After rebirth, she just wants to farm

Chapter 20 Repair the house
"Our chicken coop is still empty, and with the remaining money we can buy some chicks to raise."

Raising chickens and ducks is as important as farming in rural areas. The whole family's life depends on these improvements, and eggs are indispensable nutrients.

It is the time when the two children are growing up, so nutrition cannot be neglected.

"Buy another little pig and I'll make sure it's fat and white." Lu Qinan's eyes were full of yearning.

She used to feed the pigs raised by my grandma, but in the end, she couldn't eat a piece of meat.

Now she can finally raise pigs by herself, and she feels happy just thinking about it.

Wang agreed immediately.

After arranging everything, Meng Qingning came to the kitchen, cleaned the suet she bought, and started boiling lard.

This lard is a good thing.

Unfortunately, there was too little. It only took a bowl of lard to cook out the whole piece of suet. She regretted it. She would have bought more if she had known better.

"Sister-in-law, this lard is too fragrant. I'm hungry again." Lu Qinan, who was lighting the fire, couldn't help but swallowed his saliva as the smell of meat filled the room.

"Look at your potential." Meng Qingning smiled and fed a piece of oil residue into her mouth, "Sister-in-law will bake a lard box for you tomorrow."

She couldn't help but swallow when she thought of the delicious lard box.

"Lard box?" Lu Qinan smiled from ear to ear when he heard that it was another delicacy he had never tasted before.

Since Meng Qingning fell ill last time, she has been sleeping with Lu Qinan so that everyone can sleep more comfortably.

Early in the morning, Lu Zhengting invited several people to help, including uncles from the Liu family and a cousin from the Lu family.

The Liu family has an ox cart, which makes transporting materials more convenient.

They planned to lift off the roof and build a new one so that it would not leak. In order to facilitate repairs, they put the things in the house in the yard in advance. Fortunately, there was little furniture and it would not be difficult to move.

Lu Qinan and Lu Qiyu were helping deliver materials to the adults, while Wang and Meng Qingning were making food for everyone in the kitchen.

If you hire someone to help, the food will naturally be better.

Meng Qingning added some white flour to the multigrain noodles, mixed them and divided them into dough pieces of the same size, and took out the lard she had refined last night.

Add lard and chopped green onion to the dough and dry it out one after another.

Not long after, a fragrant lard box came out of the pot, and Lu Qiyu ran over smelling the aroma.

"Mom, what is in this pot? Why does it smell so good?"

"Little glutton!" Wang said angrily.

Meng Qingning handed the first pancake to Lu Qiyu and took another one for Wang.

"This is called a lard box."

After Lu Qiyu took the pancake, it was so hot that he almost dropped it on the ground. After holding it firmly, he took a bite without caring whether it was hot or not. The aroma instantly awakened his taste buds.

He swallowed the pancake wholeheartedly.

After eating, he said, "It's too hot." His little hands couldn't help but take out a pancake in the basin, "I'll get one for my sister."

Mrs. Wang also finished a lard box and praised, "Ning'er, you still have a way. This pancake is even more delicious than the meat pie."

She never thought that multigrain noodles could be so delicious.

The pancake is filled with the aroma of meat and at the same time the aroma of onions. The combination of the two flavors is so delicious that people want to lick their fingers.

She couldn't help but want to eat more.

Meng Qingning directly cooked a large pot.

After the pancakes were baked, he took out the pork belly that he had specially saved yesterday and fried a large pot of pork belly, cabbage, radish, and tofu.

Although they are all simple ingredients, they have a unique taste thanks to Meng Qingning's processing.At this time, the first roof was almost completed. Wang went to call everyone to come for dinner, and everyone could smell the fragrance from a distance.

Uncle Liu couldn't help but ask, "Brothers and sisters, what delicious food did you make? Why does it smell so good?"

In fact, they had smelled the fragrance on the roof just now, but they were too embarrassed to ask, so they finally couldn't help but ask.

"There's nothing delicious at home, so I just made a simple pancake. I hope everyone won't dislike it," Wang said modestly.

At first, Uncle Liu thought that the second wife of the Lu family had just been separated and would be in short supply of food.

In rural areas, if someone breaks ground to repair their house, the surrounding neighbors will come to help. But today, the news that the second house was being repaired has already spread, but only one or two people came to help.

It is precisely because many people feel that the second wife has been kicked out by the Lu family. One has no land, the other has no house. The most reliable eldest son is no longer there. Even if he sets up a stall, he will be like a grasshopper after autumn. It won't last more than a few days.

But he felt that those people were wrong.

Mrs. Wang brought over a basin of pancakes and placed it on the table, and then brought over two plates of food.

It looks unremarkable.

After they took a bite, they were completely impressed by the taste of the food.

"What is this pancake made of?"

"Lard is added to it." Meng Qingning took over.

She grew up in a rural area, so how could she not understand the people in the village?

It’s not easy for these people to come and help.

"Uncles, eat more." He said half-jokingly, "But don't leave any leftovers for us."

Everyone was also amused by her frankness, "Daughter-in-law praying for good harvest, don't worry, we will definitely eat with open stomachs."

"Where's mine?" Lu Qiyu quietly pulled Meng Qingning's arm. The pancake just now brought out all the gluttons in his stomach.

I didn't feel hungry at first, but now I felt hungry, my chest pressed against my back.

Meng Qingning scratched his nose and said dotingly, "Yours is in the kitchen."

After eating, everyone speeded up significantly. It only took one day to repair the roof of a house.

More than half of the courtyard wall was built, and the stones used to build the courtyard wall were all saved by Lu Zhengting.

Everything was going in a good direction, but something happened the next day that caught them off guard.

I don’t know who told me about the food for the second room in the village. The next day, people who came to help crowded the yard.

They all wanted to try the lard box, and I heard that they also prepared meat for the people who helped.

Some even brought their own children.

Lu Qinan was anxious and angry, "Aren't they being rogue?"

At this time, Aunt Liu came over. She had a grudge and went to the second house because of the last time she set up a stall, but she didn't take advantage of it.

Didn't this directly bring the whole family here?

"Brothers and sisters, please don't be polite to us. If you can do anything for us, just do it." She said without blushing or heartbeat.

Wang, "..."

What a bunch of kids can do.

But they are the guests who come to the door, and it is not easy for them to drive them away.

Looking at the team of nearly twenty people, the family was full of sorrow. Even if they took out all the food, it was not enough to feed these people.
