Next, the family started a series of discussions about the grocery store, and it took more than an hour to finish the long meal. Fortunately, the weather was hot at the moment. If it had been extremely cold, it would have turned into ice cubes. It can even knock out teeth.

The main discussion is the location of the shop. It cannot be at home but it cannot be far away from home, otherwise it will always take up a manpower.

In the end, it was unanimously decided to build another concierge at the courtyard gate, but to open a small door from the outside. This way, no matter whether you are buying or selling, you do not need to enter your own yard, so that your family can maintain a certain degree of privacy, and there is no need for a dedicated person to guard the shop every day. , you can hear it when you shout.

As a result, the already small yard at home may shrink even more.

If you choose a new location to build a new one, you will also have to face the problem of occupying a manpower.

You can't just hire a waiter just for the sake of a shop that is convenient for people in the village.

And the most important point is that the Hua family tacitly understands that some things are really inconvenient when there are outsiders in the shop.

In the end, I decided to build another concierge. It doesn’t need to be big, as long as it can sell things.

Just do what you say. After eating, drinking, and resting, Hua Chengtian and his two sons got busy.

Now that Hua Chengtian is building a house, he can be called a master. There is no house in the entire valley that he has not participated in, except for building a small concierge.

What's more, there isn't much else in the house, but there is enough wood, and there is a thick pile piled in the corner.

With the sons, the father started working as soon as he said it. Halfway through, the two brothers-in-law and nephew got the news and joined in. Even Luo Song, who came to find Hua Yun'ao, also got busy together.

It took a long time to complete a small wooden house before dark. Even the roof was neatly lined with timber. It was then wrapped with a layer of oilcloth, covered with red mud wrapped in withered grass, and finally covered with a layer of red mud. The rubble is made by the villagers in their own kiln.

Speaking of which, I have to mention the Zheng Datian family from another village who know how to make clay pots.

This is also a capable person with a quick mind. Perhaps he is full of hope for life again and his mind naturally moves quickly.

After starting his own business, he not only fired pottery products, but also studied masonry and rubble on a whim. Unexpectedly, he actually fired it, and he really accumulated a lot of it these days.

I heard that the eldest son who went to order rubble said that Zheng Datian's business had been good these past two days. People in Lijia Village heard that he had bricks and rubble and ordered a lot of it from him.

Whether you are building an adobe house or a wooden house, you need materials, especially for adobe houses. The adobe must be prepared and dried in advance, which requires a process that is not available in Huajia Village.

Although there is wood to build a house, the price of the wood and masonry required is not much different. The most important thing is that in the inherent thinking, everyone still feels that the masonry house looks more practical and safer. .

Except for those who were really poor and reluctant to spend money to temporarily build a shed as a shelter, almost everyone who had some money at home ordered some bricks and stones.

Village Chief Li and the men of Lijia Village who had been rescued from the evil beasts almost all bought bricks and stones with the money given by the village chief.

Some people gritted their teeth and bought some, but most of them were roof rubble. The same as Hua Chengtian's idea, as long as the structure of the house is strong and the roof does not leak, then they will work hard to cut down the wood to build their own house, although it may require more time.

Fortunately, the weather is good now, so you don’t have to worry even if you sleep outside. The only thing you need to pay attention to is whether there will be rain, but it is unlikely. Since the floods receded, there has not been a drop of rain for more than two months.Zheng Datian's family did make a lot of money this time. As expected, those who work hard always gain something, so much so that Hua Chengtian couldn't help but sigh.

It has indeed brought a lot of improvement to the life of Zheng Datian's family. Within a few days of opening the grocery store, Zheng Datian bought [-] kilograms of whole grains. It can be seen from his smile that he is in a really good mood.

But this is all a story for later. The house has just been built and the grocery store has not yet been opened.

After covering, it needs to dry for two days. During this period, Hua Chengtian and his sons were busy with the subsequent preparations in the grocery store, such as shelves and so on.

This is his old line of work, it’s not difficult. It took me two days to prepare it. As a member of the family, Hua Jin doesn’t know how to do it, but she can’t be of much help. She poured some tea. It's okay to just grab a tool.

In short, the important thing is to participate!

Naturally, such a huge commotion at the village chief's house could not be hidden from the rest of the village, but by the time everyone reacted and wanted to help, the house had already been built.

For this reason, Hua Qiang, Hua Meng, Meng Cai and others gave Hua Chengtian a lot of looks. They scolded him for not treating them as brothers and for not calling them out on such a big thing as building a house. Hua Chengtian couldn't laugh or cry.

After packing up, it was already the fifth day since the grocery store opened. On this day, the valley was rarely lively. Mrs. Hua and Mrs. Qi specially prepared sugar water to make everyone happy together.

Sugar water is a good thing. Nowadays, everyone who has it has it on hand and uses it, let alone serving it to entertain people.

Many people took the opportunity to go in and change some things or buy something. Those who didn't take many pictures were just cheering.

It was lively for a long time before it calmed down at noon, but everyone was very happy. The grocery store was quite complete, so you don't have to worry about defective items in the future.

I don’t know if it was influenced by the grocery store. Not long after, Dr. Sun’s hospital also opened its doors, and Pork Rong also set up a butcher shop outside his hospital, although there was not much meat in the shop.

With food in hand, Wei Dapeng and his father also picked up the art of wine-making. Although the wine was still being brewed, the shop was also opened.

Not to mention Zheng Datian's brick and pottery shop, which in a real sense opened earlier than the grocery store.

Naturally, the Luo family, which was the richest in materials, couldn't miss the excitement. They opened a cloth shop and sold some miscellaneous items that were not available in grocery stores. There were many people in the family, so they couldn't just eat and not work.

The purpose is not to make money, but to quickly integrate myself into the big family of Huajia Village.

Several shops were opened in succession, and the clever women simply took out the endless vegetables, pickles, and saved eggs and duck eggs that had grown at home and put them directly outside the outer wall of the inner valley. Set up a small stall, where you can exchange items or buy and sell money. It is like a small market.

In a short period of time, the atmosphere in the valley suddenly became a lot more lively. Although the people were still the same, the popularity suddenly seemed to be strong, as if they were back before the disaster. Even the people of Lijia Village who had just entered the valley felt this atmosphere. He couldn't help but show a smile. He no longer looked miserable, and his whole person exuded vitality and hope.

The original intention was just to facilitate everyone, but unexpectedly it brought such an unexpected effect. This was something that Hua Laohan and his family did not expect, but they are also happy to see it.

After this, Old Man Hua started to have a new habit. When he had nothing to do, he smiled and strolled through several shops in the village with his hands behind his back.
