At noon, An Ning saw that there was a lot of shepherd's purse left, so she planned to steam some shepherd's purse stuffed buns to eat in the evening, so she made a bowl of dough. When An Ning went to the kitchen, she found that the dough was just right. An Ning also cut a piece of meat that was 30% fat and 70% lean, and chopped it into minced meat. Just as she prepared the stuffing, An Dashan came back.
Not only did he come back, but he was followed by several horse-drawn carriages carrying materials for building the rear shed. An Dashan directed the delivery guys to unload all the materials in the front yard, and let them leave after paying them.
An Ning walked out of the kitchen and said, "Dad, you're back! Go wash up quickly, dinner will be ready soon."
An Dashan hadn't paid attention just now, but now he saw the smoke coming out of the backyard and hurriedly shouted, "Ningning, look, is the backyard on fire?" As he said that, he was about to go into the house to get a wooden barrel to put out the fire.
An Ning quickly stopped An Dashan and said, "Dad, it's not a fire. I'm just making a new food and my mother is watching the fire."
An Dashan was relieved, but when he heard An Ning say that she was making new food, he was also very happy and said, "Ning Ning, what's wrong with your little head? How can you think of so many delicious foods?"
An Ning smiled and said, "I'll go make some dumplings first." Then she turned around and went back to the kitchen. An Ning wrapped the dumplings deftly with both hands, then put them on the steamer and started to steam them. When the dumplings were almost cooked, she made some egg drop soup in the pot.
After An Ning finished doing all this, she came to the backyard and said to An Dashan who was talking to Gao, "Dad, I think the fire is almost done. You should put it out and then dig out the things in the pit."
An Dashan nodded, put out the fire, then dug the pit with a shovel. An Ning put on homemade gloves and helped take out the beggar chicken.
An Dashan and Gao looked at the earthy things and asked in confusion, "Ningning, what on earth is this? Can we eat it?"
An Ning smiled, reached out and took the shovel from An Dashan's hand, knocked off the layer of mud wrapped around the outside, and instantly a unique fragrance emanated. An Ning took the beggar's chicken and said, "Dad, Mom, come in and eat!"
Then he turned around and went back to the main room. An Dashan followed closely behind, supporting Gao. An Ning put the beggar's chicken on the table, and then went to the kitchen to serve the meal. An Dashan washed his hands and came to help.
After the buns and egg drop soup were served, An Ning took off the outer layer of lotus leaves. She had smelled the fragrance through the lotus leaves just now, and now that it was opened, the fragrance instantly filled everyone's nose.
An Dashan tore off two chicken legs and gave one to An Ning and Gao Shi, then tore off a chicken wing and started eating. Seeing An Dashan eating with relish, An Ning took a bite as well. Unexpectedly, this chicken tasted so tender and juicy, and had a unique fragrance of lotus leaves. After eating the chicken leg, An Ning asked, "Dad, tomorrow is the day to start work. Have you bought the meat and vegetables?"
An Dashan nodded and said, "I bought it. It's in the car. We'll unload it after dinner."
The next day was the day to build the back shed. The villagers came to help early in the morning. Building the back shed was very simple because the backyard wall was high enough, so we only had to build the front wall, then put up the beams, and finally put on the tiles.
All the young men in the village who had a good relationship with An Dashan came, totaling more than 20 people. Now that Gao was pregnant, several women in the village who had a good relationship with An Ning came to help cook.
It took a total of three days to build the back room, which was divided into three rooms according to An Ning's requirements. Since rabbits need rabbit cages, it was not divided further.
An Dashan and An Ning moved all the rabbits here, putting the pregnant female rabbits in one room, the male rabbits in another, and the weaned rabbits and the unweaned rabbits in another. That's it for now, and they'll slowly add cages when there are more rabbits.
After dinner, the family of three sat in the main room and talked. An Ning asked An Dashan, "Dad, spring plowing is about to begin. Have you found someone to farm the land?"
An Dashan nodded and said, "I found it. There are several families in our village who don't have much land. In previous years, they would go out to do odd jobs to earn money after planting wheat. When they heard that I wanted to hire someone to farm the land, and the wages were not low, they all came to me and were willing to farm for us first."
An Ning felt relieved after hearing this, but she thought of another problem, which was the issue of seeds. For the more than 200 acres of land, An Ning wanted to use the seeds from the space, but more than 200 acres of seeds was not a small amount, and she couldn't take out so much quietly, so she was struggling whether to tell the father and daughter that she had the space.
An Dashan looked at An Ning who was hesitant to speak and said, "Ningning, what's wrong with you? If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
An Ning thought about it and decided not to tell them that she had a space yet, and to use the old immortal as an excuse. So she said, "Dad, Mom, come with me to the warehouse, I have something to tell you."
An Dashan and Gao looked at An Ning who was acting mysteriously, and they were a little confused, but An Ning did not explain. He stood up and took the couple to the warehouse. An Ning said, "Dad, the old immortal came to me in a dream yesterday and said that if I were given a batch of wheat seeds, the wheat yield would be more than doubled."
An Dashan and Gao were both a little surprised and said in unison: "Ningning, is what you said true?"
An Ning nodded and said, "I will take out the seeds right away, don't be afraid."
Gao and An Dashan looked at each other and nodded. An Ning was afraid that the two would be frightened, so she moved two chairs and said, "You should sit down! I'm afraid you will fall."
After An Ning saw An Dashan and Gao Shi sitting down, she waved her hand, and the empty warehouse was instantly filled with seeds. An Dashan and Gao Shi opened their mouths in shock, unable to recover for a long time. Seeing this, An Ning quickly shook their arms and said, "Dad, Mom, are you okay?"
Gao slowly turned her head and pinched An Dashan hard, and immediately a pig-slaughtering scream was heard.
Gao realized that this was not a dream, so she rolled her eyes and fainted. Fortunately, An Ning was prepared and supported Gao with one hand and began to pinch her Ren Zhong with the other. After a while, Gao woke up slowly, and An Dashan and An Ning said in unison: "Mother, are you okay?"
Gao saw that what was in front of her was not an illusion, so she tried to adjust her mood and said, "I'm fine." Then she reached out and grabbed An Ning, saying, "Ning Ning, you can't tell anyone else about this except us. Do you hear me?"
An Ning knew that Gao was afraid that she would be hurt, so she nodded quickly and said, "I understand, mother."
