Otherworldly Farmhouse
Chapter 92
Tang Anwen turned his head to Mu Feng and showed his big white teeth, which opened and closed a few times: "Mu Feng, don't worry, who am I, I'm your husband, you have to trust me, how could I be This little thing is difficult, so I feel at ease." At this moment, Tang Anwen still had a half-depressed expression on his face, and it was clearly a proud look with a little complacency.
Immediately made Mu Feng laugh, just now he was worried that this kid was in a bad mood, but he didn't expect that Ah Wen would be in the mood to make fun of him now.It seems that Ah Wen is in a good state now, he is a little unfounded, and thinking about it, Ah Wen has always been the best way, how could he be stumped by such a trivial matter.
Tang Anwen was depressed because it was rare for him to be kind, and he was tricked by someone. It seems that it is not so easy for a good person in this world.
As for the water level being too high, Tang Anwen thought of a solution when he came back at noon today. If the water level was too high, he could just raise the foundation of the house.Tang Anwen, who had figured this out, was immediately full of confidence. He could definitely renovate this house to make it suitable for them to live in, and turn the small bargain he picked up into a big one.
Tang Anwen, who had figured out a solution, couldn't help feeling a little elated, thinking that Tang Anwen, a modern person from the 21st century, had never encountered any kind of difficulty.How could it be defeated by mere lake water and humidity! , Soldiers come to cover the water and soil, and see how Tang Anwen solves these troubles one by one.
Mu Feng smiled next to Tang Anwen's ear, with a warm tone on Tang Anwen's ear, which made Tang Anwen's heart rippling, and his ears were so red that they could bleed, Mu Feng looked interesting, so he opened his mouth and bit it lightly .
The startled Tang Anwen almost jumped up, Tang Anwen turned his head and glared at Mu Feng, looking at the guy who did something bad, not only did he not admit his mistake.He dared to smile at him, as if the fish had stolen the fish, and Tang Anwen's teeth itch just looking at it.Turning around, Tang Anwen hugged Mu Feng's neck with both hands, and kissed the thin lips with a particularly obtrusive smile with a vicious look, savoring the good taste in it.
As soon as the kiss was over, Mu Feng hugged Tang Anwen around his waist. Mu Feng saw Tang Anwen's moist and beautiful lips, so he couldn't help but kiss him again.After clearly feeling Tang Anwen's push and refusal, Mu Feng reluctantly let go.They haven't indulged for a long time, but now is obviously not the time, and they are still living in someone else's house, Mu Feng and Tang Anwen really can't do anything too outrageous in Zhang Dafu's house.
Mu Feng whispered to Tang Anwen: "Ah Wen, let's fix the house early and move out from Brother Zhang's house. Living here for so long has already caused Brother Zhang Hong a lot of trouble."
Tang Anwen looked at the sparks in Mu Feng's eyes, as long as he added a little more firewood, it would probably start a prairie fire.So Tang Anwen nodded with a smile and said: "I can't wait. Don't worry, we will be able to move there within a month at most. We have been in Huaishui for so long, and it has indeed caused a lot of trouble for Brother Zhang and the others. After we settle down, we will be able to move there. Brother, let’s give them a generous gift. Alright, Mufeng, now you go to take care of the children. I have to finish the design quickly and make sure I can start work in two days. By the way, Mufeng, go ask Brother Dafu to see where you can I bought a stone, I will go to have a look tomorrow."
Mu Feng nodded when he saw Tang Anwen came down seriously, and then left the room. He went to ask Zhang Dafu, just now he saw that Awen drew some houses on paper, and the houses seemed to be made of bamboo. In addition to the stone, Awen should also need enough bamboo.
Zhang Hong, who was teasing his son and Sanbao, saw Mu Feng coming down, so he asked how Mu Feng was, and if Tang Anwen was okay.
Mu Feng nodded and told Zhang Hong that Tang Anwen was fine, so he asked about selling stones and bamboo. Zhang Hong said after hearing this that he was not very clear about it, and he had to ask the person in charge to find out.But now someone came to look for the head of the house, and the head of the house just went out with someone.But Zhang Hong said to ask Mu Feng tonight. If the head of the family is free tomorrow, let Zhang Dafu accompany Mu Feng to take a look. They have always sold stones in Huaishui, as long as they ask a little bit, they should be able to Understand the market.
Tang Anwen sat on the desk, the brush went up and down and revised, and he rubbed off one piece of good rice paper. He was always not very satisfied with the effect of the painting, as if something was missing.
After rubbing away another piece of rice paper, Tang Anwen put down the brush, rested his cheeks with both hands, and gradually let his mind go blank, thinking about nothing, never thinking about houses or anything like that.Something of interest appeared in Tang Anwen's mind, that is, black cormorants, those cormorants came up from the bottom of the water and struggled to climb up the bamboo raft. Only fat fish.
Tang Anwen's thoughts did not stay on those fish, the picture in his mind was fixed on the bamboo raft, facing the bamboo raft.Immediately, Tang Anwen's eyes lit up. He spread out a piece of rice paper, grabbed a brush and dipped some ink in it, and began to draw quickly, almost without stopping, with one stroke here and another stroke, and soon a sketched black and white building appeared , with edges and corners, looks pretty good.
Tang Anwen took this piece of rice paper and looked left and right, feeling very satisfied. This is the house he wanted, not the dark and gloomy house here.The main body of the house designed by Tang Anwen is made of blue bricks, and other parts are made of wood or bamboo. One is to reduce the weight of the house itself, so as to reduce the pressure on the foundation. The other is to have better lighting. Each room will have a Large windows help to ventilate the house.
Mu Feng watched Tang Anwen come down the stairs slowly, holding a pair of paintings in his hand, looking at the picture was a little strange, saying that he is a family, he actually has a small pier, Tang Anwen even drew a few strokes there as a The surface of the flowing water is so rough that people may not be able to see it clearly, and a few small fish and shrimps are also on the side.
The whole house was painted on the basis of the side, and the whole house at the back opened in a different direction from this house. Tang Anwen pointed to the picture and explained it to Mu Feng, even Zhang Hong who was beside him was also attracted.
I heard Tang Anwen say that wooden piles should be laid, and a platform nine meters wide and 15 meters long should be built in front of the house, and a small pier should be built in the center of the platform, which is convenient for boats to dock.This house is two-story, and the foundation seems to have been raised a lot. It can be seen from the comparison with the house next to it. The room on the second floor faces north. Looking at the window, it looks like there are four bedrooms, and there is a large space on the outer edge. The corridor looks really nice.
Tang Anwen waited for Mu Feng's confirmation, and ran away excitedly with the blueprint. He wanted to tell the details. The picture just now was just the appearance of the house after it was built. Knowing the structure inside, you can't do it at all.
Tang Anwen, who ran away after Zhang Hong saw a gust of wind, looked at Mu Feng and said, "Ah Wen built this house for business, right? It's easy to do, I've heard the head of the family mention that you don't have much money, you can't follow Ah Wen in everything, you have to scold him, he looks like a not very sensible child."
After listening to Zhang Hong's words, Mu Feng said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, don't worry, Ah Wen's face is tender, and he is a little edgy no matter what he says, so he looks very childish. In fact, no matter what Ah Wen does, the regulations It's relatively clear, since he said it, he must have a plan in his heart."
