Chapter 73 Salted Fish and Eggplant
In just half a day, the front house and the backyard, as long as they belonged to the area within the wall, were tidied up.
"Yuan Qiu, you don't have anything in this house. My man is a carpenter and can make all kinds of furniture. Why don't you let him build it for you?" Aunt Chai took Yuan Qiu aside after receiving ten copper coins. Mutter.
"Aunt Chai, I originally wanted to ask Uncle Chai to build furniture for me, but you also know that Yuan Hao and I are now living in Aunt Zhang's thatched cottage, which is really inconvenient. I just want to move in quickly and wait for Uncle Chai If you want to make furniture, you have to wait for a while. Yuan Hao must be unhappy. I really can't do anything about him. I ordered a whole set of furniture in the town according to him yesterday, and it will be delivered to my door tomorrow. Come."
When Aunt Chai heard this, her face immediately turned from sunny to cloudy, and she pursed her lips and said, "You two sisters and brothers just don't know how to live, so live according to your temperament. I'm afraid there won't be enough money to spend."
Yuan Qiu was still smiling and didn't refute her, just listened to her complaints and sent her out the door.
As soon as the people left, Yuan Hao leaned forward and said with a smile: "Sister, you are really good at predicting things, and Aunt Chai really said this. Fortunately, we had the foresight to order the furniture in advance. Otherwise, this carpentry job I will definitely be entangled by her, sister, you don’t know, Uncle Chai’s craftsmanship is so good, he can lower one side while making a stool, I really don’t know whose apprentice he is, isn’t this a blow to the master’s brand.”
Yuan Qiu chuckled, and reproached him: "You can tell this joke at home, but don't tell it outside. I don't think Aunt Chai is easy to mess with. Don't make trouble for yourself."
The two brothers and sisters closed the door and left the house. They came to Uncle Zhang's thatched hut and brought all the things back with a bullock cart. Kang beds were built in the three rooms. Although the ordered bed boards had not been delivered yet, the bedding was spread first. It's a hundred times better to make do with one night's sleep than siblings sleeping in a thatched hut.
According to Yuan Qiu, the house has three bedrooms, one living room, one bathroom and one kitchen. There are two adjacent south-facing rooms with the same size and layout. Yuan Qiu and Yuan Hao each occupy one room, and the other room is opposite Yuan Qiu’s room. , the door is facing the door, and next to it is a bathroom with good airtightness, and you can also put a chamber pot, so you can urinate in the bathroom at night, which is better than going to the toilet outside.
Outside the bathroom is the living room, the living room is very big, Yuan Qiu plans to put a few grand master chairs and small coffee tables in the living room, and hang some beautiful calligraphy and paintings on the walls to make it look elegant.
As soon as the siblings had made their beds, there was a bang on the door outside, accompanied by Lin's shrill voice, the noise was so loud that half the village could hear it.
Yuan Qiu was cutting eggplant and diced fish, and was preparing to make salted fish and eggplant to satisfy Yuan Hao's cravings. When she heard the door call, she didn't react at all, and just cut vegetables on her own.
Yuan Hao walked out from the house, frowned and said, "Why are they here again?"
Yuan Qiu shook his head: "Don't pay attention to them, just treat them like mad dogs barking outside the door, and let's cook our meals."
Yuan Hao chuckled: "I think so too, just leave them alone, as long as we don't open the door, they won't be able to come in."
The siblings lit the fire and the other cooked vegetables. The back kitchen was in full swing, and the smell of salted fish and eggplant wafted far away. Most people in the village could smell this strong and appetizing aroma.
However, Mrs. Lin, who had been knocking on the door and calling, was already thirsty and exhausted, and it was time for dinner. Smelling the fragrance, her stomach kept screaming. The hateful thing was that the people inside seemed to be deaf. Opening the door, the villagers coming and going kept pointing and laughing at her, which made her suffocate for a long time.
