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

I heard that they were getting divorced later, and since then, Xia Ran has not paid attention to him. Because the retribution Xia Ran wanted had all been fulfilled, and she let it go.

However, after hearing the news, Xia Ran was still happy for many days. She even bought some delicious food and drank some wine to celebrate.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to have a son. You can divorce yourself first. After the divorce, you can have the child with whoever you want. I don't care.

But you don't divorce me, and you keep wasting my time and have an affair with someone else. What's going on? It's so disgusting!

I forgot to mention that my ex-father-in-law had a heart attack when he heard that the little grandson he had loved for many years was not his biological son...

After a few people finished picking the leeks, the people who were busy outside also stopped because it was completely dark.

Without lights, they couldn't work, so everyone left. Xia Ran saw them off and closed the door.

I put all the things I had prepared in the kitchen into the space. I also washed and cut the chives and put them into the space before going to sleep.

The next day, Xia Ran woke up and lit the stove for making tea. She prepared tea leaves and sugar, cut the steamed buns into bite-sized pieces, and laid them out neatly for the craftsmen to drink tea with.

I started to shred potatoes and chop stuffing. Soon, Gui Niang and the craftsmen arrived.

Some people had already had tea at home before coming here, but some hadn't. People here are not used to making breakfast specially, they just eat dry steamed buns and dry biscuits with tea.

Seeing that the stove was already lit and there were steamed buns to eat, everyone came over to sit down and drink tea and eat steamed buns. After eating, those who had finished went back to work first, and there was no need to urge them, everyone was very conscientious.

The inner courtyard wall was completed last night, and now the only thing left is to lay glass fragments on it.

Xia Ran found a few pairs of worn gloves and some old clothes that were burned and thrown away for everyone to wrap around their hands to prevent scratches. With the equipment in place, everyone started working.

Yesterday afternoon, I collected a lot of broken glass. When the children in the village heard that they could exchange broken glass for money, they went crazy and searched all over the place for broken bottles and glass.

After collecting them back, the stones were washed with water and then broken into pieces, so they could be used directly today.

Just now, two older children from the next village came over and asked if we still collected broken bottles.

Xia Ran said directly: "Collect them all before tonight."

If there are enough fragments, she can have someone build a circle around the outer courtyard wall. Who knows, will someone hear that there is no man in their family now and come here to steal chickens and dogs?

It would be great if we could get everything done at once, while there were many people and enough labor. After all, I was a widow now, and there were many unknowns.

In the first half of this year, the second brother's family was robbed by a thief who climbed over the wall and broke into the outer courtyard in the middle of the night. The thief threw a drugged bun to the guard dog.

The second son's wife heard the noise and realized something was wrong, so she made a loud noise and scared the visitor away. But by then the dog had been poisoned and was foaming at the mouth, and died soon after.

The second son's wife dragged the dead dog into the inner courtyard, locked the inner door, and went to sleep. The final result was that the second son's family treated everyone to a meal of dog meat the next day.

During that time, several dogs were lost in the village. They were poisoned to death in the middle of the night and then stolen for meat. So, the people in this place are very interesting, and they steal things in a unique way.

No one steals money or food because they know it is illegal and they don't have the courage to do it. The bad guys are very limited.

The only thing they dared to do was to steal a chicken from the east house and a dog from the west house.

I know in my heart that even if this is discovered, I will only be scolded, and the worst that can happen is that I have to pay someone a chicken or a dog as compensation. There will be no other losses or hidden dangers.

It's just because of poverty and greed.

The second son's wife, holding her youngest son, also arrived to help. The work of chopping the stuffing was taken over by the second son's wife and Gui Niang.

The borrowed large steamer also arrived. Xia Ran cleaned it, wiped it clean, and then wiped it again with an oily oilcloth to prevent sticking.

I started to prepare the filling, starting with the leek filling, adding a little vermicelli and diced potatoes, and melting the meat sauce and lard in a hot pan.

Directly mix the stuffing with the melted lard, drain the pure meat from the meat sauce, and then chop it into small pieces. Divide it into three portions, add it to the stuffing, and mix well.

“This bun must be delicious!”

"With so much meat and oil, it would be strange if it didn't smell good."

Once the filling was ready, everyone started making dumplings faster. Gui Niang called Shitou and Jingwazi from outside to help boil water.

In the past two days, Gui Niang has also discovered the benefits of using child laborers. As long as the benefits are given, the child laborers are particularly obedient and reliable. At least it is more effective than calling her own men.

When a man doesn't want to move, he is like a deaf person. Even if you shout at him until you are exhausted, he can pretend not to hear you.

When the water boils, the buns are almost wrapped and can be steamed directly.

Xia Ran makes buns quickly and well. The number of folds on a bun is fixed, not too many or too few. The stuffing never comes out, and the skin is thin and the stuffing is large.

This was due to her experience of setting up a stall and serving food to her grandson's family in her previous life. Xia Ran packed two and a half dumplings while others could only pack one.

In the end, the other two gave up making dumplings and started rolling out the wrappers. Otherwise, the wrappers would be in short supply.

In this way, the four wrapped buns were quickly placed on the boiling water pot to steam them, and then other buns were continued to be wrapped.

"Fortunately, we made enough noodles, otherwise there wouldn't be enough to eat. When I just went out, I saw several more people coming in, all to help."

"Well, yes, fortunately I prepared a lot."

"Oh, I also saw Grandma Tingwazi standing at the original door, looking over here curiously."

"It's okay. After we remove the door and move it over today, that side will be blocked soon. Once it's blocked, it will be fine to avoid bad luck."

These buns, which are the size of an adult woman's fist, can be cooked if you steam them over high heat for 15 minutes and then over low heat for 10 minutes.

When the first steamer was finished, I opened the lid and it was so fragrant that the smell could be smelled from far away. The man who was assembling the glass fragments standing on the ladder could not help smelling the fragrance and turned his head, stretched his neck and shouted towards the kitchen:

"Aunt Gui, what delicious food did you make today? It smells so good."

"Steamed buns. Today we have steamed buns with meat. It's enough. Work hard and you can eat them at noon."

"Great! I can satisfy my cravings again. These past two days have been like Chinese New Year."

The person next to him also echoed, "Who said it wasn't?"

Xia Ran spent the whole morning in the kitchen. After wrapping the stuffing, there was still some dough left. Xia Ran asked Gui Niang and the others to chop some more eggplant and peppers, and tried their best to wrap another basket.

"Can eggplant and pepper be eaten? I haven't tried them yet?" the second son's wife asked first.
