The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 19 Trading without capital

Within two days, the Shiliu family's homestead was cleared, and then the land was rammed.

As the master, Li Jihe and his son Li Rongzong did their part and shouted to the tribesmen who came to help: "Come on, let's pound the ground!"

Among the people who came to Li Jihe's house to help were Li Yishan's second son, Li Jixiao and his son, they waved their arms and shouted: "The ground has been tamped, the ground has been tamped!"

"Those who pound the ground, come here!"

The tribesmen immediately moved upon hearing the sound and gathered here.

Li Jixiao and a few others moved out a simple ram made of borrowed bamboo poles from the village drying yard, and distributed about a dozen hemp ropes tied to the ram to the tribesmen who came up.

Those who got the rope spontaneously stood on both sides of the foundation, with exactly six people on each side.

Seeing the person standing still, Li Jixiao shouted loudly: "I'm talking about brothers, nephews!"

The tribesmen responded in unison: "Hey!"

Amidst the sound of chants, the tribesmen lifted more than 200 kilograms of Luqi.

"We lift it as hard as we can, oh oh oh oh oh wow!"

"The foundation is well laid, wow!"

"The house will never fall down, hey, hey, hey!"

"Who doesn't work hard? Hey, hey, he's a little bitch!"

"I hit the ground as hard as I can, but I'm not afraid of the flood. Ouch!"

"Let's hit hard, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!"

The tribesmen chanted, lifted the ram, and then released their hands - the ram used its inertia to hit the ground firmly, creating a big hole.

After the tamping is settled, it is lifted up again, and the cycle repeats until there are white marks on the ground, and the foundation is considered complete.

Taming the ground is as hard as digging the ground, but because of singing chants, the people tamping the land are always happy and enthusiastic.

The idlers in the village heard the commotion and came to watch the excitement. Children jumped around and sang chants, and the excitement continued.

Shiliu just looked at her father and eldest brother walking in the same steps, making the same movements, and sweating together with the tribesmen who were helping them. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Under the conditions of backward production technology, this spirit of unity and cooperation is really amazing. It's so valuable that it can't be exchanged for anything.

Otherwise, people these days pay great attention to clan. Clan is the root. Only with the root can a person have confidence and not be like duckweed.

While tamping the ground, Mrs. Song took the Pomegranate sisters to make dozens of corn buns and steam them. When the ground was tamped, she took them out in baskets and gave them to those who had washed their hands to eat.

It took a lot of effort for the boss to pound the ground, but everyone didn't care about holding the buns in their hands. They sat on the ground, eating big mouthfuls, and chatting away.

From this location, you can look up and see Li Jifu and Li Jigui working on their homestead not far away.

At the moment, they are still weeding, which is much slower than Li Jihe's progress.

Father Li strolled over from his old house and frowned when he saw the completely different progress on both sides.

The day after the separation, the second child took his son out to buy bricks, tiles, and gravel. The third and fourth children followed him a few times. They managed to get the necessary bricks and tiles, but when they came back, they said they were tired from running. , take a rest.

No, the second child's family was busy weeding, and the third and fourth children lay at home to rest. After the second child's family had prepared the foundation, they were busy weeding. No wonder it was so slow. I think by the time the second child has moved into a new house, the third and fourth children are still building a house!
Father Li shook his head secretly and walked over to urge the third and fourth children to hold on tight.

Li Jifu and Li Jigui nodded in agreement to Father Li, but when Father Li left, they were still the same, as slow as an old cow, and not in a hurry at all.

The weather is getting colder and colder. I really don't want to move. Working here with the cold wind blowing is really not as comfortable as lying in bed!
Pomegranate squatted in the grass shed, a gust of cold wind blew on her face, and her face stretched and stretched, and she felt it was stuck tightly. Winter was coming, and it was time for her face to become chapped and peeled again.

She reached out and touched her face, thinking about the pain of that chapped face, she couldn't help but secretly clenched her hands.

She wants to make money and achieve facial fat freedom!
But what should we do in this short period of time?
Don’t think about big business for now. It’s not about whether you can do it or not. Even if you do it, you don’t have the capital or confidence. The family received a total of fifteen ounces of silver. As far as she knew, a lot of it was spent on buying sand, stone, bricks and tiles. Well, the money here still needs to be settled, it can’t be used.

And buying and selling without capital is just looking for things to sell for money, just like selling chestnuts.

Pomegranate looked up at the mountain behind the village. This mountain had several rolling hills. As far as she knew, there were people in the village who collected firewood to sell, and there were also people who picked up fungi and mushrooms to exchange for money, and occasionally blind cats bumped into them. It's not unusual to catch pheasants, hares, etc. with dead rats.

As the weather gets colder, everyone has nothing to do. Every day, there are many people collecting firewood on the mountain to sell. With so many people collecting firewood, there is really no guarantee that they will be able to sell it (liao).

Pomegranate thought that she should do something that no one else has done.

So, on the second day, while her mother and eldest sister were helping the tribesmen to prepare vegetables and steamed buns, she went straight to the mountain with her younger brother Li Rongzhang.

Li Rongzhang is eight years old this year and can't do big work, so she ropes in him as a companion, while the eldest and second brothers are busy building a house.

The two siblings made noises all the way up the mountain. Li Rongzhang asked: "Second sister, what are we going to do up the mountain with a hoe, basket and hatchet?"

"Who said we are here for fun? We are here to do big things." Pomegranate glanced at him.

Li Rongzhang made a sound, then covered his mouth, "Oh! I understand, let's collect firewood! Second sister, don't worry, I can also carry a bundle of firewood now!"

As he said this, he waved his arm to Pomegranate.

Pomegranate looked at it, curled her lips, and turned over his little head, "You have small arms and legs, are you carrying the firewood or the firewood is carrying you? Come on, we won't collect firewood today, the second sister will help you earn money!" "

"Earn money?" Li Rongzhang's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Second sister, what kind of money do we make? Can we really make money?"

"Of course it's true! When did the second sister lie to you?"

Li Rongzhang nodded hastily, "I believe you! Second sister, after making money, can I also go to the village school to study?"

Shiliu lowered her eyes, looking at her younger brother's eyes full of expectation, and couldn't help but nodded heavily, "Don't worry, the second sister will definitely let you go! Not only to the village school, but also to the Fan family school!"

Li Rongzhang was so excited that he was still a child after all. He jumped up on the spot, waved his arm, pulled Pomegranate and rushed forward, "Let's go, second sister, take me to make money quickly!"

Pomegranate couldn't help but smile heartily. She took his hand and led him straight to the top of the mountain over there.

Two quarters of an hour later, the two siblings entered a bamboo forest on the top of the mountain to the west.

After entering the bamboo forest, Pomegranate crouched and began to glance around. Li Rongzhang followed her like a little tail for a long time and couldn't help but wonder: "Second sister, what are you doing?"

Pomegranate hissed at him, and slowly squatted down, staring at the position of the small slope between the two bamboo clumps in front of her.

The mud here was filled with new seals, it was smooth and tight, and there was still a little bit of feces on the outside. Pomegranate was sure that this place was definitely the right place.
