Chapter 52
This banquet took nearly an hour to eat, and after the meal, Luo Jinxiu brought the prepared fruits for them to continue eating, talking and laughing for less than half an hour before they left one after another, and the only thing left behind was the relationship dear friends.

Luo Jinxiu deliberately invited Shopkeeper Lu and Mrs. Zhang to take a walk around the house.

When Zhao Wancai heard this, he immediately said: "I heard that other members of the Yun family have also visited your new home. Your mother and I came late and couldn't go around, so let's go together!"

Zhao Chenshi also nodded repeatedly, and pulled Luo Jinshu and Luo Jinyu who were obediently standing aside, "Your brother and sister have never gone shopping, let's go together!"

Luo Jinxiu glanced at them casually, and didn't say anything. The people from the Zhao family naturally followed, and it's not that the people from the Yun family didn't want to join in, but they were reluctant to part with the fruits that were rarely bought at home on the table. While they were still hesitating, Yun Jinghao and Luo Jinxiu had already led their people into the yard respectively, and the whole family stopped hesitating and rushed to put the fruit on their bodies.

The new home of Yun Jinghao and his wife was basically built according to the most standard three-entry courtyard pattern in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The circles and so on are all located on the edge of the outer courtyard next to the inverted room, and after passing through the second gate is the inner courtyard.

There are east and west wing rooms on the left and right of the inner courtyard, and there are three rooms on each side. The main room is directly opposite the two doors, and there is a side room on the left and right. One of them is used as a study room, and the other is a warehouse for storing some odds and ends.

Going around the ear room to the back is the backyard, there is a row of back rooms. Generally speaking, the back rooms are occupied by the children of the owner's family, but now Yun Jinghao and Luo Jinxiu have never even had a proper bridal chamber, let alone the children. Yes, it's still early.

The small pond and gazebo dug by the construction team are all in the inner courtyard, occupying about one-third of the huge courtyard. The rest of the area should be reserved for planting some fruit trees, and there is also a large open space in front of the back house. You can also grow some fruits and flowers.

"Your house is really well built! I'm afraid you are the only one in these ten miles and eight villages!" Shopkeeper Lu looked at it all the way and sincerely praised it.

Without waiting for Yun Jinghao and the two to say anything, Zhao Wancai next to him answered, "The house is indeed good, but I'm afraid it cost a lot of money to build it? Jinxiu, I heard that you sold some food recipes. Is it really worth a lot of money?"

Zhao Wancai's face was clearly full of greed, his eyes kept rolling around, and his eyes were full of calculations when he looked around, and Zhao Chenshi beside him also had an expression of envy and hatred.

It's really good for people not to know what to say if they don't hide their thoughts like this.

Whether the recipes are worth the money, just ask shopkeeper Lu himself. After all, he was the one who bought the recipes, and now Baiweijuli has launched those six kinds of food. When preparing the banquet these two days, she still listened to Zhou Xier I mentioned it and said that the business of Baiweiju has been booming recently, and the newly launched food tastes particularly good.

Shopkeeper Lu was a blessing in disguise. Not only did his daughter-in-law and grandson survive, but his business was even improved.

Just now she took the time to glance at the housewarming gift from shopkeeper Lu. It is a pair of jade ornaments of quite good quality. They are safe and worth at least 50 taels of silver. The gift is so expensive, and I guess I am grateful to her for it. A good recipe means.

"No matter how much you sold, the money will be spent after the house is built." Luo Jinxiu replied unhurriedly.

Mrs. Zhao Chen said in a strange way: "Is it really spent? Can't you? Could it be that you don't save some money for the winter? You don't have much land in your hand. Even if you have, you have to wait until next autumn for the harvest. If you don’t have any money during this period, what will you eat and drink?”

"We don't just rely on the seller's money to live. If the money is spent, we can find ways to earn it. Jing Hao is very good at hunting, and hunting more prey can also subsidize the family. No one will starve to death, so I don't need you to worry about it." Now, instead of worrying that we won't be able to survive, let's make sure that Jin Shu and Jin Yu don't go hungry all the time, otherwise you won't be able to tell my father under Jiuquan."

Zhao Chen's face changed after being stabbed by her, and she looked nervously at Zhao Wancai, and as expected, she saw her current man's face darken when he mentioned Father Luo.

No matter which man hears people mention the man before his woman, he will not be happy.

"Mrs. Zhang, I'll show you the wing room. The wing room in my house is quite different from other places." Luo Jinxiu changed the subject in a timely manner, and Madam Zhixian pretended not to notice the ugly faces of Zhao Wancai and the two, and nodded with a smile.

"What's different? I'll have to take a look."

It is common for rural people to build a house with an earth kang, but like Yun Jinghao and the others, they directly built a three-entry house. According to common sense, they should put a stepping bed in the room, right?No matter how bad it is, Babu beds are too expensive, and it is too extravagant to put them in every room. You can buy a few ordinary wooden beds that are relatively cheap and good.