Zhang Hong nodded after hearing Mu Feng's words. What Mu Feng said was quite right, but Tang Anwen looked a little more handsome, fair and innocent, and often played with children, looking like a big child, so It's easy to be uneasy.
After Tang Anwen returned upstairs, he began to think hard about the problem of moisture protection. The foundation can be raised, but there is no good way to prevent moisture. Although he likes the life in this water town, it must not be based on the health of his family. above.
Gritting the brush with his teeth, turning it around, round and round, the brush was bitten by Tang Anwen with a deep ring of teeth marks. Finally, after a long time, Tang Anwen didn't think of a particularly good way, only a more useful way. It may be troublesome in the future, and it needs to be replaced frequently depending on the effect, but these are minor problems for Tang Anwen, and it can be regarded as temporarily solving the problem of humidity.
Next, Tang Anwen began to write the materials on the rice paper, densely packed, starting from stone strips and blue bricks, because it is to build a bamboo house, but the ordinary bamboo house is not enough to keep warm and cold, Tang Anwen plans to use Lin Zuo’s bamboo house The general construction method , That is to use a whole layer of bamboo, and add a bamboo wall outside, so that the bamboo wall of the third layer is thicker, and the hollow bamboo wall should be able to better block the cold and heat.
Next, Tang Anwen and Mu Feng were busy. Zhang Dafu took Mu Feng and Tang Anwen to several stone shops, and soon Tang Anwen ordered a batch of stone materials. As for the blue bricks, Zhang Dafu directly told Tang Anwen that the house The blue bricks can also be disassembled and used, and there is no need to buy them again. The blue bricks are very strong, and there is no problem even if they are used for hundreds of years.
Zhang Dafu took the two of them to find craftsmen. They were all good at building houses. Some of them were good at building bamboo houses. After reading Tang Anwen's design drawings, they all said that there was no problem and they could do it. As long as Tang Anwen laid a good foundation, They can take over, and even the price is quite favorable. Tang Anwen knows very well that the other party is mainly looking at Zhang Dafu's face. Zhang Dafu's reputation and popularity in Huaishui are really good.
After visiting once, Tang Anwen brought the demolition team to the dilapidated old house. When these people knew that Tang Anwen had been scammed, they all said that the owner of the house was not kind and had no reputation. It's very reputable.
After the tiles were removed, Tang Anwen said that their family didn't want them anymore. The people who helped remove the tiles helped Tang Anwen and the others find a buyer the next day. One of the money was distributed to these artisans who relied on labor for a living, and they instantly won the favor of these artisans. The work was done faster, and there was no need for Tang Anwen to urge the guards, and no one was lazy or slippery.
The wood and the like were dismantled, and Tang Anwen gave it directly to the neighbors to make firewood for burning. One would cost money to transport it out, and the other a small favor would also make the neighbors feel better. What's more, regardless of firewood, it is not easy to transport firewood by water, but it is twice as expensive as the firewood bought on the street.
The two of them are busy every day without touching the ground. Fortunately, Sanbao has two elder brothers to take care of him, and Zhang Hong is taking care of him, and Sanbao is relatively well-behaved. These days are going smoothly, and the renovation of the house has not encountered any problems. Too big a problem.
The original foundation was raised by one meter, and a layer of wooden boards painted with ship primer on both sides was laid on it. The old craftsman told Tang Anwen that this thing was moisture-proof and isolated from water vapor. Afterwards, Tang Anwen raised it by half a meter. Let it be empty, and the bamboo boards laid on it can still be disassembled. Tang Anwen also plans to fill some white charcoal in this gap, which is a very good way to prevent moisture. After the white charcoal is wet, lift the bamboo boards and can be replaced.
The bamboo raft erected on the water was the first to be built. The bottom is supported by fire-baked wooden piles. The small pier of ten meters makes it very convenient for boats to enter and exit. Some wood and bamboo are directly placed on this wide bamboo raft. They are all the best, and they are very strong when walking, without any creaking sound, and there is no difference from the ground.
The bamboo house is three meters high. Except for a room on the right on the first floor, there are no rooms or walls, and the rest are supported by wooden pillars.
There are eight bedrooms on the second floor, and there are four bedrooms on the side of the lake. Tang Anwen and his master bedroom is on the right, three meters wide and four meters long. Guoguo and Douzi's room is also in the same layout. The two of them still live in the same room. , the other six are all guest rooms, all three meters wide and three and a half meters long.The roof is also made of bamboo, and the long balcony of about [-] meters is the best part of this house.
If you stand tall, you can see far. Standing on the balcony, you can have a panoramic view of the entire lake. Not only can you see the passing boats, but also the reeds in the distance, and the ups and downs of birds.Tang Anwen also plans to buy a few cormorants when he is free, he can also be a leisurely fisherman.
A month of busy work has resulted in a house that looks pretty good now. Standing on the small pier, Tang Anwen still has a sense of accomplishment. He is the only one who can design such a good house.Tang Anwen turned his head to look at Mu Feng and said: "Mu Feng, how is our house? Is it great? Am I a talented husband? Even trash can turn me into a treasure hahaha..."
Mu Feng listened to Tang Anwen's silly laughter, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. This house is really nice, and it looks good from the outside.The second floor is also very warmly decorated by Awen. The tea room and study are decorated with various flowers and plants. There are seats on the balcony on the second floor. When you are leisurely, you can make a pot of tea and enjoy the scenery.
When the two came upstairs, Tang Anwen pulled Mu Feng to talk about his future livelihood. At present, he has not found any good money to earn a living, so the painting book must not be published again, otherwise he will escape in vain.However, at the beginning of the construction of this house, Tang Anwen thought about it. Mufeng's cooking skills are excellent. He also inspected the restaurants here. As long as there is something special, it will be a huge profit. After time calculation, it is easy to earn more than ten taels of silver a day.
Mu Feng nodded after listening to Tang Anwen's words, so the two locked the door again and went directly to buy various materials needed to open a restaurant.Tang Anwen couldn't help with this matter, he was sent by Mu Feng to find his husband to see if the day would be better and more secure, so they moved out of Big Brother Zhang's house earlier.
Mufeng bought all kinds of pots, tiles, pans and stoves, as well as various seasonings for cooking, some of which can only be bought in drugstores. These are all seasonings from the Muha tribe. The wind has been outside for so many years, and I can always find some seasonings with familiar tastes instead.
Send all the things to the bamboo house, and Mufeng also found a woodcutter, and asked him to send ten loads of good firewood tomorrow. Well, in the evening he is discussing with Awen about making that kind of food.
Mu Feng couldn't think for a while, the main reason is that most of his specialties are beef and mutton, and the cattle here can't be slaughtered casually, but there are sheep, but there are not many people who eat mutton, and the sheep here are mainly fed by rich families. For children, small households prefer to eat pork, and they can't cook mutton well. It smells like mutton, and they don't want to eat it once they try it.
After finishing these things, Tang Anwen's family will have no problem staying here tonight, but they must talk to Zhang Hong and the others about this matter, and invite them to come and see their new home.
Mufeng and Tang Anwen returned to Zhang Dafu's house, and the sounds of Douzi and Guoguo came from upstairs, and there was also Sanbao's wow-wah in the middle. At this time, Sanbao was already seven months old, and he could sit still. It won't fall down at every turn, it can still climb a few steps forward, and it can already scream a few times.
