Lin Shuyun didn't give him a chance to speak at all.
“I want all the best furniture. You can’t use bad wood to make it, so I have to buy the wood. If you don’t accept it, I’ll find someone else to make the furniture. If it doesn’t look good, I’ll cry. It’s a waste of money, and you’ll have to redo it for me.”
Lin Hongzhi was both amused and exasperated, and could only stuff the silver notes into his pocket.
Jiang Changtian had already drawn up the blueprints for the furniture he wanted to make.
Lin Dahai, who was standing to the side, saw this but hesitated to speak. After thinking for a moment, he realized that his daughter was very opinionated now and might not listen to him even if he spoke.
So I changed the subject, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is in a couple of days, remember to come home and visit."
"I know dad."
The father and son walked back, leaving the donkey cart for Lin Shuyun, making it easier for them to go to town to buy things.
The men and children from my third aunt's family were sent back home after dinner.
But not long after, my third uncle brought over two large loads of firewood.
Auntie San said with a smile, "Cooking with more people uses up more firewood. My old man is free, and with such good meat and vegetables, we can't let him eat and drink for free."
Qin Niangzi whispered that this third aunt was quite good at dealing with people.
After eating this meal, the people building the house worked extra hard in the afternoon.
However, Lin Shuyun noticed with her sharp eyes that Jin She did not come in the afternoon.
The other four seemed to have nothing to do, so Old Xu directed them to go hunting in the mountains.
Old Xu's exact words: "You guys are getting in the way standing here. If you have nothing better to do, go and catch a few rabbits. That way, you can save some money on meat for your family!"
Gu Ru brewed medicine for Gu Chen, and then she and Gu Bao kept looking for things to do.
After washing the pots and pans, Auntie San and Mrs. Tan started preparing the afternoon's meals in the kitchen.
Lin Shuyun asked, "What are we having for lunch? Steamed buns?"
"What?!" Mrs. Tan exclaimed in surprise.
"My goodness! Sister-in-law, who's steaming buns? There are so many people here, how many buns would that be? It's just some boiled sweet potatoes or potatoes!"
"Sweet potatoes?" This time, Lin Shuyun was taken aback.
Is it really that casual?
"Yes, that's how everyone does it. If you were to steam buns, with so many men, you'd have to steam thirty or forty, and that would take so much flour! It would eat up a family's food supply for months," Mrs. Tan said dramatically.
Lin Shuyun nodded, "Okay, then let's cook these and make a cold dish. These vegetables will spoil easily if we don't eat them."
There was plenty of meat in the lunch, so there won't be any meat in the afternoon meal.
Food must be eaten; otherwise, it's a waste if it goes bad.
Tan didn't waste any more words. She did whatever her master told her to do. Anyway, she ate quite a lot, and the man and the child also ate.
But in her heart, she still felt that the Lin family was too wasteful and didn't know how to manage money.
You have to be frugal to make ends meet.
She was a master at managing money and saving; few women in the village could do it better than her. Thinking of this, Tan felt a surge of pride.
Although it was just a simple vegetarian dish, I used plenty of oil and seasonings, so even vegetarian dishes taste delicious.
When everyone ate the meal in the afternoon, they all praised it highly.
Lin Shuyun was resting under the shade of a tree when Qingfeng and the other three returned, carrying a large wild boar with them.
Along the way, it attracted a lot of onlookers from the villagers.
Old Li, who was building the house, couldn't help but shout, "Jiang Xiucai, your friends are really amazing! They even carried back such a big wild boar!"
With her baby face, Tingni smiled and explained to everyone she met, "It was just a lucky coincidence that I caught it!"
"Everyone, let's build a good house for Brother Jiang, and we'll use this wild boar as an extra meal for everyone tomorrow!"
The men were overjoyed to hear this.
Of all the families building houses in the village, Jiang Changtian's family had the best food. If the food was this good on the second day, then they'd be eating wild boar the very next day.
