Chapter 12 Kiln Drilling
Seeing the sea following Hu Ping'an, a group of people were stunned, and when Hu Ping'an said a lot, everyone dared to believe that the person in front of him was wearing the same character in the TV series as the first famous college student who walked out of his own village.
Canghai helped to take the handle and pushed the waterwheel to the door of the old village chief Hu Shijie, and then asked, "Grandpa Hu, are these people left in the village now?"
When I came, I heard that there were more than a dozen people left in the village, and now I see that there are more than a dozen people, and there are only six or seven people who have been crowned by God, and now they are all standing in front of them, and they are still old and weak in a water, except for the stupid baby Hu Ping'an, the youngest is afraid that there are sixty people outside.
"Then how many people do you want to live here, most of the people have moved to the town, only us old bones, love home and don't want to move there, but it's just dry and exhausted, waiting for the body is really not good, why do we have to move to the town."
The one who spoke was the daughter-in-law of the old Li family in the village, surnamed Qian, and her big name was Ximei, the third daughter-in-law of the old Li family, and today she was almost sixty-two or three. When the old man talked about the relocation, his words were a little helpless and a little lost.
Relocation for an old man of their age, there are too many things to worry about, ancestors have lived here for generations, and the ancestral graves of each family are also nearby, if this is moved to the town, what will happen to the ancestral graves?
Listening to these people talking about the helplessness of the relocation, Canghai didn't know how to interface for a while.
In the end, he has been the village chief, and he is still the village chief, although he is now in charge of less than ten old, weak, sick and disabled, Hu Shijie still has a bit of a pedigree.
"Haiwazi has just come back, let's stop nagging and say something happy. By the way, Hai Wazi came back this time to go to the grave of your grandfather and you?" Hu Shijie looked at the crowd for a while, and then his eyes fell on Canghai's body.
Canghai nodded lightly and said, "If I can, I still want to buy a piece of land here and plant something or something!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole scene fell silent, and everyone looked at Canghai with an idiot's gaze, and the only guy who didn't look at Canghai like this was Hu Ping'an, because he himself was a fool.
Hu Shijie muttered twice in his mouth, and some words were not said after all.
Hu Shijie doesn't say it doesn't mean that others don't say it, although everyone is not the same surname, but the people in the village are simple, and they used to be almost ordinary, and the trust between people and the relationship between neighbors is quite good.
Li Liren, the second master of the Li family, opened his mouth and said: "Haiwazi, don't be stupid, we are just reluctant to leave the old bones, how old are you, besides, what can you do when you come back here, what do we want here, if you don't say anything else, just say that this water has to be taken from a few miles away, if you don't have water, you can't plant anything, even if you plan to take water, I think it will be a year or two at most, and the old well over there will be dry, and if you want to get water, you have to walk another ten miles of mountain roads, what do you say you came back to!"
Hearing Li Liren's second grandfather say this, everyone responded, and repeatedly said that Canghai should honestly return to the city of the magic capital to become a real magic capital, and it is a serious thing to become a real magic capital, as for returning to the hometown to farm, this kind of thing is still not to think about it.
Canghai just laughed here, and didn't answer, these people are all people who have lived a lifetime, no one is stupid, seeing Canghai like this, he had to sigh secretly in his heart, and felt that the old Cangjia child was stupid.
However, everyone was not worried, they felt that once Canghai couldn't live in the village, they would naturally go back. Not to mention anything else, just looking at the dress of the wild Canghai, no one believes that he can live in the village now, not to mention Canghai, even if they themselves were not attached to their homeland, they would have moved to the town a long time ago, not to mention anything else, just by twisting their hands, the tap water will flow loudly, which is a temptation for them.
Since this is the case, Hu Shijie and the others no longer persuaded them, and asked about the situation in Canghai, whether there is a mother-in-law or not, what is the situation of the big demon, anyway, there are all kinds of questions.
Canghai answered them one by one, and finally Hu Shijie made a decision that Canghai lived in his kiln in the days when he came back.
Because of the arrival of Canghai, it brought a little joy to the small village, and everyone gathered at Hu Shijie's house at dinner in the evening, and the old man also deliberately took out his treasured bottled wine to entertain Canghai.
Wine is not expensive, at most 30 yuan a bottle, but for people who only drink loose wine all year round, this wine is quite high-grade, and the dishes are all home-cooked, to be honest, even home-cooked is not counted, a few people gather around a table, a total of three pots of vegetables, a pot of green vegetables to roast salted meat, a pot of potatoes stewed salted goose, and a pot of egg soup, the staple food is the multigrain steamed buns that are often eaten here, the kind that scratches the throat when you bite and swallow.
It's been too long since I've been away from home, Canghai is used to the big white rice, and I'm not used to eating these at first glance, but after all, it's my hometown, and after eating a few bites, I got used to it.