Tang Anwen hugged Sanbao as soon as he walked upstairs, and scented a few on the little guy's face. The little guy immediately giggled, hugged his father's head and gnawed wildly. At this time, Sanbao's lower tooth socket had already grown There is a small tooth like a grain of rice, and this three treasure already has three teeth, so it is a bit hard to chew, and it is quite painful.
Tang Anwen patted his son's chubby butt, handed the three treasures to Mufeng behind him, and began to ask Guoguo and Douzi what they learned today.Zhang Dafu invited several of his children to be tutors. Douzi and Guoguo have been following him every day lately. When they were in class in the morning, they handed over their younger brother to Zhang Hong to watch over.
During dinner, Tang Anwen and Zhang Dafu said that the house had been built, and that three days was a good day, and they planned to move in three days later.
Zhang Dafu nodded after listening to Tang Anwen's words. He must go and see the house. If the living environment is still not up to standard and still damp, Zhang Dafu will never agree with Tang Anwen and the others to live there.He is from the south and understands the severity of rheumatism, and he also thought that Tang Anwen and Mu Feng must not understand it well. The north is dry, and basically few people get rheumatism. Severe rheumatism, which mostly occurs in the families of very poor families.
The next day Tang Anwen took a whole family to his house to see the newly built house. Douzi and Guoguo were very happy. Sanbao didn't understand anything. Seeing his two brothers happy, he also laughed.
Zhang Dafu has been very busy recently. Although he has not found anyone to go to the north, he has met a ship dealer and is discussing about becoming a shareholder or co-author. To be honest, after this incident, Zhang Dafu is still in his heart about continuing to sell goods in the north. I was a little apprehensive, Zhang Dafu was not willing to go out if he could earn money without going out of the city gate, and now Zhang Dafu also understands that peace is the happiest thing, if he dies outside, his family will suffer. How will the old and the young live, and who will take care of them.
Mu Feng stretched out his hand to connect the beans and fruits to the small pier, and then pulled Tang Anwen and Zhang Hong up one by one. As for Zhang Dafu, Mu Feng didn't worry about this guy stepping into the water.
Zhang Hong looked at the house and immediately smiled and said: "This house is not bad, it is not close to the water surface, the bamboo raft is only half a meter away from the water surface, the foundation of the house has really been raised, and the distance from the water surface is even further, not at all. The feeling of humidity makes me somewhat doubt that this house is really what you said at the beginning, whether it is turning waste into treasure, I estimate that this house is worth at least five or six hundred taels."
Tang Anwen, who was at the side, heard Zhang Hong's question and said: "It is necessary. Five or six hundred taels is less. After a few days, I will liven up the popularity of this place, so even if it costs 600 taels, I won't buy this house." Will sell."
Zhang Dafu's eyes lit up when he saw this house. It was originally a house that was going to be abandoned, because if the water town was flooded and he wanted to renovate the house, it would cost too much money.So Zhang Dafu's first sentence was not to praise Tang Anwen's good design, but to ask: "Tang Anwen, how much did you spend on renovating this house, and will it be very cold in winter?"
After hearing Zhang Dafu's words, Mu Feng shook his head and said, "Ah Wen has seen the money. I don't know the exact amount, but it shouldn't be too much." He remembered that they still had three or four hundred taels of silver, maybe more More, he didn't calculate it in detail, and Ah Wen has been busy recently, and he hasn't settled the accounts carefully.
After Tang Anwen heard Zhang Dafu's words, he thought for a while and said: "It cost about 300 taels. I haven't calculated it carefully. I still have 300 taels in my pocket. But I am confident that I can get all the money back before the Chinese New Year. Mu Feng, do you have confidence? The basis of my making money is your craftsmanship. If you can’t do it, then we are finished, and we can only catch fish and sell them to earn some living expenses.”
When Mu Feng heard Tang Anwen's words, he said with a smile: "As long as you can do it, I will definitely not lose the chain. I want to try to make a few things first, and we will decide after you taste them."
After hearing what Mu Feng said, Zhang Dafu said: "You guys are here to eat, it's not that big brother is attacking you, Ah Wen, those stores we have been to, don't look at the business well, they are decades-old stores, people Famous and popular, look here, although the boats are quite frequent, but they will not stop at all. According to the opinion of the eldest brother, maybe we can sell some special products from the north here, or get some tea and pastries, so that those punting boats Let’s take a rest and drink some hot tea. There are some in the North and South Goods Big Brother’s store, so I can give you some first, and after you sell it, you can just give the Big Brother the capital.”
Zhang Dafu was still worried that Tang Anwen and Mu Feng would mess around, he knew that the two of them had never opened any restaurants, even if Mu Feng could really cook some good dishes, but they couldn't become distinctive, how could it be so easy to open a restaurant.
Tang Anwen patted Zhang Dafu's shoulder and smiled: "Brother Zhang, you are right to worry, but I have considered what you said, but the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, as long as I move the wine out, let everyone smell it , Naturally, people will come to cheer, and fame and popularity will naturally come. Don’t worry, Brother Zhang, the mountain people only have clever ideas.” Tang Anwen saw that Zhang Dafu wanted to say something, so he interrupted Zhang Dafu’s unspoken words.
Tang Anwen knew that Zhang Dafu was worried about him, but he was not an honest and ordinary farmer. Even if he hadn't specially studied marketing back then, but based on what he saw on TV and what he had heard, Tang Anwen would also be concerned. Having met a lot of customers, I still understand a lot of the truth. As long as it is implemented, what Brother Zhang said will not be a problem. Of course, the most important thing is that Mu Feng's craftsmanship must be good, otherwise he will be in big trouble.After all, good wine is not afraid of deep alleys, but it is afraid that the wine will not be good. If you take out the alleys and no one will care, this is hopeless.
After Zhang Dafu heard Tang Anwen's words, he didn't say anything. If Tang Anwen and the others really wanted to open a restaurant, at most he would bring his friends over a few more times to find some good dishes for them. The restaurant would always open slowly. get better.If not, Zhang Dafu can only persuade Tang Anwen and the others to move out of the water town. Although it looks good to live here, the water town has all kinds of inconveniences. After Ah Wen encounters various troubles, They will think of the benefits of land, and Tang Anwen and the others will not suffer too much loss if they sell the bamboo house.
Tang Anwen brought Zhang Dafu's family upstairs. After seeing the layout of Tang Anwen's house, Zhang Hong liked it very much. The room was all made of logs, with a cabinet about one meter wide and two meters wide, and a cabinet about 1.5 meters wide. There are wooden beds on the left and right, and there is a small cabinet next to the bed, where you can put some things.Next to the window is a table with a length of one meter and a width of half a meter. There are pots of orchids on the table. The whole room is bright and simple.
The staircase from the first floor to the second floor also has Zhang Hong's favorite place. The staircase is actually circular, and it turns like a circle to go upstairs. It feels very magical, and it actually goes up around a central pillar.Both Douzi and Guoguo like it very much. They are running around upstairs and downstairs, which is very novel.
