Chapter 186: Building a New House

It took ten days to build a house, which is also considered speed, after all, there are only eight or nine people, of course, the little babies are forgotten, except for Da Chu and Da Tou who can help, the other little babies are all blown away by Fang Jing, and they are not allowed to play in the new house.

After building a floor, Fang Jing actually wanted to get the cement layer the most, but without steel, Fang Jing could only use the wood that had been prepared to erect it.

Early the next morning, Fang Jingqian served Chen Erlin and the others, carrying the wood and erecting it at the grooves prepared on each layer, and then erecting some sawn planks on the top.

Qian Shi and Chen Erlin were very curious about the things that Fang Jing called cement, they only needed to add a little sand and water to fix all the stones, which were harder and easier to use than glutinous rice mortar, although they had doubts in their hearts, they didn't ask it, and Qian Shi wouldn't ask, these were Fang Jing's secrets, but he didn't dare to ask, Chen Erlin wouldn't ask, no one wanted to reveal his own things.

The house is built according to Fang Jing's design drawing, Fang Jing's construction drawing, some grass, can only be said to be a sub-sketch, and it is also painted on the ground, and a rough bamboo model is made, the family looks good-looking, two-story building, each floor has five rooms, one as a hall, two on each side, a staircase is erected behind the hall, you can go up to the second floor, this model is actually said to be the most common house building style in the south, but it has not yet appeared in this Tang Dynasty.

"Jing Wazi, this stone and wood is a bit too much to build a house." The little stone who came over in the morning looked at the house that had finished erecting the wooden planks on the second floor, and then looked at the stones and wood not far away, and was a little curious why Fang Jing's family had prepared so many stones and wood.

"Uncle Shi, these stones and timber are going to build three houses, otherwise there won't be so many, and the house I live in now will have to be rebuilt, but I'll have to wait a few years." Fang Jing explained to the little stone.

"I said, how can you get so many stones and wood, it seems that Jing Wazi you are going to build several houses, this is for the early bosses of them, you brother is doing well, if my family can have you in the future, I will enjoy endless blessings as a father." Xiao Shi looked envious, but he also knew that his own big hair and two hairs, but he didn't have those skills, so he could only look at them in his eyes and envy them in his heart.

"Uncle Shi, this house was originally built to give them to the early days, and when they grow up, they must have a place to live, otherwise my family can't live for so many people, so I can only work harder, isn't there no way." Fang Jing wanted to build a bigger and better house, so that several families could live together, just like the tube building in the previous life, but in Fangjia Village, it was basically impossible.

In one day, all the planks that should be laid are paved, there are no nails, and the inserts can be made of bamboo, which is also a familiar and commonly used method for Fang Da, sharpened bamboo pieces, which can completely replace the nails, which is also the wisdom of the ancients.

Fang Jing wanted to get some nails at first, but after seeing the bamboo pieces used by Fang Da, he realized that these bamboo pieces could completely replace the nails, and he completely believed that the wisdom of this ancient person was really as high as the sky, if this was placed in the previous life, he couldn't understand it, at least Fang Jing couldn't understand it.

In the next few days, Fang Jing and the others started the construction of the second floor, the speed is so fast, and there is a large bamboo forest nearby to use, Fang Jing will think of joining any idea, but fortunately, with the convenience of cement, the construction speed is faster.

Before the capping, you need to erect a main beam to cap, this is also a rule, but also a tradition, of course, this is not proposed by Fang Jing, but the village is saying that the main beam needs to be sacrificed, and it also needs to be blessed to the ancestors.

Then the village began to preside over the ceremony, Fang Jing was also happy to see it, although he didn't understand what the village was talking about, but it didn't affect the happiness of Fang Jing's family, at least Fang Jing saw it a little interesting, obviously a bit like the sacrificial style in the previous life.

Fang Jing from the village also wanted to kill a big rooster for sacrificial purposes, but was stopped by the village, at this time, there was no killing of the big rooster to sacrifice and build a house, only normal incense sacrifices, chanting some words that he didn't understand.

After the end of the sacrifice, Fang Jing erected the main beam on the roof, and then began to lay the bamboo pieces, which is also the case that Fang Jing could not find any tiles, using bamboo to replace the tiles, otherwise it would be better to get some tiles, at least it can be used for a longer time, if the bamboo is used, it can also be used for some time, but after a few years or more than ten years, it has to be replaced, if the bamboo is damaged, it has to be replaced from time to time.

A few days later, the construction of the house was finally completed, Fang Jing stood in front of the house, looking at the house built by these hands, and sighed in his heart, the wisdom of the working people should never be underestimated, only the working people are the greatest people.

"Jing Wazi, this door and window still have to be made, and the ground in this house still needs to be laid, where do you see this stove house and livestock house built?" Chen Erlin stood on the side of Fang Jing, looking at this beautiful new house, and was very satisfied, two floors, this is a rare house in the Zhuang family, at least this is the only one in Fangjia Village.

"Uncle, this stove house and livestock house will not be built for the time being, let's talk about it later, this door and window or something, these days I will work with Uncle Dayong, the land in the house, when the time comes, just use these cement and some sand to pave it, now it's not in a hurry, first use small stones to pave the ground." Fang Jing looked at the new house, calculating in her heart how to get other things done, after all, there were still a lot of things to be done in it, so that it could be considered a good house.

