Chapter 170 Survey
Zhengxiang, who slept at night, heard the "whooshing" rain outside in a daze, and didn't know if it was the middle of the night or the early morning, Pei Yao turned over and continued to fall asleep, thinking about things for half a night, sleepy!
In the early morning, in order to discuss last night about inviting someone to build a house today, everyone didn't sleep well, and got up early in the morning to cook and eat, so they asked Chen Jiacheng to drive a carriage to take Aunt Chen and Wu Shujiajia to the shop to see the store, and then go to the county seat to find the contractor who built the house, and then bring Li Jun back on the way back.
Today's major event of building a house requires the decision of several main people in the family, so as the owner of the house, Pei Yao will take a day off today and don't have to go to the shop.
It rained in the middle of the night last night, so the morning air in the mountains was exceptionally fresh, and the early morning sun shone brightly, and the dew on the green grass and leaves of the sprouting trees was trying to draw out the dew from the green grass leaves, shining like pearls, and everything in the valley was full of life! It seems to herald the beginning of everything!
Pei Yao had breakfast and went to the chicken pen with a basket to pick up eggs, probably because there were more insects and grass seeds in the bamboo forest, so the chickens raised at home grew extra big and laid eggs early.
Since the two first eggs were found a few days ago, the hens have made an appointment and new eggs are born every day. Up to now, all the hens have worked hard to "cluck" to lay eggs, and the harvest is getting more and more day by day, so that Pei Yao is overjoyed to see so many white eggs in the chicken nest, and she can finally eat eggs casually, but she is really greedy!
Since the salted wild eggs pickled at home in the early winter have been eaten, she has never eaten fragrant eggs, even the two first eggs in the two leek-filled dumplings a few days ago, she didn't taste at all, think about it, you know, two eggs, the amount of dumplings for ten people
But it's a pity that there are no traces of eggs in the goose nest, and the goose lays eggs later than the chicken. However, she looked at the five big white geese standing in the flock, and she was still very comforted.
Because of the presence of geese, the weasels in the mountains have no chance to steal chickens, and several times she heard the geese "quack" at night, and the thieves and chicken thieves were all over the chicken pen with their hard beaks, and finally they were successfully driven out of the territory of the geese!
Therefore, Pei Yao's main purpose of raising geese is to watch the house, because grandma said that raising geese can not only prevent weasels, but also that someone comes to steal chickens will also play a role in screwing people and shouting loudly to remind the owner, so in their village, people who raise more chickens must raise geese, and they are good at taking care of the house!
Soon, at the bottom of the basket on her arm, there was a layer of round white eggs, she saw that it was a lot, and then thought about what the family had saved in the past two days, and decided, today she must make more of her favorite egg scrambled leeks, and eat it cool!
Seeing that there were still hens waiting in line to lay eggs in the shack, Pei Yao made a few chick nests out of thatch in the corner of the chicken coop, and put an egg in each chicken coop to lead the hens to lay eggs, and then turned around and walked out of the chicken pen to take the eggs back to the cave.
Thinking of preparing to make eggs and fried leeks at noon, her saliva is going to stay, she has loved to eat this bite since she was a child, only 7 years old, she will take a knife to cut a handful of fresh and tender leeks in the garden, pick up the weeds and leaves mixed in it, wash it with a small basin of water, hold a large kitchen knife with two hands, cut it into some different lengths, two fingers wide leek segments in a few clicks, and then use a small pot on a small coal stove to copy eggs, and wait for the eggs to be golden into pieces, and the leeks will be added after a few stir-fries, so simple to do!
With white rice, she can eat all the dishes alone, and use the more delicious vegetable soup to soak rice and eat, although sometimes she is afraid that the oil will splash out and burn her hands, so she does not wait for the soybean oil to boil and lay eggs to make the dish have a taste of raw soybean oil, so she can't stop her love for egg fried leeks!
Although I rarely bought fresh and tender leeks in the market after going out to work, and the feed eggs were completely odorless! But as long as she returns to her hometown, the most popular dish is this simple dish.
Put the eggs under the shelf next to the stove, and say hello to Wu Man, she has to continue weaving rattan tools.
She is ready to prepare all the spare rattan tools for sale during the construction time, and when the house is built, she will drive a carriage or ride a horse to travel with the Chen family!
In order to be able to play with peace of mind, I can only work "overtime" this month!
It didn't seem to take long before he heard a noisy sound from outside the cave, and Wu Man ran in and said happily to Pei Yao: "Sister Yao, Brother Chen has brought three contractors here, and now they are drinking tea in the courtyard!"
The tea table outside was Pei Yao didn't want outsiders to enter the cave, so she specially instructed Wu Man and them to set up the tea table in the courtyard, burn the newly bought small stove, boil water to make tea, and put some dried fruit snacks on the table to entertain the guests.
Pei Yao got up, glanced at her body and saw that there was nothing wrong with her, and touched her hair before Shi Shiran walked out of the cave. As soon as Chen Jiacheng saw her come out, he said, "Xiao Peiyao come here, wait for you to take a few big brothers to draw the boundary according to the drawings." ”
Hearing that the two men and one elder in the family listened to this little girl, the three contract foremen did not dare to despise it, and got up to say hello, after all, this is the food and clothing parents, it is right to be polite.
Pei Yao also nodded and said generously: "Hello brothers, you sit down and eat snacks first, and then I'll take you up for a spin!" ”
The foremen were all about the same size as Li Jun, and their faces were quite ordinary, but they were not shallow-eyed, and when they heard this, they drank the tea in their hands and got up and said, "Don't be busy eating snacks, we first determined that the matter of the house is the main thing." ”
Seeing that the three of them really had no intention of sitting down to eat snacks, Pei Yao and Chen Jiacheng walked in front to lead the way, and the godfather and Li Jun at the bottom of the back supplemented the discussion, and the atmosphere along the way was very harmonious.
A few people walked to the top of the spring, because the mountain at the foot of the north mountain is gentle and slightly undulating, and if all the trees above the spring were cut down, a large house could be built, and the location of the cave below could be made into a stone step-like lower courtyard next to it.
The shape of the house originally felt that the shape of the courtyard was good, but the area that can be used as a house base is too large, and there is no need to save space at all, and it is still more generous to cover it horizontally in a straight line.
However, although it was a straight line, the Chen and Wu families were divided into two houses, each with five blue brick houses.
And Li Jun's house was set in the lower courtyard, that is, next to the cave near the stream, and built three blue brick houses.
In the end, the mountain road from the mouth of the valley to the home was also decided, and the house building team widened the mountain road to the road where three or two horse-drawn carriages could pass in parallel, not only to dig the sewer pipe from Beishan to the river ditch, but also to pave a three-meter-wide stone road in the middle of the road.
It's not okay to be excited about the three contract foremen, today is a big job!
Then they agreed on the detailed cost issue, dismissed the intention of the owner to leave them to eat, and went straight to go back to prepare well, and go to Qi Dong's idle workers at home, they must do a good job! (To be continued.) )
