Tang Nian hooked the corners of his lips, clapped his hands, and said happily: "Then there is a lot of work, I will make some delicious food for everyone in the evening." ”

As soon as they heard the delicious food, Ah Hao and An Bao on the side had green eyes.

They all responded in unison: "Okay! Good! ”

Gu Lin was naturally not idle and joined their big team.

As soon as his long sword flashed, the stout bamboos in front of the door were directly cut down to the ground by him.

The dust on the ground was startled, but he still couldn't blind him.

Just now, Ah Hao mastered the method of moving bamboo, and now he is more handy at doing it.

Although An Bao's strength was very small, he still helped carefully.

The two small and short legs kicked the fixed bench in front of them, and then sharpened the bamboo pieces that Gu Lin had cut into and gradually thinned them with a knife.

The afternoon seemed to pass quickly, but the four of them worked together and had a very tacit understanding, and in a short time they made almost a hundred bamboo chips.

Gu Lin also engraved the pattern he designed on each bamboo piece.

But now the most important thing is, how can you make these pieces of bamboo unique?

Maybe dyeing is a good way to do it.

But for ordinary people, they don't learn this kind of knowledge.

But fortunately, when the Tang Dynasty opened the farmhouse, in order to restore the most authentic appearance of the farmhouse, many characteristic woods at that time were colored by herself.

"Are there any deciduous trees nearby?" Tang Nian asked coldly.

Gu Lin frowned lightly and was a little puzzled, she asked what was this for?

Tang Nian looked at his incomprehensible eyes and locked himself tightly, and quickly explained: "There is a lot of resin in the bark of deciduous trees, and those resins will turn brown when they come into contact with the air we breathe, so that our patterns have their unique colors. ”

Gu Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, he seemed to have read it in the book at the beginning, but ......

But Tang Nian was born in a poor and depressed countryside since he was a child, and he must have never gone to private school.

Even if they had that condition, the Tang family would not provide her with education.

In the ancient poor people's homes, there was only the truth for men to read, but how could there be a reason for daughters to read?

But Tang Nian's performance in the past few months has made Gu Lin more and more unpredictable.

Not only did she suddenly become much more well-behaved and sensible, but she also knew a lot of things that even he didn't know.

Seeing the man's ink-like eyes staring at him, Tang Nian raised his hand a little embarrassed, waved it in front of his eyes and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

Gu Lin's eyes flickered, looked away, and said slowly: "It's okay." ”

He pondered for a moment, and then continued, "There is a forest of trees at the end of the village, but that place is too far away, and many hunters have laid many traps in it, so it is getting late today, so let's go another day." ”

When Tang Nian heard this, he had no choice but to shrug his shoulders helplessly and nodded.

But it's okay, she's not in a hurry anyway, nothing can be done overnight.

An Bao on the side kept his head down, staring at his toes blankly, and only after a while did he lift his eyelids and look at Tang Nian with some concern.

He said in a soft and glutinous voice: "If a young person has to be busy with so many things, won't it make my mother tired." ”

Tang Nian thought about it carefully, in fact, what An Bao said was indeed not unreasonable.

Her shop business will definitely become more and more popular if it continues to develop according to this situation.

Keeping accounts, collecting money, wiping tables, serving dishes, and cooking, she doesn't have nine heads and six arms, how can she be busy alone?

Tang Nian raised his hand and gently supported his pointed chin, his face full of sadness.

And at the moment she doesn't have the extra money to hire someone else to help him.

Ah Hao's black eyes on the side rolled, and then he slapped the table and said excitedly: "Master, I'll help you in the future, anyway, I have nothing to do at home all day." ”

Tang Nian touched the back of his head, remembered for a moment, and said, "Aren't you going to herd the chickens every morning?" ”

Ah Hao looked serious, crossed his waist and shook his head.

"It's actually my friends' chickens, I don't have chickens at home, it's just because they're afraid of robbers on the road, and I'm strong and have nothing to do, so I accompany them every day."

Tang Nian bowed slightly, but then she laughed slowly.

"If you follow me, what will you do with those little friends?"

Ah Hao didn't care, and continued to shake his head and replied: "Now that Mianmian is about the same age as me, he can also protect his younger brothers and sisters." ”

After hearing this, Tang Nian was a little relieved and nodded, she walked slowly in front of him, touched his head, and said gently: "Then I will trouble you a lot in the future, but the master will give you a reward." ”

Ah Hao crossed his hands on his chest with righteous words: "This is what I should do, I don't have to be like this." ”

Tang Nian pretended to be very serious, "If you insist on not saying the reward, I don't want you." ”

Ah Hao frowned slightly, turned his head to look at his indifferent master, and lifted his eyelids to stare at Tang Nian.

After thinking for a moment, he replied helplessly, "Okay then." ”

An Bao also slowly walked in front of Tang Nian, stood on tiptoe, and pulled her cuffs.

"Mother, mother, Anbao can also do things for mother! Anbao is almost ten years old, can read and write, and can help his mother keep accounts! You can also help your mother serve food and clean up the dishes and chopsticks! ”

His eyes were full of anticipation, staring at Tang Nian.

Tang Nian was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say, after all, no matter what, she was not An Bao's biological mother.

If he agreed, it seemed to be a bit of a squeeze for him, and if he didn't...... I feel like Anbao will be unhappy too.

Tang Nian reluctantly turned his gaze for help to Gu Lin, and as the sun set, the dazzling light hit the man's perfect side face.

Gu Lin didn't know what he was thinking, he just looked into the distance and didn't notice Tang Nian's gaze.

Seeing that Tang Nian didn't speak, An Bao tugged lightly again, and said, "Mother, is it okay~"

"Mother...... This ......"

She turned her gaze to Gu Lin again, and Gu Lin finally looked at her.

He tilted his head slightly, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he hadn't heard what Fang Cai An Bao said at all.

Tang Nian was helpless, so he had to say: "An Bao wants to go to the shop with me to help, what do you think?" ”

Gu Lin's eyes flickered, and she looked at his bottomless eyes, unable to guess his thoughts at all.

After a while, Gu Lin nodded slightly.
