Chapter 15 Building a house is busy

The next day, the sound of a tractor woke Li Feng up from a beautiful dream. I looked up at the window, and it was gray, but when people came, the host couldn't help but entertain it. Scooped up a scoop of well water, patted his cheek, lifted his spirits, and followed his father Li Shan, handed over a cigarette, and lit a cigarette.

Zhang Lan took out the paper cup she bought the day before yesterday, sent tea, several people were masters, the car drove steadily, drank saliva, and drove into Taoyuan. Within a few minutes, the red bricks were unloaded, and I was in time to come back before breakfast.

Subsequently, the third uncle Li Fuqing rushed over with more than ten people just after breakfast, one of whom was introduced as the head of the construction team, and said that the manual fee was 12,000, Li Shan smiled and nodded, it seems that the price is not expensive. Li Feng stood on the side and watched his father talk with a few people, and waited until eight o'clock in the morning, when the tools and materials were ready, and he began to dig the foundation of the house. Before excavation, what must be done, Li Shan has already prepared, yellow paper, incense and firecrackers, these are all done according to the instructions of the second master. The younger generation of people has almost forgotten these rules, and even those at Li Shan's age can't understand these rules well.

Before breaking ground, there are a lot of things to do, at first put the incense burner along the four feet of the foundation, light the incense, then draw a line, trace the outline of the foundation, open the small door, welcome the door god, and burn yellow paper. How many pieces of yellow paper are there and how to burn them, Li Feng stared at Li Shan. Starting in front of the left and right doors, burning the middle hall, and finally sending it out of the courtyard. These are done well, in order to excavate the first shovel, while the excavation ignited the firecrackers, the sound of the thunderbolt ticket startled the birds and small animals in the mountains and forests, connected to Li Feng's family, fat boys, and little squirrels were scared to run around.

Li Feng looked at the excitement, but he didn't think so, but the houses in the village are like this, if he doesn't do it. Don't talk about the neighbors, even the construction team will look at you with different eyes, and even people won't do it for you, why, you don't worship God, for fear of disaster. Although in recent years, people have become less and less particular about these local customs, and it is also a matter of whether to do it before digging. At this time, Li Feng was holding a bamboo pole with a red cloth tied to it, and the firecrackers rang out, and the neighbors around heard the news and rushed to congratulate him. Another burst of cigarettes, handing water, busy for a while.

Laughing and laughing, the new house was built, Li Feng was excited in his heart, and stood happily with the old people in the village to laugh and scatter smoke. After more than ten minutes, the onlookers dispersed, and the construction team officially started to dig the foundation, and in less than ten o'clock, the foundation had been excavated for the most part.

Li Feng's family watched the hard work of the people, not to scatter cigarettes, add water, and call to rest, but they smiled and shook their heads. Don't say whether you want to rest or not, the head can be on the side, besides, these contractors have been calculated, do more work, start the next project faster, and make more money.

Li Feng's family said a few polite words, and watched others doing their work, and they didn't bother anymore. At half past ten, most of the soil on the surface of the foundation was cleaned, because it was at the foot of the mountain, the soil was not too deep and there were already stones. Li Feng looked at the bluestone below, an idea popped up in his heart, and pulled Li Shan to say his thoughts, Li Shan thought about it and felt that it was feasible.

Here, Li Shan found the contractor and Li Feng's third uncle, and several people discussed adding 2,000 yuan, and asked the construction team to help dig the foundation with stones, grind out some stone slabs, pave the road, and make the ground level. This matter is just a little more formalities, adding 2,000 yuan, which is equivalent to adding two days' wages, how can the foreman find this good thing, nodding again and again, the foundation belongs to the round business. It's just to do more, be careful, no one has more than a hundred yuan, not to mention the contractor, even the third uncle laughed. Li Feng watched his goal be achieved, and he was also happy in his heart.

The workers have tools in their hands, they don't need money for electricity, they hit stones, these people in the mountains are very familiar, Li Feng looked at the mountains and stones, was carried up, and thought beautifully, his yard was paved with big bluestones, planted a few flowers and plants, and led a bluestone path, which had the style of a pastoral villa.

The slate does not need to be too flat, you can grind off the sharp corners, walk on it with a hint of concave and convex feeling, whether it is after a meal, or in the evening, lead the dog, walk on it to enjoy the quiet and tranquil that is difficult to achieve in the city, sit on the foot massage, under the peach tree, smell the fragrance of peach blossoms, or the sweetness of peaches.

Or sweep the fallen leaves in autumn and see the snow in winter, Li Feng is more anxious, his hands and feet are not idle, helping to move the slates, the stones made by these tools are uneven, they can only be erected and leaned aside, Li Feng re-cleared out the place where the peach trees were placed.

Don't worry, more than a dozen people, plus complete tools, do the work, the speed is not to say, the foundation of a room is built in the morning.

Seeing that it was noon, Zhang Lan pulled Li Feng home, and people came to do work, according to the village rules, the first meal was to be eaten at the master's house, and the host only needed to entertain tea and cigarettes in the future, of course, the meal in Shangliang was indispensable.

