I married a playboy at the beginning, and I changed my fate by eating delicious food

The booklet was just completed yesterday and another person came to place an order today.

Xu Si guessed that it was sent by another guest who said he wanted to buy it at the banquet that day.

"Shall we build a clay kiln?"

"What is that?" Shen Anyi asked puzzledly.

"When firing ceramics, they need to be placed in a cave. A clay kiln is similar to this, but it is used to bake food. For example, the cake base we want to make can be baked inside." Xu Si used an analogy to explain to everyone.

"What's the difference between baking and steaming the cake base?"

Lou Yuexin raised questions about this because she was responsible for making the cake base.

"There are only some subtle differences. Steaming is more delicate and softer in taste and is less likely to cause a sore throat. Roasting is less watery and can be preserved longer."

"Okay, let's make one then."

Xu Si thought for a moment, "There is no land in the yard except next to the chicken coop. That place is not suitable either. Let's build the mud kiln inside the shop."

It’s a bit disgusting to think of putting a clay kiln next to a chicken coop.

And it’s too troublesome to make it at home and then send it to the store for people to pick it up.

As for having someone come to your house to pick it up directly?

Although they don't have much money, they should still pay attention to their privacy like everyone else.

"Then I'll go find the bricklayer. If you have any requests, just tell him directly."

Shen Anyi was familiar with the process, after all, he had come into contact with it when building a kitchen last time, and he quickly led people back.

They chose the vacant space opposite the kitchen and Xu Si described the size and shape, and the bricklayer understood.

"I understand. Don't worry, girl. I have been in this business for more than 20 years. I can definitely meet your requirements."

The bricklayer was a middle-aged man with dark skin, cracked skin on his hands, and some nails had fallen off. At the moment, he was smiling in a naive manner, which made people feel sad for no reason.

A pair of hands that are weathered and reveal endless hardship, but it is these hands that support his life.

As the sun rose, Xu Si went to do other things, leaving the bricklayer alone to work.

Qi Ning held the cup carefully, stepped over the kitchen threshold with his short legs cautiously, paying attention to prevent the water in the cup from spilling, and slowly approached the squatting bricklayer.

"Grandpa, drink it."

Although the bricklayer is not very old, he is already a grandfather like Shen Anyi.

Therefore, Qi Ning also addressed him according to his generation.

The bricklayer noticed the clear childish voice, looked up and saw Qi Ning handing him a cup of water, and took it with a smile, "Thank you."

His throat was a little dry, so he took a big gulp and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Why is it sour and sweet? Did you take the wrong thing, little kid?"

It was good enough to have a glass of water. Most people would not drink water of this flavor. He was worried that he had taken the wrong one and didn't know how to react for a moment.

Qi Ning hurriedly shook his head, "Yes, my second aunt prepared it for me to bring over."

"Oh, that's good," the bricklayer breathed a sigh of relief.

He smiled again. This family are all rare kind people.

He smacked his lips. "Isn't this the lemonade?"

Qi Ning nodded slightly.

The bricklayer suddenly felt that the water in the cup was even more precious.

Although he had no money to buy it, he had heard of this lemonade and didn't expect to have the chance to drink it.

When I took a sip, I didn't swallow it in a hurry, but savored it slowly.

After drinking, he handed the cup to Qi Ning, who rubbed his hands and worked even more seriously.

The whole thing is made of bricks and tiles, covered with mud, with two openings, the upper one for placing food and the lower one for burning fire.

Xu Si looked at the clay kiln in front of him and was very satisfied.

She walked around in a circle, "Uncle, can you make two semicircles for me on this kiln?"

The mason hesitated, "Does it have any effect?"

He has been doing this for so many years and has never heard of adding anything else.

Xu Si was a little embarrassed, "No, I just think it looks good this way."

"Oh, so that's the case. No problem." The bricklayer smiled, took two lumps of mud and pasted them on the position Xu Si said.

Although he didn't see what was good about it, everyone has their own ideas.

"Thank you, uncle. Let's eat first before we go."

After paying the money, Xu Si said that it was obvious that this mud kiln was built with great care and was very solid.

The bricklayer hurriedly refused. He said it was good enough to have the chance to drink the lemonade. They were not as rude as the other hosts. They treated him sincerely and he could feel it.

The price given by the bricklayer was very fair. Xu Si and his friends had originally planned to provide meals, so they insisted on bringing him two steamed buns and also gave him some leftover cold dishes.

When Xu Si went to see the mud kiln again, he found that Xiaobai had already crawled in and was lying down.

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Come out quickly, it's a good thing it's not cooked yet, otherwise you would be cooked."

Xiaobai rolled around inside and looked at her with his round eyes.

"Okay, okay, if you don't want to come out, then you can't go in again."

Xu Si didn't care whether it could understand or not, and spoke a few words to it softly.

The weather was hot, and by night the mud kiln had dried up a lot.

Xu Si took out a brush and ink and painted the two extra protruding semicircles black.

Two oval eyes and a small nose are outlined, and a cute giant panda appears before our eyes.

"Wow, so cute."

Qi Ning squatted beside Xu Si holding the ink, his mouth slightly open.

"I was wondering why there were two extra horns. Turns out they serve as ears." Lou Yuexin suddenly realized.

Su Jinyue also nodded in agreement, "It does look better this way, and it makes the yard more interesting."

"I just don't know if it will rain later, otherwise the ink will be washed away."

Xu Si’s worries were not unreasonable. After all, this ink was not waterproof.

Seeing the worried look on Second Aunt's face, Qi Ning immediately said, "If it rains, I will hold an umbrella over it so it won't get wet."

Xu Si laughed, "Oh, that's not necessary. If the painting gets wet, it gets wet. Don't let our Qi Ning get wet, otherwise Second Aunt will be distressed."

This child is serious. If he doesn't explain clearly, he might really do something to protect the clay kiln.

Qi Ning could sense his second aunt's concern for him and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"It's not a big deal. We can just find some wooden boards to build a shed when the time comes." Shen Anyi gave a reasonable suggestion.

Xiaobai seemed to like this clay kiln very much. He usually played with Qi Ning, but today he stayed in it the whole time. Qi Ning doted on him but felt a little disappointed at the same time.

Xiaobai didn't come out until he returned home at night.

They have nests at home and in the shop. Wherever Xu Si is, Dahuang will be there, and Xiaobai will follow too.

It can be considered a complete family on another level.

The chicks in the yard have grown up. They chirped when they saw them come back, and went back to their nests after feeding them.

I remember when I first brought the two dogs back, both the chickens and the puppies were very curious and kept barking at each other. Later, Big Yellow even crawled into the chicken coop, causing a huge commotion.

It was not until later that the situation evolved into the current peaceful one.
