Chapter 66 We Have Savings



Aunt Yang was so angry that her face turned blue. Xiangnan, this bitch, dared to give her a cold look. As long as she didn't agree, she wouldn't be able to build it.

"Yes, we all oppose it." Feng Meili also stood up. She came here to cause trouble today, and she would never give up unless she got any benefits.

Xiangnan sighed to Zhang Ming: "Village Chief, forget it, I won't build this workshop anymore. I'd better go to the town to get a piece of land."

Xiangnan was about to leave when Zhang Ming quickly asked his wife to hold her back: "In this village, the minority obeys the majority. What's the point of them opposing it?"

"Yes, Xiangnan, we all agree. Their opposition affects our interests, and we will not sit idly by."

"That's right, you deserve it for not getting any benefits for the bad things you did. You won't get rich if you try to stop us. Bah, I wonder who of you dares to stop Xiangnan from building a workshop.

I sit here every day, guarding her. If anyone dares to stop me, I will fight her to the death."

Aunt Yang was also very tough. She shouted, "If I can't get a share, then don't even think about getting one. Come on, let's see who dares to let her build it!"

"Yang Shengli, you're a bully in the village, and now you're stopping us from getting rich. I'll strangle you to death."

Someone shouted and rushed towards Yang Shengli, and the two sides started fighting.

Of course, the result came out very quickly. There were only a few people like Yang Shengli who opposed it, so how could they possibly beat the hundreds of other village women?

This is the case when the man has not taken any action.

Even Li Lanjiang had two bloody scratches on his face.

She was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

Finally, Zhang Ming decided that Yang Shengli and his friends could not make money by making bean curd sheets, and Murakami compensated them with two yuan each per month and forbade them from making trouble again.

No matter how unwilling Yang Shengli and his men were, they dared not make any more trouble. They simply could not defeat so many people.

He left angrily.

"If you need any help in building Xiangnan's workshop, just tell me. The sooner your workshop is built, the better." An enthusiastic aunt came forward and asked.

Xiangnan shook his head: "I don't care about the construction of the workshop. I'll leave it all to Brother Da Lei. If you want a job, you can find him."

The more people there are, the faster it can be built. Anyway, the money she pays is based on the square meter.

Women in rural areas can also build houses, and they are just as good as men at carrying bricks.

At one time, many people went to find Zhang Dalei. For fifty cents a day, there was nothing they couldn't do to earn money right at their doorstep.

There is still some time before the rice is harvested, and there is not much work in the fields now.

When there is no work in the fields in the countryside, people are very idle. If they can use this free time to make money, everyone would like to do so.

Except for a few individuals, most people in this era are very hardworking.

Xiangnan called out to Aunt Xie, "You raise geese at home, right? I want to buy two. The doctor from the army came to check on my husband's leg today, and I want to make something delicious to thank him."

Aunt Xie smiled and said, "I'm feeding them. I was planning to take them to town to sell these days."

Aunt Xie happily brought Xiangnan home. Her geese were kept in the enclosure, clucking with their long necks stretched out.

Aunt Xie asked her husband to catch the goose, but the goose was very ferocious and she didn't dare to catch it herself.

Even Aunt Xie's husband was pecked several times when he caught a goose.

Two geese, one weighs seven and a half pounds, the other weighs eight and a half pounds, two yuan per pound, thirty yuan and forty cents.

Aunt Xie wiped off the four hairs readily, and her husband also enthusiastically helped her pluck the goose feathers, cleaned them all and let her take them home.

Xiangnan took the geese back and bought two ducks from Aunt Zhou's house when he passed by her.

There are quite a lot of people eating lunch today. We just started work, so she wants to treat us to a start-of-work lunch at noon.

Others can also follow Doctor Wu to eat Beijing roast duck.

One of the two ducks was given to Doctor Wu, and the other was given to others to eat.

I looked at the time and it was already nine o'clock. I had to hurry and marinate the roast duck, otherwise I would miss lunch.

After returning home, Xiangnan went into the room and told Huo De what had just happened. She told her that the matter was resolved and asked him to rest assured, then she went into the kitchen to prepare the roast duck.

Li Mo and Zhou Xiumei can make everything else, and Xiangnan will make the goose and roast duck himself.

Zhang Changfu had already helped clean the duck. Xiangnan added some spices such as cinnamon bark and star anise into the soy sauce. Fortunately, all these spices were available for making the marinade.

Soak the duck in it and marinate it for at least an hour.

Roast duck needs to be brushed with honey, but there was no honey at home, so I could only melt white sugar into syrup and use the syrup to brush the duck.

It is best to marinate the duck for two hours, but since we were in a hurry to eat lunch, Xiangnan only marinated it for an hour and a half, and the taste was not much different.

The duck is brushed with syrup and hung over the fire to roast. Hey, the roast duck roasted over wood in the countryside is authentic and definitely not worse than the one in Jinghai.

After baking for half an hour, Xiangnan brushed another layer of syrup on it and continued baking.

The aroma attracted the three little ones to sit by the fire, and each of them brought a small stool and watched with their mouths watering.

Not to mention the three little ones, even Li Mo and Aunt Zhou came over to watch several times while they were cooking.

Aunt Zhou exclaimed, "It smells so good, it must be delicious."

"Auntie, is it ripe? Can we eat it now?" Xiang Lanxi's little face was full of anticipation, and her grape-like eyes showed her desire to eat it.

Xiangnan pinched her cheek and said, “Not yet. It needs to be baked until it’s golden brown and the skin becomes crispy.

Little Blue Creek couldn't wait any longer and went to eat a cake, the one with cream."

She shook her little head towards Lan Xi and said, "Aunt, I just finished my cake. I want to save some room for the roast duck."

Xiangnan rubbed her forehead and roasted two, thinking that she wouldn't get much with the three small ones.

There are so many people working today, we can't not give them food.