There are two pots of vegetables in the vegetable garden at home in the past few days, but there are a lot of vegetables, shredded green pepper meat, braised eggplant in oil, leek eggs, bean slices, braised yellow eel, large pieces of grass carp, stewed soft-shelled turtle, and finally loofah egg soup.

There are a few more cold dishes, shoot cucumbers, preserved egg tofu, white sugar tomatoes, garlic amaranth, Li Feng helps Zhang Lan wash vegetables and cut vegetables, the pot at home is directly on the hard firewood, lit, stuffy, triple pot, two pots to stir-fry, the speed is not satisfied. After cutting the vegetables, Li Feng began to make cold dishes, the seasoning is the most important, the red pepper is chopped into minced pieces, put in a porcelain bowl, poured with boiling soybean oil, forced out the aroma, the garlic cloves are crushed, add the green pepper shreds and put them into the stone bowl, use the wooden pole of jujube wood, mash them into a liquid form little by little, until the garlic juice and green pepper juice are integrated.

In addition, take a clean bowl, add oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and homemade seasonings, stir well, pour it on the cold vegetables, and sprinkle some coriander to decorate. While Li Feng was doing it, he took advantage of Zhang Lan's inattention to put a piece in his mouth.

"Xiaobao, give me the fish quickly." Zhang Lan got out of the pot, put it on a plate, and a plate of shredded green pepper and pork was hot and out of the pot.

"Mom, woo, it's here." Li Feng was eating preserved eggs, and was choked by Zhang Lan's scream. Zhang Lan looked helpless and glared, this kid really can't help it. "Quick, the oil is boiling in the pot." After the hard wood is smoldering, this pot can't be stopped, and it must be burned in one go, usually Zhang Lan's family is not like this, but today the time is a little urgent. Three pots, in fact, are only two large and one small, the small one is close to the chimney, the small basin is large, just half a pot of water, the smoke enters the chimney with a trace of fire, one less meal, almost a pot of hot water, wash your face, wash your feet.

"Mom, give it." Li Feng held a bowl of grass carp pieces, grass carp pieces with salt and flour, fried some, golden, fragrant, mixed with water, plus ginger pieces, green onions, seasonings, rice wine, sauce and vinegar, thickening. After a while, the smell of fish came out and filled with soup bowls.

Li Feng held a large piece of grass carp steaming, took a deep breath, the fragrance was slightly sour, swallowed saliva, Li Feng took the bowl and put it on the table of the eight immortals, today set up two tables, Li Feng and his mother Zhang Lan were busy for an hour, Li Shan led the people to wash their faces and go on the table.

Li Fukui was also invited over today, the second master didn't come today, and Li Feng could only serve food and get wine. However, Li Feng left some of everything in the kitchen, and after serving, the mother and son were idle and had a hot meal.

"Mom, let's sit in the town that day, I'm too busy." Li Feng took a bite of the grass carp piece, spit out the thorns, and sandwiched a piece of meat for Zhang Lan, but no, making two tables, his mother and son were tired and sweating.

"You kid, you have two money, you have burned buns, how much is a table in the town, at least one hundred and fifteen, how many vegetables can you buy." Zhang Lan bit the piece of meat that her son sandwiched to herself, her heart was sweet, knowing that her son was looking at her hard work, but what she said had another meaning.

"Hehe, Mom, think about it, the people in the village came to congratulate me on the day of Shangliang, at least three or four tables, how can my family put it." Li Feng smiled bitterly, this is not a matter of a little money, the two of them are busy with two tables of dishes, and they are already a little in a hurry. Three or four tables, not to say that they can't put it at home, only to talk about the food, it's too late.

"That's right, let your dad go to the town in a few days to see which food is good, and it may make others unhappy." Zhang Lan has eaten all the vegetables grown by the spring water these days, for fear that other people's dishes are not as young as her own, which will affect the taste.

At this time, the house was very lively, everyone was drinking beer, liquor was not drinkable, there was work in the afternoon, eating vegetables, Li Shan, Li Fukui, and Li Fuqing, as the host, beckoned everyone to eat vegetables.

"Hehe, Boss Li, don't be busy, it's all a family, hehe, come and I'll toast you." The foreman took a bite of green vegetables, his eyes lit up, and he looked at the ordinary shredded green pepper meat, which tasted so good, the green pepper slightly had a hint of spiciness, refreshing and delicious, and there was no fishy smell of pork at all, which was rare.

"Come on, hehe, Boss Zhao is polite." Li Shan was made the boss, he was happy, got up and drank the beer, and then toasted three glasses to each table at two tables, and finally Li Feng went out with him, filling a bottle at each table, hehe. Everyone ate lively, and said loudly that the wine was good, and the food was better.

The guests and hosts who ate at noon were all suitable children, after eating, they would rest for a while and continue to work, Li Feng helped Zhang Lan clean up the dishes, did not follow the past, rested for a while, and went into the mountain in the afternoon, it is really an old rule, it was originally yesterday, but unfortunately Li Shan was drunk yesterday. After resting, Li Feng didn't think about it, so he could only go over today, Li Shan looked at the house and carried the incense cannon by himself. Li Feng said to Zhang Lan and went out, and the little fat boy and the squirrel followed him.
