After hearing what Jiang Yuwei said, Chen Guixiang's face suddenly changed. She took a few steps back and almost lost her balance. Fortunately, old man Ning behind her supported her and she managed to stabilize her body.

Chen Guixiang had already lost her momentum. She only hesitated and said:

"You, you, you Jiang Yuwei, I don't want to eat your meal, let's wait and see!"

After saying that, he pulled Old Man Ning and ran out stumblingly.

Jiang Yuwei looked at Chen Guixiang's back and sneered, then turned around and went back to greet everyone. After Chen Guixiang's disturbance, everyone lost their mood to eat and got up to go to work.

They all knew that Jiang Yuwei served them attentively. They were all farmers, and most of them were simple and honest. Since she was so kind to them, they naturally wanted to do more for her family, so no one was lazy and they worked very actively.

Because so many people were invited and everyone worked very hard, they quickly repaired the stove outside the yard and the roof that had burned yesterday. The headman also brought back all the bricks and tiles before dark and handed the land deed to Jiang Yuwei personally.

In the evening, Jiang Yuwei heated up the leftover food from lunch and killed two wild rabbits to make stewed rabbit meat for everyone. Everyone was very satisfied with the meal and even began to look forward to what delicious food Jiang Yuwei would cook the next day.

After seeing everyone off, the family of four was very happy because they didn't have to sleep in the open air house anymore. After being busy all day, the four of them fell asleep quickly.

next day

Jiang Yuwei got up early and opened the gate to let Ning Huaizhi wait at home for people to come to work. She herself prepared to go out for a walk. The pork stored in the space had been eaten up yesterday, so she had to find something else to eat today.

Jiang Yuwei walked to the pond behind the house and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind. She ran to the pond to see if she could catch a fish to cook today. As she was thinking, she saw a big fish swimming over in the pond. Jiang Yuwei reached out to grab it without thinking, but the fish was too agile and she missed.

Jiang Yuwei had no choice but to go ashore and find a pointed wooden stick to stab the fish. Fortunately, her aim was good and she stabbed the fish's head right away, catching a big crucian carp. Jiang Yuwei threw the fish to the shore and did the same thing to catch four or five more. Then she went home with the fish in her arms, satisfied.

The worker was surprised when he saw the fish in Jiang Yuwei's hand.

"My eldest brother's wife, you can't eat this fish. It smells fishy and bitter. It also has fish scales. It's really uncomfortable to eat."

"Yes, if it weren't for the famine, no one would eat this kind of thing."

Seeing that everyone was so resistant to the fish, Jiang Yuwei smiled and said:

"Everyone, just focus on your work. Leave the fish to me. I guarantee you'll want to eat it again after eating it once."

Ning Huaizhi had also eaten this kind of fish when he was on the battlefield due to the shortage of military rations. It was really hard to describe. At this moment, he looked at Jiang Yu with difficulty.

Seeing that he seemed to be hesitant to speak, Jiang Yuwei laughed and said:

"You still don't believe in my craftsmanship?"

Seeing her say so firmly that the fish was delicious, Ning Huaizhi had no choice but to agree with her and nodded at her.

Jiang Yuwei took the fish and first processed the scales with a stone, then took out the internal organs with a knife, rinsed them clean, and then adjusted the taste. She also chopped up the red and yellow peppers that she had planted in the spiritual spring, sprinkled them on the fish, and then steamed it directly in the pot.

Ning Zhao came over to help light the fire with great insight. Jiang Yuwei also stir-fried two vegetables, made a side dish for rice, and steamed a large pot of cornmeal and white flour buns.

Everyone worked together in the morning and quickly laid the foundation. When it was time for dinner, everyone saw that Jiang Yuwei really brought a plate of crucian carp to the table. They all frowned. Farmers cannot waste food. Since Jiang Yuwei took the trouble to make it, they had no choice but to eat it.

There was a brave one who directly picked up a large chopstick and put it into his mouth. Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei laughed and said:

"This crucian carp has many small bones, so be careful not to prick your mouth when eating it."

As soon as Jiang Yuwei finished speaking, someone shouted:

"It's delicious. I've never eaten fish like this before."

When everyone saw someone eating, they also carefully stretched out their chopsticks to take a bite.

"It's so spicy, so spicy, what's going on? The spicier it is, the more I want to eat it!"

"This fish is different from the ones I ate before. It's not bitter at all."

"Yes, there is no fishy smell at all. It is really delicious."

"Delicious, delicious, really goes well with rice!"

Seeing that everyone was enjoying the meal, Jiang Yuwei suddenly thought that if these people didn't know how to eat fish before, then the restaurant in the town naturally wouldn't be able to cook this dish. It would be better to go to the restaurant tomorrow to have a look. If she could sell the recipe for cooking fish to the restaurant, her family would be able to live a better life.

Now that she started building the house, Jiang Yuwei realized that the money was spent like water. The cost of labor and food alone was not small, and most of the money was spent on buying some building materials and getting the land deed.

After the house is built, it will cost a lot to find someone to make furniture. She has to earn more money to make it. Jiang Yuwei can only sigh helplessly that it is really difficult to save money.

Ning Huaizhi saw Jiang Yuwei's sad face, so he asked softly:

"Yuwei, what's on your mind?"

Jiang Yuwei looked up at Ning Huaizhi and said with a smile:

"It's okay. I have to go to town tomorrow. I'll prepare the food in advance. You can just heat it up at noon tomorrow. You and Ning Zhao and Ning Wan can stay at home to supervise. I will be back in the afternoon to make dinner."

Ning Huaizhi looked at Jiang Yuwei and said worriedly:

"Can you go to town by yourself?"

Jiang Yuwei said with a smile while cleaning up the dishes:

"I'm not a child. Besides, I've been to that town many times. Don't worry about me. Just take care of the family."

Ning Huaizhi heard her say this and didn't ask any more questions. He just went over to help her clean the table.

Seeing that everyone was used to eating this fish, Jiang Yuwei cooked another table full of fish in the evening, and everyone was very satisfied with the meal.

After seeing everyone off, Jiang Yuwei looked at her own messy courtyard and could already imagine what it would look like after it was rebuilt in the future. Even though it was a bit hard and tiring now, she felt extremely satisfied mentally.

Jiang Yuwei thought that she would go to the town to sell houses tomorrow, so she had to give people a live demonstration. So she caught ten more fish before it got dark and kept them in her spiritual spring.

I also picked two kinds of red and yellow peppers from the fertile fields in the space, chopped them up and made chili sauce and marinated them separately. Today, I used fresh peppers directly. If chili sauce can be used to cook the fish, it will naturally taste better. Jiang Yuwei also named this fish "Double Pepper Crucian Carp"!

After finishing all these, Jiang Yuwei lit a candle and steamed two large pots of coarse grain buns, killed two wild rabbits and stewed rabbit meat with potatoes. She picked some green vegetables from the space and prepared them in the kitchen. Ning Wan would wash them tomorrow and ask Ning Huaizhi to stir-fry them and serve them on the table.

Jiang Yuwei carefully cleaned the rabbit skins, dried them, and collected them, preparing to make fur coats for her two children during the winter.

After finishing all the work, Jiang Yuwei went to bed peacefully.
