Chapter 143 Don’t I treat you as my own child?
Lin Panpan asked Lin Feng to send them back, and then went to prepare things for tomorrow's banquet.
Because it was late autumn, it didn't matter even if the fish had been killed. After the group arrived, they quickly got to work.
The villagers began to kill chickens, sheep and pigs, and Lin Panpan handled the slaughtered chickens, sheep and pigs neatly.
More than a dozen women came from the village. They were very skilled and each movement was orderly.
Zhang Hong smiled and said, "My goodness, why do I feel like it's even more lively than the Chinese New Year?"
Lin Panpan said with a smile: "We will also have so many tables for the New Year this year, so that everyone can have fun."
Zhang Hong quickly waved her hand and said, "Forget it! These things are expensive, let's keep them and make money!"
Lin Panpan looked at her and said:
"We may have to make money by serving banquets in the future, so everyone must perform well tomorrow.
I will train you later on how to serve the food tomorrow and how you should work tomorrow."
The dozen or so women who came this time were all in their 30s. They laughed when they heard this: "Ah? We still have to learn the rules?"
“Yes, I will give you a training session in a while to teach you how to use the tray.
I specially asked someone to make this tray, so it will be more convenient to serve the dishes tomorrow.
And tomorrow, if everyone does a good job, I will give everyone 10 yuan."
The women in the village couldn't believe their ears: "What? How much money are we getting?"
"Didn't Panpan say it was 10 yuan per person? Oh! Panpan, aren't you giving too much?"
Lin Panpan looked at them and said, "It's okay. As long as everyone works hard, we can make more money in the future."
Although they have their own land in the village, it is still not enough to feed the entire village.
What's more, part of the land in the mountains is used to grow crops, part is used to grow vegetables, and some is used to grow medicinal herbs.
As soon as money was mentioned, everyone became excited instantly, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Lin Panpan sorted these things out and looked at her watch. It was already past eight o'clock.
She quickly waved her hand and said, "Everyone, stop working. Eat dinner and go to bed."
Zhang Hong looked at her and said, "Then where are we going to sleep tonight?"
Lin Panpan said, "Come with me! Take all the things we have packed with you."
After they moved all the things onto the tractor, Lin Panpan took them back to her house.
Zhang Hong was stunned looking at the house. "Wow! This is my first time entering such a large house. Whose house is this? Oh my god! How can the living room be so big?"
Lin Panpan looked at her and said, "Let's have dinner first, Aunt Lan, is dinner ready?"
"Miss, everything is ready. I'll bring dinner over now." Aunt Lan brought the dinner over directly.
Dinner was simple, with a bowl full of chicken stewed with potatoes.
The chicken soup is golden in color, with oil droplets swirling slowly on the surface, and the rising hot steam with a rich aroma hits you in the face.
A few pieces of chicken that had been stewed until they were boneless were half-sunk and half-floating in the soup. The texture of the chicken was fully absorbed by the delicious soup and melted in the mouth.
Those plump potatoes have absorbed the rich flavor of the chicken soup. They are soft and sticky, and they spread out on the tip of your tongue with a light bite.
There was also a pig's blood soup, and everyone's eyes widened: "Our dinner is so sumptuous! Oh! I'm starving just looking at it."
Lin Panpan said loudly: "There's plenty of food today, everyone eat more."
After eating and training for more than two hours, Aunt Lan took them to rest. Aunt Lan cleaned up 10 rooms in total, all with simple beds and a few quilts.
Lin Panpan went into the study. Aunt Lan helped her lift the charcoal basin and sat beside it to embroider flowers.
"Auntie Lan, embroidering at night is bad for your eyes. Besides, our family doesn't need any embroidery."
Aunt Lan smiled and said, "I want to make you a pair of shoes. The shoes I make are quite beautiful. I also made you a winter coat. I'll go get it and show it to you."
The fabric of the winter clothes is thick dark blue cotton, which has a tight and solid texture and feels warm to the touch.
The most eye-catching thing is the cloak draped over the shoulders. It is lined with soft fox fur, and the fluffy hair strands are clearly visible. When it is shaken lightly, it seems as if there is flowing light flowing through it.
The outer fabric of the cloak is dark purple satin, embroidered with delicate patterns.
They were blooming peonies, with petals layered on top of each other, outlined with silver thread and then filled in with colored thread, the pink ones were delicate and the white ones were holy.
"This... this is made of fox fur. It's too precious. I can't take it." Lin Panpan wanted to refuse, but Aunt Lan held her hand and said:
"This cloak was given to me by my wife when she no longer wanted it.
Actually, I have a few pieces of good material here that I have never worn. It would be a waste to leave them here. You are young and you will look good in anything."
Lin Panpan looked at Aunt Lan and said:
"Auntie Lan, you don't have to be so reserved here. Don't treat me like some young lady.
I regard you as my own family, and you regard me as my own child."
Aunt Lan turned her back, wiped her tears and said:
"I see, don't I treat you as my own child?
You know what? I've been a slave my whole life, and I've never heard these words from Ren Ran.
Even if she truly considers me her family, I would not refuse to help her.
She came to see me again these days, and she kept saying the same few words, trying to coax me back to being a housekeeper.
Lin Panpan looked at her and said, "Auntie Lan, please don't go back in a fit of rage..."
"I can't go back, what am I going to do with that kind of family?
I feel that my life is pretty good now. When I have nothing to do, I grow flowers, tend grass, and do some embroidery.
When you have children in the future, I can help you take care of them. I’m very good at taking care of children. I learned it from the wet nurse in my family before..." Aunt Lan looked at him eagerly.
Lin Panpan quickly waved her hand and said, "No, forget about having a baby! I haven't thought about these things for the time being. I want to continue studying."
Lin Panpan felt that life was so beautiful, why did she have to find a man to make her unhappy?
She calmed down and continued to read the medical book. Recently, she had been memorizing faster and faster and remembered a lot of content.
However, in addition to theoretical knowledge, studying medicine also requires improvement through practice, which she currently lacks.
Early the next morning, Lin Panpan went to the leader's house. She arrived at around four o'clock. The leader lived in a fairly large courtyard house.
Aunt Zhang opened the door for her and said, "Wow! You're here so early?"
Lin Panpan smiled and stuffed ten yuan into Zhang Ma's pocket and said, "Zhang Ma, thank you for your help."
Aunt Zhang couldn't hide the smile on her face. "What's the trouble? It's all my responsibility. I just didn't expect the chef today to be so young. Come on, I'll take you to the kitchen."
