"Old Uncle Hu, you came so early!" Du Yunxi opened the door and saw that it was actually Uncle Hu, and on the road outside the door, there was a whole car full of wood parked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Not early, not early, it's not like you're going to start work early this morning, this wood was loaded last night. Lao Hu was tying the ox rope he was holding to a big tree not far away.

"Oh, that's a bother. Have you had breakfast?

"I've eaten, I've had breakfast before I came over. Where are these pieces of wood going to be placed?" asked Uncle Hu Du Yunxi.

Such a thick piece of wood was moved around. It's heavy and troublesome, so it's better to drive the ox cart directly to the open space behind.

"Old Uncle Hu, drive this ox cart to the open space behind. Do you think it's okay?" Du Yunxi pointed to the open space in the distance next to him.

Lao Hu also walked in to take a look and said that it was no problem at all. After that, he went to untie the rope he had just tied and drove the ox cart to the clearing.

At this moment, Li Dashan also came over with several middle-aged men.

Du Yunxi counted it, there were four people, plus Li Dashan was five.

"Uncle Li, you're here. Du Yunxi said to Li Dashan, who was walking in the front.

"Well, Yunxi! These people are all from the village I was looking for, and there is no work in the field now. Everyone said that they could just give some wages. ”

Everyone knows that Du Yunxi's family, orphans and widows, is here to help, and they don't want to take much money.

"Huh...... Uncles came to help me with things, Yunxi is grateful. This salary still has to be talked about first, sixty wen a day. What do you think of eating at my house at noon?"

When she came back yesterday, she asked Li Dashan how much he was paid a day for working for others, and he said that it was usually only 50 yuan. Therefore, she gave more than ten wen, and she also thought that they should be careful and hurry up.

As soon as they heard that Yunxi gave sixty words, everyone brought by Li Dashan smiled, originally, when Li Dashan went to their house to say it yesterday. It's already good to think that I can get thirty or forty wen. Unexpectedly, as soon as I came today, I would say sixty wen.

"Yunxi girl, isn't it too much for sixty wen a day?" Li Dashan called Du Yunxi aside and said softly.

"Uncle Li, I gave ten more articles, and I also thought that they should be faster and work more carefully, if they could do it in one day. Then I didn't earn it again. Du Yunxi smiled softly and told Li Dashan her plan.

"Huh...... You're right, it's Uncle who wants to go wrong. Li Dashan smiled heartily, greeted everyone, and went to Lao Huna to unload the wood on the car.

Seeing that they were all busy, Du Yunxi turned around and went to the kitchen, and talked to the He family about what to cook at noon.

There are so many people, if you don't steam two pots of steamed buns, it will save trouble and be full. Du Yunxi thought about it, so he went to the house to get the twenty catties of white flour that Tie Sanniang gave them yesterday.

"Xi'er, what are you doing with this white flour?" He Shi, who was washing vegetables, saw Du Yunxi carrying a cloth bag containing white flour.

"Mother, these people who work eat a lot, we steam a few pots of steamed buns and don't cook, just stir-fry some vegetables. Moreover, I haven't eaten steamed buns in a long time. Du Yunxi held the basin and was about to pour flour into the basin.

"I'm going to eat too...... I want to eat ...... too" Du Yunhao, who was playing in the yard, heard their conversation and ran into the kitchen.

"Wow...... This flour is so white!" Du Yunhao saw the flour in the basin, and his little hand reached in and touched it.

Du Yunxi, who was adding water to the basin, scraped Du Yunhao's little nose with his hand. Seeing Du Yunhao looking at Du Yunxi with a confused face, that small appearance made Du Yunxi laugh.

"Mother, look at our family Hao'er, is it good-looking?" Du Yunxi turned his head and called He.

Du Yunhao saw Du Yunxi laughing at him, and touched his nose with his hand, thinking that there was something dirty. As a result, the more the flour was touched, the more Du Yunxi laughed, and he almost couldn't straighten his waist.

"Xi'er, don't fix your brother. He said to Du Yunxi with a smile.

"Hao'er...... Hurry up and wash up, go outside to play, my mother and sister are going to cook. ”

Seeing that his mother and sister were laughing at him, he touched his face again, and after touching it, he looked at his hands, which were all white. The little one pouted, as if he finally knew something was wrong.

