053 Lu Ban was also blind
(Routine ticket - don't say that the fish head is slower, look at the new books in the same period, the fish head is the most, the new book period, six thousand a day is not less wow, and if you force it down, the fish head will become dried fish -)
When the crisp and melodious birdsong gradually became louder, Li Mu finally woke up. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Stepping barefoot on the floor with clear wooden textures, the cool feeling rushed straight to his mind, and Li Mu became sober in an instant.
Tearing off the sheets covering the windows, the slightly cool fresh air with the moist smell of the river and the fresh smell of the plants came to the face, the sky was already bright, but the sun had not yet come out, the sky was blue and intoxicating, a few white clouds hung leisurely in the sky, there were unknown birds chasing freely in the sky, there were already industrious fishermen at work on the Connecticut River, and there were children chasing and playing happily on the streets of the town, mixed with the excited barking of the hounds, and a new day began.
Lao Yantou and Yan Hu have started to work downstairs, there are a lot of logs and planks on the ground at the door of the firewood room, Lao Yantou holds a charcoal strip in his hand, and from time to time measures the size of the wooden board in front of him with the palm of his hand, and then carves a mark with the charcoal strip, Yan Hu is a coolie next to him, whenever Lao Yantou needs a piece of wood, Yan Hu will carry the wood over and put it next to Lao Yantou.
Will was feeding the horses in the stable, with a bucket at his feet, and it seemed that he had just bathed Prometheus, who was still eating non-stop, shaking his head and tail, and snorting excitedly while eating, for fear that others would not know that he was a foodie.
Yan Shun came back from the Connecticut River, carrying two fat fish in his hands, tied together with straw ropes, and when he saw Yan Hu, he picked them up and proudly displayed them, as if he was showing off his harvest.
A clean white round-necked shirt and a brand new azure-colored jeans were placed at the head of Li Mu's bed, and there was a curved cowboy hat embroidered with a police badge next to it, it seemed that this was a gift from Will to Li Mu, Li Mu did not rush to change clothes, and wore a pajama to the bathroom on the second floor to take a shower, and then changed his clothes and came to the first floor refreshed.
The kitchen on the first floor is an open kitchen, separated from the living room by a dining table, which is two tables side by side, surrounded by a total of nine chairs, four of which are leather dining chairs with high backs and armrests, with openwork carvings on the edges and armrests, and the other stools are clearly improvised.
Gloria, Chu Xue and Yan Mu are busy in the kitchen, but because of the language barrier, the three of them rarely communicate with each other, and the cooking is not the same, Gloria seems to have prepared a simple omelette and milk, Yan Mu and Chu Xue are much more complicated, milk and eggs are essential, in addition to fried buns and roasted wheat, Gloria is simply dumbfounded.
Seeing Li Mu coming, Yan's mother rubbed her hands and came to Li Mu's side, her expression was quite uneasy: "Mr. Will let it be put on such a table, saying that they will eat together in the future, which is not appropriate." ”
In fact, whether it is the East or the West, there are classes, and there is absolutely a clear distinction, the master is the master, the servant is the servant, and the master and the servant do not eat at the same table, which is the basic rule.
However, for Will, this "unspoken rule" is obviously inappropriate, Will is from a military family, not a nobleman, and Will did not have servants in the family before, so there are not so many rules.
"It's quite suitable, it's decided." Li Mu didn't have the young master's concubine, and he didn't want to call the Chuxue family as slaves because he spent 10,000 taels of silver on the Chuxue family, and the basic personality respect was still there.
Seeing that it was not yet time to eat, Li Mu waved his hand to Yan's mother, said hello to Chu Xue and Gloria, and went out directly.
"Brother Mu, the foreign devils are really rich here, these are all good wood, and they are the most suitable for furniture, but the foreign devils are used to split the fire, and they really deserve to be struck by lightning-" Seeing Li Mu go out, Lao Yan hurriedly roared over, and couldn't help but be indignant between his words.
"That's, that's it, it's very good here, there are so many fish in the river, I'll go to the river to take a bath and make a nest casually, and I'll catch several of them after a while, and the foreign devils don't know how to use fishing nets, let's get a fishing boat another day, and make sure that the fish can't be eaten." Yan Shun also came over to be indignant, but it was more of a show.
This is a question of living space, in the land of the Qing Empire, the Chinese have multiplied for thousands of years, the population density is unimaginable, basically the land that can be cultivated and planted has been fully utilized, the fields have to be planted with trees, there can be a vacant land in front of the house and behind the house to get a vegetable garden out, the Chinese are so difficult to survive.
The United States has a land area of 9.3 million square kilometers and a population of only about 40 million, and it is basically evenly distributed between the east and west coasts, which is not the same concept as the Qing Empire, where more than 400 million people were crammed into the narrow central and eastern regions. Canada in the north is even more miserable, with a land area of more than 9.9 million square kilometers and a population of just over 4 million, and only 2.5 square kilometers can be described as deserted.
The scarcity of the population has protected the natural features to the greatest extent, which can be seen from Li Mu and his team crossing the United States by train, along the railway is a large area of uncultivated land, herds of bison are running wild on the grassland, if these lands are handed over to the Chinese, tsk, they will turn you into the Jiangnan of North America in minutes.
Li Mu does not have the ideal of governing the country and the world now, and it is the right choice to be alone when his ability is insufficient, so Li Mu can see it: "Hehe, material abundance is a good thing, we will be safe when we come, you should use wood to build a house to make furniture or something, you are not welcome to go to the river to fish, and don't be a foreign devil in the future, for the United States, we are foreign devils-"
"Hahahaha-" Li Mu's words caused the Yan family and his son to burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed.
"Xue and her mother told me about making furniture last night, Brother Mu, don't worry, this job will be handed over to me Lao Yan, for three days at most, I promise to make you a beautiful and sturdy bed, and it will be no problem to sleep three or five people." Lao Yan thought a little far, fully satisfying Li Mu's fantasy as a man.
"Don't be in a hurry to make the bed in advance, let's go shopping first, and we'll talk about it when we get back." Li Mu has a plan.
"Buy-buy-buy-" Lao Yan's expression changed to sincere fear, it seemed that Li Mu's generosity in San Francisco left a deep impression on Lao Yan.
"You must buy sheets, pillows, covers, clothes for everyday wear, cups, plates, bowls, basins, and tools for your work, which one should not be bought?" Li Mu is thoughtful, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.
"Okay, then buy it-" Lao Yan gritted his teeth and decided to follow Li Mu's family, after all, if you want to live here for more than ten years, some things are still necessary, especially the tools used for work, if you don't have these things, Lao Yan will be blind even if he is Lu Ban.