"Okay, but it's been hard for them during this time, you see this ......" Chen Erlin estimated in his heart how much money he had to give, after all, they were all here to help build the house, and it was not appropriate not to give money.

"Uncle, each of them is calculated according to fifty yuan, and today is also counted, it is not easy for everyone, everyone is busy at home, and they come to our house to help, and then send some eggs to each family, anyway, there are too many eggs at home to eat." Fang Jing can't be Huang Shiren, don't be a villager to help, and if you don't give money or things, then it will really chill everyone's hearts in the future.

"Okay." After listening to Fang Jing's words, Chen Erlin nodded and went home.

Fang Jing raised his legs and entered the newly built house, checking the houses one by one, the walls were a little uneven, and they had not yet been painted, these would take a few days to get it, after all, it was just a rough house, and it could only be like this, and when everything was complete, it must be a good house.

The stairs on the second floor have not been paved yet, but when the house was built, some wooden sections were inserted, which was convenient for the use of building the house at that time, and it was also convenient for erecting stairs in the future, Fang Jing was just thinking about getting a wooden staircase, it would not be too good, but it would not be too fine, as long as it could go upstairs, of course, the guardrail still needed to be done, Fang Jing was afraid that if the little babies went up and down the stairs in the future, it would be easy to fall down, which was not what Fang Jing was willing to see.

Dinner was made by Fang Jing, which was also requested by Fang Jing, after all, everyone had been looking forward to the food made by Fang Jing, and this happened to be as everyone wished, a large plate of fried bacon with chili, a large plate of beans and eggplants, two large plates of stuffed rabbit meat with bamboo shoots, two large plates of stewed pheasant with potatoes, and a large plate of pig's blood balls, plus a plate of green vegetables, this is all the dishes for dinner, of course, fruit brewing is indispensable, which is also indispensable every day.

"Hey, Jing Wazi, what is this dish, eating it is like eating a fire." The small stone sandwiched the chili pepper and fried bacon and tasted it, this taste is not comparable to the spicy knotweed, at least this spicy energy is not something that normal people can withstand.

"Uncle Shi, this is the seed I got from the Hu people, it's called chili, it won't be so spicy when you get used to it, you see my little uncle and aunt, they are all used to eating." Fang Jing loves this chili pepper the most, Zhang Xiaoxia is cooking these days, and she has never gone to the field to pick chili peppers to eat.

The peppers in the field have been planted for three months now, and they have grown enough to be picked and eaten, although they are not yet red, but the taste of the green peppers is also good, and the peppers have to take at least three or four months from seedling to maturity, and it takes at least one hundred and fifty days to fully mature.

"Hey, but it tastes really good, but my mouth and stomach are full of fire, and I have to drink the fruit slowly." Xiaoshi couldn't stand the spicy taste, so he had to find an excuse to drink the fruit brew.

"Jing Wazi's potato is delicious, no wonder Brother Dayong said that Jing Wazi's dishes are the best in Fangjia Village, now I believe it, if I can eat Jing Wazi's dishes every day, I am willing to do as much work as I want every day." The fat aunt has been eating potatoes, which is obviously beyond her previous understanding, the family cooks vegetables every day, but she has never eaten such a delicious meal, and now she finally eats the dishes made by Fang Jing, so she has to eat a lot of food, otherwise there will not be much chance in the future.

After dinner, everyone sat in the courtyard to rest, originally according to the past, they would basically go home after eating, but today it is not, mainly because everyone has eaten support, it is really eaten, even Fang Jing has eaten support, chili fried bacon, basically eaten by Fang Jing's family, others can't stand the spicy taste, and other dishes are also put in some chili noodles, just less.

After resting for a while, Zhang Xiaoxia went into the house, Fang Jing estimated that she had gone to prepare money and things, and Chen Erlin should have discussed it with Zhang Xiaoxia.

It didn't take long for Zhang Xiaoxia to come out with a few baskets, Chen Erlin also went over to help, and by the way, put some things in the basket, Fang Jing looked over and saw that there were still some potatoes in the basket, and there were two or three small watermelons.

The watermelon was also left over from the last time Fang Jing's family cleaned up the melon field, and there were a lot of them in the bamboo house now, and there was a lot of harvest when cleaning the melon field.

"These are for everyone, each person should carry a basket back, and you can't let everyone come over to help in vain." Chen Erlin and his wife came over with a few baskets and said to the six of them.

"Brother Chen, this is not good, we just came to help, how can we eat and take, and give back the money, this is unreasonable, if my father knows, he will have to break my legs." After listening to the words of Chen Erlin and his wife, Xiao Shi hurriedly refused.

"Elders, I know that there is no shortage of anything in your family now, but what, how can there be a meal to help, these things are all home-grown, raised chickens, everyone is reluctant to give the little babies to eat, can only be brought by me, the elder brother, the money is not much, but it is just a good sign, the new house is completed, naturally give everyone some happy money." Fang Jing said with a reason, although he knew that everyone was unlikely to accept it, but Fang Jing didn't want to be Huang Shiren.

"This ...... Okay, what Jing Wazi said, we can only take it, but we really can't do this in the future, otherwise, we won't come next time. Xiao Shi had no choice but to accept Fang Jing's statement.

It was getting late, and everyone went home with their own things, and Fang Jing's family continued to sit in the courtyard to rest, either eating watermelon, drinking tea, or drinking fruit brew.
