Chapter 164 New Life
There isn't much else to this narrow village, except for the fact that it has the most vacant courtyards.
After cleaning it up and adding some more items, it became a ready-made ironworks - although, there was no iron available in the village at all.
Gong Er brought out the frying pan and placed it on the open space in the middle of the yard, sighing: "This object is the first time I have seen it in my life. If Miss Shen hadn't said it earlier, I would never have guessed in my dreams that it would actually be a pot!"
The villagers who gathered at the door to watch the excitement were all amazed.
"I thought it was some hidden weapon..."
"Such a large hidden weapon, and it only hits people without any eyes? In my opinion, it should be a torture instrument. I heard that there was a punishment called "roe deer" in the previous dynasty..."
"Stupid, that's called burning with fire!"
"Don't you dare talk nonsense... From now on, are you going to eat what comes out of this pot or not?"
Staring at the objects on the ground, Chen Chunxing's mouth twitched.
It's not uncommon. He actually made a square pot with a flat bottom!
And it's square.
For a moment, I didn't know whether to complain about his creative ideas or to admire his craftsmanship.
Chen Chunxing said politely, "Don't you think round pots look better?"
Gong Er was stunned. He scratched his head and squatted in front of the pot, wondering: "Did I guess wrong?"
"I thought the girl was just too ordinary with ordinary iron pots and wanted to try something a little more interesting... Since pots can be made with flat bottoms, why can't they be square? This thing would be so eye-catching if it were displayed..."
The curve of Chen Chunxing's mouth curled up even more speechlessly.
It’s really eye-catching!
Fortunately, both round and square pots could be used, so she didn't say much and asked Yang to carry the pot.
"Miss, are you planning to use this thing to start a new business?" Gong Er couldn't help but ask another question.
It’s not that I’m jealous, but I’m really curious!
He hammered out things with a hammer, but he didn't even understand their use. If this got out, wouldn't it be a joke?
The onlookers pricked up their ears and stretched their necks as hard as they could, wishing they could climb over the wall.
"As for the pot, it's naturally about making a living by eating."
As for what the food was, Chen Chunxing kept it a secret and just said that if anyone was interested, they could find a pot for themselves first.
Everyone was stunned.
Iron is not something that can be bought with money, not to mention that they have no money!
Even with the help of the Shen family, I was able to save some money, but these days, everything from food to clothing and daily necessities costs money.
In the past, the place where I lay was just a roof over my head. With continuous additions, it became a real home.
Perhaps because they have suffered a lot and walked back and forth in front of the King of Hell several times, they know very well that if you have money, you have to spend it!
In a place like the border, no matter how much you save, it may just be a handful of dirt when you get there!
"Go, go, go, the fields haven't been watered yet!"
"Oh my god, it's already this late! I have to go to the stall!"
"Someone said yesterday that they wanted to go to the city to buy embroidery thread..."
"Grandma, do you think buying ten chicks would be enough for our family?"
"Silly woman, haven't you seen that the village chief has started raising ducks?"
“…”
After mobilizing everyone's enthusiasm, Chen Chunxing went to the school.
As soon as you enter the yard.
Then Diao came up and complained, "Why don't we stop raising ducks?"
Chen Chunxing paused, and looked back furtively, "Don't let the villagers hear this!"
"What does it have to do with them?" Diao Shi didn't react, shaking the vegetables she had just picked. "Someone needs to cook for the school, and the livestock at home need to be fed. I finally became a village official, but I'm stuck in these trivial matters!"
"This is different from what we agreed on before!"
Mr. Qi was squatting nearby washing rice. Upon hearing this, he stood up awkwardly and said, "Actually, I can do it myself..."
"Sit down!" Diao said angrily. "Look at how you feed the children. They are so moved that they cry even when they eat steamed buns. I don't want to see fire on the roofs of the village one day!"
Mr. Qi had no choice but to squat back down.
The old man is very good at writing petitions, but he is not very good at speaking.
"You must give me a definite answer today, which side should you take care of first!" Diao turned her spearhead towards Chen Chunxing again.
Chen Chunxing pondered for a moment and said tentatively, "Actually, we can hire a cook... Not only can she help with cooking, but she can also teach the children cooking skills, killing two birds with one stone."
Diao immediately agreed, "That's it!"
"..." Chen Chunxing walked over suspiciously and looked around. "Why do I feel like you're waiting for me to say this?"
Diao Guilty as she carried the dishes into the shed, she urged, "Aren't you going to try something new? Hurry up, everyone's waiting to eat them."
In fact, she didn't need to say anything. From the moment the frying pan came in, Wang Youcai couldn't sit still.
"No one move today! Wait till you taste my cooking!"
Although the old man is old, his legs and feet are as flexible as a young man.
After washing the pot, heat it until it is red, wipe it repeatedly with oil, and it is ready to boil.
When you are done, pour the flour paste prepared earlier into the pot and use thin bamboo strips to spread it into a pancake shape.
At this time, he wondered and asked, "Why is there a square pot?"
Chen Chunxing grinned and handed the egg over, "I want it with sausage and egg!"
"Where's the sausage? I'll give you some bacon!"
Wang Youcai skillfully cracked the eggs into a bowl, added chopped green onions, and poured the mixture onto the formed crust. When the crust was almost cooked, he placed bacon, shredded radish, and fried dough sticks on top.
Roll it up, roll it up.
He scooped it out into a bowl and handed it to Chen Chunxing.
"It's missing oil paper... but it's okay, let's just consider it environmentally friendly."
No one understood, but their eyes couldn't move away from the brown pancake.
The tempting fragrance goes straight into my nose.
Even Diao, who was watching the soup pot nearby, couldn't help but move closer.
Chen Chunsheng handed the bowl to Diao and said, "Eat the milk first."
Diao was pleased, but she turned it over in her hand and handed it to the fourth son.
The silly kid was so greedy that his saliva was almost hanging down to his collar!
Chen Yandong opened his mouth to take a bite, but suddenly he turned around and asked the little girl next to him who was missing half an ear, "Do you want to eat it?"
The little girl's face flushed and she waved her hands back, "Fourth Young Master, eat first."
Chen Yandong showed a happy expression and forcefully stuffed the bowl into her hand, “Fourth Young Master, eat later!”
“…”
Shen Mingqiu couldn’t help but patted the back of Shen Yandong’s head, “Then you go last!”
The fourth child pouted in grievance, looking both reluctant and... reluctant.
Ever since he took over the job of cooking for the school at the Shen family, he grew up among children.
When he was in the village before, everyone called him "Silly Fourth", but now it has become "Fourth Young Master". Although he doesn't understand the meaning, Chen Yandong is very happy.
Because the eyes looking at me no longer contained contempt and disgust.
Although the silly child is silly, he has a bright heart.
About half an hour later.
Everyone in the yard had an egg pancake in their hands and was smacking their lips while eating it.
"What's wrong with your brains? You always come up with tricky ideas!" Diao praised him insincerely.
“…”
Wang Youcai took it as a compliment and said proudly while stroking his beard, "That's just the beginning. I'll make you pan-fried buns, pot stickers, and grilled cold noodles tomorrow..."
Diao quickly covered her ears, crouched down, and carried the soup pot into the inner room.
But I dare not listen to it again!
Just this one time, she had lost twenty or thirty eggs! If it happened a few more times, she was afraid she would become really mean and cunning!