Even the well-informed Zhang Dafu saw such a staircase for the first time. At that time, Zhang Dafu's eyes lit up, thinking that maybe he could put Tang Anwen's design on the building boat, and those rich kids would definitely like it.He was a little vacillating, whether to introduce Tang Anwen to sell, or wait until after the cooperation.But no matter what it is, Zhang Dafu will not swallow Tang Anwen's salary, he will find Tang Anwen to cooperate, this is the basic integrity of business.At this time, Zhang Dafu also felt that although Tang Anwen was unreliable, no matter the ghost idea was the same as what Mu Feng said, it was not ordinary.Whenever a problem came into Tang Anwen's hands, Tang Anwen would always come up with some weird ways to solve it.
After seeing Zhang Dafu, he also gave Tang Anwen a thumbs up. Although the room is not big, it is well furnished. I believe it will be very comfortable to live in.
After Zhang Dafu saw Tang Anwen's house, he felt relieved, at least there was no major problem living in this house, and he felt quite comfortable.The other Zhang Dafu couldn't convince Tang Anwen, so he could only help after Tang Anwen and the others hit a wall. Of course, Zhang Dafu also looked forward to Tang Anwen's ingenious plan. Happy for them.
Sending away Zhang Dafu and his wife is mainly because the little brother in Zhang Hong's arms is hungry and wants to go back to drink goat milk, so he can't stay here for too long.Unlike Sanbao, who is seven months old now, even if there is no goat milk, there will be no problem feeding egg custard and rice porridge. The little guy is still delicious, and noodles are also optional.
After making Douzi and Guoguo promise not to go downstairs to play, Tang Anwen and Mu Feng returned to the master bedroom, and they took out all the money they had on their bodies. Tang Anwen began to carefully calculate everything from the demolition of the house to the construction of the house, as well as the expenses spent these days. All the money lost, of course, also recorded the money for selling the original redundant tiles and blue bricks.
In the end, it was calculated that Tang Anwen and the others spent more than 200 taels of silver to renovate the house. At this time, Tang Anwen still had about 300 taels of silver in his hands.Adding up all these things these days, it costs about 400 taels of silver, which is much better than choosing a house of 400 taels.Not only is the space larger, but the living environment is also better, and even a relatively large business can be achieved. Otherwise, the shop is too small, and it cannot be used as a restaurant if it cannot be opened.
Three days later, Tang Anwen and the others had bought all the tables and chairs. They had prepared eighteen square tables. The eaves of the balcony were extended by one meter, almost covering half of the bamboo rafts.Even if it rains, Tang Anwen and the others can guarantee that most of the tables will not be exposed to the rain, not to mention that their three rooms are huge, except for a small room and the kitchen, tables and chairs can be placed in all other places.
Mufeng has already bought some ingredients, including mutton, pork, sheep's head and pig's head, and pig's offal. Meat is not easy to come across, so Mufeng also bought some chicken, duck, live fish, tofu, fried tofu and the like.
When Mufeng processed the ingredients and started cooking, Tang Anwen couldn't sit still. Tang Anwen's saliva flooded with the smell of the fragrance, and even the beans and fruits that he hadn't caught while fishing on the bamboo rafts had disappeared. He ran back to the house and waited for his mother to prepare the stew and start eating.
A few neighbors from the next door came to smell the fragrance, and asked Tang Anwen what the family was making, and it was so fragrant that it smelled so good that it went to their home.Tang Anwen quickly chatted with the people who gathered around. There is a two-meter corridor at the back of the house, which is convenient for a whole row of residents to come and go.
Tang Anwen told them that his family was going to open a food shop, and today his wife was stewing the meat, and when it was ready, she would give some to these neighbors, so that they could taste it.
The boats passing through this waterway also smelled the fragrance from Tang Anwen's house at this time. Although they didn't stop, they always took a deep breath unconsciously, wondering what it was that could cook so fragrantly.
Tang Anwen held a bamboo pole, and when each small boat passed by, he yelled at the boatmen, telling them that after two hours, he would have a free piece of stewed meat as a gift, and asked them to promote it on their behalf.When the boatmen heard Tang Anwen's words, they were very curious. The gluttons were already aroused by the scent, and they all replied that they would definitely come later, and they also said that they would definitely help Tang Anwen and the others to promote it.
Some guests who came to swim in the lake simply stepped on the bamboo rafts of Tang Anwen's house. Tang Anwen entertained them with tea and snacks, and asked Guoguo to take out a game of go, teaching these guests who stayed and waited for food to do something.These guests quickly became interested in playing simple backgammon. Although backgammon is extremely simple, they still have some skills in playing it.
Tang Anwen's bamboo rafts became lively in the afternoon. For two hours, Mufeng fished out some marinated meat one after another. Tang Anwen did not have a large portion for each person, but a small portion for each item. Absolutely not full, but people want to eat after eating.Because it was free and there was a small takeaway, even if these people couldn't buy braised pork, they still left Tang Anwen's side in a good mood.
Tang Anwen also asked Mu Feng to put all the extra stewed meat on the plate. The boatman who had agreed earlier was already waiting for Tang Anwen, and Tang Anwen was going to take the initiative to promote his family's food.Tang Anwen and Mu Feng thought that cooking was too troublesome, so they made meat with marinade, plus noodles and rice.The form is a bit like fast food, and it can also be taken out, but there is a small difference between Mufeng and Tang Anwen in terms of pricing. The price offered by Mufeng is relatively low, and the price offered by Tang Anwen is much higher than that of Mufeng. Naturally lost.
Within three days, all the boatmen walking on the water knew that there was such a shop in Qingshui Town. The stewed meat in the shop was so delicious that it made people salivate. In recent days, free meat was given away every afternoon. Although there are not many things, only two or three, but it can definitely reduce gluttony.
At first Zhang Dafu heard that Tang Anwen's free gift was a waste, but when he was on a boat, every boatman would mention to them Tang Anwen's restaurant called Tang's Braised Meat Restaurant. Zhang Dafu had to pay attention to it. Didn't do it, and actually brought up the reputation first, and didn't go down to those decades-old shops nearby. As for whether Tang Anwen's family can make money, Zhang Dafu also began to look forward to it from this moment. What new tricks can Tang Anwen come up with? After all, these boatmen will mention at this time that it is free. When Tang Anwen is no longer free, how many people will be willing to spend money to buy meat.
Many people think that Tang Anwen and the others are too stupid to go bankrupt before starting this business. In fact, in Qingshui Town, many neighbors of Tang Anwen and his family did not say anything to Tang Anwen and the others in person. Laughed countless silly.
Douzi and Guoguo have heard it many times, but they have nothing to do. Although the family is a bit busy these days, Tang Anwen has not forgotten to find a wife for Guoguo and Douzi. Fortunately, he never thought that in front of this row of houses, There was actually a teacher, and more than 20 nearby children were studying there. Douzi and Guoguo were sent there, and Tang Anwen would pick them up on time whether it was going to school or after school.
Three Treasures are taken by Tang Anwen every day, and Mufeng is busy and has no time. Tang Anwen is thinking of finding a few people to help at home, otherwise Mufeng can't be busy alone. There is no need to scrub anything. If it is really opened, someone will always clean up the dishes, tables and chairs after the guests eat.
Just as Tang Anwen was thinking, it was already time for Douzi and Guoguo to leave class. Tang Anwen walked towards the school with the three treasures in one hand. The corridor of about two meters is not wide, but it has the characteristics of people on the water. Tang Anwen is currently aware of everything. I am very satisfied. Of course, being too busy is just a small matter, not a big worry, and it can be solved by asking someone.
