Chapter 194 Sour orange, dog food
It’s not that the previous master was a bad person. The previous master was also very good to them. It’s just that they would never do anything to condescend to others. They have maids and servants by their side, so why would they need to do it themselves?
The three of them worked together to carry a few baskets of things and soon finished them. The coachman still felt dizzy when he drove the carriage away.
Xu Taohua looked at the oranges in the basket and saliva began to flow from her mouth. Just as she was about to reach out and pick up one, Bai Yao beside her had already picked one up and handed it to her.
"Thank you, Ayao."
After taking a bite, his eyes lit up. Shen Li saw it and asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law, is it delicious?"
"Mm, delicious and appetizing."
As the fetus in her belly grew bigger, she felt more and more tired recently, and even ate less. But after eating this orange today, she felt her appetite was instantly opened.
Lin Cuicui was very happy to hear this. She also picked one up, took a bite, and then narrowed her eyes.
Seeing this, Shen Li suppressed her laughter and said, "Mom, my sister-in-law is pregnant, so the taste will be a little different from ours."
Lin Cuicui swallowed the orange and ate another slice. "Ali, this orange is a little sour at first, but it becomes sweeter as you eat it."
"is it?"
"Well, you try it."
As she said that, she dropped a squeeze of orange onto Shen Li's lips. Shen Li opened her mouth and took a bite. As soon as she bit through it, a sour feeling rushed straight to the top of her head.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He didn't expect that his own mother could be so...naughty at times.
"Is it tasty?"
"What's delicious? Let me try it."
As soon as Shen Changshan walked into the yard, he heard the conversation between the mother and daughter and asked casually.
Shen Li looked at Lin Cuicui with burning eyes, hoping that she would not favor one over the other.
Lin Cuicui had a gentle smile on her face. "A-Li brought back a basket of oranges from the farm. I think they are delicious. You can try them."
As he said this, he did the same thing and passed half of it to Shen Changshan's mouth. Shen Changshan was not at all prepared and directly put it in his mouth and bit it, looking at the mother and daughter in front of him with expectant eyes.
"good to eat."
After she finished speaking, Lin Cuicui handed him another slice, as if she was going to give him the whole orange.
Shen Li looked away, unable to bear to watch. If she had not accurately captured the twitching of her father's mouth at that moment, she would have almost believed it.
Shen Li walked back to the eaves and sat down, and saw her mother feeding all the oranges to Shen Changshan.
Wow, the way dad coaxes his wife is simply amazing.
That orange is 90% sour and not sweet at all. I can’t even stand it. I wonder if my dad’s teeth have become sour?
After eating, perhaps because she felt a little guilty, Lin Cuicui poured Shen Changshan a glass of boiled water.
Shen Li shook her head. It was Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten. It was so unbearable to watch!
I decided to go with Bai Yao to sort out the vegetables we brought back. Those that last longer will be kept for now, and those that don’t will be eaten quickly in the next two days.
Fortunately, I have to cook for the workers at home at noon, so the food will be consumed quickly and there is no need to worry about waste.
When I was sorting it out, I found that Zhangzhuangtou had actually asked someone to catch crabs. Now it is past the best season for eating crabs, so they are not plump, but fortunately they are big.
At a quick glance, there are 30 in total, just enough for tonight's meal.
I found a wooden basin and put the crab in it. It was still alive and kicking. I haven't eaten such a big crab in a long time.
There is in the space, isn't this busy during this period? I haven't had time to taste it yet, but I didn't expect Zhang Zhuangtou to think of this.
There were five fat mandarin fish in another basket, and there was a wooden barrel inside. However, perhaps because they had been out of water for too long, their bellies had turned upside down.
"Miss, have you eaten all these fish tonight?"
"Well, there are a lot of people in my family, and these few are just enough for us to eat."
Bai Yao picked up the bucket and said, "Then I'll go take care of the fish."
The way she skillfully killed the fish reminded Shen Li of the first time she killed a fish.
Every time the fish jumped, she jumped, and the knife in her hand also shook. The scene was hilarious.
But she stubbornly insisted on killing it herself and refused to let anyone else take over.
Now, Shen Li was killing the fish without blinking an eye. What went wrong was going on. Could it be that he was affected by his own family?
While thinking about this, he took the crab and went to wash it. He didn't have a brush, so he could only break off the willow branches and shake them apart to use as a brush.
However, this was a bit slow. After a while, the three brothers came.
Soon, several brothers came back. The third and fourth brothers saw her cleaning crabs and went over to help.
"Ali, this crab is quite big. Where did you get it from?"
"Those two farms are coming up."
Shen Yuanzhou asked with great interest: "Are those two manors big?"
"It's quite big. Brother San can go and have a look when he has time."
"Well, let's go later. After the house is ready, I will go with you."
"Okay, bring my parents along to help us get to know the place."
"Okay."
Shen Qian'an on the side listened quietly to his brother and sister talking. He has never been a conversationalist.
In the evening, the family ate all the crabs and fish, and of course, other dishes.
Xu Taohua also wanted to eat it, but when she thought about the fact that she was pregnant and couldn't eat such cold food, she gave up and concentrated on eating the fish and other dishes.
My little sister said that these are crabs from the farm, so we will be able to eat them in the future.
On the second day, the workers began to put up the roof and then entered into the tiling operation in full swing.
Half of the people were assigned to lay tiles, and the other half were responsible for building walls. Every day, ox carts or horse carts carrying blue bricks entered the village, and the villagers of Daohua Village had gotten used to it.
It took only four days to complete the roof construction. At first glance, the blue brick and tile houses were spacious and bright. The yard looked a bit desolate because of its messy appearance.
But it doesn’t matter, after the outer wall is built and then the upper wall, you can start decorating the yard.
Behind the gate, Shen Changshan made a special trip to the county town and spent 100 taels of silver to buy a heavy door, which has now been installed.
Shen Li stood outside the wall. The wall was built to a height of two meters and two meters as she requested. Although it could not keep out people who knew martial arts, it could keep out ordinary thieves.
Shen Li grew a lot taller during this period, as if she had grown taller. She grew from 150cm to about 165cm in an instant. She didn't notice it at first, and it was Bai Yao who discovered it first.
……
"Miss, you seem to have grown taller?"
When Shen Li heard this, she was shocked, "Really?"
I didn’t grow much when I was always concerned about my height before, but I grew taller after not paying attention to it for a while.
"Really, you are so much taller than me now."
Bai Yao said seriously, and did not forget to stretch out his hand to gesture.
Only then did Shen Li notice that she had grown a lot taller without realizing it.
Hey!
