No one dares to prove the truth to himself, so the truth or falsehood of the old man's words becomes less important.
It glanced at everyone's face, triumphantly put the cake back into the pot, closed the lid, and walked to the door, all signaling them to take action quickly.
Qiu Yali took her eyes away from the old man and secretly sent a message to Du Li and Ding Zhen, telling them to try to exchange with Cheng Min and others to fetch water from the river.
When the three girls heard Ding Zhen's suggestion, they were very moved and quickly agreed.
When Du Li and Qiu Yali received the reply, they turned around and went to the house to get buckets.
The wooden barrel has a normal diameter and height, as does the shoulder pole.
Qiu Yali was afraid that the people she saw might become suspicious, so she followed Du Li quickly towards the river.
Xiong Yan and the others added Gao Yuan and Wen Mu’s freshly picked ingredients.
At first, the two of them didn't care. Instead, Li Tao asked who Qiu Ruoxi had changed with.
Cheng Min answered for her, "Ding Zhen and the two tallest girls."
Gao Yuanzhi wondered that Qiu Yali and Du Li were not the kind of people who willingly endured hardships and would tell Shang Yu when they found an opportunity.
Li Tao was also surprised and said as if talking to himself: "I always feel that Ding Zhen must have something to do with one of the women."
However, he himself is not interested in Qiu Yali and Du Li, it is just boring talk.
Wen Mu believed it to be true and felt unfair for Du Li, "With that girl's appearance and figure, wouldn't it be easy to find a good man? What's so good about Ding Zhen?"
"I'm not Du Li, ask me how I know."
Li Tao saw Wenmu chirping and refused to listen, scolding him for acting like a bitch.
"Hey, don't you think that one is the best and prettiest? It also has a huge body?"
Li Tao and Wenmu followed Li Xuan's gaze.
That person was Yu Niao, Qin Min was wandering around her, Shang Yu was busy building a stove, and his eyes glanced at the two of them from time to time.
Wenmu shook his head regretfully, "I fell in love with her at first sight, but it's a pity that this famous flower has an owner."
"Who is the master?" Li Tao asked casually.
Wenmu pointed his chin at Shang Yu, "That's not it."
Li Xuan shook his head repeatedly, "What, they are not in that kind of relationship. Otherwise, he can watch his woman being pleased by other men's sweet words?"
Wenmu suddenly realized, "That's right. You are still smart."
Li Xuan changed the topic, "However, I still advise you not to provoke her. That merchant is probably interested in her. If you make him anxious, it will be easy for you."
Wenmu obviously felt that he was being underestimated and became furious. He turned sideways and wanted to hit Li Xuan.
Li Tao scolded them several times and warned the two of them: "Don't be like bitches. What's good about women? Sharpen your knives. I'm about to kill sheep and pigs!"
Li Xuan and Wen Mu ran to the house to get a knife and a whetstone. Gao Yuan happened to pass by them. He heard the words of the three people clearly.
It turns out that when men gossip, they are more talkative than women.
When he looked at them again, his eyes showed only contempt.
"Brother Gao, do you need help?"
Gao Yuan stretched her arms away from those stinky men and suggested that she help Shang Yu and Niba because the other two girls couldn't help.
"Okay, I'll come and help you when we're done."
Gao Yuan nodded, turned around and was blocked by Wenmu and Li Xuan. He knew they did it on purpose, especially Wenmu.
"Big guy, let me ask you something, who is that girl to you?"
Wenmu is indeed very concerned about women's affairs, especially beautiful women.
"My cousin has a partner."
Xiong Yan was just passing by and overheard Wenmu's words and glared fiercely, "Dirty bitch!"
Wenmu realized that the peek was exposed and had nothing to say. He followed him with a silly smile and explained that he just saw it accidentally.
Gao Yuan became more and more certain that Wen Mu's lust and heart did not weaken even at this time. He was really the best and Yu Niao had to be careful.
At this moment, Yu Niao was squatting next to Shang Yu, rolling up his sleeves and mud.
Qiu Ruoxi was afraid of getting dirty, so she helped move the bricks.
Cheng Min squatted not far away, scraping the bottom of the pot with a small shovel.
After the rough shape of the earthen stove was figured out, Li Tao killed the pigs and sheep neatly and separated the various parts of the meat according to the old man's wishes.
Soon, strips of scarlet pork and meat were laid out on a wooden table that was almost ten meters long.
Li Tao was exhausted. He threw away the machete and found a rag in the house. He wiped the blood from his hands and sat at the door to rest.
Everyone is waiting for water, but Qiu Yali and others have not returned yet.
Shang exchanged glances with Yu Niao and planned to go take a look.
A figure was approaching in the distance. The three of them each carried two buckets of water back on their poles, some full buckets and some half buckets.
There is another bucket, just over the bottom.
The old man ordered the three of them to fetch water again. The water tank in the house must be filled up.
Qiu and Du had a lot of complaints in their stomachs, but they couldn't open their mouths, so they could only grit their teeth and carry their things and continue to the river.
The old man wants to try out the earthen stove that can hold four pots.
Shang Yu lit a fire to burn firewood, and the black smoke from the ignited dry grass made him unable to open his eyes and made him shed tears.
Yu Niao secretly took the old man's banana fan from his belt and helped him fan himself.
"Very good, well done."
The old man praised Shang Yu for his good craftsmanship, squinted his eyes and warned Yu Niao to quickly return the property to its original owner, then turned around and staggered towards the house.
"Why do you know how to do everything? You're so awesome!"
Yu Niao admires Shang Yu from the bottom of her heart.
Shang Yu felt that she was making fun of him and changed the subject, "Those three people are quite disappointed."
"Yeah, it feels like some of my expectations have been disappointed..." Yu Niao stopped there. She knew that he and she were thinking about the same thing, and they both nodded at the same time.
Yu Niao was just talking casually, but who knows that a blind cat encounters a dead mouse.
Shang Yu was glad that they were disappointed. If he was found, it would be difficult for others to find him again.
The two of them were very close, and they were completely unaware of this until Ding Zhen's voice sounded. She suddenly raised her head and bumped her forehead against his chin.
He covered his mouth and screamed in pain.
He also frowned in pain.
The water tank is filled.
The prepared ingredients were cleaned and cut by Liu Yanyu, Rao Yue and Wu Siran.
Everyone stood together. Qin Min looked around several times and asked: "Who is the referee?"
The old man clapped his hands, and a small wooden door less than fifty centimeters high opened next to the door.
A group of white rats walked out gracefully one after another.
Yu Niao felt her eyes were a little dazzled. She rubbed it a few times and looked again. She saw that the white rat had actually walked out, its hairless tail raised high.
If you put on clothes, it really looks like a group of rat ladies auditioning.
"Are you kidding me? You're making food for a bunch of rats. They have the final say on whether it tastes good or not. It's so fucking ridiculous!"
Wenmu stood behind Li Tao and jumped up to complain.
The old man ignored it, picked up his chopsticks and drew a few symbols in the air.
Immediately afterwards, one of the white rats jumped onto Wenmu's shoulder, and scratched his face into a tabby cat's face with its sharp claws.