When seeing the two children, Tang Anwen's complexion was not very good. It turned out that Guoguo's eyes were red, obviously from crying.Tang Anwen immediately knelt down and asked Douzi what happened, why his brother was crying, and who bullied them.
Immediately made Mu Feng laugh, just now he was worried that this kid was in a bad mood, but he didn't expect that Ah Wen would be in the mood to make fun of him now.It seems that Ah Wen is in a good state now, he is a little unfounded, and thinking about it, Ah Wen has always been the best way, how could he be stumped by such a trivial matter.
Tang Anwen was depressed because it was rare for him to be kind, and he was tricked by someone. It seems that it is not so easy for a good person in this world.
As for the water level being too high, Tang Anwen thought of a solution when he came back at noon today. If the water level was too high, he could just raise the foundation of the house.Tang Anwen, who had figured this out, was immediately full of confidence. He could definitely renovate this house to make it suitable for them to live in, and turn the small bargain he picked up into a big one.
Tang Anwen, who had figured out a solution, couldn't help feeling a little elated, thinking that Tang Anwen, a modern person from the 21st century, had never encountered any kind of difficulty.How could it be defeated by mere lake water and humidity! , Soldiers come to cover the water and soil, and see how Tang Anwen solves these troubles one by one.
Mu Feng smiled next to Tang Anwen's ear, with a warm tone on Tang Anwen's ear, which made Tang Anwen's heart rippling, and his ears were so red that they could bleed, Mu Feng looked interesting, so he opened his mouth and bit it lightly .
The startled Tang Anwen almost jumped up, Tang Anwen turned his head and glared at Mu Feng, looking at the guy who did something bad, not only did he not admit his mistake.He dared to smile at him, as if the fish had stolen the fish, and Tang Anwen's teeth itch just looking at it.Turning around, Tang Anwen hugged Mu Feng's neck with both hands, and kissed the thin lips with a particularly obtrusive smile with a vicious look, savoring the good taste in it.
As soon as the kiss was over, Mu Feng hugged Tang Anwen around his waist. Mu Feng saw Tang Anwen's moist and beautiful lips, so he couldn't help but kiss him again.After clearly feeling Tang Anwen's push and refusal, Mu Feng reluctantly let go.They haven't indulged for a long time, but now is obviously not the time, and they are still living in someone else's house, Mu Feng and Tang Anwen really can't do anything too outrageous in Zhang Dafu's house.
Mu Feng whispered to Tang Anwen: "Ah Wen, let's fix the house early and move out from Brother Zhang's house. Living here for so long has already caused Brother Zhang Hong a lot of trouble."
Tang Anwen looked at the sparks in Mu Feng's eyes, as long as he added a little more firewood, it would probably start a prairie fire.So Tang Anwen nodded with a smile and said: "I can't wait. Don't worry, we will be able to move there within a month at most. We have been in Huaishui for so long, and it has indeed caused a lot of trouble for Brother Zhang and the others. After we settle down, we will be able to move there. Brother, let’s give them a generous gift. Alright, Mufeng, now you go to take care of the children. I have to finish the design quickly and make sure I can start work in two days. By the way, Mufeng, go ask Brother Dafu to see where you can I bought a stone, I will go to have a look tomorrow."
Mu Feng nodded when he saw Tang Anwen came down seriously, and then left the room. He went to ask Zhang Dafu, just now he saw that Awen drew some houses on paper, and the houses seemed to be made of bamboo. In addition to the stone, Awen should also need enough bamboo.
Zhang Hong, who was teasing his son and Sanbao, saw Mu Feng coming down, so he asked how Mu Feng was, and if Tang Anwen was okay.
Mu Feng nodded and told Zhang Hong that Tang Anwen was fine, so he asked about selling stones and bamboo. Zhang Hong said after hearing this that he was not very clear about it, and he had to ask the person in charge to find out.But now someone came to look for the head of the house, and the head of the house just went out with someone.But Zhang Hong said to ask Mu Feng tonight. If the head of the family is free tomorrow, let Zhang Dafu accompany Mu Feng to take a look. They have always sold stones in Huaishui, as long as they ask a little bit, they should be able to Understand the market.
Tang Anwen sat on the desk, the brush went up and down and revised, and he rubbed off one piece of good rice paper. He was always not very satisfied with the effect of the painting, as if something was missing.
After rubbing away another piece of rice paper, Tang Anwen put down the brush, rested his cheeks with both hands, and gradually let his mind go blank, thinking about nothing, never thinking about houses or anything like that.Something of interest appeared in Tang Anwen's mind, that is, black cormorants, those cormorants came up from the bottom of the water and struggled to climb up the bamboo raft. Only fat fish.
Tang Anwen's thoughts did not stay on those fish, the picture in his mind was fixed on the bamboo raft, facing the bamboo raft.Immediately, Tang Anwen's eyes lit up. He spread out a piece of rice paper, grabbed a brush and dipped some ink in it, and began to draw quickly, almost without stopping, with one stroke here and another stroke, and soon a sketched black and white building appeared , with edges and corners, looks pretty good.
Tang Anwen took this piece of rice paper and looked left and right, feeling very satisfied. This is the house he wanted, not the dark and gloomy house here.The main body of the house designed by Tang Anwen is made of blue bricks, and other parts are made of wood or bamboo. One is to reduce the weight of the house itself, so as to reduce the pressure on the foundation. The other is to have better lighting. Each room will have a Large windows help to ventilate the house.
Mu Feng watched Tang Anwen come down the stairs slowly, holding a pair of paintings in his hand, looking at the picture was a little strange, saying that he is a family, he actually has a small pier, Tang Anwen even drew a few strokes there as a The surface of the flowing water is so rough that people may not be able to see it clearly, and a few small fish and shrimps are also on the side.
The whole house was painted on the basis of the side, and the whole house at the back opened in a different direction from this house. Tang Anwen pointed to the picture and explained it to Mu Feng, even Zhang Hong who was beside him was also attracted.
I heard Tang Anwen say that wooden piles should be laid, and a platform nine meters wide and 15 meters long should be built in front of the house, and a small pier should be built in the center of the platform, which is convenient for boats to dock.This house is two-story, and the foundation seems to have been raised a lot. It can be seen from the comparison with the house next to it. The room on the second floor faces north. Looking at the window, it looks like there are four bedrooms, and there is a large space on the outer edge. The corridor looks really nice.
Tang Anwen waited for Mu Feng's confirmation, and ran away excitedly with the blueprint. He wanted to tell the details. The picture just now was just the appearance of the house after it was built. Knowing the structure inside, you can't do it at all.
Tang Anwen, who ran away after Zhang Hong saw a gust of wind, looked at Mu Feng and said, "Ah Wen built this house for business, right? It's easy to do, I've heard the head of the family mention that you don't have much money, you can't follow Ah Wen in everything, you have to scold him, he looks like a not very sensible child."
After listening to Zhang Hong's words, Mu Feng said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, don't worry, Ah Wen's face is tender, and he is a little edgy no matter what he says, so he looks very childish. In fact, no matter what Ah Wen does, the regulations It's relatively clear, since he said it, he must have a plan in his heart."
Zhang Hong nodded after hearing Mu Feng's words. What Mu Feng said was quite right, but Tang Anwen looked a little more handsome, fair and innocent, and often played with children, looking like a big child, so It's easy to be uneasy.
