Chapter 791 Drunk
Lu Qingqing stepped forward, took the big package from Old Man Zhuang's hand, and told him what had just happened.
While listening to her, Old Man Zhuang went to the carriage, picked up two smaller bags, and followed her into the house.
When he heard that both the blue bricks and adobe bricks had been bought, he couldn't help but smile, and the fatigue on his face disappeared a little.
"Great! If the materials are delivered tomorrow, we'll have to go hire someone tomorrow morning.
Invite the fireman over, and in a few days, the west room will be habitable!"
When Qin Lang heard this, he looked at Lu Qingqing quietly.
Unfortunately, she was now putting something on the ground with her back to him.
Looking over, one could only see some loose hair sticking out from under the thick hat.
Even so, it did not affect his good mood.
Once the kang is set up, he can sleep on the same kang with Qingqing!
Just thinking about it makes my heart beat faster.
The road to chasing my wife is getting closer!
Lu Qingqing didn't know that he was thinking so much. She put down the big bag in her hand and got up to go outside to move things.
It took them a while to move the huge pile of things on the three carriages.
I felt better after moving my shoulders, neck and waist.
After the carriage was empty, Lu Qingqing took a broom and swept it clean.
Sun Yue went into the house to get a basin of warm water and a piece of cloth, preparing to wipe the inside of the car thoroughly.
It is very likely that these carriages will not be used for the next few months.
Clean it before putting it away to prevent it from getting dirty next time you use it.
At this time, snowflakes began to fall from the sky again.
I saw the horses huddled together, with large flakes of snow falling on their bodies.
Lu Qingqing put down the broom and called Qin Lang to go into the house and bring out the oilcloth.
She, Qin Lang and Old Man Zhuang were preparing to build a snow shed.
This snow shelter will be used until the stable is built.
Therefore, the location was chosen to be the northwest corner of the yard, which would not hinder the construction of a stable.
After parking the three carriages, the three men began to fix the tarpaulin on the roof of the carriages.
After the two pieces of tarpaulin were crossed and fixed, two sheds were built between the two carriages.
Seeing that the shed in the middle was set up, the three of them took another piece of oilcloth and extended it from the top of the carriage to both sides.
The extended oilcloth is tied to a stick and fixed.
In this way, two smaller sheds were built on both sides of the carriage.
At this point, the horse's simple windshield has been set up.
Xiaobai and the first brown horse were already very familiar with the windshield.
Now they have set up the tent and are about to head into it.
Seeing that the reins on them were all pulled straight, Lu Qingqing hurried forward to untie them.
Xiaobai felt free and walked straight towards the larger shed in the middle.
The tan horse followed closely behind and also entered the shed.
With these two horses leading the way, the rest of the horses also looked towards the shed.
This was the scene that Sun Yue saw when she came out after finishing her work.
The four of them brushed off the snow on their bodies and began to untie the ropes one by one.
After leading the horses in and tying the ropes, they brought in the food, fodder and water basins.
By the time the carriage stopped, the water in the basin had frozen into a block of ice.
If a horse wants to drink water, it can only lick the ice.
Seeing this, Sun Yue scooped some boiled hot water from the pot.
Add some hot water to several basins to melt the ice.
After finishing the rain shelter for the horses, Lu Qingqing planned to go next door to talk to Uncle Sun.
Tomorrow morning, they will go to Gouzi Village to hire people.
In addition, you also have to ask about the situation of finding someone.
After she left, Sun Yue and Old Man Zhuang went into the house to start cooking.
Qin Lang took the snow shovel and continued to shovel the snow.
At this time, the part of the yard near the house has been cleaned up.
Only near the west wall and the south wall there is a small area that has not been processed.
Qin Lang was thinking about building a livestock shed at the west wall tomorrow, and maybe putting up a ladder outside.
So he planned to clean up these two areas in the yard and then clear the snow outside the west wall.
Pushing the snow shovel, he shoveled the snow out with great effort.
The four of them worked together for an hour and finally finished their work. They sat down and started to eat.
To celebrate arriving safely in Fushan Town, Old Man Zhuang showed off his cooking skills tonight and prepared a sumptuous dinner.
The shabby kang table was already full.
