My 1978 Hotel

Chapter 63: Great Strength, Time to Eat Meat and Bones, The Heroine is Online
"Take it quickly."

After stuffing two steamed buns with chicken, the two children, who had never seen such delicious food before, were drooling and ate with big mouthfuls. "If it's not enough, come and get more."

"Go home quickly."

My sister-in-law's face turned red when I shouted, "Why did you take so much of it when it was so delicious?"

"Sister-in-law, it's just a few steamed buns."

Li Feng waved his hand and said with a nonchalant smile, "Eat quickly. If you're not satisfied, come back for more. Daya will call the two younger brothers."

"Come on, Anton, Anchun, eat."

Not to mention Li Feng's recent improvement in cooking skills, and the addition of a lot of seasoning, technology and hard work are delicious, no one can deny this. Not to mention the two children in my sister-in-law's family, Han Anton and Han Anchun, who shouted that my sister-in-law had never eaten such delicious food in her life.

It can't even be compared to the real Chinese New Year, what great cooking skills. The three of them thought that they made a lot of money working for Li Feng's house. They could eat such delicious food, and it tasted so good. Who wouldn't want to work for such a host?

"Oh, let's eat it now."

"Uncle Tomita is here, please sit down, please sit down."

Li Feng looked up and saw that it was Han Futian, and he quickly stood up and greeted him. "Daya, go get a pair of bowls and chopsticks. Uncle Futian, you haven't eaten yet, right? Let's eat something together."

"Eat, eat."

Han Futian took a look and thought, "Boy, this is a really rich meal with chicken, meat, and fish. It's the New Year's Eve, but you're really reluctant to skip it." "Let me tell you, they're going to dig up some soil for the paddy field down the slope. You can go and bring back some soil when you're making bricks."

"That's good."

Li Feng said, "The soil from the paddy fields is the best for making adobe bricks."

"Thank you, Uncle Tomita. This saves me a lot of trouble."

"If you want to thank me, go thank Third Brother. Third Brother asked me to tell you."

"Uncle Fuguo, I definitely have to thank you. I'll see if I can get a few kilograms of wine tickets and buy some good wine to thank you, Uncle Fuguo." Li Feng's words made Han Futian laugh and cry. "Don't, or Third Brother will definitely kick you out."

"Yeah, Third Uncle can't stand other people giving him gifts." Han Anchun agreed naively while chewing on a steamed bun made of two-grain flour.

"What gift? This is a token of my appreciation. How can you call it a gift?"

Li Feng disagreed. "Right, Uncle Tomita, then I'll have to ask you to come over and have a drink with me." If sending wine doesn't work, inviting him to drink is just as good. He still has the ability to think this through.

"Good boy."

Han Futian didn't know what to say. Should he say he was quick-witted or that he was a master of the franchise? But everyone was happy to hear this. "Let's talk about drinking later. Let's fix the house first. Then my third brother and I can rest assured."

"Uncle Futian, don't worry. The helpers you found are all capable and good at work. If this house is not repaired, you can beat me up and I won't say anything." Li Feng patted his chest and promised to repair his own house.

"I feel relieved when you say that."

Han Futian patted his butt, stood up and took a look at the chicken in the big bowl. The chicken was really fragrant. This kid is really good at eating. I have never seen anyone cook so well elsewhere. He has really figured out the art of eating.

"Uncle Tomita is already here, there's no reason for him to leave. Come and eat some food."

Li Feng pulled Han Futian to sit down and took the bowl and chopsticks that Daya handed over. "No wine tonight. Wait until the house is cleaned up, then we'll treat everyone to a drink."

"Hey, hey, I just ate..."

"Then have some food. Uncle Tomita, don't be polite now that you're here."

After saying that, he put a piece of chicken into Han Futian's bowl. Han Futian had no choice but to put it into his bowl. It would be bad if he didn't eat it, as it would be a waste of other people's kindness. "Then I'll have two bites. This is what happened."

