Of these nearly thirty or forty people, some of them were brought by Xue Wang from Shangtu Village, and more than a dozen were Ding Fu from Baitu Village.

A few half-old boys are also there, Chen Ping never lets people work in vain, as long as they come to help, they are all paid.

"Brother Ping, you're here." Chen Shun hugged three green bricks, walked to the ground of the brick kiln that had been tamped and expanded, put the green bricks, stood up straight, wiped the sweat stains on his forehead, and turned around to see Chen Ping who had seen it, grinning, "I have moved ten hands of bricks today." ”

Whether it is older or younger than Chen Ping in the village now, when he sees Chen Ping, he always has to call Brother Ping.

"That's five cents, that's good, but don't get tired, it's okay to slow down." Chen Pingdao, move 20 green bricks, give a penny, the price is already very high, the amount is not large, the green bricks were first pulled from Shangtu Village with an ox cart, Chen Shun and others have to do is to follow Xue Wang's instructions, move to the point of using bricks.

Chen Shunzi's family is here, his brother and grandfather are a little farther away, leveling the land, and the two younger brothers are moving green bricks like Chen Shunzi.

Xue Wang led people to build brick kilns, and the rest of the people, like Chen Shun, who had not yet grown up, were mostly helping out on the side.

Pulling weeds, picking up dead branches, or moving bricks are busy, but orderly.

"It is still necessary to speak before the start of construction." Chen Ping nodded and affirmed himself.

Thirty acres of mountain and woodland, the title deed Chen Ping has already gotten his hands, put it in his own small treasury and put it away, Chen Ping originally intended to be a piece of the stream, but it was too far, and there were many sand and stones, and the amount of clay was not much, Chen Ping chose this piece of land not far from the village, which was as much as 20 acres, and it was connected into a piece.

The location occupied by a piece of land with a brick kiln is actually not large, less than five acres, and there are fifteen acres of mountain woodland, which Chen Ping intends to use to raise some chickens, ducks and livestock, and the specific is still being planned.

And it is necessary to wait for the brick kiln to finish the work before someone can help build the wall, otherwise the chickens and ducks will be released into the mountains and forests, and they will probably run out.

There are another ten acres of mountain woodland, Chen Ping chose the creek, included the cave, and then extended to the stone pile upstream of the stream.

"It's time to eat, stop for a while, come and eat." Chen Ping was thinking about it, and the Liu family pushed a small cart, and the Wang family helped him on the side, and came here.

The meal is steamed buns, white flour steamed buns, although there is no filling inside, but the amount is sufficient, and each person is full. Then there is a wooden bucket of hot soup with eggs and vegetable leaves, and it is really delicious with steamed buns.

"Steamed cakes, eat steamed cakes." Chen Shunzi's second brother threw the green brick in his hand and ran away screaming.

The next few little babies also followed behind, shouting, very excited.

Others are not in a hurry, for more than ten days in a row, three meals a day, one meal is full, and every three or four days, they can also eat meat.

I really didn't go wrong.

"Don't worry, Junko, take your brother and wash your hands." Chen Ping stopped in front of Liu, his face pale, "How many times have I told you?" First, I went to wash my hands, and then I came to line up. ”

Chen Shun pulled his two younger brothers and went to wash his hands in the water, which was the way to line up. The same is true for other people, for more than ten days, they are also used to it, although the requirements for Chen Ping are strange, but they are not only full, but also eat white noodles and dry rice at a meal, and there are more rules.

Xue Wang was the last to put down his tools, washed his hands in the water, didn't rush to line up, and walked to Chen Ping's side: "The soil quality of this place is very good, close to the water source, and there are many trees in the mountains, so it is really convenient to build a brick kiln here." In less than ten days, the brick kiln will be completed, and it will take some time for the bricks to be produced. ”

From the site selection of the brick kiln to the arrangement of manpower, Xue Wang is in charge of the specific construction of the brick kiln alone, and Chen Ping is to stipulate some orderly things on the side, mostly to assist.

Chen Ping learned about the brick kiln firewood from Xue Wang two days ago, and Chen Ping always thought that it was time to burn coal. How wasteful is it to use firewood as raw materials?

Instinctively, Chen Ping was disgusted. But now I have to do this, I want to have coal, but I haven't found it yet, so I can only wait to find it again, and this thing depends on luck.

Deep coal mines are difficult to find and difficult to mine, and as for the open field coal mine, this is not a difficult to mine, but it is not easy to encounter.

Shaking his head, Chen Ping no longer thinks about these, the problem of productivity has to be solved step by step, the current output of the brick kiln is enough for his own use, as for the improvement is follow-up.

"By the way, there's one more thing I have to tell you." Xue Wang patted his head, and people forgot about it when they were busy, "A few days ago, someone asked if there was still a need for manpower here. ”

Rice, there is still salary to take, bamboo baskets, steamed buns padded with clean linen, **** sent here, and the surrounding neighbors are watching. Then there are these helpers who are from nearby villagers, go back and pass it on, or secretly take one or two steamed buns home for their own babies to eat, so that the village neighbors can see it, and people want to come.

"Wait a minute, there are enough people now." Chen Pingdao.

Before it was opened, Chen Ping spent nearly thirty taels of silver, and this morning in the county town Yang He took Yang Ping, who had a table and chair, to show Chen Ping, which was very suitable, and Chen Ping was also satisfied, and gave ten taels of silver to go out.

The wood used by Chen Ping is all good materials, Yang He can't afford it, so he can only take a part of the silver money from Chen Ping first and use it to buy wood, otherwise the tables and chairs will have no material to use.

Xue Wang nodded, with Chen Ping's words, if he met those villagers again, he would have to give him an accurate word. Thinking about it a few days ago, a woman Ju is finding her home, Ju is proposing to be a matchmaker, Xue Wang smiled.

"Xue Tou, I'll take your steamed buns for you. What are you laughing at? A strong man came over with four or five steamed buns and asked Xue Wang strangely.

"Huh? Oh. It's nothing, it's nothing, everyone eats quickly, and it's good to work after eating. Xue Wang took the steamed bun and ate it in a big gulp, not forgetting to urge, "Brother Ping gave such a high salary, and he provided food for everyone for free, so he had to work harder, and he would build this brick kiln as soon as possible and open the bricks of the first kiln." ”

"We've already finished eating, and you're the only one left, Xue Tou." The man replied with a smile, "Brother Ping's family is benevolent and righteous, we can't be ignorant of repaying kindness, the big guys are working hard, Xue Tou, you don't say that we also know." ”

Indeed, a group of people had already eaten steamed buns, wiped their mouths, picked up the tools again, and worked hard. It's the half-grown babies, who are also biting on steamed buns, eating while helping, for fear that they will be lazy and let people rush back.

Xue Wang saw that this was the case, so he was busy stuffing the steamed bun into his mouth, chewing a few bites, eating one, putting the rest into his robe, and running to the base of the brick kiln: "En, everyone work hard." ”

After a look, he saw that everyone had paid attention to something according to what he said, the bricks and soil were all put away, and they were not allowed to fall into the water, so Chen Ping didn't care anymore, turned around and prepared to go back, here Xue Wang is in charge.

"Brother Ping, this is for you." When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw Chen Ya carrying a rag with two buns on it, trotting over, "It's all hot, and there is stuffing in it." (To be continued.) )
