Chapter Eighty-Nine: Mutton on the Coal Stove

"Auntie, isn't it time to turn off the fire?" Wei Renshi fanned his clothes and said to Mrs. Tai, who was wiping her sweat.

Mrs. Tai shook her head and said happily: "What my son has made is amazing, a small thing can make the house so hot if it is left in the house." Wouldn't it be cold in the house during the winter? ”

"It's only the end of summer and the beginning of autumn." Wei Renshi said to her: "If you do this again, be careful to get cold when you get out of the house later." ”

"There is still water on it, and there is hot water all day long." Mrs. Tai was still very happy, sitting on the edge of the coal stove, her face was red with heat, and she did not leave, completely ignoring Wei Renshi's words.

Helpless, Wei Renshi went directly to block the ventilation fire vent with a coal fire cover, and the fire inside would slowly extinguish after the cover was tightened.

Then he dragged Mrs. Tai out of the coal stove and went to the door a little.

Fortunately, the doors and windows were always open, otherwise the house would have been even hotter.

"In previous years, when it was winter, it was inconvenient for my mother's body to stiffen and move." Mrs. Tai stared at the coal stove and said, "With my son making this thing this year, it will be much better for my mother." ”

"Don't worry, our new house will be built in the winter. It's not going to be cold in the house anymore. Wei Renshi said: "I will build this warm wall and hot kang together, and I will definitely not freeze you again this winter." ”

"What's that?" Mrs. Tai asked.

"You'll know when the time comes." Wei Renshi shook his head with a smile, pointed to the coal stove and said, "Looking at this coal stove, I suddenly became greedy." No, I'm going to eat hot pot tomorrow! Xi'er, do we still have dogwood? ”

Xi'er nodded: "And." ”

"Good!" Wei Renshi waved his fist: "Xi'er, come with me tomorrow morning to buy some mutton, and then pick some vegetables, and I'll make something to eat for you when I come back!" ”

We can't get butter, and we can't make butter pot bottoms. But isn't this brushed mutton also the best taste?

Wei Renshi's saliva was about to flow.

In the early morning of the next day, Wei Renshi actually got up earlier than Xi'er for the first time. Come together, and take Xi'er to Fuchang.

The newly killed sheep bought a whole piece of clean meat, and bought some vegetables and vegetables that could be boughtβ€”fortunately, when they came back, they met people from the same village and helped bring them back, otherwise the two of them would not have come back.

"Shut it down, it's time to have a car." Wei Renshi sighed: "Alas, I really miss my second-hand Aifu eggs. ”

Shaking his head, Wei Renshi turned around and went into the stove and began to pick it up.

After working for most of the morning, I finally got almost ready. As soon as Wei Renshi came out, he heard a knock on the door.

went over and opened the door, but found Jiao Haiqing standing outside, followed by a person, probably the person he found to build the house.

"What smells so good?" As soon as Jiao Haiqing entered the courtyard, he immediately smelled the fragrance.

"It's really time for you to come, I just made a coal stove, and I'm going to use it to eat something delicious." Wei Renshi smiled: "This is the good hand who builds a house in Brother Jiao's mouth!" ”

"Don't dare to be, Jiao Langjun is too high-minded." The man hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, and said, "Wei Langjun, don't worry, the small one is called Liang Pimple, and he has built a house for a lifetime, and whatever you say, the small one can be built for you." ”

Wei Renshi went over and took the drawings he had drawn, handed them to him, and said, "I have drawn the drawings myself, you have to cover them according to what I have drawn." Look, can you understand it? ”

The man picked it up and looked at it for a while, then looked up and said, "This ...... This doesn't look like a ...... for people to live in."

"Yes, you really understand." Wei Renshi nodded and smiled: "That's great." I need to build a lot of things, and it's not like a normal house. Naturally, the salary will not be disadvantaged to you. ”

The man looked down again and said, "Wei Langjun is going to build two more houses, and then build this one...... Quite a few for people to live? ”

"It's called a barn, and it's a place where pigs and sheep are used." Wei Renshi said: "The other two halls want to be built in a row next to the west side of the courtyard, open in the middle, and take advantage of the current gate. All of these things need to be repaired and repaired as well. In addition, I have a place where I need to build five more normal houses. ”

When the man heard this, he said, "Well, the little one will be able to bring someone to work immediately." ”

"That's for the best." Wei Renshi nodded: "That's it, since Brother Jiao can trust you, then I can trust you too." I will hand over the drawings to you, and if you have any doubts, come to me, and I will explain it to you. From the purchase of this house to the completion of the building, I will leave it to you to manage. Naturally, you won't be missing from your salary. You make a price. I'm going to build it all before the winter, and I'll pay you a little more." ”

The man looked at the drawings, thought for a while, and said, "Since Wei Langjun can trust me, then I will also pat my conscience and say to Wei Langjun, please rest assured that Wei Langjun." The house I build must be strong, and I will never cut corners. When you buy something, you must buy good things. It doesn't cost much to renovate, and the specifications of the two new houses must be at least the same as your current ones, and I don't think they are quite the same as ordinary houses, as if there are more things, which needs to be spent more. The five houses are at the usual price. In addition, this barn is a bit complicated, not a familiar way, not easy to build, and it needs to take more. I have to come down, and the little one can't figure out how to get down to 700 times. It was more expensive than the two houses that were newly built, and on the barn. If you are a small person in this business, how much do you have to earn some money? And it has to be covered before winter, which is actually a bit of a rush. ”

Seven hundred, which is about the same as Wei Renshi expected.

So Wei Renshi also nodded and said, "It's a straight talker." Seven hundred, that's easy to say. But you have to make sure the house is sturdy. ”

"That's nature, if it's not strong, where will we Fuchang big families go to find small covers?" The man nodded.

"Okay, then it's decided." Wei Renshi said.

"Good!" The man stood up and said, "The little one will go and arrange for the manpower." Wei Langjun, can you take these small drawings with you? It's a good idea to discuss with the craftsmen. After all, there are some of them that we haven't covered. ”

Wei Renshi nodded.

The man should have taken his leave and returned.

"Let's go after dinner." Wei Renshi got up and smiled.

"You have to cover it all before winter, and you have to hurry up while you can. The small ones should go back and discuss with the craftsmen how to build them earlier, and bring people to start work tomorrow! The man said.

When Wei Renshi heard him say this, he didn't stay any longer.

After he left, Jiao Haiqing smiled and said: "See, it's not unreasonable for this guy to do such a good job of building a house - hey, Brother Renshi, what delicious thing did you make at noon today?" ”

Wei Renshi was about to answer him, but he heard a knock on the door, and a voice came from outside: "Take the liberty of disturbing, dare to ask if this is Wei Renshi's house?" ”
