Chapter 84: Give Her Dad a Face

Chapter 84: Give Her Dad a Face

Since there is still enough time, wouldn’t it be a bit too little to build only ten chicken coops and ten duck coops?

"Girl." Gu Lianshan looked up and called Gu Tang, saying, "What about the forty chickens and ducks? You have built ten chicken coops and ten duck coops. What about the remaining twenty? Will they freeze to death?"

"This nest is for hens and ducks to lay eggs. Roosters and ducks don't lay eggs, so why build a nest for them? They are covered in hair, can they freeze to death?"

"What you said is true. I can really freeze to death!" Gu Lianshan clicked his tongue twice and talked about an old story.

"The winter when you were three was the coldest! Your grandmother raised two hens and treated them like treasures every day. She would bring them to her room and lock them up at night.

One day, your grandma had an argument with your grandpa and was so angry that she forgot about the hen and left it in the chicken coop in the backyard. The next morning your grandma remembered and went to the backyard, and saw that both hens were frozen solid! ”

"There's such a thing?" Gu Tang laughed gloatingly, "I'm afraid my grandma will be heartbroken!"

"It's not just that I'm heartbroken, your grandma hasn't recovered from the winter yet!"

Gu Tang was so happy that he asked again, "Did you eat the hen or sell it?"

Gu Lianshan curled his lips and said, "Your grandma said she sold it, but your eldest brother said that he smelled the aroma of meat at home. I guess your grandma secretly cooked it and shared it with your uncle's family."

Gu Tang: ...Tsk! There is no trace of this biased heart!

"They are just two hens. If you don't want to feed them, just say so. Who would want their meat? Why hide it like this? You are so petty! In her own words, it's not presentable enough!"

"Yes! Your grandma always says this is not presentable, that is not presentable. In our family, the most unpresentable person is herself."

Gu Ping'an was caught in the middle and lowered his head instantly. These were not things he could say. Only his second sister and father dared to say that.

Speaking of eating meat, Gu Tang remembered something: "Today is the twenty-ninth day of the Yang month (October), and tomorrow is the last day of the Yang month. After the Yang month, the day after will be the first day of the Winter month, which is your birthday.

When the time comes, I will kill two chickens and get two rabbits, and I will also buy you two more barrels of green wine, and we will prepare a good feast!

Just put it in our west wing and invite all your familiar friends and brothers to come, so that grandma can see who can't afford to eat meat? Except for my uncle's family, our family doesn't care about the things she has! ”

Gu Lianshan immediately grinned: "This is chicken, rabbit and green wine, this is very expensive!"

"How did it cost money? I killed the roosters in the yard, and I caught rabbits in the mountains. I just spent money to buy two barrels of green wine. That day was your birthday, and as a daughter, I had to do you a favor."

"Okay, okay! Daddy is waiting for you to give me a face!" Gu Lianshan was extremely happy with these words. He grinned, showing his upper and lower rows of teeth, and couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

After about half an hour, the chicken coop in the yard was basically completed.

Five bricklayers were repairing the chicken coops one by one. If there were any uneven spots, they would fix them up to ensure that every chicken coop and duck coop was straight and exactly the same!

The chicken coop and duck coop are separate and stepped, and if you calculate it, they don't take up much of the yard.

But the sudden appearance of a chicken coop in such a nice yard looks awkward no matter how you look at it.

The bricklayers looked at each other, feeling a little nervous, wondering whether their boss would be satisfied.

Even though they said they did the work completely according to the boss's wishes, some bosses would go back on their word after the work was done and find fault everywhere.

The masons' worries were completely unnecessary.

Gu Lianshan had no appreciation ability at all. Not only would he be willing to raise chickens and ducks in the yard, he would even be willing to raise pigs and sheep.

Although Gu Tang is better than Gu Lianshan, she is mostly a pragmatist. As long as it can bring her income, what's wrong with using a nice yard to raise chickens and ducks?

She is happy on her own and no one can interfere!

"Dad, take a look at this. How good are the craftsmen's skills?" Gu Tang couldn't tell whether it was good or not, so she could only ask her father to check.

If that's okay, then she'll pay.

Gu Lianshan checked it carefully and nodded to Gu Tang: "Good craftsmanship! We can't do it ourselves!"

Building a chicken coop is a job that requires a lot of attention. If it is built well, outsiders who come into the yard and see it will all praise it by saying: This is a family that can live a good life!

Gu Tang didn’t understand these things. If her father said it was a good craft, then it must be a good craft.

He took out his purse, counted out two hundred copper coins and handed them over.

The two hundred copper coins included adobe, stone bricks, bamboo coins, and the wages of five bricklayers.

After paying the bill, Gu Lianshan endured the pain and sent the person out of the house.

When he turned around, he couldn't help but yell to Gu Tang: "It's much more expensive!"

"There's nothing we can do. It's because we're in a hurry. If you're not in a hurry to go back, we can bring back the adobe bricks and other materials and slowly build them ourselves. It can be done with just a few dozen copper coins."

It's already been built, but you still complain it's too expensive. Aren't you just making yourself uncomfortable?

Gu Tang ignored him and walked around the chicken coop by himself.

The mud has not dried yet, so the chicken and duck coops cannot be touched for the time being. Just wait overnight and the chickens and ducks can be put in early tomorrow morning.

It was getting late and time for dinner, so Gu Tang asked her father to go to the kitchen to cook so that he wouldn't have to keep complaining.

Gu Ping'an was also ordered over by her to help watch the fire.

There was rice and noodles in the kitchen. Gu Lianshan wanted to cook some white noodles porridge, but when he was about to suggest it, he was retorted by Gu Tang.

"Can you please stop mentioning the word 'porridge'? I spent so much money to buy a yard, is it just to give up millet porridge and eat white flour porridge instead?"

Gu Tang was speechless and pointed at the rice bag: "Steamed rice! I also brought the two pheasants I killed at home. I'll cook them together later. Isn't rice and chicken better than your porridge?!"

Gu Lianshan was stunned by what he said. He really didn't expect that his daughter would hate Huhu so much.

Okay, if you don’t want to eat it, then don’t eat it. Just eat steamed rice.

Gu Lianshan had always been a frugal person, so he didn't steam much rice, thinking that there was still meat, so he only needed to eat until he was 70% full.

Gu Tang disagreed with his stinginess, walked up and filled another bowl of rice, glared at her father, turned around and went outside to get the pheasant.

She brought a pheasant and instructed her father to chop the chicken into small pieces.

With Gu Tang watching, Gu Lianshan had no choice but to chop up the two pheasants.

Then, Gu Tang taught him how to make stir-fried pheasant meat.

Pheasant meat is rather dry and tough, with little oil or moisture, and there is not much seasoning available at the moment. In order to suppress the fishy smell, it would be better to stir-fry it.

Gu Tang had never made it before, but thought that the method should be similar to that of stir-fried rabbit meat, so she instructed her father to do it.

For Gu Tang, cooking occasionally is just a hobby, but don't blame her for being angry if she cooks every day.

After living for two lifetimes, no one has the right to make her cook every day!
