nChapter 33 Completion

n“Babe,” Gu Chengrui asked after the meal, “Are we using the heated brick bed or building a floor heater?”

n“Floor heating?”

n“Yes, it’s the floor heating. It’s too troublesome to build a wall heater, so we can build it to go underground.”

nZhou Ying hesitated for a moment. “We’ll do whatever’s convenient. We won’t be staying in this house for long anyway.”

n“Alright, then I’ll see to it.” Gu Chengrui nodded.

nAfter that, the two of them chatted for a while, then closed the door and entered her interspace. After they finished working, they took a shower and slept.

nThis time, Zhou Ying slept until dawn. She only woke up when Gu Chengrui had prepared breakfast.

nThen, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. It seemed that in the future, it would be better not to live in the temple.

nAfter the meal, Zhou Ying took advantage of the fact that no one had come yet and went to her interspace to use the noodle press machine to press 30 pounds of noodles. She took five pounds of streaky pork, some mustard, and some sweet sauce.

nShe made fried sauce noodles and a side dish of shredded radish for lunch.

nHowever, on this day, not only did Mrs. Bai come to help with the cooking, but even Mrs. Wang had rushed over early.

nAt the front, the father and son of the clan had also brought three disciples from the Gu clan to help. Even Gu Chengxi came over to help weave mats.

nWhen it was almost noon, the village chief and Qian Jiale transported the tiles over.

nThree days later, the house was completely renovated. Even the wall was built with some mud bricks bought from the village.

nThat night, Zhou Ying made fried sauce noodles again at everyone’s request. At the same time, she braised a pig’s head, ten pig’s trotters, mixed them with a pot of cabbage shreds, cooked a pot of five-spice peanuts, and bought ten pounds of wine.

nAfter everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Gu Chengrui gave everyone their wages, and this was considered a complete end to their renovation.

nZhou Ying saw that there was still some meat sauce left, so she scooped out two bowls and handed them to Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Wang, “Aunties, many thanks for your help these past two days. This is just a small gift, and I hope you won’t reject it.”

n“If you give me something else, I might not accept it. But I really wanted more of this sauce after I tried it, so I definitely won’t reserve myself.” Mrs. Bai took it with a smile.

n“Yes, yes, this sauce is the best I’ve ever had. You have to teach me how to make it later.” Mrs. Wang nodded in agreement.

n“Sure, come over when you’re free. I’ll teach you how to blow it up step by step.” Zhou Ying said.

n“Then it’s decided. After you’ve cleaned up the house, we’ll come over and learn how to make this fried sauce.” After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, she invited Mrs. Bai to go out with her.

nAfter sending them off, Zhou Ying cleaned up the kitchen, added more firewood, and returned to the house.

nShe took a good look at the neat and tidy house. It really looked no different from a new one.

nIt was just that the mat on the roof that was exposed outside looked very ugly. It seemed that she had better cover it. Otherwise, it would be terrifying if insects or mice fell on her while sleeping at night.

nAlso, the construction of the floor heating was canceled. It would be a pity to hack away the foundation made of three-in-one soil and bluestone.

nGu Chengrui returned after sending off the clan leader and the rest. He saw her staring at the roof and immediately thought of something. “Don’t worry. I scattered a lot of chemical powder on the beam. I guarantee there won’t be any snakes, rats, insects, or ants. ”

n“Then we’ll just leave it exposed like this?”

n“It’s like this over here. Let’s not do anything special. At most, we can put a mosquito net on a branch or make a cover.”

n“That’s fine. By the way, when will the furniture be delivered?”

n“It’s in five days, but should we buy the blanket or take it from the space?”

n“I’ll buy it. I still have some silver. We can buy a small portion tomorrow to avoid being caught.”

n“That’s right. Let’s buy two more sets of cotton-padded clothes and some food.”

nAfter that, they cleaned the house carefully again and entered the interspace when night fell.
