Carpenter Li is worthy of being the best carpenter in Aoki Village, he used the tools he brought to tear down the broken windows in a few clicks, and then asked Xu Hao to go to his house to get new wood, and began to make new windows, Xu Hao himself understood that he couldn't help with this, so he went to do something else, that is, to renovate the stables.

If you want to live a good life now, you must let your blacksmith shop open, most of the tools Xu Hao has already bought back, and the forge will be delivered soon, what Xu Hao has to do now is to hurry up and find a suitable place to hang up the signboard of the blacksmith shop, and talk about the rest.

Xu Hao simply cleaned the stable, the stable is still very wide, and oh air circulation, there is a roof on it to block the rain, it is a very suitable place to be a blacksmith shop, after some cleaning, the stable has been transformed, it has become the only blacksmith shop in Aoki Village, Xu Hao put the axe chisel or something in the stable, Xu Hao built his own workbench with a few planks and a few green bricks, and now everything is ready to forge a furnace and firewood.

Firewood is easy to do, that is, the forging furnace is not less, unconsciously has been dry all morning, Li carpenter is still making windows, most of the windows have been done, the workmanship is very fine, obviously he is very attentive, and Liu Zhixuan is moving those things back to the house little by little, Xu Hao bought the things are the kind of medium, and did not buy the best, a big iron pot, two bowls, three plates, and a pair of chopsticks, the rest is to buy some daily basins or something, these are the necessities of life, can not be bought, and Xu Hao also pulled a long piece of cloth and some cotton needles and threads and other things, Winter is very cold, but Liu Zhixuan doesn't have a replacement of clothes, so Xu Hao is ready to let her make a dress for herself.

There are also felts on the clay kang, a stove for use at home, a large roll of window paper, two bags of rice, a bag of noodles, a bag of potatoes, a can of oil, some condiments, with these, life can be passed temporarily, this is still Xu Hao's cheap purchase, and the owner of the grocery store also gave Xu Hao a lot of discounts, otherwise I am afraid that the last two coins of silver will not be left.

After Xu Hao and Liu Zhixuan's efforts, these things were quickly moved in, so that the house suddenly showed a homely atmosphere, and after a while, Carpenter Li told Xu Hao that the windows had been all done, and they could be installed and used after the window paper was pasted.

Carpenter Li wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's already noon, let's go to my house for a meal and then continue to work, Brother Xu, you see that you just moved all those iron-making tools into the stable, but you plan to use the stable as a blacksmith shop for the time being?"

"Hmm. Xu Hao took a deep breath and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Li, I plan to do so, first use this stable as a place for me to strike iron, and wait for the forging furnace to be shipped over tomorrow to open, and at that time, I will also invite Brother Li's family to have a good meal at my house." ”

"Well, I've booked it, I'm going to eat the pig's head meat, and then two taels of burning knives, that taste, just think about it. Carpenter Li smiled and said: "Since you are going to come to your brother's house for dinner soon, then the eldest brother must invite your family to eat first, and leave now, your sister-in-law, it must have been done a long time ago." ”

Xu Hao and Liu Zhixuan glanced at each other, and Xu Hao said: "Then since this is the case, Xu Hao might as well be respectful, but after that, when the blacksmith shop opens, Brother Li and his family will have to eat together." ”

"That's natural, even if you don't call me then, I'll have to come, hahaha. The three of them walked to Carpenter Li's house while talking, and the lunch was the farmhouse dishes made by Carpenter Li's wife, and Carpenter Li's wife looked like that kind of good wife and mother, and the food was really delicious, Xu Hao felt that it was better than what his mother cooked, and after eating, Xu Hao told Carpenter Li about his plans, and Liu Zhixuan was learning from Carpenter Li's daughter-in-law how to take care of housework, how to do laundry and cooking, and how to be a good wife and mother like her.

Time passed quickly, everyone sat for a while, Xu Hao and the three of them returned to their homes and began to clean up the yard, the windows were all done, and they were almost stained with window paper.

This work is not difficult to do, and they are three people, so it didn't take long to finish it, Carpenter Li quickly put the window up, and then slapped the sawdust on his body a few times and said: "Brother, brother and sister, this window is also done, I will go back first, if there is anything else, just talk, I will be on call." ”

Xu Hao was very moved, this Brother Li never mentioned the matter of money from beginning to end, not to mention in vain, he also saw the embarrassment of Xu Hao and Liu Zhixuan at noon, and took the initiative to ask them to go to the house for dinner together, this kindness, Xu Hao remembered.