After Tang Anwen returned upstairs, he began to think hard about the problem of moisture protection. The foundation can be raised, but there is no good way to prevent moisture. Although he likes the life in this water town, it must not be based on the health of his family. above.
Gritting the brush with his teeth, turning it around, round and round, the brush was bitten by Tang Anwen with a deep ring of teeth marks. Finally, after a long time, Tang Anwen didn't think of a particularly good way, only a more useful way. It may be troublesome in the future, and it needs to be replaced frequently depending on the effect, but these are minor problems for Tang Anwen, and it can be regarded as temporarily solving the problem of humidity.
Next, Tang Anwen began to write the materials on the rice paper, densely packed, starting from stone strips and blue bricks, because it is to build a bamboo house, but the ordinary bamboo house is not enough to keep warm and cold, Tang Anwen plans to use Lin Zuo’s bamboo house The general construction method , That is to use a whole layer of bamboo, and add a bamboo wall outside, so that the bamboo wall of the third layer is thicker, and the hollow bamboo wall should be able to better block the cold and heat.
Next, Tang Anwen and Mu Feng were busy. Zhang Dafu took Mu Feng and Tang Anwen to several stone shops, and soon Tang Anwen ordered a batch of stone materials. As for the blue bricks, Zhang Dafu directly told Tang Anwen that the house The blue bricks can also be disassembled and used, and there is no need to buy them again. The blue bricks are very strong, and there is no problem even if they are used for hundreds of years.
Zhang Dafu took the two of them to find craftsmen. They were all good at building houses. Some of them were good at building bamboo houses. After reading Tang Anwen's design drawings, they all said that there was no problem and they could do it. As long as Tang Anwen laid a good foundation, They can take over, and even the price is quite favorable. Tang Anwen knows very well that the other party is mainly looking at Zhang Dafu's face. Zhang Dafu's reputation and popularity in Huaishui are really good.
After visiting once, Tang Anwen brought the demolition team to the dilapidated old house. When these people knew that Tang Anwen had been scammed, they all said that the owner of the house was not kind and had no reputation. It's very reputable.
After the tiles were removed, Tang Anwen said that their family didn't want them anymore. The people who helped remove the tiles helped Tang Anwen and the others find a buyer the next day. One of the money was distributed to these artisans who relied on labor for a living, and they instantly won the favor of these artisans. The work was done faster, and there was no need for Tang Anwen to urge the guards, and no one was lazy or slippery.
The wood and the like were dismantled, and Tang Anwen gave it directly to the neighbors to make firewood for burning. One would cost money to transport it out, and the other a small favor would also make the neighbors feel better. What's more, regardless of firewood, it is not easy to transport firewood by water, but it is twice as expensive as the firewood bought on the street.
The two of them are busy every day without touching the ground. Fortunately, Sanbao has two elder brothers to take care of him, and Zhang Hong is taking care of him, and Sanbao is relatively well-behaved. These days are going smoothly, and the renovation of the house has not encountered any problems. Too big a problem.
The original foundation was raised by one meter, and a layer of wooden boards painted with ship primer on both sides was laid on it. The old craftsman told Tang Anwen that this thing was moisture-proof and isolated from water vapor. Afterwards, Tang Anwen raised it by half a meter. Let it be empty, and the bamboo boards laid on it can still be disassembled. Tang Anwen also plans to fill some white charcoal in this gap, which is a very good way to prevent moisture. After the white charcoal is wet, lift the bamboo boards and can be replaced.
The bamboo raft erected on the water was the first to be built. The bottom is supported by fire-baked wooden piles. The small pier of ten meters makes it very convenient for boats to enter and exit. Some wood and bamboo are directly placed on this wide bamboo raft. They are all the best, and they are very strong when walking, without any creaking sound, and there is no difference from the ground.
The bamboo house is three meters high. Except for a room on the right on the first floor, there are no rooms or walls, and the rest are supported by wooden pillars.
There are eight bedrooms on the second floor, and there are four bedrooms on the side of the lake. Tang Anwen and his master bedroom is on the right, three meters wide and four meters long. Guoguo and Douzi's room is also in the same layout. The two of them still live in the same room. , the other six are all guest rooms, all three meters wide and three and a half meters long.The roof is also made of bamboo, and the long balcony of about [-] meters is the best part of this house.
If you stand tall, you can see far. Standing on the balcony, you can have a panoramic view of the entire lake. Not only can you see the passing boats, but also the reeds in the distance, and the ups and downs of birds.Tang Anwen also plans to buy a few cormorants when he is free, he can also be a leisurely fisherman.
A month of busy work has resulted in a house that looks pretty good now. Standing on the small pier, Tang Anwen still has a sense of accomplishment. He is the only one who can design such a good house.Tang Anwen turned his head to look at Mu Feng and said: "Mu Feng, how is our house? Is it great? Am I a talented husband? Even trash can turn me into a treasure hahaha..."
Mu Feng listened to Tang Anwen's silly laughter, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. This house is really nice, and it looks good from the outside.The second floor is also very warmly decorated by Awen. The tea room and study are decorated with various flowers and plants. There are seats on the balcony on the second floor. When you are leisurely, you can make a pot of tea and enjoy the scenery.
When the two came upstairs, Tang Anwen pulled Mu Feng to talk about his future livelihood. At present, he has not found any good money to earn a living, so the painting book must not be published again, otherwise he will escape in vain.However, at the beginning of the construction of this house, Tang Anwen thought about it. Mufeng's cooking skills are excellent. He also inspected the restaurants here. As long as there is something special, it will be a huge profit. After time calculation, it is easy to earn more than ten taels of silver a day.
Mu Feng nodded after listening to Tang Anwen's words, so the two locked the door again and went directly to buy various materials needed to open a restaurant.Tang Anwen couldn't help with this matter, he was sent by Mu Feng to find his husband to see if the day would be better and more secure, so they moved out of Big Brother Zhang's house earlier.
Mufeng bought all kinds of pots, tiles, pans and stoves, as well as various seasonings for cooking, some of which can only be bought in drugstores. These are all seasonings from the Muha tribe. The wind has been outside for so many years, and I can always find some seasonings with familiar tastes instead.
Send all the things to the bamboo house, and Mufeng also found a woodcutter, and asked him to send ten loads of good firewood tomorrow. Well, in the evening he is discussing with Awen about making that kind of food.
Mu Feng couldn't think for a while, the main reason is that most of his specialties are beef and mutton, and the cattle here can't be slaughtered casually, but there are sheep, but there are not many people who eat mutton, and the sheep here are mainly fed by rich families. For children, small households prefer to eat pork, and they can't cook mutton well. It smells like mutton, and they don't want to eat it once they try it.
After finishing these things, Tang Anwen's family will have no problem staying here tonight, but they must talk to Zhang Hong and the others about this matter, and invite them to come and see their new home.
Mufeng and Tang Anwen returned to Zhang Dafu's house, and the sounds of Douzi and Guoguo came from upstairs, and there was also Sanbao's wow-wah in the middle. At this time, Sanbao was already seven months old, and he could sit still. It won't fall down at every turn, it can still climb a few steps forward, and it can already scream a few times.
Tang Anwen hugged Sanbao as soon as he walked upstairs, and scented a few on the little guy's face. The little guy immediately giggled, hugged his father's head and gnawed wildly. At this time, Sanbao's lower tooth socket had already grown There is a small tooth like a grain of rice, and this three treasure already has three teeth, so it is a bit hard to chew, and it is quite painful.
