Chapter 144 Burning the Bottom of the Pot

In view of the fact that he has not made less money during this period of time, Luo Ran is rich and has everything. The pen %fun www.biquge.info%pavilion couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and he could eat pomegranates at the same time.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is preceded by the peak consumption season. Fish ponds, ponds, fish, shrimp, crabs, lotus roots, etc., are sold every day. Especially crabs, when I bought fish fry, I didn't buy many crabs, so it has been in demand for a while. I really earned hundreds of taels of silver, and according to this trend, I can still make a sum of money during this period of time. Luo Ran was already calculating how to build a house.

I was planning to take advantage of the busy autumn to build a house for Luo Ran's family, and the wood was ready-made, so I just needed Luo Youli to go to the mountains early with a few long-term workers to cut down the trees, and wait for them to be dried and pulled back.

Even if the wood thing is solved, all that remains is bricks, sand, etc.

This time, I directly invited a skilled team in the village to build a house, because Luo Ran's family is a well-known and honest family in the village, and every time the salary is very sufficient, and the food is good, so those who work are full of energy, and it didn't take long for the prototype to come out.

Now the beams of the new shop have been installed, the purlins and other tenons have been completed, the roof was made yesterday, and today the last important process is underway - tile, that is, tiling on the roof.

Luo Ran referred to the layout of the houses of large families in Fucheng to build it. It's a little tyrant who broke out.

The layout of the new house is a two-entry yard. The first entrance is the outer courtyard, and when you enter through the gate, there is a large and spacious courtyard. On both sides of the courtyard are rows of fruit trees, including pomegranate trees, persimmon trees, cherries, pear trees, and more. In the center of the courtyard, there is a small flower bed. The inside is going to be planted with thorn roses transplanted from the outside.

This thorn rose is a wild thorn rose, covered in thorns, and the flowers are red. Often, the farmers are planted near the wall or fence, and they are planted around the land boundary, which can effectively prevent theft. Of course, Luo Ran also planted a circle of thorn roses outside the courtyard wall.

The main house in the front yard is used as a living room, a study and a bedroom. There is another compartment in the study, and there is a kang on it, where you can read or rest.

After passing through the front yard, it is the second courtyard.

On both sides, there are fewer than large households, and there are hand-copying verandahs. Passing through, there is a stone road in the middle, which leads directly to the main house. The second courtyard is also the inner courtyard of Luo Ran's house, with a total of ten upper rooms, one bright and two dark, and most of the courtyards are almost the same in modern layout, which is much better than the general layout of ordinary Zhuang houses.

There are also a lot of fruit trees planted in the backyard, because the Luo family has a small population now, and there are no wings on both sides. They were separated by a few circles of fences, opened vegetable patches and sampled chickens and ducks.

I thought that if I added more people in the future, I would be able to rebuild the wings.

Such a two-entry yard, not counting the mess of wood and fruit trees, just the labor costs, bricks, sand, materials, etc., cost Luo Ran more than 200 taels of silver.

Luo Ran also dug a vegetable cellar and an ice cellar in the yard. Different from the simple vegetable cellars of the villagers, the vegetable cellars dug this time are filled with bricks, stones, wood, etc., just like building a house. The digging is very deep, and it can store a lot of things. In order to facilitate access, steps were built at the entrance, similar to the modern staircase.

Even more troubling is the ice cellar. Most of the reason for digging the ice cellar was Luo Ran's greed for enjoyment.

Although you can go to Zhuangzi to enjoy the coolness, unless you live directly in Zhuangzi in summer. It's still hot inside the house. When the time comes, if you dig up ice from the river in winter, or freeze the water directly into ice and put it in the ice cellar, it will not melt for a long time, and it will be much cooler in summer.

So Luo Ran asked people to dig the ice cellar, maybe they can make a small profit when the time comes.

The new house was finally built in a few months, and Luo Ran and Wen Sheng were looking forward to moving in every day.

Finally waited for the day of housewarming, and this time is still a good day for people to calculate.

Generally, people will come to celebrate the housewarming, which is called the bottom of the pot in the countryside.

"Burning the bottom of the pot" and "burning the pot helmet" bring the joy and wealth of the old house into the new house. Let it be connected with the new house, new joy, and new wealth, and the family will have no shortage of food and clothing for generations in the future, and live a happy life.

A lot of people came on this day, including the people of the Luo family. However, the Qin family did not come, and Luo Wenming did not come to the private school.

Old Man Luo looked at Luo Ran's family with such a big and beautiful house, and he didn't feel good in his heart. The son who was the first to be separated has become completely developed, and he is no longer close to his father, and he has less and less contact with several brothers. Full of hearts.

No matter how melancholy Old Man Luo is in his heart, he can't show it on his face. Otherwise, you still have a sad face when you come to burn the bottom of the pot for your son, this is not to burn the bottom of the pot, this is to pull hatred.

Men and women sat separately, and Old Man Luo, the village chief and others, as well as Luo Youli, were naturally at the same table. Luo Ran was at the same table with a few girls.

This time Luo Ping also came, Luo Ran looked at her deliberately, with a look of disdain and pride, is there good news with the eldest son of the prefect's family? Luo Ran thought in his heart.

Luo Ran really guessed correctly, what Luo Ping was thinking in her heart was, hmph, no matter how well the house is built, it is still in the village. Where is the prefect's house good, when he marries the prefect's eldest son, he lives directly in the prefect's mansion. If you buy a yard for your father and brother in Fucheng, it's better than this.

Forget it, don't worry about Luo Ran, anyway, she is also a country girl, born with mud legs, she is not as good as her brother to be an official in the examination, and it is even worse than marrying the prefect to be a big lady. Although she was wronged and became a concubine at first, with her own means and appearance, it will definitely not take long to become a lady.

The eldest son of the prefect had already told Luo Ping his identity, and later, after a while, he also confessed the fact that he had married a wife, and said that his wife was married by his parents, and he didn't really like it, and now he met Luo Ping's favorite. Of course, as a senior sister's son-in-law, Mr. Zhang Dagongzi talks about love and things one by one, that is, everyone who is beautiful and sounds like a spring heart, not to mention Luo Ping, who is bent on climbing to a big family.

Luo Qiao, who was next to him, watched Luo Ping's elegant eating movements and began to learn. Ever since Luo Wen was named to the people, his family has been asking Luo Qiao to kiss him. Of course, there are also a lot of people who say goodbye to Luo Ping, after all, Luo Ping is Luo Wenming's sister-in-law, and she is still good-looking, so she is much better than Luo Qiao, whose reputation has been damaged.

Usually, the Qin family asked Luo Qiao and Luo Ping to learn a little more, but Luo Qiao listened to his heart, but he didn't know that the Qin family asked Luo Qiao to learn not only his manners, but also his heart. Luo Qiao has been learning Luo Ping's moves, but no matter how you look at it, there is a sense of humor in Dong Shi's imitation.

Luo Ping looked at Luo Qiao, and the contempt in her eyes flashed. (To be continued.) )
