Chapter 119 Tai Jicai's specialty!

Tai Jizu immediately said, "I'll pick up some firewood nearby and put it here? I'll come over to build a wooden house in a few days, and I'll have to use it then."

The old man waved his hand, as if he didn't care at all, and Tai Jizu went to work with Pidian'er's sesame balls.

Yang Lihua packed up her things, Tai Jizu also came back, everyone helped put the dry firewood into the temporary shack, and then went down the mountain.

By the time we got home, the sun was almost overhead.

Standing in front of the door, Liu Dongniang wished she could stretch her neck a few inches, so she rushed to meet them when she finally saw them.

"Is Zhuzhu feeling better? Why did you come back? We were so worried about her that we didn't dare to sleep all night."

As she spoke, she took Zhuzhu over and asked distressedly, "Have Zhuzhu eaten in the morning? Are you hungry? Auntie has steamed meat buns for you, and she hasn't opened the basket yet."

Zhuzhu smiled happily and hurriedly presented the treasure to her aunt.

"Auntie, we picked wild berries, which are very sweet, and I gave them to my aunt!"

"Okay, okay, the berries picked by Zhuzhu must be delicious!" Liu Dongniang coaxed the child and led everyone in.

But the old man went directly around the front yard and went to the back.

On the construction site, everyone was still busy, in full swing.

Third Master Tai was sitting on the blue bricks, smoking a cigarette pot, when he suddenly saw his old brother come back, he waved quickly.

"What happened? Why are you still going up the mountain? I got up early and came here, but I didn't see you. I asked Jizong and he refused to say more. I was really anxious."

The old man laughed and laughed. He sat next to him and said, "It's not a big deal. Zhuzhu dreamed about her grandma when she was sleeping. She couldn't stop crying. I was thinking that it would be Qingming Festival and the child's soul was unstable at such a young age. Yeah. I took her to the grave on the mountain and recited a few words, and that was fine."

Mr. Tai San had a look of surprise on his face, nodded and said, "Indeed, it is easy for children to be like this when they are young. It will be fine when they grow up."

Mr. Tai glanced at the construction site, leaned into his elder brother's ear and asked in a low voice, "Who's coming late for the work today?"

Third Master Tai thought that the brother was just thinking about how much he worked, and thought about deducting wages, but he thought it was impossible.

So, he responded hesitantly, "Er Mangzi came later, saying he got up late. But I arranged a lot of work for him yesterday, so he may be very tired."

"Mute, when did you come?" the old man asked.

This made Mr. Tai frown even more and scolded in a low voice, "What's wrong with you? The mute hasn't come yet. Why are you staring at him? He just comes to work and eat some food. No wages.”

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment and then changed his words, "Third brother, lend me your inherited wealth to do some work. My step-grandfather's wife picked a lot of wild berries and planned to make jam to give as gifts. Well. I took Ji Cai up the mountain to pick a wild beehive, I remember he smoked bee nests very well."

"That's right. Last year, this kid earned more than a tael for selling honeycombs."

After hearing his son being praised, Mr. Tai did not bother to ask further questions. He called his son over and gave it to his brother to "do around" as he pleased.

The old man didn't wait to eat, so he went into the yard and took some steamed buns, then took Tai Jicai and Tai Jizu away.

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue wanted to follow, but they were driven back by the old man.

The aggrieved mouths of the two boys could hang oil bottles, and finally Liu Dongniang stuffed two buns and healed them.

Liu Dongniang saw the boys running out to play with buns in their mouths, and then looked at the well-behaved Zhuzhu and Yongning sitting together under the eaves of the wing, eating slowly.

The fat and white bun is held in the arms of the fat girl. How cute it is!

Liu Dongniang couldn't help complaining to her busy sister-in-law, "Why didn't I give birth to a daughter? This brat is so worried!"

Yang Lihua couldn't laugh or cry when she heard it, she told about the loss of the child in the morning, and finally sighed, "Who said you don't have to worry about it, this one of our family has three times more trouble than others."

But she said so, but her subordinates carefully put the little white flowers picked by the daughter into a translucent gauze bag, ready to dry, and really stuffed them into a pillow.

Liu Dongniang covered her mouth and snickered, and finally stepped forward to help.

Tai Jizong came in from outside, and Yang Lihua called him, "Second brother, we came back from picking a lot of wild berries. I plan to make some jam and give it to Manager Min as a return gift. When you have free time, can you buy some nice ones for me? The clean porcelain jar is back?

"Wealthy families all pay attention to elegance, our things are rough, and we can only look decent if we decorate them well."

Tai Jizong immediately responded, "Okay, sister-in-law, we just don't have enough tiles. I'm going to the brick kiln again in the afternoon, where they sell porcelain bottles!"

Yang Lihua suddenly remembered about building a wooden house on the mountain, and added, "Also, my second brother bought two more jars of tung oil when he came across it. Dad wants to build a wooden house on the mountain. If we finish here at home, then we have to To start, prepare the materials first, so as not to have to arrange them when the time comes."

"Building a house on the mountain?" Tai Jizong was surprised and asked, "Father didn't tell me, he just said he was looking for wild beehives and left. I don't know why he was so anxious..."

Yang Lihua frowned, having some guesses in her heart, she quickly changed the subject.

"Father has always been short-tempered, and he doesn't want to delay anything, probably because he is afraid of delaying my making jam here. Let's talk about building the wooden house after the old man comes back. I'll get you the money first."

After dinner, when the villagers took a rest, Tai Jizong set off.

As soon as he left, the old man came back after waiting for others.

Tai Jicai looked like a victorious general, his nostrils were so high that he wished he could look up at the sky.

On his shoulders he carried a thick branch with a wild beehive on it, the size of a clay pot.

The villagers were surprised and gathered around shouting.

"Oh, what a big honeycomb!"

"Where did you pick it? But this is the old nest of wild bees!"

"Is the honey sweet? Give me a taste!"

Third Master Tai arrived in time, glanced at his son, and was relieved to see that he hadn't been stung a few times by bees.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't surround yourself, and deal with the honeycomb quickly. If there is a delay, half a bowl of honey will be enough for everyone to eat."

The villagers then smiled and got out of the way, and the honeycomb was carried into the yard.

Liu Dongniang washed her hands, quickly disposed of the honeycomb, poured out the honey, cut the beeswax into small pieces and put them in the clay basin.

Tai Jizu took it out, and everyone in the village, regardless of age, took a piece and ate it, making their mouths sweet.

When times are tough, a full meal is a luxury, and a sweet treat like this is even more rare.

Everyone is smiling because of this sweetness.

The naughty boys jumped around like monkeys because they got an extra piece.

Yang Lihua was worried that the villagers came to beg for honey, and felt sorry for her. If she didn't give it back, her relationship would be ruined, so she asked her sister-in-law to wash the pot and make jam.

Half-sour and half-sweet wild berries are added with honey. The resulting jam is brown in color, a little picky and crystal clear. It is sweet and has a fruity aroma. It is truly a supreme delicacy gifted by nature.

Zhuzhu sat at the door, staring eagerly, drooling two feet long.

Liu Dongniang filled a small bowl swiftly, asked the fat girl to take it to the side room, and secretly ate it with Yongning.