But they went in the opposite direction and actually played the kang in the wing room. Not only Mrs. Zhang was surprised, but shopkeeper Lu also looked at the two of them with a strange look, wondering what they liked.

"Are you...?" Mrs. Zhang was puzzled.

Luo Jinxiu said with a smile: "Actually, this is not an ordinary clay kang, but a fire kang."

"Fire kang?" Mrs. Zhang and Shopkeeper Lu said in unison, "What's the meaning of this? How is it different from ordinary kang?"

Then, Luo Jinxiu explained to them what a kang is, including the fire wall that they can't see the difference with the naked eye, and they were stunned for a long time, and they couldn't recover for a long time .

"You... the kang and fire wall, are they really so magical? Can you make the house look like spring in winter?" Shopkeeper Lu asked incredulously.

After being shocked, Mrs. Zhang also looked at the unusual heated kang thoughtfully, wondering what she was thinking.

"Of course." Luo Jinxiu said affirmatively: "If not, we wouldn't spend a lot of effort to get the craftsmen to build this kang and this wall. The weather is not too cold now, but it will snow soon. When the time comes to light the fire, once the heat from the kang comes up, there is no need to worry about freezing in winter."

"This is really..." Shopkeeper Lu still didn't quite believe it, but he knew a little bit about Luo Jinxiu and the two of them, and knew that she was not someone who would talk nonsense, so he couldn't help but marvel, "I don't know how your brain is so long. Can think of these good things that no one else has heard of, if this heated kang is really so good, I would like to get one at home."

"If shopkeeper Lu is really interested, you can find the craftsmen we hired before. They already know how to build a heated kang. Your daughter-in-law and grandson are still relatively weak. If you sleep on a heated kang in winter, you can try your best to avoid catching cold. .”

"Really? Then I really want to find those craftsmen!" Shopkeeper Lu was overjoyed.

The main house and the backyard are relatively private, so they didn't go shopping. After taking a look at the garden wing, the group returned to the outer courtyard.

The fruit on the table has been swept up by the members of the Yun family, leaving only a few cores, which were thrown all over the ground.

Luo Jinxiu didn't bother to bother with them about these small details.

Send shopkeeper Lu and Mrs. Zhang away first. Zhao Wancai and Mrs. Zhao Chen originally wanted to stay at their house for one night on the grounds that "the distant mountain village is too far away to go back", but Luo Jinxiu flatly refused, and the old lady Li Shuxiu shouted If you want to take home the unfinished meals today, you should choose specially selected meat dishes!

Mrs. Zhao Chen also had the same idea, but Luo Jinxiu didn't want Jinshu Jinyu to eat leftovers. There were still some dishes in the kitchen that hadn't been brought out, so she just packed some for the two families and took them home.

……

On the third day after the housewarming banquet, the first snowfall fell in Shangxi Village. With this snowfall, the temperature suddenly dropped a lot, and everyone in the village changed into big winter padded jackets overnight.

Yun Jinghao also slandered and cursed and started a fire that night when it was snowing. The kang and the fire walls radiated heat together, making the main room where they lived incomparably warmer.

Zhou Xier was taken aback when she came to visit. She had only heard Luo Jinxiu mention the usefulness of a heated kang before, but after actually feeling the heat of the heated kang, the degree of shock was completely different.

"This heated kang is really good! Jinxiu, you are so amazing, you can think of such amazing things! How come I never found out that you are so smart before!" Zhou Xier sighed.

Luo Jinxiu smiled, of course it was because the former Luo Jinxiu was not her.

Zhou Xier's face was full of envy, but she didn't mention that she wanted to build a kang, but it was also because Luo Jinxiu's new home gave her the impression of being 'expensive'!To make the home as warm as spring in winter, I subconsciously feel that it must be very difficult and cost a lot of money.

The life of the Li family is not bad, but it will be Chinese New Year soon after winter, and it will cost a lot of money to buy new year's goods. I am afraid that there is no extra money for this heated kang.

In contrast, the attitude of the Yun family is completely different.

Ever since I had seen the "luxury" of the house on the day of the banquet, the whole family was jealous. These two days, they ran to the house and tried to move in. It is best to settle down once you move in. But Luo Jinxiu couldn't make them happy, let alone without a valid reason, it was unreasonable for them to want to live in the family of their relatives who had already separated.

Let’s say it’s visiting relatives, they’re all from the same village, there’s no need, they’re staying a day late, or something like that, they all live in the same village, they’ll get home after a short walk, and the reason is really false.

Until today, the heated kang was burned in the house, and there were fire walls around the main room. The old lady, Mrs. Zhang and others felt the benefits of the fire wall as soon as they came in, and they said very confidently: "Why is this room so warm? You enjoy it so well." Don’t you know how to miss the elders in the family? Hurry up and get this for our family!”

The matter of giving money was not even mentioned, as if he was going to let Yun Jinghao and his wife pay for it.
