Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 493 Top beam

The Taoist priest teased, "Since you know this, why don't you do more in the future."

Grandpa Zhao also echoed the sentiment. After eating the meals cooked by Dan Niang many times, Lu Chuan could not help it and took the initiative to ask Xu Han to continue cooking.

"Okay, okay. Since you guys want to eat, I'll make more in the future. After I share them out, I'll still be the one cooking for our family."

After getting a satisfactory answer, the Taoist priest smiled even more happily. "You said it, so you are not allowed to regret it."

"No regrets, no regrets."

Dinner ended with everyone chatting and laughing.

At night, the couple hadn't seen each other for several days, so they would naturally talk to each other in private.

Xu Han knelt on the kang, holding Lu Chuan's shoulders, and asked, "I went to the fields today and saw that the crops were ripe. Do you think we should arrange for them to prepare for the autumn harvest?"

Lu Chuan closed his eyes in enjoyment. "Well, it's time to get ready. The rain delayed us for a day or two. Now the ground is probably still very wet and it's hard to work on. How about letting it air dry for a day and start the autumn harvest early the day after tomorrow morning?"

Xu Han thought about it and agreed, "We can start the day after tomorrow. The sun will be bright tomorrow, so we can dry the land and dry the autumn crops."

"Then I will take them to continue building the houses tomorrow, and try to speed up the work so that they can be assigned to other places as soon as possible.

This way the house will be quieter and you won’t be tired from cooking. ”

Xu Han changed her posture and sat directly on the kang. "Cooking is not tiring now. I have Dan Niang and the others to help me with everything. I just need to cook. If you are not used to Dan Niang's cooking, I will cook it in the future.

I've noticed that the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao have obviously been eating less recently, which has caused Ze'er and Mu'er to not eat much either. The two children are in the growth stage, so they get hungry easily, so we can't let them go hungry."

"That's fine, you decide. We have a lot of people in our family now, so just tell them to do anything, don't do everything yourself.

If you have nothing to do, call me and I will go out with you."

"Well, after the autumn harvest, we'll go to the mountains to pick wild fruits. I haven't been to the mountains much this year!"

"Okay, I'll take you there when I'm done."

The two chatted for a while, and Lu Chuan's hands became more and more dishonest. After a while, the temperature in the room rose sharply, and a night of passion...

The next day, Xu Han got up late again as expected. Fortunately, everyone was used to her getting up late, and everyone knew that she liked to sleep in, so no one thought much about it.

Xu Han put on her clothes and walked out of the room. The yard was quiet and no one was around. She turned around and went to the kitchen, only to see that there was rice prepared for her in the pot, which was still hot.

She brought out breakfast, a boiled egg, a bowl of multi-grain porridge and a bun. The bun must have been freshly steamed by Dan Niang that morning and was very soft.

Xu Han picked up some pickled beans for herself and went with the steamed buns.

After eating and drinking, she went to the other side of the valley.

It has been raining during this period and Xu Han has not been here, so naturally she has no idea how far the house has been built.

When I came here today, I saw that all ten houses had been built, but except for the four that were covered with tiles, the rest had not yet started laying tiles.

"You guys are working pretty fast, are you almost done with it?"

Liu Erzhu touched his head in a simple and honest manner and said, "Hehehe, ma'am, you are right, it is time to put up the beams. The Taoist priest said that today is a good day, suitable for putting up the beams, and everyone is waiting! When the auspicious time comes, we can start."

"That's great! It seems I came at the right time. It's such a coincidence that I caught up with it."

When Lu Chuan saw his wife coming over, he walked over and said, "The Taoist priest just said that today is a good day and we can prepare to put up the beams without waiting any longer.

I thought that even though this house is not where we live, it is our house after all, and we can't just not prepare anything!

I was just thinking of asking Dan Niang to go back and look for you, and here you are."

Xu Han nodded after listening and said, "Well, raising the beam is a big deal. Although time is tight, we really can't not prepare anything."

Lu Chuan continued, "You don't have to prepare anything special. Don't we have fruits and other things at home? We also have pheasants and rabbits. There are many things. Just prepare some offerings. We don't care about that much. It's fine as long as it's good enough."

"Okay, I understand. I'll ask Dan Niang and Mrs. Li to go back with me and do it together."

She was about to call for help after she finished speaking, but then she remembered that there were still wild sheep at home that had not been dealt with, so she turned back and said to Lu Chuan, "You can arrange for someone to go home and kill a sheep later. The day of raising the beam is also a big day, and we must not have meat dishes.

Although we won’t hold a big one, we’ll still have some fun, so let’s kill a sheep and have mutton soup for lunch today.”

The wild sheep we hunted yesterday were originally intended to be eaten during the autumn harvest, but now it happens to be the time for harvesting, so we have to enjoy it in advance.

Fortunately, there were many wild sheep hunted, otherwise Xu Han was really afraid that so many people would not be able to eat until the end of the autumn harvest.

"Well, go and take care of your own business. I'll ask Han Qi to go back and deal with it later."

"Okay, don't forget it!" After Xu Han said this, without waiting for Lu Chuan to respond, she called Dan Niang and Mrs. Li and went home.

Fortunately, everything at home was ready-made, and by putting them together, we were able to make the offering.

Mrs. Li and Dan Niang went there to deliver the things, and Xu Han stayed at home waiting for Han Qi to deal with the sheep.

Han Qi had just peeled the mutton when Dan Niang and Li Dasao came back.

"Why are you back? Aren't they going to put up the beams over there?"

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "The master asked us to come back to help you. We can't let you cook for so many people by yourself."

"Hahaha, you guys really came back at the right time. Han Qi just skinned the sheep and there's hot water boiling in the pot. Let's clean out these sheep heads and offal first."

Dan Niang smiled and said, "Okay, we'll wash it. Madam, don't get involved. Just leave it to us."

Xu Han stood up and walked towards the front yard while saying, "Okay, I'll leave these sheep offal to you. Do you know how to wash sheep stomachs and intestines? Make sure you clean them thoroughly!"

Dan Niang was stunned for a moment when she heard this. "I know how to deal with these sheep heads, but what about the sheep stomachs and intestines? Can't we just rinse them with water?"

When Xu Han heard this, she knew that they would not come out with sheep intestines and sheep stomachs, so she turned back.

“The sheep intestines and tripe have a very strong smell and are inedible if not properly processed.

So when handling these things, not only do you have to clean them carefully, you also have to go through special treatments.”
