Chapter 36 The troublemaker is here
Gu Xiaoxi had her back to everyone and didn't see this scene. She gave the two chicken legs in the bowl to her two daughters, then took the chicken out of the pot and put it on the table.
"Eat, no one is allowed to leave any food behind today." She had only one request.
"When will you change your wasteful habits?" Chai said as she picked up a piece of chicken and stuffed it into her mouth.
This taste...
It was so delicious, and tasted completely different from the chicken they made before.
Seeing the expression on his wife's face, Gu He also ate a piece, and then nodded repeatedly: "Delicious, Xiaoxi, your meat is so delicious."
"Dad, Mom, if it's delicious, eat more." Gu Xiaoxi said.
After hearing this, Chai picked up the bowl for Dani and placed it in front of her daughter: "You eat too. You've been the one who's worked the hardest these days."
"Mom, this is for Dani. Dani is too thin and obviously malnourished." Gu Xiaoxi was really impressed by her mother. How could she steal something from a child?
In fact, Chai was not being mean to her granddaughter; she was just teaching her eldest daughter-in-law a lesson.
After hearing her daughter say this, she placed the bowl in front of Dani and said, "Remember your aunt's kindness!"
Yeah yeah yeah!
After hearing this, Dani nodded repeatedly, then reached out and picked up the chicken wings with a smile and started eating.
When Xue heard what her mother-in-law said, she felt a little guilty.
However, this did not affect her from eating the meat. After she came to her senses, she started to eat heartily.
After eating and drinking their fill, the whole family had a look of satisfaction on their faces.
After resting for a while, everyone went to the yard to peel thorn balls, while Gu Xiaoxi kept his uncle behind to inquire about some things.
"Uncle, I'd like to ask you, if we want to build two courtyards like this at the foot of the mountain, how much silver would it cost?"
Seeing that his niece was interested in this, Gu An made a rough estimate: "If it's a loess house like this, it will cost about twenty taels of silver.
If it's a brick and tile house, it would be about eighty taels."
"Are bricks more expensive or tiles more expensive?" Gu Xiaoxi asked again.
"Tiles are not expensive, but bricks are very expensive. Look at the villages around here, how many families can build brick and tile houses like that?" Gu An told his eldest niece everything he knew.
Gu Xiaoxi chuckled after hearing this and said, "But, what if I knew how to break bricks?"
Gu An's eyes lit up after hearing this. He never thought that his niece had such ability. Why was he a little bit unbelievable?
"Uncle, if you don't believe me, I'll go over and show you after the repairs here are done." Gu Xiaoxi said with a giggle.
Seeing his niece so confident, Gu An said with a smile: "It will be completed in the next two days, and we can move in in a few days. I'm waiting for you to show your skills."
Gu Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes and smiled. There weren't many people in her family, so building a house was not easy.
However, she has to have some money. Even if bricks are free, tiles still require money.
In addition, the whole family needs food and drink, and winter is coming soon, so we need to buy more quilts and cotton clothes at home.
I'm afraid that the change will eventually add up to a lot of money.
After asking all the questions she wanted to ask, she got up and went to the yard to help.
It’s fine to keep the chestnuts peeled in cold weather for a few days. Let’s get together and peel all the prickly chestnuts in the yard before going to bed.
…
The next day, Gu Xiaoxi taught his two brothers some basic skills and went up the mountain. He came back at noon and brought back four large baskets of chestnuts. He skipped lunch and went up the mountain again.
She tried her best to make the most of her time, digging herbs and looking for chestnut trees. She worked hard on all of these.
In the afternoon, Ye Lixuan was taken out to get some fresh air, eat and drink. Judging from the speed at which his wounds were recovering, he could be let go in a few days.
If he didn't go to find money, he would have to waste the food she had.
Although there is food in the space warehouse, this place is too poor and she doesn't have much money in her pocket, so it's better to save it.
After a few days of rest, Ye Lixuan is in really good shape today.
Gu Xiaoxi told him to wait at the entrance of the cave before dark, and if he was free, he could help hunt some prey so that she could take it down the mountain to exchange for some money so that she would not be unable to afford medicine when the time comes.
Ye Lixuan didn't think much about it and just did as he was told. Although he had recovered a lot, he definitely couldn't deal with those masters.
"By the way, if you find a chestnut tree, remember to tell me." Gu Xiaoxi said and turned to leave.
So, the two parted ways in the afternoon.
Gu Xiaoxi climbed up a little bit to see if there was any new discovery in the forest above.
The forest above is even denser, and there is a sense of danger inside.
This feeling told her that there might be a large beast in here.
She walked in cautiously for a while and saw a nest of pheasants.
This is a whole nest. It would be nice if these pheasants were raised in the space to lay eggs.
She turned and entered the space warehouse, found a net, and carefully set it up next to it. She also got some earthworms that pheasants liked to eat and sprinkled some medicinal powder on it.
This powder is a lure that attracts many different kinds of wild animals.
This was a skill her master had taught her for survival in the mountains. This lure was very complicated to make, and she didn't have much left.
After completing the preparations, she turned and entered the space, waiting for the prey to appear.
In just a short while, not only did the pheasants run over, but a wild boar also rushed out of the woods.
Wild boars are greedy by nature, and they rushed over and ate the earthworms.
Gu Xiaoxi pulled down the net and dragged all the prey into the space.
After dragging the prey into the space, she found an electric baton and stunned the wild boar. Then she caught the pheasant inside and put it in the chicken coop in the backyard.
In addition to pheasants and wild boars, two rabbits also came in at some point, so we had a good harvest today.
However, this wild boar must be dealt with as soon as possible. She doesn't know what's going on in the forest in the space, so she doesn't dare to let any living creatures in for the time being.
Thinking of this, she went to the kitchen to boil water and started busying herself.
Killing a pig is a physical job. Fortunately, she had the strength and finally killed the pig in the evening. She cut the pork into pieces and put them away, and would take them home to eat when she had the chance.
Woof woof woof!
Baiban called out a few times and took the alarm clock out of the room.
Oops!
The sun was about to set outside, and the two wolves had not had time to deal with it.
Gu Xiaoxi didn't dare to go down the mountain too late, so she quickly changed back into her original clothes and turned to leave the space.
After running all the way back to the cave entrance from the forest, Ye Lixuan was waiting at the cave entrance anxiously.
He had nothing to do, so he cleaned up all the prey in the ditch nearby.
"You are back. Are you going down the mountain now, or what?" he asked.
"Take your medicine first!" Gu Xiaoxi handed the prepared bamboo tube of water to Ye Lixuan.
In order to prevent this guy from traveling through time, she ground the original tablet into powder and then kneaded it into a ball with water.
Ye Lixuan took the bamboo tube and then the pill.
A familiar smell came. He felt that this pill was not a product of this era. Moreover, he seemed to have smelled the scent of disinfectant before.
At the same time, someone who was looking for trouble came to the Gu family down the mountain.
