Chapter 255: Building a House (2)
The place designated by Chai Bin is on a flat land under the hillside, with a gentle slope to the north, just to block the north wind, and it is the best place to pitch a tent nearby.
Zheng Pengyuan was chatting with Zhao Qing and Chai Bin, and ten carriages were unloaded at Chai Bin's designated place under the command of a young man.
After these ten carriages unloaded their things, they all went back, and these ten carriages were hired by Zheng Pengyuan. The coachmen stayed in Shiyan Town tonight and returned to the capital tomorrow.
The young man seemed to be a small man, and he commanded everyone to start setting up the tents, and depending on their proficiency, such things should be done with ease.
Li Ziyu returned home to help with dinner, so she didn't care about Zheng Pengyuan and them, just wait for the meal to be cooked and greet them.
By the time everyone had set up their tents at the bottom of the hillside, dinner was ready. And Bu Jiu also picked up Xiaoshan and Xiaowen back, just in time for the meal.
Li Ziyu beckoned Bu Shi from the tree and wanted to introduce him to everyone. Because the building time is very long, Step 9 and Step 10 will definitely be seen. In order to avoid suspicion, it is better to talk about it.
In a family like theirs, the existence of step nine and step ten is inappropriate, and it can only be more credible to tell the truth.
Li Ziyu introduced Xiaoshan, Xiaowen, Bu Jiu, Bu Shi and Master Zheng to each other, and when introducing Bu Jiu and Bu Shi, Li Ziyu said that they were the masters invited for the family.
This is not only true, but also makes everyone feel more reasonable. A few orphans must be worth a lot of money now, or they can't afford to build such a big house. It is necessary to learn some martial arts, and it is also human nature.
Because it is impossible to get up early every day to practice and learn martial arts. The carpenters and bricklayers who live here in the future will surely notice that this will not be hidden from them.
And Xiaoshan and Xiaowen immediately entered the role, beckoning everyone to eat on behalf of the family.
For dinner, porridge was served with white flour pancakes. Stir-fried meat with mushrooms, stir-fried meat with fungus, spicy stir-fried cabbage and shredded radish soup. Each dish is very large, and the combination of wet and dry meals makes you have an appetite when you look at it.
In the courtyard, Li Ziyu lit a torch because it was too late, illuminating the entire courtyard.
Because there was only one table at home, Li Ziyu didn't think to borrow a table, so everyone sat on the ground. Holding a bowl and chopsticks, Xili snorted and ate very happily.
Although these people are from the capital, because they have been running around all the year round, they are good at food. And today's meal at Li Ziyu's house was beyond their expectations. The farmer's meal was already very pleasantly surprised for them.
Master Zheng and the old village chief Zhao Qing, Chai Bin, Bu Jiu, Bu Shi, Xiao Shan, and Xiao Wen ate at the dining table in the hall. They filled the table with a fresh dish, a cold cucumber.
This dish can make everyone happy, except for Xiaoshan and Xiaowen. None of those five people were polite. They got off their chopsticks one after another, and they ate all after a while.
They take it for granted that since they can take out fresh cucumbers at home, they must have eaten them at home. Therefore, Xiaoshan and Xiaowen did not eat cucumbers, and they were not surprised.
And although Bu Jiu and Bu Shi knew that they had never eaten cucumbers at home, they were not polite. They don't have a sense of humility, and the people at the table don't know them well. Eating in your mouth is earning.
Chai Bin knew that vegetables were grown in the east house, but it was not clear how many there were.
In fact. The vegetables in the vegetable box in the East House, except for the cucumbers, were planted a year ago, and the others were planted after the year. Cucumbers grow very quickly because of sufficient fertilizer, and they have already produced several cucumbers.
Other vegetables have also grown very quickly in the past few days, and four or five leaves have emerged one after another from cabbage, radish, spinach, and celery, and the height is more than ten centimeters. If you put a vegetable soup, you can stir-fry a meat dish.
It's just that there are too few things to supply such a large construction team. I can only add a dish to the old village chief and Master Zheng for each meal.
Leeks and green onions grow slowly, but they have just emerged, and they will have to wait a few days before they are eaten.