After another busy day, everything was finally done, but there were still a few collapsed courtyard walls in the yard, Xu Hao dragged his tired body up again to repair the collapsed courtyard walls with bricks, it was already late, Xu Hao was still in the yard and mud, and Liu Zhixuan was nervously busy in the kitchen.

For Liu Zhixuan, cooking is more difficult than mud, but today Sister Li told her that women are born to cook for the people in the family, the female protagonist is inside, and the male protagonist is outside, which is a truth since ancient times.

Liu Zhixuan secretly remembered these words in her heart, she was busy for a long time, and made her face black and white before lighting the fire on the stove, but there was only a bag of potatoes and some rice noodles at home, and there was not even a green thing at home.

She thought about it, first washed the potatoes, then put them in the pot and cooked them, and when the potatoes were cooked, she used a rolling pin to mash the potatoes into mashed potatoes, and then put some salt and noodles, and after a while, a large ball of unspeakable things appeared in front of Liu Zhixuan's eyes, she looked at the mass of things and felt that the color was a little monotonous, and then added some soy sauce and lard to it and then kneaded, sure enough, the color of the mashed potatoes became black and mushy, Liu Zhixuan thought about it, so many potatoes are only so little salt, there must be no taste, thinking about it, she added a handful of salt to itAfter a while, she looked at the black and slimy thing with satisfaction, and then divided it into fist-sized lumps, Liu Zhixuan was secretly proud, she was self-taught, isn't this the way to make steamed buns? And it's still black steamed buns, and there is still a woman in the entire Aoki Village who can make black steamed buns? Only herself, haha, she is really a natural good wife and mother.

Liu Zhixuan boiled a pot of hot water on the stove in the house again, although this thing doesn't seem to look very good, but this is also the first thing that her Miss Liu has made since she was a child, Liu Zhixuan put the things she made on the table and set up the dishes and chopsticks, she was secretly proud: "It's not difficult to cook, Xu Hao will definitely like to eat what I make." ”

After preparing everything, Liu Zhixuan poked her head out and shouted to Xu Hao: "The meal is ready, come and eat!" Xu Hao heard this, and quickly smeared the reconciled mud on the wall, and then walked into the house in three steps and two steps.

Xu Hao saw that there were three plates on the table, and there were more than ten black dumplings on each plate, just from the appearance Xu Hao knew that this thing was not simple, but this was Liu Zhixuan's first time cooking, and it was already very good to make it like this, although this thing was a little black and mushy, but maybe it tasted good.

"Come, wash your hands before eating, and look at the dirt on your body. Liu Zhixuan came to Xu Hao with a basin of water and said.

"Okay!" Xu Hao feels that it feels good to have a home, although the living conditions are a little difficult now, but with Liu Zhixuan by his side, life is still full of happiness and sweetness.

After washing his hands, Xu Hao sat on the table, he couldn't help but be a little stunned when he looked at the things on the table, but Liu Zhixuan, who had become a big cat sitting opposite him, was looking at him with a look of hope, and little stars were about to appear in his eyes, which made Xu Hao quite difficult to ride a tiger, and he secretly gritted his teeth: "People are fortunate to have done it hard, how can I not buy it." As he spoke, Xu Hao grabbed the nearest lump of things and threw it into his mouth.

"Smack!" Xu Hao felt that the seasoning box in his heart had been knocked over, this mass of things was salty and bitter first, and he chewed it and stuffed his entire mouth, this feeling made Xu Hao a little worse than dead, and the expression on his face became a little exciting, complex and distorted.

"Hmm, what's wrong, why do you have such an expression, isn't it delicious?" Liu Zhixuan's eyes flashed with sadness.

"No, no, no, it's delicious, it's delicious, it's the best thing I've ever had. Xu Hao said to Liu Zhixuan while chewing on the things in his mouth, but the contents in his mouth seemed to be inexhaustible, and he almost didn't eat Xu Hao enough in a lump, so he quickly grabbed the cup on the table and drank it all. Suddenly, his face returned to his original color, ah, it's good to be alive.

"Well, I knew you would like to eat the rice balls I made, and I will make them for you every day, so eat more. Liu Zhixuan picked up another dumpling and put it in Xu Hao's bowl and said.

"Well. Xu Hao gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, and threw a dumpling in his mouth, and then drank all the water that Liu Zhixuan had just poured for herself.

"Well, since it's so delicious, I'll try it too. Liu Zhixuan was very satisfied with Xu Hao's gobbling up look, and then grabbed one herself and took a hard bite.
