A day later, in the morning, it was dawning, and a noise outside the house woke He Kun from a beautiful dream.

Raised his eyes and looked out the window, gray, today is the start of construction, everyone came early to wait, since people have come, the host can not help but entertain it.

Scooped up a scoop of well water, washed his face, lifted some spirits, went out, and lit a cigarette with his grandfather.

Grandma took out the paper cup she bought a few days ago and sent tea, these people who came are all strong, middle-aged men, and it is most suitable to mine bluestone. After drinking a few sips of hot tea, I transported some mining tools back and forth to the side of Qingshi Mountain in advance.

Soon, the sixth master also rushed over after breakfast, and the mining personnel notified a few days ago also arrived.

He Kun stood on the side and watched the old man gossip with a few people, and waited until eight o'clock in the morning, when the tools and materials were ready, ready to start mining bluestone.

Before the construction starts, He Kun has also prepared, yellow paper, incense and firecrackers, these are all done according to the old lady's instructions, and the younger generation of people don't know much about these rules. Even people of He Kun's father's age don't understand some rules.

Before the start of construction, there are still a lot of things to do, at first, to put the incense burner in the mining place, light the incense, offerings and other installation sequences in turn, and then to burn yellow paper, how much yellow paper to burn, how to burn are particular, anyway, He Kun didn't figure it out when he looked at it on the side.

A series of steps down, in order to excavate the first shovel, excavation at the same time, to light firecrackers, crackling sound startled the birds of the mountains and forests, small animals for a burst of chickens and dogs, frightened to flee in all directions.

He Kun watched from the side, and felt that it was very lively and atmospheric, although he didn't agree very much, but the village opened mountains, built houses, and so on.

If you don't do it, the older generation won't say it, and even the surrounding villagers will look at you with different eyes, and even people won't do it for you.

Why? Where you move people's homes, you don't worship God, for fear of causing disaster.

Although in recent years, people have become less and less particular about these local customs and habits, but they still need to be done, and a kind of regulation has almost been formed.

At this time, He Kun was holding a bamboo pole with a red cloth tied to it, firecrackers rang out, and the surrounding crowd congratulated in unison. There was another cigarette handing, and I was busy for a while.

Talking and laughing, the mining has been carried out, He Kun was very excited, and he stood aside to laugh and smoke with the old people in the village.

Going up the mountain to open a stone is also a big event in the village, especially after He Kun said that the mud road in the village was also retouched, and the elders of the village applauded.

No, it hasn't started yet, and some of the older generations in the village have come over to join in the fun.

He Kun's family said a few polite words, and watched everyone do their work in an orderly manner under the command of the sixth master, and they no longer bothered.

More than ten o'clock, most of the soil on the surface of the bluestone has been cleaned, due to the good choice of location here, the bluestone in many places is exposed, which is very convenient for mining.

After clearing the soil, you can dig out the bluestone blocks, drill holes according to the desired size, and peel them off.

In the later stage, a large number of people are needed, and the stripped stones need to be ground out of some stone slabs, paving roads, making ground planes and other laborious things.

Since these are high-intensity physical work, He Kun also said about the bonus at the beginning, and seeing everyone's faces smiling, He Kun himself was also happy.

The workers have tools in their hands, they don't need money for electricity, hit stones, under the command of the sixth master, they will quickly become proficient after a while, He Kun watched the pieces of bluestone being stripped off, and thought beautifully in his heart, there is a bluestone path in the fruit grove, a few flowers and plants are planted on both sides, and a pavilion is made in an open place, and some stone benches are put on to have more scenery.

The slate does not need to be flat, just grind off the sharp corners. Whether it is after a meal or in the evening, take the dog and walk on it, enjoy the quiet and tranquil that is difficult to achieve in the city, smell the fragrance of peach blossoms under the peach tree, or taste the sweetness of peaches.

Looking at the withered yellow leaves in autumn and snowflakes in winter, thinking of these, He Kun was more anxious, his hands and feet were not idle, helping to move the stone slabs, the stones made by these tools were uneven, and they could only be erected and leaned aside.

Not to mention, these 20 or so people, plus complete tools, can do their work, and the speed is really unspeakable.

The sixth master on the side also kept smacking his tongue and said: "This tool is really much faster than before." ”

A lot of stone was mined in one morning, which in the past would have taken at least a week to reach this point when it was purely handmade.

Seeing that it was noon, He Kun took Wang Baoquan and the sixth master home for dinner, according to the rules of the village, the first meal was to eat at the master's house, and the others didn't care, but the sixth master must be invited.

In the past few days, the vegetable garden has produced a lot of vegetables, grandma picked some fresh, made a big table, shredded green pepper meat, braised eggplant, leek eggs, bean slices, braised rooster, large pieces of grass carp, and finally stewed a soft-shelled turtle, very hearty.

He Kun held a large piece of steaming grass carp, took a deep breath, with a hint of sourness in the sweetness, swallowed his saliva, and was greedy.

The old man here has already led people to the table, there are elders at the table, He Kun can only serve food today, take the wine, and is busy helping grandma bring the prepared dishes to the table one by one.

At this time, the house is very lively, everyone is drinking beer, liquor is not drinkable, there is still work in the afternoon.

Eat vegetables, old man, He Kun, as the host, beckoned the sixth master and Wang Baoquan to eat.

"Hehe, second brother and sister-in-law, don't be busy, it's all a family, come, I'll toast you." The sixth master took a bite of green vegetables, his eyes lit up, the taste was still so good, and the green peppers were slightly spicy, refreshing and delicious. It's really good.

"Come, hehe, sixth brother, I have to trouble you about the affairs on the mountain." The old man was happy, got up and drank the beer, and even He Kun followed a bottle.

After eating, he took a break to continue to work, He Kun helped his grandmother clean up the dishes, and did not follow, and after the service was done, he went back to the house to rest.
