Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine

Qingyan originally wanted to leave after seeing Zhang Chunhua and her daughter off, but she didn't expect that she would stay for seven days.

One was that it snowed a few times during the journey, which made it really difficult to get on the road. The other was that the carriage carriage had to be painted with tung oil after it was finished, because it took a long time to dry on a snowy and cloudy day.

The most important thing is that she is waiting for the full moon night.

Because Chou Chou said that Lingguang Temple seemed to be preparing something, the half-demon abbot transported a lot of things to the underground altar, including various grains and ores, as well as many objects from wild beasts, some were skulls and fangs, and some were Claws, tail, and internal organs.

I'm afraid this is going to be a big move!
So she planned to stay for a few more days to see what was going on there. She didn't have to go to Pingyuan County. Anyway, Chou Chou could use his spiritual consciousness to monitor there. If it didn't work, Chou Chou could also take action to kill the other party.

She was just a little curious about what the other party's purpose was and what the altar was offering.

It just so happened that there was indeed something going on here. Not only did she need to repair the carriage, but she could also help Aunt Zhang Chunhua set up the barbecue stall.

They originally wanted to hang it at the door of the carpenter's shop, but after they went over to inspect it, they felt it wasn't very suitable.

It's not that I'm afraid of affecting the business of the carpenter's shop, but that the carpenter's shop is too close to the inside. There are craft shops on the left and right, and there is an inn and a tavern diagonally across the door. This is a blatant attempt to steal other people's business, which is inappropriate.

So Qingyan gave them an idea to build a shed at the entrance of the town or at the fork between their village and the official road.

Just like the barbecue stalls placed at intersections in later generations, as long as passers-by can smell the aroma, there should be many who dismount after smelling the aroma.

At this time, unlike in later generations, some urban management officials would not allow stalls to be set up. Here, you can set up whatever you want in the city, and no one will care about you as long as it does not interfere with people passing by.

Especially the Zhang family, who are considered to be the land households here. Unlike any outsider who might be bullied when doing business here, they are not afraid of land households. They are all members of the same clan, and they all have the same surname. , there will be some emotion in it.

Afterwards, everyone discussed it. It was difficult to get there at the entrance of the town. The two outermost stores were a grocery store and a grain store. There were often some things placed outside, and sometimes there would be people selling vegetables and chickens and ducks there. Set.

If they settle there, it's hard to say. Someone will definitely have objections. It's better to stay here at their fork in the road. There is no need to occupy the official road. There is an open space to the south of the intersection. Just clean it up and build a shed. .

Just like Qingyan said, if the place is done well, it can be sold all year round. This is not only a fresh product, but also a food.

Some passers-by do not necessarily have time to enter the town. For example, if they do not need to buy anything, they will not stop in a small town like Zhangji Town and rush directly to the next county.

And if they have something to eat next to the dew, and the fragrance is wafting, those people will be greedy after smelling the fragrance, so they probably won't mind stopping and spending some money to buy a bite to eat.

As for the house, it is actually best to directly tell the officials in the town to rent or buy the land. Then you can build an adobe house here.

If you just build a temporary shed, the wind in the northwest is strong, and it will be blown out in a short time.

Zhang Mancang also thought of this, so he went to seek help from his master. After all, his master was a veteran in the town and a craftsman. It can be said that most of the furniture in the town was made by him. Some connections.

It's okay to ask if you can buy this place. After all, it's just an open space.

Nowadays, people usually do business in towns, where land is more expensive, and no one really wants wild land like this on the roadside.

His apprentice wanted to do some business, so of course Zhang Lili would help. Without saying a word, he went to find the official in charge of this area. They made an agreement on the same day and spent [-] taels of silver on about half an acre of land at the fork in the road. Bought it.

Let's say it's cheap, but it's not cheap either. A yard only costs three taels of silver, so it's not expensive at all. After all, the land has a title deed after it's acquired. Whether you want to build a house or not, No matter what you do with the farmland there, it belongs to you.

