After leaving the county government office, Chen Changsheng and Dafu bought some daily necessities at the market. It was already after noon when they returned to Chenjiacun.

She got off the car first at the east entrance of the village, asked her eldest son to drive the car back, and walked towards the old house.

In the courtyard of the old house, Mrs. Chen was knitting something again.

"Mom, what are you busy with?" Chen Changsheng pulled up a small stool and sat down.

"I've seen that the chickens and ducks in your yard have grown a lot, and I'm thinking about getting you a bigger chicken coop to put in the chicken coop."

"Don't worry about it. I asked someone to build a large chicken coop and duck coop in the backyard of the new house." Chen Changsheng continued, "It's just that I plan to raise some rabbits. It would be just right for you to help me build a few rabbit cages." .”

The reason why rabbits are raised is that rabbits themselves are easier to raise. Just feed them some wild grass and concentrated feed.

Secondly, rabbit meat is still edible. Grilled rabbit, braised rabbit, diced pepper rabbit, spicy rabbit head, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but salivate just thinking about it.

Rabbit fur can also be made into a fur collar. When the weather gets cold, you can wear a rabbit fur coat to keep warm.

"Well, my old lady will make sure to make a solid one, and the rabbit will never escape." Old Mrs. Chen agreed.

After chatting for a while, Chen Changsheng finally said carefully, "Mom, I want to borrow Madam Liu for a few days. Of course, I won't let her help me in vain."

Mrs. Chen frowned, "I know your life is easy, but it's not like this. If you have money, just save it, and Mrs. Liu will do me a favor and give you whatever you want."

The old lady knew that her eldest daughter-in-law's family was going to build a big house, and it would cost a lot of money to build the house. She definitely didn't have much money at the moment. As a mother-in-law, how could she still receive money from her daughter-in-law.

The old lady shouted, "Ms. Liu, you don't need to take care of the house these days. Let your sister-in-law help."

Mrs. Liu agreed.

Chen Changsheng took out a thick stack of paper and a charcoal pencil from his backpack and handed them to Liu, and said, "There are several merchants in the county who are interested in red bricks. I have made an appointment with them. Talk later.

In the past few days, you can help me draw some furniture drawings. It would be better if you can make a few more models. I will bring them with you when the time comes, and the order can be negotiated better. "

Just looking at the pictures and thinking about it out of thin air is always unsatisfactory. Only models can make things realistic.

Just like when you go shopping to buy clothes and shoes, the shopping guide will always advise you to try something on. Only when you are satisfied can you increase the transaction rate.

She explained her ideas about furniture design to Liu in detail.

Mrs. Liu's eyes widened as she listened, and she clucked her tongue and said, "Sister-in-law, why are there so many opinions on how to build furniture? What do you tell me to do?"

Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "You can also talk about your ideas. I won't have enough ideas on my own. Just take this paper and pen and draw whatever comes to mind. I'll come get your drawings in three days."

"Sure!" Mrs. Liu nodded solemnly, grabbed a pen and paper and went into the room to start working.

Fortunately, Ms. Cui was still taking care of the work at home, so Ms. Liu was able to get on with it.

Chen Changsheng gave a few instructions and returned to his home.

Next door, Ma Daqiang and Wang Mazi were collecting wood scraps. After working for a while, the two finally finished all the Longgu waterwheels in the village.

The two brothers Tiedan and Dongmei worked together to grind mugwort leaf powder and pine cone powder, and a large group of people were very busy.

"Dafu Niang." Aunt Ma stopped her and handed her a bamboo basket, "These are the snails that Goudan and Dongmei brought back from the river in the afternoon. I don't know how to handle these things, so you can take them. "

Chen Changsheng looked down and saw that it weighed seven or eight pounds, so it was not small.

She immediately thought of stir-fried snails.

On a summer night, with a plate of snails and a bottle of cold beer, the fatigue of a day's work will immediately disappear.

She has been here for so long, and now she wants to take another bite.

Chen Changsheng licked his lips, reached out to take it, and said with a smile, "Then I won't be polite to you. When I finish it, I will give you a bowl."

Aunt Ma waved her hand, "No need, I can't get used to it."

As soon as he got home, Chen Changsheng immediately began to deal with the snails.

The water in Chenjia River was relatively clear, and there was no mud on the surface of the snails. She washed them with water several times, and the dirt on the surface was washed away.

"Mom, what are you doing? Are our family going to eat snails? I won't eat it. This thing has an earthy smell and I can't get used to it." Sanshou's little head came over and after seeing clearly that it was a snail, his mouth A loud sound is output.

Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "Are you really not going to eat it? Mother, do you still remember that when we fried the locusts last time, one person said he wouldn't eat them, but after the locusts were fried, that person ate them most happily."

Sanshou thought for a moment, then immediately changed his mind and said, "I'll eat, I'll eat. Mother's cooking is so delicious, so the snails must be delicious too. I'll wash the snails, mother, you can go and rest."

Chen Changsheng stood up, wiped his hands, got up and went into the house to get some sesame oil. She poured a little oil into the snail water and sprinkled some salt to let the snail spit out as much sand and gravel as possible.

After the snail had finished spitting out the sand, it would take some time to cut its buttocks, and she began to study the stone roller again.

While I was thinking about it, a voice came from the door.

"Dafu Niang, where do you put these tiles?"

It was Chen Daniu who was driving the bullock cart back. There was a cart full of tiles stacked on the cart.

Chen Daniu walked in from the door, "I see that the foundation of the new house is still being dug, and there are so many people. I'm afraid that if the tiles are transported there so early, it would be a pity if someone steps on them."

Chen Changsheng came over to say hello, "It doesn't matter, I made a large open space behind the new house. The tiles will be placed in that open space for the time being, far away from the work place. Besides, there are still a few masonry workers watching. "

"Okay, as long as someone is keeping an eye on it. Then I'll ask others to remove the tiles there too."

Chen Daniu was turning around to go out when he saw two huge stone rollers in the yard and couldn't help but ask, "Dafu Niang, why are there these two big stone rollers in your yard? It's not time to thresh the rice yet, so fast." Are you ready?"

Chen Daniu thought that the stone roller was used for threshing rice, and he took it for granted.

"It's just that the shape of these two stone rollers looks a bit strange. Why are they vertical? I remember that the stone roller for threshing is horizontal, and there is only one stone roller."

Chen Changsheng explained with a smile, "This stone roller is used to grind things." She paused and then sighed, "Unfortunately, it is too heavy and cannot be pushed by one person, even Dafu and Erlu. It’s all hard to push.”

Chen Daniu immediately laughed cheerfully, "I didn't expect that there would be Dafu Niang, but you don't know how to do it. Now my old man must seize the opportunity to show off."

He walked to the stone roller and said, "This stone roller weighs more than a hundred kilograms each. It is true that human power cannot push it, but it can."

Following the direction of Chen Daniu's finger, Chen Changsheng saw the old cow parked outside the courtyard at a glance.
