In the morning of the next day, Cai Qiang brought the materials up the mountain. Qin Heyi was like outsourcing the entire project. Even the materials were prepared by Cai Qiang and the others. Qin Heyi’s wages included the cost of materials and Labor costs.

The current labor cost is more than 200 per person per day, and according to the rules of Baoyue Town, a meal at noon is also included. 22 workers were hired at once, and the cost is really not small.

Cai Qiang took the cigarette from Qin Heyi, pointed at the people who had already started to clean up the weeds and trees on the hillside and said with a smile: "It's almost Chinese New Year, and everyone has nothing to do, so I'll draw everyone to your side Come here, try to get it done as soon as possible, and save you some money."

"Now that the weather is so cold, I will trouble everyone."

"When you move, you'll feel warm. It's fine. The main thing is that you have to prepare the lunch for everyone. Only after eating a good meal will you have the strength to work."

Cai Qiang also heard the rumor that Li Tang's food was not edible, so he added this sentence when talking to Qin Heyi, hoping that Qin Heyi would stop cooking it himself, and just buy some ready-made ones from outside.Cai Qiang glanced at Qin Heyi, wondering if the other party understood what he meant.

"Okay, it's enough to keep everyone satisfied." Ever since he got the Tianxin wooden bracelet, Qin Heyi's meals can be eaten by ordinary people, but the spiritual energy is scarce, and the difference from ordinary meals is not too big.

"Take me up the mountain to have a look. Just measure the place where the house is going to be built on the mountain. I'll go back and draw the blueprint."

Qin Heyi was watching the workers at work, nodded when he heard what Cai Qiang said, and pointed to a stone road covered by weeds next to him, letting him go up the mountain from here.The back mountain was originally owned by the Qin family, and there were artificially planted trees in the beginning, but they were neglected and abandoned after being collectively owned. The neatly trimmed and beautiful flowers and trees became messy, and many weeds and trees grew Many snakes, rats and ants, the dead branches and leaves that have been deposited for many years rot on the top of the hill, which nourishes the soil but also makes the land wet and slippery.

Before the workers started work, Qin Heyi had told them that as long as they got rid of the weeds and weeds and trees, all the neat ones should be left behind. The old trees that had grown for some years were better than the newly planted ones.

"It's good to walk from this side. There are bluestone slabs, but it's slippery. Be careful when you walk. By the way, Master Cai told the workers to pay attention. There may be snakes in the grass. It's not good to hurt people. gone."

"Don't worry about that. You know how to work all year round. It's better to worry about those snakes. If you catch them, it's a Chinese meal. Authentic game, delicious."

"There are still rabbits on the mountain. If I catch them, I will add food to everyone."

"Rabbit? Is that the same big guy you caught just now?"

Before the official start of work, Qin Heyi carried back the big rabbit he and Tong Xiu had met, and the one that burrowed in the mountain, back into the house. After a few months, the cubs were still in their arms, so it was obvious that they were not What ordinary species, according to the law of rabbit reproduction, I am afraid that the back mountain will become a rabbit nest.

"No, that domesticated one was brought home for fear of disturbing everyone's work." Afraid of being caught and eaten by you, Qin Heyi added silently in his heart. "If you catch anything else, I'll process it into braised rabbit meat for everyone to eat."

Cai Qiang's face looked a little pity, such a big rabbit has a lot of meat. "Okay, I'm happier eating something than anything else."

The back mountain belongs to Qin Heyi, so every plant and tree on the back mountain belongs to him. The workers know the rules and will not take it away randomly. After Qin Heyi and Cai Qiang walked around the mountain and came down the mountain, There are already several piles at the foot of the mountain. The plucked grass and cut trees with crooked necks can all be dried in the sun and used as firewood. The caught snakes smashed their heads and piled them aside. On the side, pheasants, wild ducks, and mountain rats were also caught. It can be seen that the products in the back mountain are rich, and so much game was caught in just a few hours.

Qin Heyi originally wanted to give the construction team all the things found at the gate on the mountain, but according to the rules of Baoyue Town, this is not acceptable. Every plant and tree belongs to the owner's house, and the construction team cannot take it. Qin Heyi If you can break the rules, then make it as much as possible for everyone to eat, and save him the money to buy meat.

