butcher's cook

??Bai Ning thought that the goji berries were not ripe, but when he got to the place where the goji berries were grown, they were already ripe.

??The old doctor picked one and put it in his mouth. It tasted sweet, like honey water.

??The doctor's eyes lit up immediately, "This goji berry is good." The efficacy of the medicine cannot be judged. It depends on the finished product. So sweet is really rare.

?? He also saw the honeysuckle next to it, with luxuriant branches, and the blossoming honeysuckle swayed on it, exuding a rich fragrance.

?? "Brother Bai, you can pick your honeysuckle. The flowers are all in bloom, but the effect is compromised."

?? Bai Ning is like a bird in a cage, looking around, his eyes busy.

?? "I've been busy these two days, so I didn't take care of it. I'll have someone pick it up and dry it later."

??The full moon passed yesterday. Once the full moon passed, there was basically nothing to do at home. I just collected the wolfberry and honeysuckle.

??I heard that honeysuckle and Chinese wolfberry were going to be harvested. Grandpa Xu developed the value by himself. He wanted to weave some bamboo plaques for Bai Ning, and he went to cut the bamboo and came back that afternoon.

??The elderly feel less sleepy. When Bai Ning and the others got up, Grandpa Xu had already made the first bamboo plaque.This bamboo plaque is different from the ones Bai Ning has seen before.It is rectangular, about two meters long and one meter wide. The bamboo strips inside are fine and dense, and can be used to dry honeysuckle and goji berries.

?? "Grandpa, your speed is really fast." Last night, I only made a bottom line, and today the first bamboo plaque has been weaved.

?? "I'm old, I'm not moving well." Grandpa Xu waved his hand and said modestly.

?? "When did you start, it's all compiled."

?? "I'm getting older, and I feel less." Grandpa Xu got up and stretched his waist. As expected, he was getting old, and he felt a little sour.

"Brother Ning, show me, how about this bamboo plaque? Can it be used?"

?? "Yes, very good and convenient."

"That's good. I can still weave another piece of bamboo. I can do it in the morning. In the afternoon, I will cut two bamboos and come back and continue weaving."

"Grandpa, don't have to work so hard. I have a bamboo plaque. Just take your time." The last time the honeysuckle was drying, Bai Ning asked someone to make the bamboo plaque. It was the first time he had no experience, so he was too busy .

?? "I know, let's go to eat. I saw Li Meizi getting up to cook before."

??Bai Ning hugged Xiao Tuantuan, and he didn't look energetic. This little guy could eat and drink, and he had to eat it twice a night.He didn't even taste what was squeezed out before.Plus changing diapers or something, it's a toss.Not only tormenting Bai Ning and his husband and wife, but also tormenting Li Po, Li Po thought that the young couple who are in charge of the house have no experience in raising baby babies, so now they just moved to sleep next to Bai Ning and the others.When they move on this side, Granny Li can hear them on the other side.

??The three of them jumped on Xiao Tuantuan's side, and the three on the other side almost felt that they were unwanted.Especially Xiao Bao, who looked at Bai Ning with sad eyes every time, making him look like a heartless person.

?? "Li Granny, I will buy two more people back later. How can you bear it if you help us lead the group at night and cook so many people's meals during the day? You can't bear it even if you beat me hard." Don't say that Granny Li is so At an advanced age, even Bai Ning, a supernatural being, was almost made neurasthenic by the little thing.

?? "Alright, I'm so busy here that I don't have time to do needlework."

??Bai Ning plans to buy two people, one for cooking and one for sewing, and Granny Li will help him take care of Xiao Tuantuan.After all, Granny Li is very relaxed to get along with and has experience in raising children. Most importantly, he can be trusted.

??I entrusted the picking of wolfberry and honeysuckle to Mrs. Qin, and Xiao Tuantuan to Mrs. Li. He and Tan Ming went to the county.

?? There are many people on the mountain, and there are many people to eat, even if it is only a meal at noon.Their rice grains are also consumed quickly, and they have to collect them every ten days.

??Bai Ning meant that Tan Ming went to the grain store. He himself said that it was a dental store. Tan Ming was not at ease. "I will go to the dental store with you. I will go buy rice later."

?? The sun in the sky is hot, even when they came out, the sun just came up, "Why do you feel that the weather this year is hotter than last year?"

??Bai Ning wiped away his sweat, and soon his head was covered with sweat.