Of course, Zhang Chunhua couldn't spend this money. After buying the yard, Zhang Chunhua didn't have much money left. She just had two taels of silver left. She still had to live after that.

So Zhang Mancang paid the money directly, and Zhang Mancang bought the land. After setting up the shop and making money, the two families still split it half and half. After all, they both contributed, and it was considered to be taking care of his sister.

It's just that this land will belong to Zhang Mancang's family from now on. In fact, this is the best. The brothers will settle the accounts clearly and there will be less quarreling in the future.

Helping each other is helping each other, but regarding money and other matters, these things must be calculated clearly. If each of them pays half of the money to buy this land, and if the business really gets better or something happens in the future, it will really happen. Contradictory, it's just fine the way it is now.

Once the land is bought, it will definitely be too late to build a house. It is not easy to build a house in the ice and snow now. At least we have to wait until spring blooms.

So I built a shed first, taking advantage of the fact that there are many people walking on the road before the New Year, and I can still make a fortune and live a good year.

Qingyan also went to help when the shed was being built. Her strength was very useful and she could also give some advice.

There were men at home in the village, and they all went to help. It is common for a village to help each other.

Knowing that they were going to sell food at the intersection, these people were also very curious.

Of course, there are also some who have other ideas and want to see how it works. If business is good, they can also learn to set up a stall there.

I thought it would be fine as long as the items sold were not the same, especially for those whose families had some specialty dishes or special skills.

For example, some can make sesame seed cakes, some can steam steamed buns, and some can make steamed buns, steamed buns, noodles and fish. If possible, they can all set up stalls there.

It’s not necessary to build a shed, just get a stove and put a few tables and chairs.

Qingyan doesn't know what these people think. If she did, she would say that it would be better if they went there. If it really develops in scale, it might become a food street.

These snacks are all local snacks. Not only the guests who come and go will like them, but the locals in the town or nearby villages who want to change their taste can go there to eat some.

Moreover, the prices of these things are not very expensive, and most people can afford them.

In this way, Qingyan spent the next few days busy at the intersection with Yi Zhongren, and also gave many opinions.

The bottom of the shed is built with stones, and then the top is made of wood as a support, and then branches are braided and tied with mats.

The straw mats that Qingyan didn't want before were also used. They were put on the roof and covered with tarpaulin and mud so that it wouldn't leak.Then it is definitely not possible to use a layer of mat around it. If you use sheepskin, it is actually better to block the wind, but Zhang Chunhua and the others are definitely reluctant to part with it. After all, buying sheepskin is quite expensive, and it is used to make clothes and bedding. Yes, how can I use it to surround a shed?

And no one can live here, lest it be stolen by others.

In the end, Qingyan came up with the idea to put a layer of mud mixed with grass on the outside of the wall, just like a house in Africa. It only needs a support. The mud on the outside will prevent ventilation.

To be honest, the climate here is similar to that in Africa except that the temperature is lower. It doesn’t rain very often and won’t wash away the mud.

Even though it snows a lot here in winter, it doesn’t rain much in summer.

Their water supply in summer often depends on the water melted from the snow in winter.

After doing this, Qingyan thought that there seemed to be no water source nearby, and she would have to fetch water from the well in the town soon.

When making food, water is also very important. Since this kind of snow water is used here, they can also find a place to store snow water.

Just dig a water storage well behind the house, and then pile the snow in it. When it melts, it will be all water.

When Aunt Zhang Chunhua and everyone heard this, they all gave Qingyan a thumbs up. It was really needed. There was a big puddle in the east of their village, which was very convenient for drinking water, so they didn't dig a well.

In fact, this kind of water storage well is quite convenient. If you are too lazy to go to the puddle to fetch water, it is also very convenient to dig such a well in your own yard.

However, because the land is somewhat frozen, it is still quite laborious to dig the well. Qingyan directly helped in the first few times. After all, she is very strong.

And not only her, Chou Chou also used his spiritual consciousness to help loosen the frozen soil underground.

Fortunately, the diameter of the well did not need to be dug too large, so it took three or four days to dig it out.