"This mountain mouse is quite big." The mountain mouse is very big, and an adult mountain mouse can grow to more than three catties. Houshan doesn't know whether it is because of its rich nutrition or other reasons. The captured mountain mouse is even bigger. Big, Qin Heyi weighed it in his hand, the good guy weighs at least four or five catties, it's really enough to eat.

"As expected of a treasure land of geomantic omen, the things grown are good, and the fruits they bear are big and sweet. When you come back, go up the mountain to see if there are only a few sour green fruits on the trees that can bear fruit."

"Yeah." That's true. I went up to the mountain to see it before, and there were green fruits hanging on the branches, the kind that couldn't be eaten. Qin Heyi thought that the mountain was neglected, and the fruit trees had degenerated and turned fruitless. It's rare and not tasty, but he didn't think about the possibility of the fruit growing but being picked off.

"Hehe, I can't blame everyone, I just stared at the back mountain of your house to pick it. It is really different from other places. The fruit grown is not much different from the specially cultivated fruit."

"It's okay. I'll pick the fruit and put it in the store when it bears fruit. Everyone can come and get it anytime they want to eat."

Cai Qiang smiled and said that's what he said, who really wants to get it, it's shameless.

Qin and Yi could only carry a limited number of things with both hands, and they couldn't bring back all the things, so they asked them to help them carry them back to the house. On the way back, they saw Uncle Zhu standing at the door of the backyard. He was standing at his door Looking towards the back mountain of the Qin family, he smiled embarrassedly when he saw Qin Heyi.There was an unpleasant quarrel last time, and then Qin Heyi took Tong Xiu on a long trip, and the two of them haven't had a serious conversation yet.

Qin and Yi greeted each other from afar, "Hi Uncle Zhu, I have some wild game from the mountains here, you can take some back and add a taste to your home."

Zhu Bo waved his hands again and again, "How embarrassing, you don't have to."

"It's nothing, I found it in the mountains, I can't eat too much." Qin Heyi ignored Zhu Bo's refusal, unloaded two of all the wild animals, and piled up the rest at his back door. Take everything home for a while, and let the two master workers go back to work first, so as not to delay their projects. Stealing and cheating will make the foreman hate it, even if it is requested by the employer.

Zhu Bo didn't know where to put his old face, he was a little embarrassed when facing Qin Heyi, and didn't know how to speak.A few months after Qin Heyi came back, the town really talked about everything. He was also angry at the beginning, and he was also one of the people who scolded Qin Heyi for not being honest. The scourge of the village, the food they make is so unpalatable, isn't it a waste of words, and it makes old friends feel uneasy under Jiuquan.

But then gradually there were some miraculous voices in the town, saying that the food made by Qin Heyi was unpalatable not because of his poor craftsmanship or the addition of additives, but because ordinary people couldn’t eat it because there was no good fortune to bear it. luck.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. After eating the things made by Qin Heyi, the Qian family became stronger. The most intuitive thing is that Uncle Qian’s migraine disappeared, and the pimples on Qian Liang’s face disappeared. No matter how strict the enlightenment is, one or two things will still be revealed. After all, the external effect is too obvious, and the rumors heard by Uncle Zhu came out in this way.

Others would take it as gossip after dinner, and forget about it, and would not pay attention to it, but Uncle Zhu took it to heart. He lives next to the Qin family, and he knew exactly what was going on there, even guessed it. Presumably, standing on the roof of his own house, he accidentally saw something like a rope moving inside the Qin family's house.The old man was so dim-sighted that he was afraid that he might be wrong, so he asked his eldest son, who happened to be back to his hometown that day, to watch it together. His son's face turned livid on the spot, and he said that it was a vine, which looked like a climbing vine that the Qin family had grown overnight. Rose.

With this incident, the Qin family was cast a strange shadow. Uncle Zhu's eldest son, Zhu Wen, had a deep grudge against Qin Heyi. He thought that Qin Heyi was doing something crooked, and almost wanted to call the police. It is appropriate to arrest the heretics.Uncle Zhu stopped his son. He had a different idea from his elder son. He thought that Qin Heyi had an adventure, and it would be best to make up for his relationship with Qin Heyi, so as to save some love for his children and grandchildren. Maybe it would be useful.

