Chapter 201 Building a Workshop

The next day, the Shiliu family's new house caught fire. Uncle Song and Uncle Song carried the money tree before dawn. After a process, he entered the new house and planted the money tree in the yard.

Many families in the clan and village came to have a banquet with gifts, and in addition, there were also relatives.

This is the same as Jinhuo last year, but the difference is that this time Jinhuo has a few more relatives walking around. Firstly, the Lin family and the Meng family, two prospective in-laws, are here, and secondly, Ding Fuguang also makes a special trip to congratulate him. coming.

The fire in every new house is the same, and there is nothing strange about it. However, the fire in the Shiliu family today is different. Everyone is coming and going to admire the new house, and they are full of praise and surprise!

Shiliu is also very satisfied with the new house she designed and built herself.

I saw only a courtyard wall as high as one person, and a gate leading in, which is a small courtyard. In the middle of the courtyard is a large round pottery vat filled with water, with floating leaves floating on the water, which is quiet and charming.

On the right side of the gate, there are two inverted rooms. There is a staircase going up the wall, which is the pavilion on the second floor of the inverted room. It has a thatched roof and four square fences. There is no cover, and the view is wide. From here, you can see clearly. I saw Qinghe, Shanghe Village opposite and my own village.

The pavilion is simply decorated with wooden boards, a small square table, and four small round cushions. It is very leisurely to relax on it and relax.

Besides, on the left side of the gate, there is also a place for leisure. A thatched roof covers a long, rectangular open room. There is an open small kitchen under the wall. In the middle of the open room, there is a low table. The table with long legs is the place to eat.

Whether you are eating here and enjoying the cool air in the summer, or chatting around the fire at night in the winter, it is suitable.

The money tree is planted in the corner of this open house. Next, there are three rooms in the east wing and three rooms in the west wing on the opposite side. Each room has the same size and layout. The most strange thing is that there are separate clean rooms and toilets inside.

In the middle of the main room is a spacious main room with a long desk in the middle, an incense burner, and a portrait of the God of Wealth hanging on the wall.

The long desk is backed by two chairs, and there are two sets of tables and round chairs on the left and right sides.

There is a room on each side of the main room, which also has a separate clean room and toilet.

There is a corner courtyard behind the main house, with four small rooms on the back wall. Under the left wall is a public clean room and toilet. The back door is opened on the right wall. When you turn the corner, you will find the front door of Shiliu's house.

After the banquet, Ding Fuguang and the others sat in the pavilion on the second floor and drank tea. The clean room toilets in each room can be drained directly, saving buckets of buckets of water. Ding Fuguang was surprised that this place on the second floor The wide field of vision gave him a clear view of the surrounding scenery, which made him nod secretly.

"Sitting here, I don't even want to move." He couldn't help but joke to himself.

Pomegranate smiled and said, "Father, let's stay here tonight. The room is quite spacious."

She was not lying. In the left room of the main house, Mr. Li and Mr. Yuan lived. In the right room, Li Jihe and Mr. Song lived. There were three rooms in the west wing for the three brothers Li Rongzong and three rooms in the east wing. She and her eldest sister share a room, and there is still one room left, while brothers Li Rongzong and Li Rongyu are both in the city, which is equivalent to two more rooms.

Not to mention the four rooms in the corner yard at the back, the original house is enough to live in.

Today, Old Man Song and the others are here, as well as the eldest aunt and the second aunt. Those who are far away don't have to go back in a hurry. They all have a place to stay tonight.

Ding Fuguang also wanted to stay, but he still had things to deal with and couldn't stay overnight. After drinking two cups of tea, he talked to Shiliu about the toilet drainage in this clean room. He also planned to have the opportunity to build such a house for his retirement in the future. , sat there for a while, then said goodbye and went back to Dafengji.

Shiliu sent him away and came back into the main room. In the main room, the leader Li and his father, Song and Li Yishan, were talking to Li Jihe.

Seeing Shiliu come back, the head of the village immediately said: "Pomegranate, the land on the bank of the Qinghe River has been agreed upon by the village and will be sold to your family!" The homestead in the village costs three ounces of silver per acre, but the bank of the Qinghe River is not a homestead. The head of the village is also interested in selling this land. The river bank land is considered as wasteland, and one tael of silver per acre is enough.

Pomegranate had already prepared, and was not surprised when he heard this, saying: "It is important to expand the workshop, let's take measurements now?"

At that moment, a group of people went to the bank of Qinghe River, and many villagers followed them to take a look.

The Shiliu family's house is at the end of the Xishui River, close to the Qinghe River. Walking there, in just half a mile, we reached the point where the Xishui River merges into the Qinghe River.

Pomegranate wants to buy the entire Qinghe River bank, which is from this location to the stone bridge at the entrance of the village. The straight-line distance is more than a mile, and the river bank is about thirty meters wide.

The head of the village asked the villagers to help and start measuring.

After working for nearly half an hour, I finally finished measuring and found a total of twenty-five acres of land.

The head of the village directly wiped out the four quarters of land, and the whole number was twenty-five acres.

Pomegranate immediately brought twenty-five taels of silver to the village chief, and the land on the bank of the Qinghe River belonged to their family.

The land for building the workshop was available, so it was not too late. Shiliu immediately asked the village chief to help and asked all laborers in the village to help build the house. They would pay thirty-five cents a day without food, so hurry up and build the workshop as soon as possible.

The head of the village also knows that this matter is important. If the village is built as soon as possible, the villagers can start working in the workshops earlier. He is very concerned about it now. All the crops in the field have been planted. It is just weeding and catching insects. It is not that busy. Every family in the village can do it. When the labor force came out, they all came enthusiastically as soon as they heard the shouts from the inmates.

Not to mention thinking about building the workshop as soon as possible, just saying that the salary of thirty-five cents a day was enough for them to work hard.

Therefore, the river bank was busy with work the next day, weeding, soil preparation, laying foundation...

Li Jihe took his people to several brick kilns and delivered bricks, sand and stones to the village one by one.

They also invited skilled bricklayers to lead the villagers in the work. With more people, there was greater strength. Within three days, several houses were built on the banks of the Qinghe River.

Building a workshop does not need to be so complicated and fancy, it just needs to be spacious. The houses should be placed side by side, leaving a passage of about six feet in the middle.

After the house was built first, uncle Liu and his son, as well as specially invited people from the next village who knew how to build earthen stoves, immediately took over building the stoves, seamlessly—

The workshop was being built in full swing, and Pomegranate was not idle either. She first asked Li Jigui, Li Jizhong, Li Rongsong and others to drive to Huangkou Town when they were not delivering goods. They would collect eggs and duck eggs from villages in eight villages within ten miles.

The collected duck eggs were sent to both sides, and one side was sent to Li Rongsong's house, where Li Rongbai and his brother and sister made preserved eggs.

On one side, Song, Li Xiangli and Lao Yuan were making pickled salted duck eggs in jars.

As for Pomegranate, he took a day to go to Erli Village outside Luoshui City with Li Jihe.

She was going to visit this village and meet the farmers—