?? "It's like this, it's hot early this year, and it's cool early."

?? Just passed the pier, Miss Xu saw them, "Brother Ning, why did you come out today?"

?? "I went to the dental shop to find two people, and Li Po was the only one at home, and Xiaosi couldn't afford to be a big deal, and she couldn't do it alone."

?? "You are looking for someone!" Xu Niangzi waved to him, "Come here."

??Bai Ning got off the bullock cart and went over, "What's wrong?"

?? "Do you still remember Brother He?"

?? Brother He has worked here for a month, and Bai Ning still has an impression, "Didn't he go to join his husband's colleagues?"

?? "This is true, but those who are not familiar with the place over there bought an acre of land there last year, and the collected land was not enough to eat. Boss Xu's leg injury is not healed, and all of them have fallen. When it comes to Brother He, I saw him washing clothes for people by the river some time ago, if you need someone over there, do you think it will be possible to let him work there for a few months?"

??Bai Ning thought for a while and asked Tan Ming, "How is the land reclamation on the mountain going?"

?? "Two-thirds of it has been opened, and the rest is at the top of Wuji Mountain."

?? "I can do it, I will do the work on the stove for him, which is the food for nearly [-] people, whether he can do it or not."

?? Lady Xu also knew that Bai Ning had invited people to come to Huang, but the exact number of people was not clear. She did not expect that there were eighty people.

??The land reclamation on the mountain is not like digging the soil. The trees on the mountain are intertwined. It is not so easy to remove the root system and leave the old trees.There were more than 100 at the most, but now there are more than 80 left.

?? "I'll ask him, he's by the river, you should go to work first! I'll tell you when I come back."

??Because they had something to do, they didn't go to the dental shop first, but went to the rice store, bought enough rice for ten days, bought some seasonings, and then went to the restaurant to get vegetables.The expenses on the mountain are all bought by the restaurant, but there are bills counted every day.At present, not to mention other expenses, the food and wages of those people in the mountain cost more than two and a half taels of silver every day.

??Although it cost a lot, with the 1000 taels of silver as the carrot in front of the donkey, Tan Ming still has a little confidence in opening up wasteland.

??They bought rice and went back. Miss Xu and Brother He were already waiting there. This was the first time Bai Ning saw Brother He after getting married. He felt a little thinner, but he seemed in good spirits.

"Brother Ning." Seeing Bai Ning, Brother He was still a little embarrassed, but he heard from Miss Xu that Bai Ning needs people here, but the work is a little heavier, but he doesn't need to touch the water every day.

?? "Brother He, my second aunt should have told you my request. I don't know what you think."

"No, no, Brother Ning, you misunderstood. I want to recommend my husband. He used to be a cook in the army. He should be able to cook meals for dozens of people." Brother He hurriedly said, His idea is simple, the work in the field requires long-term practical legs, but not for cooking, and he can sit when he is tired, so as not to cause too much burden on his husband's legs.

?? "That's fine, when will you go there?"

?? "I'll go back and tell my husband, maybe he won't be here until tomorrow."

??The cook has found someone, and Bai Ning also needs a needleworker, because he is also responsible for the clothes inside, and it is best to be elderly.Originally, Bai Ning wanted to ask Brother He if he would do it, but suddenly he remembered that he was just a young man under 20 years old, if he was asked to do it, if people knew about it, he would definitely gossip again.

??Bai Ning went to a dentist, looking for someone who could do needlework. To be honest, it was not very easy to find.You must know that Fuyun County is only a small county, and those who can be reduced to this place are not wanted elsewhere, and the rest are picked.Those with a bit of craftsmanship are picked away by others, and the rest are always a little bit wrong.For example, in the shopkeeper Li's family, it turned out that Granny Li was sick and needed medicine, and there was a baby.There is also Xiao Si, who pretended to be dumb and disfigured back then, and no one wants to have it.

??Bai Ning wants someone who can do needlework, and the craftsmanship should not be too bad. Currently, there are not many dental shops that meet his requirements.

??In the end, Bai Ning chose an older brother.

?? He said he was an old man, but in fact he was only in his 30s, not even [-].I heard that it was once a servant who was not favored by a wealthy family. The master went to the house, and the concubines and servants were sold to the mistress of the family. This person is not good looking, so he was sold here.

?? When Bai Ning saw him, he didn't find any negative emotions, but he was a little gray, like he didn't care about everything, a little bit like Xiao Si's original taste.

