"Brother Li, I have thought of many dishes. Please write them all down for me. Braised pork, roujiamo, candied dates, sugar snowballs, bone soup hot pot, spicy hot pot, roast duck, roast chicken, roast goose, braised pork, seasonal stir-fry, as well as tea drinks and snacks, peach cheese, tea-extracted peaches, red plum pastry, peach blossom pastry, almond pastry, tea pastry, red bean pastry, mung bean pastry, um, that's all for now."
Shen Li was stunned and asked in confusion: "What is hot pot? How come I have never seen many of the things you are talking about?"
"Hehe, of course I have to be different from them. You'll know when I get back to you!"
"I'm really curious. When you make it, don't forget to call me to taste it!"
"We have to invite Brother Li, you are a great contributor to our Baiweiju!"
"Yes, our scholar's handwriting is so beautiful, it will definitely attract a lot of people." Sister Yuying also joined in with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, Wanwan, please stop making fun of me! I don't have that much ability."
"Oh, our scholar is embarrassed, hahaha..."
Chen Li was at a loss whether to laugh or cry at what they said.
"Alright!" Li Yuying turned her head and looked at the sky. "It's almost noon. Let's go back quickly. Qiuyue and the others are still waiting to take the pig to the water!"
"Okay, let's go back!"
"Then let's go!"
Back in the village, Lin Wanwan put Shen Li down and gave him the wooden box. Shen Li refused to take it and was forced into her arms.
"Brother Li, you can take it back. We don't need it. I just bought it for Xiaobai a few days ago. He can't use it yet. You can use it to write couplets for everyone during the New Year."
"This will cost a lot of money, right? I'll give you the money!"
"Okay, brother Li, you don't have to give me money. This is my thank you gift for today. Our Mr. Shen's calligraphy is extraordinary, isn't it, sister-in-law?"
"Yes, Mr. Shen, since it's a thank-you gift from Wanwan, just take it!"
"But……"
Lin Wanwan didn't wait for him to get in and drove away.
When she got back home, Sister Qiuyue and the others were already waiting outside the house. Lin Wanwan quickly gave them the pig offal.
"Wan girl, you're back!"
The people who helped her family saw her and greeted her with a smile.
"Yeah, I'm back!"
"Brother Dayong, can you finish it today?"
Lin Dayong drank two sips of water, wiped the sweat off his face and said, "We'll rush them out before dark so they don't disturb your sleep at night."
"That's fine. Thank you so much, everyone. Brother Dayong, have you had lunch?"
"After eating, they all had round bellies! They all love the stewed meat you made."
"Hehe, that's good. Brother Dayong, can you accompany sister-in-law to the market to sell stewed meat tomorrow? I have something to do tomorrow, and sister-in-law can't handle it alone."
"Okay! I don't have anything else to do. I'll go there with your sister-in-law tomorrow."
"Yeah, okay!"
Lin Wanwan returned to her sister-in-law's house and saw Ermao, Sanmao and the two little ones lying there sleeping. She squatted down and touched them one by one. The wound on Sanmao's back had been treated with medicine. Upon closer inspection, she found that the herbs were still fresh.
She borrowed her sister-in-law's pot and stewed the big bones and meat. There were more than ten pounds of meat, enough for them to eat until they were full.
Seeing Sister Yuying pounding rice over there, Lin Wanwan, who had nothing to do, went to help. However, she was ruthlessly pushed away by her sister-in-law. She had no choice but to carry the basket on her back and go collect firewood.
In the evening, they finally finished repairing the house. Lin Dayong paid them 70 cents each. Lin Wanwan quickly made up the shortfall.
"Thank you all for coming to help. Wanwan is really grateful! You all have worked hard!"
"Why are you being polite, little girl? This is just a small matter!"
"That's right, and you're still paying us!"
"Yeah, the stew you made is really delicious! I have to help with this meal!"
"Hahaha, yes!"
Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Okay, if you still want to eat it, I'll send you some another day."
"Haha, no, no, I'm already full enough from today's meal!"
"Don't bother, girl, you should keep it and sell it for money!"
"Okay, since there's nothing else to do, let's go back and you can clean up some more!"
The house was really dirty now, with black ash and sawdust everywhere. Sister Yuying came over to help her clean, and Xiaobai also swept the floor with a broom when he came back from school.
Shen Mo and Lin Yusheng came to deliver the goods. When they saw them cleaning, they rolled up their sleeves to help.
Before they knew it, it was already dark. She asked Shen Mo and the other man to go back first, and left Sister Yuying to help her cook the braised pork.
When she went to bed at night, she took out the bedding from the space and spread it out, and then took Xiaobai's bedding over to spread it out.
She went to the space again to take out all the blueprints, and counted the silver in her hand. There was less than 170 taels left. She also needed to build a water mill and repair a bridge. Why did she spend so much money so quickly? Did she take too big a step?
Now Lin Xiangqiao's family are all in jail. It is really retribution. I hope the original owner can rest in peace if he knows about it.
The next day, Lin Wanwan got up early in the morning, made some breakfast, and called Xiaobai to get up and eat.
"Xiaobai, where did you eat yesterday at noon?"
"Well, the school provides lunch at noon. We had a big vegetarian bun yesterday. The buns made by the teacher's wife were so delicious!"
"Well, then you just be good and study hard!"
"I know, sister."
Lin Wanwan sent Brother Dayong and Sister-in-law Yuying to the market.
"Sister-in-law, Brother Dayong, I have something to do at the carpenter's shop, and I have to go back to the village later,"
"You want to go back to the village?"
"Yes, I'll tell you in detail later."
She strolled to the carpenter's shop, went in and saw several old men already waiting inside.
