Chapter 69: Building a House

"Lan Lan, what are you going to do?" Gu Youan stood up in surprise.

"Honey, bring out the marinated meat skewers." Duran shouted into the room, and then set the slender tongs with iron handles on the fire to serve as a grill.

Du Mi brought out the meat skewers, and Du Lan carefully arranged the meat skewers one by one on the iron handle of the tongs for grilling.

The people in the courtyard had already seen that Duran was cooking barbecue for everyone to eat, but they had never seen this kind of roasting method of wearing meat into small skewers.

The most doubtful is Xue Yan, he thinks that he has traveled from south to north and is well-informed, he has seen some of the things he has seen to catch wild animals to roast in a hurry, and there is also the local food style of the barbarian tribe to roast cattle and sheep, but they are all whole pieces or whole animals to roast, and he has never seen meat divided into small skewers to roast.

Duran stood by the fire and tossed the skewers from time to time, and in a short time he was already sweating.

The rich smell of meat wafted in the courtyard, and everyone's saliva was watering just by smelling it, and no one had the heart to taste the delicious chicken soup on the table, waiting to taste the barbecue made by Duran.

At this moment, Aunt Zhang pushed the door with a basket, and a fragrant smell of barbecue came to her nose, and she couldn't help but praise: "Wow, it's so fragrant." ”

"Aunt Zhang, I was just saying that I would send you some to taste after the roast, so I won't have to run errands, come and sit down." Duran graciously invited.

Gu Youan hurriedly stood up and gave the bench to Aunt Zhang, who hurriedly waved her hand, "I came here after dinner, you can sit down and eat." ”

"Aunt Zhang, are you afraid that I won't be able to take care of it? Once you've eaten it, you'll have to taste it. Turning over the barbecue, Duran walked over with a few cooked ones.

Aunt Zhang stood aside, took the meat skewer with a smile, and said angrily: "You child, then the aunt is not welcome." ”

Du Mi stood by the fire, following Du Lan's example, constantly turning over the meat skewers, picking out the cooked ones and serving them on the table.

Everyone couldn't wait to pick up one and taste it, nodding their heads in unison, praising the deliciousness of the barbecue.

Xue Yan tasted it, looked at Du Lan happily, and asked, "How did you make this meat skewer bone crispy meat bullet?" ”

Hearing this compliment, Duran raised his eyebrows proudly, "My barbecue is called Bone and Meat Connection, which is made up of multiple pieces of cartilage and chicken breasts skewered on bamboo skewers, and it tastes layered. ”

When Aunt Zhang heard this, she smiled and quipped: "Duran told us such a good secret recipe, aren't you afraid that we will rob your business?" ”

"If any of you want to learn, I will give it to you for free, and it is my supreme honor to be able to bring you rich and rich." Duran joked in agreement.

After eating the meat skewers in her hand, Aunt Zhang took down the basket on her arm and put it on the ground, "Duran, Auntie knows that you have just split up and there is a shortage of food, and the chickens at home are diligent in laying eggs and can't finish eating." No, the eldest lady brought you some, you eat first. ”

"Auntie, you brought your two sons to help me work during the day, I am already grateful, how can I still ask for your things, you take them back."

"This kid, don't you look down on the eldest lady if you don't appreciate it?" Aunt Zhang pretended to be angry.

Duran's mother, Zhao, stood up, hunched over and walked to her side and said politely: "Sister-in-law of the Zhang family, don't say that, she just thinks that your family is not easy, you better take it back, there are a few chickens at home, and there is no shortage of eggs." ”

Aunt Zhang smiled kindly: "Your body needs to eat eggs to make up for it, my two sons are married, and we are just waiting to enjoy Qingfu." Don't shirk it, just a few eggs, it's not a valuable thing, and don't take it as a big favor, I just think Duran is upright and wants to walk around with her. ”

"The eldest lady is also a good person. I am also willing to be closer to my aunt. Duran smiled at Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang smiled with satisfaction after hearing this, "As the old saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and everyone will help each other in the future." ”

"That's, that's." Zhao chimed in.

Aunt Zhang saw her bending over and hurriedly told her to sit down quickly.

Duran grabbed another handful of barbecue meat and stuffed it into Aunt Zhang's basket, and said, "Give my two brothers back to taste it." ”

Seeing this, Aunt Zhang hurriedly hid the basket to the side: "Don't, don't, you have so many at home, I won't bring it home." ”

Duran insisted on not agreeing: "Then how can it be done, I might as well bring a few strings back to taste it." ”

As she spoke, she stuffed it into the basket, and Aunt Zhang no longer shirked, said goodbye to Duran and went back.

After all the meat skewers were cooked, Duran asked Du Mi to take some back for her father and mother to taste as well, Du Mi nodded happily and grabbed a handful of meat skewers and went home.

After Du Mi left, Zhao glanced at Du Lan deeply, and said worriedly: "Child, if you let Mi take some away, and let your grandparents know, they will definitely complain about you." ”

"What are you complaining about, Uncle and Aunt Zhang have helped me build a house, I don't have anything good to thank them, so I barbecued meat tonight and took it to repay something." What Du Lan said was reasonable, and he was not worried at all that Mrs. Du would come to find trouble.

