Chapter 258 Pretending to be something you're not (2/2)



Although they may not have potatoes, there are plenty of vegetables available in autumn, so they can use other substitutes.

If you don't have cornmeal, you can make pancakes with black flour; things just keep changing!

Now that we have rabbits as an income source, we can also use goose and duck eggs to nourish the workers.

The more you look at it, the more you realize that this egg pancake looks expensive, but in reality, it doesn't use many ingredients and is filled with a lot of vegetables. It's delicious and filling, so it's definitely worth it.

Fan Erzhu and the others also stared at the rolled pancakes in Wang Guifen's family's hands.

When Sun Jinhua heard that Hu Shuiqing had taught her, she immediately felt disgusted.

Hearing Zhang Hui and Zhao Lan, the two sisters-in-law, praising Wang Guifen as one of her sisters-in-law so much, he felt very uncomfortable.

They're both sisters-in-law, but other people's wives treat their sisters-in-law with utmost respect and praise, while our own sisters-in-law would rather give the opportunity to outsiders than to her!

"Mom, can you make those rolled pancakes for us tomorrow too?" Fan Sizhu asked enviously, munching on a hard, dark steamed bun.

Sun Jinhua retorted irritably, "What are you going to eat! Didn't you hear that person asking for cornmeal, eggs, and potatoes? We have none of that, how are we supposed to cook!"

Fan Erzhu took a deep breath and said coldly, "If you don't have it, then find a way. Everyone else can make it, so why can't you?"

Sun Jinhua choked, glanced timidly at her son, and felt a little scared.

If it were Zhao Di, she would have slapped her long ago, but even Zhao Di wouldn't dare to talk to her like that.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck her, and she said to her second son in a flattering tone, "Alright, alright, when we get back, I'll have Zhao Di make it for you. She stayed at your second aunt's house for two months, so she'll definitely know how."

Fan Erzhu responded with a snort through his nose.

Sun Jinhua chuckled.

The three pillars and four pillars were all in sight. What came to mind was how my second brother had been so domineering when he asked my mother for cloth to pad his shoulders. It wasn't a discussion, but an order and command.

But Mother actually smiled and agreed.

It turns out that his mother is more susceptible to this approach; he will instruct her in the same way from now on.

"By the way, why didn't Uncle's family come?" Fan Erzhu had finished arranging tomorrow's meals and took the time to check on his second uncle.

My second uncle's family still has land belonging to Uncle Da Mu's family, which is no less than our own, so they're not in a hurry.

Fan Sizhu had already found out the details on his way here, and he stepped forward and said, "They said they were going out this morning and would come back to haul soil when they got back."

Fan Sanzhu was extremely envious. "My second uncle has servants now! With more than twenty servants working on the same field, they don't need to carry soil themselves at all."

He used to think it was good to be his parents' child, but after the family split up, he felt even more that it was good to be his second uncle's child...

Fan Qian was displeased upon hearing this and said coldly to his son, "Although their fields are about the same size as ours, they have significantly more land and forests!"

There are still over a hundred acres of land to plant potatoes. The land needs to be plowed, fertilized, and sown. Leaving aside fertilization and sowing, just plowing alone is enough to exhaust those twenty-three people!

Now they still have to carry soil. If not a single person from your second uncle's family comes out, won't they be exhausted to death?

Originally, after the family divided their property, Fan Jin's family didn't have as much land as he did, and he was secretly pleased with himself. But then Fan Jin bought all of Fan Damu's land and forests!

Originally, Fan Jin had four sons, who were already quite old. His two daughters were the first to be employed, and he had far more servants than his younger brother's family. However, Fan Jin ended up buying more than twenty servants and managed to support them all!

There has been no word of selling him yet.

It's also possible that they're putting on a brave face and enduring it all.
