Chapter 389: Pig Innards

Lin Yuelan nodded and said, “yes, we’re done.”

However, Lin Yuelan still had one more thing to ask.

“Uncle Li, are there any craftsmen in this town?”

The five Mus of land that she had bought had been planted, and Lin Mingqing’s leg was almost healed. As for the land reclamation, it was not something that could be done in a short time, so she wanted to get the house ready first.

The small thatched cottage had been reinforced, so there was no need to worry about it leaking or suddenly collapsing.

However, the house was too small, and there was not enough room.

Previously, she was too busy to build a new house. Now that she had some money on hand and was a little free, she wanted to build a house.

Li Huaisheng was slightly surprised. “Miss Lin, are you going to build a house?”

Lin Yuelan nodded and said, “that’s right. Where are the best craftsmen in Ning An town?”

Li Huaisheng had been in town for decades and knew many people.

He thought for a while and said, “at the end of the street, there’s a craftsman surnamed Hu and a few of his friends. They do a good job as masons. Usually, they’re the ones who are asked to add tiles and bricks for the big families.”

“Okay,” Lin Yuelan said, “I’ll have to trouble Uncle Li to ask them if they’re willing to come to Lin Family Village to work for me.” She was famous for being a jinx, so these people might have reservations.

Li Huaisheng answered, “Is this urgent for Miss Lin?”

Lin Yuelan replied, “If it’s possible, I want them to come in the next few days.”

Li Huaisheng nodded, “Okay. I’ll go ask.”

Lin Yuelan said, “If they’re willing, tell them to come to the Lin Family Village to find me.”

If they were not willing, she could find others. She didn’t believe that she couldn’t find someone to work with the money.

After coming out of the Linyue Pavilion, Lin Yuelan and Liu Jiaying continued to walk on the street for a while.

Lin yuelan went to a pork stall and bought some pork and pig innards.

Liu Jiaying wrinkled her nose and said, “Yuelan, pig innards don’t taste good. It’s smelly and fishy.”

Lin Yuelan smiled, “If you prepare them well, that won’t be a problem.”

Liu Jiaying’s eyes flashed. “Really?” She thought of the many recipes Lin Yuelan had provided for Yuelai Inn. She believed in Lin Yuelan’s cooking skills. Liu Jiaying said nervously, “Yuelan, can I go to your home with you? I want to try your cooking so much.” She still couldn’t forget what she had last time at Lin Yuelan’s place.

Lin Yuelan looked at the sky and shook her head. “No.”

Her place was narrow and had many men. If a rich young lady like her were to spend the night there, it would definitely attract gossip.

“I see that it’s still early. Instead, why don’t we go to the inn, and I’ll make some dishes for you?” Seeing how unhappy Liu Jiaying was, Lin Yuelan suggested.

“That’s good!” Liu Jiaying was immediately happy.

Jiang Zhennan, who was carrying things behind the two of them, frowned slightly and then relaxed. However, he was muttering in his heart, ‘is miss Yue’ Er a little too good to miss Liu?’

He had been with Miss Yue ‘Er for a while now, but he had never seen her treat anyone well. Even for the village chief’s family, she treated them well out of gratitude.

However, Jiang Zhennan looked at the innocent Liu Jiaying and seemed to understand Lin Yuelan’s thoughts. She just wanted to protect Liu Jiaying’s innocent and naive side.

Lin Yuelan bought the pig meat and the head from two stalls.

Because of the hot weather, these things didn’t smell good. Lin Yuelan immediately asked Jiang Zhennan to put them on the ox cart. Then, he brought them back to Yuelai Inn.

However, when they went to the kitchen, they had to pass by the main hall. Therefore, the smell of the things Jiang Zhennan was carrying immediately spread.

“Hmm, what’s this smell? Why is it so smelly?”

Then, they saw the thing in Jiang Zhennan’s hand. They looked at Jiang Zhennan’s appearance, and a hint of jealousy flashed in their eyes. They then looked at Jiang Zhennan’s clothes. He didn’t look like he came from a powerful family. Such a person was the perfect target to bully.

So, someone immediately mocked, “Where does the stink come from? Do you even know where you are?”