"Xiao Qin, what have you been doing in the past two months? I don't even know when you went out and when you came back."

Qin Heyi had complicated emotions in his eyes. Uncle Zhu's attitude towards him was no longer as clear as it was at the beginning, and there was a lot more deliberate flattery and fawning, which was strange.In the past, Zhu Wen was the only one in the Zhu family who picked on him. Zhu Wen had admiration for his father and respected him. He always blamed Qin Heyi for making his father mad. , Sarcasm from time to time.But others treat Qin Heyi well, especially Zhu Qian, who grew up with Qin Heyi. Now seeing that the Zhu family has an opinion of herself, she has lost her sense of normalcy.

Forget it, let's be an ordinary neighbor. In the "dream", he will remember Zhu Bo's kindness to him, keep it in his heart, and repay him when he has the opportunity.

"I went to City H. The seafood there is really good. Uncle Zhu must try it if he has the chance. It's fresh and delicious."

"I've been there before, and I went to the seafood market over there to have a look. Good guy, it's big. After eating the seafood there, come back to eat ours. The taste is different. Fresh things are better. eat……"

Uncle Zhu wanted to continue talking, but Qin Heyi saw that it was getting late, so he hurriedly said, "It's getting late, and I still have to cook for the workers, so let's not talk about it, let's go in first." .”

"Oh, let's go, it's a big deal, don't delay it." Zhu Bo was interrupted when he was talking about his excitement, and his interest faded, but he also knew that his child had to do something serious, so he couldn't delay it.

"Then Uncle Zhu, I'll go first."

"let's go."

Qin Heyi showed his skills and carried all the wild game back two or three times, because the small kitchens of Litang and Xilanju couldn't be used to make meals for more than [-] people, so Qin Heyi simply moved the kitchen. When I arrived at the yard where I made tofu yesterday, I called Lin Xiuxi to come up and make it with Tong Xiu and the three.

Big pot dishes are easy to prepare, and the most important thing is seasoning. After the seasoning is done, the big pot dishes are full of heat, and they taste better than the finely crafted small pots.In the morning, Qin Heyi took Tong Xiu to the vegetable market to buy a bunch of vegetables, meat and eggs and came back. Today, he has game from the mountains again, and the next meal will be rich.

There are no poisonous snakes around Daqing Mountain, so all the snakes caught are green non-venomous snakes called cauliflower snakes. The thickest ones are as thick as an adult male's arm, and the smallest ones are as thick as four fingers combined. After peeling the skin, remove the internal organs. After cutting the sections, beat them with salt to kill bacteria, marinate them for a while and fry them into snake sections. After they are out of the pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper to become salt and pepper snake sections.

After the mountain mouse is cut into pieces, stir-fry with chili and braised in soy sauce, the rabbit is made into braised rabbit meat, the pheasant is braised with mushrooms, and four large portions of meat dishes are prepared, then two vegetarian dishes are made, and cabbage is boiled with taro, and more Ershui even has soup, fried vegetables with shiitake mushrooms, and enough rice.

With the help of Tong Xiu and Lin Xiuxi, Qin Heyi cooked very quickly, and let the workers eat at twelve o'clock. The meals eaten outside the back door of their house were packed in large stainless steel basins and carried out. Yes, the rice was packed in wooden barrels, and one barrel was not enough for Qin Heyi to cook a barrel, which would definitely fill everyone's stomachs.

Qin Heyi made two small portions of all the dishes, one of which was for Lin Xiuxi to take back to eat, it was regarded as the helper's reward this time, and the other was for him and Tong Xiu to eat together.

"Old Qin, wait a moment, let's eat a chicken pad first." Tong Xiu picked up a piece of the best thigh meat from a pheasant and fed it to Qin Heyi. He was holding a mountain mouse thigh meat in his other hand, "It's the first time I've eaten mountain rats. It's delicious. The meat is more chewy than rabbits and pheasants. It's delicious."

"If you like it, find me next time and make other flavors for you. I remember baking and eating it when I was a child."

"It's not that I like it, it's that I'm eating novelty. Go out quickly, they will be embarrassed to eat if you, the master, are not present."

