Tanabata Festival did not bring any changes to song Xintong, as usual busy up.
In the twinkling of an eye, it was the tenth day of July.
At the third quarter of Maoshi, song Xintong got up early to prepare for today's groundbreaking.
Mr. Zhang, who was brought by master Hong that day, has been counted. Because of their eight characters and time, it is appropriate to move the earth and build a house in the morning, so they will come here early this morning. After sacrificing and breaking the earth, they will have breakfast first. After breakfast, they will start digging the foundation.
As soon as the pot was boiled with water, aunt Xie came to help. She lifted her sleeve and asked, "what do you do in the morning?"
"I served noodles last night, steamed vegetable buns." Song Xintong said.
Aunt Xie opened the basin and touched the hair inside. It had already foamed. "It's very good!"
"I asked aunt he for old noodles yesterday, or I couldn't have made it so good." Song Xintong counted the number of people, "Auntie, how many steamed buns do 30 people have to make? I'm afraid these noodles are not enough. "
"Where are thirty people? Even master Hong and that feng shui master are only 21. " Aunt Xie said.
"And our own people." Song Xintong asked with a smile, "Auntie, don't let us miss it?"
"Your mother-in-law Qiu, they won't come for breakfast. You just make these masters." Aunt Xie calculated, "to be bigger, one person should have at least two, to be about sixty."
"Can you do this?" Aunt Xie is also worried.
Song Xintong looked at it, "then do it first. If it's not enough, eat the next one."
"That's fine." Aunt Xie looked at the water in the pot and said, "is this for porridge?"
"Yes." Song Xintong added firewood to the hall. "Fortunately, there are two big pots and a small stove at home."
"It's not." Aunt Xie began to knead the noodles. "Fortunately, the foundation of the house is next to the house. Otherwise, your house will have to be demolished, and you can only fry in the open air."
"I've got it all figured out." Song Xintong said with a smile.
"It's also good. The foundation of our house should be built first. The original house is in the middle of the foundation, and then we have to demolish the old house." Aunt Xie was very regretful. "I knew I'd like to learn from you. I chose the open space next to me."
"Hey, I regret it." Song Xintong said with a smile, "it's OK. You can cook at my home then."
"We'll talk about it then. Listen to Uncle Daniel." Aunt Xie put the steamed buns into the steamer and put three or four layers.
Just when Chen arrived, master Hong came with the workers.
Old man Qingshan and master Hong took everyone to worship heaven and earth, and also to worship their grandmaster. That's why the twins went to dig the first hoe.
After that, master Hong led us to the yard of the thatched cottage, sat down around the three eight immortals tables, waiting for the opening.
At the same time, song Xintong's steamed bun was out of the pot, and he brought it out with the porridge, and then put the fried meat and vegetables on the table for these masters to eat.
"Oh, it's just steamed buns with meat. How can you make some meat dishes?" Master Hong looks at Song Xintong.
Song Xintong embarrassed smile, "I'm afraid the steamed bread is not delicious, so stir fry order to add flavor to the masters."
Master Hong doesn't know what she means. "It's enough to have steamed stuffed buns and vegetables. Tomorrow morning, you don't have to make meat dishes. After you do this, I'll lead you to other places to work. What can you do if you have no energy in the morning?"
"That's it. It doesn't have to be so good. Just pickles." The rest of the workers agreed.
"Well, when I'm ready to make pickles, I'll bring some for you tomorrow." Song Xintong responded loudly.
When the workers had their breakfast, they went straight to the homestead.
Song Xintong just began to make the food sold at the construction site at noon, and began to prepare the food for lunch at the same time. Master Hong said, as long as you can eat well, you don't need too many dishes, just a big pot of braised meat.
However, song Xintong did not dare to make a pot of braised pork, but also added cold pork tripe and fried pork liver and so on.
They were all reserved in advance with the butcher's shop owner. The daily order quantity was increased. Less than half an hour later, the butcher's shop owner was willing to take the time to deliver them.
In the evening, they cooked lobsters and snails, cooked wine and vegetables, and added hot sausage. It was only after a quarter past three that the masters went home.
In just one day, one third of the one meter deep foundation has been excavated. In another three or four days, after all the foundations have been excavated, we can start to fill the foundation stone.
"It looks like it will be finished in early August." Aunt Xie said.
The autumn old woman son also echoed a way: "these masters all work hard, also don't drag work, all work hard."
"That's Xintong's food. They all know it well." Aunt Xie said, "at night, after eating the wine and vegetables of snails, they all had a good time. They also said that they would compete with immortals on this day."
The autumn mother-in-law son hissed: "drink so good wine is not immortal day!"
Song Xintong tidied up the room, and finally could take a breath, "Auntie, mother-in-law Qiu, thank you very much today. If it wasn't for me, I would be too busy."
Aunt Xie immediately said, "you are cooking, you have to dig ditches in the paddy field, and you have to receive goods and keep accounts. Are you not tired? It's much more tiring than when we go to the construction site to sell food. "
"I just looked at today's money. Why is it ten Liang more?" For the past half a month, the amount of money earned every day has been fixed. Suddenly, song Xintong was surprised by the amount of money.
Aunt Xie said hastily, "today, the imperial envoy led several officials to our stall to buy food. He was very proud. He gave us ten liang of reward, which was worth our income for several days."
"Official?" Song Xintong raised his interest, "what's your attitude towards them?"
Aunt Xie thought, "it's respectful, but others are also respectful to the imperial envoy."
Sincerely? Isn't he a senior official from Lingnan city?
Are you here to inspect the construction site?
"Xintong, what's the matter?" Aunt Xie asked, "isn't it good for our business?"
Song Xintong shook his head, "no, I just wonder who it is."
"That's good. I was surprised. I thought we didn't want to sell it." Aunt Xie patted her chest, "how many liang can we earn every day? If we don't do it, what can we do without income?"
"No, auntie." Song Xintong relieved, "it's very common to sell food on construction sites. No adult will take care of these."
"Yes, I didn't care about it before." Autumn old woman son says: "now suddenly say can't sell, which have this reason."
Aunt Xie gave a dry smile. "I was in a hurry to think like this."
"Tomorrow Xintong is also at home. I'll go with Dayi and DAHAO. They've started these days. They're very quick. I'll see that it won't be a problem to be a cashier or a runner."
Song Xintong smile, "that line, these days hard aunt."
"It's all your own business."
