A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career

Time flies and it’s the sixth month of the lunar calendar.

For business in the city, Erlu is responsible for delivering goods, for work in the fields, Dafu is keeping an eye on it, and for chickens, ducks, and oxen, Sanshou and Sixi are feeding and serving them. In this way, Chen Changsheng doesn't have to worry too much.

She checked the peppers in her backyard and they were growing well.

Although the weather is getting hotter and hotter, luckily I set up an awning in advance to prevent the peppers from being exposed to the sun.

Chen Changsheng checked some information and found that peppers generally only take 3 to 4 months from sowing to flowering and bearing fruit. They are considered a very fast-growing vegetable and can be harvested continuously.

If the planting environment can be kept warm all year round and the peppers are not frozen to death in winter, they can remain perennial.

If you want to avoid freezing to death in winter, then don't build a greenhouse.

Thinking of this, Chen Changsheng began to consider the layout of his new home in the future.

She stood up and measured her home from front to back, left to right. The three rooms in front of her, plus the front and back yards, were about 180 square meters.

In the future, we will build five rooms, a kitchen and a warehouse, build a large front yard, plant trees and flowers, and have a large backyard to raise chickens and ducks, build a cowshed, and build a few more A plot of land to grow vegetables.

Calculated this way, it would take one acre of land to go up.

Chen Changsheng originally wanted to build a two-story small bungalow, but the technology of this era did not allow it. Not to mention steel and cement, there were not even prefabricated panels.

Since conditions are limited, it would be fine to build a one-story house with a larger area.

It's better to act than to think, so let's draw a sketch now.

She took out a piece of A3 paper and a charcoal pencil from the space and began to draw the prototype.

As soon as Ms. Liu entered the courtyard, she saw Chen Changsheng busy with his head down, "Sister-in-law, what are you busy with?"

Chen Changsheng called Mrs. Liu in, "Nothing to do, just drawing drawings."

She went to the stove and poured a bowl of water, handed it to Mrs. Liu and said, "Big Mao Niang, what do you want to do here? Is the mosquito coil mold ready?"

"Yes, I revised it many times, and this time I finally got it done." Mrs. Liu said as she took out the wooden mold from the basket, "The mosquito coil can be coiled well, and it can also be made into what you said, sister-in-law. That Tai Chi look.”

Chen Changsheng took it and looked at it carefully. It was very similar to what he found from the bracelet. It should be feasible.

Mrs. Liu took out another ball of yellow mud from nowhere and said eagerly, "Let me try it for you."

This is the first wooden product she has produced, so it is not allowed to be displayed properly.

Mrs. Liu rolled the yellow mud into a large cake, and then took out a large wooden board to press it smoother. She explained, "Sister-in-law, I made this wooden board myself. Although the rolling pin is good, it is not smooth enough. I After trying it many times, I found that pressing it with a wooden board is better, and the mosquito coils are also easier to release from the mold."

Chen Changsheng smiled and praised sincerely, "You did a good job. It will look better after being pressed with wooden boards. When the time comes, you can sell it at a better price in the city."

I didn't expect that Liu would consider such a small detail to make the mosquito coil more perfect.

As long as something is well made and beautiful, there will definitely be no shortage of customers.

After the yellow mud was pressed into a thin and flat piece, Liu then turned the mold upside down and carefully removed it. Two intertwined mosquito coil discs came out.

Chen Changsheng moved the test object to the sun to expose it. "With such a strong sun right now, I think it will be completely dry in less than half an hour. Damn Mao, you really helped me a lot."

Mrs. Liu went to wash the handle, then sat down to drink some water, and said with a hearty smile, "You can't tell me whether to help or not. If you hadn't told my mother-in-law, sister-in-law, how could I have picked up the carpentry work again? Sister-in-law, what kind of drawing did you just say you were drawing? What's that?"

"Isn't the kiln factory started? In the future, if there are bricks, we can build a house. I want to draw a picture now. When the time comes, the workers will directly follow the drawings and build it quickly."

Ms. Liu was curious, if building a house didn't just mean four walls and a roof, and a yard, what kind of sketches would be needed, but since her sister-in-law said that, she must have different ideas.

She couldn't help but ask, "Can you show me the drawings?"

Chen Changsheng generously displayed the sketch.

When Ms. Liu saw it, her eyes widened. Just looking at the drawings, she felt it was very novel. It faced south and was transparent from north to south. Every room had windows.

She pointed at a long strip and asked, "Sister-in-law, what is this?"

"This is the kang. There is a stove underneath. It's cold in winter. If you burn a fire for an hour underneath, the kang will be warm. It won't be cold when you sleep at night."

Chen Changsheng drew a rough sketch based on the memory of his previous life.

"Then what is this?" Mrs. Liu pointed to another house drawing.

Chen Changsheng glanced at it and saw that it was the bathroom she planned to build, with a special place reserved for the bathtub and water outlet.

When the reservoir in the village is built, she will build a water diversion system for her home. The water from the mountains will then flow directly to her home, making it much easier to wash and bathe freely.

Chen Changsheng explained every place to Ms. Liu in detail, and Ms. Liu's eyes sparkled.

"Sister-in-law, how could you come up with such a nice house?" Ms. Liu was very excited after hearing this.

Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "This is how I saw the layout of the old man's house when I went to the city. However, if the house is built, I will still lack a lot of furniture."

"Come to me to build furniture, I know how to do it." Mrs. Liu couldn't wait to speak.

She has been reading carpentry albums these days and has learned a lot of new skills, just in time to practice her skills. Liu is very confident in her craftsmanship.

"Okay, then I'll tell you about my request, and you can help me figure it out. It won't be in vain. Once it's done, I'll calculate the price for you based on the city price."

Chen Changsheng told Ms. Liu all about the Chinese-style sofa, coffee table, sideboard, island table, etc. he wanted, and then drew the basic appearance for Ms. Liu to see.

"That's basically it. If you have a better idea, you can do it." Chen Changsheng believed in Liu's level.

The two of them chatted, and half an hour passed.

The yellow mud under the sun has been completely dried, and Liu easily unmoulded the yellow mud and broke it apart.

Chen Changsheng looked at the intact yellow mud and said happily, "It's really done!"

With this mold, she can start mass production.

"Da Mao Niang, how long does it take to make this mold?"

"I'm skilled now and can do it in an hour."

Chen Changsheng took out a dime of broken silver from his purse and handed it over and said, "You can make nineteen more of these molds, each worth one hundred cents. Here are two taels of silver, take it."

Mrs. Liu was shocked.

It's just a mold, why did the sister-in-law give herself a hundred cents?

If her mother-in-law knew that she had received money from her sister-in-law, would she be punished?

Mrs. Liu wanted to refuse, but with two taels of silver, no one would be tempted.

Chen Changsheng said sternly, "Big Mao Niang, take this money. Your mold has helped me a lot. This is your carpentry craft fee, and you deserve it. If the mosquito coil sells well, you can earn more." "

Mr. Liu cursed, could he earn so much with his carpentry skills?

You can’t spend it all, you can’t spend it all.
