Wen Family Has a Wife

   Chapter 124 Drying Room

After tossing the sloping land, the next step is the drying room in the front yard. According to Chen Ningya's design, the drying room has to be built with layers of soil frames. The inside is hollow and the outside is ignited. The wall is a four-sided soil frame. Each layer is about fifteen feet long and seven feet wide. The bottom layer is the hottest, and the top layer is the coolest.

There is an exit in front of the entire drying room. The two doors are open, and the wind blows through the hall, especially the mountain wind at night. Not to mention, the wind is extremely strong. It can collect a lot of water again in the sky, and it can be sealed and put away after regenerating the fire for one day.

  This drying room has been carefully designed by Chen Ningya for a long time. In addition to drying dry goods, it can also handle the endless cocoons. After drying things, you don’t have to keep busy and save a lot of time.

  Wen Youshan knew this, so when the whole drying room started construction, he seldom went out and kept staring at home.

  Huang Ergou teased him, "It's not like you are so concerned about building a house so big."

  Wen Youshan said confidently: "That's because you don't have the ability to fix my drying room, otherwise I wouldn't have to be so troublesome to stare at it every day!"

   "Oh! It's my fault!" Huang Ergou's eyes widened and he became furious.

  Wen Youshan gave him an understanding look.

After the episode, a group of men went back to the intensive construction work, trying to collect the money to finish the work in the autumn, and still make a fortune, especially Sun Laifu, because Ye's medical treatment and medicine cost a lot of money, and his work was more expensive than his work. Everyone works hard.

Seven or eight people spent half a month building the drying room that Chen Ningya wanted. Originally, ten days was enough, but when the fire was repaired, it was found that one side of the soil frame could not meet Chen Ningya's requirements. It took five more days to dismantle and rebuild.

As soon as the drying room was completed, the gongs for the autumn harvest also sounded. After the village chief went door to door, the whole Fushan Village was boiling again. Sun Laifu handed over the 500 pen money he earned during this period to Mrs Ye, exhorting: "Medicine Remember to drink, don’t be reluctant to eat eggs, it’s more important to keep your body healthy.”

Mr. Ye held the five hundred pennies in his hand and nodded heavily, but his brows did not stretch. After the autumn harvest this year, he will say kiss to Sun Qing. Next year, the house will be repaired after the spring ploughing, and the marriage will be married after the autumn harvest next year. All of them would cost a lot of money. Mrs. Ye had the intention to slowly want another child, but she was afraid that Sun Laifu would be unhappy, so she had to endure it. Now that the drying room was up, she could also go to work.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Ye took the things she had saved in the past few days up the mountain and asked about the situation. As soon as she entered the door, she found that Chen Ningya and three little girls were cleaning the drying room together. Seeing how careful they were, Mrs. Ye hurriedly put it down. Something went over to fight, "sister-in-law, just leave me alone."

  Chen Ningya saw that it was Mrs Ye, and said with a chuckle, "I'll dispose of the ash on the shelf first, it's not an important job."

  The surface of the soil frame was luxuriously brushed with glutinous rice slurry by Chen Ningya. After drying, a thick layer of slurry forms a protective film, which isolates the sand and dust. When drying, you can directly put things on it.

   While Mr. Ye came over, Chen Ningya gave her the method of using the drying room and asked her to start work tomorrow.

   Ye Shi couldn't help but respond again and again.

That night, Wen Youshan stepped on the moonlight and used a homemade cart to push a lot of things back from the beach. Now, two cabins have been built in the mountains to temporarily store seafood. Going back to move, rushing to the sea can usually bring back five big baskets of things. These five big baskets have been simply handled, plus the amount of things on the back is quite a lot.

   As soon as things came in, Chen Ningya hurriedly spread out the seafood with a dustpan and put it in an empty room in the front yard to drain the water, so that it would be convenient for drying the next day.

The mountain wind in the autumn night blew all night. When Chen Ningya got up to take a look the next day, she found that the surface of many shell meat was dry, and water would still come out just by pinching it with her hands, but she was very satisfied with it. .

   When Mrs Ye came to the door early, Chen Ningya gave her the job of lighting the fire, and turned around to carry the goods by herself.

As the seafood on the dustpans were transferred to the soil racks, the empty soil racks were filled all at once. Mr. Ye found that the work was not as easy as he imagined. Keep the contents inside so they don't burn.

   On the first day of operation, not only Ye Shi was in a hurry, but even Chen Ningya couldn't accurately control the time. Fortunately, nothing was baked.

In the next few days, the two of them worked together and finally mastered the rules and became more and more handy. After Ye Shi got started, he joked with Chen Ningya: "This work is not tiring, but I can't get distracted. no."

  Chen Ningya gave her a strange look, and joked: "It's like she's been abused. It's not easy to walk away! Just call Hongsha to come and stare."

   Mr. Ye smiled and nodded, his eyes fell on Hong Sha who was busy in the front yard, and sighed: "He is a child with solid eyes, your eyesight is good."

Chen Ningya knew that the people in the village misunderstood that Hongsha was a child bride bought by their family, and she didn't explain it. Anyway, the children would know about marriage in the future, and the people in the village would not come to the door without a wink with Hongsha. How nice to say kiss to Wen Yuanliang.

The days were on the right track, and Chen Ningya started weaving again. The drying room was separated from the backyard by an entire front yard, and there was a door in the backyard. Ye Shi couldn't hear what was going on inside. Even after working in the Wen family for a few months, I didn't find the slightest clue.

   In the blink of an eye, it was another year when the snow fell, and the heavy snow stopped the noise of the village. Last year, Wen Youshan pushed a lot of woodwork because of his busy schedule. This year, he has more free time and started taking orders again.

I thought that there were not many people looking for him to do work, but who would have known that within two months of letting the word go out, he actually received more than 20 orders, and there were also people from the town. It is absolutely impossible for Wen Youshan to do it by himself. He can only call Sun Laifu and the others to help him as before, which is considered to be taking care of his brothers.

   Zheng Cui and the others couldn't be more happy about this, especially Mrs. Ye. It was cold and the drying room was no longer needed. She had no income here. If Sun Laifu could make money, she would be less stressed.

  Sun Laifu also cherishes this opportunity very much. He never slacks off when he works, and hardly takes a break. Wen Youshan knows in his heart that mentioning his salary of fifteen cents is worthy of his hard work.

On the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month, the three brothers Wen Yuanliang had to drive them back with a donkey cart that has been driving for many years. The donkey cart was newly bought this year and was used for transporting goods at the county seat. They are just right.

   They also came back with the profit from the account book from the dry goods store and the annual gifts from several shops.
