Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Close to the Water Tower

Second Young Master Li feared Li Yuzhu would say, "It’s better to build the house on the mountain."

Isn’t that letting that boy have an advantage? Being close to the water and the mountains, he might as well seize the moon first!

Running in whenever he wants to take a glance at his sister?

He interrupted Li Yuzhu and replied first, "Let’s build at the foot of the mountain! It’s easier to get in and out, and carriage can’t come up the mountain! Father, with your legs not being well, how can you manage climbing the mountain every day?"

Li Xing’an didn’t care where the house was built, as long as it wasn’t on the mountain. "Yes, yes, the foot of the mountain is good! The foot of the mountain is good."

Prince Luling nodded, "Your mother and I have decided the same thing, and your older brother and sister-in-law think so too."

So, they all thought this way? They worried for nothing!

The brothers felt relieved.

"It seems everyone sees things the same way, hahaha," Second Young Master Li laughed easily.

Li Xing’an patted Li Yuzhu on the shoulder and deliberately said, "Little sister, you wouldn’t oppose the family’s decision, would you?"

The Xue Family was afraid this little sister-in-law would stir things up again. She couldn’t stand the weeds and insects on the mountain and quickly said, "Little sister, the minority must follow the majority!"

The Great Princess was also afraid of the snakes on the mountain, and she followed up, "Li Yuzhu, this was something everyone discussed for a long time before deciding; the foot of the mountain is indeed better than the mountain."

Li Yuzhu smiled and said, "The foot of the mountain is indeed better than the mountain; Second Brother is right; the terrain is flat, and it’s convenient to get in and out. It will be easier to transport grain in the future."

Prince Luling stroked several strands of his beard and nodded, "Since everyone thinks this way, after lunch, we’ll go to the foot of the mountain to choose a site for the house."

"Great!" Li Xing’an was the first to reply excitedly.

.

The noon meal was still bone stew with white rice porridge.

Because the bones were marinated, the taste was a bit worse than the fresh ones yesterday.

The breakfast was also bone porridge, but after a night of hunger, everyone ate without noticing the difference in taste from yesterday.

Now that it’s midday, people’s taste buds fully recovered, eating these marinated ribs felt quite different from yesterday’s taste.

The princely heirs just frowned slightly and said nothing.

Prince Luling and his wife were elders, and they endured it.

The Second Princess was a foodie and never refused anything edible.

The two small children only ate porridge without touching the meat, expressing no opinion.

The Xue Family and the Great Princess couldn’t stand it.

The Great Princess pursed her lips, stirring her chopsticks in the bowl, just refusing to eat.

The Xue Family frowned, "Today’s meat porridge doesn’t taste good. Little sister, you try it."

Li Yuzhu was frying a pan of purslane.

She turned back and glanced at them, without saying anything.

This family, old habits flaring up again?

Having enjoyed a day of good food, they started being picky again?

Marinated meat bone overnight is, of course, no match for fresh meat bone!

"You’re just tired of the same taste, it’s time for a change," she said as she placed the finished dish in front of everyone.

There was no table.

The place to serve the food was on the ground.

After clearing the surrounding weeds on a somewhat flat piece of ground and laying down some coarse linen leftover after making towels, there was the "table".

The Xue Family saw the "dish" and almost jumped up angrily.

"This is grass! Li Yuzhu, you’re calling us to eat grass? You’ve gone too far!" The Great Princess huffed angrily.

Li Yuzhu said, "This is called purslane, with a slight sour taste, it has a detoxifying effect. If your stomach feels uncomfortable, eating it is just right."

The Great Princess sneered, "You talk about it like it’s some immortal dish, you eat it first!"
