Kuang Rongchang said: "Whether a place is suitable for building a house or not, there is an ancient method that can be tested!"

Kuang Dejun asked: "What can you do? Take it and test it on the foundation of my villa." ”

Kuang Rongchang said: "You go and prepare five kinds of bean grains, set up a temporary stove with bricks in the middle of the foundation, put the pot on the pot, put the five kinds of grains into the pot and fry them to see if the cooked grains will jump out of the outside, if not, it will be a suitable place to live." ”

Hearing him say this, Kuang Yibin brought a small wok, and Zeng Xiangyuan also came to help set up the stove. Kuang Dejun found soybeans, mung beans, peanuts, corn, rice, and five kinds of cereals that were commonly planted.

"Come, Uncle Yibin is a big man, and he is a German grandfather, you old man is here to fry it. The Germans, go wash their hands, light the incense and candles, and prepare to set off firecrackers. Kuang Rongchang commanded as calmly as a general.

"Rongchang, don't you have to slaughter livestock?" Second Uncle Kuang Xiuchang also walked out of the courtyard gate and asked.

"If there is a rooster, it is best to slaughter one!" Kuang Rongchang said: "Is there a rooster at home?"

"I have chicken factories in Qishan, how can there be no chickens!" Kuang Dejun said.

Kuang Rongchang took the compass and tested it in the center of the foundation, squatted in several other directions to measure, and then pinched it with his fingers intently, and said, "After waiting for another half an hour, it will be an auspicious time." He asked Kuang Dejun: "Can you bring the rooster in half an hour?"

Kuang Dejun said: "It doesn't take half an hour, it takes more than ten minutes." He made a phone call: "Brother Defu, help me catch a big rooster and build a villa outside, it's going to be used urgently." ”

A few minutes later, Kuang Defu loaded a big rooster of seven or eight catties with a chicken coop and arrived with Kuang Dexi on an electric car.

Kuang Rongchang pointed to the big rooster in the cage and said to Kuang Xiuchang: "Brother Xiuchang, it is your task to slaughter that big rooster, Defu will help." Okay, the Germans lit incense and candles and lit firecrackers! Uncle Yibin began to stir-fry the cereals!"

Soybeans, mung beans, corn, peanuts, and rice, after being heated in the pot, crackled and began to make a violent sound, and some beans inevitably bounced out of the pot after bursting, but none of them jumped out of the pot.

Kuang Rongchang used fried rice, sprinkled some around the foundation, and recited some greetings.

"Junzi, this is a good place to build a house. Kuang Rongchang believes that today's test is the best omen.

Kuang Yibin motioned to Kuang Dejun to hand over the red envelope to express his gratitude.

Kuang Dejun handed the red envelope wrapped by his grandfather to Kuang Rongchang and said: "Uncle Rongchang, accept your auspicious words! You can calculate an auspicious day, when will the construction start?"

Kuang Rongchang pinched his fingers, chanting some words in his mouth, and after a while, he said happily: "Tomorrow is an auspicious day, and you can start construction on the sixth day of the first month!"

Kuang Dejun didn't understand what time he was talking about.

Kuang Rongchang said: "Zi Chouyin Mao Chen is noon, and the time is from 5 o'clock in the morning to 7 o'clock in the morning. The so-called Mao Rabbit, the moon, also known as the Jade Rabbit, is still in the sky during this time. ”

Now he realized that the time to get up and breathe every morning turned out to be at this hour.

Kuang Dejun solemnly worshiped heaven and earth, mountain gods and local gods.

After Kuang Xiuchang slaughtered the big rooster, after worshipping, he instructed Liu Dinu to go home and boil water to clean up the chicken feathers. Kuang Dejun asked Kuang Dexi to cook by hand, and there was also Kuang Deshou on the base.

Kuang Dejun called him out for dinner, and he said: "I'll get some food in the shed, it's best that there is no shortage of people here in your shed!"

Kuang Defu said: "This morning, Du Gusheng sent a few workers to replace the broken barbed wire with new ones. And a letter of apology was posted at the gate of the base. ”

"These short-lived ghosts, I asked him to post the apology letter on the advertising file of the village committee, what is he doing at the door of my base?" Kuang Dejun scolded.

Kuang Rongchang hurriedly said: "He also posted the gate of the village committee, and I saw it when I passed by today!"

At the banquet, after taking a few sips of wine, Kuang Rongchang finally asked: "Junzi, many people say that you are going to run for the post of village director this time, is it true?"

"I was recommended as a candidate, and I didn't think about it at first. Uncle Rong Chang, do you think I should run for the post of village chief?" Kuang Rongchang is a person of great weight in the Kuang House of Qianqian Village, so Kuang Dejun wants to hear his opinion.

"I absolutely support you to run for election, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, to see if the people surnamed Kuang are able to suppress the people surnamed Du, it depends on this time. For decades, our Kuang surname has been subservient to the people surnamed Du in Qianqian Village, because the power of the village committee has always been grasped by the people surnamed Du, and the other surnames are soft persimmons, and they dare not speak no matter how they twist it!" Kuang Rongchang raised this issue to the height of the struggle between the two surnames, and this is indeed an aspect that the Kuang German army did not want to see.

If you say that, you will appear to be too big and narrow-minded. All the people of Qianqian Village are a whole, and there is no question of who leads whom and who rides on whose head. The people of Qianqian Village should hope that a capable and courageous village chief will lead everyone to a road to prosperity.

Kuang Xiuchang wanted to speak several times at the dinner table, and Zeng Xiangyuan chatted with the old man Kuang Yibin.

Kuang Defu and Kuang Dexi both echoed: "Junzi, we all support you to run for village director!"

Kuang Xiuchang sighed and said: "Of course, it is a good thing to be a village director, but it is also easy to offend people and be hated by others when you are a village cadre!"

Kuang Dejun said: "If you are not a village cadre, some people will also hate you." I'm not afraid of this, he Lao Du doesn't have any sense of fairness in doing things, he seeks personal interests everywhere, and he doesn't think about other villagers in Qianjin Village at all, this kind of practice is unpopular with the people. ”

In addition to the chicken, there was also a plate of braised dried yellow fish on the table, because they were in a hurry just now, Kuang Dexi and the others did not bring out many dishes.

Seeing that Kuang Dejun asked the two of them to go to the base to pick vegetables again, Kuang Rongchang said: "Whatever kind of vegetables you pick, just make two or three dishes." Isn't there a chicken? Stir-fry a plate, stew a pot of soup and have two dishes, and then make two more things. Junzi's giant rice can be eaten in a few bowls without vegetables!"

Kuang Xiuchang said: "Green vegetables, I have a few here. There are turnips, celery, cabbage, taro, and boil!"

Second Uncle enlightened tonight?

Don't you still have eggs at home, and it's not bad to fry a plate of poached eggs.

On the dining table, several plates of green vegetables are also very sweet and flavorful, although the vegetables are not as sweet as the giant vegetables in their own base, but they are still much more delicious than the vegetables in other vegetable fields.

Could it be the vegetables he planted in the greenhouse last time?

"Second uncle, the taste of this vegetable is almost comparable to the taste of the giant vegetables grown by the army!" Kuang Dexi said happily.

It was almost a little close, Kuang Dejun believed that no matter how the second uncle stole the spiritual spring water to irrigate, the vegetables he grew would not reach the taste of the giant vegetables he grew in any case.
