Chapter 70: The Mystery of God
Wangcai is gone, and I don't know how many planks he can bring out of the house.
"Xiao Anzi, wash the feathers in this sack, and then put them in the yard to dry. Well, there are also sacks, which are also washed by the way, and they are all dried and opened. There were some stains on the outside of the sack, and there were some feathers inside, Chen Ping gave the sack to Chen An, "Pick some soap horns into it, and soak it in hot water first." ”
"Why should I get it?" As soon as he heard Chen Ping finish speaking, Chen An felt troublesome, and he had to wash it again, and he had to add soap horns, "With so many feathers, when will I wash them?" ”
"Why are you so stupid? Take a wooden basin or clay pot, pour hot water, pick out some soap horns into it, soak the feathers for a while, and then scrub it. Chen Ping still has to arrange a livestock nest here, and he can't spare his hand, "When this feather is harvested a lot, your jacket can be filled with fluff, which is much warmer and more comfortable than the reed catkins." ”
Fluff, which is hard to buy even with money, is as comfortable as the animal fur, but it is more precious than the animal fur, and in terms of rarity, it is also comparable to the cotton jacket.
Chen Ping's family has mulberry fields, and some mulberry elm trees are planted on the edge of the field, and during the silkworm raising season, Liu will also pick mulberry leaves to feed young silkworms. However, Chen Ping did not see the loom at home, and the silkworm cocoons were mostly used to pay directly, and the silk of two zhang, plus three taels of cotton, were offset by silkworm cocoons.
Two zhang of silk is almost the amount of a robe in Dingding, which can be worth four or five hundred dollars. For ordinary people, this is also a lot.
Fifty mulberry trees, that's not for fun.
"Okay." There are good things Chen An has never lagged behind, and when he heard this, he immediately ran to the front yard with a sack.
Chen Ping in the backyard wants to divide it into three sections, the area occupied by the little wild boar is equal to that of the group of small wild ducks, and as for the roe deer, it is enough to give a one-step position. Like the previous latrine, Chen Ping measured the length on the ground, drew traces, and then completely dismantled the damaged reed wall.
"The reed is rotten, but the stake is still good." The depth of the stake into the soil was not small, Chen Ping shook it twice, but he didn't move it out.
"That's for sure, that fir was cut by me from Liuhe Mountain, even if it is not as strong as a willow tree, it can be used for some years." Chen Xiaoyi saw Chen Ping shaking the wooden stake, with some pride of the head of the family, "The beam frame in this house was also cut by me and your grandfather in the mountain, and this wooden stake is the leftover material of the house frame." ”
"Then why don't you cut more? It's all reeds, and they fall down when you push them. Chen Ping said.
In a word, Chen Xiaoyi, who seemed very proud just now, immediately stopped. That expression Chen Ping looked at it and shouted bad in his heart, as if unconsciously, he hurt Grandpa's self-esteem again?
Sure enough, Chen Xiaoyi's face immediately turned ugly: "What do you know?" Think the firewood in the mountains is so easy to cut? Isn't it for someone to be carried down from the mountains? ”
"It's not a big yard, so it doesn't use much wood." Chen Pingdao.
"What do you have to do with so much timber in a yard? As hard as I can, when I have that free time, I might as well cut down the fir wood and sell it in the county. Chen Xiaoyi couldn't look down on his son's wasteful thoughts, "Do you know how much this cedar tree can be sold for?" ”
"How much?"
Chen Ping really didn't know that the fir wood that can be on the beam is at least as thick as a ding's calf, and the length must be three zhang upward, so that it can play the role of structure and support.
"A good fir tree will cost dozens of dollars." Chen Xiaoyi said.
"That's expensive." Saying this in his mouth, Chen Ping didn't think so in his heart.
Dozens of texts, less than 100 texts, no pair of shoes are expensive, although Liuhe Mountain is not far from the village, but carrying the trees also has to walk all the way, the road itself is narrow, which is labor-intensive.
Who's going to carry it? Those who buy wood? Definitely not, this timber has to be cut down by home, and after going to the branches, it will be transported down the mountain, and it will not be sold in the county or city. In this way, it is really too cheap to calculate dozens of dollars a piece.
"However, Liuhe Mountain does not prohibit logging, which is equivalent to a share of money for nothing. For the villagers, it is indeed a large amount of income. Chen Ping thought that the last piece of land was flattened, and the broken reeds were also taken to the front of the yard to dry, and they could also be used as firewood.
In the yard, the little madman and Chen Zhen were chasing the little wild duck there, and even the sunflower vegetable field was damaged by the two of them, and several were trampled on.
Seeing that Chen Ping was there, the little madman suddenly stopped, and he was still holding a little wild duck in his hand, which seemed to be the second one of the middle two, and walked over: "I will discuss something with you." ”
"What's the matter?" Drawing water from the well, Chen Ping cleaned it, and the well water that had just been dug out was still steaming, but it was not cold, even warm.
"I'll sleep in your house today." The little madman is mysterious.
Chen Ping shook his hand, a little strange: "At my house?" It's not like you haven't been in that room, it's so messy, it's not as comfortable as Xiaoya's home, right? Besides, you sleep in my house, where do I go with Xiao Anzi? ”
In such a big winter, even in the daytime, it is very cold, not to mention at night, and the work of laying the floor in the summer is not possible now. This typhoid fever is really life-threatening, Chen Ping has already tasted it, but he is not willing to try it again.
"It's okay, I'll squeeze with you both." The little madman didn't seem to mind, "I've also seen that bed, and it's not a problem to sleep three people." ”
Is it really informal, do you really regard yourself as a child of the rivers and lakes? But Chen Ping didn't dare to do this.
"No, you either leave today, or go to Chen Ya's house at night." Chen Ping's expression was serious, "This matter is not negotiable. ”
"You're ...... in the room"
"You don't use this threat, even if you go and tell your grandfather, even if you throw me into the river, you can't live in my house." Chen Ping knew that this little madman was going to threaten him again, so he immediately blocked it, "However, if you want to hear the story, you can." ”
In a word, except for living in your own home, everything else is negotiable.
"Don't let me forget it, I'll go find Xiaoya." The little madman raised his hand, and the little wild duck threw it at Chen Ping.
Chen Ping caught the little wild duck with both hands and gently put it on the ground, looking for Xiaoya? What's the use of looking for her?
Is this little madman sick today? I said yesterday that I couldn't live in my own house, and I agreed, why did I change my mind at this moment?
"There's a problem." Chen Ping looked at the courtyard, the little madman was pulling Chen Ya, a little far away, and he didn't know what the two girls were talking about, Chen Ya looked at it from time to time, "Could it be that I am too handsome, and that little madman has taken a fancy to me?" ”
Hitting is kissing, scolding is love? But this is not right, that little madman is about to kill himself, is it possible that he loves to death?
Shaking his head, Chen Ping couldn't figure it out, and he didn't bother to care about it, he turned his head and saw Chen Ping's feathers drying in the yard, and immediately shouted: "Xiao Anzi, how did you dry your bird feathers?" How can it be so piled up? ”
