After setting up the table, the two of them looked at the dishes on the table and drooled. They had been here for half a month but had not had a good meal.
Zhou Ying took out a bottle of red wine and said, “Come on, Rui. Let’s celebrate our new life today.”
“Of course. Oh, right, take out the eight crab legs for me. I’m going to clean up the crab remains.”
“Then I’ll eat the ready-made ones.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she took out the crab’s eight legs and handed them to him. Then, she found a bottle opener and popped the red wine open.
Then, she took out a decanter and two wine glasses.
After they were done, the two clinked their glasses with a smile, picked up their chopsticks, and ate eagerly.
After the meal, both of them were so full that Zhou Ying felt dizzy. She was too lazy to wash the dishes, so she simply put them into her interspace.
Then, she thought of Er Zhuang’s fierce look when he barked at their guests. She turned to Gu Chengrui and said, “Rui, tie Er Zhuang up during the day in case someone comes over. Don’t let him bite someone.”
“This is indeed a problem. Later, I’ll wedge a stake in the woodshed and let him guard the woodshed during the day. I’ll let him free at night to watch our house.”
After chatting for a while, Zhou Ying got up and made a pot of black tea to drink. After their feelings of food coma subsided, the two started working on separate things.
The following day, after sending the bean sprouts to Hongyun Restaurant, Gu Chengrui bought another batch of seven small water tanks. Their supply of bean sprouts could not meet the demand of Manager Liu, who had requested to double the amount.
After Zhou Ying used an electric drill to drill holes in the water tank, she looked at the row of full water tanks. She turned to Gu Chengrui and said, “Rui, we must dig up a ditch. Otherwise, moving so many water tanks back and forth every day is very tiring.
“Also, if we flush the water outside when it gets cold, the bean sprouts will probably freeze.”
“You’re right. But it’s too troublesome to build a ditch. Why don’t we make a small pond and build a pipe to let the water flow out? It’ll also be more convenient to wash vegetables in the future.” Gu Chengrui turned around and walked out after he finished speaking.
“Build a pond?”
“Yes, I remember we have a glue-like material in the interspace that can replace cement.”
Zhou Ying nodded and began to pick beans to soak.
Gu Chengrui took the opportunity to go to Qian Jiaxing’s house. After confirming that he did not have a fever last night, he reminded them of a few things to take note of and did not pay any more attention to him.
After returning, he went to the mountain with Zhou Ying and brought back a few stone slabs. They quickly built a platform that was only half a meter high.
He also used thick bamboo as a water pipe, which led directly to the sewer in the courtyard.
The next morning, the two used it when they rewashed the bean sprouts. It was quite convenient, and they didn’t even need to carry more water to wash their vegetables.
Following that, as Gu Chengrui mended Qian Jiaxing’s leg, more and more people came to see him for their illnesses.
Zhou Ying also finished making four sets of clothes for them.
One day, Zhou Ying saw the sun shining brightly outside, so she went up the mountain to chop some firewood.
After all, the fire must not be put out with the bean sprouts around, or it would be troublesome if they froze.
She didn’t expect to see Sister Tian walking out with a basket as soon as she went out. Zhou Ying was amazed and asked, “Sister Tian, are you going out?”
“That’s right. I heard that Sister Hua has hatched a new batch of chicks, so I’m planning to take two of them. Sister Zhou, do you want some?” Sister Tian turned her head and offered.
“It’s fine. I’ve never raised one before, so I’m afraid I can’t keep it alive. Let’s wait until spring when it’s easier.” Zhou Ying smiled and shook her head.
“That’s true. I’ll go over then. We’ll talk later.” After Sister Tian said that, she left in a hurry.
As for Zhou Ying, she rushed up the mountain.
