it was the bulk grain wine, which was filled in a salt water bottle.
Looking at Jiang Dingzhong, he narrowed his mouth three times, enjoyed for a while, and then put the bottle back.
It seems that I can't bear to drink it.
Yes, now there is not enough food to eat, so how can I take out the grain to make wine? I guess only the city will use grain to make wine, but there will not be too much.
The meal was so delicious. I ate all the meat. I couldn't help it. I saw that there were too many dishes, but I couldn't stand a few young and half-old boys.
Haven't you heard of it? I'm a half-year-old man, I'm poor.
After finishing the meal, Jiang Dingzhong burped and said embarrassedly, "I'm so embarrassed. I was going to leave some for you to take back."
In fact, during the meal, he planned to serve a little in a bowl, but Jiang Xiaochuan refused.
Jiang Xiaochuan said politely, "Uncle Jiang, don't be polite. Actually, I'm having something to do with you today."
When Jiang Dingzhong heard his words, he felt a little sad. This meal was not delicious. Don’t make any excessive requests.
But he quickly regained his expression and said with a smile, "What's the matter? As long as I can help you, I will definitely help you."
The potential meaning is that if you can't help you, there is nothing you can do.
Jiang Xiaochuan didn't know what he meant, and he didn't care, and said, "That's right, Uncle Jiang, I'm building a house, I hope you can help."
When Jiang Dingzhong heard that it was this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "This is all a trivial matter. I will help you at that time, but I can't help all the time. I still have to do it in the village."
Jiang Xiaochuan knew that he had misunderstood and thought he was asking him to help with the work, and explained, "Uncle Jiang, I mean, I will give you the money, and you can help me with some time."
Jiang Dingzhong hesitated when he heard his words, "This... this is not very suitable, Jiang Dahai can't argue," he didn't want people to feel that he was making money from it.
"Uncle Jiang, there is nothing wrong with it. Anyway, I have already divided it up. Look, buying bricks, wood, and asking fellow villagers for help. How can you come forward? Jiang Dahai has to find you. And you also know that my relationship with the Jiang family. I couldn't find someone at the beginning, but now I have you here, why do I have to find him?"
When Jiang Dazhong heard this, he thought about it and said that it was indeed the reason. He felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he agreed, "It's okay, then how do you do it?"
Jiang Xiaochuan thought for a while, "Uncle, do you think this is OK? How much does bricks and wood cost? Just tell me how much does it cost. How much does it mean to give it to manual labor?"
When Jiang Dachuan heard this, he immediately shook his head, "No, the villagers in the village help, there is no reason to get money, you can't start this, otherwise who can build a house in the future? You will not be hated by others... But you must be responsible for two meals a day."
When Jiang Xiaochuan heard his words, he sighed in his heart that the labor was so cheap at this time, and two meals were enough, and he couldn't even give it money.
"Okay, Uncle Jiang, tomorrow you can determine the foundation, and you can find who to find and how many people you can do. As for the grain..." He said this, and thought for a while and said, "Uncle Jiang, can I buy it from the village?"
Every year when I collect grain and hand over it to the public grain, the village will keep some grain as emergency grain. Now it is almost autumn harvest, so it should be fine to buy some.
But Jiang Dingzhong glanced at him and said, "No, the food in the village cannot be moved."
Jiang Xiaochuan asked strangely, "Why? The autumn harvest will come soon. Although everyone can't eat enough food, it shouldn't be a big problem until the autumn harvest."
Jiang Dingzhong said complicatedly, "Don't ask about the reason, it's just not possible anyway. You have to solve the food yourself."
Seeing his expression, Jiang Xiaochuan paused in his heart. What he thought of was probably the matter in the canteen was confirmed. He just didn't know which day it was.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll solve the problem of food. But it will take one or two days, and I'll ask Aunt Cuihua to help cook."
Seeing him agreeing, Jiang Dingzhong said with a smile, "Then there is no problem. When the bricks and wood are pulled over, you can get the food. Anyway, your aunt is fine at home. Then you can leave the cooking to her."
As for why I didn't let my mother come over, I was afraid that Jiang Dahai's family would have a son.
The house matters were basically settled, so Jiang Xiaochuan took his younger brother back.
