Farming in the Mountains: Max Level Jiaojiao Is Three Years Old

362 Wealthy

Because Yu Hongyan was pregnant, she wanted to go back and help out but couldn’t. She was tasked to just help stuff some firewood in front of the stove. She slowly moved back and forth with her big belly.

Xue Da was not in a hurry to go back. He waited around to see what else needed to be completed.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were standing beside their grandfather.

With the middle beam up, the rest of the beams were easier to lift. He estimated that by today, all the beams would be installed. By tomorrow, he would only have to lay the roof with thatched grass.

He didn’t buy any tiles for this workshop. He just built a thatched roof for the time being and thought about it later.

Jiang Yue looked around the workshop and saw that it was already surrounded by a fence. They were going to build a large courtyard. With so many people, it would probably take less than two days for the walls to be completed when the roof was laid.

When it was noon, Liu Guixia shouted at the village entrance that lunch was ready. Xue Dafu immediately called Li Qingshu and the others to stop for a while and continue building after lunch.

Xue Wufu, who had just returned from grocery shopping in town, immediately hopped over to his grandfather, Xue Da, and helped him up. This was his grandfather, so of course, he had to go back for dinner!

Xue Yan saw that Xue Wufu was helping him, so he didn’t. Instead, he held Jiang Yue’s hand so that his father and the others wouldn’t worry about the little girl.

There were a lot of dishes for lunch. There was a big bowl of red braised meat, a big bowl of soup, a whole stewed chicken, a large plate of ribs, and a roasted duck that was bought from town. There were so many meat dishes and vegetarian dishes. The table was full of a little bit of everything!

This showed how happy Jiang Yue and Xue Yan’s families were about the workshop.

Li Qingshu and the others knew that there would be a lot of food today, but they didn’t expect it to be so sumptuous. They thought that even the wealthy families in this town would have to be frugal about some things.

Xue Da was the oldest, so he naturally sat at the head of the table. The old man’s mouth kept drooling at all the food when it was placed down, and he always laughed happily.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were still not at the table, but there were many dishes on the small table they were sitting at.

Anyway, there was no shortage of food and drinks at home.

Liu Guixia placed a big chicken leg in Jiang Yue’s small rice bowl. She was silent for a moment before putting the big chicken leg into Xue Yan’s rice bowl. She didn’t want to eat the chicken leg, she wanted to eat the ribs.

Today, the ribs were stir-fried with green pepper and were especially delicious.

Xue Yan understood what she wanted, so he pushed the plate of ribs closer to her so that she could reach out and grab it.

In the afternoon, Xue Sifu came back from town and was in a hurry to go up the mountain to see the workshop. He couldn’t go alone, so he called Jiang Yue and Xue Yan.

When he saw that the big and small beams were basically ready, and the three workshop houses were piled with tidied thatched grass, even if he didn’t lay the roof today, it wouldn’t take long to lay it tomorrow morning.

“Tomorrow, we can install the grain and stone mill on the roof.” Xue Sifu said to Xue yan.

“Yup.”

Xue Sifu subconsciously lowered his voice, “When I came back from town today, Doctor Shen said that he had asked the saltpeter seller to tell him when the stock was ready. He estimated that the saltpeter would be delivered to Shen’s Medical Hall the day after tomorrow. There will be a hundred and twenty kilograms ready by tomorrow. Yuxuan’s father is really amazing. How would an ordinary person ever get their hands on this much saltpeter?”

These words were naturally not only directed at Xue yan, but also to Jiang Yue.

It had been four days since he had asked Doctor Shen to help him get the saltpeter. Doctor Shen had originally estimated that it would take at least four to five days. It seemed that he was right.
