Chapter 23

I saw the gourd walked to the front of the house expressionlessly, and thrust the knife into the ground with such force that it splashed some clods of soil along the way.

The corners of Meng Fuling's mouth twitched, she really didn't know what to say about him, but those women were too frightened to say anything, she felt relieved.

"Are you all here to help?" Gourd's cold eyes swept over them one by one like ice.

"No, no, I have something to do at home, let's go first!" The woman with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks just now laughed dryly, her body trembling.

no way!The cold air emanating from Gourd's body was too freezing, and the gleaming knife in his hand was even more terrifying.

Seeing this, the others also rubbed oil on the soles of their feet, for fear that if they ran a step slower, they would be split in half by the gourd.It's not worth it to risk your life just to earn twenty copper coins.

"Hulu, you did a good job!" Meng Fuling walked up to Hulu, patted him on the shoulder, and praised him.

"Hmph!" Calabash snorted coldly, drew out the knife, and walked into the house.

"Fu Ling, he, is he really your husband?" Li Shanhong was obviously afraid of Hulu, and only whispered when he entered the room.

Meng Fuling smiled lightly, neither admitting nor denying it, she just called Widow Qin and Min Xiangtao to her, and repeated the wages and precautions.

Widow Qin is honest and law-abiding, so Meng Fuling thinks of her first, and Min Xiangtao is a smart girl with a good character.

After the explanation, Meng Fuling went to the stove with them to get busy. There was a clear division of labor between choosing vegetables and washing rice.

Meng Fuling is going to make three dishes and one soup at noon, which are meatball soup with prickly sprouts, stewed pork with cabbage, roasted chicken nuggets with potatoes, and braised eggplant.

In the end, dozens of steamed buns were steamed, all of which were as big as a strong man's fist, white and fat, and very pleasing to look at.

When eating at noon, everyone was pleasantly surprised when they saw the dishes. The portions of each dish were very generous, especially the meatballs were made very big.

Even Team Leader Ji said with emotion that even if he worked for a rich family, the food would not be so good.

In the end, all of them ate until their stomachs were full, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

The craftsmen got such good treatment, and after eating, they didn't care about rest, so they got busy and worked even harder.

Meng Fuling approached Mr. Ji and proposed that after the house was completed, these craftsmen would help dig the lotus fields, saying that the wages would be increased by [-]%. After all, it was unreasonable to let the masons do the farm work.

She felt that there was no need to hire someone because there were ready-made people, and it was with this thought that she put all her thought into food.

Leader Ji was surprised when he heard that she was going to dig lotus root fields. Knowing that no one in this dynasty could grow lotus roots, he kindly persuaded her a few words, but seeing that she insisted on planting lotus roots, he had to agree.

"Stupid! If it succeeds, I will take your surname." Calabash was at the side, and when he heard their conversation, he poured cold water on her mercilessly.

When Hulu said this, he never thought that one day, she would hold the lotus root and smile smugly in front of him.

"Okay! I've written down this sentence." Anyone who wants to accomplish something will not be annoyed if he is repeatedly poured cold water on him.

"Your husband-in-law is also for your own good. It's really not easy to grow lotus root." Banzhu Ji persuaded Meng Fuling's 'husband and wife' because of this.

Just as Meng Fuling was about to speak, Li Shanhu ran in anxiously, "Fuling, it's not good!"

"What happened?" Meng Fuling's heart sank, thinking that something was wrong outside.
