Volume 1 Chapter 46 Continuing to Rise
At night, the new bed was brought in. The boxy bedpost, the flat height of the bedside and the high-end bed, the slippery wooden shelf pushed above the head, with a new wood fragrance, Qin Mo, who sat on the bed and tried it, was very happy.
Sitting on the bed, moving, moving, and moving, the bed does not shake, and does not squeak, it can be seen that this carpenter's skills are indeed good, no wonder Qin Mo asked other families everywhere when she invited the carpenter, and most of them pointed out this craftsman to her.
The bed is stable, the size is just right, six feet long, although she and Xiangxiang are still children's bodies, naturally this bed looks a little bigger, but, the big bed is wide, sleeping at ease, comfortable, Qin Mo likes the big bed, can roll and roll when they are tired on it, and although she and Xiangxiang are small now, they will always grow up, this bed, sleep two adults are very generous, spread straw, and then spread a blanket, you can sleep.
In this way, I finally have a bed of my own.
Speaking of the board, Qin Mo turned around and took a closer look, this bed is not only cut with a saw on the side of the bed very well, but the difficult thing is that the bed board laid into the bottom of the bed is also very neat, and the surface is smooth with shavings, as long as you sleep on it, you still feel comfortable no matter how you sleep, Qin Mo has to sigh at the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient technology.
Bed, finally had its own bed.
Thinking that she hadn't settled the salary to the master yet, Qin Mo, who was excited, hurriedly got up from the bed, she had something to ask this master for the next.
Qin Mo got up from the bed, and then went to get the money hidden in the wooden bucket, which was wrapped in a cloth bag.
Thank you, master....
When the wages were settled, the carpenter who had washed his hands and was done walked towards the house.
Master, this is the salary for these two days, a hundred dollars a day, and in addition, I will give you another sixty dollars, you look at the wood I have left, can you help me work for more than half a day, and add a few long and short stools-?!
Qin Mo used an inquiring tone, the salary was in his hand, he had just counted it from a hanging of only half a penny, and when he gave the money, Qin Mo first asked the carpenter's attitude, and did not spend the money first.
Qin Mo wanted to use this carpenter for half a day's work, because at the beginning, he only talked about beating the bed, and did not say that he wanted to make a bench, and he added it temporarily, because he was afraid that this carpenter would be in demand, and the working hours would not be moved.
And the carpenter is a man of few words, two hundred and sixty yuan, that is not a small amount, for the poor peasant, as soon as he saw the large amount of money that Qin Mo spread in the palm of his hand, his heart moved first.
Sixty dollars more is a lot, and in poor places, even if you sell all the dozens of catties of grain at home, you only need a few hundred dollars, where can you find more of these sixty dollars.
The carpenter did not speak, but took the money in lieu of a promise with silence.
The sun hadn't set yet, and it was already ping-pong outside.
The craftsman is making a stool.
And Qin Mo, after picking up some firewood, before taking it to the stove, thought that he had to start cooking dinner again.
The gnocchi in the pot was boiling with a muffled sound, and the carpenter was punching holes in the planks with a wedge.
And Xiangxiang, with her little hands in her pockets, shook her body and came back refreshed.
Come to the door of the stove.
Sister.
As soon as Qin Mo saw her like that, he knew that he was really happy. stroked the wet hair of the little girl with his hand.
How's it going, it's fun!
Mmmm, give them something to eat, they don't like Xiangxiang, and they don't dislike Xiangxiang anymore!
Xiangxiang said, squatting beside Qin Mo.
Isn't it, if you're nice to others, there's no reason for them to hate you!
Qin Mo turned his head to Xiangxiang and said, while turning back to turn around and stir up the fire in the stove.
Mmmm, I've memorized what my sister said!
Xiangxiang went to the house, and Qin Mo heard a loud cry of surprise in the house.
Qin Mo quietly stirred the fire again, pretending not to know anything.
Sister, we have a bed, we have a bed, we have a bed, it's nice to have a sister, we have food, we have a house to live in, and now we have a bed again!
Seeing Xiangxiang jumping out of the room cheering and clapping her hands so excitedly, Qin Mo, who stood up from the front of the stove, shook his head with a helpless smile.
The carpenter was still sitting on the ground here, busy diligently, as if he didn't even hear anything about the surroundings.
And Qin Mo is anxious now, although the bed is good and the bench is there, the economy of the family has not changed much, and there are still many things that need to be added, and this broken house really can't be lived, because Chishui Village is not a place with a lot of rainstorms, otherwise, a house like this will be washed away sooner or later, but for now, it is also a temporary residence, and it is crumbling and will collapse at any time.
Every time Qin Mo saw the thin mud wall and the grass roof, he always felt a strong sense of unease in his heart.
I was always worried that one day I would sleep until midnight, and the house would fall down on its own.
You can't kill people, but you can't stop people.
There are still many utensils that are lacking in the house, from ploughs and hoes to furniture, to needlework and baskets, and there is no place that should not be added.
It's just that there is no money, and it is imperative to find a way to find money.
The family has less and less rice, meat, and vegetables, and there is no money to import, so they may have to worry about their livelihood again.
Thinking about it, Qin Mo, who was sitting on the stove and burning the fire, looked solemn again, put down the stick that made the fire and returned to the house, and touched the side of the bed and sat on it with a sullen look.
Alas, no matter what, although it is difficult to make money, as long as you are diligent, there is nothing you can't do.
Today, Qin Mo went to the town and found the place where the kiln was fired, the purpose was to find the people from the kiln factory to make hundreds of clay pots.
The aloe vera leaf that was picked last time came out and kept hanging on the pillar of the beam, blowing, Qin Mo washed it out early in the morning and left it dry, the purpose was to drain the water on it, and then the juice in the middle of the aloe vera leaf was particularly full and well separated.
Last time, I planned to use aloe vera as a beauty cream, and the steps have slowly formed in my head over the past few days.
To make zuò paste, you must first have tools, the aloe vera is pounded into juice, filtered with gauze, and the aloe vera juice is used freshly, without too much skill.
It's just that the viscosity and smell need to be changed.
First, it is naturally a skin care product, and it must be scented, so that it will be popular with women, and it is also safe to use on the face.
Mask the smell of aloe vera juice, and after you can't sell it, people will know that this thing is aloe vera juice at once.
In addition, what worries Qin Mo more and more now is that now the people in the village are paying more and more attention to the Qin family.
Cooking and making beds, just these little things can make people criticize and look sideways.
People's words are terrifying, and people's power will be even more terrifying, no matter how capable Qin Mo is now, he is just a child after all.
I don't have power or power in my family, so I'm afraid that someone will come to find trouble...
In fact, although the current Qin family is still destitute, but I am afraid that some people will be crooked, jealous and come up with some bad ideas, then Qin Mo's fruits after his hard work are very likely to be robbed by those people.
Therefore, before there is no stability, for Qin Mo, every qiē must be low-key, and low-key.
Every time Xiangxiang went out to show off, Qin Mo felt that it was not advisable, and warned about it.
