I'M THE FARMGIRL YOU CAN'T MESS WITH

Chapter 238: Construction

Editor: Atlas Studios

The Mu family’s house was finally completed in the morning. Xiuhong happily pulled Xiuhong and Bowen around the house.

There were two entrances to the house. There were five rooms at the front and five at the back. There was a courtyard in front and behind. A kitchen was built on the right side of the front courtyard, and there were two rooms on the left that were used to store food and chores.

In the backyard, Liu Ting built a cowshed and pigpen for them. This way, it would be more convenient for them to raise livestock in the future. He built them all on the left side, and Great-aunt planned to plant some vegetables on the right side.

The courtyard was huge, and Bosi and Kejia were already old enough to run all over the place. Now, as long as the door was closed, they could run around as they pleased.

Of course, as the new house was still damp, they would not be living in it for the time being. The newly built brick bed also had to be heated once a day to rid it of humidity. According to Shu Wanniang’s calculations, they should be able to live in it before the winter solstice.

Today, Mu Yangling would settle the wages for the nine people hired. As for Liu Ting and the rest, they would be given strips of pork each weighing about two catties. Each person would receive two pieces of fatty pork belly.

Liu Yuan asked gluttonously, “Ah Ling, this pork doesn’t look wild. It looks domesticated.”

Smiling, Mu Yangling said, “It’s domesticated. I carried the wild boar I caught two days ago to the city and exchanged it for a domesticated pig. The people in the city like to eat wild boar meat more.”

Liu Yuan nodded. “Domesticated pork has a higher fat content, but wild boar meat is firmer and more fragrant!”

Great-aunt brought out pots of vegetables from the kitchen with a smile. “Alright, everyone, sit down and eat. I got Ah Ling to bring back two catties of wine. Have a good drink.”

This was a joyous occasion in the village. On the day a house was completed, they had to treat the people who built it to a good meal. When they moved into the new house, they had to invite their relatives and friends to warm up the house and have a meal.

The nine people who were hired to build the house were very happy to see how generous the Mu family was. They sat down one after another. Since Mu Shi was not around, Liu Ting brought Liu Yuan to entertain the guests on his behalf.

Including those from the Liu clan, there were a total of twenty-one people. Two tables were filled in the courtyard.
