So, since she went to the city last time, she bought herself some new bowls, chopsticks and plates.

After washing the dishes and chopsticks used by these people, she would put them back in the boiling water pot to disinfect them. Gui Niang thought this was a waste of firewood and water and unnecessary.

Xia Ran smiled and still insisted on her own idea. At least doing so could make her feel more at ease.

These people are all acquaintances, and I haven't heard of any of them having any infectious diseases, but what if they have diseases like hepatitis B? It's better to be careful.

After finishing their meal, they sat down to rest for a while, then started to work again. The second brother led people to dig sand in the river again.

Shitou was sent out by Xia Ran to tell the children in the village that they would collect beer bottles, mainly the broken ones, at a price of 5 cent for bottles.

The good bottles are either kept for use or exchanged for money. I also collect broken glass, and I pay according to the quantity. I plan to cover the walls of the courtyard with broken glass.

By the way, I smashed the 18 bottles I had finished drinking last time with a hammer and put them aside. Then I started to worry about what to eat in the evening. It was not easy to cook anything with so many people.

There is no yeast powder now, so you can mix some flour and steam some potato vermicelli and meat buns.

After thinking about it, I decided to just roll the noodles. Xia Ran and Gui Niang used white flour as the main ingredient and buckwheat flour as the auxiliary ingredient. They mixed two large bowls of noodles, kneaded them until smooth, and let them rest.

You have to roll it several times. Xia Ran's board is 1 meters x 4 meter, which is not small. For normal family meals, half a sheet is enough. Now there are many people, so you have to roll more sheets.

Xia Ran also cut some potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, celery, etc. She planned to make a hodgepodge of stews and mix them with noodles.

Following my method, the臊子 and lard in the big vat were becoming less and less at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Fortunately, the original body has disappeared, otherwise, with the original body's stingy and thrifty appearance, he would probably be angered to death and come back to life.

Next time I go to the city, I will buy some lard and meat, and make some meat sauce and lard, which will be more convenient for daily consumption. Due to the climate here, the meat sauce can be kept for years without going bad.

The two of them rolled out 6 large sheets of dough, and Xia Ran cut them directly into noodles about 1 cm wide and long, and mixed them with noodles, which was just right.

At lunch, I counted 21 adults, many of whom came to help because they heard or saw what was going on. That's how people are these days.

The habit of helping each other is implemented very well. The sense of collectivism is quite strong! According to the second child, he will ask a few more people to help in the afternoon. If we don't make enough, it won't be enough to eat.

After finishing all these, she started to stir-fry the diced vegetables and stew. Xia Ran still used lard and meat sauce as the base, and directly stir-fried half a pot of vegetables, with vegetables on top and soup at the bottom.

The flavors of several dishes blend together to create another kind of homely aroma. In case some people find it too dry, I added some water to it and stewed it slowly. If you like to eat soup rice, you can scoop more soup.

Then, they boiled a large pot of water in another large pot. When the water boiled, the people who brought sand and bought rafters came back. Xia Ran and Gui Niang started to cook noodles directly.

Shitou and the yellow-haired girl were making the fire, Xia Ran was cooking noodles, and Gui Niang was in charge of serving the dishes. When the villagers were working, they didn't care about seniority or etiquette. Whoever washed their hands first would get to eat first.

If you feel that there is not enough soup or vegetables, you can come over to add more soup or vegetables. I forgot how many pots of noodles I cooked in total. Anyway, as soon as they were cooked, someone came over with an empty bowl, and Xia Ran continued to scoop noodles and continue to cook.

After everyone else had finished eating, they sat there chatting, and then Xia Ran, Gui Niang, Shitou, and Jingwazi started eating.

Jingwazi and Shitou ate a few mouthfuls of noodles. They scooped out the leftovers from each pot and gave them to others. If there was not enough for a bowl, they would give them to the two kids. The two kids also shared the bowl of noodles for Jianguo.

"Jian Guojia, this meal is absolutely amazing, and it smells so good. Who knew that her cooking skills were so good? She used to be stingy, eating cornmeal and eggs every day, and I thought she only knew how to make cornmeal and eggs. But it turns out that she is just stingy, not incapable of cooking other things."

"How can it not be delicious? Look at the meat in the bowl and the fat floating on top. Even if you put it this way, it will taste good no matter how you cook it."

"Hahaha, that makes sense."

"It's rich in oil and meat, and it tastes good no matter how you cook it. For a meal like this, I don't need to be paid. As long as the food is of today's standard, I can keep working for free."

"That's a nice thought! It's okay to have it once in a while, but if you do it every day, the landlord can't afford it."

"Who says it's not?"

"At home, we either eat cornmeal eggs or boiled potatoes. I'm tired of eating them. I can't stand it. Here, I can not only eat mixed noodles, but also white rice, and I can eat as much as I want. Who can stand that?"

I thought that if Jianguo went there, his country would fall into the mire. Unexpectedly, he lived a colorful life and established himself completely.

Everyone was silent. Yes, they were all just making trouble because they were poor. They were not afraid of hardship and were willing to take risks, but this place was so small and there was not so much work to do.

With only a few acres of land, the harvest was very limited, and they always felt like they had strength but nowhere to use it. They also wanted to eat rice every day, and they also wanted to feed their parents, children and women, but they just couldn't do it.

It's not that I don't work hard, it's that I don't have the right place and channel to work hard. I don't know what to do to solve this dilemma.

I was just inspired by the two meals that Jianguo had eaten. I have never wanted to change my current predicament so strongly.

It also means that Jianguo's death must have cost a lot of money. Rumors were flying around the village, and people from other villages also came to inquire about the matter.

Some said they were compensated 600 yuan, others said 1000 yuan, and some even said 3000 yuan. In short, there were all kinds of amounts.

No one knew the exact amount, except for his Aunt Gui, who should know the most. But she and her husband were too tight-lipped and refused to reveal any information. When asked, they played dumb and said they didn't know, were unclear, and didn't care.

On the day they went to the brick and tile factory to seek justice, the people who surrounded Jianguo and were closest to him were all their own people, such as his aunt Gui and his wife, his tenth uncle and his wife, and his sixth uncle and his family.

As for what was said and discussed, outsiders like them had no idea. They were envious of the rich people's money, but this money could not be the money that people would earn from their lives.

If you have people, you have everything. If you don't have people, you can't live happily even if you have money, right?

"Let's go. We've rested enough. Let's work a little longer. No matter what, we have to live up to the good food they provide. If we work harder, the wall will be finished soon. We can finish it today and help build the house tomorrow."

"it is good."

Then everyone got busy again.
