Chapter 184 Wild boars can’t eat fine chaff
Cheng Yue heard the sound coming out of the kitchen, and Zhao Sihu had already run far away. She couldn't help but sigh: "Uncle Sihu runs so fast!"
Qian Yulan laughed and said, "Uncle Sihu was afraid that we would ask him to keep some food for us, so he left quickly!"
How could Cheng Yue not know? She shook her head and smiled, "It's just a meal, it's nothing."
She is not that stingy. They live in a village and they won’t go poor if they have enough food.
Wang Chunmei lifted the lid of the pot and used a spatula to stir the food. "The food is ready. Sister Cheng Yue, do you want to eat?"
"It's already noon, let's eat!"
After Cheng Yue finished speaking, Wang Chunmei immediately responded, "Hey! Then I'll go and call!"
He ran out after saying that. After a while, he heard footsteps outside the door. "What are you cooking? Why does it smell so good?"
"I didn't feel hungry while working, but now when I smell this, my stomach is growling!"
Cheng Yue shouted: "Everyone has worked hard, come in and have a meal!"
The smell was so delicious that a group of people came in, quickly placed their pickaxes against the wall, and quickly took their bowls and chopsticks to wait by the pot.
When helping someone build a house, not only do you have to bring your own pickaxe, shovel and basket, but you also have to bring your own bowls and chopsticks. Otherwise, there definitely won't be enough for so many people. This is an established rule.
In fact, Cheng Yue bought a lot of bowls and chopsticks in advance, but since everyone had prepared them, she didn't take any out.
Everyone lined up along the edge of the pot. As the master chef, Master Qin should have been at the front. He couldn't help but stare wide-eyed when he saw the food in the pot.
Although it is a common pork, cabbage and tofu stew, Cheng Yue put a lot of meat in it!
When I looked over there, wow, those were all greasy slices of meat!
Several skilled workers standing behind Master Qin stretched their necks to look forward and couldn't help drooling.
Houshui Village is poor, and they are all prepared. They will definitely not be able to eat good meals, but their wages have not been deducted, so they are not at a loss. They just came!
As a result, the food here is no worse than others. It seems that they are too narrow-minded!
Qian Yulan and Wang Chunmei quickly served everyone some rice and vegetables. "Everyone eat first, and come back for more after you're done. The host said we'll definitely make sure you're full!"
Almost everyone took a large bowl, so most people were full, and those with big appetites were too embarrassed to order more.
Now that the master has spoken, they naturally happily responded: "Okay! Thank you, master! The master is so generous!"
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Everyone eat well and work hard!"
Everyone laughed when he said this, and Liu Chunlai took the lead in expressing his opinion, "I promise to work hard!"
Zhang Dashan pretended to glare at him, "You are the only one who stands out!"
Originally, Master Ji and a few of the skilled workers were not familiar with Cheng Yue and the others, but now that they were interrupted, the atmosphere became particularly relaxed as they started chatting and laughing.
Chen An called Liu Chunlai, "Don't talk nonsense, I need you right now, help me put the table together."
Then he said to the crowd, "Everyone, bring your own stools and sit down!"
One of the workers shouted nonchalantly: "Sit anywhere, we don't care about that, we can just squat anywhere and eat!"
Everyone is used to squatting to eat because there are not enough stools, but Chen An had made a lot of stools before, which can seat at least 30 people.
"Sit down if you're told to. Wild boars can't eat fine bran!"
After Master Ji cursed, he sat down. If you don’t want to sit down, then forget it. He sat down!
Several skilled workers laughed, and Master Ji looked grumpy again, so they quickly sat down!
Cheng Yue smiled, then walked to the door and looked out. Seeing that no one was there, she asked Chen An, "Uncle Lizheng, where are Aunt Xu and the others?"
"Just now, Sister Chunmei called for dinner, and in the blink of an eye, everyone left. I couldn't stop them."
Cheng Yue was helpless. Eating her meal was like a great bargain. When it was time to eat, they all ran away...