An oil lamp was placed on the edge of the kang table, illuminating the dark room.
There were six plates on the table, the most eye-catching of which was the roasted horse leg.
This horse leg was picked up by Old Man Zhuang during the war.
At this moment, the horse leg was sizzling with oil and steaming.
It is covered with a layer of crispy dried meat and topped with Mr. Zhuang’s secret sauce.
In addition, there are smoked pork leg slices fried with dried tofu, horse ribs stewed with potatoes, stir-fried shredded potatoes, and fried meatballs on the table.
Finally, there was a plate of noodles with hot, soft steamed buns underneath.
On top are the cornmeal pancakes that are stuck to the edge of the pot when stewing potatoes and pork ribs.
The four of them washed their hands and feet and sat cross-legged on the kang.
The kang has been heated for so long while being used for cooking that it has become a little hot.
Old Man Zhuang brought over a wine jar from the kang, held it in front of him, and said with a smile:
"We've been on the run for so long, and we've finally stopped.
Moreover, Xiao Lang finally woke up, which was a double blessing!
We are happy today, let’s drink some wine and have fun.
This wine is genuine tiger bone wine. I just put it in the pot to warm it up!
We slept in the open air on the road and were all a little cold.
Drinking this wine is good for your health."
After hearing what Old Man Zhuang said, the three of them also took an empty bowl and waited for the wine to be poured.
Lu Qingqing looked at the half-full bowl of wine and was about to pick it up to taste it when she was stopped by Old Man Zhuang.
"Qing girl, eat some food first and then drink.
This tiger bone wine is good, but it is very strong and it is easy to get drunk.
You've never drunk alcohol before, so you should eat something first."
Next to him, Qin Lang also stopped holding the bowl.
Well, a certain eight-foot-tall strong man actually never touched a drop of alcohol.
In the past, Grandpa Qin didn’t drink at home, and Grandma Qin didn’t drink either.
When he went out to a banquet, people would not give him wine because they saw that he was mentally handicapped.
This led to Qin Lang, who had seen Qingqing drinking beer in modern times, becoming very curious about alcohol.
At this time, Old Man Zhuang had already taken a dagger and started cutting the roasted horse legs.
The roasted pieces of horse meat were still steaming when they were cut off.
The four of them smelled the aroma of the meat and swallowed silently.
The meat-cutting process, which took only a few minutes, made them feel like they had been waiting for several hours in agony.
After it was cut, each person grabbed a large piece of horse meat and ate it with raw garlic.
I have to say that I ate steamed buns for a long time while fleeing the famine.
The taste of eating barbecue and fresh meals is really different nowadays.
After they had eaten their fill, they put down their chopsticks.
Old Man Zhuang picked up the bowl and took a sip of tiger bone wine.
This wine is clear and smooth on the palate, but becomes spicy only when swallowed.
The wine flowed down my throat and into my stomach, bringing with it a burning sensation.
But after the spiciness, there is a sweet aftertaste.
The other three watched him take a sip of wine, smack his lips, and let out a "ha" sound.
I knew this wine was definitely spicy enough.
But they were on the run for so long that their spirits were always tense.
It's a rare opportunity to settle down and everyone has decided to relax.
Sun Yue picked up the wine bowl first. When the tip of her tongue touched the wine, her face wrinkled from the spiciness.
It's not like she hadn't drunk alcohol in Lanfang Pavilion before.
But at that time, drinking was more of a fun thing.
They all drank fruit wine with very low alcohol content, and the emphasis was on creating a slightly tipsy atmosphere.
And the wine I am drinking now is real strong liquor.
Perhaps it was the experiences during this period that changed her personality.
This time, he seemed to be refusing to admit defeat and took another big sip.
Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang, who were standing next to them, also felt the spiciness when they took their first sip of tiger bone wine.
He picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and took a moment to finish his drink.
Old man Zhuang held the wine bowl and savored it slowly, sip by sip.
After taking a sip, he looked at the three people gasping for breath due to the spiciness and couldn't help but chuckle.
This meal, thanks to the wine, lasted more than half an hour.
By the end, Lu Qingqing was already very drunk.
She held the jar of wine and insisted that Old Man Zhuang pour her another bowl.
