Nongmen sisters and brothers are not simple

Chapter 57 Borrowing Money
After eating and drinking, and everyone dispersed, Xie Fanri saw a table full of empty vegetable bowls, and he had a bitter face.

It was the first time Chuan came to be on duty in the kitchen. He thought he could take the lead in eating his elder sister's cooking. Unexpectedly, the teacher was unfavorable. He was busy washing and chopping vegetables, and he was exhausted.

After everyone had eaten and drank enough, they had to wash a table of dishes. Xie Fanri felt that this was the wrong way to open it.

Xie Fanri painstakingly cleared the dining table, walked to the kitchen with the dishes, obediently went to wash the dishes, he didn't do it himself, but no one helped to do it, otherwise there would be no bowls to serve the dishes tonight.

Xie Fanxing had something in her heart, she dragged Mrs. Zhang into the room after dinner to find out about it.

"Grandma, my aunt's family is short of money." Xie Fanxing asked Zhang.

"They want to make more money. If it is fast, they will rebuild the house this year, and if it is slow, they will build a house next year. Now they are trying to make money." Zhang nodded.

"Didn't I say that this year the tea seeds are picked and squeezed into oil? I guess the two of us can share more than ten taels of silver? Now the prey that uncle catches from the mountains every month can earn five hundred coins every month." .

Why do you let my uncle get up early and go to work in the town late at night, in such a hurry to make money, if his body is exhausted, it's not worth it.

Could it be that the uncle's family wanted to build the house into green bricks and big tiles this time? "Xie Fanxing remembered that after the separation of the two families, Xie's hometown was given to them. Her uncle's house had a newly built thatched roof.

Thatched roofs are inherently not durable, especially after rain and snow, they need to be flipped and replaced frequently.

Her uncle wanted to build a new house, and Xie Fanxing could understand.

"Your uncle and aunt had this idea, and after a round of calculations, they still lost some money. So your uncle went to the town to find work while he was idle farming."

"The uncle and his family want to build a house with green bricks and large tiles. How much money do they need? If not much, after the tea seed oil is squeezed out in autumn and sold for money, I will just borrow it from him."

When Mrs. Zhang heard that her eldest granddaughter wanted to lend money to build a house for her second son, Mrs. Zhang opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything, and sighed silently: "There is still a shortfall of about three or five taels of silver."

"That's not much. My family has all the money. I'll send the money to my aunt later, so that my uncle won't be so tired." Xie Fanxing rummaged through the room and took out a few broken pieces of silver, which totaled about five taels of silver. She followed Mrs. Zhang to her uncle's house.

"How did you get so much money?" Mrs. Zhang knew how much the eldest granddaughter's family had, so she took out five taels of silver and lent it to the second child's family without blinking. Most of them are surprised where the money comes from.

"Don't worry, grandma, the source of this money is clean, it's the money earned by Fanyue embroidering beautiful patterns and selling them to the embroidery houses in the town." Xie Fanxing explained.

Among the five taels of silver was the money they had saved from selling prey these months and what they had saved before, and Fanyue embroidered a pattern and sold it to the embroidery building in the town.

Xie Fanxing was afraid that he would use it later, so he saved it, but he did not expect to use it.

She only left a tael of silver for herself, and lent the rest to her aunt to build a house.

"Fan Xing, you have something to do." Qian just came from Fan Xing's house. At this time, she saw Fan Xing and her mother-in-law walking together, and she asked with a twitch in her heart.

"Just now grandma told me that if my aunt's house needs to be built, there is still a shortage of three or five taels of silver. It just so happens that my family has so much, so I will lend it to my aunt first.

In this way, uncle doesn't have to get up early and late to work in the town.Besides, when building a house by oneself, many things have to be prepared, and uncle's cooking is indispensable at home. " Xie Fanxing stuffed the broken silver in his hand to Qian Shi.

"Didn't your family get the tea seed oil deposit to buy an iron pot? It's impossible for you to save so much money for the prey that have been sold one after another these months. You have no other income. This money is Where did it come from?" Qian was very touched, her family was short of money to build a house, and this eldest niece lent them the money to build it without saying a word, worrying about Zhongzi in both words and deeds, fearing that he would be tired and unable to bear it.

She was also worried that Zhongzi would not be able to bear it, and that he would be exhausted. There was no other way, as long as their parents had a harder time, the children's lives would be better, and they would live more comfortably, right?

"Auntie, Fanyue embroidered beautiful patterns and sold them to the embroidery houses in the town to earn money. Auntie, if we build a house, where will the most money be spent?" Xie Fanxing asked curiously .

"To build a house made of bricks and big tiles, we spend the most on buying bricks, followed by big tiles. As for the manpower to build the house, your uncle and my natal brothers will build walls and build houses. When the time comes, we will invite them to build the house and let them It's enough to pay them a meal with some effort, and we don't need to hire someone to help pay for the labor." Qian explained.

"Then I know." Xie Fanxing said thoughtfully.

Xie Fanxing thought of the brick-making technique in his previous life, it seems that it is not difficult, he can burn the bricks himself, and they can save the money to buy bricks by then.

In the future, it may be possible to use burnt bricks to sell money and make a fortune.

After Xie Fanxing returned home, he began to think about how to make and burn bricks.

"Fanyang, just make me a grid this big, so thick, so long, and so wide." After Xie Fanxing returned home, she thought about the brick-making technique for a moment, and when she had a plan in mind, She asked Fanyang to start making a brick box. After the soil was mixed, it was thrown into the brick box to form it.

Xie Fanxing gestured towards Fanyang with both hands to check the size, thickness, length and width.

"Sister, why are you doing this?" Xie Fanyang asked a little strangely.

"You will know in two days. Fanyang, you can make a few more, I'm afraid it will be used in the future. Fanyue, Fanchen, Fanyu, Fanri, Fanwen, come back with the elder sister to dig some mud with the poles and dustpans .” After Xie Fanxing instructed Fanyang, she called her younger siblings to dig the yellow soil together.

The material for making bricks needs loess with strong cohesiveness.

To make yellow clay into bricks, the yellow clay not only needs to be fine and fine, but must be as good as flour. The yellow clay must be blended very soft and soft. It feels that the mud is very sticky to the feet and it is difficult to move the feet.

Otherwise, this does not meet the requirements for making bricks.

Shangou Village is full of mountains, so there is no shortage of yellow soil. Xie Fanxing quickly found the yellow soil. The siblings dug one by one, and dug a lot of yellow soil to go back.

Although the Xie Fanyue siblings wondered why their elder sister dug the yellow soil back home, they also asked so many questions, one by one obedient, dug a lot of yellow soil to go home, and spread it in the backyard of their house.
