Seeing that the fish soup looked delicious today, Li Lanzhen went into the kitchen, took out a large bowl from her spatial storage, filled it with a portion, and then put five wild vegetable cakes into the same bowl before storing them in her spatial storage.
She was thinking, "Would the silver fox be foolish enough not to eat it?"
Of course the silver fox will eat it.
While I was in the space, I didn't feel hungry, but my sense of taste was still there.
When Li Lanzhen put a bowl of fragrant fish soup and wild vegetable cakes into the space.
Silver Fox knew that it was that lady who had prepared dinner for him.
He had already built a simple shack next to the medicinal herb field.
Silver Fox had stayed here for a few days and found the temperature to be neither too hot nor too cold, very comfortable, and there probably weren't any storms or strong winds.
So they only set up a shed, inside which was a double wooden bed that Li Lanzhen had taken out.
Bedding, blankets, and pillows were all prepared for him.
They even thoughtfully prepared several sets of clothes for him.
These clothes were, of course, looted from the storeroom of the Emperor's brother-in-law's residence.
Tables, chairs, benches, pots, pans, and other utensils were all prepared for him.
At this moment, Silver Fox held a bowl of steaming fish soup, took a big bite of the soft wild vegetable pancake, and drank a sip of soup, which instantly healed all the emotions he had been feeling lately, such as resentment, hatred, and helplessness.
Silver Fox's eyes were slightly red.
He was thinking about his sister, brother-in-law, and nephew, wondering what their situation was now, or where they had ended up.
Perhaps they captured her and tortured her?
And that damned imperial brother-in-law I assassinated, I wonder if he's dead or not?
No, when that lady comes in next time, he will make a request to her that he wants to leave.
After thinking for a moment, Silver Fox decided to briefly tell the lady about his past and the things he was going to do.
After dinner, it's the most relaxing and enjoyable time of the day for everyone.
At this time, the children also sat with the adults, listening attentively to what the adults had done that day.
The children also know that this is their home, and their fathers, brothers, mothers, and aunts are all building their home little by little.
Sometimes adults tease children, asking them to tell them what they did that day.
I won't be a glutton who only knows how to eat.
...
Li Lanzhen didn't say anything today. She didn't want to tell everyone about the existence of that small medicinal herb field so soon.
Just sit down and listen to what they did today.
Han Shunde said that today they drew out the foundation of every household's yard.
That day, Li Lanzhen said she wanted to build a courtyard for each of her three sons.
That evening, every family was discussing this idea.
In the end, the elders decided to build a courtyard house for each of their sons or their adult grandsons.
I usually live alone, but we eat together.
They all thought this approach was novel, but thinking about it, it was quite good. It saved the whole family from living together in a chaotic mess, and the elderly had to deal with their children and grandchildren's lawsuits.
This increased the number of courtyards that were built.
However, no one objected or got annoyed; everyone happily went about making the plans.
Since they didn't have a ruler to measure, they used a rope.
Once you have a rough plan of the yard's dimensions, you can measure, calculate, and arrange the rest of the yards according to that plan, one by one.
Zhang Deshui's side is planning to dig a large canal from the river in the reed marshes to connect to the farmland.
This makes irrigating the farmland more convenient.
At this moment, Li Xishui spoke.
"Brother Shunde, my father and I are in the mountains, and we've already found a piece of rock that we like."
These stones, with a little trimming, can be used as a foundation.
It's convenient that we don't need to cross the river on the Dongshan side.
However, transporting the stones down the mountain from so many houses and courtyards would take more than ten days.
After hearing this, Li Lanzhen asked her brother.
"Stream, take me to see where those stones are in a little while, and what their quality is like."
Li Xishui said, "Okay, sister, let's go take a look now."
Han Minghai stood up and said to Li Lanzhen.
"Mother, I'll go too."
Li Lanzhen paused for a moment. She had originally planned to use her spatial ability to transport herself there once she found a suitable place, but now she thought better of it.
It's better to do this kind of thing by yourself.
"Okay, those who want to go can go, but the children shouldn't go. It's getting late, so everyone should wash up and go to the treehouse to sleep."
Han Shunde, Xue Laohu, Xue Bao, Han Zhaoxiong, and Zhang Deshui also went along.
Li Xishui led them to the stone site they had chosen in Dongshan.
Upon seeing this, Han Zhaoxiong said happily.
"It's not far from our village. We just need to transport it down the mountain and then transport it there."
When everyone stood on the mountain and looked down, it was indeed so.
The site where they chose to build their village is indeed not far from here.
This quarry is over 100 square meters.
The surrounding area was covered with tall trees, but this patch of land was barren.
It was all stones of varying heights and sizes.
As soon as Li Xishui arrived, he excitedly told everyone.
"Sister, look at these stones. Whether they are big or small, they are all quite regular, and there is always one flat side. They are perfect for making a foundation."
My dad and I just need to trim the edges and corners of the stone to make them a little more square, and it will be even better.
Li Lanzhen examined this area carefully and realized that even if they were to build houses and lay foundations for their yards, they wouldn't be able to excavate all the stones here.
Perfect, the rest can be used to build a factory later.
She smiled and looked at Li Xishui as she spoke.
“It is indeed good. Once it is transported down the mountain, you and your father can slowly polish and repair it.”
After the group descended the mountain, Li Lanzhen headed towards the foundation of the village courtyard.
She wanted to see the baseline they had dug.
Han Mingjiang walked beside Li Lanzhen.
He grinned foolishly and kept introducing things to Li Lanzhen.
“Mother, we’ve finished drawing all of this. Each family has its own courtyard, and both the front and back courtyards are quite large.”
Uncle Shunde, since there's plenty of space here, we'll build it to be a bit more spacious.
Between the courtyards, there are rows and rows of houses, with a small path in between that allows vehicles to pass.
Uncle Shunde also said that he wanted to build a road that would lead all the way to the farmland.
Li Lanzhen nodded in agreement; that was indeed the case.
When building a road, it's best to pave it with gravel so that it won't become muddy in wind and rain, making it easier to walk on.
Li Lanzhen said this to Han Shunde after thinking about it.
"Once the main roads in our village are repaired, they can also be paved with gravel so that the roads won't be muddy when it rains."
Han Shunde laughed heartily as he spoke.
"Yes, you've thought this through. Once the house and yard are repaired, we'll repair the road too."
Han Mingjiang started his long-winded introduction again.
"Mom, look, every family's yard is the same size, and they are all very neatly arranged in rows."
When Li Lanzhen arrived at this plot of land in the village, she saw that all the courtyards looked as if they had been dug deep with a shovel, and they did indeed look very neat and orderly in rows.
She glanced around and saw a spot that had clearly been tidied up; it was flat and clean.
The place is still quite spacious. Once she uses her spatial ability to gather all the stones, she can just pile them up here.
She pointed to the area in front of her and said.
"This must be where the stones and timber are stored."
Han Shunde said.
"Yes, this is where materials like stones, sand, and timber are stored."
Xue Laohu said.
"I'll take some men into the mountains to cut down trees tomorrow."
Li Lanzheng quickly continued.
"The timber you have cut down, you should leave on the mountain."
Just let me know the location when the time comes.
No one asked her why, nor did they continue the topic.
Looking at these patches of traces of courtyards, everyone seemed to see the courtyards and houses rising from the ground, and they were all very excited.
