In no time, the twenty or thirty pounds of beef and offal prepared on the stove were completely devoured, and even the whole basin of green vegetables and mushrooms in the large pot was emptied. Su Erhu even scooped up and ate the last sprig of cilantro at the bottom of the pot.
They patted their bellies contentedly, their lips burning red, as if they had applied bright red rouge.
"Wow, this whole beef hot pot is even tastier than mala tang! Hua'er's brain is just different from ours; she can come up with all sorts of delicious ideas!"
"Yes, the tripe inside is the best. One bite and it's even crisper than wood ear mushrooms and more fragrant than beef!"
"I like the beef the most here. Three slices of meat in one bite, plus a sip of soup, even the gods wouldn't feel as comfortable as us!"
"The vegetables in this hot pot are delicious, especially the pea shoots and oyster mushrooms. They soak up all the broth and are so fragrant and spicy!"
"Mmm, I'm hungry again even though I just ate. Shall we have hot pot again tonight...?"
Su Hua wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth, raised her small hand, and said, "Everyone likes hot pot, so let's continue tonight. There will be plenty of meat and vegetables!"
Anyway, there's still a big bowl of the prepared beef tallow hot pot base left, enough for several more hot pot meals.
As for meat, there's no shortage of it at home right now.
Because wild game was so rare, of the three wild animals that Da Bai's family gave him, only the big wild boar was taken to the Fu Gui Restaurant in town and exchanged for six taels of silver. The rest of the beef and mutton were all kept. Some were kept for the spicy hot pot business, and the rest were kept for the family to eat. Whether it was beef hot pot or mutton hot pot, they could make it all.
I'm fine with eating any of the three meals a day.
As long as you're not worried about your chrysanthemums suffering, it's fine!
After lunch, it was already early afternoon. The three Su brothers took hoes and went to the vegetable garden behind the house, while Su Hua returned to the main house and began to think about the house blueprints.
Su Bai bought two mu of land from the village chief. Because it was mountainous land and the village was very close to Fuhu Mountain, the price was only one tael and two mace per mu. Compared to the good fields in the village that cost seven or eight taels per mu, the price was incredibly cheap.
There are now ten people in the family. Su Baishi has one room, the three Su brothers each have one room, Su Sui has one room, I have one room, and the three Su siblings each have one room. Just the bedrooms alone require nine rooms.
Besides the bedroom, there is also a kitchen, bathroom, toilet, utility room, and woodshed.
In addition, Su Dahu has started attending school and also has to teach his family members when he comes home, so he needs a large study room.
When I took Su Sanhu to the Meng family to watch a play before, I saw the Meng family's blue brick and tile house. Although it was paved with blue bricks from the ground to the walls, it was still made of bricks. Bricks are not only easy to get dusty, but snakes, insects and rats can also easily get in between the gaps.
She plans to add another layer of wood paneling to the walls inside the house. This will not only effectively prevent dust and insects from getting into the gaps, but it will also look more beautiful and comfortable.
As for the waterproofing materials for the bathroom and shower room, she thought and thought and finally came up with a solution: to use soft and malleable cedar wood for the water pipes, and then mix tung oil with lime to make oil lime, and apply a thick layer of oil lime inside and outside the cedar water pipes, including the crevices.
This method was the same craft she had seen on Chinese television before, and it was the essence of how the old-fashioned awning boats were welded with rice and oil so they were not prone to leaks.
However, she had only seen this method before and had never actually tried it. Moreover, it would probably cost some money to do it.
However, if this method succeeds, it can be used not only in home bathrooms and toilets, but also in Su Ji Restaurant. No one would not want a clean restroom in a place where they eat.
Su Hua was scribbling on the paper with a charcoal pencil. After some time, she suddenly heard soft voices coming from the courtyard entrance.
Looking up, I saw Feng Zicai standing outside the fence. Compared to the coarse clothes I saw earlier, he was now wearing a sky-blue fine cotton robe and a neat turban on his head, clearly dressed like a scholar.
"Brother, I'm here today to see Hua'er..."
"What flowers and grass? Don't call people around here, Scholar Feng!" Feng Zicai's words were cut off by Su Dalang. "Your Feng family lives in the north of the village, far away from the end of our village. Don't come here looking for flowers and grass!"
"What are you saying, Dalang?" Feng Zicai's smile froze slightly as he handed over the oil paper package in his hand.
"This is a white sugar cake that I specially bought in Qingshui County. Hua'er... no, your aunt, doesn't your aunt love white sugar cake the most? Could you call her out and give her this cake to eat?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Erlang, who was standing next to him, burst out laughing.
"White sugar cake? Scholar Feng must be joking! My aunt has always hated white sugar cake the most!"
It's clearly him and his brother who like to eat white sugar cake!
Little Chunhua, standing next to the two brothers, put her hands on her hips and looked Feng Zicai up and down for a long time. Then, without saying a word, she shook her head and said, "Now I understand what Grandma meant when she said his head was full of shit."