??Take people back, and buy cloth and needlework.

?? It is said that the ones I bought are good at sewing. If there is no sewing cloth, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice!

Even though they came early, it was already late when they returned. Granny Li was walking around at the second gate with Xiao Tuantuan in her arms. When she saw Bai Ning and the others coming back, it was like seeing a savior, "Boss, you are finally back Come on, hurry up, this young master recognizes someone, and he didn't cry or fuss for half an hour, and he was still playing vigorously, and after half an hour, he started crying, and he couldn't be coaxed!"

??Bai Ning took Xiao Tuantuan, the little doll was probably tired from crying, she was not crying anymore, her whole face was glowing red, two lines of tears hung on the corners of her eyes by the river, some were dry, her little body shook from time to time, It seems that I have been crying for a long time.The little thing sensed the familiar aura, and stared at Bai Ning closely with a pair of eyes. Tired of watching, he opened his small mouth and yawned big.

??

?? "No, the young master won't eat the boiled milk. I'll go to reheat it now."

?? After a while, Granny Li came over with half a bowl of goat milk, "Boss, you hold it, and I'll feed it."

?? This time, Xiao Tuantuan was finally willing to eat. He ate most of the bowl of milk that Granny Li brought, and then drowned in Dad's arms.Bai Ning originally wanted to put him on the bed, but this thing recognizes people, as soon as Bai Ning moved, Xiao Tuantuan started dancing and was about to wake up.

"Why don't I come and give you a hug." Tan Ming couldn't help much, and cried for a long time because he felt sorry for the child.

?? "No, go and help Granny Li cook. I'm late today. I have been working on the mountain all morning. I may not be able to wait so long."

?? Xiao Tuantuan sleeps for an hour and a half. The first thing the little guy wakes up is his little daddy. When he sees a familiar figure, the little guy gives him a toothless smile.

?? Bai Ning kissed him on the face, "Wake up, come pee."

??Bai Ning's action is quite timely. After a month of confinement, he has been promoted to a very qualified baby daddy. He knows when the baby will pee, how long it will smell, and how long it will be hungry up.

?? Just took the diaper away, and the light raindrops were dripping down.

?? "Okay, boo boo, are you hungry?"

??Little doll is like this. He has to eat once every two hours, and Tuantuan has slept for an hour and a half. Now he is milking goat milk and cooking it.

?? Granny Li has already calculated the time for Tuan Tuan to breastfeed and finished expressing the goat milk. When she saw Bai Ning going out with the little guy in her arms, she immediately went to cook it.

?? After drinking half a bowl of goat milk, the little boy started to play with Bai Ning, to be more precise, he wanted Bai Ning to hug him and play around.When Bai Ning was in confinement, either Mrs. Qin or Mrs. Li carried him out for a walk. Anyway, they would go out for a walk every afternoon.

??The Qin family was drying the honeysuckle, and picked them back in the morning. The sun was too poisonous. After halfway through, the Qin family sent the honeysuckle pickers back, and came back tomorrow morning.

?? "Brother Ning, why did you come out, such a big sun?"

?? "Hey, Xiao Tuantuan is going to come out, you have to give him a drink every day, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable."

"This kid is also weird, he can't stay at home. In the future, he will definitely be a mischievous one, just like his brother Dongzi." Qin put the last bit of honeysuckle in the sun and shook the basket, "Brother Ning, you know Was a spring dug out this morning?"

?? "What? Where did you find it?"

?? "At the chicken head, it's close to Anshan, and a spring was dug in the middle of the mountain. I heard that it's not small, it should be as big as a small bowl."

?? Hearing her talk about the location, Bai Ning imagined the forest over there, "You mean the side where the trees are particularly lush."

"No, there is such a spring in the ground! No wonder those trees grow so well. There is also a story, originally there were big trees over there, and they were not going to be cut down. Your Uncle Yao said to cut down the trees. As a result, a spring was dug out.”

??Bai Ning was very happy, "With the spring, the water can be drawn out, and there is no need to carry water all the way."

"Last time, Li Guaizi wanted 50 taels of silver before he was willing to say it. This time when the news spread that the spring was dug out, he couldn't help turning his eyes red." Qin was complacent, apparently still remembering the previous incident .

