When we arrived at the house, it had already been cleaned. There were two pots of firewood burning in each room to heat away the moisture in the house.

"The house won't be built soon, so you can just live here temporarily."

Seeing that there were not many houses, Pan Qingfeng asked, "Uncle, how should we live?"

Lin Qingxiang scratched his head and said, "We just made do with the big bunk beds. The canteen provides three meals a day. We just come back to sleep. The materials are in place, and the house can be built soon."

"Can we go see where you live?" someone suggested.

Seeing more than 700 people looking at him, Lin Qingxiang felt a little embarrassed. "Everyone has gone out to work, and there is no one in the room. What if..."

What he wanted to say was what if someone was missing something and couldn't explain it.

"Uncle, we will just send a few people to take a look and never touch other people's things."

Pan Qingfeng and four or five other people came out, and Lin Qingxiang said to Wu Xun, "Xiao Wu, you take them there."

The houses they lived in were not far away, so Wu Xun quickly took them back after seeing the sights.

"Brother Feng, how is it?" Everyone surrounded Pan Qingfeng and the others.

"Just arrange it according to what this uncle said."

Next, Lin Qingxiang and Wu Xun will teach them what to do.

Those who escaped the famine and survived to the south were all good at hands-on work. By noon, they had already set up half of the large bunk bed.

Everyone was working so hard that they didn't even notice it was time for dinner, until a crisp sound was heard at the door.

"Dad, Aunt Zhang asked me to come and call you to dinner."

The person who came was Lin Qingxiang's little daughter, Lin Xiaomei. She was wearing a starched, bleached cloth dress with floral patterns. Her palm-sized face was rosy, with sweat oozing from her forehead, and her watery eyes were bright and lively.

The cuff of the left hand without a palm was tied up with a rope to facilitate work.

Lin Qingxiang turned around and saw his little girl calling him to eat, so he quickly turned around and said to Pan Qingfeng and the others, "Tell them to take their own bowls and follow me to the canteen to eat."

Everyone quickly took their dishes and came out of the house.

A large group of people followed Lin Qingxiang towards the canteen.

When you get closer, you can smell the aroma of food wafting from the cafeteria, and see people squatting or standing under the eaves eating and chatting.

Lin Qingxiang held Lin Xiaomei's right hand, his nose twitched and his stomach growled with hunger.

"Daughter, what delicious dishes are there in the canteen today?"

"Rice porridge and water spinach fried with lard."

"Water spinach?"

What kind of dish is that? Lin Qingxiang had never heard of this dish.

Lin Xiaomei raised her head with a proud look on her face, and spoke like pouring beans.

"This morning, my sister and I went to dig wild vegetables for food and found this in a muddy pit. Sister Anan said it was delicious."

When Lin Qingxiang heard about edible vegetables, he subconsciously said, "Don't eat the roots of edible vegetables. Leave them to grow and you can pick them next time."

"We only picked the vegetables, and the roots were all fine. Sister Anan even asked us to tidy up that area and make a small vegetable garden to grow water spinach. She also transplanted the scattered water spinach roots around it."

Speaking of Lin Yinan, Lin Xiaomei's face was full of admiration.

The people following behind noticed the cuffs tied on Lin Xiaomei's left hand.

A younger boy approached Pan Qingfeng and whispered, "Brother Feng, look at that girl's left hand, is it gone?"

Pan Qingfeng's face darkened, "I see it but I don't say it. Don't meddle in other people's business!"

After saying this, he turned his head and glanced at the people behind him in a warning manner.

The newly built canteen in Longtan County can accommodate thousands of people for dining at the same time. There are six windows for serving meals, so there are fewer people queuing up for meals at this time.

When the people in Pan Qingfeng's team got a full bowl of rice porridge that was so thick that it couldn't be poured out even if it was turned upside down, plus a big spoonful of fried green vegetables that were beautifully green and fragrant, they were so excited that they could hardly hold their bowls steady.

This made Aunt Li and the others who were serving food very worried. They reminded each person after serving, "Be careful not to spill it. Find a seat in the cafeteria to eat."

After getting his meal, Pan Qingfeng was led by the secret guards to the table where Lin Yinan and the others were sitting. Yun Er and Hu Shao consciously made a seat for him.

Pan Qingfeng sat down on the bench somewhat stiffly, his eyes casually glancing at the food on the tables. It was the same as his, except that there were more vegetables on the plates in front of the city lord and his wife.

Lin Yiheng, who was sitting opposite him, pointed to a notice board next to the cafeteria and said to him, "Qingfeng, there are some rules and regulations for dining in the cafeteria posted over there. Ask someone who can read to read it to the people in your team later."

"Okay." Pan Qingfeng nodded.

"They will be divided into teams this afternoon. If they have any questions, let them ask the captains of each team directly..."

Next, Lin Yiheng explained many details to him while eating.

Finally, Lin Yinan said, "After you finish your meal, go back and pack your things to the county government office. Hu Shao and his men will gather at the county government office, and then set off with the merchants who delivered the goods yesterday."

Pan Qingfeng, "Thank you, Lord City Lord!"

Lin Yinan stood up after eating, and Yun Mo was very tactful and took away his and her bowls.

At the gate of Longtan County Government Office.

Merchants and drivers were putting folded oilcloth ropes on the mule carts and feeding the mules, ready to set off at any time.

Lin Yinan, who had just returned from dinner, approached him and said, "Boss, when you go back this time, can you help me find out where I can buy fish fry?"

"You want to raise fish?" The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, the shopkeeper may help me buy the fry?"

"What a coincidence! My cousin's husband has a few fish ponds with a lot of fish in them. I'll ask for you later."

Lin Yinan bowed and thanked him, "In that case, thank you very much, shopkeeper."

There are now more than 700 people. Hu Shao and his team will bring back more people after a while. Lin Yiheng, Lin Yuanzhi and others are planning to continue ordering some bricks and tiles.

After their discussion, Liang Wen and Pan Qingfeng's houses should be separated from their own.

The core team members' houses are all made of brick and tile structures, and the welfare houses for employees are half made of blue bricks and half of earthen bricks, and the roofs are still covered with tiles, which can save some money.

At this time, Yun Er and Yun Yu walked out of the county government office, each carrying a bag.

Before this, the Yun Mo brothers had written a letter of trust to Yun Zhenchuan to buy grain, and there was some progress in that matter. The two of them were going to bring a hundred troops to get the grain back.

"Yun Er, wait a minute, take these with you and eat them on the way."

Yunying ran out of the county government office in a hurry, carrying a bundle in her hand.

Everyone looked back and forth at the two of them.

Yun Er took the package she handed over, reached out to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, and said softly, "It's too sunny outside, go back, don't get your face sunburned."

Lin Yinan clicked his tongue. The two of them were standing under the eaves, so how could their faces get sunburned?

The brothers Yunye and Yunmo immediately frowned. The delicate flower that they had carefully nurtured was actually being taken advantage of by a pig in front of them.

If eyes could become knives, Yun Er would have been cut into pieces long ago.

Yun Er seemed unaware of anything and continued doing his own thing.

However, the two brothers didn't say anything in the end. Yun Ying had been broken off once and she finally got over it. As long as Yun Er treated her well, it was enough.
