Chapter 64 Building a new house
Zhongyang was dragged to the kitchen by Mrs. Jiang to help. The Xia brothers and sisters were still huddled in the corner with eyes wide open. Mrs. Jiang said with jealousy:
"Your sister is so kind to your father! I've never seen her speak to me in such a low voice."
When Zhongyang didn't answer, Mrs. Jiang added: "Your father lives in our house, and these two little boys also share the same pot with us. From now on, the money spent will be more like running water."
Zhong Yang suddenly looked at her intently and said, "Mom, do you want me to stop studying and save tuition?"
Jiang was very anxious: "How could I say that? You have to study, and we also have to have a child in our family!"
She just wants Zhongyang to be on her side. Listening to her complaints, she always feels that now the whole family has separated from her and is siding with Dongsu.
Jiang's resentment didn't completely disappear until the dinner table, because Shen Dongsu gave Shen's father twenty taels of silver on the spot:
"The master of the Ling Mansion is very satisfied with the food I cooked and rewarded me with money. Master A can vouch for my daughter.
Now that there are more people in the family, building a house is imminent. I don’t know how to be a mason, so it’s up to my father to make the final decision on building a house. "
Jiang's eyes shone with joy, and she repeatedly wanted to reach out and take the silver to check whether it was genuine or not, but she was embarrassed.
He just smiled and said: "My Dongsu is really capable! That's great, twenty taels! I can build a three-bedroom house with tiles, and I can buy a cow with the rest!"
Shen Dongsu turned around and took out a piece of sketch paper: "Building three rooms is not enough for living. Father, please take a look. My daughter wants to build a small yard like this.
Whether you and your mother take care of themselves in old age or Zhongyang Linzhong marries a wife, the house will be enough to live in. It’s better to build something bigger once and for all. "
Just as Jiang was about to retort, she heard Father Shen say: "Dong Su earned this money, so just listen to Dong Su. Give this drawing to Dad, and Dad will ask someone to hire a mason tomorrow."
In the next few days, the Shen family was very lively. When they heard that Grandpa Shen was awake, all the old people in the village came to visit.
Shen Dongsu went to the town to hire a car, and Jia Shiba purchased a carload of goods to decorate her small wooden house into a cozy home.
They also pulled out two pieces of fabric for each person's clothes. Ms. Jiang didn't have time to do it, so she asked Sister Ayuan and Sister Damai to do it for wages. The two cousins were very happy to take on the job.
Among them, I bought a wolfskin coat for Grandpa Shen alone. It cost three taels of silver. I didn't dare to tell my family the actual price. They said it was dog skin and only cost a few hundred pennies.
Grandpa Shen wears a wolfskin coat to meet his neighbors every day, not to mention how proud he is.
Father Shen asked someone to hire masons to build a house in front of the cowshed. Neither the cowshed nor the cabin would be occupied. The cowshed was moved to the back garden. When the new house was built, the grass of the cowshed would be pushed out. house.
When rural people build their houses, they hire professional masons, but the small laborers are all villagers who come to help. They don’t need any money, they just provide food.
Jiang was in a very good mood because he had saved money to build a house. It was his first time to be the head of a household in charge of the villagers, which showed Zhang that he was different from the stingy Zhu and Wang Jinhua.
Black flour steamed buns and meat dishes are included in two meals a day. Well, rural people’s definition of meat dishes is that eggs and tofu are considered meat dishes.
For a time, the good reputation of the Shen family's big house spread throughout the villages. When they heard that the big house was going to be built with mud tiles, the second house became jealous.
Because Zhu felt that it was Grandpa Shen's hidden money and secretly gave it to Dafang. She didn't dare to ask for money. She hated acting in front of everyone. The only thing she was afraid of was Grandpa Shen, so she encouraged Shen Dazhi to ask for money.
Grandpa Shen was worried that he would not get the chance to beat Shen Dazhi. He smiled and waved to Shen Dazhi to come into the house. He picked up the hidden stick and beat Shen Dazhi on the head until his head was bleeding.
If Shen Dazhi hadn't run so fast and Grandpa Shen was still ill, he might have broken one of Shen Dazhi's legs!
In this way, the second room no longer dared to come to make trouble, and only dared to send Qing Niu to inquire about the situation. Now Shen Dongsu believed Father Shen's words. When your grandfather comes back, the second wife will stop.
Knowing that Shen Qingniu had beaten Xiaohu and Xiaoman, Shen Zhongyang stopped doing business with him.
No matter how much he broke the news about the family, Zhongyang was unwilling to give him a piece of meat, and even deliberately gave the fat meat to the little black dog in front of him.
Shen Qingniu was furious and wanted to hit Zhong Yang as before, but Xiaohu and Zhong Yang jointly knocked him down and beat him severely.
When Mo Xiujin was taking a bath, he and A Yuan went to the county town to sell candy. This time the business was not so good. The weather was getting colder, so this kind of snack was not as popular as hot food.
Fortunately, all the young ladies and gentlemen in the city became obsessed with Sudoku. It is said that a certain big shot liked Sudoku very much. Under his leadership, all the young people in the county became obsessed with Sudoku.
They buy candy now just for the new Sudoku. Many people take out the Sudoku paper when they buy it, and give the candy to the servants.
Mo Xiujin suggested that instead of selling candy, it would be better to sell Sudoku books directly. A Yuan and Damai were very disappointed. If they didn't sell candy, they wouldn't be needed anymore.
Selling Sudoku copies is not a long-term solution. There is no concept of piracy these days. If you sell one copy today, pirates can sell it all over the world tomorrow.
It was better to start a food business. Shen Dongsu advised the two cousins not to worry, and they all worked together to come up with a new snack.
In the following time, apart from making medicine for Grandpa Shen and his two children every day and preparing nutritious meals for them, Shen Dongsu spent the rest of his time thinking about new business.
Selling milk tea is not possible for the time being. Sugar and milk are both expensive. It is not cost-effective to sell it cheaply in small counties. If it is expensive, no one wants it. Milk tea should be sold in big cities.
It wasn't until she saw sweet potatoes selling everywhere on the street that the price was the same as radishes, three pounds per pound, that she thought about what to sell in late autumn!
Sweet potato powder!
The cost is low, the method is simple, and there are many ways to eat it. Whether you sell sweet potato vermicelli directly or set up a stall to sell snacks, it works!
That day, she pulled out a big bag of sweet potatoes from home and taught Ayuan barley how to make sweet potato flour. Jiang was busy cooking rice and tea for the workers, and she didn't ask much about what the three girls were doing.
That night, the sweet potato powder was hung on gauze to clarify. Shen Dongsu would look at it from time to time until he heard Zhongyang shouting:
"Sister, Xiaoman is missing again!"
Shen Dongsu sighed helplessly. This was another thing she had been worrying about recently. Although Xiaohu was still wary of outsiders, especially since the Shen family was building a house recently, there were so many people coming in and out.
This child was like an excited wild cat, baring his teeth and squirming all day long, as if he wanted to rush in and take a bite from anyone.
Some workers joked that your black dog is not like a dog, but like an obedient child. This child looks like a puppy, very fierce!
Grandpa Shen had no choice but to call the two children to his side. Only by his side did Xiaohu become quieter.
But Xiaoman is different, she is too quiet, so quiet that she is always ignored by others. She is always hiding and loves to hide food.
