"Sister-in-law, we're leaving first. We've packed everything for you. You can just come out and put it away later. Also, the stove isn't ready yet. It'll probably have to wait until tomorrow. We'll come over tomorrow morning."
Qin Zijin hadn't finished eating yet when Zhao Gouzi's voice came from outside.
Qin Zijin walked out with the bowl of rice, only to find that they had all finished eating, and the dishes had been cleared and washed and placed on the table.
The stove in the kitchen is half built, and the chimney is not yet completed. If it is not completed, it cannot be used at all. We have to wait for them to come tomorrow.
Qin Zijin went to the kitchen to take a look and was very satisfied.
Not only was the stove rebuilt, but a simple cabinet was also built on the wall, which makes it very convenient to place bowls and chopsticks on it.
Qin Zijin planned to go find the old carpenter again during the day to see if he could help him make a few cabinets.
Once the cabinets are built and the house is repaired, we can spend this New Year in peace and tranquility.
"Sister-in-law, we are not deliberately slacking off just because we want to have more meals." When Zhao Gouzi saw Qin Zijin coming out to look at the kitchen, he hurried over to explain a few words.
"I know, thank you, you did a great job, I'm very satisfied." Qin Zijin said to Zhao Gouzi with a smile.
"I'm glad you like it. Let's go then. We'll come back early tomorrow morning."
Zhao Gouzi said hello and left happily.
After everyone left, Qin Zijin cleaned up the dishes and cleared the table before going back to continue eating.
"Mom, can we live in the new house now?" Tang Simeng bit the end of her chopsticks and looked at Qin Zijin, her little face still showing some excitement.
Seeing her happy look, Qin Zijin couldn't help but smile, "Mengmeng, do you want to live in the new house?"
"Yes, I want to live in the new house." Tang Simeng nodded seriously and poked Tang Ruixuan next door, "Brother wants to live there too."
Qin Zijin looked at Tang Ruixuan when he heard that.
Tang Ruixuan looked arrogant and glanced at Tang Simeng unhappily. Seeing Qin Zijin looking at him, he said reluctantly, "Just, just think about it a little bit."
"Then we will build a beautiful new house for you to live in." Qin Zijin looked at the brother and sister with a smile.
After everything was dealt with in the evening and the two little ones fell into a deep sleep, Qin Zijin lay down and his consciousness entered the portable space.
She plans to make wine.
The traditional winemaking method requires complicated equipment and fermentation procedures, and the koji must be made before the next steps can be carried out.
Qin Zijin didn't plan to make it too complicated. There was a lot of glutinous rice planted in the space, and glutinous rice wine was very simple. As for the koji, it could be directly exchanged in the system mall, and the quality was not bad. Qin Zijin was too lazy to spend the effort to make it himself.
After working all night, he finally sealed all the wine jars. Qin Zijin dug a hole in the open space outside the hut and buried all the wine.
As for fruit wine, it does not need to be buried underground. You can drink it when the time comes.
Qin Zijin made green plum wine, peach wine, and mulberry wine, as well as some common fruits, and also made several jars of medicinal wine with medicinal herbs.
According to different symptoms, add different medicinal materials, soak for more than a month, and then you can drink it.
After finishing my work, I took a short nap.
Zhao Daniu and his friends came early in the morning and were already there before dawn.
Qin Zijin got up, washed up, and made breakfast for them.
Breakfast was steamed buns and white porridge, and I also had some pickled vegetables that I made myself.
A group of grown men ate with gusto, scraping the bottom of the pot clean.
Qin Zijin was also a little helpless, as she and the two little ones hadn't eaten yet.
There was no choice but to take out the cupcakes prepared in advance.
"Is Qin Zijin at home? There is a letter for you." At around nine o'clock, the postman came to deliver the letter again.
Qin Zijin went to get the letter, took a look at it, and knew it was sent from home.
Ever since the original owner had a quarrel with his family over returning to the city, he was unwilling to communicate with them. For three whole years, not a single letter was sent from home.
Recently, however, letters have been coming quite frequently. In just a few days, she has already received three letters.
"A letter from my elder brother?" After opening the letter, Qin Zijin was stunned.
He was not trying to persuade her to go back, but just asked her carefully whether she was living well here and whether she needed anything. He also said that he had sent her a few sets of clothes, the latest styles in the city, and some snacks that she used to like to eat. He estimated that after the letter arrived, the package would arrive in two or three days.
Qin Zijin held the letter in his hand, feeling mixed emotions for a moment.
The original owner's family had nothing to say about her.
During the years since she came here to work in the countryside, she would send some money and things from time to time. However, after the original owner married Tang Shen, her family became very angry and they didn't send anything or letters for a long time.
After reading the letter, Qin Zijin sat in the yard in a daze.
She was actually a little reluctant to go back to the Qin family.
After all, I am not the original one, just a fake. If I am accidentally exposed, I don’t know what will happen.
After so many days of traveling through time, Qin Zijin still held on to hope, always wondering what if he could suddenly travel back through time again?
Her sense of immersion was not strong at the beginning, and she always felt a slight alienation towards this era, and towards all the people and things in this era.
However, in recent times, she has gradually begun to adapt and get used to life here.
Now that she has become Qin Zijin, it is naturally impossible for her to have no contact with the Qin family in the future. Some things must be faced.
"Sister-in-law, come and take a look at the kitchen. Are you satisfied with it? Is the stove okay?" Just as I was in a daze, Zhao Gouzi's voice came over.
Qin Zijin put away the letter, stood up and walked into the kitchen.
The stove is very comfortable and suitable for her height, so cooking is not too tiring.
Zhao Gouzi is indeed a professionally trained bricklayer. In this regard, he is much better than other people in the village.
"It's very good, I like it very much. You have worked so hard." Qin Zijin looked at the current kitchen. The kitchen was originally simply built with a few wooden boards. Now it is spacious and bright. There are several windows, which are well ventilated and the lighting is much better than before.
The stove, sink for washing dishes and vegetables, and cooking table were all made at the same time.
Although it cannot compare with the beautifully decorated kitchens of later generations, it is a rare luxury in this era.
"As long as sister-in-law likes it, we will continue to repair the exterior wall for you. It should be done in the next two days. It's a pity that I won't be able to eat the dishes cooked by sister-in-law often in the future." Zhao Gouzi's face was full of regret.
"There will be opportunities in the future." Qin Zijin just smiled.
