Chapter 94 Doing good deeds
Jiang Ning nodded, "What's the point of me coiling it if you can't sleep on it? But I can't sleep on it yet, I have to wait until it's completely dry and solid."
When Yang Erdan came back, he was shocked when he saw the kang. Especially since he had been traveling all the way and was very cold. He found that the kang was very hot. If he could sleep on it, he sat on it and changed his position to lying on his back. From above, he let out a comfortable sigh, "Mom, I think it's almost done. This thing is really useful!"
Jiang Ning also went up and sat down for a while, nodding with satisfaction, "When you have a good rest, go to the village chief's grandpa's house, tell him that we have made good things here, and bring him over to take a look."
After saying that, Jiang Ning said to Tian Feng: "You go home with Santie and the others first, and come back in the evening, and bring another quilt with you. Tomorrow I will move the bed out of your house with Santie and give it to you. Make a bed.”
Tian Feng’s eyes lit up. The Kang thing was so exciting that he couldn’t even say no.
In this kind of weather, the village is very quiet, let alone people, not even a mouse can be seen.
Yang Erdan ran all the way to the village chief’s house and banged on the door.
“Come on, come on. Stop filming, we’re going to fall apart!” Yang Youcai opened the door and saw Yang Erdan. He was stunned for a moment and frowned, “What’s going on? What happened?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the village chief's figure appeared behind Yang Youcai.
There were really too many people coming to the village this morning. Either the roof of this house was gone, or the chickens of that house were frozen to death, and a person died in one house. He had not stopped this morning. It was so cold outside, he I can't stand it anymore.
Yang Erdan's eyes lit up when he saw him, "Uncle village chief, my mother-in-law has something to ask you."
The expressions of both the village chief and his son changed.
"What's wrong? What happened to your family again?" The village chief was so trembling that his face turned bitter, and he was about to go out with Yang Erdan.
Yang Youcai hurriedly stopped him, "Dad, just have a good rest at home and I'll go!"
Yang Erdan shook his head, "Uncle Youcai, the village chief really needs to go to this matter."
“What?” Yang Youcai widened his eyes and frowned.
Yang Erdan briefly described the kang, "The kang is very easy to use. It is as big as a bed, with a stove opening underneath. It is very warm. It will definitely not be cold if you sleep on it."
The village chief and Yang Youcai looked at each other, seeing shock in each other's eyes.
Before they could come to their senses, Mrs. Liu hurriedly shouted: "Let's go, I'll go with you to see what is so powerful about it!"
Seeing that his wife could no longer sit still, the village chief hurriedly followed him. Yang Youcai followed closely behind him worriedly.
The group of people arrived at the workshop at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain and were almost frozen to death.
Yang Erdan directly asked them to sit on the kang.
The village chief and his family were all stunned. They touched here and there on the kang and marveled again and again. How did this happen? It's really hot!
"No! If I lie on it at night, I can't even imagine how good it will be to sleep!" Mrs. Liu looked at Yang Erdan excitedly with a longing look on her face, "Good boy, who made this thing?"
“My grandma made it. She said she would give it a try, but she didn’t expect it to work in one go.” Yang Erdan said honestly. The three village chiefs all gasped. At this time, Jiang Ning came out of the house. The three people looked at her with extremely hot eyes, which made her a little scared.
Ms. Liu warmly stepped forward, took her hand, and said earnestly: "Bullshit, I've seen it before. You are the most capable and powerful in our village. Look, you are a widow with so much power." A bunch of children can build such a big yard, send Datou to be a cook, and build a workshop for Erdan."
“Auntie, stop it, stop praising me, I’m going to drift off if you keep praising me! What do you want to say?” Jiang Ning begged for mercy again and again.
Ms. Liu immediately pointed to the kang and said, "I would like to ask you to help me make a kang. Don't worry, I will pay you as much as you need!"
Jiang Ning laughed in his heart, "I don't think it's a big deal. You all know that this is a workshop and the materials are all ready-made. I can serve them to you right away using my materials. Don't worry, Auntie. It doesn't mean that you have to use my materials." But you also know that the adobe made in my home is stronger and more durable than the adobe in the village. There is a hole under this kang, people sleep on it, and there is a fire underneath. If it is not strong, something will happen if the bed collapses. of."
The faces of the village chief and his family changed suddenly, and they all nodded, "You are right, it must be strong, and it will be strong no matter how strong it is!"
Jiang Ning raised the corners of his lips slightly, "One more requirement is that this kang needs to be built with a chimney. Although setting up a kang is quite fast, it still takes a day's work."
Yang Youcai hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. We can start today. I can help with whatever you need."
The village chief came to his senses and said: "I'll go to the village and tell everyone, especially those who have old people and sick people at home. If you can, it's best to put them in bed. Erdan, how are you going to charge for this kang?"
He is in a hurry! I don’t know if I saw a ghost this year. Although it snowed at the same time as in previous years, it was obviously much colder. One person froze to death today, and another person froze to death in two days. As the village chief, he couldn’t just watch. This kind of thing happens.
Jiang Ning had already totaled the expenses and said in deep thought: "My adobe bricks cost three yuan a penny, and a kang costs about fifty or sixty yuan. The chimney can be made of ordinary adobe bricks. They are all from the village. We don't charge much for labor. We hired someone before." To build a house, if you pay ten cents a day, you should still receive ten cents, is that okay? "
The village chief calculated that it would cost almost thirty coins, which was not cheap, but compared to getting sick and dying, it was a great deal. He immediately gritted his teeth and said: "I will go to the village now and ask, Erdan, if the villagers can't get it, Can you use food to pay for that much money?”
Jiang Ning nodded, "It's all fine. Anyway, Da Tou will be the cook and the shopkeeper will take care of him. It's just a bit of trouble, but we're all from the same village. It doesn't matter if we have a little more trouble."
The way the village chief and his family looked at Jiang Ning immediately changed, and they wished they could give her up.
Jiang Ning immediately asked Yang Erdan and the others to help prepare the materials. Yang Youcai was responsible for the transportation. She went back with Mrs. Liu to look at Pankang's house.
The village chief here, with a passionate heart, went from house to house in the village to explain the benefits of kang, and even asked people to go to the workshop to try it. Some people agreed to kang on the spot, while others went to the workshop with skepticism and came back. I signed up without saying a word.
Because there were so many people who signed up, Jiang Ning's family was simply too busy, and it was hard to delay this kind of thing, so they had to discuss with the village chief to hand over the work of making the bed to Yang Youcai, and let Yang Youcai find a few reliable people. Let's work together and strive to allow the elderly, weak, sick and disabled in the village to sleep on the kang within three or four days, and we will do the rest slowly.
The village chief didn’t expect Jiang Ning to be willing to teach outsiders this money-making skill. He was so moved that he burst into tears. “Damn it, the old man, on behalf of the people in the village, thank you! You saved everyone!”
Jiang Ning's face became hot when he was praised, "It's not that serious. I just thought that we are all from the same village. I can't just watch those uncles and aunts suffer from the cold. Besides, this kang plate is not a delicate job. Think about it carefully. Anyone can."
The village chief shook his head seriously, "That's what I say, but before others learn, you can earn at least a thousand cash. This is real money! No matter what, this time the village is really I owe you a favor!"
Jiang Ning smiled and stopped defending.
After leaving the village chief, she quickly urged Yang Erdan to go back to make the adobe bricks, while she went to the old house.
