Chapter 123： The sound of firecrackers, work started

Chapter 123 The sound of firecrackers, construction started

And when she learned that the date they chose to build the house was so casual, grandma slapped her thigh and said, "I knew it, you two young people don't think too much, how can the date of building the house be so random? Big deal!"

So, I found a Feng Shui master for them, and took the Feng Shui master along to see their homestead.

Master walked around the homestead, nodded his head and said: "The Fengshui here nourishes people, and it is very good to build a house..."

Then Balala said a lot of various precautions.

Zhao Dong watched and listened with a smile, without making a sound. He still believes in Feng Shui, and he has always felt that this is not superstition.

Grandma was not satisfied with what the master said, and then asked the master to calculate a suitable day for them to break the ground, which was three days later.

After seeing off the Feng Shui master, grandma told them to go back to buy hanging firecrackers, and they would put them on the homestead on the day the ground was broken.

Zhao Dong and Sun Mei both nodded in agreement.

Looking at the two, the grandmother looked helpless, and then asked: "Come on, let me ask you, do you know what to cook for the workers?"

This Sun Mei knew that she had asked, and immediately said: "Mother, I know this. When cooking for the workers, you don't have to have meat or fine grains for every meal, but you must keep them full. Let the workers eat well. Only they can work hard, especially the well drilling team, if they work hard, the quality of the wells they dig will be good, and good wells can last for decades without breaking."

Grandma laughed, nodded and said: "Yeah, yes, yes, it is like this. But, there is one more thing to pay attention to, that is, the rice you cook, don't make it too salty, it's too salty, it's summer , just drink more water, and then, I went to the toilet all afternoon and ran away, so much delay.

In addition, although it is autumn now, the autumn tiger is still not to be underestimated, when the time comes, burn more to cool it down..."

Grandma explained one by one, and Sun Mei and Zhao Dong wrote down one by one with a smile.

Sure enough, the ancients said, if there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, the ancients will not deceive me.

Three days later.

In Zhaozhai Village, with the sound of crackling firecrackers, the construction of the Zhao Family House officially started!

Sun Mei used stones to build a simple stove next to the construction site to boil cold boiled water.

Although it is autumn, the sun is still very big today, scorching the earth directly, and it is still very hot to work while staring at the big sun.

In order to prevent the workers from heatstroke, Sun Mei boiled a large pot of boiled boiled rice, and added mung beans and a little sugar.

At noon, I went to Butcher Zhao's house to cut three catties of meat, and bought two fish in a neighboring village, and made some affordable dishes, such as fried pork, sweet and sour fish, vinegared cabbage, tofu with shallots, cucumber Scrambled eggs and cooked a fish tofu soup.

The food is sorghum rice, although it is not fine grain, but Zhao Dong took the sorghum to Xiaoyi Village to shell it a few days ago, so he didn't raise his voice when he ate it.

The most important thing is that the dishes are delicious. They have never eaten such delicious dishes at home, so all the workers have smiles on their faces.

Because there are different seats for men and women, children are also not allowed to sit at the table.

However, Sun Mei left food alone for the two children in the family. At that time, Zhao Cheng and Zhao Ya were holding small bowls, squatting on the stone pier at the door, eating happily.

The aroma of that dish wafted from Zhao Dong's house to the outside.

At this time, the two sons of the Shitou family were squatting at the door, looking in the direction of Zhao Dong's house, swallowing their saliva. Seeing this, Sun Mei gave each of the two children a bowl of food to eat.

They were very happy, holding bowls, squatting beside Zhao Cheng and the others, and started eating with them.

This made Stone's daughter-in-law, Sun, feel even more blush. She was influenced by Mrs. Zheng a few days ago, thinking of Zhao Dong's family that way.

And just when she complained that Zhao Dong didn't lead them to get rich, Zhao Dong asked her man, Shi Shi, to work for him not long after.

At this time, seeing Sun Mei, I felt even more guilty.

As for her, she was already careless, with everything on her face written on her face, so she ran to apologize to Sun Mei.

At first, Sun Mei listened with a dazed expression, not understanding why she was apologizing, but it was not until the end that she understood.

The two of them were from the same village before they got married, and grew up together. Although they were still in their original bodies at that time, not Sun Mei herself, the relationship between the two was indeed good.

Therefore, he smiled indifferently and said, "What's the matter?

Then invited Shitou’s daughter-in-law to come home tomorrow to help her cook.

Wife Shitou immediately nodded in agreement.

The workers work at Zhao Dong's house, and they can eat two meals a day, and Sun Mei cooks for them with all her heart, so that everyone can basically fill their stomachs.

At the end of the day, the workers were very satisfied with what they ate, and they couldn't stop admiring them. They all praised Zhao Dong's family for their ability to do things behind their backs.

Thus, one word spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and in the end, even everyone in Zhangjia Village knew that Zhao Dong's family was really kind to the house builders.

The wages are not only high, Zhao Dongkai pays them 40 Wen a day, and also includes two meals.

The point is that these two meals are not made casually. They can eat meat for their lunch every day, and it tastes good.

So, in Zhaozhai Village, those who wanted to help but were stopped by their wives, regretted their intestines, and scolded their wives at home.

Even Zheng's eyes were red, and he regretted it.

Even working in Wei squire's house, it only cost thirty-five cents a day. It seems that Zhao Dong's family really made a lot of money, with such a big deal!

In fact, it’s not that Zhao Dong is extravagant, but that the people who come to help with the work are all good friends with his family. Zhao Dong’s family has made money selling prescriptions and herbs, so they will naturally recruit brothers, and the wages will naturally be higher. .

—

On the construction site, under Zhang Jinbao's help and supervision, the progress of the house was very smooth.

On this day, Xiu Mu and Zhao Zhitong were having dinner, so they ran to the construction site and diligently brought tea to the uncles.

She can't get involved in the family affairs now, that's all she can do.

After the tea was delivered, Zhao Zhitong discussed with his elder brother and went to play on the mountain.

The main reason is that she wants to dig herbs. The land in her space that can grow plants has expanded, and now she can grow two plants.

When I went to the mountain with my grandfather to collect herbs, I dug Polygonum multiflorum. Naturally, it was only a few years old, and she planted it in the space.

Now that there is another open space, she is thinking about whether she can find wild ginseng. However, this kind of thing is too rare to dig out.

But she is not discouraged at all, it is not easy to dig out, so it is precious. So, he dragged Zhao Cheng to talk to his mother about it.

With Zhao Cheng following them, Sun Mei felt relieved, so she agreed, but still told them not to go deep into the mountains.

Zhao Zhitong responded with all his mouth.