Qin Heyi nodded, and lifted the large wooden bucket in his arms up, "If you're hungry, eat first, don't wait for me."

Tong Xiu would not do this, "No, eating alone is not delicious, so you should go and come back quickly."

Qin Heyi went to the shop in the town to borrow stainless steel basins from a shop specializing in red and white wedding banquets. They were all large and covered. Before that, Tong Xiu and Tong Xiu brought all the food over, and they would not be cold if they were full for a while. Lose.When he came back to serve the rice, he called Cai Qiang and asked them to come down for dinner.There is a water pipe behind the door, where you can wash your hands, and you can drink hot water to warm your stomach first.

When Qin Heyi arrived, all the workers had come down and were washing their hands with the water pipe. Qin Heyi put down the barrel and greeted everyone to eat. He opened a stainless steel basin, which contained stainless steel bowls and chopsticks that had been scalded during the meeting. It was clean, hygienic and It is also warm in the hand.Cai Qiang took the initiative to take over the task of distributing the bowls and chopsticks, and Qin Heyi opened the large stainless steel pots for everyone to prepare vegetables and meals.

As soon as the lid was opened, a burst of fragrance wafted out in the cold air, making the hungry people who had worked for a whole morning suddenly secrete saliva in their mouths and feel even hungrier.

Cai Qiang couldn't help swallowing, and asked Qin Heyi, "Which restaurant does Boss Qin make? It's so delicious."

"I made it myself." Qin Heyi gave the worker at the front a spoonful of rabbit meat, the spoon moved, and another spoonful of mountain rat meat...Qin Heyi measured the weight carefully. After counting the number of people, the weight for each person is about the same. Finally, put rice on top of the meat dishes, and put vegetarian dishes and salt and pepper snake slices on the rice. The crispy snake segments become soft when dipped in the soup, losing their charred exterior and tender interior.

"What, you made it?" Cai Qiang thought he heard it wrong, saying that Qin Heyi's food could only be smelled but not eaten. Looking at the big pots of good food, Cai Qiang felt like crying , can only be smelled but not eaten, is this to make people rebel?I couldn't help but took a piece of salt and pepper snake segment into my mouth. The crispy outer shell and tender meat inside made Cai Qiang's eyes light up. When he came back to his senses, he stretched out his hands to the big basin of food again.He hurriedly coughed to cover up, "Hehe, everyone, eat quickly, and work well after eating." Turning his head to look at Qin Heyi, he couldn't help sighing, "It's really not easy for Boss Qin to kill people because of rumors."

Qin Heyi smiled and didn't say anything, and Cai Qiang couldn't explain the joint clearly.

After dividing the meals, Qin Heyi packed up the empty vegetable bowls first, and said to Cai Qiang: "Master Cai, you should eat first, and you don't need to clean up after eating, just put it in the bowl, I'll wait a little longer Come and get it." In case everyone has no place to spit their bones on the ground, Qin Heyi has prepared a trash can here, and he doesn't care how much rubbish will end up in the trash can, at most he will turn over the soil in the future .

"Okay." Cai Qiang ate so much that he couldn't lift his head. It was so delicious that he wanted to bury his head in it and eat it to his heart's content. He felt that a mouth was not enough at all. In front of the delicious food, he wished that his whole body would be full of mouths.

If Qin Heyi knew what was going on in Cai Qiang's mind, he would probably get drunk, the scene covered in mouths... I couldn't bear to look straight at it.He went back with an empty vegetable bowl, and Tong Xiu was waiting in the room. The heating was turned on in the room, and the plates were turned upside down on the food, so the food did not lose the most beautiful temperature.

Seeing that Qin Heyi came back, Tong Xiu put down his phone, lifted the upside-down plates on the bowls and plates, lifted the lid of the wooden bucket, took a spoon to serve the rice, turned his head and asked Qin Heyi, "Do the workers like it?" ?”

"Of course." Qin Heyi was quite confident.

"Yes, it's impossible not to like it."

