The famine-escape cub vs. the fake daughter cub
Chapter 37 The Old Patriarch's Kindness
"Eh!"
Faced with the well-intentioned reminder, Yunli was still quite gentle.
Most villagers have farmland, and the crops they harvest each season are enough for their own consumption.
It’s different at home.
When the family was divided a few months ago, her family was given two acres of dry land and two acres of mountain land from the old house. These were difficult to cultivate, and Yunmu had lived in the town for a long time and no longer had the ability to farm. After the four acres of land had been abandoned for a season, Yunmu rented them out to people in the village and collected some grain as rent.
It is not harvest time yet, so we can only eat as much food as we can buy.
Can't be compared with the villagers.
"Sister! The house is fixed!"
Yunfan didn't listen to them. He was busy moving food and some things to his sister's room, so he noticed the changes in the house first.
The previously dilapidated building was repaired and has a second life.
Yun Daqiang scratched his head and said with a simple smile, "In the past two days, while waiting for the mud bricks to dry, we repaired the roof and walls. Li girl, go and have a look yourself to see if there is anything else that needs repairing. Uncle will definitely make it beautiful!"
Yunli looked quite happy. After the house was repaired, it also saved the risk of collapse. However, the money I gave to the old patriarch might not be enough, so I would have to make up for it later.
"Of course I believe in Uncle Qiangzi's craftsmanship. Just looking at this wall, which is so smooth, you can tell that Uncle Qiangzi's craftsmanship is superb!"
As expected, praise is given to everyone, young and old.
With just this kind of praise, Yun Daqiang almost wanted to perform a carving show for Yun Li.
He only stopped when Aunt Fang pulled him back to eat.
Speaking of eating, Yunli has never cooked since she came here, except for making milk tea.
It was the first day back home, which was of great significance. Yunli decided to cook something herself.
Is egg custard the dish that is least likely to fail?
Yunli was very optimistic.
First, peel two eggs and pour them into a bowl, then stir them vigorously with chopsticks until they are evenly distributed.
Then comes the highlight.
Yunli first put an appropriate amount of salt in the bowl according to her vision, then added a little bit of sugar to enhance the flavor, and then added two drops of sesame oil to enhance the fragrance.
Then slowly inject an appropriate amount of warm water and stir vigorously to fully mix the salt, sugar and oil in the egg liquid.
Finally, put a bowl of beautifully colored egg liquid in a rice pot with water and steam it together with the rice.
You're done!
Next, she just has to wait to harvest a whole bowl of fragrant and tender egg custard!
After finishing all this, Yunli was driven out of the kitchen by Yunfan, "Sister, it's hot here, go out and wait."
The meals in their family were always simple, with two vegetables, one soup, one egg custard, and rice or porridge. Yunli would bring out meat sauce to supplement the protein for the three of them, which was barely a balanced diet.
At this moment, Yunli was looking forward to making the egg custard for the first time.
This expectation was shattered after Yunfan brought all the food to the table.
"Is this the egg custard that I made?" Yunli looked at the bowl of something that looked like honeycomb briquettes with a look of disbelief.
To be more precise, it looks like a beehive.
The surface was filled with tiny bubbles. Yunli poked the "honeycomb" with a spoon, and it instantly dented. Inside the dent was a clear liquid.
Yunli tasted it and it had the taste of egg, but it was a little light.
She didn't believe it, so she scooped a large spoonful of egg custard to see what was inside. She discovered that from top to bottom, from inside to outside, it was a complete honeycomb.
All that’s left is to send some granular bees to move in.
well.
Yunli took a sip and found the surface bland and tasteless, but the closer he got to the bottom of the bowl, the richer the taste became.
From tasteless to flavorful, to moderate, to slightly salty, and finally to the extremely salty bottom of the bowl. Yunli flipped open the layer at the bottom that looked like protein aggregates, and even saw distinct grains of salt.
Great.
Yunli was so angry that he picked up the bowl of egg custard and yelled, "Not even a dog would eat it!" while pouring the egg custard upside down into Yunfan's bowl.
Yunfan mixed it with the rice and took a big bite. A look of satisfaction filled his entire face. "My sister made this. It's delicious!"
Yunli felt a little embarrassed.
She wanted to throw it into the trash can, but after traveling through time, there was almost no such thing as leftovers at home, and all the food ended up in Yunfan's bowl, so her brain short-circuited for a moment and she forgot about it.
Fortunately, my brother is not sensible, otherwise he would have to fight with her.
However, the two younger ones refused to give in, "Sister, you are biased! I want to eat too!"
You are really not afraid of getting an upset stomach!
Yunli stuffed a mouthful of green vegetables into each of the two little ones' mouths, "Be good, green vegetables are more cost-effective. After eating them, you will grow taller and stronger than your brother, and prettier than your sister!"
The two little guys giggled and completely accepted Yunli's brainwashing, eating the vegetables happily one bite at a time.
The days in summer are especially long. After dinner, the villagers came over again to continue finishing the roof.
With so many people working together, the work can be done quickly, and it seems that the project will be completed before dark.
Yunli was very happy.
Finally, she was able to take out her RV and sleep there! God knows how she managed to survive in such a hot environment for so many days! She was almost used to it!
The old patriarch also finished his dinner and walked slowly towards me with his hands behind his back.
"Grandpa, the courtyard wall is so high, and the house was built so quickly. Is there not enough silver to pay the workers?" Yunli took the opportunity to ask.
The old man took out his abacus from behind his back, counted for a while, and nodded, "It is indeed more than two taels and eight cents. You bought so much food, do you have any silver on you?"
"I reserved some for self-defense." Yunli grinned, took out the silver from his bag, counted it carefully, and handed most of it to the old patriarch, "I'm really running out of silver now."
"You still need to find some income." The old patriarch put the silver into his pocket and said earnestly, "I have calculated that there are not many families in the village who have cows. If you are willing, you can rent out the cows, or let the villagers go to the town, or use them to plow the fields. If you are willing, I will help you make the connection."
Yunli kept smiling on the surface, but felt a little annoyed in his heart.
If I rent out the cow, won't my house be crowded with people every day?
There is no such thing as a thief who can steal for a thousand days. Who knows if something else might be missing from your home if you are not careful?
She would take some food out of the space to cool down almost every day. What if someone saw her? Or if someone with bad intentions tried to get information out of the two little ones?
Then all her efforts to reinforce the wall would be in vain.
