Chapter 258: The Oolong Affair of Cement

Erya unconsciously touched her nose with her thumb, and replied to her son embarrassedly: "I was originally going to come back to eat with you, but our custom here is that people must eat at other people's houses on the day of their housewarming, which is the real blessing of others, so my mother didn't come back to accompany you." Ay! I'm sorry Qingzhu, super super, Yue Yue! ”

Wen Chao was like a little adult, and said to his mother seriously: "Mother! You're an adult, and you should have a lot to do. At dinner, Yue Yue ate more than me and Brother Qingzhu, so it wasn't that the food was not delicious. Don't get used to him! ”

Qingzhu nodded on the side, confirming that what Wen Chao said was right, Wen Yue looked like he didn't care if he was exposed, which made Erya can't help but want to laugh.

"Ahem! I won't say anything about that! Have you all washed up? Erya hurriedly changed the topic.

Wen Yue was busy coquettish again: "No! Waiting for my mother to come back and help me wash! ”

"Good! Mother will help you wash! ”

After boiling water, washing and placing the children, Erya was not in a hurry to wash, but was waiting for her father and younger brother, who might have to come over for a night's rest, while planning the year-end assembly.

It stands to reason that after the autumn harvest every year, there is a celebration of the harvest. However, this activity is generally carried out by the government, big families, and wealthy people with deep pockets, and ordinary small farmers or small rich families will ignore the past. But Erya especially wants to hold one this year, but she doesn't plan to hold a bumper harvest just to celebrate it. She really wanted to put the harvest celebration and New Year's party together on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, so that all the people gathered in the town.

At the beginning of noon, I started to eat the New Year's dinner. Two hours to eat. At the end of noon, there were speeches by representatives of long-term workers, team leaders, and Zhuang heads. The next step is to give rewards to the outstanding personnel, and then there is the performance. After that, everyone makes dumplings together, and after eating the dumplings, they send people home.

Er Ya wrote down the general process. Wait for Shi Jingxuan to come over the day after tomorrow, and then discuss the details with him. If you need the children to put on a show, you have to plan the show, design the costumes, design the styling and so on a month or two in advance. It is impossible for two girls to do these things one by one, and she can at most mention a building or something.

After writing down the idea and process of celebrating the harvest and the New Year's party, she returned the design ideas of crushed coral and millet pearls to the furnace and felt that it was feasible. I thought about taking things to town and giving them an eye on the kids. Let them earn some pocket money. To make an eye for such a small pearl, you have to go to the weird blacksmith and ask him to make dozens of tiny diamonds to make holes in the millet pearls and broken coral.

Erya was busy for a while. Seeing that Dad and Huigui hadn't come over yet, I thought that maybe I wouldn't come, so I went to the bathroom to wash up and get ready for bed. But when she finished taking a shower and was about to get dressed. The courtyard gate was snapped. She didn't have time to get dressed and go out to open the door. The nurse shouted loudly from there: "Here it is! Here it comes! ”

Because Erya had said before that her father and younger brother might come over for a nightbreak, she thought it might be them. But when she ran to the courtyard gate, she still carefully looked through the crack in the door, and couldn't see who it was, and then asked, "Who is it?" ”

Huigui replied outside the door: "Auntie! It's me! Thinking about it, he chased again: "I am Wen Chao Wen Yue's uncle - Huigui!" ”

When the nurse opened the door, Erya had already quickly dressed and walked out of the bathroom to the hall. The nurse took the father and son of the Liu family into the hall, and the second girl asked the nurse: "Auntie!" The hot water that made you boil, did it boil? ”

"Burn, burn! You said that my father-in-law was coming over, so I boiled a big pot of water and put it there. There's still a small fire in the pot hole! The nurse hurriedly replied, what the owner of the lady ordered. She's never disobeyed.

Erya nodded and said, "Very good!" Thank you, auntie, please go to my room and bring the owner's clothes to my brother, so that they can wash and go to bed. ”

The second girl's father was drunk, and he had to be supported by Huigui when he walked. Fortunately, he still knows the direction and knows the legs, otherwise Huigui really can't serve this uncle alone.

The nurse took out the towel and a change of clothes, and saw that it was really inconvenient for Huigui to help his father take things again, so she took the initiative to send them to the guest's special bathroom and put them on a special rack for clothes.

Erya frowned and asked her younger brother: "Why did Dad drink so much, didn't he say that you should drink less?" ”

Before Huigui could speak, her father answered with his tongue wide open: "Girl, your father and I didn't drink too much, but the wine was too rushed, and I got dizzy after drinking a few glasses." ”

Huigui said helplessly: "Those people have to drink with their father, but if their father doesn't drink it, they will flatter their father." After talking about it or two, my father couldn't stand it, and I drank a glass with one person, can I not drink too much?! ”

"Forget it! Don't waste time here, you should take Dad to wash up, you have to be careful, Dad said he didn't drink too much, I see enough choking. ”

Huigui nodded and helped his father to the public bathroom. Erya said later: "You and your father will go directly to the guest room to sleep after washing, and I will sleep here first, so I won't wait for you." ”

"Hey! Sister, go to sleep first! Leave us alone. I can take care of my dad! ”

After breakfast the next day, Erya sent away her father and younger brother, who were no longer dizzy, and Shi Jingxuan came over.

