Rebirth of farming for a living

Chapter 224 Building a House

Mrs. Cheng never expected that Li Qiuyan would be so interested, and she was extremely moved.

I met Wang Congcong in the evening and deliberately pulled Wang Congcong aside: "You have to be nicer to your sister Yanyan."

Wang Congcong didn't know where these words came from. He would have been nice to Li Qiuyan, but he responded solemnly.

In the main room, the Wang family and others are trying the fried noodles made by Li Qiuyan.

Thinking that everyone had finished eating, Li Qiuyan only filled half of the bowl.

"When it gets hotter, the noodles will become more chewy and smooth after being soaked in cold water."

Seeing that several people were eating without raising their heads, Li Qiuyan said.

"I think it's okay. The noodle soup in our store is fine now. I'm afraid there won't be so many people eating it in hot weather." Wang wiped her mouth and was very satisfied with Li Qiuyan's idea.

Jiang Zhe also ate happily and looked at Li Qiuyan with bright eyes.

Li Qiuyan felt a little uncomfortable when he saw it: "By the way, Brother Jiang Zhe, I ordered something from Carpenter Lin. You can bring it back to me in two days."

"Okay." Jiang Zhe agreed without asking anything.

Everyone praised the noodles so much that Wang decided to add this new variety the next day.

"Before going to town tomorrow, go to the old house and get a jar of sauce."

The sauce is used in the store, so it is convenient to just pull a jar.

"You need more bean sprouts, don't forget to tell me."

A few people discussed the matter in a few words.

The next day, the team building the house started.

The crowd first mixed straw with yellow mud, then shaped it into bricks and placed them in the field to dry.

The place is empty now, so you can use it as you like.

Old Man Li actually came over to help. There is strength in numbers and time flies by quickly.

It took more than half a month to dry the bricks. When the bricks were almost dry, the house was built within a few days.

This house is not used for living, so there is no Kang. Several new stoves have been built in it. They only need to be dried for a period of time before things can be placed and used as a workshop.

It was completed that day, and Li Qiuyan prepared wages for everyone.

These days, the Cheng family has been busy with work. Li Qiuyan discussed with his parents and paid the Cheng family the same wages as Wang Daniu.

Cheng didn't want to live or die: "Why are we so clearly separated as a family? According to what you said, if Congcong and Shitou live here, do they still need to pay you for rent?"

Although Mrs. Cheng didn't pay for the room, she always brought things in large and small packages. The Li family didn't know how much of the wild stuff they ate.

But the code is the code, and it was agreed that this was a request for help, and it was not a day or two to help with the usual farm work. Li Qiuyan insisted on giving: "Otherwise, it will be time to harvest the sweet potatoes soon, and I won't dare to ask my aunt to help."

Yes, you can harvest these sweet potatoes right away.

It was a coincidence that the time was running out. Jiang Zhe also brought the vermicelli mold, but Carpenter Lin said it was not worth anything. Wang Daniu had ordered a lot of furniture, so he gave it away for free.

Li Qiuyan looked okay, so he left it alone until he could experiment with it.

She also thought about the vermicelli workshop, and then invited Wang Daniu and Cheng.

Wang Daniu hadn't been back to Wangjia'ao for a while, so he took the time to go back this morning and brought many Lonicera back.

Li Xiangnan also took the opportunity to pick the honeysuckle at home, while the bricks were drying. He and Shang Wang Daniu brought back more than an ox cart could finish.

When Li Qiuyan saw this, he didn't let Wang Daniu unload the car. He piled more of his own on top, jumped in the car and went to town with Wang Daniu.

It doesn't take up much space if you keep it at home.

Shopkeeper Mao was overjoyed to see Li Qiuyan bring so much.

Li Qiuyan originally thought that shopkeeper Mao would lower the price, but he didn't know if it was Cui Zeyu who told him or what, so he accepted everything at the original price.

Now, Li Qiuyan's wallet was quite full.

After calculation, adding in the share given by shopkeeper Hu and the money he had before, Li Qiuyan now has a little less than 1000 taels of silver.

Li Qiuyan was carrying the heavy robe on his back, and his eyes narrowed with a smile.

Coincidentally, just as Li Qiuyan was about to leave, Cui Zeyu came out from behind.

Li Qiuyan was unaware of Cui Zeyu's thoughts, and greeted him happily when he saw him: "Master Cui, you are here."

Cui Zeyu showed a gentle smile. He naturally saw the man moving honeysuckle to the backyard and thought that Li Qiuyan might come, so he came out.

"I did a lot this time."

"Yes, thanks to Master Cui, there are quite a few people growing this now."

Speaking of which, no one paid much attention to the petty quarrel at first, but during this period, everyone was also paying attention to Li Qiuyan's family. Seeing that they couldn't hide it, many people came to inquire recently.

Li Qiuyan simply told the villagers about honeysuckle at the price paid by Wang Daniu.

I see that many people in Lijiazhuang are cutting cuttings in the backyard at the door.

Cui Zeyu smiled: "Don't thank us anymore for helping each other. By the way, is it time to harvest the sweet potatoes?"
