The three brothers of the Lin family excitedly buried their heads in their food. Since they were young, they had been eating coarse grains, wild vegetables and steamed buns almost every day, and rarely had meals with rich oils.
At this moment, eating such delicious food with good color, aroma and taste, everyone was more and more carried away by it. They held the big bowl and wished they could swallow their tongues together.
On the contrary, Su Mu, who was holding the bowl, was a little at a loss. He raised his chopsticks, but didn't dare to reach out to pick up the food several times.
"Eat more. Your wounds haven't healed yet. Don't eat spicy food. Have some pickled fish instead."
Lin Mo picked up some food for Su Mu naturally. Su Mu seldom ate at home with them. He had been staying in bed because he was not feeling well.
After that, he went to the county again. This was the first time he had a proper meal with their family. It could be seen that he was a little restrained.
"Mu Mu, don't be nervous. We will be a family from now on. A Mo has gone out to learn a skill, and our family's life will definitely get better and better in the future." Lin Sheng said gently, picking up some dishes for Su Mu with a gentle smile on his face.
Su Mu's eyes were slightly red, and his cold facial features seemed to soften. He was naturally grateful in his heart. No one had ever been so kind to him since he was a child. He had only been in the Lin family for a few days, but he seemed to have forgotten the days in the Su family.
"Got it, thank you big brother." Su Mu choked up a little, his eyes filled with gratitude.
He took the dishes from Lin Sheng and started to eat with big mouthfuls. He secretly decided in his heart that he must learn how to cook these two dishes well. When the Lin family shop opened in the future, he would do his best to help.
The pots and stoves at home were all the same as before. Lin Mo was a bit busy after he came back, so he only bought large bowls for the family to eat, but one large bowl was about half the size of his head.
When the family lowered their heads to eat, their entire heads were almost buried in the bowls. Today's two main dishes were really delicious, and everyone ate with their stomachs opened wide, and in the end their mouths were full of oil.
Looking at the clean pots and pans, and Lin Wen, who was clearly so full that he could barely walk but still wanted to continue eating, Lin Mo vaguely remembered a sentence: "You little brat is eating me to death..."
"Third brother, this is the first time I've eaten so much, and it's so good. This fish is even more delicious than that meat! If my stomach wasn't so full, I would have continued eating!"
Lin Wu touched his bulging belly and scratched his head shyly.
"Don't eat it, if you eat any more, how will you sleep at night? It's not like you won't have food to eat in the future." Lin Mo stood up with a smile.
It was getting darker by now, so he lit the oil lamp and placed it on the table at the door.
After resting for a while, Lin Mo began to discuss plans for the next few days with everyone.
"Brother, I will go to the village chief tomorrow and ask him to find some men who are not busy with farming to help the construction team build the house. Xiao Wu will be responsible for coordinating with the construction team to purchase materials.
You can find some aunts and sisters in the village to help with cooking. When the time comes, it will depend on how many workers there are. The wages will be calculated as before, and lunch will be provided every day."
Lin Sheng nodded, his eyes sparkling, his voice a little lighter: "Amo, ordinary people usually have whole grains and cabbage for a meal. Should we follow this standard?"
When villagers build houses, they usually hire people from the same village, but everyone's conditions are similar, so they don't care too much about food, as long as they can eat enough.
Lin Mo shook his head and said, "There are so many people in the village, so when the time comes, go to the butcher and order some meat, and have him deliver it to our house every day.
The dishes should be plentiful, and a soup and a meat dish are essential. Only when everyone eats well will they be more dedicated to helping us work. There's no need to save money on this."
Lin Mo's idea is actually very simple. After the house is built, the family will cook a big pot of rice. The family members will not cook separately, but will eat together with the workers. In this way, they can eat well with a combination of meat and vegetables.
Lin Sheng nodded. He now trusted Lin Mo 100% and agreed with whatever he said.
"Awu, if you don't understand something about the materials, ask Li Da and Luo Jiajun from the construction team. They make a living from this and have the skills.
If you continue to learn, your family will need to customize some custom furniture, and you will be responsible for the materials and the supervision."
"Okay, Third Brother, don't worry, I will do it well." Lin Wu said excitedly.
"Mu Mu, you should learn to make these two dishes at home in the next few days. I plan to buy two people to learn from you. You can collect the ingredients you need in the village first, and if you don't have enough, you can go to town to buy more."
"Do you need to buy more people?" Su Mu asked in surprise. He was also bought back because he was sensitive about this topic.
Lin Mo nodded and said, "Yes, we have to buy it. Our secret recipe must be in our own hands. Otherwise, it will be difficult to make money if it is leaked."
Since human trafficking is legal in this world, it is most profitable for him to buy people back. Even if they learn it, they can't do anything with the indenture.
If he recruited people back, he would be tired of dealing with all the tricks they played. He was old and had met many scheming people, but he could just kill them directly. In this world, people cannot be killed easily.
So he would rather spend some money to buy people back at the beginning, so as to eliminate many problems from the root.
Lin Sheng and his brothers still find it hard to accept this. In the past, it was difficult for their family to have enough food to eat.
Life is finally getting better now, and buying people means there will be a few more mouths to feed, and they all need to eat, so there is some resistance.
"Third brother, do we really want to buy someone?" Lin Wu rubbed his hands, a little dazed.
Not long ago, they were still hungry and cold, but now they not only have to build a big house, but even have to buy servants. He wouldn't even dare to dream about it... but it actually came true!
Su Mu bit his lip, his eyes lingering on Lin Mo from time to time. He always felt that when Lin Mo said he wanted to buy someone, he actually wanted to buy someone to help him with work, but he could do all the work himself.
After hesitating for a while, he spoke carefully, "Lin Mo, I can do all the housework. For example, if I learn more, I can definitely learn how to make this dish today. You don't need to hire anyone!"
As if afraid that Lin Mo wouldn't believe him, Su Mu's tone was unusually hurried: "Apart from these, I can do other work. My injuries are almost healed, and I can also help you build a house and dig the foundation..."
When he was in the Su family, he had to go up the mountain to chop firewood or do hard labor at the landlord's house during the slack season, and he had to work all the land at home during the busy farming season.
Compared to these, what we are doing now in the Lin family is simply insignificant, so we even need to hire people to help!
Lin Sheng couldn't help but speak up: "That's right, more people means more mouths to feed. No matter how much money we have at home, we can't afford to spend it this way. Ah Mo, otherwise we won't hire anyone. Big Brother can do the same job!"
Lin Wu on the side nodded repeatedly.