Tang Anwen patted his son's chubby butt, handed the three treasures to Mufeng behind him, and began to ask Guoguo and Douzi what they learned today.Zhang Dafu invited several of his children to be tutors. Douzi and Guoguo have been following him every day lately. When they were in class in the morning, they handed over their younger brother to Zhang Hong to watch over.
During dinner, Tang Anwen and Zhang Dafu said that the house had been built, and that three days was a good day, and they planned to move in three days later.
Zhang Dafu nodded after listening to Tang Anwen's words. He must go and see the house. If the living environment is still not up to standard and still damp, Zhang Dafu will never agree with Tang Anwen and the others to live there.He is from the south and understands the severity of rheumatism, and he also thought that Tang Anwen and Mu Feng must not understand it well. The north is dry, and basically few people get rheumatism. Severe rheumatism, which mostly occurs in the families of very poor families.
The next day Tang Anwen took a whole family to his house to see the newly built house. Douzi and Guoguo were very happy. Sanbao didn't understand anything. Seeing his two brothers happy, he also laughed.
Zhang Dafu has been very busy recently. Although he has not found anyone to go to the north, he has met a ship dealer and is discussing about becoming a shareholder or co-author. To be honest, after this incident, Zhang Dafu is still in his heart about continuing to sell goods in the north. I was a little apprehensive, Zhang Dafu was not willing to go out if he could earn money without going out of the city gate, and now Zhang Dafu also understands that peace is the happiest thing, if he dies outside, his family will suffer. How will the old and the young live, and who will take care of them.
Mu Feng stretched out his hand to connect the beans and fruits to the small pier, and then pulled Tang Anwen and Zhang Hong up one by one. As for Zhang Dafu, Mu Feng didn't worry about this guy stepping into the water.
Zhang Hong looked at the house and immediately smiled and said: "This house is not bad, it is not close to the water surface, the bamboo raft is only half a meter away from the water surface, the foundation of the house has really been raised, and the distance from the water surface is even further, not at all. The feeling of humidity makes me somewhat doubt that this house is really what you said at the beginning, whether it is turning waste into treasure, I estimate that this house is worth at least five or six hundred taels."
Tang Anwen, who was at the side, heard Zhang Hong's question and said: "It is necessary. Five or six hundred taels is less. After a few days, I will liven up the popularity of this place, so even if it costs 600 taels, I won't buy this house." Will sell."
Zhang Dafu's eyes lit up when he saw this house. It was originally a house that was going to be abandoned, because if the water town was flooded and he wanted to renovate the house, it would cost too much money.So Zhang Dafu's first sentence was not to praise Tang Anwen's good design, but to ask: "Tang Anwen, how much did you spend on renovating this house, and will it be very cold in winter?"
After hearing Zhang Dafu's words, Mu Feng shook his head and said, "Ah Wen has seen the money. I don't know the exact amount, but it shouldn't be too much." He remembered that they still had three or four hundred taels of silver, maybe more More, he didn't calculate it in detail, and Ah Wen has been busy recently, and he hasn't settled the accounts carefully.
After Tang Anwen heard Zhang Dafu's words, he thought for a while and said: "It cost about 300 taels. I haven't calculated it carefully. I still have 300 taels in my pocket. But I am confident that I can get all the money back before the Chinese New Year. Mu Feng, do you have confidence? The basis of my making money is your craftsmanship. If you can’t do it, then we are finished, and we can only catch fish and sell them to earn some living expenses.”
When Mu Feng heard Tang Anwen's words, he said with a smile: "As long as you can do it, I will definitely not lose the chain. I want to try to make a few things first, and we will decide after you taste them."
After hearing what Mu Feng said, Zhang Dafu said: "You guys are here to eat, it's not that big brother is attacking you, Ah Wen, those stores we have been to, don't look at the business well, they are decades-old stores, people Famous and popular, look here, although the boats are quite frequent, but they will not stop at all. According to the opinion of the eldest brother, maybe we can sell some special products from the north here, or get some tea and pastries, so that those punting boats Let’s take a rest and drink some hot tea. There are some in the North and South Goods Big Brother’s store, so I can give you some first, and after you sell it, you can just give the Big Brother the capital.”
Zhang Dafu was still worried that Tang Anwen and Mu Feng would mess around, he knew that the two of them had never opened any restaurants, even if Mu Feng could really cook some good dishes, but they couldn't become distinctive, how could it be so easy to open a restaurant.
Tang Anwen patted Zhang Dafu's shoulder and smiled: "Brother Zhang, you are right to worry, but I have considered what you said, but the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, as long as I move the wine out, let everyone smell it , Naturally, people will come to cheer, and fame and popularity will naturally come. Don’t worry, Brother Zhang, the mountain people only have clever ideas.” Tang Anwen saw that Zhang Dafu wanted to say something, so he interrupted Zhang Dafu’s unspoken words.
Tang Anwen knew that Zhang Dafu was worried about him, but he was not an honest and ordinary farmer. Even if he hadn't specially studied marketing back then, but based on what he saw on TV and what he had heard, Tang Anwen would also be concerned. Having met a lot of customers, I still understand a lot of the truth. As long as it is implemented, what Brother Zhang said will not be a problem. Of course, the most important thing is that Mu Feng's craftsmanship must be good, otherwise he will be in big trouble.After all, good wine is not afraid of deep alleys, but it is afraid that the wine will not be good. If you take out the alleys and no one will care, this is hopeless.
After Zhang Dafu heard Tang Anwen's words, he didn't say anything. If Tang Anwen and the others really wanted to open a restaurant, at most he would bring his friends over a few more times to find some good dishes for them. The restaurant would always open slowly. get better.If not, Zhang Dafu can only persuade Tang Anwen and the others to move out of the water town. Although it looks good to live here, the water town has all kinds of inconveniences. After Ah Wen encounters various troubles, They will think of the benefits of land, and Tang Anwen and the others will not suffer too much loss if they sell the bamboo house.
Tang Anwen brought Zhang Dafu's family upstairs. After seeing the layout of Tang Anwen's house, Zhang Hong liked it very much. The room was all made of logs, with a cabinet about one meter wide and two meters wide, and a cabinet about 1.5 meters wide. There are wooden beds on the left and right, and there is a small cabinet next to the bed, where you can put some things.Next to the window is a table with a length of one meter and a width of half a meter. There are pots of orchids on the table. The whole room is bright and simple.
The staircase from the first floor to the second floor also has Zhang Hong's favorite place. The staircase is actually circular, and it turns like a circle to go upstairs. It feels very magical, and it actually goes up around a central pillar.Both Douzi and Guoguo like it very much. They are running around upstairs and downstairs, which is very novel.
Even the well-informed Zhang Dafu saw such a staircase for the first time. At that time, Zhang Dafu's eyes lit up, thinking that maybe he could put Tang Anwen's design on the building boat, and those rich kids would definitely like it.He was a little vacillating, whether to introduce Tang Anwen to sell, or wait until after the cooperation.But no matter what it is, Zhang Dafu will not swallow Tang Anwen's salary, he will find Tang Anwen to cooperate, this is the basic integrity of business.At this time, Zhang Dafu also felt that although Tang Anwen was unreliable, no matter the ghost idea was the same as what Mu Feng said, it was not ordinary.Whenever a problem came into Tang Anwen's hands, Tang Anwen would always come up with some weird ways to solve it.