"Huh...... Hao'er, come and wash and look at your little flower face. Du Yunxi scooped half a basin of water, put it on the ground, and called Du Yunhao to go over and wash.

In the kitchen, Du Yunxi and He were busy, and the workers who built the wooden shed outside were also busy.

The sun rises higher and higher, and the weather gets hotter and hotter. I forgot to buy tea when I went to the market, so I just had boiled water.

Du Yunxi boiled a large pot of boiling water and took a few bowls. Bring it outside and place it on a stool next to the open space.

"Uncles, there is water here, pour it for yourself when you are thirsty!" Du Yunxi glanced at it, all sides had been set up, and the area inside the wooden shed was still very large.

"Hey...... Okay!" A middle-aged uncle with a sweaty face turned his head and answered.

After watching it for a while, Du Yunxi turned around and went into the kitchen again, and the steamed buns were still steaming in the pot. Uncle Hu didn't know how many times he had run back and forth.

"Mother, stew these bones!" Du Yunxi poured all the pig bones that had just been pulled up from the well into the basin.

Now the weather is hot, meat or something, when Du Yunxi came back yesterday, they put a lot of it in a basket and hoisted it into the well, so that it will be placed for a longer time and will not be easy to break.

"Okay, take the turnips, and cut them more. He glanced at the pig bones in the basin, and thought in his heart that there were so many big men working outside, stew more soup to make steamed buns.

Du Yunxi and the others bought a lot of meat yesterday and bought a pig's leg, and saw that there were still so many bones on the meat stall that no one wanted. Thinking that Li Dashan and they would come to work tomorrow, eat a pot, and eat well, I bought them all at a cheap price, which was almost half bought and half given.

So. I don't feel reluctant to get so much here.

After washing the bones, Du Yunxi opened the lid of the pot. Suddenly, a fragrance that belongs to wheat wafted out.

These three steamed buns are all served to the small stove next to them, and they can be kept warm with low heat. Pour the bones into the cauldron, pour water over the bones, and set up a fire to boil.

Then scoop up the bones, pour out the water in the pot, put them back in, add water, put some spices, and cook slowly.

Minutes and seconds passed. By the time Du Yunxi and the others finished frying, the people working outside were almost hungry, and everyone drank some corn paste at their own house in the morning, and they were about to eat something else.

Smelling the smell of meat in the kitchen, everyone's mood was very happy, and their hands became stronger. In just half a day's work, the wooden shed has been set up all around, and it is almost unroofed.

When Du Yunxi went out to call them to eat, he didn't expect two ox carts to stop there. A young man with a good figure and a muscular body that was about to burst his clothes was actually helping to lift the wood.

"Uncles, thank you for your hard work. Let's go wash our hands and start eating. After speaking, Du Yunxi turned around and walked towards the ox cart.

Old Uncle Hu saw Du Yunxi coming over, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Little girl, this is my Hu Jiao." I saw that your family invited a lot of people, and this ox cart did not pull much, so when I went back, I borrowed one from another family in the village and asked him to send it with me. ”

"I see, I don't know how to thank you. Du Yunxi couldn't help laughing in his heart, but he didn't expect that the muscular man was his son, and he actually called such a strange name, which was even funnier than Zheng Hao's name. Pepper...... I don't know if it's called peppercorns, peppers or something.

"Huh...... Thank you, this is also what I should do," Uncle Hu said while helping to carry the wood.

"Xie is right, if it weren't for Uncle Hu, who rushed the wood over, the people I invited would have to wait on the sidelines. ”

"So much wood, it should be enough!" Du Yunxi looked at the pile next to the station.

"Well, it's done. The wood on the ox cart was unloaded, and Lao Hu led the oxen rope and prepared to drive the oxen out of the door and put them away.

"Oh, then go wash your hands and go inside to eat!"

"That...... Pepper, go wash your hands and go inside to eat!" Du Yunxi said with a smile as he walked up to Hu Jiao.

Hearing Du Yunxi call him, Hu Jiao turned around, but Du Yunxi didn't come back to his senses for a while.
