Because the original owner was beautiful, she looked even better when she smiled. Especially when the eyes are crooked, so Qin Fang can't move his eyes away.
He couldn't help but said, "Okay."
With his background, there are no rules in the family. Besides... His eyes moved to Yang Haiyan's hands.
Her beautiful hands were used for writing, embroidery, soap making, the rough jobs…Of course it's up to him.
Yang Haiyan: "Is it really possible? Is the husband willing to wash the dishes? But wouldn't it be bad to let people know? Generally, it's the wife who washes the dishes."
Qin Fang: "Your hands are precious, you can read and write, you can make soap and you can make clothes..."
It's like a scholar's hand and he is afraid that she will blame him, he continued, "And... my father also washing dishes at home." Dad, forgive him for lying.
Upon hearing this, Yang Haiyan said, "Xiang Gong, you are so kind." After speaking, she waved to him, "You bend over."
Qin Fang was puzzled and bowed obediently.
Then, Yang Haiyan kissed him on the face: "Thank you, Xianggong." After the kiss, she pretended to be shy and escaped from the kitchen.
Qin Fang was left in a daze for a while and when he came back to his senses, he didn't forget to touch his face and then smiled silently.
He smiled, his originally grim face warmed.
In fact, Yang Haiyan, who ran out of the kitchen, also had a fast heartbeat and it was the first time she had kissed the opposite sex. In her heart, the twenty-year-old Qin Fang was like a puppy. Speaking of which, she felt a little embarrassed for teasing him like this. However, seeing how nervous he was, it was quite funny.
Yang Haiyan went to the storage room and used a spoon to scoop out a spoonful of lye. In addition to being used to make soap, lye also has one of the biggest uses, which can be used as detergent to wash dishes. Lye can be made into soap because of its cleaning effect.
When Yang Haiyan returned to the kitchen, she saw that Qin Fang had cleaned up the table and was about to wash the dishes. She said, "Xianggong , pour some of this lye into the dishes. This can wash away oil stains and make the dishes very clean."
When Qin Fang heard her voice, his heartbeat subconsciously accelerated and he had a serious look on his face: "Okay."
When Qin Fang was washing the dishes, Yang Haiyan went to the kitchen to paint two pictures and when she came out, Qin Fang washed the dishes. Yang Haiyan pulled him and said: "Xianggong, look at this, this is the sink, it is built next to the stove, this is the place where you will wash after you eat and put all the tableware and chopsticks in here, it is easier to wash.Then this is earth kiln ,the kiln oven is built in this corner."
Speaking of this earth kiln oven, Yang Haiyan saw it in a farmhouse when she was traveling in the Northeast. It can bake bread, bake handmade cakes, roast duck and roast chicken. . Yang Haiyan found it interesting and after returning home, she asked the village master Jianzao to help her make one too.
Qin Fang listened, he is a farmer's child because he is used to doing rough work, so after hearing Yang Haiyan say this kind of water tank and earth kiln oven and looking at the drawings, he will understand: "I'll go get some materials and I'll fix it for you today. ."
Yang Haiyan: "Thank you, Xianggong, you are the best. After you're done, I'll bake you some bread."
Thinking of her craftsmanship, Qin Fang couldn't help but look forward to the bread in her mouth.
However: "I don't have any money on me. I need money to prepare materials. You have to give me some." It's a little embarrassing to say it.
Yang Haiyan gave him a tael of silver that he handed in today.
Qin Fang: "Not so much."
Yang Haiyan: "You use it first and then give me the extra."
Qin Fang: "Okay."
Qin Fang went to buy materials. There were no materials in the town and he had to go to the countryside, so he hired a donkey cart. Yang Haiyan was not idle either. She went to the blacksmith shop and ordered a baking tray. She ordered three types of baking trays. One is a rectangular iron tray, which is specially used for baking bread, cookies , and biscuits. And the other is specially used for barbecue, and the last one is the egg pan, which is used to make egg tarts.
However, egg pans are more difficult in this age, so it takes time and the universal rectangular pan is quicker and she can get it tomorrow morning.
Three baking trays, two 70 yuan, egg pan baking tray 100 yuan, a total of 240 yuan.
When Yang Haiyan returned home, Qin Fang hadn't returned yet, so she took out the quilt in the room to dry it.
Just after drying, he heard the sound of the donkey cart and saw that the donkey cart stopped in front of her house. Qin Fang got off the donkey cart.
