Breakfast was very simple, still noodles, and the soup base was mutton soup leftover from last night.
Although there is no mutton, the soup base stewed with large pieces of mutton bones is still very delicious.
After a delicious meal, Li Jie and Qin Nan followed the brigade secretary back to the old house.
On their way back, they happened to bump into Lao Guo, who was pulling a donkey cart and walking over with a smile.
There are several baskets placed behind the donkey cart, which contain nothing but clay that will be used later.
"Brother Guo, please excuse me. I went to pull soil early in the morning."
Li Jie gave him a cigarette with a smile, and then lit one himself.
Keep one company!
"What's the trouble? We can't find that thing anywhere."
Lao Guo smiled and put the cigarette to his ear, then glanced towards the old house.
"It just so happens that he has brought everything. He will take advantage of the good weather tomorrow to repair the wall."
"Don't let him blow."
"Lao Guo's skills as a bricklayer are famous all over the country. Just for that wall, he guarantees that it won't take half a day to repair it beautifully for me."
"Okay, let him spank my legs!"
"He knows how to work with clay!"
Hearing that, Lao Guo raised his eyebrows and said, "You're from the city, are you good at that?"
"I learned a little bit when I went to Xiangdong before."
Li Jie laughed and made up a reason casually.
"Okay, then I'll do it with him."
In Lao Guo's view, regardless of whether Li Jie really knows it or not, it doesn't matter.
Only if you are willing to help me, please ask again.
Besides, it's just a wall repair, and it doesn't require any technical skills. As long as you have the strength, you can do it.
As for Li Jie's strength, has Lao Guo seen it before?
When I came that day, I was carrying such a heavy load, and I was stunned without blushing or out of breath.
Not long after, a group of people came to the old house. Li Jie saw that there was a bucket in the donkey cart, so he took the initiative to pick up the load and ran to fetch water.
For some time in the future, he and Qin Nan will live there, and it can be considered their home.
You must keep your own family affairs at heart.
"Eh?"
"Xiao Gao, I..."
Seeing Li Jie's fast steps, Lao Guo raised his legs. However, before he could finish his words, Li Jie ran away.
After looking at it for a moment, he had to look away.
That kid is too stupid at work.
As Lao Guo said, building a wall is not troublesome at all, not to mention he has three helping hands.
Li Jie, Qin Nan and the brigade secretary went to help, and the holes were repaired before noon.
After patching it up, Lao Guo took a shovel and repaired it. Before finishing the work, he patted the wall.
"Let it dry for two or three days, and it will almost start to work. By then, the strength will be the same as new."
"My brother's leg skills are beyond praise."
Li Jie's words are not a compliment. Lao Guo's skills as a bricklayer are indeed very good. I hope that in a few decades, he will be at least a few hundred days older than the old master.
"That's wrong. Let's make do with him for lunch at his place."
With that said, Li Jie winked at Qin Nan and asked her to go over and take out all the remaining things.
"become."
Lao Guo laughed and had no intention of refusing. It was not customary to build a house for someone else and provide food for the owner.
His money was not confiscated and he was left with nothing to eat, which is reasonable.
However, after he washed his legs and walked into the house, he felt that the situation was a bit good.
Is there a big bowl of spicy and oily meat strips on the table?
If I read it correctly, it’s beef, right?
And whether it is air-dried.
That big pot doesn't have four or five kilograms of fresh beef, so it's absolutely impossible to cook it.
Good guy!
Isn’t that hard food?
If I leave it to them, I would like to ask if they can get a wife and hold a banquet with ten or eight tables. They won't need so much beef.
Thinking of that, Lao Guo couldn't help but turn his head and look at Li Jie a few more times.
That doll, where did it come from so many good things?
He heard from the brigade secretary that Li Jie's file showed that the boy did not come from an ordinary worker's family.
But a child from an ordinary working-class family can eat four to five kilograms of beef in one meal?
Very nice Fenjiu!
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like something an ordinary family can do.
No, please tell me that the doll's home is not ordinary. It seems a bit unreasonable.
Strange, strange.
That strong sense of dissonance is so strange.
Li Jie didn't think that much. In his opinion, no matter how many good things there are, they can't be used to eat.
It's just a few kilograms of beef, it doesn't matter.
If you really want to calculate the cost, the biggest cost of the pot of air-dried and confit spicy beef is actually the labor cost.
With his leg skills, not to mention, in future generations, a processing fee of several thousand yuan would not be too expensive.
Well, it depends on his mood.
Even if that person were given money and wealth, he wouldn't do it.
Not long after, the brigade secretary also walked into the room. When he saw the large pot of beef jerky, he was stunned for a moment, and then went to say hello.
"Xiao Gao, he's going to go back and get some food and wine. He'll be here in a minute."
As soon as the brigade secretary left, Qin Nan came out with another plate of food.
"oops."
Seeing the dishes on the plate, Lao Guo said embarrassedly.
"He said, Xiao Gao, I don't want to do that. Even if it's a landlord's house, you can't build it like that."
"I asked my siblings to put away the sausage."
"That pot of vegetables is enough."
Hearing those words, Qin Nan immediately looked at Li Jie. In that house, it was definitely the male lead.
When there are outsiders present, it will naturally be dominated by men.
Li Jie ignored Lao Guo, walked straight to Qin Nan, took the plate on his own initiative, and said with a smile when he turned around.
"Brother, that's the only dish."
"They just came here and didn't buy anything. So I begged them and they didn't have anything left."
When the meal is finished tomorrow, most of the food Li Jie brought over will be eaten.
The spicy beef confit was quite good, but it only weighed half a catty. Even if he and Qin Nan ate it, they wouldn't be able to eat it for a few days.
There is quite a lot of sausage left, about two kilograms.
If you want to eat, you can eat it. If you don’t have it, buy it if you don’t have it. If you can’t buy anything, Li Jie will ask the Magic City to send it to you.
His good friend Xiao Jian is doing quite well now. With his help in the past two years, he has set a very useful line.
If nothing else happens, even if Xiao Jiandong goes to the countryside, he will not go too far.
"That's it."
Lao Guo smiled and rubbed his legs: "To be honest, the food tomorrow will be so rich that it makes him feel embarrassed."
Those words completely contradicted what Lao Guo said from the bottom of his heart.
Their area is notoriously poor, and the people in the brigade know nothing but herding.
Herding is hard work and does not make any money.
Especially when you go out to graze, not to mention sleeping in the open, you may be in danger.
If you encounter a pack of wolves, it's no joke.
Those beasts only pick soft persimmons.
In the eyes of those beasts, no one is weak compared to a man or a horse.
