Chapter 271: On the eve of the beam

More than a month has passed, and Li Ziyu's family's new house will be put on the beam tomorrow.

In the past month or so, the ox carts arranged by Chai Bin to transport the masonry and tiles have been delivered on time every day to ensure the timely completion of the project.

Because the wall of Li Ziyu's house is too expensive to use green bricks, more green bricks than other people's houses to build ten houses.

Chai Bin and Bu Jiu have cooperated tacitly these days, and the two of them have not bothered Li Ziyu at all in matters such as buying grain, pork, and vegetables.

The eating and drinking of these more than 100 people is a big deal, and the food is consumed quickly, especially fine grains such as rice and white flour.

Li Ziyu saw that the helpers would rather not eat themselves and bring back steamed buns and meat dishes for the children at home, so he steamed dozens of drawers of steamed buns every day, and steamed more rice mixed with rice and sorghum rice, so that these people could be full.

Since Chai Bin is the manager, these things are naturally taken to heart. So, I had to go to the town in a few days to buy food and pork, vegetables, spices and so on.

Every time, when Bujiu sent Xiaoshan and Xiaowen to school, they brought it back by the way, but they didn't have to send another car to buy it.

During this period, Li Ziyu put the soybean paste into the small clay pot one by one, and because the small clay pot prepared was not enough, she went to the "Erliang Stoneware Shop" to buy it again.

Because she bought jars with lids, she filled a clay pot with soybean paste and sealed the gaps in the lids with wax. A large row of deep trenches was dug behind the old house, and the sealed clay pots were arranged neatly and buried deeply.

The bean sauce that is put up in this way is called stuffy sauce, and you can dig it out whenever you want to eat it. It didn't taste ordinarily good, it was simply amazing. It's really sweet and sour, refreshing, and it's an appetizer all year round.

Of course. Li Ziyu didn't stuff the soybean sauce either, and gave the helpers a small plate on each table every day, and with other dishes, everyone ate very happily.

At first, when the bean sauce was served, Li Ziyu was still a little worried, afraid that everyone would not be used to eating it. In fact, there are several ways to make soybean paste, and I am not used to eating other kinds of soybean paste.

I didn't expect everyone to love it not only to eat. I still eat every time without a drop left. Some people are also noisily asking about the making of soybean sauce, wanting to learn some crafts and go home to do it.

Because soybeans are very cheap here, they can be grown at home or on the edge of the yard. There is no need to waste good land, and the soybeans planted are enough for the family to eat for a year.

If you learn to make this sauce at home, you don't have to worry about cooking at every meal.

In the winter, people in the countryside eat almost nothing, and some families even use salt water to soak rice. People in good conditions will stock up on Chinese cabbage and turnips. That's also a matter of saving. Every meal is just a matter of stir-frying. If there are elderly people and children in the family, these dishes can be eaten by them, and other people can be very content if they can have a vegetable soup to eat.

That is, after the spring flowers bloom, plant some vegetables in your yard, and when the summer harvest is in full swing, the family can eat vegetables vigorously.

It's not that Li Ziyu doesn't want to teach everyone, but the key to making soybean sauce is to make a sauce ball face. The sauce ball noodles seem simple, but the heat is not well mastered or the amount of water when making dumplings. will affect the taste of soybean paste.

However, she sees that the big guys are really willing to learn. I just roughly explained the method. and deliberately explained in detail the production process of sauce ball noodles, as for how much everyone remembers, then she doesn't care.

After the courtyard wall was built, He Shigui also sent two heavy solid wood doors over.

During the construction of Li Ziyu's house, He Shigui and He Shixiang took their sons and cooperated with Lu Jingui and other carpenter masters from the capital to make the doors, windows and furniture needed by Li Ziyu's family in the two of them.

As for the salary, Li Ziyu is also calculated according to the daily labor, and each person is also 60 wen per day.

When the doors and windows were about to be ready, Wang Tiehammer sent Li Ziyu over to get the iron sheet, and at the same time, there were huge iron rivets needed to nail the iron sheet.

Since Wang Tiezhu took over the task of making grenades given to him by Li Ziyu, he resigned from the nursing home of Hot Pot City and concentrated on making grenades.

Now the finished product made of grenades is comparable to modern ones, and after Li Ziyu's last appraisal was passed, the grenade shells were already being secretly made in batches.

During this period, Li Ziyu used charcoal, potassium nitrate and sulfur to prepare gunpowder, and also took time to go to a cave and fill the gunpowder into the grenade shell. And tested the power of the grenade once in the deep mountains, and the effect of the explosion shocked them at that time.

Seeing the power of the grenade, they became cautious in the process of making the thunderstone, lest something go wrong and blow up the cave.

Li Ziyu told Lei Shi how to fill gunpowder, so that Lei Shi completely mastered a series of production procedures and methods of grenades.

Li Ziyu also had to do it as a last resort, so she had to tell them the method.

Grenades will be mass-produced in the future, and Li Ziyu can't fill each grenade with gunpowder by herself, and she doesn't have the energy.

And according to the agreement with Lei Shi, each batch of grenades produced will have half of Li Ziyu. Li Ziyu is also not afraid that Lei Shi will violate the contract, because Li Ziyu has the formula of gunpowder in his hand, and this Li Ziyu will not tell anyone. Even Bu Jiu follows her every time, and he doesn't understand how these are successfully configured.

Now that the first batch of grenades has been made, half of Li Ziyu's share has been secretly placed in the underground valley by her and Bu Jiu.

Li Ziyu estimated the number of grenades produced according to the scale of the underground cave in Lei Shi. Therefore, through the number of grenades that Lei Shi handed over to her, she knew that Lei Shi was still very trustworthy.

In fact, it is illegal for the Lei family to make weapons underground now, and if the court knows about it, it will be a crime to destroy the door.

But the Lei family still made this grenade without hesitation, Li Ziyu estimated that it was not that the Lei family wanted to rebel, but that they wanted to save their lives at a certain moment when the court turned its face.

Loyalty to the monarch and patriotism is relative, and no one is willing to lie under the butcher's knife of the ruler and let the ruler kill brutally.

It is estimated that if my grandfather knew that the court would convict him without even asking, it is estimated that he would have rebelled at the border.

The grenade in Li Ziyu's hand is also to prevent trouble, and it is better to have multiple life-saving talismans in his hand than to be slaughtered by others.

She never wanted to rebel against the court, and in modern times she is a loyal guardian of the country. But now she had to prepare for the worst. In case the imperial court found out about their background and wanted to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, she couldn't obediently lead the neck to be killed, and she didn't resist at all.

There is another happy event during this period, that is, the marriage of Xiao Ou and Zheng Tianze is finally confirmed.

Mrs. Zhang went back to check the eight characters, and then came back happily and said that the two were a match made in heaven. So, the Zheng family prepared various marriage gifts, and the intermediary wrote the marriage documents, and the dust finally settled on this family matter.

During the construction of the house, the money from the hot pot city and Yongfutang was sent over one after another. The money in Hot Pot City is a lot more than a year ago, it is 3,400 taels. The consumption of a hot pot city in a town, two percent of the shares is so much silver two a month, you can imagine the prosperity of the hot pot city.

One percent of Yongfutang's shares are much more than those in Hot Pot City, which is 12,300 taels of silver. This amount is the share of the total profit of Yongfutang in the country, and since Li Ziyu knew the importance of the prescription here, she took this money with peace of mind.

She took the time to tell her aunt, Sister Xiaoou, Xiaoshan and Xiaowen about the shares of Yongfutang, in order to reassure them. Because the family has been building a house with great fanfare, they are very worried that the family will not have enough money.
