Chapter 177 There are meat, vegetables and dry food
After the pork intestines are fried until fragrant and the fat is released, Li Laosan pours white cabbage into the pot.
"Fuck!"
Li Laosan kept stirring with the spatula in his hand, the aroma filled the air and the steam rose.
After the white pine was put into water, Li Laosan put the kneaded pancake on the edge of the pot, then added an appropriate amount of water into the pot, covered the pot and simmered it on low heat.
At this time, the dock was busy. Datou looked at the dwindling garbage pile and said to Li Laosan with satisfaction: "At this rate, we can clean it up by the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Li Laosan said happily: "Then I have to talk to Yu Baoer and the others tonight. The construction period will be advanced."
"Bang, bang, bang!" As soon as noon arrived, Datou rang the gong used for messaging and shouted, "It's time to call it a day! It's time to call it a day! Everyone, wash your hands and go home to get your bowls and utensils for dinner!"
The young guys cheered, dropped their burdens and ran away. After all, they were all from the same village and no one would steal.
I didn't feel tired from working this morning, but I was really tempted by the smell of meat.
"You are such a jerk!" The village chief scolded with a smile and hurried home.
When they started to get their food, a few boys were a little impatient and tried to push forward, but the village chief glared at them fiercely and they became quiet.
In the end, everyone asked the village chief to eat first. The village chief did not refuse. After eating, he still had to look after everyone. This job was not easy to come by, and the income of the whole village could not be affected by the mistakes of a few individuals.
It is quite tiring for Li Laosan to cook for the big pot, so Datou takes the initiative to serve the dishes and lets Li Laosan just take the pancakes.
The rice is distributed in fixed quantities, two spoons of vegetables per person, one spoon of pork intestines stewed with white pine, one spoon of radish stewed with pork offal, and two black flour pancakes.
The village chief's eyes were red as he held the food in his hands.
"Third brother, is your young master a kind person?"
The islanders who hibernate on the islands eat at most two meals a day, which consist of seaweed, salted fish and thin black flour porridge. These two large black flour pancakes are enough food for a family of five for a day, not to mention meat and vegetables.
Although it is pig offal, the islanders cannot afford it, and they don’t know how to cook it. This pig offal is more fragrant than meat, and it is greasy, making people drool just by looking at it.
Li Laosan smiled and said, "Our Master is naturally a good person. As long as everyone works hard, the Master will not treat you unfairly."
"Well, can I take this food back and eat it with my family?"
After the village chief asked this question, his old face turned red.
The master provides them with such good food so that they will have the energy to work. If they take it back and share it, will the master suspect that they are too skinny and weak and cannot do their work well?
Li Laosan paused for a moment while handing out the pancakes, then said solemnly, "Just take it back. What I give you is your family's property, and the young master won't ask about it."
There was a cheer coming from behind. In fact, the other villagers thought the same way. They didn't want to eat alone and planned to share it with their families.
So, after each meal, one person disappeared, and soon there was no one left on the construction site.
Finally, there was some food left, so Li Laosan and Datou found some basins and bowls to put it in and went to the village chief's house to warm up.
The village chief let the two into the boat and said, "I was inconsiderate. It's cold outside. Come to Uncle Jiu's boat to eat next time."
At this time, the village chief's bowl of food was already on the table, and the two black-flour pancakes were divided into four portions.
Xinxin was happily eating a piece of pancake with her stew. When she saw Li Laosan coming in, she happily shouted, "Uncle, have some pancake."
Li Laosan and Datou put the food they brought on the table.
"Xinxin, be good. Uncle has more here. Eat with your heart's content. You will grow taller after eating. In the future, when wooden dragonflies are hung on the trees, you won't need your uncle to help you get them."
Xinxin seemed to have thought of something happy and giggled happily.
Looking at the two pots of greasy dishes and five or six flatbreads on the table, the village chief's wife looked at the village chief embarrassedly.
The village chief knew that Li Laosan was taking this opportunity to help their family, so he did not refuse and said, "Let's eat. Don't delay our afternoon work."
Datou was sensible and gave each of them a piece of bread, and kept urging them to eat more.
"Everyone, eat more. Our Master's meals are settled on the same day, not overnight."
In Fushui Village, Li Yuer was picking whale bones. They picked out a few small pieces.
"These pieces are small, perfect for carving accessories," said Li Yuer.
Li Erlang held a piece of whale bone in his hand and looked at it carefully. "This one is white. It will definitely look good when carved. I thought you forgot what you promised before."
Li Yuer had promised Li Erlang before that she would carve a whale accessory for each of them, but she had been busy and it was Chinese New Year, so she really had no time.
"I didn't forget. When you set up your stall, give the wooden man Zhang a gift. I have already drawn the blueprints. Just let him carve according to them."
"Okay." Li Erlang suddenly remembered something and said, "My aunt's hairpin is back, but the other party refused to return the earrings. The village chief helped to get them back. That family is so shameless to throw a tantrum."
Li Yuer thought for a moment and asked, "What does the aunt-in-law mean? Is she still in contact with them?"
"My aunt cried and said she would not come back to visit me during the Chinese New Year. Her mother didn't even look at her and kept scolding her for being a money-loser, ungrateful and saying all sorts of dirty things. My aunt was really sad this time.
He kowtowed three times to his parents in public, saying that he would not return to their parents' home and asked them to take care of themselves.
Li Yuer was filled with sorrow. The preference for sons over daughters has existed in every dynasty. According to a news report in his previous life, an old man hacked to death his daughter and son-in-law, who were postdoctoral students and had just returned from a foreign country to visit relatives, in order to get their sister to help her brother buy a house. Their son had only been born not long ago.
In court, the old man said frankly that he was innocent and did not regret killing his daughter and son-in-law.
Li Erlang recalled the news he had heard in the morning and said, "Did you know that Sun Dalang was redeemed, but his leg was broken. It is unclear whether it can be healed in the future. The Sun family used all their savings to save him, but they have no money left to treat his leg, so they are borrowing money from every household.
Mother-in-law Sun even came to ask for a favor, saying that she was willing to marry Sun Mingzhu, but she wanted a betrothal gift of 20 taels, which my aunt flatly refused.
Li Yuer's mouth opened into an O shape in shock. There were still such shameless people in this world. Not to mention that they had betrayed and blackmailed her, the fact that her cousin didn't like Sun Mingzhu at all made it impossible for them to do that.
Li Erlang had a strange smile on his face, and he leaned in and whispered, "You didn't see it. Let me tell you, the Sun family's so-called pearl is dark and fat, with a face as big as a basin, eyes as small as Grandma Sun's, turning around cunningly, with a big mouth and the corners of her mouth pressed down.
What's even more infuriating is that she has an arrogant attitude, as if it's unfair for her to be with my cousin. She doesn't even greet elders when she sees them, and she grabs the delicious food on the table as soon as she sees it."
As he spoke, Li Erlang hugged his shoulders exaggeratedly, as if he had goose bumps all over his body.
"puff!"
Li Yuer burst out laughing, "Brother, I'm just curious, what kind of person will you find in the future?"
"Hey Yu Baoer, why are you making fun of your brother? I will definitely find someone who is gentle, virtuous, beautiful and good-looking."
Li Yuer ignored him and held Xiao Huang in his arms and fed him pancakes. The man and the dog were having a lot of fun.
