A small peasant girl's home is bare, but I have a spiritual space

I chose a courtyard house with two entrances and a winding corridor.

The interior design was based on Lin Yiran's plan. All bedrooms were equipped with kangs and fire walls so that the house would be as warm as spring in winter. Two bathrooms and a shower room were also built, but I didn't know if the craftsmen's current skills would allow them to succeed.

This will have to wait until we find a craftsman to discuss it before we can decide.

If it can be done, it will be another great revolution in the construction industry and will definitely cause a big stir.

Father Lin looked at Lin Yiran. With a daughter like Ran'er who had seen the world, his family was destined to no longer be able to keep a low profile.

"Third brother, have you found the craftsman I asked you to find last time?" Lin Yiran asked.

"Of course, I went through a lot of trouble to find out about him. That person is very famous. It is said that he built mansions for many dignitaries at the foot of the imperial city. However, he was too blunt and had no good words, so he offended people and was ostracized. He could no longer stay in the capital and had to return to his hometown.

I met him briefly last time. He usually takes on larger projects. In recent years, he has been involved in building ancestral halls or temples in the village.

He has more than thirty people under him. These people are veterans who have followed him all over the country. He can't bear to give up any of them.

All the ancestral halls in the surrounding villages have been built and renovated. The two temples in the town were only completed last year, so there is not much work to do recently.

There were quite a few people who came to ask Mr. Zhang to help them build houses, but they were all small courtyards with their own doors. The workers were used to earning high wages and did not care about this little money at all. Mr. Zhang was a little anxious.

When he heard me say that I wanted to build a two-story courtyard, he reluctantly agreed to come and take a look.”

Lin Yiran understood instantly that this man was a nostalgic person and his character must be impeccable. He could build mansions for so many dignitaries and his subordinates must be very capable. It would be appropriate for him to be in charge of building his own courtyard house.

Lin Yiran immediately decided on it.

"Mom and Dad, Second Brother and Third Brother, I have something to discuss with you. I have already verbally reached an agreement with Shopkeeper Cheng on the sale of tea. Although we haven't officially signed the contract, given Shopkeeper Cheng's character, he will definitely not go back on his word.

We have to pick the tea leaves as soon as possible, I’m afraid the tea leaves will get old in a few days and affect the quality,” Lin Yiran said anxiously.

"Okay, tomorrow our whole family will go out together, take a few more backpacks, and pick the tea leaves first. With Guaidan's storage space, we don't have to worry about it getting damaged in the hot weather." Mother Lin made the final decision.

Everyone ate too much at noon, so they had no appetite for dinner. Lin Yiran took out a few packets of instant noodles from the space. Now that the space had a clear path, Lin Yiran could take things out at any time.

When the Lin family saw Lin Yiran took out a new food, they gathered around curiously. Lin Yiran opened one of the bags, broke off a small piece from it and fed it to Lin's mother. He then broke off a few more pieces and put them in the hands of other people. "Try it. This is called instant noodles, and it comes in many flavors."

Some are suitable for eating directly, and some are suitable for cooking or soaking. The ones I took out are suitable for cooking and soaking. They can also be eaten directly, but they will be a little hard in taste. Not so crispy.

Several people nodded and put the instant noodles in their hands into their mouths.

Mother Lin chewed slowly, her eyes full of surprise. The taste of this instant noodle was very unique. When she took a bite, it was crispy and salty with a hint of spiciness.

The combination of several flavors not only does not seem abrupt but is also very harmonious.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Lin Yiran asked the few people.

"Delicious," everyone said in unison.

"Then I'll get you a few more packets of instant noodles to try." As Lin finished speaking, a few packets of instant noodles in green plastic bags appeared in his hand.

Lin Yiran gave everyone a packet, and asked them to try this.

Several people opened the packaging bags and started tasting the food.

"This one is crispier and tastes better. In addition to the salty taste, it also has a hint of sweetness, and a little bit of the taste of the big crab I ate last time. In summary, it is salty, fresh, and sweet. I feel that this one is more suitable for dry eating.