Duran set aside some for Grandpa Gu, a total of two chickens, and after deboning the chickens, he didn't wear many skewers, this time he divided some into the east and some in the west, and there was not much left on the table.

However, everyone here was addicted to a mouthful, and everyone ate to their heart's content.

The next day, everyone went to the house to help build the house, there were more men, and everyone thought that Gu You'an was weak and did not let him share the labor more. In response to that sentence, the strength of the people is great, the men work together, and in a few strokes they lift the wooden beams to the roof, and Xingsheng guides everyone while buckling the roof tiles, everyone learns carefully, and after a day's work, the rows of roofs are presented in front of everyone.

Everyone smeared and leveled the yard again, looking at the brand-new courtyard, Gu You'an felt indescribably comfortable.

After the new house is built, it will have to be dried for five or six days before people can live in it, and during this time, Duran can only live in his mother's house.

There is no need to worry about the house, after letting Du Liang plant soybeans that day, she has never been to the field again, and she happened to be free on this day, so she went to the field with Gu Youan to see the emergence of soybeans.

When he came to the field, he found that Grandpa Gu had arrived first, Gu Youan hurriedly walked over, "Grandpa, why are you here?" ”

"I'm idle at home, so I want to look in the fields."

Du Lan also followed, grabbed Old Man Gu's arm, and said affectionately: "Grandpa, the affairs in the field are up to me and You'an, don't come after your legs and feet are inconvenient." ”

Old Man Gu smiled and said, "Grandpa is old and useless, and even his granddaughter-in-law dislikes me." ”

"Grandpa!" Duran pursed his lips in displeasure, "I don't dislike you." ”

"Okay, okay, grandpa said the wrong thing. But then again, grandpa can still help with this little favor. You see, the bean seedlings here are growing well, but they are sparse over there, and it seems that the seedlings still need to be replenished. ”

"Well, this is indeed true, or grandpa knows more."

In the afternoon, Duran and Gu Youan went to the field to replenish soybeans, this acre of land will be her experiment in the future, Duran is particularly interested in the harvest in the field, so he takes care of it very carefully.

In the evening, Du Mi came to her again, and after Du Lan came into contact with Du Mi, he felt that this girl had a good temperament and was very kind, so she was naturally willing to associate with her.

Du Lan and Gu Youan went to the uncle's house with Du Mi, and when Du Boss saw that both of them were coming, he hurriedly smiled and beckoned them into the house.

"Lanlan, You'an, come into the house."

"Uncle, I wonder what you are doing with us?" Duran stepped forward and asked.

"Hehe, Uncle has nothing to do with you, it's just chatting about family things." With that, he let Duran and Gu Youan into the house.

While pouring tea for them, Aunt Du praised the delicious barbecue that Du Lan made last night.

Duran smiled, "If the eldest lady likes to eat it, I will bake it for the eldest lady to eat in the future." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll teach the eldest lady how to bake it when I'm free another day, and the eldest lady can bake it at home and eat it herself."

"Okay." Duran replied cheerfully.

A few people politely said a few words, and Boss Du changed the topic: "The house has been built, and you can live in a few days." ”

"Hmm." Gu Youan nodded busily on the side. "Thankfully, we would have had to wait a little longer to stay. Uncle also helped us a lot, and we didn't know how to thank us. ”

Boss Du waved his hand and smiled: "I don't dare to take credit, it's because the two of you are popular and everyone is willing to help that it was built so quickly." ”

"Uncle is too modest, I know in my heart that you are good to my family, and I will definitely remember it."

Boss Du smiled and nodded, these two children are really right, they are masters with conscience.

"Lan Lan, has Dr. Xue treated your mother? How so? ”

"Brother Xue said that my mother's illness is mainly caused by the cold accumulated all year round, not a major illness, but if you want to be completely cured, I'm afraid it will take some time."

When Boss Du heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, that's good, I heard what Dr. Xue said that day was serious, I thought it was ...... As long as it can be cured. Now that you have split up, you don't have to be angry with your aunt in the future, which is also a good thing. ”

On the side, Du Mi reminded her father: "Dad, why did you mention this again?" ”

"Hehe, don't mention it, don't mention it, it's just You'an, what are your plans in the future? It's summer, and there are a lot of fish in the river, and in winter, the river is going to freeze. ”

"Uncle is really thinking about the two of us, my niece thanked Uncle first, as for the future, let's take one step at a time." Duran didn't want to talk about brewing cooking wine for the time being, after all, it was still in the experimental stage.

Boss Du didn't know Du Lan's thoughts, in order to show his concern, he took out two taels of silver from his arms and handed them to Du Lan: "Uncle is really helping you, but his ability is limited, but I am your own uncle, and you owe Ji'an Tang money for medicine, and build a house, so your hands must be tight." But no more, no less, Uncle will do his best to help if he can. ”

Du Lan really didn't expect Boss Du to come to her to lend her money, and he was immediately taken aback, "Uncle, this can't be helped." How can I spend your money! ”
