Chapter 253, Life in the City
Of course, in the afternoon, Wang Gensheng bought pots and pans, bought some beds, quilts and other things and officially entered his new house.
In the entire Moon Bay community, as the key was sent, hundreds of families officially moved in on the same day, which also made the whole community lively.
For people in this era, there is no decoration at all, the land is paved with cement, and the walls are whitewashed, which is already the most luxurious decoration in this era, and there is no need to toss anything at all.
In particular, this group of people who bought houses were basically seafarers, and these people used to be bitter haha, that is, they were lucky to follow Liu Jin, and they entered the academy to study, and this is the day when the salted fish turned over.
Being able to live in such a house is enough for them, unlike some rich merchants and gentry, these people naturally can't look at such a house, they can build it themselves if they have money, and they all pay attention to the portal, which must be big and luxurious.
Dong Chunhua is busy in the kitchen of the new house, which is individually designed, with a traditional stove and a coal stove specially used to burn honeycomb coal, which is a matching gift.
"This house is expensive, but no matter how you look at it, it is comfortable."
Dong Chunhua is naturally very concerned about the place where she will work in the future, and quickly figured out everything in the kitchen, the kitchen is not big, but everything is designed very well, I like it very much, it is far from being comparable to the kitchen of my hometown in the countryside.
The kitchen here is very bright and clean, especially this sink, which she likes the most, whether it is washing pots and pans, or washing clothes or something, it is very convenient, the faucet is pressed, the water will come out, no need to draw water, let alone carry water, it is so convenient.
Of course, this is just the beginning, in the next few days, Dong Chunhua likes this house more and more, and what she likes the most is the toilet.
The thatched toilet in the Moon Bay community is similar to the thatched toilet in later generations, and it is very clean and tidy after being used up, and there is an independent thatched toilet in this house, so life is too convenient and too much.
You must know that in this era, whether it is in the city or in the countryside, this latrine is an extremely inconvenient thing, and the city needs to use special utensils, and then concentrate on processing them together, you can imagine the taste.
As for the countryside, it is even more so, many times it is solved at random outside, or there is a special place in a village, but the conditions are very simple and very non-**.
Now it's completely different, this new type of latrine solves all the problems, clean, tidy, convenient, safe, and confidential, which makes Dong Chunhua like it the most.
"Or the people in the city know how to enjoy it~"
Dong Chunhua sighed like this, she is a country woman, with long hair and short knowledge, naturally she doesn't know that even if she is in the capital, no one can enjoy such a life.
Only in the many industries under Liu Jin's command can there be such a latrine, even if such a latrine is placed in the later generations, it is quite possible, you must know that a certain large country in South Asia that claims to be the second largest country in the world has not solved this problem until two thousand years.
In addition to all aspects of the house, Dong Chunfang feels very satisfied, and she also likes the many supporting facilities in the community.
There are more than a dozen shops in the center of the community, and as the community is put into use, these dozen shops are also opening one after another.
There are grain stores, rice from the south of the Yangtze River, flour from the north, chestnut rice, etc., all of them, with a complete range of varieties and excellent quality, but the price is relatively not cheap.
There is a butcher's shop, pork, lamb, a variety of seafood, chickens, ducks and geese from rural areas, you can choose from it, and even the occasional beef is sold.
There are grocery stores, all kinds of groceries needed for life, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc., which can be bought in the community without going to Tianjin City at all.
There is even a rouge gouache shop, the things in it are expensive, Dong Chunhua just entered and looked at it and asked casually and came out immediately, after all, she is still not used to the current life, this money is still the same as before.
The shops in the community greatly facilitate the life of the community, outside the community, because this is the new city of Tianjin, and it is also very close to the planned market in the new city.
There is even more everything to buy in the market, which has formed a bustling small block, and it is also very convenient to go shopping.
On this day, Dong Chunhua and Fan Lianhua, the wife of Chen Laosan next door, were walking in the Moon Bay community very casually, and the two of them came to Tianjin, except for laundry and cooking, and housework.
Wang Gensheng and Chen Laosan have to go to sea every day, and they are no longer at home most of the time, and the children in the family have now gone to study at Moon Bay Private School.
This made the two country women also have nothing to do all at once, and for them, who are used to hard work, they have nothing to do at this time, but they feel uncomfortable and don't know what to do.
"It's comfortable to live in this city, but it costs money everywhere, you see, this is oil, salt, firewood and rice every day, that's not money, this has to pay property fees and water bills every month, and after all, this is not enough to withstand the expenses at all."
Fan Lianhua was settling economic accounts with her fingers.
"It's not, I said I wanted to eat beef, so I went to the market outside early and cut two catties of beef, ready to make sauce meat, this beef is expensive, two catties of beef cost dozens of yuan."
Dong Chunhua also nodded, if it weren't for the fact that the head of the house would make money, they really wouldn't have been able to live here, where is the life of the countrymen.
The money of dozens or hundreds of wen is spent every day, and if it is placed in the countryside, it may not be able to spend much money in a month.
"It's nothing to spend money, our two heads can also make money, this money should still be spent, the most uncomfortable thing for me is that I don't have anything to do except laundry and cooking at home, you know, where can we countrymen live, this has nothing to do, and I feel uncomfortable."
Fan Lianhua smiled and nodded, thought about it and said.
"I heard that there are many workshops and factories in Tianjin that are recruiting people, and I wonder if I should also find a time to do it, otherwise if I continue to be idle like this, people will rust."
"There are a lot of them, there are many workshops and factories in Tianjin, and the salary is not bad, I have already asked someone to send a letter to my family, so that my younger brothers and sisters will come out and work in Tianjin."
"My boss won't let me go out to work, saying that he is also a seafarer now, and if this wife still goes out to work, people will laugh at him."
"But we're all countrymen, and it's so uncomfortable to do nothing."
"Listen to what you say, I also want to ask someone to repair the book and go home, so that everyone in the family can come to Tianjin to work."
The two of them kept chatting.
Both of them are from the same village, and they used to be very familiar, but now when they go outside, they are naturally together every day, shopping for groceries, shopping and so on.
For the current life, they naturally like it, life is carefree, the only worry is that they always feel very uncomfortable when they are idle and have nothing to do.
But this is also the trouble of happiness, after all, no one likes to be tired, everyone wants to live a quiet life, and they are just talking.
Seeing the prosperity of Tianjin and enjoying the rich life here, they also went to their homes and mother's homes to repair books, preparing to call their younger brothers and sisters to Tianjin here, just like the future generations.
