After Black Lotus became a reborn person, he went completely crazy

The bellows are indeed a bit heavy and require too much effort to operate.

But Xia Ran was steaming rice, and she didn't need too much fire, as long as the fire below didn't go out. There was no electricity, and no electric rice cooker, which was the bad thing. It was extremely inconvenient to eat rice, and it was easy to burn the pot.

After cutting the potatoes, I washed some eggplants and peppers and planned to make some roasted eggplants. Eggplants absorb oil, so frying them would take too much oil, so Xia Ran skipped the frying step.

After cutting into dice, put it directly in another large pot and dry-fry it slowly over low heat. Then dry-fry the chili peppers until they are raw.

I used sugar, tomato sauce, salt, etc. to make a sauce for later use. I also cut some peppers, minced garlic, and chopped green onions for later use.

Gui Niang and Shitou were outside helping to pass various things to everyone.

The rice was almost done, so I turned off the fire and let it continue to simmer. When Xia Ran finished all this, she left the kitchen, intending to check on everyone's progress and ask when they were going to eat.

The second brother asked Xia Ran to send someone to buy some bricks, or some dried soil from other people's houses. While he was still at home in the next few days, he helped to build the house.

Since the second brother wanted to help, Xia Ran naturally had no reason to refuse. He agreed directly:

"This house will be built with bricks. Buy more bricks. Also, build a big shed next to it, and three big stoves and two super large panels. I will cook and sell food. Also, build a dry toilet at the location Uncle Qi just pointed out, and pave the floor with bricks and cement."

As he said that, he gave some money to the second brother and asked him to help buy bricks and materials.

If I were to say what I was most uncomfortable with after traveling through time, one of the things was that it was extremely inconvenient to take a shower, and I could only wipe myself with water. Another thing was that it was extremely inconvenient to go to the toilet, not to mention the stench, and I had to clean it myself, which was even worse. I couldn't stand it!

The other areas can be overcome, but these two areas are impossible to overcome. When I think of this, I especially miss the toilets and showers of later generations. Those things were really well invented.

The second brother is a steel bar worker with good skills. In recent years, the strong laborers from nearby villages have gone out to work. The group of people he leads can not only find work every year, but also get their wages at the end of the year.

Many people work outside for a year and don't get a penny back, which means they have worked for nothing. It is too difficult and laborious to ask for wages.

This group of people had high wages and made a considerable amount of money. They were excellent contractors. It was a pity that they died too early, otherwise they would have achieved great success in the future.

He has ideas, strong skills, and a good personality. I have to find an opportunity to remind the second brother and his wife to go to a big city for a check-up in advance.

This time I can't go to the city where I went to see a doctor in my previous life. It's too rip-off and the medical level is poor. Otherwise, I can go to Xijing, where the level and reputation are both excellent.

The second son took the money and rode away on his bicycle, first bringing back the bricks, rafters, sand and cement.

The most popular and commonly used rafters are pine rafters. They are not available locally and are brought back from other places. They are round, straight, smooth, and uniform in thickness. They are very good in terms of both ornamental and durability.

Xia Ran asked Uncle Nine and Uncle Ten, and they told her the approximate meal time. Xia Ran went straight back to the kitchen to cook. By the time she cooked, it would probably be almost time for dinner.

Shitou followed in and helped to light the fire. Jing was afraid of being discovered by her father, so she stayed in the kitchen and didn't dare to go out.

Shitou asked in surprise: "Jingwazi, when did you come? Why didn't I see you?"

The yellow-haired girl replied in a dull voice: "I've been here for quite a while. I sneaked in."

"Why did you sneak in here?"

The little thing stopped talking. Xia Ran guessed that he probably wanted to save face and didn't want to talk about the beating he had received.

Sure enough, the yellow-haired girl answered evasively: "My father doesn't allow me to come to my aunt's house to eat and drink, and he said he would beat me if I come again." She didn't mention at all that she had been slapped.

No matter how big or small a person is, he or she must save face.

Shitou said: "Oh, your dad just left on his bicycle for something."

The yellow-haired girl immediately became happy: "Is it true?" She became visibly lively.

Shitou said with certainty: "Of course it's true. I just watched him leave. I didn't lie to you."

"Oh yeah, I'm alive again, I can move freely again, hahahaha."

But before the happy ending came to an end, Xia Ran added: "Your dad went shopping and will be back soon."

The little butt just left the stool and was about to go out to have fun, but after hearing this, she immediately sat back down. The kitchen was still safe, she would not go anywhere, she just loved to stay in the kitchen.

With his shoulders drooped, he said in a tone of deceit: "Madam, I just like to light a fire, so I'd better light a fire. I don't trust others to light a fire!"

The yellow curly hair on his head has all fallen down, but this curl is quite suitable for the scene.

Ha, Xia Ran rolled her eyes at her, speechless at the shamelessness of this little thing, I believed you! That spirit disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared.

From listless to clever, and then from clever to listless, these few seconds are reflected in her. The speed of changing her face is so fast that it is amazing.

Seeing this, Shitou burst into laughter and gave her a heavy slap on the head. Under normal circumstances, the two would have started a fight because of this slap on the head.

But now, the little thing was very sensible and endured it. Shitou was not discouraged and teased him: "I didn't expect you to be so afraid of your father? You are too timid, this is not like you!"

The yellow-haired girl said helplessly: "Oh, you don't understand. I'm not afraid of my father, I'm afraid of his slap. It hurts so much when he hits me." She has tried it and doesn't want to try it again.

"Well, it seems like what you said is correct."

Xia Ran had just finished cooking and was helping everyone serve the meal with Gui Niang when Lao Er came back with two tractors full of bricks.

The person who helped deliver the bricks was an old acquaintance who had met me before, the older one who came to announce the death last time. It was a small world. There was only one brick factory in my town.

There is one special feature of Xia Ran’s cooking. She is generous with the amount of meat and oil used. The food is rich in fat and tastes good.

The cold noodles were also very popular, but they were eaten too quickly, and before they could even taste the aroma, they were already gone. They said it was delicious and satisfying.

Everyone was very careful with food, and they would wash the bowls they had eaten from as if they had been washed with water. Many people would lick the bowls with their tongues after eating to avoid wasting food.

Xia Ran couldn't accept this. It wasn't that she couldn't accept their behavior, but she couldn't accept sharing some bowls with them.
