C19 Busy Day (1/2)

Lei Tia threw the money purse to Qin Mian, opened the door and carried the huge water jar into the house.

Qin Mian laughed and took the money pouch into the room. He placed it inside the wooden chest and locked it with a new lock.

”Wife, I'll go get some water.”

Since this form of address wasn't effective, Qin Mian didn't waste time talking to him and nodded immediately, ”Alright.”

After Lei Tia brought out two buckets of water and left, Qin Mian took out the bowls and bowls from the rice noodles, boiled some water and cleaned the new water jar a few times, and then used boiling water to wash the dishes and tea set. Without a cupboard, he brought the low table from the room and set the dishes on it. The rice noodles were in their room for the time being, and they could be taken care of at night so that the rats wouldn't eat them.

After that, Qin Mian used the flour to make some paste and picked up the white paper from the ground and stuck it to the window.

After Lei Tia filled the water jar full, he walked over silently to help them.

”I can busy myself,” Qin Mian said as he looked at the sky, ”It's getting late, you go and greet Brother Zhang first, so that he doesn't have to cook Brother Zhang's food.”

”It's not that I don't want to invite Sister Zhang and their child, it's just that Brother Zhang and Sister Zhang might not be willing to let their children know that we two men are living together. If they were to rashly invite them, it might be awkward for them. We'll see when the two families get closer to each other. ”

”I understand.” Lei Tia pressed on his shoulder.

Qin Mian relaxed and continued to arrange work for him, ”Take up the vegetable basket and go to the garden to pick some vegetables, eggplants, bitter melon and so on. You have to pick more chilli peppers, and pick the other vegetables yourself. Don't forget to cut some green onions if you have them. Eggs... Forget it, everyone in the village would definitely keep their eggs for farming. Even if they spent money to buy them, they wouldn't be able to do so. Oh, forgot to buy wine! ” He slapped his forehead in frustration.

”There's a wine workshop in the village, don't worry.” Lei Tia nodded.

After Qin Mian saw that he had walked far away, he quickly scooped a bowl of Spirit Spring Water from the spatial space and added it to the water tank.

After he had covered the windows with paper, he nailed two nails to each of the two windows in the room. He tied a thin rope between them and hung two pieces of cloth over them. It couldn't be considered beautiful, as long as it was practical.

”Wife, I'm back.”

Qin Mian was busy poking at the rice, and almost splashed the rice on his feet. When he came back, he came back. Was there a need to intentionally say it out loud? Was there a need to add a ”daughter-in-law”? ”Is there a need to be so loud?

Lei Tia placed the wine jar on the table, and then placed the vegetable basket next to Qin Mian, ”The Elder Jiang next door gave me ten eggs.”

Qin Mian sighed: ”Elder Jiang is warm-hearted.” He would remember everything that was good to them and would repay them in the future.

He shook the water in his hands, fiddled with the vegetable basket and laughed as he looked at Lei Tia. This was something that someone who wasn't in charge would do. In addition to the eggs, there were a few purple eggplants, a few bitter melons, a handful of scallions, some green peppers, three large potatoes, a bunch of green chrysanthemums and a handful of leeks. The variety was not small, but the leeks were only enough to fry in a small plate. The chrysanthemums looked large, but they would definitely be eaten in two or three bites after being cooked. There were quite a few men eating together at night, so there was definitely not enough to eat. Fortunately, there were leek and chrysanthemum in his space, so he could add a few when Lei Tia wasn't paying attention.

Lei Tia looked at the vegetable basket, ”What's wrong?”

”Nothing.” Qin Mian laughed.

Lei Tia felt that he did not speak the truth, but he did not pursue the matter further, ”There are not enough chairs, I will go to the back of the mountain and cut a few wooden stakes.”

”Go, I don't need your help here.”

Qin Mian cooked the rice first and washed off the pig liver. After cutting it into pieces, he soaked it in water and kept it for later. Although the pig liver contains many nutrients and is fresh and delicious, it must be detoxified before it can be consumed, because it is the largest detoxification site in pigs. After cleaning, it is best to slice and soak for one to two hours to remove residual blood. However, he was in a hurry to use it today, so he could only immerse it in the sauce before stir-frying it at the end. It would only take a while for him to stir-fry it.

Because he didn't have any tender meat or starch, Qin Mian marinated the egg white and the thin slice of meat together for a while with the egg white. Today, they were here to enjoy themselves and to treat guests. They couldn't afford to be so extravagant until their financial conditions improved. An egg was a penny, he had asked in the town. Not cheap.

Then, Qin Mian cleaned the bones and fat meat, similarly preparing the ingredients.

Lei Tia carried a few wooden blocks home, and when Qin Mian guided him in choosing vegetables, he began to cook himself.

When there were only two dishes left, Qin Mian asked Lei Tia to invite people.

When Brother Zhang, Lei Xiangyi, Lei Xiangzhi and Lei Chuntao arrived together with Lei Tia, it was already past six in the evening. The setting sun had dyed the sky in the west orange.

Smelling the tempting smell, the few of them could not help but want to speed up their pace, but they suddenly realized that they had lost their composure and quickly restrained themselves. They followed Lei Tia and walked forward at a leisurely pace.

As a result, they did not realize that Lei Tia's footsteps were faster than usual.

”Big Brother, we smelled the fragrance from far away. ”It seems like not only can sister-in-law cook, her cooking skills are also very good.” Lei Xianglee said with a smile.

Zhang Dashuan also nodded, and laughed heartily, ”Looks like we're going to have some fun today.”