The cleaning of the back mountain went smoothly. It took three days to clean up all the weeds and trees, and the firewood room in the Qin residence was also full. In the future, the old stove would not need to look for firewood everywhere.They also ate all kinds of wild game. Many Qin Heyi packed up and made dried food. They really couldn't eat it all at once. They also put some of them in the jade box. If you want to eat fresh ones, you can also have them.

After cleaning up, a large area of ​​soil was exposed. Qin Heyi planned to plant lawns in the spring of the coming year, and add fruit trees such as pomegranate trees in some empty places. They can bear fruit and bloom, and the meaning is good.

After the back mountain was cleaned up, a wall was built to enclose the entire Yudaigou. Qin Heyi didn't let them clean up the Yudaigou, but kept it as it was, which was considered a place for the wild ducks who made their homes in it.One side of the mountain is next to Moon Lake, so there is no need to build a fence, which reduces the amount of work for everyone. During construction, the workers discovered the foundation of the original fence. The foundation was deep and firm, and the materials were all high-quality blue bricks. , and there is no need to re-lay the foundation, just build on the original foundation and build it up.

It is estimated that the food in the Qin residence was so delicious that Cai Qiang couldn't bear to enjoy it alone, so he added seven more people to the engineering team, speeding up the progress of the project. The centimeter-thick blue brick wall is completed. The wall with the same style as the old house is not just as simple as using blue bricks, but also has patterns, flower windows, tile eaves, etc. similar to the old house. It is not a simple repetitive project. , to be able to complete it within a week, in addition to the large investment in the number of people, there is also Cai Qiang's team with high efficiency, saving Qin Heyi a lot of money by saving one day.

The weather is beautiful, and the wall dries up quickly under the dual effects of the north wind and the sun. Today is the last day of finishing work. When the engineering team withdraws today, Jiaohua will expand the site and grow tightly on the wall of the old house. The branches next to each other will quickly spread out to form a large net to protect Qin Zhai's territory.

Qin Heyi is holding a wooden barrel, this is the second barrel today, the rice he cooks is really delicious, the food goes down fast, and the rice is also not slow, he eats two and a half to three barrels every day Everyone has a heavy workload, and they are all big-bellied men, so they can eat it very well.Qin Heyi didn't complain, because the workers and masters were highly efficient, and it was a matter of mutual benefit to keep them fed with good food and food.

Today is the last day, Qin Heyi sent the wooden barrel over and walked back, ready to have lunch with Tong Xiu, but when he arrived at the restaurant, he found that Lin Xiuxi, who should have left long ago, was still waiting here. After eating his own food, he will leave, and Qin Heyi will never see him again when he comes back.

Seeing Qin Heyi's return, Lin Xiuxi immediately greeted him, "My lord, you are finally back."

"What's the matter, is there not enough food?" Lin Xiuxiu is also a man with a big belly. Although he is thin and tall, he is quite edible. At first, he was embarrassed and ordered a bowl, but after getting familiar with it, he let go of his stomach and piled it up. He would leave contentedly only after he had a baby, and that's why Qin Heyi asked this question.

Lin Xiuxi rubbed her nose in embarrassment, "That's enough, I've been able to eat well every day since I worked here with the adults, I got enough aura, and my cultivation has improved. I will not reincarnate to the extent of condensing into a solid body. As long as the adults don't dislike it, I can always work for the adults."

It is also a good thing to have a regular hired skilled worker, Qin Heyi nodded, "What about today?"

"I almost forgot something important. My lord, this is a letter for you. I just went back, and a lord asked me to send you a letter. I think it's very important, so I'll come right away."

A letter from the underworld?Why does it feel so strange!

Qin Heyi took the letter, Lin Xiuxi bowed after completing the task and disappeared in place.

"Letter, it's so strange. It looks like the material is similar to Yangjian's. Who gave it to you?" Tong Xiu looked at the letter in Qin Heyi's hand and studied it. After waiting for a long time, Qin Heyi didn't respond. He looked up. Glancing at him, Qin Heyi was shocked to see tears all over his face, "What's wrong with Lao Qin?"

When Qin Heyi was unhappy, he just had a sullen face. Usually, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, showing a shallow smile.Ever since Tong Xiu knew Qin Heyi, he had never seen Qin Heyi so emotionally exposed.

Qin Heyi calmed down and said, "My father's handwriting."
