Xia Tian also heard their conversation and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Did you encounter any problems?"
Qiu Mengyun complained: "It's the production team that's causing trouble. They don't give us food and force us to do it ourselves."
"Also, I heard from Brother Long that they don't seem to have a complete range of supplies, so it might be difficult to cook for myself."
Seeing Xia Tian's eyes looking at him, Xie Jinglong immediately explained: "It's like this. Although the production team provided us with vegetables and fresh meat, there is no place to cook."
Xia Tian asked in confusion: "No place to cook? What does that mean?"
"Is it possible that such a large farm doesn't even have a kitchen?"
Xie Jinglong: "There is a kitchen, but it looks like no one has used it for a long time."
"And in the kitchen, there was no natural gas or liquefied gas, only a collapsed earthen stove."
"Don't you think this is putting us in a difficult position? How are we supposed to cook?"
Hearing him say this, Xia Tian also asked with concern: "What about the kitchen utensils? Are the pots, pans, and utensils complete?"
Xie Jinglong nodded: "Yeah! Although there is no fire, the pots and pans are quite complete."
"In addition to these, even the daily necessities are fully prepared."
Xia Tian smiled and said, "That's good. As long as there's rice and a pot, everything else is a small problem."
Seeing Xia Tian's relaxed expression, Xie Jinglong asked excitedly, "Brother Xia, are you saying that you can use a clay stove and can repair the collapsed one?"
Xia Tian said confidently: "Don't even mention it just collapsed. Even if there is no stove here, I can build a new one on the spot."
Qiu Mengyun asked quietly, "You're not bragging, are you? Haven't you always lived in the community? When did you ever use a clay stove and learn how to repair it?"
Xia Tian smiled and said, "Your man is very capable, just wait and see!"
After showing off to Qiu Mengyun, he didn't waste any more time.
He turned to look at Xie Jinglong opposite him: "Brother Long, where is the kitchen? Could you please take me there?"
Xie Jinglong nodded: "Okay, follow me."
"It's not far, just two rows behind our row of houses."
After saying that, he took Xia Tian and the others to the kitchen.
After arriving at the kitchen, Xia Tian glanced around casually.
I found that although the kitchen was old, the house was in good condition.
Apart from the fact that it's been unused for a long time and there's a bit of dust inside, there aren't any major problems.
Xia Tian: "Not bad. It seems that the production team must have hired someone to renovate this kitchen before we came."
"Otherwise, even the stove would have collapsed. It's impossible for this kitchen to be so intact."
"That's good. It saves us a lot of trouble. Otherwise, we would have to rebuild the stove outside."
Xie Jinglong said, "Brother Xia, although I am a few years older than you, I know nothing about bricklaying."
"I'll trouble you from now on. As for us, just tell us what you need."
Xia Tian nodded: "Okay, now I will do a simple division of labor."
"Mengyun, you and Sister Yunting, clean the kitchen together."
"After you finish cleaning, wash all the pots and pans in the cabinet over there twice with clean water."
Qiu Mengyun and He Yunting nodded at the same time and said, "Don't worry, we can still handle this."
After arranging them, Xia Tian looked at Xie Jinglong beside him.
"Brother Long, do you know how to make mud?"
Xie Jinglong nodded: "I know, after all, who didn't play in the mud when they were little?"
Xia Tian: "Then find a shovel, go to the yard and dig some soil, then add water and mix it into a sticky mud."
"By the way, I just saw some stone powder in the corner of the yard. Remember to mix some in when making the mud."
"You don't need too much. A washbasin is enough."
Xie Jinglong readily agreed: "Don't worry, leave it to me."
After arranging everyone else, Xia Tian took out a tile knife that he had just picked up from a utility room.
He squatted on the ground and began to clean the mud and dust that were originally stuck on the bricks.
The several people cooperated very well. Xia Tian had just cleaned the bricks, and Xie Jinglong had also mixed the mud.
Xia Tian asked him to put the mud into an abandoned washbasin and bring it to the kitchen.
Then, he picked up the tile knife very skillfully and began to lay bricks on the collapsed stove.
Qiu Mengyun, who had already washed the dishes, stood aside with curiosity, watching Xia Tian skillfully place the green bricks on the stove.
She was surprised and said, "No, you really can do it?"
Xia Tian replied without even looking up: "Haha! You don't think I've been fooling you just now, do you?"
"Don't you think about it? This show is live. If I hadn't said that, I could have just admitted it directly. Why bother trying to be tough and embarrass myself?"
Qiu Mengyun shook her head: "That's not the case. I thought you only knew a little bit, but I didn't expect you to be so good at it."
"If I didn't know your background, I would have thought you majored in civil engineering in college and had an internship at a construction site during the summer vacation."
Xia Tian smiled and explained, "Didn't I tell you that my grandfather lived in the countryside when I was a child?"
"At that time, I would live with my grandfather every weekend or holiday. Old houses always have some problems, so I gradually learned the skill of bricklaying."
