slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 40
Cang Hai didn't think too much about it. As for Lao Tzu, if he could really crawl out of the grave, he would be very happy. If he had money in his pocket, then he wouldn't let Lao Tzu live a good life for a few years.

The bathroom is done. In fact, the three kilns have almost been dug, and the last kiln is now only left to be decorated. Life there is not as easy as in the village. Not only do you have to cook by yourself, but you also have to bring your own tent.

The newly dug kiln mouth cannot be lived in immediately, and it has to be left for a few days to remove the moisture inside. It usually takes about two or three weeks to move in.

There are only two doors in the three kilns in Cang Hai’s house. One door is the study room, which can actually be used as a guest room. The door in the middle is the living room, and the side door is connected to Cang Hai’s bedroom.

It can be regarded as a three-bedroom layout, but this three-bedroom is a bit bigger.

The new house has an appearance, the rest is the furniture, this time Cang Hai is not going to spend so much money to buy some finished furniture, Cang Hai is going to draw the blueprints and ask someone to do it.

With this thought in mind, Cang Hai’s life became fulfilling. He planted trees during the day, returned home at night and started drawing furniture. As a student of architecture and Guan Qidong’s favorite disciple, Cang Hai’s painting level It is not low, so the furniture pictures he drew are quite recognizable and quite thoughtful. The shape is simple without too much decoration, and it combines some characteristics of Ming Dynasty furniture.

After several revisions, Cang Hai took his blueprints and went to the village to find a master to make them.

It's a pity that the idea is very full and the reality is very skinny. I almost asked all the carpenters in the village, and they all shook their heads and said that they couldn't do it. If they wanted to do it, they modified Cang Hai's design.

Designers generally have a problem, that is, they don't like others to change their designs. If it is Party A, they have to change it anyway, but Cang Hai is Party A himself, so of course he It is a direct rejection.

If you can't get it in the village, go to the county. If you can't get it in the county, Canghai doesn't plan to go to the city. When you go back to the town, you just scratch your head.

When we came to the town, Wen Yiyi happened to be there today, so the two brothers found a small restaurant, prepared some side dishes and chatted while drinking.

Wen Yidao now, apart from his special looks, is already dressed like a young man from Northwest China, with military training camouflage on his body, cotton shoes on his feet, a white towel hanging on the palm of his neck, and a white towel. It's not white anymore, it's a little grey.

"Boss, here's a plate of peanuts. Some are crispy. If they're not crispy, you won't be charged. Two more fried rice!"

As soon as he entered the restaurant, Wen Yiyi yelled at the long board of the restaurant.

The chubby restaurant owner seemed to be an acquaintance with Wen. Seeing him coming in, he quickly walked out from behind the counter: "Mr. Wen, why did you eat so early today?"

"I have friends coming." Wen Daomao pulled a long bench and sat down, stretching out his finger to Cang Hai.

The boss smiled at Canghuo as a greeting, and then turned his face to Wen Yiyi: "The pork liver is fresh today, why don't you have fried pork liver, steamed fish, or a pot of mutton?"

Wen Yiyi listened and thought for a while: "I don't want fish, you don't have any fresh fish here, let's have a mutton pot, put a little more mutton, last time it ran out without a few chopsticks, this time I need to put a little more , I won’t come next time.”

"Okay, okay"

The boss smiled and turned to the door of the kitchen and yelled inside to place an order.

"You kid can do it," Cang Hai said with a smile.

Wen Yiyi picked up the bouquet on the table, picked up the hot teapot sent by the boss, first poured a cup for Cang Hai, then poured it for himself, took a sip and said: "His family's barley tea That's right, I fried it myself."

Cang Hai took a sip and couldn't help but nodded: "It's not bad!"

The tea is bitter and fragrant, and it smells a little burnt when you first drink it, but after the tea has been in your mouth for two times, the aroma of barley tea spreads in your mouth.

"Why did you come to town today?" Wen Yiyi asked.

Cang Hai smiled wryly and said: "The kiln at home has been dug. I don't have any furniture here yet. I designed a set of furniture myself and asked someone to make it. Who knew that after asking around in the town and county, no one was willing to make it. The person who made it will change my picture again."

"Take a look," Wen Yiyi said while drinking tea.

Cang Hai took out the blueprint in his hand and handed it to Wen Yiyi.

Wen Yiyi unfolded it and looked at it for a while, then said: "I didn't expect you to have such an ability, but it seems that it's not too difficult for me to do this?"

"I don't allow splicing at the corners. They need to bake a whole piece of wood. These people are not willing to do it. If splicing, the strength of the furniture will not be high, and problems will occur in a few years." Cang Hai explained. .

Wen Yiyi thought for a while and suggested: "I think you have to send this thing to Shanghai, and ask Qi Yue to help you find someone to ask. Anyway, she has nothing to do all day long."