There is no harm without comparison. Before I ate this instant noodle, I thought the instant noodle was delicious. "Brother Lin is indeed a foodie. He can remember the taste of crabs accurately after eating them once, and he also accurately described the characteristics of the two instant noodles.

Okay, you can eat these bags of instant noodles as snacks, and I'll go cook those packets of instant noodles for dinner.

Several people wanted to see how to cook instant noodles, so they followed Lin Yiran into the kitchen.

Third Brother Lin took the initiative to take on the job of making the fire, while Second Brother Lin scooped a basin of water from the large water tank next to the well and brought it back to the kitchen and placed it on the stove. Lin Yin poured most of the basin of water into the pot and then covered it with the lid. "Third brother, you can make the fire now." Third Brother Lin nodded.

After the water boiled, Lin Yiran first beat a few eggs into the pot. After the eggs were completely solidified, she opened all the instant noodle bags, put the noodles and seasoning packets into the pot, and asked Third Brother Lin to add a few more firewood. Several people in the Lin family watched Lin Yiran's actions the whole time. Lin Yiran picked up the instant noodles scattered in the pot and felt its hardness and elasticity.

I felt it was about right, picked one out and tasted it, then nodded. The hardness was just right, slightly hard, and it would become a little softer after adding the noodle soup.

It will be just right when you eat it.

Lin Yiran then picked out a few more noodles and asked everyone to taste them. "Dad, Mom, Second Brother, Third Brother, the instant noodles should be cooked to this hardness. After adding hot soup, it will become a little softer.

There are several key points in cooking instant noodles: 1. You must wait until the water boils before putting the noodles in the pot; 2. It is best to cook it over medium or low heat for about 3 to 5 minutes. You can add your favorite vegetables, eggs, ham, sausage, etc.

3: Don’t forget to add seasoning. Seasoning is the soul of instant noodles. As for how much seasoning to add, you can add it according to your taste.

4: This instant noodle is very suitable for taking with you when traveling. Not only can it be eaten dry, but if it is inconvenient to cook, you can also put the noodles in a container, pour boiling water in, cover it with a lid and simmer for a few minutes before eating. It is very convenient. "

Everyone nodded when they heard Lin Yiran's words. This instant noodle is indeed a very good food. The name is also in line with its character.

After tasting the noodles, Brother Lin took a few bowls with great tact, and Lin Yi scooped the noodles into several bowls, and added a poached egg to each bowl.

"Okay, everyone try it," As soon as Lin Yiran finished speaking, everyone couldn't wait to pick up their bowls and started eating happily. Lin Yiran observed their reactions.

Needless to say, Third Brother Lin was wolfing down the food, just like Zhu Bajie eating the ginseng fruit, not afraid of burning his tongue. Even Second Brother Lin, who was usually calm and composed, was swallowing quickly. It seems that the charm of instant noodles should not be underestimated, and it is still so popular even in a different time and space.

Lin Yiran decided to wait for his second brother to go to the academy in a few days and bring him a few more bags, of course, his soul mates must also be kept, pickled mustard and ham sausage. Pack them together for him.

Everyone was very satisfied with the meal.

After dinner and cleaning up the kitchen, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

The next morning, Lin Yiran woke up slowly at the reminder of the alarm clock.

When she opened her eyes, she saw the three little ones lying beside her and sleeping soundly, with their snoring sounds coming one after another, non-stop.

Lin Yiran looked at their cute sleeping faces and couldn't bear to wake them up.

He put on his clothes quietly and walked out of the room.

In the courtyard, Father Lin was swinging an axe to chop a piece of wood. When he heard the door open, he looked back and asked, "Ran'er, why are you up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"Dad, I've slept well. Besides, our family has to go out to pick tea leaves today, so I have to get up early to help make breakfast." Lin Yiran gave her father a bright smile, then began to fetch water and wash up. "This child is so sensible," Lin's father looked at his daughter with some heartache.

"Breakfast is simple, your mother can make it by herself, there's no need for you." Father Lin said earnestly.

Lin Yiran smiled and said nothing more. After washing up, she went straight to the kitchen.
