Chapter 161 Placement
Shitou sobbed with a red nose, "Sis, since Brother Gao left, I'll be the only one cooking."
Shang Wan: "...Are you crying about this?"
Shitou nodded.
Shang Wan was in a complicated mood. He pointed at Ma Jieyong who was also sobbing and asked, "What about him?"
"Brother Ma said that he would never find a master who could feed him again. He was heartbroken when he thought about working and starving."
Shang Wan: “…” There’s no need to be so pessimistic.
He Sizhi slapped his apprentice on the back of his head, "You are an adult, but you are crying like a child. Aren't you ashamed? Stop it now!"
Ma Jieyong wiped his tears with his sleeves and turned to look at Shang Wan, "Madam Shang, your pakchoy is so delicious, can you sell me some?"
Shang Wan looked at him calmly. Could it be that this guy noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Baicai?
The next second she realized that she was overthinking. Ma Jieyong simply thought that the bok choy soup was delicious.
Considering that this big guy worked hard, Shang Wan fulfilled his small request and gave him a bundle of cabbage.
Ma Jieyong was so happy that his teeth were showing and his eyes were not visible. He Sizhi couldn't bear to watch.
This stupid disciple!
After saying goodbye, Shitou drove the ox cart to send the four people away.
Shang Wan walked around the new house with his hands behind his back. Although it was a newly built house, it was uninhabitable if it wasn't cleaned.
In the past, it wasn’t a big deal when there was only one wooden shed, but now there are so many rooms to clean, and Shang Wan already feels sore in his back before he even starts cleaning.
People with superpowers are not created this way.
She thought about it for a moment and decisively threw the matter to Yuanyuan.
To be precise, it was thrown to the monkey team trained by Yuanyuan.
Monkeys have strength in numbers. While a group of monkeys were jumping around and cleaning the new house carefully, Shang Wan put all the things in the wooden shed into the space.
She planned to convert the wooden shed into a cowshed and sheep shed, specifically for cattle and ewes to live in.
Keeping the cows and sheep outside will keep the yard free of odor. With Xiao Hui watching over them, there is no need to worry about the cows and sheep being stolen.
If there really was a thief who set his sights on his house, Shang Wan would definitely let him know why the flowers were so red.
After some dismantling, patching up, hammering and simple renovation, the cattle and sheep immediately had a new home.
To prevent the cattle and sheep from fighting, Shang Wan built a wooden fence in the middle so that the two sides would not interfere with each other.
Shang Wan thought about it and turned the shed for Master He and his friends into a simple chicken shed. When the market was open, he would buy a nest of chicks and raise them to lay eggs.
After the two sheds were renovated, the new house was also cleaned spotlessly by the monkeys.
Chu Xu sat on a bench holding Yuanyuan. In the bamboo basket on the left were tender green cabbages, and in the bamboo basket on the right were juicy white radishes.
Under the organization of the old monkey, the monkeys lined up in order and came forward one by one to receive their rewards.
Those who like cabbage can take cabbage, and those who like radish can take radish.
If you like both, you can take both, as long as the total does not exceed five.
These cabbages and radishes are all produced in the space and are very popular with animals. Whether they are herbivores, carnivores or omnivores, they all accept them as rewards.
Yuanyuan made a deal with her mother. She asked the bird to help her mother find seeds, and her mother paid her with cabbage and radishes.
Chu Xu originally thought that Yuanyuan was only liked by small animals, but after seeing the army of monkeys today, he felt that this was not the case.
He suspected that Yuanyuan could control these monkeys, just like the monkey trainers on the street, making the monkeys listen to her.
"Yuanyuan, how did you do that?"
Yuanyuan tilted her little head and looked at him.
Chu Xu pointed at the few remaining monkeys in the yard and said, "These are the ones. Why do they listen to you?"
Yuanyuan: "Be obedient."
Chu Xu repeated the question, "Why do I listen to you?"
Yuanyuan: "Why... Sen..."
Chu Xu went crazy: "Don't repeat what I said!"
Yuanyuan opened her mouth wide, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"
The soft and tender voice of a baby is like an echo.
Chu Xu: “…”
He doesn't bother with a one-year-old baby!
"Why can Yuanyuan make the monkey listen to her?" Shang Wan turned his head and looked at the unhappy child with a puffy face, "Why are you asking this?"
Chu Xu said truthfully: "I want to learn."
Wouldn't it be so cool to make all the animals obedient?
If he learns this trick, he will be able to control the enemy's horse when he goes to the battlefield, and winning the battle will be a matter of minutes, right?
Shang Wan ruthlessly dashed his hopes, "It's innate, you can't learn it. Yuanyuan has been liked by animals since she was a child, and animals are willing to listen to her."
"why?"
"How should I know?" Shang Wan shrugged. "If you want to know the reason, you have to ask the animals."
Chu Xu: “…”
He lowered his head in disappointment, dragged his feet, and walked out slowly.
"Brother!" Yuanyuan crawled over with her little turtle on her head and stretched out her little hands for her brother to hold her.
Chu Xu stared at her for a while, his eyes rolled, and a plan came to his mind.
He squatted down and touched Yuanyuan's little head, and asked seriously with a serious face: "Yuanyuan, do you want to be a general?"
Yuanyuan blinked in confusion, "Huh?"
Chu Xu explained with his hands dancing excitedly: "A general is supposed to fight in battles, kill the enemy, and defend his country. It's very, very impressive."
Yuanyuan tried hard to understand what the little brother meant: "Times?"
"The general can't eat." Chu Xu picked her up and decided to tell the little baby in his arms about the heroic deeds on the battlefield.
Since he can't control the animals, why doesn't he just kidnap someone who can?
Hehe, he is really a little genius!
As for whether a woman can be a general, I'm sorry, the young master hasn't thought about this for the time being.
Now that the house is clean, the next step is to put the furniture in order.
Shang Wan picked out things from the space, and Lu Chengjing helped to organize them.
There were no outsiders in his house, and Chu Xu was an insider, so he didn't need to sit in a wheelchair to hide from others.
In the days when the new house was about to be completed, Shang Wan bought a lot of things one after another and also ordered some things from the Li family. He put them in order carefully, and the empty house gradually felt like home.
"I'll get some soil back later and plant the flowers and plants." Shang Wan stood by the window, looking at the still bare little garden, and pointed to a corner, "That spot is reserved for camellias. I'll find a chance to move them out."
"No need to bother." Lu Chengjing also looked out the window. "Mrs. Lu didn't like those two camellia plants, so she ordered them to be dug up and thrown away. I felt sorry for them, so I had them planted in my yard."
Shang Wan said: "But you and Yuanyuan both like it."
"Let's plant some new ones." Lu Chengjing smiled slightly and held Shang Wan's hand. "Let's plant them together."
"What to plant? Camellia?"
"what do you like?"
Shang Wan propped up his chin lazily, "There are so many things I like. Flowers, white ones are pure, red ones are warm, those that bloom in spring, those that bloom in winter, each has its own merits. It's boring to just look at one kind."
Lu Chengjing: "There are quite a few flower seeds among the seeds that Yuanyuan brought back. You can try them."
"You're here to plant it?"
"it is good."
“Can there be flowers all year round?”
"Ah."