Li Feng didn't forget to treat the other three. There was a lot of chicken. Da Ya and Er Ya each got half a bowl. Even the two little kids who kept calling "sister-in-law" each ate at least three pieces of chicken. This meal was not only very comfortable, but also very tiring to work in the afternoon.

"Anton, take a break, I'll try."

Li Feng had no one to work with when hauling mud, so he shouted to his sister-in-law that the three of them had already hauled enough mud. They were really fast, and in a short time, the three of them hauled back more than ten carts of rice paddy mud. Li Feng only had to carry less than ten loads of borrowed wood ash.

Fortunately, pulling the cart is not a big task. It is just a way to accumulate strength for making earthen bricks later.

Not to mention that there are some things to pay attention to when making earthen bricks. First, the mud must be selected carefully. It is best if the mud is stickier, softer, and has fewer impurities. Second, the mud needs wood ash, straw crumbs, and a small amount of fine sand. The mud must be cooked and no raw materials can be added. It is a bit like kneading dough. Li Feng, An Dun, An Chun, and his sister-in-law worked for more than an hour.

Only then was everything mixed and we began to make bricks. This step seemed as simple as putting the bricks into the mold, but in fact, it still needed to be hammered, cut flat, and poured, and no single step could be missed.

Li Feng put a lot of effort into learning and tried his best to complete the task.

"Row."

Seeing that Li Feng was learning very seriously, An Dun gave him a demonstration. Although it looked simple, it was not easy to do. He made mistakes when pouring the bricks several times, causing them to be crooked. Fortunately, with An Dun's help, he learned it well little by little.

"I'm so exhausted."

Although Li Feng didn't accompany the three of them throughout the entire process, he was still exhausted. After work, the three of them went home, and Li Feng lay on the bed and enjoyed a double massage from Daya and Erya. "Be gentle, bricklaying is really not easy."

No wonder it was so physically demanding. Building a rammed earth wall was even harder. He yelled to his sister-in-law, "It's really not easy for them to earn eighty cents a day." Little did Li Feng know, the story of his family hiring a repairman for eighty cents a day, plus a free lunch, had spread.

Especially the two kids from my sister-in-law's family, who have been following their little playmate Pian all afternoon. They had delicious chicken for lunch and got some milk candy from Uncle Li Feng, which really made their friends envious.

Everyone went home to find their parents and asked them to help Uncle Li Feng repair the house. But don’t even think about how many of them actually found Han Fuguo.

"Uncle Fuguo, why don't you think of my family when you have such a good thing?"

When Wu Gou heard that it was only 80 cents a day, he didn't care about anything else and rushed to find Han Fuguo. But before Han Fuguo could say anything, Han Anmin said bluntly, "I'm looking for you. You're slacking off at work. What's wrong? You don't know your own weight and weight. The whole team is working outside, and I dare not send you. It's embarrassing." "Brother Anmin, how can you talk like that? What's wrong with my work? I'm no worse than anyone else."

"How kind of you."

Han Anmin spat at Wu Gou directly. Seeing that Han Anmin was angry, Wu Gou dared not keep him any longer. He walked out of the yard with a snort of dissatisfaction. When the other people saw him, they looked at each other.

"Anmin, if five dogs can't do it, we can't be any worse than settling them down."

"Yeah, it's only 80 cents. I'm your uncle." Han Anren didn't dare to say anything to Han Fuguo, so he could only complain to Han Anmin and steal a glance at Han Fuguo. "Even if we don't talk about the money, at least you can get some chicken for your nephew to try."

"okay."

Han Fuguo slammed the table. "The appointment has already been made. What's the point of saying this? Can you still go instead?"

"No, uncle, let's just talk about it."

Seeing Han Fuguo's outburst, no one else dared to say anything, but just left the yard reluctantly.

"This bastard boy."