After seeing Zhang Dafu, he also gave Tang Anwen a thumbs up. Although the room is not big, it is well furnished. I believe it will be very comfortable to live in.
After Zhang Dafu saw Tang Anwen's house, he felt relieved, at least there was no major problem living in this house, and he felt quite comfortable.The other Zhang Dafu couldn't convince Tang Anwen, so he could only help after Tang Anwen and the others hit a wall. Of course, Zhang Dafu also looked forward to Tang Anwen's ingenious plan. Happy for them.
Sending away Zhang Dafu and his wife is mainly because the little brother in Zhang Hong's arms is hungry and wants to go back to drink goat milk, so he can't stay here for too long.Unlike Sanbao, who is seven months old now, even if there is no goat milk, there will be no problem feeding egg custard and rice porridge. The little guy is still delicious, and noodles are also optional.
After making Douzi and Guoguo promise not to go downstairs to play, Tang Anwen and Mu Feng returned to the master bedroom, and they took out all the money they had on their bodies. Tang Anwen began to carefully calculate everything from the demolition of the house to the construction of the house, as well as the expenses spent these days. All the money lost, of course, also recorded the money for selling the original redundant tiles and blue bricks.
In the end, it was calculated that Tang Anwen and the others spent more than 200 taels of silver to renovate the house. At this time, Tang Anwen still had about 300 taels of silver in his hands.Adding up all these things these days, it costs about 400 taels of silver, which is much better than choosing a house of 400 taels.Not only is the space larger, but the living environment is also better, and even a relatively large business can be achieved. Otherwise, the shop is too small, and it cannot be used as a restaurant if it cannot be opened.
Three days later, Tang Anwen and the others had bought all the tables and chairs. They had prepared eighteen square tables. The eaves of the balcony were extended by one meter, almost covering half of the bamboo rafts.Even if it rains, Tang Anwen and the others can guarantee that most of the tables will not be exposed to the rain, not to mention that their three rooms are huge, except for a small room and the kitchen, tables and chairs can be placed in all other places.
Mufeng has already bought some ingredients, including mutton, pork, sheep's head and pig's head, and pig's offal. Meat is not easy to come across, so Mufeng also bought some chicken, duck, live fish, tofu, fried tofu and the like.
When Mufeng processed the ingredients and started cooking, Tang Anwen couldn't sit still. Tang Anwen's saliva flooded with the smell of the fragrance, and even the beans and fruits that he hadn't caught while fishing on the bamboo rafts had disappeared. He ran back to the house and waited for his mother to prepare the stew and start eating.
A few neighbors from the next door came to smell the fragrance, and asked Tang Anwen what the family was making, and it was so fragrant that it smelled so good that it went to their home.Tang Anwen quickly chatted with the people who gathered around. There is a two-meter corridor at the back of the house, which is convenient for a whole row of residents to come and go.
Tang Anwen told them that his family was going to open a food shop, and today his wife was stewing the meat, and when it was ready, she would give some to these neighbors, so that they could taste it.
The boats passing through this waterway also smelled the fragrance from Tang Anwen's house at this time. Although they didn't stop, they always took a deep breath unconsciously, wondering what it was that could cook so fragrantly.
Tang Anwen held a bamboo pole, and when each small boat passed by, he yelled at the boatmen, telling them that after two hours, he would have a free piece of stewed meat as a gift, and asked them to promote it on their behalf.When the boatmen heard Tang Anwen's words, they were very curious. The gluttons were already aroused by the scent, and they all replied that they would definitely come later, and they also said that they would definitely help Tang Anwen and the others to promote it.
Some guests who came to swim in the lake simply stepped on the bamboo rafts of Tang Anwen's house. Tang Anwen entertained them with tea and snacks, and asked Guoguo to take out a game of go, teaching these guests who stayed and waited for food to do something.These guests quickly became interested in playing simple backgammon. Although backgammon is extremely simple, they still have some skills in playing it.
Tang Anwen's bamboo rafts became lively in the afternoon. For two hours, Mufeng fished out some marinated meat one after another. Tang Anwen did not have a large portion for each person, but a small portion for each item. Absolutely not full, but people want to eat after eating.Because it was free and there was a small takeaway, even if these people couldn't buy braised pork, they still left Tang Anwen's side in a good mood.
Tang Anwen also asked Mu Feng to put all the extra stewed meat on the plate. The boatman who had agreed earlier was already waiting for Tang Anwen, and Tang Anwen was going to take the initiative to promote his family's food.Tang Anwen and Mu Feng thought that cooking was too troublesome, so they made meat with marinade, plus noodles and rice.The form is a bit like fast food, and it can also be taken out, but there is a small difference between Mufeng and Tang Anwen in terms of pricing. The price offered by Mufeng is relatively low, and the price offered by Tang Anwen is much higher than that of Mufeng. Naturally lost.
Within three days, all the boatmen walking on the water knew that there was such a shop in Qingshui Town. The stewed meat in the shop was so delicious that it made people salivate. In recent days, free meat was given away every afternoon. Although there are not many things, only two or three, but it can definitely reduce gluttony.
At first Zhang Dafu heard that Tang Anwen's free gift was a waste, but when he was on a boat, every boatman would mention to them Tang Anwen's restaurant called Tang's Braised Meat Restaurant. Zhang Dafu had to pay attention to it. Didn't do it, and actually brought up the reputation first, and didn't go down to those decades-old shops nearby. As for whether Tang Anwen's family can make money, Zhang Dafu also began to look forward to it from this moment. What new tricks can Tang Anwen come up with? After all, these boatmen will mention at this time that it is free. When Tang Anwen is no longer free, how many people will be willing to spend money to buy meat.
Many people think that Tang Anwen and the others are too stupid to go bankrupt before starting this business. In fact, in Qingshui Town, many neighbors of Tang Anwen and his family did not say anything to Tang Anwen and the others in person. Laughed countless silly.
Douzi and Guoguo have heard it many times, but they have nothing to do. Although the family is a bit busy these days, Tang Anwen has not forgotten to find a wife for Guoguo and Douzi. Fortunately, he never thought that in front of this row of houses, There was actually a teacher, and more than 20 nearby children were studying there. Douzi and Guoguo were sent there, and Tang Anwen would pick them up on time whether it was going to school or after school.
Three Treasures are taken by Tang Anwen every day, and Mufeng is busy and has no time. Tang Anwen is thinking of finding a few people to help at home, otherwise Mufeng can't be busy alone. There is no need to scrub anything. If it is really opened, someone will always clean up the dishes, tables and chairs after the guests eat.
Just as Tang Anwen was thinking, it was already time for Douzi and Guoguo to leave class. Tang Anwen walked towards the school with the three treasures in one hand. The corridor of about two meters is not wide, but it has the characteristics of people on the water. Tang Anwen is currently aware of everything. I am very satisfied. Of course, being too busy is just a small matter, not a big worry, and it can be solved by asking someone.
When seeing the two children, Tang Anwen's complexion was not very good. It turned out that Guoguo's eyes were red, obviously from crying.Tang Anwen immediately knelt down and asked Douzi what happened, why his brother was crying, and who bullied them.