"The proprietor's lady! Cai Baocheng sent someone to send the cement back and asked where you put it! ”

Er Ya asked casually: "Can it be said that the cement was made this time?" ”

Shi Jingxuan nodded hurriedly: "Said it!" said that Cai Baocheng saw the end from the beginning to the end, and he didn't dare to be negligent at all. After this batch of cement came out, it was sent back directly! ”

Hearing this, Erya didn't squeak, she didn't know where to put it for a while, the cement was not needed on the dam, and the master had his own special materials. In the town, Dahong and Xiangzi didn't dare to let them use it, but she was afraid that the cement would not meet the standard, and there would be an accident at that time, which would be a major matter related to human life.

Don't blame Erya for how easy it is to have cement, why don't you dare to use it! Speaking of which, it was all the cementer who made trouble.

Some time ago, the cement maker may have listened to Erya's promise, which made him feel super good. The wounds on his body healed quickly. In less than half a month, he asked the shopkeeper Zhao to ask someone to bring a letter to Erya, saying that he was fine. You can go home and get cement for Erya. Erya followed this capable person to him with enthusiasm, only to find that the problem was huge.

The reason why this cementer was able to fiddle with cement can only show that the family has been engaged in stone-related industries for generations; Also, there must be no shortage of stones. As Er Ya deduced, this family lived in a big ravine hundreds of miles away to the west of Er Ya's house. There are stone mountains in front of and behind, and there are half of the cliffs that have been hewn into cliffs. These are all expected by Erya, but there is nothing surprising. The house is like a melon farmer's melon shed. The trembling combination on a relatively flat pile of stones is acceptable to this Erya, and he is not surprised.

It is said that their family is outside the mountain, and they have a land and a house. Just because he wanted to heal the wounded, he bought all the light. Now Erya has gone to buy their cement again, so that they can see the hope of a better life again.

This plasterer is a common family surnamed Zhang, and his name is Zhang Dajing. He limped (the injury was not yet healed) and took the second girl to a place not far from the shed. Pointing to a few piles of cement blocks that had been condensed by the rain, he said, "Wang Niangzi! That's the cement you're looking for. All the cement is here, I don't know if it's enough for you? ”

Erya looked at the cement block that was completely useless in surprise, and asked the big well incredulously: "Master Zhang!" This is the cement you gave to the previous man's house? ”

Zhang Dajing was very sure but very puzzled and asked: "Yes! It's this cement, which can be used when smashed with a stone hammer. But what's wrong? ”

"Huh! What's wrong?! To put it mildly, you are not wronged even if you are beaten to death! DID YOU KNOW? This kind of cement that has been soaked by rain and formed into lumps is no longer effective? You are ashamed to say that it is this cement, and you dare to sell it to me fearlessly! The second girl was so angry that her nostrils smoked, and she couldn't wait to kick it. Such an important thing, if it is not done well, it will kill people. He didn't even learn his lesson. He also dared to sell what had already happened to himself. What kind of foolishness does this have to be to dare to do such a fearless thing!?

Zhang Dajing listened to Erya's words, his face changed in shock, and he asked in fear: "Wang Niangzi!" You mean, then, that person's courtyard wall collapsed, is there really something wrong with me? ”

The other onlookers in the Zhang family also looked at Erya in shock, and like Zhang Dajing, they wanted to get an exact answer from Erya mouth.

Erya looked at their panicked expressions and knew that they really didn't know that the cement couldn't be used after it was wet with water. The heart is very congested, and I am also very helpless, from ignorance to knowledge, there is always a price to pay, either me or him. Thinking of this, Erya's bad mood was much better, and she said to them very calmly: "This cement must be waterproof and moisture-proof, you don't know." Since people have accidents because of your things, you should first check whether there is a problem with your things, why do you think that people are accusing you! If I hadn't known the nature of this thing, wouldn't I have suffered once today? ”

The Zhang family, the old, the middle, the young, are all in disbelief, you are staring at me and I am staring at you, as if you want to find confidence that you can rely on in the other party.

After a period of silence, it was the old lady of their Zhang family who issued the first sentence of the dilemma that no one dared to say: "Since this can't be used, then we don't even have the coal to burn the stones, what should we do?" ”

Everyone in the Zhang family trembled, yes! Now they can't even afford to burn the coal to burn the clay, so how can they burn the clay and sell it for money?

Zhang Dajing looked at Erya with a sad face, hoping to get help from her. Since Er Ya knew their predicament, and he needed cement, he couldn't stand idly by. Since she has an idea to help, she hasn't learned from others the tricks in officialdom that people ask people to ask for. said to Zhang Dajing straightforwardly: "Since you are looking at me, I understand that you just hope that I can come up with an idea to help you solve the current dilemma." Then there are only two ways I can think of now, one is that I lend you money, and you pay me back within a certain period of time. The other is that we work together to burn this stone clay, and I will pay for your people and technology, and we will benefit from fifty-five points. As for which one you want to choose, it's best for your whole family to sum it up and give a clear answer tomorrow before we leave. (To be continued......)