Li Ziyu took her younger siblings and Wang Qiuyue, aunts and cousins to eat on the kang table in the West House, because they had children at this table, and there was also a plate of cucumbers.
This is the first time to eat cucumbers after they are ripe, and although I also want to eat them, Li Ziyu has not eaten a bite.
Since the flowering and cucumber bearing, Xiao Wu, Xiao Hu and Xiao Lan will look at it several times a day to see how big it has grown. When I could really eat it, I knew that I needed vegetables to build a house at home, and none of the three little sensible people were eating cucumbers.
Li Ziyu saw Xiaohu and Xiaolan drooling at the cucumber a few times, and her heart was very sad. Impulsively, I wanted to pick one for them to taste, but I didn't expect them to sensibly refuse, saying that they would keep it for the guests to eat.
Such a sensible brother and sister made her feel very guilty, so today she gritted her teeth and got a plate of cucumbers on their table for her younger brothers and sisters to taste.
The guests were satisfied, and almost all of them had happy smiles on their faces. My aunt and Wang Qiuyue went to the courtyard with boiling hot water to quench the thirst of the guests.
Everyone touched the firewood in the yard, sat under them and sat in the yard, chatting while drinking water, and the atmosphere was very warm.
At this time, a tall and rugged man in his thirties, with a full beard, took a sip of hot water, let out a long sigh of satisfaction and said, "Wow! So comfortable! I didn't expect that in this poor country, there is such food, and my old Lu earned it. Feed! Ozawa, this person is good, kind! ”
This man's name is Lu Jingui, and he is a well-known carpenter in the Zheng family's construction team. He claims to be a descendant of Luban, but I don't know if it's true. But his craftsmanship is famous in the Daye Dynasty, and even some architectural details in the palace have to be carved by him. The carpentry work done by his hands is exquisite and lifelike, which can be called a masterpiece of art.
The one called Xiao Ze by Lu Jingui is Zheng Tianze, the youngest son of Master Zheng, who is seventeen years old this year. That is, the young man who directs everyone to set up the tent.
Zheng Tianze looks a little dark, but his facial features are upright, and he has a trace of elegance on his body, and he talks like a student.
At this time, he smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Lu, there are handsome birds in the deep mountains, and there are sinking fish in the flying sword." The more such an environment is, the more likely it is that there will be talents you don't expect. Wait, you'll be worthwhile. ”
Lu Jingui's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly came to Zheng Tianze's side and asked in a low voice, "What do you say?" What is the background of this family? Or is there something surprising? ”
The others in the courtyard also listened intently, their faces full of curiosity.
Zheng Tianze didn't say anything, he just cared about drinking water with a smile, and his gestures were so comfortable, as if he was not drinking boiled water, but elixir and jade liquid.
Soon after his father left, he set off with the convoy. On the way, he walked with the convoy for nearly 20 days, and only this morning did he and his father meet in Shiyan Town.
In the Riri Red Restaurant, after my father settled everyone, he showed him a drawing.
The drawings bring the details of the building to life and explain the details. The whole drawing has a strong sense of three-dimensionality, which brings him great shock.
It was the first time he saw that a drawing could be drawn like this, and such an immersive scene made him have a strong urge in his heart to meet the owner who painted this drawing.
Therefore, he now felt that there was a sense of mystery in the people of this family, and he really couldn't believe that someone who could draw such drawings would live in such a place.
However, it made him more and more curious. His father didn't tell him who drew the picture, and he didn't tell him when he asked, and when he said it, he knew that it made him feel very uncomfortable like a cat.
However, it should not be difficult to know who is the master at home, right?
At this time, Zheng Pengyuan stood up at their table full of food and drink, and walked into the courtyard together. The old village chief knew that Chai Bin still had to travel at night, so he walked home.
"Brother, you can slow down, be careful late at night." Zheng Pengyuan said to Zhao Qing.
After a conversation at the dinner table, the two had a very similar temper. In addition, Zheng Pengyuan is an old fritter and knows the status of the village chief in the village. I have to stay here for a while, and I will inevitably deal with the people in the village. So I deliberately made friends, and the elder brother and brother were called up, and they seemed very affectionate.
