Chapter 41: The Cui family's troubles
Orion is not just good at hunting, because all year round shuttle through the deep mountains and old forests and deal with trees, all kinds of wooden traps, wooden weapons are countless, but all excellent Orion carpentry skills are not bad.
At this time, Li Cheng was discussing with several well-known carpenters in the village, including Uncle Ma and Lao Li Tou in the south of the village, Uncle Zhang, the father of Zhang Ergou in the east of the village, and Uncle Liu, the uncle of the village chief Li Dayou.
If Li Cheng wants to carry out the evil big landlord plan, high-quality skilled workers are absolutely urgently needed and indispensable.
"Baby, you specially called a few of us old guys, is there something wrong?"
Uncle Zhang is the most unbearable, he is also a violent temper on weekdays, and he likes to go straight to things, Li Cheng asked them to come here, and he has been sitting for a long time, but he hasn't started to do anything? The young adults next to him have now removed the weeds, and they are here to help, can they just sit like this, and asked urgently.
Li Cheng took out the drawings that had been prepared and motioned them to look over: "Uncle Zhang, don't worry, you see, this is the planning map I drew for this happy forest last night...
I plan to build a house on the top of the mountain, this mountainside is in a special location, I plan to use it to decorate some beautiful buildings, decorate it...
At the foot of the mountain, I'm going to build some children's playthings. β
Li Cheng spread out the drawings, pointing out that this and that map were in full swing, and the four old men felt that one head was two big, and they looked confused.
The four old men said in their hearts: "Although we don't understand what this drawing says, just by looking at your confident appearance, we know that the house you are going to build is very awesome!" β
"That's my preliminary plan, do you have anything to add to the four uncles?"
Lao Li Tou: .........
Uncle Zhang: ............
Uncle Liu: .........
Uncle Ma: .........
The four of them looked at each other awkwardly, only to feel that they had just listened to a speech for the opening of the school:
Should we add something now, but what should we add?
Do you want to add, "It's good to talk about it again?" "Then do you want this old face to say that?!
Belch!
Li Cheng stopped what he was doing, and looked at the elder with a confused face in some astonishment.
Don't tell me that you haven't listened to anything after saying so much, don't you understand this drawing?
Li Cheng guessed right, they really wouldn't look at this drawing, even the simplest arming drawing.
In this era of war and strife, literate people are simply a cherished species, even if they are as rich as the Central Plains Imperial City, they dare not pat their chests to ensure that their knowledge universal penetration rate reaches 10% of the urban population, not to mention this spurned place of exile, which is not a single person in 100,000 people who can not find a person who knows words.
Well, that's an exaggeration.
Because the total number of people in the entire Lingnan adds up, who knows if there are 100,000, if the number of people in the entire Lingnan is less than 100,000, and more than a dozen of them are exiled here, those who are exiled must be literate, so isn't it a slap in the face to say that there is only one in 100,000 cultural penetration here?
However, there are still some literate people, but they are all exiled from some big cities, and they are all above the top, even if they are exiled, they live in the only city in Lingnan, how can they settle in a small village like them.
Li Cheng was helpless, and once again told several people about his plan one by one according to the above building distribution map.
This time, Li Cheng was very patient, removed those construction-specific terms, and tried to explain them slowly in a way that people can understand now.
The effect was really good, and the old men listened to it with fascination, instead of being half-asleep like before. In this harmonious atmosphere, from time to time, a few old men put forward their own opinions.
Everyone gathered firewood and the flame was high, and some ideas made Li Cheng feel novel, and constantly added them to his plan to improve his own shortcomings.
Although Lao Li Tou can't understand the drawings and the professional terminology of architecture, if they don't understand this kind of vernacular, it is really in vain!
In this way, the five of them huddled together and discussed passionately for more than half an hour.
The final result also made Li Cheng very satisfied, and at the same time very surprised, the drawings in his hand have been changed beyond recognition, and dozens of ideas of four old men are recorded on them, which are very surprising even in Li Cheng's opinion.
There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, the ancients will not deceive me.
"Uncle Zhang, look, this map should be seen like this..."
"Huh? I seem to understand something! β
"Me too, me too."