Yang Haiyan: "I'm back."
Qin Fang: "Well." He gave the remaining 500 yuan to Yang Haiyan and then removed the things from the donkey cart.
The movement caused by the donkey cart was not small. Sister Lu came over curiously to see that not only her, but also the old lady of the other neighbor, Centurion Zhang. Because Zhang's mother didn't get anything from Yang Haiyan before, she also said a lot of bad things about Yang Haiyan to others afterwards. But because Yang Haiyan didn't go out, she usually either went to the military camp to deliver meals, or was with embroidered with Yang Dahua at home, so she didn't know about it.
Mother Zhang didn't dare to approach and secretly watched from the side.
Sister-in-law Lu: "What are you doing?"
Yang Haiyan said: "Remodel the kitchen and build a sink in it. It will be more convenient to wash dishes then."
Sister-in-law Lu: "Sink? Washing dishes?" She couldn't understand for a while.
Yang Haiyan: "when it's done, Sister Lu can come to visit. If you like it, your family can also build one."
Sister-in-law Lu: "Hey, good."
There is no cement in this era, but the city walls of buildings still exist. This is the wisdom of the ancients. People in this world build walls with glutinous rice mortar.
The glutinous rice lime mortar refers to the mixing of glutinous rice soup into lime mortar to form a new composite mortar. The strength of glutinous rice lime mortar is much greater than that of pure lime mortar and it is very firm.
Of course, compared with glutinous rice lime slurry, in ordinary people's families, a relatively cheap lime slurry is used, which is yellow clay lime slurry and ordinary people's families cannot afford glutinous rice lime slurry.
However, Qin Fang used glutinous rice lime slurry this time. First, he only needed to make a sink and barbecue. He needed less glutinous rice lime, so the cost was not much different from that of yellow clay lime slurry. The second is that the sink is used for washing dishes and it will encounter water every day, so it needs to be more resistant to moisture, that is to say, the viscosity is better and it can be stronger. To sum up two points, it is naturally the glutinous rice lime slurry.
When Qin fang started to build the sink, Yang Haiyan watched from the side and praised from time to time:
"Xiang Gong, you are amazing."
"Xiang Gong, the sink you built is really smooth."
"Xiang Gong, are you tired? Have a cup of tea."
"Xianggong ..."
Qin Fang's bones were numb when she was yelled at by her, so he worked even more vigorously.
Building a sink is really fast and within an hour, the sink is ready. A hole was dug in the lower end of the sink near the wall so the dirty water could drain. Then, Qin Fang made a wooden sink plug.
Because the walls of the house are plastered with lime, the room is bright white, so Qin Fang also painted the appearance of the sink with lime, which makes it look even more beautiful. After finishing, he looked at Yang Haiyan.
The joy in Yang Haiyan's eyes is obvious. She is very satisfied with this sink: "It's great, thank you, Xianggong."
Qin Fang: "Well, I'll build the oven again. But this sink will last for three days, so it can't be used now."
Yang Haiyan: "I see, thank you for reminding me."
After a good meal at noon, dinner is relatively simple. Eating a good meal will give this man a great pleasure who is still a big boy. So Yang Haiyan cooked brown rice and steamed sweet potatoes at night. In the eyes of others, this is the coarse grain eaten by the common people and the poor .
But in Yang Haiyan's view, this is the coarse grain for modern people to keep fit.
Brown rice and sweet potatoes alone are too dry, so Yang Haiyan made a loofah and shrimp soup.
Originally, Qin Fang was still thinking that if he eats at noon, it is estimated that 30 wen a day will not be enough. But then he thought about it, she is capable of making money but can't eat well food, isn't this wronging her? Seeing the food on the table now, he thought, she is a frugal person. But for some reason, he was still a little sour in his heart: "You must have eaten well when you were in the capital, and you are really aggrieved to follow me to eat such a poor meal. You...you can earn your own private house and let yourself eat a good meal."
Just look at her fair skin, if she wasn't well-raised, how could she have such skin?
Yang Haiyan: "If you marry a chicken, you will follow a chicken, if you marry a dog, you will follow a dog. I will follow you, no matter what we eat."
Qin Fang was very moved when he heard it. He secretly vowed that he must work hard to climb up.
Yang Haiyan said again: "Besides, we don't eat rough food every day, we eat well at noon."
Qin Fang: "You are in charge of the family, you have the final say."