When the meal was over, the women began to sit together on the table, and a group of old men sat around the seats and began to make a house.
Canghuo talked about his preparation to open a kiln with this momentum.
"Grandpa Hu, I want to ask you about this, I still have something to do in the magic capital, I can't take care of it here all the time, I am going to open three new kilns, and a large flat land in front of the new kiln will come out ......."
As he spoke, Canghai dipped his finger in the water and began to draw on the table. Canghaiti's requirements are 3.5 points high and wide, 6 meters deep, so that three skilled workers can generally be dug within ten days, a dig of three holes, roughly calculated is a month of time, plus decoration or something how to say three months is enough.
Hu Shijie frowned, took a puff of Canghaisan's paper cigarette, and then opened his mouth and said: "Now a big worker has to be at least a thousand early in a day, and this has to be eaten, no matter how you say this, there must be three or four big workers, plus what you said about smearing cement seals or something, it has to be less than 1......00,000 yuan, without this number, you can't get out of these three kilns."
Hearing Grandpa Hu say this, Canghai waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll come according to 150,000, but when the time comes, I want you and everyone to help keep an eye on it, so that nothing goes wrong."
What Canghai needs is these masters to dig out the kiln, as for the later things Canghai is ready to do it himself, as a child who learns architecture, he is no stranger to decoration, and he likes to talk about fiddling with his own place according to his own preferences, as for what designer to invite and the like, Canghai has never thought about it.
Hearing Cang Tao say that he was going to dig a kiln, Li Licheng, who had been silent beside him, said: "Isn't it a little inappropriate to dig a kiln at this time, it is about to snow, I think it is better to wait for the beginning of spring."
Li Licheng is the eldest of the three brothers of the old Li family, and he usually talks little, but as soon as this came out, it was to the point, and the matter of digging a kiln is indeed not suitable for winter, except for winter, there is no problem in the other three seasons.
Hearing Li Licheng say this, Canghai then remembered that this matter is indeed not suitable for winter, and it must be spring at the earliest, which means that it will have to be said in three months.
"Can't you do it this winter?" Canghai was still a little unwilling, and asked Hu Shijie.
Hu Shijie took a puff of his cigarette, thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Haiwazi, this matter is not in a hurry, if it weren't for Lao Li Tou's mention, I really didn't think about it for a while!"
Seeing Canghai's face of loss, Li Licheng understood Canghai's thoughts, and opened his mouth to say: "Haiwazi, aren't you afraid that you won't have a place to live when you come back?"
Canghai nodded.
When Li Licheng heard this, he opened his mouth and said: "What is the matter, the kiln in your uncle's house is vacuumed, we often clean it, and there is no problem in living for a year or two, if you come back, you can live there, but I want to tell you, there is nothing in it, beds, cabinets, and everything else have been moved to the town by them, and there is only an empty kiln left."
As soon as Canghai heard that there was a stay, there would be no problem, as for the absence of a bed or anything, it didn't matter, the space on his own side was in hand, and it was not a trivial matter to transport a few bed cabinets or something.
"Then I've thanked Grandpa Li here, Grandpa Hu, don't be busy digging the kiln over there, wait for the beginning of spring," Canghai said here.
Waiting for the beginning of spring, Canghai's hands are not so tight, waiting for the gems to be sold, and the tickets will come in in a hurry, not to mention opening three kilns, even if it is thirteen, Canghai can afford it.
I heard Hu Shijie's grandfather say that he wanted 100,000 yuan, and Canghai was still thinking about whether to ask the two dead friends to borrow some money when he returned to the magic capital, or if he didn't go to the United States to suck the Americans' General Sherman tree, in case the silver in his hand was not enough, then it would be fun to see, and now I heard that it is not good to open a kiln in winter, so the rest of the things are much easier to do.
After his own matter was solved, Canghai asked about everyone's crops: "Grandpa Hu, what are you planting now?"
Before waiting for a table of men to answer, Li Licheng's daughter-in-law, Qiu Shanghua, opened her mouth and said: "What else can be planted, now all that can be planted is corn and potatoes, and there is not much to grow in total.
After speaking, Qiu Shanghua put a plate of peanuts in his hand on the table, and sat down beside the master with a crooked buttocks.
"Alas, the land planted by these few of us together is only four or five acres, the harvest is not good, the corn kernels are half the size of the people in the town, and there is no agricultural tax or anything like that now, otherwise not only will you not be able to make ends meet, but you will have to put money into it" Li Liren put down the cigarette on the side of his mouth, and said with a long sigh.
"Didn't the town give you any land?" Canghai asked casually.
"If we don't have the land in the town, we won't be able to eat enough for a year," Hu Shijie said.