Good heavens, the ceremony for raising the roof beam will be even more lavish!
Lin Shuyun remained silent for a while after seeing this huge thing.
Actually, wild boar meat isn't very tasty; rabbit meat is much better.
"Sister-in-law, we caught a wild boar, so we'll trouble you to cook it!" Tingni said cheerfully.
He can only call Jiang "Brother" and "Sister-in-law" when there are many people around, and he has to take advantage of that.
"No trouble at all, you guys clean it up!" Lin Shuyun didn't want to clean it up; it smelled too bad.
The four grown men worked quite carefully, and with guidance from someone in the village, they cleaned the wild boar thoroughly and dismembered it into a large basin.
Mo Yun was about to throw away the remaining entrails when Jiang Changtian stopped her, saying, "Clean them up and keep them for us to eat!"
Tingni exclaimed, "Little...Brother Jiang, are you running a fever? You're going to eat this? It smells so bad, how can you eat it!"
Old Xu came over and said, "What do you guys know? This is what makes it delicious when stir-fried. It smells bad but tastes amazing. Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and clean it up! Wash it thoroughly, or you won't get any food tomorrow!"
Ting Ni:......
That old man is strangely good at ordering people around.
Well, let's just say we have to get to work.
The four of them covered their faces with handkerchiefs and began to tidy up, but the golden snake still did not appear.
The house was bustling with activity, becoming the focus of the entire village.
Mrs. Xu couldn't contain herself any longer and sneaked over. As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw so many people in the yard, processing pork.
He chuckled awkwardly, "I heard you're building a house. Even though you didn't invite me, I still had to come and see."
As soon as he finished speaking, he swallowed several times. Good heavens, the bowl was full of meat!
I'll probably send some home too!
Madam Qin snorted coldly, "Is there any need for you to pretend to be kind!"
Ms. Xu turned and ran away.
The sound startled Third Aunt, who came out of the kitchen. "Has the sun risen in the west? Is she up to something again?"
"Ignore her." Lin Shuyun didn't take Xu Shi seriously.
My third aunt finished cleaning up in the kitchen and it was time for her to go home.
"Third Aunt, here's today's wages." Lin Shuyun went to her room, actually to take the money out of her spatial storage.
In the village, wages are paid on the same day for all work.
When Auntie San saw it, she realized that the wages were twenty coins more than originally agreed upon.
"This is too much!" he said, hurriedly counting out the extra money.
Lin Shuyun pushed her hand back, "This is for my third aunt's vegetables. I can't just take all those vegetables from you for nothing."
"How can this be! You're being too polite with me, child. These are just cheap trinkets. My whole family eats here, and you're trying to charge me for this little bit of food!"
"You can keep this because of the friendship between me and your aunt. We'll need the vegetables from your field tomorrow."
My aunt declined for a while, but eventually accepted it.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went out.
Madam Tan couldn't help but say happily, "Mother, you're so smart! I didn't expect my sister-in-law to actually give me money."
The third aunt glanced at her daughter-in-law and said, "I already told you your sister-in-law is a generous person, keep arguing!"
Madam Tan smiled ingratiatingly, "Mother, I was wrong. From now on, our family will listen to you."
Lin Shuyun didn't care about these words. Everyone has their own ulterior motives when they get along. As long as they don't harm the interests she cares about, it's fine.
When I went to bed at night, I suddenly heard noises outside.
"Old man, what are you doing?"
The furtive Xu family member was so frightened by Ting Ni's sudden appearance that she almost fainted!
"A ghost...a ghost!"
"Look what she's holding!" Qingfeng's expression changed instantly when he saw what Xu was holding.
"Scissors! She wants to bury scissors under the house! Oh, she actually came up with such a harmful method!" Tingni's expression changed as well.
Ms. Xu screamed and cursed.
Yin Zhu frowned. "This mouth is too noisy. Kill it!"