Han Fuguo was really helpless. You say, just work and you just pay, and you also provide meals. It would be fine if you only provided meals, but listen, there is chicken, fish, and even lard. This meal is enough for a blind date.

He didn't want to offend anyone, but this also caused a few people to talk about him, and as the team leader, he was bound to be complained about behind his back. "What did this bastard say?"

"It's said that on the first day of work, we must eat something good."

Han Anmin said with a smile. "He also said that we can only eat one dish from now on, and at most add a pickle, which will definitely not exceed the limit."

"I understand."

Why can't he find less trouble for himself? Han Fuguo was so angry that he really wanted to beat this guy up.

Li Feng had no idea that his work meal had caused a big uproar. He got up at four or five the next day and went to the commune before dawn to buy some meat bones. There was no vegetable at home, so he could only make do with some meat bones.

Master Guo actually gave him a pack of cigarettes out of courtesy and then cut him three and a half pounds of bones, meat, and skin. Li Feng happily gave him two yuan and a handful of candy. "Master Guo, these are some White Rabbit candies that a relative brought back. Take them home for the kids to try."

"How embarrassing is this?"

"Thank you then."

"You are so kind. I have much to thank you for."

After leaving the meat stall, Li Feng stuffed the meat bones into a cloth bag and walked towards the breakfast stall. He had some food coupons in his pocket, and he planned to buy some meat buns for Daya and Erya.

"Li Feng?"

Wu Xiaofeng thought he had seen it wrong.

"Comrade Xiaofeng."

Li Feng thought to himself that this was too much of a coincidence, as he had bumped into her several times. But who was this girl next to him? She was quite pretty.

"It's really you. I said I'd come back to find you."

"What's the matter?"

Li Feng was puzzled. After Wu Xiaofeng had mixed some vanishing cream and soap on herself and used them, her colleagues thought it was good and asked her to help see if she could give some to them.

"Ouch, how did you do this?"

Li Feng said, "There's still some vanishing cream and shampoo left, but there's only one and a half bars of soap left."

"That's it."

"We'll take as much as we can."

"Okay, as for the price, it's up to you. I don't know much about it, but food coupons and non-staple foods are best," Li Feng said. "But let's make a deal, I can't take the money. Otherwise, people might accuse me of speculation. I'd rather let the things go bad and rot."

"What nonsense is that?"

Wu Xiaofeng laughed and said, "That's not true. How can you speculate and then lose money?"

"Right, Shengnan."

Wu Shengnan looked at Li Feng for a few times, her eyes a little scrutinizing. Li Feng wondered what was wrong with this girl. There was something wrong with her eyes. "Maybe, Comrade Li Feng, right? I heard Xiaofeng say you have a lot of stuff on hand. Did you give a lot away?"

"Not much. My relatives gave me some, but I don't need them. It's a waste for a farmer like me to eat all the food we need in the city," Li Feng said. "It would be good to exchange some for food."

"Really."

Wu Shengnan's eyes were still a little scrutinizing. The skirt sold by the recent speculation gang was somewhat similar to the one worn by her cousin Wu Xiaofeng. This skirt came from the man in front of her, but it was not expensive. Moreover, although this man was fair, he did not look like the four speculation gang members described.

This made her undecided. She had just heard what Li Feng said. Snow cream and the like could only be exchanged for food coupons and non-staple food coupons. Not only was the price not high, but it was also free. This made her even more puzzled. This person was a bit weird.

"Shengnan, you don't suspect that Li Feng is engaging in speculation and profiteering. How can that be possible? Not only are the things so cheap, they are also free. If that's the case, I would like to see more speculators like him." Wu Xiaofeng works in the post and telecommunications industry. He likes new things and has different ideas from Wu Shengnan.

"You've been in the police force for so long, why do you suspect everyone you meet?"

Public Security, Li Feng's heart skipped a beat. Oh my god, no wonder they look so weird. Damn, they won't come to investigate me, will they?