We didn't dig too deep, since we couldn't store that much water anyway, and we couldn't dig out groundwater no matter how deep we dug, so we just dug five or six meters deep.

The main thing is to put a lid on it to prevent the water inside from evaporating quickly.

After doing the work for the past few days, Qingyan felt that her strength had improved a bit.

She told Chou Chou about this discovery, "Can my strength be increased through practice? Why do I feel that I can lift at least [-] to [-] kilograms now?"

If that's the case, she can practice more in the future, and maybe she can become as strong as a thousand pounds.

Chou Chou replied: "It should be possible. Didn't you realize that your second brother just lifts weights when he has nothing to do? He is much stronger than your father and eldest brother.

"Although your eldest brother also practices boxing every day, he does not practice strength, so he is slightly inferior to your second brother. Not to mention your father, who is so busy every day that he has no time at all.

If you practice every day in the future, you might really be able to gain a lot of strength. "

Qingyan nodded and decided to practice every day from now on, although there are no barbells and stones.

At first, I was thinking of digging out soil and mud, but now the loess dug out of the well has been put to good use. It was mixed with chopped grass and mud and smeared around the shed. It really killed two birds with one stone.

Fortunately, it snowed only at night these days and stopped during the day, so it didn't particularly affect the progress of their work, it was just a little cold.

However, it doesn’t feel that profound when I’m active.

The shed is not small, and after being covered with mud, it is not that different from an ordinary adobe house. Of course, it is definitely not as good as an adobe house in thermal insulation performance, after all, the walls are much thicker.

Inside, as long as you close the wooden door at the front, it will still be quite warm if you turn on the stove inside.

As expected, there is great strength in large numbers. Not only did the shed be built in a few days, but the extra adobe bricks from several houses were scraped together and a large fire bed was built.

At first I didn't think about the Kang table, I just thought about getting a few sets of tables and chairs inside. When people come to eat, it's fine. After all, it's impossible for people to eat outside in the winter. In summer, it doesn't matter. Just put a few outside. A table will do.

Then these people came up with the idea that it would take too much charcoal to light the stove. It would be better to just set up a big kang. If guests want to eat here, they can just set up a few kang tables on top of the hot kang. As long as they are burned outside, the inside of the house will be full. warm.

In fact, you can also put the barbecue charcoal stove on the other side, grill food there, and burn the kang here.

It's just that the barbecue oven with the kang is definitely not very effective. After all, there are things to bake on top, and the heat is moved upwards, and there is very little going towards the flue, so it is better to burn the kang hole from the outside.

The kang hole outside is not just for single-burning, but also has a large stove. The bottom is burned and the top can also boil some water and other things. It is more convenient for some guests who come and want to wash up or drink some tea.

We all came up with this together, and it is really thoughtful. In this way, we only need to set up the charcoal stove and buy the ingredients before we can open the business.

Because there were so many people, it took seven days to finish everything. They burned the kang house for two days and it was almost done.

The interior was well furnished, clean and warm. Zhang Chunhua and her children did not want to go back to the village and just lived here.

Of course, this is just a thought. After all, orphans and widowed women live at this intersection. Not to mention that others are worried, they themselves do not have the courage.

Moreover, the barbecue they want to make is not like later generations, which only do night business. Here they are all doing business during the day. There are more people passing by during the day. At night, it is basically time to find a place to rest.

In fact, Qingyan has another idea. This half-acre of land is not big, but it is not small at all. Now that they have bought it, and when they make money in the future, they can build a courtyard, have a few rooms in the back, and sell barbecue in the front. An inn can be built at the back to accommodate passers-by.

Although there is an inn in the town, Qingyan used her spiritual sense to explore it, and found that there were not many rooms in the inn. If there were too many people, it would not be able to accommodate them. In fact, it was not a grab for business here.

She talked about this idea with them when she went home for dinner in the evening. They all thought it was very good, and they also imagined a bright future together. In the end, Zhang Mancang almost couldn't help but go and clean up the remaining area. Buy it.
