The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

Chapter 285 Building a House and Opening a Carpentry Shop

The fish soup stewed by Zhao Guizhi is creamy white. When it is almost served, some coriander is sprinkled on it. The white and green combination looks very nice.

It was just that the spicy food at the back was really choking. Chu Xiao coughed a few times and was chased out by Zhao Guizhi.

But even in the yard, you can smell the strong odor.

"It would be great if I could eat spicy food. This smells quite good." Chu Xiao was a little worried. Now he couldn't eat this or that, but he could only watch others eat without eating anything. He felt greedy.

Yan Zhenshen knew what he meant, and pulled him away to avoid choking and feeling uncomfortable: "It's not like you're completely avoiding food. It's okay to eat less, but the taste of chili is a bit strong. We've grown a lot of chili at home. Let's kill a pheasant tomorrow. The spicy chicken is also good."

"Then you have to pick a big and fat one." Yan Sanmei led Qing Ge'er, who had just changed his clothes, out and said, "It would be better to make a braised chicken."

"It's time to change the taste." Chu Xiao was tired of drinking the chicken soup every now and then and always wanted to eat something flavorful.

"Have you packed everything? It's time to eat." Zhao Guizhi took off the scarf tied around her mouth and nose, walked out and took several deep breaths.

"I soaked this chili overnight and changed the water twice, but it still tastes like this when I stir-fry it." Although he choked and felt uncomfortable, he still smiled and said, "This should be good for making kimchi."

It was already hot at noon, and the spicy food made him sweat all over. Chu Xiao only ate two bites of the spicy meat and drank a bowl of spicy fish soup. This time, Yan Zhenshen didn't need to stop him, as he had no intention of continuing to eat that dish.

Qiao Qingyun didn't even touch it, but Yan Zhennan kept hissing and laughing while moving his chopsticks.

He can eat very spicy food. When he was an apprentice in the county town, the food there was really bad and was always some vegetable leaves that no one wanted. In order to go with the meal, they would get some flavorful pickles, kimchi, and chili sauce.

At worst, you can sneak into someone's house and pick some onions and garlic, and eat them with rice.

Thinking about the rotten vegetable leaves I had eaten before, I felt sad. This is the life that people should live now. When you are really short of money, you have to do everything you can to get enough to eat. There is no such thing as what tastes good and what tastes bad.

Yan Zhennan was sweating profusely while eating. Finally, he soaked half a bowl of rice in fish soup, and put down his chopsticks after he was full.

"Mom and Dad, Big Brother, Ayun and I want to buy a piece of land near our home and build a house."

"Build a house?" Zhao Guizhi was stunned, not quite understanding: "There are so many houses in the house. If you want to do carpentry work, the old house is also empty."

Chu Xiao drank the soup slowly. He could understand Yan Zhennan's thoughts. Men always wanted to have their own world.

Although Yan Zhennan has a place here, the money to build this house was paid by Yan Zhenshen and Chu Xiao. In a sense, this house belongs to the eldest son of the Yan family.

If he were like Xiaobei, he would not have too many ideas because he was still young. But Yan Zhennan was already a man who could get married, and it was not good for him to always live under his brother's protection.

What's more, Qiao Qingyun is the dean, how can he not have money? Since he has money, why doesn't he build a small home for himself?

"I can't make much money from these odd jobs in a year, so I want to build a house and open a proper carpentry shop. I can make some finished furniture samples from time to time, but that will take up some space. The old house is too shabby, and it won't look good if I put the furniture in it."

Yan Zhennan had already discussed with Qiao Qingyun about building two main houses for living and a wing to display the finished furniture. It didn't matter if the backyard was small, but the front yard had to be large, otherwise he would not be able to display the wood for making furniture.

In fact, there are not many people who open a carpenter shop to buy furniture in the countryside. He can also make some farm tools to sell, so he can always earn some money for food and drink.

If he really just farmed at home, his five years of learning the skills would be in vain. Sometimes he thought about it and felt that it was a big loss.

The child has grown up and has his own ideas, so Yan Zhengdao and Zhao Guizhi should not get involved too much. Besides, it was Qiao Qingyun who wanted to build the house, so she could not have any extra opinions.

Yan Zhenshen listened to Yan Zhennan quietly, then spoke: "If you open a carpentry shop near home, try to get it closer to the main road, we can find someone to repair the road leading to the village."

Yan Zhennan felt that what his brother said made sense. In fact, there was no rush to build a house. He just wanted to settle it first.

"Then choose a suitable location first and go to the village chief to decide on it."

Qiao Qingyun is a juren and has achieved great success. No matter how big a house he wants to build, the government will probably allow it.

However, he had no idea of ​​living in a big house and hiring servants. There were only two of them, living in a small courtyard. They could see each other when they opened the door, and they washed clothes and cooked together. Yan Zhennan knocked on his wood, and he read and wrote to the sound of the knocking.

If I were closer to here, I could help with the farm work and eat the food my mother cooked.

Qiao Qingyun couldn't help but smile as he thought about it. He shouldn't be bored with this kind of life.

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, smoke was already rising from the Yan family's kitchen. Yan Zhenshen was going to the county town to sell sheep and pheasants, and Zhao Guizhi went with him.

You always have to go out early to sell things, because if you go too late you may not be able to find a suitable stall.

Yan Zhenshen was driving an ox cart with a sheep tied to the back, but the black-hoofed sheep looked listless and walked very slowly.

The ox cart was moving slowly, so Zhao Guizhi simply jumped off the cart, took a hemp rope and went to drive the black-hoofed sheep, complaining, "It's not even as fast as me walking."

However, they left early, and there were still many stalls in the county town. Zhao Guizhi stayed to sell pheasants, and Yan Zhenshen took Chu Xiao to find the manager of the Lin Mansion.

The steward saw that the black-hoofed sheep was quite large and knew that the hunter was not someone to be trifled with, so he gave the animal six taels of silver without bargaining.

After paying, he still complained that they hadn't delivered any wild animals for a long time, and thought that they had forgotten him as an old customer.

Yan Zhenshen nodded slightly: "My husband is not healthy, so he rarely goes to the mountains. The wild goat we hunted before was injured by the rack, so it was difficult to send it to your house, so I killed it and sold it to the villagers at a low price."

The manager then looked at Chu Xiao and congratulated him with a smile.

Yan Zhenshen and Chu Xiao also expressed their gratitude.

After getting the money, they went back to the market first. On the way, Yan Zhenshen bought two bamboo tubes of sour plum soup, which is only sold in the county town in summer. It is sweet and sour and delicious, and very refreshing.

At this time, Zhao Guizhi was shouting at the crowd.

The eggs laid by domestic chickens are very precious, and women in the house are generally reluctant to kill them for meat.

Some men haven't eaten chicken for several months and are inevitably craving for it. Several men passing by have come to buy chicken.

There are many people in this town who are not short of money. A pheasant and two pounds of wine are always more cost-effective than eating out in a restaurant.

Seeing that the pheasants were selling very quickly, Chu Xiao thought that his third sister would take the initiative and pick out the fattest and largest ones.

Just wait for Xiao Bei to return to the academy and give it to Cheng Xue in two days. As for him, he should wait until Cheng Xue passes March.