?? Li Guaizi is indeed as Qin said, a little regretful.But he was not very angry, because after Tan Ming started to open up wasteland, he knew that the matter of the spring could not be kept. Who would have thought that since Tan Ming spent such a large amount of money, the whole mountain would be opened up to open up wasteland, so he can only sigh a few words.I knew I should have asked for less money.

??Actually, Bai Ning doesn't think much about 50 taels of silver now. At that time, he didn't have a lot of silver, so he was a little bit reluctant about 50 taels of silver. Looking at it now, he would probably agree.

?? "Auntie, let's go in, it's still a bit hot outside without the sun."

?? Qin's is indeed a bit hot, and the honeysuckle is quite particular about drying in the sun. You need to ventilate, and you must pay attention to this and that.

??Bai Ning poured her a bowl of mung bean soup, "Relieve the heat with some."

?? Speaking of which, only the three of them are awake in this room.The rest went to take a nap, Bai Ning wanted to take Xiao Tuan Tuan, Qin Shi did not have this habit.

?? Qin took a sip of the mung bean soup, feeling a little cooler, and then let out a sigh of relief, "Brother Ning, it's better at your house, the mung bean soup is better than mine."

?? "Mr. Li's craftsmanship."

"Hey, Brother Ning, we went to see your pigs in the morning. I think it should be more than 250 catties. It's only a little over five months. If you feed them until the Chinese New Year, they won't grow to [-] catties. Go? Tell me, how did you feed it?"

??Bai Ning himself didn't know how the pig looked. He was confinement yesterday, so he went to see the honeysuckle and goji berries with him. He didn't even care about the watermelon?

?? "Well, I haven't had time to go over to see it, but how to feed it, that's how it is fed. I didn't sprinkle cabbage. When the cabbage grows, I cut it and boil it to feed the pigs."

?? "Impossible, how come the cabbage grows so fast when fed to pigs."

?? "It's definitely not just cabbage, but also rice water and rice soup. Think about how many people I cook every day. Rice water is used to cook cabbage and rice soup. Can pigs grow meat after eating it?"

?? "That's true, this is better than some people eat, and the growth of meat is normal. You see that the pigs in your pigsty are also good-looking, unlike the four in my family, who look like cross-eyed. Every day fight?"

?? "You are not castrated? I remember I told Tan Ming about it." Bai Ning remembered that he asked Tan Ming to tell him about it.

?? "Castration?" Qin remembered, and there was indeed such a thing.But, but this is castrated, can he still live, such a little pig...

"Brother Ning, don't tell me that all your pigs have been castrated?"

"Yes, they are all castrated."

?? "Then... it's all right!"

"What's the matter? Look at so many father-in-laws in the palace, who do you think is in danger?"

??Qin thinks about the same thing. If people are alive, so will pigs.At this time, she regretted that she could listen to Tan Ming.

"Oh, at the beginning, I thought that a pig would not be able to live if it was castrated. When Mingzi's uncle was castrated, I stopped him from letting him be castrated. Now I regret it to the death. I see that Xiao Linzi feeds pigs easily, The pigs don’t bark at all. The few pigs in my house are fighting for food, and it takes a long time to feed the pigs every time.” Qin really regrets it, every time she enters the pigsty to feed the pigs Trouble, cleaning is even more trouble.

"So, auntie, how many females do you have? Are there any males?"

?? "One female, three males." After Qin finished speaking, she asked curiously, "Why are you asking this?"

?? "To tell you the truth, I wanted to keep a few sows for breeding, but the knife was cut too fast that day, so I forgot."

?? "Do you want to feed a sow? I have one."

?? "It's okay, I'll exchange one with you. Turn around and ask Tan Ming to find out where there are sows for sale."

?? "You can ask your elder brother for this matter. He is collecting pigs now. If you encounter them, let him keep them for you. When the time comes, let Mingzi go directly to catch them."

?? Bai Ning thinks it's okay.

?? The two were talking, and soon it was time to go to work in the afternoon, and people came over one after another.

??Tan Ming squinted on the bed for a while, then got up at this time, and asked about the treatment of the spring.

??Bai Ning didn't know yet. After the initial excitement, he went to chat with Qin Shi. Before he had time to think about what to do?

?? "Why don't you build a reservoir, and use that water to water the fruit trees in the future."

??Tan Ming also meant the same thing, but Bai Ning still had to worry about how to fix it.The houses and shops are all designed by Bai Ning himself, so Tan Ming thinks that the little brother should be able to do it.