Cang Hai thought it made sense when he heard it, so he said, "That's right, why did I forget about her being an idler."

Qi Yue joined her father's company after graduating, because she didn't like to stay in the company, so this little princess could work two days a month. It's up to her temperament, so Qi Yue's life in Shanghai can be done as she pleases, she sleeps until she wakes up naturally every day, and after she wakes up, she either plays games or goes shopping in the street, living a chic life.

It's really appropriate to leave this matter to her.

"I'll send it to him later," Cang Hai said.

Wen Yidao said: "Don't wait for the meeting, come now, anyway, this dish will take a while, everything is freshly made, a bit slow, but the craftsmanship is very good."

At this time, the boss came over with a plate of peanuts, fried in shiny oil, with plump peanut kernels wrapped in red peanut skins, and the appearance looked very good.

He took out his mobile phone and dialed Qi Yue's number.

Within two seconds, Qi Yue's face appeared on Cang Hai's phone screen.

"Cang Ergou, there will be no news after you go, right? I have called you so many times, but none of them returned...".

Chu chu, before Cang Hai could open his mouth, Qi Yue suddenly complained.

"Grandma, there is no signal in my village, how can I answer your call?" Cang Hai said with a smile, "It's not just me, it's also there."

Speaking of this, he turned his mobile phone to Wen Yiyi, and while eating peanuts, Wen Yiyi raised his hand and waved at Qi Yue on the screen.

"Let's go, Yi Yi, why are you dressed like this? Cang Ergou, you are too cruel, and you directly turned Yi Yi into a poor and lower-middle peasant? No, it looks like a poor peasant." Qi Yue was delighted when he saw Wen Yiyi's attire. up.

"It's none of my business! He wants to be dressed like this," Cang Hai said.

"By the way, why call me today?"

Cang Hai said: "Am I such a powerful person?"

Qi Yue looked at Cang Hai with disdain and asked back: "Isn't it?"

Cang Hai coughed twice in embarrassment, and then said: "I designed a set of furniture myself, and I want you to help me take a look in Shanghai to see where I can make it."

"You also designed furniture? Show me." Qi Yue asked.

Cang Hai took his blueprint to the screen and showed it. Qi Yue glanced at it and said, "Then pass it on, and I'll ask you for you."

"okay!"

"What did you eat together? Did you drink?" Qi Yue focused on eating again.

Cang Hai said: "Drink a little, and eat simple home-cooked food."

"Hey, Ergou and Yiyi are not here, I can't even find someone to drink with," Qi Yue said with a sigh.

Wen Yi asked, "Where's Gu Han?"

"You guys don't know about Gu Han's crappy unit, working overtime in a different way, seeing this kid twice a month is going to burn the incense," Qi Yue said very depressed.

"By the way, Ergou, I'll come to play with you in a few days. I'm almost bored to stay in Shanghai!"

Cang Hai said, "Do you have any birds?"

"I can kill you without a bird!" Qi Yue was not afraid of this, so he yelled directly at Cang Huo, and Cang Hai had no choice but to admit defeat.

When the food came, Qi Yue was still unwilling to hang it up, so he just watched the food on the table eagerly.Cang Hai had no other choice, so he put his phone on the table and asked her to watch it through the screen, while he ate and drank wine with Wen, and it was a table of three chatting and eating.

Next, Cang Hai and Wen Yiyi talked about the tree planting field and the situation of the forest plantation land. Now the kilns are still being dug there, so naturally there are no trees to plant, but Wen Yiyi is quite clear about the surrounding situation.

When the two were chatting, Qi Yue would interject from time to time and ask a question, and Wen Yidao or Cang Hai would explain. Only then did Qi Yue have a general understanding of the poverty in Cang Hai's hometown.

After eating this meal for two hours, the two of them drank a bottle of liquor before it was over.

When he went to the town and found a printing shop, Cang Hai sent the documents to Qi Yue, went back to his third uncle's house, picked up a donkey cart and went back to the village.

Not two days after returning to the town, old classmate Li Fangfang came with the boss who made the steel frame for Canghai, and three workers came at the same time. The kitchen was built, the kitchen is quite big, about a hundred square meters, and a glass shed was selected, and Cang Hai will plant grapes next to it, so that in summer there will be no direct sunlight to heat people up. .

With the construction of the shed, Canghai’s new kiln project has been officially completed. The next thing is to trouble the master who supports the pots to make three earthen stoves under the shed, two large pots and one small pot. Ceramic pots are used for stewing and soup, and two large pots can be used for frying or stewing rice.

This thing must be done by a professional pot holder. If it is not done well, it will be easy to smoke when the fire burns.

The earthen stove is set up, and the circle of mud wiped in the stove is still wet, and the rest is left to nature to let the mud dry naturally.

Now the project of Cang Hai's new house has been officially completed, the only difference is the ventilation, and there is no furniture.
