Sister Yuying followed, "I'll go and help you."
Lin Wanwan looked at the layout of the courtyard and decided to build one next to the east wing and one next to the west wing.
"Is there a smoke vent in the house? It's broken. This is a bit troublesome."
Lin Wanwan said with a frown.
Lin Dayong smiled and said, "Yes, but you can't see it from your side. I can see it from my side. Your family used to cook in the west wing, but later they built a kang in the east room and changed to cooking in the east wing. The stove in the west wing was also demolished. Your mother wanted to turn it into an embroidery workshop. Well... okay, let's not talk about it. Do you want to deal with mud bricks or blue bricks? If it's mud bricks, you can go directly to the rich family and bring back a cart. If it's blue bricks, you have to go to the next village."
Lin Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "Mud bricks will be fine. It won't be too late to change them when we have money in the future."
"Okay, I'll go push the car."
"Hey, Brother Dayong, how much is it? I'll give you the money!"
"What's the money? He's my brother. Can he ask me for money just for pulling a few bricks?"
"No, Brother Dayong, this is for my use, not yours. Besides, brothers have to settle accounts clearly!"
Lin Wanwan took out her purse, found a piece of silver weighing about three taels, and put it in his pocket.
"It won't take that much! A few dozen coins will be enough!"
"Just take the extra ones. I can't let you work for me for nothing, Brother Dayong!"
"No, no, you take it back."
"Oh no! If you don't accept it, I'll find someone else! Brother Dayong, go quickly, while it's still early, let's finish it early, we'll need it in the evening!"
"That's fine."
Lin Dayong pushed the cart to Lin Dafu's house, where he was removing the molds and drying the bricks. He was a little surprised to see Lin Dayong coming.
"Dayong, why are you here? What happened?"
"It's okay. I'll come over to get two carts of mud bricks."
"Okay, okay, just pull as much as you want."
Lin Dayong pulled the bus twice without saying a word, and left him a piece of silver before leaving on the second trip. Lin Dafu turned around and saw it, so he picked up the silver and stuffed it back into his pocket.
"Why give me money? Why should I ask for money from my own brother? Besides, our mother has been gone for so many years. Even if you are still angry, you can't keep it to yourself for so many years. It was your sister-in-law who was not good in the past, but she also served mother for so many years after all. You can't bear a grudge for the rest of your life, right?"
"Okay, I get it. I'll come over during the New Year and other holidays."
After saying that, he threw the change to him.
"What are you doing for me? Take it back!"
"This is not what I need. Wan asked me to buy it for her. She wants to use it to build a stove."
"That won't take that much. I'll find you later."
"No need to look for it, I'll make two more trips later."
After saying that, he pushed the cart and walked away, ignoring Lin Dafu behind him. Lin Dafu was so angry that his teeth itched behind him. What a piece of wood!
When Li Yuying saw Lin Dayong pulling back two truckloads of mud bricks and wanting to pull more, she instantly understood what was going on and couldn't help but chuckle with her hands covering her mouth.
Lin Dayong brought back four carts of mud bricks and half a cart of broken stone slabs. He was very skillful and had finished the two large stoves before dark. The surface was paved with broken stone slabs, and the gaps were smoothed and even, without any smoke leaking out.
The remaining bricks were used to build a doghouse and a chicken coop for the dogs in the yard. The roof of the shed was also built with gravel slabs, which will become very strong after drying for a few days.
Lin Wanwan said to Sister Yuying, "Sister-in-law, don't go back to cook dinner. Bring Huzi to my house to eat. We've built a new stove, so we have to have a lively dinner!"
Li Yuying thought about it and felt that it was right, so she agreed.
Lin Wanwan used two pots to boil lard and put it into the big pot. When no one was around, she went back to the space and took some eggs and rapeseed, and took out the big bones that were not eaten, and used them to make soup later.
She first blanched the big bones, added onions and ginger, and slowly simmered them. She then blanched the pig’s offal twice in another pot, and set it aside. She washed the rice and poured it into the pot to steam it.
Aunt Yuying also came to help. Lin Wanwan asked her to help watch the fire while she went to watch the big bones.
Wait until the big bones turn into milky white, then take them out and add the marinade seasoning bag, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rock sugar, onion, ginger, garlic, and dried chili peppers, and finally pour in rice wine and simmer over low heat.
After a while, the house was filled with the aroma of stewed food.
Lin Wanwan sat and chatted with Sister Yuying for a while, and when she felt it was about time, she served the rice.
After rinsing the pot, pour in the fat residue and stir-fry for a few times, then add the chopped green onion and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, pour in the rapeseed and stir-fry, add salt and a few drops of soy sauce, wait until the rapeseed becomes soft, and serve.
Li Yuying couldn't help but praise: "Wanwan's cooking is so delicious! Whoever marries our Wanwan in the future will be blessed!"
"Hehe, I'm just willing to use more ingredients. Sister-in-law's cooking is delicious. I can eat a lot every time!"
"It's more fun to eat with more people. If you don't want to cook in the future, just come to my house and eat."
"Okay, sometimes I'm too tired to do it, so I'll just go to my sister-in-law's house for a meal!"
“Hahaha, great!”
Finally, she fried some eggs with green onions and placed them on the table in the main room.
"Xiaobai, go call Brother Dayong and Ping'an to have dinner!"
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
