Rebirth of a Farmhouse with Space

"Dahua, why are you so shameless? You can say anything!"

Dahua smiled while working, "What's the big deal? There are no outsiders here!" The four women chatted and laughed as they prepared breakfast together.

At the time of Chen, which is around 8:30, the guests of the caravan got up one after another. It was too dark last night and they didn't get to see what the farm looked like. Now that it was bright, they realized that this farm called Good Luck Farm was really unique, covering all aspects including food, accommodation, leisure and entertainment, and horse feeding!

Moreover, all the service staff in the farm wear the same uniform, blue clothes with white stripes, and the same blue and white cloth turbans on their heads. Even the men here wear turbans. It may seem strange for one person to dress like this, but when everyone in the farm dresses like this, it doesn't seem strange or inconsistent at all. On the contrary, it looks good!

After getting up, the guests were taken to a special pool to wash. The water used for washing was spring water brought down from the mountain. It can be drunk directly and tastes a bit sweet.

Sister Hua claimed a batch of toothbrushes from Ms. Dong and gave them to every guest staying at Good Luck Farm. She explained to them how to use the toothbrushes and how much ointment to squeeze on the toothbrush. She also said that after using the toothbrushes, guests can take them away. This is a souvenir that Good Luck Farm gives to every guest!

Don’t ask how Sister Hua knows so much. The answer is that Ms. Dong gave the three besties detailed and heartfelt training!

The guests took the toothbrush, but they were not in a hurry to use it. Instead, they confidently moved this magical little object up and down, left and right. Someone asked, "What is the origin of the owner of this farm? Where did he get so many good things?"

Of course, if you ask Sister Hua this question, she won't answer because she doesn't know either.

Squeeze toothpaste onto the toothbrush, then drink some water to rinse your mouth, then put the toothbrush and toothpaste into your mouth and brush vigorously, up and down, inside and out, front and back, and then the tongue coating. The waiter described it in detail, and the guests also brushed carefully. Many people started to vomit while brushing, and they felt embarrassed!

Anyone who has brushed their teeth will have a reaction. They will unconsciously take a deep breath and say, "Mm, so refreshing and smells so good!"

Many people asked the waiter if they could sell them some of the toothpaste and toothbrushes. The waiter would follow what Ms. Dong said, that the toothbrushes and ointments were not for sale to the public!

Hearing this, the guests were still very disappointed, but this was their rule and there was nothing they could do!

After washing up, the waiter led the guests to the restaurant. Last night's meal was too hasty and rushed, and the food was very simple. This morning's meal was obviously much richer than last night. There were white flour buns, fine noodles, green peppers and pork slices as toppings, and a big pot of braised pork, braised eggplant and garlic beans!

This was the best meal the caravan members had ever had since they started traveling together for business. They were all eating with their mouths drooling, feeling extremely satisfied!

After eating and drinking, the manager asked the caravan members to load the car, and he came to Nanchen to settle the bill. Nanchen gave up his seat to Ms. Dong, who took out a small calculator and kept pressing keys on it!

The steward pointed at the strange little box in Ms. Dong's hand and asked, "What is this?"

Ms. Dong replied generously, "This is called a calculator, which is equivalent to an abacus!"

“Is this better than an abacus?”

Ms. Dong didn't know how to answer. She didn't know how to use an abacus, but she couldn't say that an abacus was not useful, so she said, "It's a personal habit. I'm stupid and can't use an abacus. This was brought back for me by my husband when he was out doing business. He thought it was new!"

The manager nodded to show that he understood. He was also a businessman and had traveled all over the world, and there were many good things he had not seen.

However, he was puzzled. The farm had a male owner, so why let a woman do the accounting? The manager was a frank man. He was puzzled and asked. He looked at Nan Chen who was sitting beside him and drinking tea leisurely and asked, "Brother, why do you let your wife do the accounting and manage the money?"

Nan Chen smiled and replied, "Because this farm is my wife's business, of course she has to do everything herself, and I have to be busy with my own business, so I only come over and sit for a while when I'm free."

The manager was very impressed that the couple were both such capable people! He asked casually, "Oh! So what do you do for a living, brother?"

Nan Chen did not answer in a hurry, but led the steward to the official road, pointed to the cement ground under his feet and said, "I am in the cement business. Look, the ground under our feet is hard and flat. Even if the carriage is carrying a lot of things, it is very easy to run. Do you know what this road is called?"

The steward shook his head, "I don't know!"

"It's called cement ground, or road. It's strong and durable, and it can be used for many purposes. It can be used to build houses, city walls, dams, and bridges. I can guarantee its quality. As long as the people who use it don't cut corners, I can guarantee that it won't rot for a hundred years!"

The manager was surprised. No wonder he felt that the road was easier to walk on than anywhere else last night. Even the horses pulling the cement had become very relaxed. Now that he heard that cement could be used in such a big way, how could he not be surprised? "There is such a treasure in the world?"

Nan Chen continued to introduce without arrogance, "Although cement is easy to use, it also has fatal drawbacks. For example, if you want to destroy it, it is very difficult. In addition, cement is disposable and cannot be used a second time!"

"How do you use it?"

"Cement, one bag of cement is 100 kilograms. 100 kilograms of cement should be mixed with 150 to 200 kilograms of sand and gravel, and then mixed with water. The dryness and wetness depend on personal needs. If conditions permit, adding stickers will make it even more sturdy.

As for the detailed usage, all masons know how to use it. However, if it is used in the summer, if the weather is too dry, it is necessary to water it occasionally to prevent the cement from drying out and cracking, which will cause leaks in the house when it rains! "Nan Chen explained it simply and clearly, and the manager was also a smart man, so he understood it as soon as he heard it.

He held Nan Chen's hand and said excitedly, "Brother, my last name is Huang. I have been running a caravan for more than ten years. What I do is to transport things from the north and south to the north to buy, and then transport the goods from the north to sell there. After this business is sold, I will take a batch of cement from you to the south. I wonder how you sell this cement?"

"Fifty cents for one hundred jin. If you buy a lot, I can give you at least forty-five cents for one hundred jin. This is the most favorable price I can give you! However, cement has a fatal flaw in transportation, and that is it is afraid of water. Cement will solidify when it comes into contact with water and cannot be used anymore. Think carefully before you take the goods, and don't do business at a loss!" Nan Chen said this sincerely.

Manager Huang likes to do business with people like this. "I know. The weather in the north is cold. I can only make one trip next time. I'll bring back a batch of cement to test the waters. If it sells well, I'll come back next year to get more!"

Nanchen did not hide any of the pros and cons. Manager Huang was not an impulsive person. Since he had a plan, Nanchen did not say anything more!

When we got back to the farm, Ms. Dong had already calculated the bill. "Accommodation is 30 wen per person, and horse fodder is 20 wen per horse. Forget last night's money, it's because we didn't do our job well. This morning's food is 20 wen per person, a total of 17 taels of silver!"

A caravan of 300 people stayed for one night, had two meals, and helped to feed and take care of the horses, all for 17 taels, which was really very cheap. They had been through a lot, and the cheapest inn they had stayed in cost more than 30 taels, and they didn't eat or sleep well!

Manager Huang said with a smile, "Big sister, my last name is Huang, and everyone calls me Huang Bashi. Let's not talk about seventeen taels or not. We stayed comfortably last night and had a satisfying meal. I'll give you fifty taels of silver, and we'll be friends!"