"Well, it's really good for Da Lang to teach like this, and the old decay has gained a lot."
"A few uncles are polite, that's what you learned well."
Next, Li Cheng simply taught the four old men how to read the drawings, told them what proportions are, and taught them how to be accurate...
In the end, Li Cheng took advantage of the convenience of the system to exchange four identical drawings for them, which were revised drawings.
A person's power is limited, and a person's thoughts are also limited, even if that person has thoughts and horizons far beyond the present.
Moreover, in this era of low knowledge and cultural popularity, excellent carpenters will at least have a certain grasp of the key things such as length scales, and they can save a lot of leisure by handing over the distribution of drawings to them.
More importantly, Li Cheng did not plan to exchange some important timbers from the system directly, but wanted to find them directly in the Lingnan mountains and forests.
In the future, Lingnan is a well-known timber supplier, with a variety of rare tree species.
moreover
In the Tang Dynasty, when the construction industry was not developed, the tree jungle was not greatly damaged at all, and it was easy to find trees that were more than 100 years old here.
Even if you are lucky, it is not impossible to have thousands of years of trees, and the palace built with this kind of wood is natural and environmentally friendly, beautiful in texture and durable, especially in mahogany furniture, which is a good collection and hand-me-down.
This kind of convenience is much more comfortable than being minted in gold and silver.
After an afternoon of hard work, with the help of the villagers, Li Cheng's big landlord plan began to get into its infancyβββ digging a stove, setting up an iron pot, and paving a wide road with herbicides.
The foundation has not yet been dug up, and the wood raw materials are not yet available, but the harvest is not small.
The most important thing is to determine the scope of the building, and the preparation work has been completed, and the construction can start directly tomorrow.
In the evening, the little girl who had disappeared all afternoon came to Li Cheng's side with Caiyi, squinted her eyes, and said to Li Cheng with a smile:
"Brother, let's eat! A-Niang asked me and Sister Caiyi to come and ask you to go to dinner."
The little girl changed into clean clothes today, the original coarse linen has long been gone, and she is a little fairy who is alive.
The little girl's little face was pink, and she touched her bulging belly as she spoke, she was already full.
The little eyes bent into a crescent moon and looked at Li Cheng, as if to say: No way, who made this afternoon's meal as delicious as the one that Brother made this morning!
Glancing at Caiyi, there are still some oil stains on the corners of his mouth that have not been wiped clean, but he is not half full, at least eight points.
Seeing Li Cheng's aggressive gaze, Caiyi was not afraid, just blushed, don't look over, and a pair of jewel-like Danfeng eyes stared at the wisp of sunset in the west.
The corners of her mouth are flat, and the whole person is as cold as the iceberg beauty, as if all this in front of her has nothing to do with her.
Belch!
Caiyi suddenly had a full burp, Li Cheng could hear it, this was a gift of a comfortable stomach after a full meal, this was an affectionate burp!
Li Cheng: ".........." β
It's not that I want to doubt you, it's that your stomach doesn't fight.
"It's over, it's over... Why is this stomach so uncompromising, you can obviously hold back and not burp...! Cai Yi was embarrassed, a pair of small hands tightly grasped the hem of her skirt, writhing from side to side uneasily, and Gao Lengfan was not there at all before: "Will the son not like girls who love to steal food?" It's over~It's over~"
It's embarrassing! The cold character that was finally created completely collapsed!
Caiyi blushed: "Childe, no... Not me. β
The corners of Li Cheng's mouth twitched: I'm not blind yet!
"I know it's not you!"
The little girl inserted a knife at the right time: "Sister Caiyi's belly screams so well!" Sister Caiyi~ Can you still make your stomach scream again? Er Ya likes to listen to it very much~"
After speaking, the little girl still blinked her innocent eyes and looked at Caiyi.
Li Cheng: "Okay, I know it's you!" β
What kind of divine mending knife operation is this?! I don't want to do it either, it's just that your teammates are too vegetable, it shouldn't be said that your teammates are too strong, and the strength of your teammates is proper.
Caiyi felt that the whole person was not good. The long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he glared at Erya with resentful eyes:
Whining~! Deliberately, you absolutely did it on purpose!
Hum! Tell you to rob my brother with me!
