Because there were so many people and the host was generous, the house was built quickly and well.
Watching the bright house gradually taking shape, Chu Xi would stare at it for a while every day and was very happy.
Having experienced the end of the world, she has an inexplicable obsession with houses. Only with a house can one have a home, and home is the warmest and safest haven.
Soon, it will be time to put up the beams.
Putting up the beam is the most important part of building a house. The beam is like the human skeleton, connecting the upper and lower parts. It is a technical job.
In the past, people had to choose an auspicious time to raise a beam, kill chickens, offer sacrifices, etc. The time should be "full moon" or "high tide" to symbolize family reunion and money coming in like a tide.
Now, forget it. We can’t promote feudal superstitions and we can’t be extravagant and wasteful. If we do it, we’ll just wait for trouble.
So, he found an old bricklayer, set a time, and shouted, "Let's put up the beams!" Everyone started working together, and the beams were put up in two hours. Chu Xi didn't dare to treat everyone to a big feast or set off firecrackers, but he still distributed a circle of White Rabbit milk candies as a token of gratitude and celebration.
Next, we started laying the tiles. We laid down layers of wood, rows of bamboo, and layers of waterproofing material, then connected the tiles together tightly. It took two days to finish all the rooms.
Looking at the house that was almost finished, Chu Xi happily made another big meal of buns. Each person who helped was given two buns and a handful of candy.
The villagers, no matter how tired they were after a busy day, felt refreshed, and the children at home had a treat.
Wanting to get it done in one go to avoid the house being damp on cloudy and rainy days, Chu Xi asked Wang Tao to prepare cement, white lime, etc. He laid cement on the floor of the house, painted white lime on the walls, built a stove, and set up two kangs. That was it!
Seeing that the house was completed, everyone was grateful for the host's hospitality and dealt with the sanitation and construction waste, which made Chu Xi feel embarrassed.
But there is strength in numbers, and it was soon over.
Building a house is a big deal, and it's a brick and tile house, so it's time to be happy about it.
So Shi Peng helplessly watched Chu Xi generously give each person 6 eggs, a handful of toffee, and 2 kilograms of millet.
This made everyone's eyes red and they kept thanking her, which caused Chu Xi to start a new round of embarrassment.
Fortunately, the items had been packed in advance, and each person got a bag, so they distributed the items quickly. Everyone carried their tools and things home happily.
That night, Chu Xi, without a trace of regret, killed a large rooster she had bought two days ago in her new house to celebrate. In many places, people would kill a rooster for worship after a new house was built, so Chu Xi just comforted herself. After all, such an outrageous thing had happened to her during her time travel.
She took out another pound of pork belly from the space and prepared to make the braised pork that she had been craving for a long time. She was embarrassed to eat it with so many people coming and going, for fear of arousing jealousy.
Braised pork is a popular dish known for its sweet, tender texture and melt-in-your-mouth flavor. It's made with pork belly, a blend of fat and lean meat. There are 20 to 30 different recipes, the most popular of which include potatoes and quail eggs.
Today Chu Xi is going to have braised pork with quail eggs. You can pick up a lot of quail eggs in the mountains. After all, he has a spiritual power with a built-in "fishing net" function, so he can take whatever he likes.
Boil the pork belly for 10 minutes, remove, and let cool, then cut into 2cm cubes. Heat a small amount of oil in a wok until 70% hot. Add the pork belly and stir-fry over high heat until slightly charred. Add soy sauce, cooking wine, ginger, garlic, bay leaves, and rock sugar. Add water and bring to a boil over high heat.
Of course, I did all of this secretly, otherwise it would be difficult to explain so many rare materials.
Can it be said that they produce and sell their own products? Given how smart her man is, she definitely doesn't believe it.
Then pour it into a stew pot and simmer for half an hour, add potatoes, chicken essence and chopped green onions.
After a while, the braised pork was ready.
Looking at the big plate of chicken stewing in the pot next to him, Chu Xi fried some braised chestnut mushrooms and fried spinach, and paired them with steamed buns and rice porridge to make a big meal.
She didn't know whether he drank or not. It was a pity that she didn't dare to take out so much good wine.
Huh? Why do you always think about giving him good food? No, that's not right.
Ever since she came through, she hadn't dared to use anything in the space in order to hide her tracks. This meal of braised pork and big plate chicken was a long-lost delicacy.
Looking at the brightly colored, soft potatoes, tender chicken, and fat but not greasy braised pork, Shi Peng was shocked. Is his wife such a spendthrift? Is his allowance enough for the two of them?
I couldn't help but say to myself that I must work harder to make money.
Seeing such a rich variety of meat dishes, Little Stone's mouth started watering. "Eat meat, eat meat..."
Children's joy lies in simplicity.
Looking at the man's cool and handsome face and the child's cute and lovely appearance, Chu Xi's heart was truly filled with happiness.
