"It tastes very good and sweet. Did you add sugar?" Song Zhi nodded.
The little girl's eyes lit up when she heard that and she nodded quickly. Her little face was so rosy that she looked so cute that Song Zhi couldn't help but reach out and pinch her twice.
Although there is not much meat yet, the skin has become much smoother.
The little girl really needs to be raised slowly.
When she pinched her little face, San Ya's cheeks became even redder, and even the tips of her ears turned red. She took the bowl of water that Song Zhi had finished drinking and left happily.
Nie Jinmei limped over and looked at the little girl's back, who was bouncing as she walked, and said with emotion, "The children really like you."
Hearing this, Song Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that in her previous life, her Qing Bai also liked her very much.
If it weren't for Tang Junhe, their mother-son relationship would be better.
Thinking of this, her eyes darkened and her hand subconsciously placed on her stomach.
Nie Jinmei didn't notice her abnormality. She stuck her head out and looked towards Song Zhi's room.
Her room was only slightly larger than theirs and had no furniture either, so everything was piled on the floor.
It looked no different from their room, but Nie Jinmei inexplicably felt that her room was more comfortable.
At this time, Rong Zhengqing came over, rubbing his hands. Seeing the two of them, he asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want to go get something to eat together, and then go to the carpenter to see if he can make a bed for you?"
It was freezing cold and she really didn't want to sleep on the floor.
Song Zhi had been thinking about this, and when she mentioned it, he immediately asked, "Do you know where the carpenter lives?"
"I know." Rong Zhengqing nodded. Seeing that they seemed to share the same idea, he quickly said, "Let's go together."
If there are three of them together, you can negotiate the price with the carpenter and give them a cheaper price.
The losses caused by this disaster were not small, and Rong Zhengqing was not well off financially, so he just wanted to save some money.
"Then pack up first and we'll go together later." Song Zhi said.
The three of them were about to go back to their rooms when San Ya brought over some washed fruits and vegetables and said to them enthusiastically, "Sister, this is for you."
These fruits and vegetables were bought by Ran Qiu last time and have been stored in the cellar. However, after a long time and because it is too cold, the fruits and vegetables are no longer as fresh as when they were first bought and are a little wilted.
Song Zhi took a piece and took a bite. Under San Ya's expectant gaze, he praised: "It's so sweet and delicious. Thank you, San Ya."
Nie Jinmei and Rong Zhengqing also ate some.
Although it’s not very fresh, fruits and vegetables in this season are rare and delicious no matter how they are.
"Little sister is so good."
The three of them each praised him.
San Ya's face turned red with praise from them, and her smile became even brighter.
The three of them were still in a hurry to go out to work as carpenters. After saying goodbye to San Ya, they returned to their room, took the money, and went out together.
As soon as they came out, they saw Ran Qiu feeding chickens in the yard.
"Teacher Ran." Song Zhi greeted him politely.
Ran Qiu nodded slightly and saw that they seemed to be about to go out.
"Where are you going?"
"We want to go and arrange some furniture. It's really too cold to sleep on the floor in this weather." Song Zhi explained awkwardly.
Hearing this, Ran Qiu was silent for a while before he stopped the three people who were walking out.
"Wait, let me go with you. I'm familiar with Carpenter Jiang and can help you bargain for a lower price."
Having just suffered a disaster, Ran Qiu guessed that they were not well off financially, so they should save as much as possible.
Upon hearing this, Nie Jinmei and Rong Zhengqing were very surprised, and Song Zhi also nodded happily.
Of course it's great to save a little money.
It is too cold now, so they don’t go to work. If they don’t work, they won’t get any work points, and they will have to save more if they don’t live off their savings.
Ran Qiu wiped his hands and called Dabao out.
"Dabao, feed the chickens and take good care of your younger brothers and sisters at home. I'm going out with them."
He gave a few instructions.
Dabao nodded obediently and agreed.
Ran Qiu then went into the house, put on his cotton jacket, and took them to Carpenter Jiang.
The cold wind was howling along the way, and Song Zhi and the other three were shivering with cold. However, Ran Qiu, who was walking in front and wearing the thinnest clothes, seemed to feel nothing at all. His back was straight, and although he walked with a slight limp, he was definitely not as embarrassed as the other three.
Carpenter Jiang lived at the east end of the village in a beautiful blue brick and tile house. Unlike Ran Qiu's house, Carpenter Jiang's house was not only spacious, but also solid and imposing.
When they passed by, Carpenter Jiang was arguing with someone.
"This is custom-made. If you say you don't want it, then you don't want it. Isn't that a breach of trust?" Carpenter Jiang frowned and looked at the man opposite him.
"Your price is too high, and this thing is no different from others. We don't want it, but if you can make it cheaper, we'll take it."
The man deliberately picked on the thorns of the furniture and kept saying that he wanted to give him a lower price.
In order to customize this batch of furniture, Carpenter Jiang had turned down a lot of work and was not willing to give in now.
"The price was agreed upon long ago, and you accepted it then. Now that the product is ready, you're going back on your word? I beg you two, how can you behave like this?"
After hearing what Carpenter Jiang said, the man's face darkened and he simply started to act like a rogue.
"It's up to you whether you want to sell it or not. I can afford this price. If you don't lower it, it's going to rot in your hands. Why are you so greedy? We're from the same village, why do you have to take advantage of me?"
Hearing these unreasonable words, Carpenter Jiang became furious. He snorted, rolled up his sleeves, and looked at the man angrily.
"You know what it's like to be in the same village, and you still come here to act like a scoundrel. If you want it or not, just get out of here, or don't blame me for beating you!"
Carpenter Jiang was a tall and strong man. He had worked hard for many years and had a body full of tendons. He had a rough appearance and a beard on his chin. Now he looked very scary with his frowning and cold eyes.
The man opposite him was a little thinner than him, and now he was frightened by Carpenter Jiang and immediately lost his momentum.
"Do you want it or not?" Carpenter Jiang was also annoyed. He rolled his fists and glared at the man.
The man was a little scared, but this batch of furniture was too expensive, and he now regretted very much that he had ordered it too early.
He didn't want it but he didn't dare to say no.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw a few people walking in from the gate. His eyes rolled, thinking that Carpenter Jiang would never dare to hit him in front of so many people.
He suddenly felt more confident and said with his neck stiff, "Why is it that you still insist on forcing a sale? There are a few people there, let them judge the matter properly. Is there anyone who does business like you?"
Carpenter Jiang was so angry at his words that his face turned blue.
At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly came from behind: "Master Jiang."
