Chapter 505 Moving
Because there were so many people that night, everyone sat together in the yard and cooked clay pot chicken in a large iron pot in the yard.
So many people ate three chickens, and five pots of cornmeal pancakes were also ordered.
With the side dishes and hot pot dishes in the clay pot chicken, everyone was very satisfied with the meal.
After finishing his dinner, the Taoist priest held his stomach and said, "Food tastes better when there are more people. I ate too much without realizing it."
Grandpa Zhao rolled his eyes at the Taoist priest and said with disdain, "I told you not to eat too much at night, but you can't stop me. If you feel stomach discomfort later, don't come to me."
Xu Han smiled and said, "Everyone has eaten too much tonight. Dan Niang, go make a pot of hawthorn tea for everyone.
When you go back later, take a pot with you and drink some hawthorn tea to help digestion."
Dan Niang replied, "Okay, Madam, I'll go cook it right away."
Grandpa Zhao also reminded, "Don't go to bed right away when you get home at night. Overeating will hurt your stomach. Wait a while before going to bed."
Everyone responded in unison, and after Dan Niang cooked the hawthorn water, they went back to the valley together.
Today is the first time that everyone sleeps separately. From now on, everyone has his or her own room. Although it is not private, at least we don’t have to squeeze together in a large group.
Everyone is very satisfied with the current room arrangement. The couple and their young children sleep in a separate room.
The rest of the men and women were allocated rooms according to their numbers. There were ten rooms, and except for three couples who had one room each, the other people had four people in one room.
Liu Erzhu, Liu Sanzhu, Li Si, and Wang Lin lived in one room; Zhu Chuntian, Han Qi, and Zhang Yi lived in another room; Zhu Chunmei, Zhu Chunchan, Qi Yu, and Dan Niang lived in another room; Ma Pozi and Zhao Pozi lived alone in a room.
So many people used seven rooms in total, and three were left unused. The warehouse had not been built yet, so it was temporarily used as a warehouse.
If I buy more servants later, I can use the remaining three rooms. If I don't buy them, I can use them as warehouses, so they won't be idle.
Because the original intention was to use them as dormitories, each house here was built much larger than a normal house. The space inside the room seems very large, and there is more than enough room for four people to live in.
At present, there is nothing in the room except a large kang, which makes it look a little empty.
After you live there for a while, you can slowly add some furniture to it and it will be a little better.
But it’s too late to make furniture now, so I can only wait and buy it later.
In the afternoon, they had packed up all their things, and now they were back in the valley, going back to their rooms.
That night, Han Qi lay on his own kang, feeling very satisfied. For a moment, he actually had a sense of belonging.
I never dared to imagine that one day I would live such a good life, no longer having to be beaten or scolded, and not only having enough food to eat, but also having new clothes to wear. The life I am living now is something I could never have imagined before.
I thought to myself, "It's great. If it weren't for the master and the mistress who bought me back, I would have clothes to wear, a house to live in, and enough food to eat. I can't imagine what kind of life I would be living now if it weren't for them. I don't even know whether I am dead or alive.
If nothing else, even for the sake of my current life, I will do my best to serve the Master and Madam in the future."
Others had almost the same idea. They thought that after returning with the lady, they would definitely not have to work day and night in the deep mountains. However, they did not expect it to be the exact opposite.
The master did not treat them harshly. Although they could work, they were servants. How could they not do any work? So why did the master buy them back?
Moreover, they do not have to work non-stop now. When the temperature is too high, the owner will take the initiative to let them rest. Not only that, they will also give them meat to eat, make them full, and make new clothes for them. Now, they have even built blue brick and tile houses for them.
If it was before, I would never have dared to think about it. Since coming here, every day is like a dream, every day is a good day.
They are all people who have suffered a lot. Such a life is like a fairy tale to them. How can they not cherish the present life!
Everyone thought in their hearts that they must work hard in the future to live up to everything the master had given them and not let the master and mistress down.
Of course, Xu Han and Lu Chuan didn’t know this.
After the servants went back, the Taoist priest closed the gate of the courtyard, and the family continued to sit in the courtyard to enjoy the cool and chat, until late at night when they dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest.
The next day, Lu Chuan got up early in the morning and took them to continue building the kitchen for eating. The reason was that the others had no experience in this area. During the construction of the house, Zhang Yi was very eager to learn, but he was not proficient in building a stove.
Zhu Qiang, who is a little older, does know a little bit about it, but what he built is completely different from what Lu Chuan built.
Zhu Qiang can only make a very simple one, while Lu Chuan's is much more refined.
When Zhang Yi saw that Lu Chuan was going to teach how to build a stove, he ran over first and waited for Lu Chuan to start teaching with an eager look on his face.
Zhu Qiang called all three sons to Lu Chuan and told them, "You guys should learn well. If there is such a thing in the future, you will have to do it. You can't let the master do it every time."
Lu Chuan did not refute after hearing this. This was indeed the fact. After all, he was their master. He was giving orders now because they didn't know how to do it. He couldn't always give orders in the future. What was the use of them if that happened?
Even if Zhu Qiang didn't say it himself, Lu Chuan would have asked them to come and learn, and all these tasks would be left to them in the future.
Just ignore it slowly and learn to distance yourself from it. Of course, if there is something they don’t know, you can ask them.
As Lu Chuan laid the foundation, he taught, "Building these things is very simple. As long as you study hard, you can learn it in one go. What you built before were all simple. This is more refined than what you have done. As long as you are more careful when building it, it will be fine."
As they were talking, Li Lin and the others also gathered around. It was obvious that everyone was eager to learn. It was funny, with such a good opportunity for the host to teach personally, who wouldn't want to learn.
Apart from anything else, the skills you learn are yours, so you won’t lose out!
When Lu Chuan saw them coming, he didn't say anything and continued to explain. However, he was still quite satisfied in his heart. After spending such a long time together, Lu Chuan also discovered that these people he bought were all quite good. If nothing else, at least they were kind-hearted and not troublesome.
