Chapter 103: There is coal in the river
In the blink of an eye, half a month to see the Shenmu Village is already another scene, a chimney with green smoke is erected all over the village, every household is burning kang, although there is still no one to see on the road, but at least these green smoke has made the village have a lot of life.
As the saying goes, people's hearts move together with Mount Tai, and Wu Zheng doesn't know if Shenmu Village can move Mount Tai, but from digging soil and burning bricks to building kang in every household, it only took half a month for more than 200 households in Shenmu Village.
But there doesn't seem to be anything to do with Wu Zheng here, because since he gave Chen Sandao and them an idea that day, he didn't care about the rest of the matter, and he either stayed on the kang and wandered around the world all day long, or went to see the three boys, and at this time, everyone could at least occasionally see him in the village.
But four days later, when the three boys' illnesses were cured by him, the people in the village never saw him again, except for Liu Mang, who lived next door to his house, and occasionally heard Xiang'er call him up to eat, he had almost faded out of sight.
Therefore, it can be said that this matter is all caused by Seinfeld and the group of masons of Chen Sandao themselves, and Seinfeld has contributed to the management of human resources at such a speed.
It's not that Wu Zheng deliberately wants to avoid suspicion, but Seinfeld's management ability is indeed stronger than him, if you want to say that ten Wu Zheng can't catch up with one Chen Sandao by burning bricks and building kang, so if you can't do it, you have to admit it, it's stupid to show your energy when you don't understand, and it's wise to hand over what you don't understand to someone who understands.
Of course, this is Wu Zheng's statement to Seinfeld, only grandma knows that her grandson is good at everything but too lazy.
But what! Wu Zheng can tell stories and make the whole family happy! The family sat on the disordered kang on a cold day and listened to Wu Zheng tell those imaginary stories, and grandma felt that it was the most important thing for the family to do this winter.
Wu Zheng's family tells stories, and the men in other people's families don't have such good eloquence, so they can only talk about the family around the kang, and from time to time there are people who come to the door, most of these people are bachelors in the village.
You have to use firewood to burn this kang! So it also gave these single men an excuse to go to the door, to resist a bundle of firewood mixed with a meal, and then sit on the kang and talk nonsense with people Hu Tianhai, so this opening is generally to praise Wu Zheng, how smart the uncle is, because without him to make this kang, how can they have an excuse to go to the door to eat.
Then it is to slander Chen Sandao, how those guys are stupid, obviously have a good skill in building bricks and stoves, but they don't know how to build a kang for their homes, and everyone has been frozen for so many years.
Although these words are all incisions for them to eat, but this is very marketable in the village, because the kang proposed by Wu Zheng is really practical, although I don't know how to do it this winter, it is getting colder and colder year by year, but after having this kang, everyone knows that even if it is cold in the future, it will not be difficult.
So Wu Zheng's uncle is indispensable in the hearts of everyone, every time he talks about his uncle, whether it is in his heart or in his hands, he gives him a thumbs up, Wu Zheng's uncle is the legendary star descending to earth.
What star? The savior of Shenmu Village.
This is not a big boss, and the second boss and a few brothers drove the ox cart down the mountain to buy grain, as for where did the money come from? I heard that my uncle used one hundred taels as a book, and it took less than an hour to win seven thousand taels of silver from a frenzied profiteer.
Liu Mang went down the mountain to buy grain, and the people in the village who left early in the morning saw it, and there were eight brothers such as He Lao Wu, Chen Sandao, and Wang Er, who drove four carts away, and how much grain did these four carts have to load?
No matter how much it is loaded, everyone thinks that this winter, the village will no longer worry about wintering food.
Now there are still well-informed people who know that after the spring begins tomorrow, my uncle will let them open up the wasteland in the mountains.
If Wu Zheng hadn't said this, if anyone else had said this, it would definitely have attracted everyone's scorn, and they would have cultivated land in the mountains? Don't be funny, what kind of food can be grown in this high mountain and far away, Shenmu Village has been established for so many years, if you can really make food, then the old people have already taken the lead in planting, where will you still live by robbing every day like now?
But when these words came out of Wu Zheng's mouth, the effect was different, although Wu Zheng had not been in Shenmu Village for a few months, but the things he did, from delivering He Lao Wu's wife, to taking salt from the stone nest, to now winning seven thousand taels of silver in less than an hour, which one of these things does not seem to be taken for granted in the eyes of ordinary people?
But Wu Zheng has made all these impossibilities possible, which everyone has seen with their own eyes, so now even if Wu Zheng says that sows can also go up trees, they will not have the slightest suspicion.
Wu Zheng didn't know if the sow would go up the tree, but now passing by Liu Sijia's house, he saw the half of the stone exposed on their adobe wall, which was definitely a piece of coal.
"Brother Liu, where is this stone in your house?"
"Uncle! What are you doing here? ”
Before Wu Zheng could speak, Liu Si's wife in the house heard Liu Si's words and yelled at Liu Si angrily: "Are you in charge of the house, can you speak, why can't my uncle come." What are you doing there, don't invite your uncle in quickly, don't freeze your uncle on such a cold day outside. ”
Before Wu Zheng and Liu Si could react, Liu Wangshi appeared at the door and saw that the apron on her waist was probably cooking in the house just now.
"Uncle, please sit inside, go to the kang to get cold." After speaking, he gave Liu Si a powder fist next to him and said: "Why don't you go and add firewood to the stove to burn the hot spot?" ”
Liu Si smiled at Wu Zheng embarrassedly, there was no way that Liu Si was a thief before, this Liu Wang family could not care about his identity, he was with him, and gave birth to a dog for him, adding incense to the Liu family.
Although he has never given himself a good color, he is really good to himself and his children, such a woman Liu Si can get in his life, and he himself feels that there is green smoke on his ancestral grave.
Even if she is a little spicy and makes herself look a little sloppy in front of others, but in Liu Si's opinion, she is also a knife mouth, how can she quarrel with her for these little things.
However, in Wu Zheng's opinion, Liu Wang's move of asking himself to go to the kang and breaking her man apart, no matter how you look at it, I feel that I am Ximen Qinglai Hui Pan Jinlian.
Wu Zheng said: "Sister-in-law, I just passed by and saw that this stone on the wall of your house was a little special, so I stopped and asked Brother Liu where this stone came from." ”
Liu Si said: "Uncle, in fact, this is nothing special, this is a piece of charcoal, there are a lot of this stone in the small river in our back mountain, and the ore vein is in the Tiangu Pass in this back mountain." If my uncle likes it, I'll carry a basket for you. ”
"Brother Liu, are you saying that this coal is wrong, and this coal is not underground? Can you pick up a basket with what you pick up? ”
Liu Si said with a smile: "It's under the ground but it's not buried deep, every summer when there is a lot of rain, every time there is a flash flood, a large piece can be washed out, and now you want to carry a basket of this charcoal to actually don't need to go to Tiangu Pass, just go to the river to pick it up." Uncle Yang, this is what they use to make iron, but if my uncle wants to burn it, it's best to burn it outside, because this thing is poisonous and will kill people if it burns in the house. ”
