Bab 30: Greatest Luck
Editor: Henyee Translations
Lin Yi sprinkled a layer of flour on the table, kneaded the dough for a while, and began to make dumplings.
After wrapping the round and chubby dumplings, Lin Yi threw them into the boiling water in the pot. A few minutes later, the dumplings floated on the surface of the water, and she scooped them up with a big spoon.
When eating dumplings, they naturally had to be dipped in vinegar. Lin Yi divided the vinegar she got from the villagers into three portions and placed them on small plates.
Liuliu gulped when he saw the large basin of dumplings. Wei Luan looked at Lin Yi and was relieved to see that she did not look tired.
Although he liked Lin Yi's food, he did not want Lin Yi to tire herself out.
"There are five sugar-filled dumplings in the dumplings. Those who eat them will be lucky this month. Let's see who's the luckiest!" Lin Yi said with a smile.
Kids loved small games like this. Hearing Lin Yi's words, Liuliu's eyes widened as he carefully observed the dumplings in his bowl.
The ordinary meal suddenly became interesting. Wei Luan smiled.
He looked at the dumplings in the bowl and felt a little curious and expectant like a child.
In the end, Lin Yi was the luckiest. She had three sweet dumplings in her bowl, and Liuliu had two in his bowl. Wei Luan was the worst. He did not have a single sweet dumpling.
"I'm too lucky, I'll share some with you." Lin Yi placed her dumplings into Wei Luan's bowl and smiled.
Looking at Lin Yi's cute and lively smile, Wei Luan's heart warmed.
He thought to himself: "I don't need any other luck. You're my greatest luck."
...
The weather gradually turned cold, and the chicks in Aunt Feng's house had hatched.
Wei Luan and Liuliu transported two different types of soil to the courtyard after a day of farming. Wei Luan added water and stirred it into the mud before adding some straw.
After the ingredients were mixed, Liuliu put wooden boards on his feet and began to step hard in the mud. This process was to allow the three mixtures to be mixed fully so that the final product would have the best toughness and stickiness.
In the end, Wei Luan placed the mixed mud in dozens of rectangular wooden molds. After drying the mud, it turned into hard mud bricks.
In this era, red bricks were very expensive, so ordinary people would still make their own mud bricks when building houses.
According to Lin Yi's design, Wei Luan finally finished making the chicken coop.
The chicken coop was a mud brick building that was one meter tall and two meters wide. The outside of the chicken coop was surrounded by branches to limit the range of the chicken's movement.
There were still some mud bricks left. Wei Luan used them to segregate an area for the vegetable plot. The empty courtyard now had a chicken coop and vegetable field. It instantly became full.
Lin Yi saw that the vegetable field was bare and ugly, so she went to the back of the mountain and dug a few flower seedlings to decorate the vegetable field.
However, Wei Luan had told Lin Yi that the seedlings would not be able to survive after being dug out. Hearing this, Lin Yi felt a little sad.
"It's okay, I'll help you look for other flowers in the mountains," Wei Luan comforted Lin Yi.
"I also want grapevines. When the time comes, We can make a grape rack on top of the chicken coop. The grapes are edible, and the grapevines look good." Lin Yi made another request. In her previous life, she often wanted to build the farmhouse of her dreams. After she transmigrated, she was finally able to do it.
"Alright, I'll make it for you." A faint smile appeared on Wei Luan's lips. Even he did not notice that there was a hint of affection in his tone.
"Why do you know how to do so much? You can make chicken coops, make baskets, fish, hunt… Is there anything you don't know?" Lin Yi smiled and looked at Wei Luan with admiration. However, after saying this, she suddenly thought of something and added, "Of course, except cooking."
Wei Luan smiled sheepishly.
She was such a silly girl. It was no big deal knowing to do these things since all villagers knew how to do them. Instead, she was amazing. She knew how to cook and make clothes.
After the chicken coop was built, Lin Yi went to fetch a dozen chicks from Aunt Feng's house. The courtyard was bustling with activity, and the sound of chicks could be heard all day long. Liuliu often squatted outside the chicken coop to watch the chicks.
Lin Yi thought that when the little chicks grew up, she would be able to collect eggs. By then, she would not have to use food stamps to exchange for eggs or borrow eggs from the villagers. Eggs could also be used to make many things. If she could buy more raw materials in the city, she might even be able to try making desserts.