Qian Yulan served the dishes while calling out to Cheng Yue and Chen An: "It won't be comfortable for them to eat here, so just ignore it and come and eat!"
Since the family had prepared meals, Cheng Yue didn't cook for herself. She just ate the same food as everyone else. Otherwise it would be troublesome and not look good.
Chen Tong and Chen Ning sat on one side, eating with relish. It really felt good when there were many people scrambling to eat.
After serving the food to everyone, Qian Yulan and Wang Chunmei took off their bibs and prepared to leave. "Sister Cheng Yue, we'll go back first and come back tomorrow!"
Zhang Dashan and Zhang Dajiang are in charge of meals. It's okay to eat here. They only cook one meal, and it's not appropriate to eat after getting paid.
Cheng Yue stopped him and said, "Why are you leaving? Come sit down and eat together. This meal is meant for you!"
As he said that, he pressed the two of them down on the stool. Qian Yulan and Wang Chunmei looked awkward. They never expected that Cheng Yue, who looked so thin and small, could be so strong?
They couldn't leave, so they quickly glanced at Zhang Dashan and Zhang Dajiang, but the two brothers were eating so happily with their faces buried in the bowls, so how could they have time to care about them?
The two sisters-in-law looked at each other and said, “Let’s eat!”
Everyone in the yard was concentrating on eating, and over there was a group of men, led by Zhao Datou, who ate the fastest.
Seeing that he had finished eating, Cheng Yue quickly served him another big bowl. Zhao Datou thanked him repeatedly and ran down the mountain amid everyone's envious gazes.
If I had known earlier, I would have asked for less wages and sent some food home! It was worth the five cents!
By the time Zhao Datou ran up panting, everyone had almost finished eating. They washed their dishes and went back to work.
Cheng Yue said: "Everyone has just finished their meal, let's take a break before we continue working."
Master Ji raised his hand and said, "It's okay, let's do something easy first! We dug up a lot of stones from the foundation and haven't picked them up yet."
Cheng Yue couldn't stop them, so she just let them go. After the group of people left, the courtyard became empty again.
Qian Yulan and Wang Chunmei had also finished their meal and were busy washing everyone's dishes.
Cheng Yue saw that there was still a lot of food in the pot, so she took some bowls to scoop it up, making it exactly five full bowls.
She didn't want to continue eating this in the evening as she couldn't get used to such a high oil content. After eating this meal at noon, she felt she would have diarrhea in the afternoon.
"Sister Yulan, Sister Chunmei, there is still so much food left. It would be a waste if we throw it away. If you don't mind, you can take it back and eat it."
Although no one stuck to the chopsticks, it was still leftovers after all, and I felt a little embarrassed to give them to others.
Wang Chunmei refused again and again: "How can I eat and take it at the same time?"
Who could mind such a good meal? On the contrary, it was too good to take.
Qian Yulan understood what Cheng Yue meant. If they didn't take it away, they would probably throw it away. Wouldn't that be a waste of food?
"Then let's take it. Aunt Xu was busy here just now, so send two bowls to her family, as well as Aunt Li and Aunt Yang. Give the remaining bowl to Qiu Fen."
Cheng Yue had no opinion on who to give it to, but said, "Send it to Qiu Fen's house to look after Er Laizi, don't let him do anything to harm him!"
Erlaizi's house has been renovated, and Wang Qiufen and the three girls have moved back long ago. People like Erlaizi always stuff all the delicious food into their own mouths and have no interest in a wife and children at all.
Qian Yulan groaned, "I don't know where Er Laizi has been. He hasn't been home for many days!"
After that, he pouted three times, "Pooh, pooh, pooh, you lousy mouth of mine! We'll send it there right now!"
On the first day of construction, Qian Yulan slapped her own mouth when she heard the word "death" and went down the mountain with Wang Chunmei, carrying a basket of bowls.
Cheng Yue thought, it would be better if she died outside, which would be considered as doing good for Wang Qiufen and the child. She would be a nuisance if she was alive anyway!
