Chapter 19 Carpentry

“The oil used to make multi-grain pancakes is really small.”

Shen Yueyao can make several pancakes with just a little bit of oil.

"If it's made green, it should make people more appetizing."

In her previous life, Shen Yueyao liked to use vegetables and fruits to fry colorful juices and noodles. Whether making noodles or pasta, adding color always increased people's appetite. It looked good and people were willing to eat more.

"If I can earn more tomorrow, I want to make green dumplings for dinner tomorrow night."

Shen Yueyao muttered to herself while busy making pancakes.

Dabao and Erbao worked quickly as well. They got some vegetables from the garden, washed them, and brought them into the house for Shen Yueyao.

Shen Yueyao put some braised food in each multi-grain pancake and rolled it up with vegetables.

Although the taste may be a little strange, it is still good to eat it this way.

One person can eat two and be very full.

Dabao and Erbao had put some vegetables in the pot and were about to go to the yard.

But the two of them smelled the fragrance and couldn't help but stare blankly at the pancakes on the iron plate.

I was so stunned by what I saw that I forgot to react.

Erbao's saliva was flowing.

It smells nice.

Dabao also stared with his eyes wide open, without blinking.

Shen Yueyao looked at their dazed expressions and thought they were so cute and adorable.

She used a spatula to scoop up the freshly made one into several pieces, placed them on a small grate, and handed them to the two treasures, saying, "Try it first, it's a little hot."

The two treasures’ eyes were glued to the pancakes, but their hands were stretched back as if they couldn’t reach out to grab them.

They knew it was food made for grandma and they couldn't eat it.

Eat it, what if grandma has nothing to eat?

So they held back their saliva and didn't reach out their hands.

Shen Yueyao didn't know what they were thinking. After thinking for a while, she changed her words and said, "Oh, this is the first time I've made this kind of pancake. I don't know how it tastes or how salty it is. Please help me eat some and taste it. This way, I can make better pancakes for your grandma."

The two treasures blinked their big eyes and looked at Shen Yueyao.

Shen Yueyao showed a very sincere and innocent look.

The two of them were ready to pick it up and eat it.

Dabao took a piece first, blew on it hard, and gave it to his younger brother when he felt it was no longer hot.

Erbao took it and said, "Brother, eat first."

"Let's eat together."

The two of them are twins, and even if they are very hungry, they always eat together.

The two of them took a bite, and Erbao couldn't help but exclaimed "Wow" in admiration.

After Dabao took a few bites, his eyes sparkled.

The dimples at the corners of her mouth move, which looks very pretty.

Shen Yueyao continued to make multi-grain pancakes while watching the expressions of the two people.

It seems they like to eat it.

Seeing the two children enjoying the food, Shen Yueyao felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart, and felt happier than if she had eaten it herself.

Maybe this is the bond of blood.

Shen Yueyao asked gently, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

Dabao blinked and nodded at Shen Yueyao.

Shen Yueyao smiled and said, "Well, go sit on the stool and eat. There will be more later. You can eat as much as you want."

This thing is quick and easy to make.

Soon, Shen Yueyao made fifteen pancakes.

This is enough food for the whole family.

After it was done, Shen Yueyao put it in a clean basket.

A layer of clean cloth was placed under the basket, and the pancakes were placed on top.

Shen Yueyao looked at Dabao and Erbao, who had already eaten half of their meal, and said, "Let's go, let's go to grandma's house for dinner."

Dabao and Erbao followed Shen Yueyao obediently.

When she reached the door, Shen Yueyao closed it and thought for a moment before saying, "Is your father at your grandmother's?"

Dabao shook his head and said, "Dad went to the village head uncle's house."

The sound is crisp and soft, and it sounds nice.

Shen Yueyao wanted to hear more of the two treasures' voices.

However, it is not difficult to guess what Su Xueyi went to the headman's house for.

Su Xueyi is well-educated, and sometimes when the village head needs to write something or calculate complicated accounts, he will ask Su Xueyi to do it.

It was also because of this that the Su family was able to quickly integrate into Liuhe Village after leaving the labor camp.

Moreover, Su Xueyi saved the life of the village head's second son, Lin Chi, so the village head would often take care of the Su family.

The villagers would not cause trouble for the Su family.

Shen Yueyao said: "Then I will leave a letter for your father first."

Shen Yueyao wrote a few large characters on a branch in the yard, "Let's go to mother's house for dinner."

The people of Liuhe Village were quite nice, but since there were so many braised dishes in the house and the aroma was still very strong, Shen Yueyao still locked the door and put the key in a place known to the family.

Afterwards, she carried the basket and took the two treasures to Old Lady Meng's house.

When Zhou came back from the river pushing the cart, she smelled a fragrance. She had been washing clothes all afternoon and was very hungry. Now, when she smelled the fragrance, she felt like she couldn't walk anymore.

Dabao and Erbao looked at Zhou and called her aunt affectionately.

The main reason was that Aunt Zhou would secretly give them some food when she saw that they were very hungry.

Zhou smiled brightly as she looked at Dabao and Erbao.

But he still said to Shen Yueyao: "Sister Shen, what delicious food did you make?"

Shen Yueyao smiled and said, "It's nothing delicious. I just made some pancakes with whole grain flour. Now, Daya is sick, so I wanted to make some food to nourish her."

Zhou was stunned again. As a neighbor, she knew Shen Yueyao's personality best.

Cooking? Shen Yueyao doesn't know how to cook.

Why is it so hard to believe that Shen Yueyao cares about Su Daya!

Shen Yueyao looked at the cart pushed by Zhou and became a little excited, "Sister Zhou, did you buy this cart?"

Zhou said, "I didn't buy it. My sister made it. Even though it's my sister, this cart is very convenient to use. It's faster to push vegetables and grain back than to carry them on a shoulder pole, and it takes less effort."

When talking about her sister, Zhou felt uncomfortable and heartbroken.

Zhou's father was a carpenter with good skills, but her father only had two daughters. She was not interested in carpentry and could not learn it, but her sister was talented and able to endure hardships.

In order to support the family, her sister learned carpentry and found a live-in son-in-law.

It is true that carpentry can earn you a lot of money, better than farming, but my sister has to endure more hardships and a lot of rumors.

But Zhou thought her sister was good and she admired her sister.

Shen Yueyao asked, "If I prepare some wood and make a small cart, how much would it cost?"

Zhou said, "If someone else did it, it would cost at least five or six hundred coins, but my sister can do it for a cheap price, only two hundred coins."

"But these woods are hard to work with."

When Shen Yueyao heard this, she thought two hundred coins was cheaper than she had thought. She thought it would cost several taels of silver.

Within her acceptable range.

I just don't know how much it would cost to build a small food truck used for setting up stalls.

In this era, there were not many people who knew carpentry skills, and there were only a few carpenters in the surrounding villages.

Ready-made furniture is not sold in the surrounding villages or towns. When people need furniture, they find a carpenter to make it for them.

If you need iron tools or something, you can go to the blacksmith shop to make them.
