The little girl from a farm family has a big wish to make a fortune by farming and picking mushrooms

Chapter 432 Start of Construction

"Second cousin, if Chengzhou wasn't so far away I would have wanted to go and see it. It's a pity that my father doesn't allow me to go."

Ning An held her chin with a tearful expression on her face. She was bored to death in Kyoto.

It’s better now that my cousins ​​are here. If a war breaks out, there won’t be anyone to talk and play with in Kyoto.

"Chengzhou is a long and remote place, you should just stay in Kyoto. If you feel bored, let Ajian accompany you more."

Ning An nodded obediently.

"Second cousin, if you get anything delicious or fun, don't forget to bring some back to me. You have to submit official documents to the emperor every month anyway, so how about bringing them over when the time comes?"

Qi Rui took a sip of tea and nodded slightly in agreement.

"That's fine, as long as you listen to your father and brother and don't run around."

"Don't worry, I'm the most obedient one."

Only when Rufeng came back with the things did they finally go home.

-

After the Lantern Festival, the mine started working with drums and gongs.

As soon as the mine started operating, the Zhou family became busy again.

From cleaning to buying vegetables and meat, the whole family joined in the work.

Xu Lingshan has never done these things, but she can still help pick and cut vegetables.

Sitting in the house with some elders from the village picking and cutting vegetables and listening to their daily conversations, I didn’t feel too tired after a busy day and it was actually quite interesting.

At dinner time, Zhou Mingzhi saw that his daughter-in-law's hands were red. He thought she was cold, so he hurried to warm her hands.

But when I folded my hands together, I found that they were warm.

"Brother Dazhi, I'm very close to the brazier in the house, so I'm not cold at all. Besides, those aunties and grandmas are very nice to me. It's very interesting to listen to them talk, and I can also learn about our village."

"That's good. If you're hungry or thirsty, remember to eat and drink. Grandma always reminds us that our family runs a restaurant, so we can't let ourselves get hungry or thirsty. Eat when you want to, drink when you want to, don't be embarrassed."

"Yes, I've remembered it all. If there's anything I don't understand, I'll ask you in advance." Xu Lingshan said with a blush.

The people in the Zhou family had been busy all day, and after dinner they quickly packed up and went home.

It was Uncle Xiaofan's first day here too. Old Mrs. Zhou was afraid that it would be too cold in winter and some big fish would come down from the mountain to look for food, so she asked the three brothers of the Zhou family to take turns to keep watch at night.

One more person means more strength when encountering danger.

As soon as Lao Zhou's restaurant opened, people from the barracks started coming over to eat.

Although the food in the barracks has become much richer with the presence of potatoes, peppers and vermicelli, compared with Lao Zhou's dishes, the restaurant's dishes are still more appealing.

When Lord Chengfeng brought his people over for dinner, Zhou Mingshu also asked when Lord Qi would be back.

Chengfeng would not hide it, so he said that the adults were on the way.

If everything goes well and there are no obstacles on the road, we will reach Chengzhou in less than half a month.

After all, going and coming are two different things. When you go, you carry baggage and the vehicle moves slowly.

When they came, they were all traveling light, for both men and horses had had a good year and had the strength to run fast.

"Haha, okay. I'll go and wish you a happy new year when you come back."

Everyone responded with laughter.

We haven’t been to a restaurant for a long time, and everyone’s cheeks were full of food and their mouths were full of oil.

Even with the same ingredients, the taste of this big pot rice and the stir-fry is different.

"Miss Mingshu, I almost forgot to tell you something. I took my brothers to the mountains to hunt recently and got a lot of good prey. I was thinking of sending you some to try these two days, and it just so happened that you guys were open. I'll have someone send it to you after we finish our meal."

"Okay, thank you then."

I thought they were some rabbits or roe deer, but the officers actually threw in a few sheep and deer, including half a wild boar.

……

The people in the Zhou family were dumbfounded when they saw the things in the yard.

So much meat!

You can’t finish it in one or two meals.

"Sanya, what do you think we should do with these things?"

Old Mrs. Zhou asked her granddaughter beside her.

When it comes to who is the best eater in the family, it must be San Ya.

"Tsk, indeed, everything hunted in the mountains is good stuff. If we sell them, it would be a waste of Master Chengfeng's kindness. I think we should keep them for ourselves."

"Okay, then keep it for yourself and let your uncle peel off the skin and pickle it if necessary and hang it if necessary."

After receiving the instructions, everyone hurried to pack up these things.

These sheepskins and deerskins are both good leathers. If they are processed well, they can be kept to make a few fur collars for the girls at home.

So Zhou Laosan and the others peeled the fruits very carefully.

Xu Lingshan was very curious about these things. She had never seen deer and wild boars, especially this wild boar, which looked quite creepy.

"Let's have a venison hotpot tonight. I heard it's very nutritious. It's hard to eat such fresh venison on weekdays."

Hahaha Zhou Mingshu smiled mysteriously. This venison nourishes the spleen and stomach, and also nourishes breast milk and yang...

Zhou Laosan and the other men also laughed, "What nonsense are you talking about, young girl? Are you going to get married in the future?"

Zhou Mingshu was sneered at by the adults, and he smiled embarrassedly and slipped into the kitchen to prepare the hot pot base.

Not long after, he ran out again, "Uncle, keep the deer blood in a basin. You can make deer blood wine."

"Don't worry, I won't waste even a hair."

The men in the backyard all laughed, thinking that all the hard work was worth it.

You can not only eat venison hotpot, but also mutton hotpot. No matter which one you eat, it is a good thing for warming and nourishing the body.

Zhou Mingshu picked a slightly spicy soup base, ensuring that everyone can adapt to the spiciness.

Before she could pay attention to the tidbits, Zhou Mingqi and his brothers had already prepared them.

Xu Lingshan had never done this before, but she watched and slowly learned how to do it, which helped a lot.

"Once these are done, we can prepare to cut the meat. I'll go sharpen the knife."

Zhou Mingshu picked up a heavy kitchen knife and sharpened it back and forth on the whetstone. Soon it became shiny.

Xu Lingshan stood aside and watched. San Ya, such a pretty little girl, was sharpening a large kitchen knife in her hand, which made her look like a heroic woman. It was fun and funny, and at the same time, she seemed very powerful.

If it were her, her hands would probably hurt after just a few rubs.

"Sister-in-law, are you curious why I need to sharpen this knife when it's so sharp?"

"Sanya, why?"

"Wait a minute and you'll find out."

Zhou Mingshu wiped the knife clean, picked up a skinned deer leg, peeled out the leg bones and began to slice the meat.

"Sister-in-law, look."

Following Zhou Mingshu's movements, Xu Lingshan saw the almost transparent piece of flesh, and she couldn't help but exclaim.

"Sanya, how can the meat be cut so thinly?!"
