Chapter 127: Building a Kiln
At this moment, the prisoners who were sentenced to exile were whispering to each other.
"What on earth are they doing? We finally have this moment of rest, and yet they can't just let everyone be quiet for a while." Someone complained, with impatience written all over his face.
"That's right, that's right..." others echoed.
The prisoners' tone was full of disdain.
Those yamen runners who had been taught a lesson by Ye Zirou and her companions couldn't help but tremble all over when they recalled how Ye Zirou had acted at that time, and they couldn't help but feel a surge of fear in their hearts.
Fortunately, they did not choose to continue to confront Ye Zirou and the others at that time.
They finally understood why the boss always tolerated Ye Zirou and others.
In their opinion, the boss had already known that Ye Zirou was such a cruel and ruthless person.
However, this was just the one-sided idea of the yamen runners.
In fact, the real reason why Li Mao always accommodated Ye Zirou was simply because he loved her.
He had never known that Ye Zirou knew martial arts. He thought she was just an expert in medicine and knew how to use poison. He never thought that Ye Zirou's martial arts were so powerful.
That scene shocked everyone else, including Brother Zhang and Sister Zhang and their family.
Wu Yong looked puzzled, and approached and asked, "Boss, have you known for a long time that Miss Ye is a fierce person, so you told me not to go against them? And that's why you have been tolerating her?"
Li Mao glared at him unhappily and said, "How do I know that her martial arts skills are so powerful?"
"Then why have you been so tolerant of them all along? Everyone has seen it and is puzzled. If it's not because of this reason, then what is the reason?" Wu Yong asked relentlessly.
"because......."
Li Mao swallowed the words back when they were on the tip of his tongue. He couldn't tell Wu Yong that it was because he liked Ye Zirou.
"Because of what?"
"Yes, that's why." Li Mao responded vaguely.
"I told you, it's our boss who has seen more than us. Fortunately, I listened to you, otherwise, I would have died without knowing how. I have to thank the boss for saving my life!"
Wu Yong was so foolish that he just believed what Li Mao said. His IQ was really worrying. He was the type who would sell himself out and still count the money for others.
But fortunately, he has a kind heart, but he tends to be biased when it comes to major issues.
Li Mao felt relieved when he saw that Wu Yong believed what he said.
He turned his gaze in the direction of Ye Zirou and witnessed her playing with Mo Tianyu. The two of them looked more and more compatible.
He knew in his heart that there was no possibility for him and Ye Zirou, but when he saw her with Mo Tianyu, an indescribable sour feeling welled up in his heart.
As for Ye Zirou and Mo Tianyu, they had almost picked up all the mud.
Just at this moment, Zheng Fangxing hurried back with a pile of dry firewood, gasping for breath from exhaustion.
He put down the dry firewood, sat down on the ground, looked at Ye Zirou and said, "Sister Ye, do you think these are enough?"
Ye Zirou took a look and was immediately shocked. Oh my God, this is too much.
She smiled and said to Zheng Fangxing: "That's enough, Fang Zheng, you are really awesome!"
When Zheng Fangxing heard Ye Zirou praising him, he felt very happy and scratched his head embarrassedly.
Ye Zirou quickly asked him to rest for a while.
The others also finished their work one after another and walked to Ye Zirou and Mo Tianyu.
Looking at the mud on the ground, Long San couldn't help but ask Ye Zirou curiously: "Madam, what are these mud pieces used for?"
Ye Zirou smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know in a moment."
After saying that, she stood up and began to carefully select a flat and open space to build an earthen kiln.
I saw that she moved skillfully. She squatted down and picked up large pieces of mud with both hands.
Place them on the ground and concentrate on adjusting the position of each piece of mud to ensure that they form a regular and tight circle.
Leave an opening of suitable size on the side or bottom of the kiln for adding firewood and putting in food.
Then, she methodically added mud blocks layer by layer, gradually piling them up, with each layer shrinking inward a little, forming a shape that was larger at the bottom and smaller at the top.
In this way, from large to small, the shape of the earthen kiln gradually became clear and finally formed a cone.
Long San looked at the hole and asked in confusion: "Madam, what is this hole used for?"
"This hole will be used for firewood later, and then the pheasant and hare can be stuffed in at the end."
Hearing this, everyone nodded as if they understood.
"Did you see clearly what I did?" Ye Zirou looked at Long Yi and Long San and asked.
Some of them nodded, some shook their heads.
"Those who can see clearly can build it. Those who can't see clearly can just learn to build it. One earthen kiln is not enough. A kiln this big can only hold two foods. Here are three pheasants and three hares. You can build it as you see fit."
After saying this, she seemed to feel a little tired, so she walked aside to rest quietly.
After hearing the instructions, Long Yi and Long San immediately started building the kiln.
Zheng Fangxing, who was standing by, saw them busy at work and stepped forward to say, "Brother Long Yi and Brother Long San, let me help you."
"Okay!" Long Yi and Long San answered in unison.
At this time, Long Yi and Long San had already cleaned the pheasants and rabbits that were prepared for roasting very well, and each one was carefully wrapped in large leaves.
Ye Zirou was also not idle. She took out the seasonings from the space and sprinkled them evenly on the chickens and rabbits, allowing them to marinate for a while so that they would taste better when roasted.
Before long, the earthen kiln was built.
Long San asked with a hint of nervousness and anticipation on his face.
"Ma'am, take a look at me, how am I doing?"
Ye Zirou walked forward and carefully checked it. After confirming that the shape of the earthen kiln was stable and met the requirements, she smiled and said, "Very good, you have a strong learning ability!"
Hearing Ye Zirou's praise, Long Yi and Long San were filled with joy, and their hearts felt as sweet as if they had eaten honey.
In their minds, Ye Zirou seemed to particularly like praising others.
In fact, Ye Zirou is a person who is good at giving emotional value to others. She knows very well that encouragement can make people positive and work hard, while setbacks will only make people unable to recover.
However, her attitude towards those who do evil and have ulterior motives is completely different.
She would usually rather take action than talk. In her opinion, saying one more word to such a bad guy is a waste of breath.
