After returning home, Yan Wu and Liu Wenniang helped build a simple straw shed.

"Little sister, time is limited. This is all we can do for now. The third child and I will come over in two days to help repair it."

"Okay, second brother, mother, you guys should wash your hands and come to eat."

Yan Shu took the time to prepare dinner while they were busy.

A dish of braised pork ribs, a dish of sweet and sour fish, a plate of stir-fried baby cabbage, and more than half a bucket of white rice steamed in the rice steaming barrel.

"Daughter, why are you still cooking? We can just go back and eat."

Yan Shu brought a basin of water and asked them to wash their hands.

"What's the difference between eating at your daughter's place and eating at home?"

Liu Wenniang laughed.

"makes sense."

"Half of the food I cooked has been divided into food boxes. I will bring it back to Dad and the others when you go back later. This will save you having to go back and make dinner."

"Hey, listen to my daughter."

Liu Wenniang nodded cooperatively.

After washing their hands, the three of them sat in the main room and started eating.

Yan Wu stared at the food on the table and smiled.

"My little sister, the food here is good. Since you and Jiang Erlang left, the family has returned to its usual standard. I haven't eaten meat for a long time."

Liu Wenniang glared at him.

"The big piece of meat fried yesterday was eaten by the dog?"

Yan Wu pursed his lips. He almost ate the few pieces of meat that his father and eldest brother needed to replenish their bodies. He only ate a thin piece of fat meat. How could he compare with his little sister?

Although I thought so in my heart, I didn't dare to say it with my mouth, so I could only eat in silence.

Yan Shu smiled and said: "Second brother, if you are free in the next two days, come over and help me build a donkey shed. I will serve you well."

"Haha, that's a good relationship. We're here to help, and we won't have to see Wang Dahua's face as a debt collector."

"Then it's settled."

"it is good."

Yan Wu ate a large bowl of white rice, and the meat was even more filling.

"I'm going to wash the dishes."

After Yan Shu and Liu Wenniang finished eating, Yan Wu volunteered to wash the dishes.

After the meal, Yan Shu took out two pieces of crow-blue cotton cloth and one piece of white fine cotton cloth.

"Mom, hello, you are a good worker. You can take these pieces of cloth back to make clothes for your father and eldest brother. The white fine cotton cloth will be used as the lining, and this piece of dark-colored cloth will be reserved for you to make clothes for yourself. "

Liu Wenniang's eyes widened.

"Daughter, why did you buy so much cloth at once?"

"You'll need it sooner or later. It might be cheaper to buy it now. I see that the clothes you and dad wear are all patched. It's time to buy two new clothes."

"How can we country people wear such good materials? We can't spend money like this in the future."

Yan Shu knew that they had been frugal all their lives and could not accept her spending habits for a while, so he nodded cooperatively.

"Daughter, I know. Mom, I bought all this cloth. If I don't make clothes, it will be a waste."

Liu Wenniang looked at the pieces of cotton with a distressed look on her face.

"This is my daughter's wish, so let's make it into clothes."

Yan Wu washed the dishes and the two of them left after taking a short rest.

Yan Shu sent them out. After watching the ox cart go away, she turned around and prepared to go home.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a sneaky figure. Sensing that Yan Shu had spotted him, the man quickly turned around and ran into the woods.

It was dark, and the other person was relatively far away from her. She could vaguely tell that he was a man from his figure.

Yan Shu felt a little uneasy. She was alone at home, wouldn't she be watched secretly?

It seems like we need to pay more attention these nights.

Yan Shu quickly returned home, locked the door and returned to his room.

She lit an oil lamp and stepped into the space.

The wheat and rice in the fields will be harvested for a few more days. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and she also wants to make some mooncakes to sell.

She currently has more than 500 taels of silver in her hand. According to the consumption level here, more than 500 taels of silver is definitely a huge sum of money.

If you want to escape from famine in the future, this little money will definitely not be enough.

I still have to find a way to make some more money before the riots to feel at ease.

-

For three days, Yan Shu slept at home during the day and went into space to harvest crops at night.

Three acres of rice have finally been harvested.

Next, Yan Shu prepared the ingredients for the mooncakes. He made some of each of bean paste fillings, fruit fillings, salted egg yolks, black sesame seeds, and five kernels.

Yan Shu directly packaged them in butter paper, put five mooncakes into each paper package, and wrote the flavor on red paper and stuck it on the wrapping paper.

After working for most of the day, I made more than 100 moon cakes.

the next morning

Brothers Yan Wu and Yan Huai came to the house to help build a donkey shed.

The two of them first went around the simple donkey shed and discussed how to build it more appropriately.

When he saw the arrogant donkey brother, Yan Wu's face was full of surprise.

When they bought the donkey, it snorted and glared, looking reluctant to follow them.

Unexpectedly, after not seeing them for just three days, the donkey became much more docile and no longer rolled his eyes when he saw them.

"Little sister, how did you tame Brother Donkey? He looks very obedient now."

Yan Shu walked to the hay pile, picked up a handful of hay and threw it into the stone trough.

"I didn't do anything. I just followed the instructions from the shopkeeper and fed them three meals a day with fodder and water on time."

Yan Wu looked envious: "It seems Brother Donkey likes you very much. His eyes brightened when he saw you coming."

Yan Shu secretly laughed in his heart, how could Brother Lu see her eyes light up?She obviously saw the fodder she was holding light up.

After feeding it the spiritual grass and spiritual spring water in the space, the donkey seemed to have opened the door to a new world.

It has completely turned its back on ordinary fodder.

Yan Huai took a look at the donkey: "It is indeed a good donkey. I heard from my mother that my little sister bought the donkey cart to do a small business. What have you thought about?"

Yan Shu smiled slightly.

"I plan to sell some pastries during the Moon and Eve Festival. I happened to make some and will give you a try later."

Yan Huai said: "Don't worry, we just came here after breakfast, and we're not hungry yet. Let's work first."

"it is good."

The three of them worked together until almost noon.

The top of the donkey shed was almost reinforced. Jiang Huai laid thatch layer by layer, and Yan Wu piled mud on the bottom to build the wall.

Yan Shu saw that it was getting late, so he ran to wash his hands and prepare to cook.

He took out a piece of meat from the space and went to the vegetable garden to pick a handful of beans and make a pot of stewed beans and noodles.

The three brothers and sisters sat around a table and had a meal together.

Yan Huai touched his belly after eating.

"This braised noodles is so delicious, little sister, can you make this again tomorrow?"

Yan Shu smiled and said, "If you like it, you can continue making it tomorrow."

"By the way, where are the pastries made by my little sister? Let us take a look."

"Okay, I'll get it."

Yan Shu went to the kitchen and took out the mooncakes that had been placed on a rough plate in advance.

There are a total of five mooncakes on the plate, each cut into two halves.

"Moon cake?" Yan Huai picked up a piece filled with five kernels.

He knew this. They were sold in the town every year during the Moon Festival. When they were young, apart from celebrating the New Year, what the children looked forward to the most was eating mooncakes during the Moon Festival.

Yan Wu took a look: "This is the first time I have seen so many flavors of mooncakes."

"You guys have a try."