The corners of the little girl's mouth hooked slightly, but she showed a look of unconsciousness, just urging Li Cheng vigorously and asking him to call someone over for dinner quickly!
Li Cheng felt that it was almost the same, so he let go of the two snacks and shouted loudly: "Fellow villagers, let's get here first today, everyone has been busy all afternoon, and we are tired, let's go eat first!" β
Li Cheng's voice fell, and the villagers also stopped what they were doing.
I'm tired all afternoon, and I'm really hungry, and I don't talk about the place where I cook, it's halfway up the mountainside, and the Li family doesn't know how to prepare some food, and I smell a fragrance from afar, so that people can't work with peace of mind.
The gluttonous worms in everyone's stomachs have already been hooked, and they are waiting for this moment early.
Packed up, everyone soon came to the dining table, the dining table was moved by Li Cheng from door to door, the layout was very simple, everyone didn't mind, such a delicious thing, even if it was sitting on the ground to eat, it was quite happy.
The dining tables are clearly distributed, with young and middle-aged people gathered together, children and old people gathered together, and young women formed a single group, each without disturbing each other.
In front of each pile of people there are three cauldrons, two large cauldrons are meat dishes, and the rest of the cauldrons are fragrant rice, each of which is cooked by several attentive women.
After a long queue to the place where the vegetables were served, the villagers were stunned, one by one, their mouths wide open, and their faces full of disbelief.
This big pot of rice is actually high-quality rice, and it is not gruel, but fragrant rice, and the other two pots of meat dishes are also surprising to everyone, the yellow and clear pork slices, mixed with the green and red peppers, the aroma of the meat is mixed with the spicy spicy, which makes people feel appetizing when they ask and smell it.
Who has ever been a villager in the mountains all his life who has ever seen such a rich dish? At the moment, they all screamed and squeezed forward, for fear that if it slowed down, it would be gone.
The adults are still like this, and the children are completely messed up, and those who can't squeeze it cry directly, and those who get the vegetables hurriedly run to the ground on the side, swallowing dates, and no matter what is in the bowl, it is just a vigorous eat.
The dishes of the old people are different from those of children and young adults, their teeth are not good, the meat dishes they eat are chopped into finely minced meat, and the chili peppers are only put in the kind of big green peppers that are not spicy but a little sweet, so that the old people can eat comfortably at the same time, and feel more enjoyable.
Time passed slowly in the laughter of everyone.
"I... I'm going to add rice! A burly young man raised his hand violently, and shouted loudly at the woman who was cooking, and the bowl in his hand had now been licked clean.
His name is Wang Yun, 18 years old this year, his father died in the hunting in the past few years, there is a pair of old people at home, a sister is waiting to be fed, the family has been supported by her mother alone in the past two years, as a man, Wang Yun also wants to protect his family by his own strength, but he did not follow his father's old path, he chose to go out to work hard in the past two years, and he only came back this morning.
No one knew that a burly, honest-looking rural man would be the big boss of the Tiger Cottage 50 miles away, making a living by robbing bricks.
What people know is that he is the only strong man in Uncle Wang's family, who left the village two years ago and only came back this morning.
In fact, Wang Yun was also very confused in his heart, he planned to come back secretly this time, and then take his mother, sister and grandparents to his cottage, so he said that he was a little unpleasant, but it was no problem to live.
"No problem, you come here, I'll get some more vegetables for you," the aunt who cooked smiled and said with a smile, in this case, Li Chen told them, as long as someone comes to add vegetables, no matter who it is? All are full, until they are full.
"Really?"
"Well, it's true. Li Dalang specially instructed that you must be fed, as long as you can eat, it doesn't matter how many times you eat. β
Yes?!
Wang Yun was a little confused, so you agreed? So agreed?!
Two years of three-fold life made him adapt, he didn't trust others, he did things in a low-key manner, and he was humble and humble, and the trembling hand he raised before was also due to his nature, not deliberately.
Walking up in a daze, it wasn't until he saw the fresh vegetables and rice in the bowl that Wang Yun suddenly woke up, yes, I am now in my original village, my own home, isn't all this normal! The aunts are still so simple.
Wang Yun is just a small episode, but her small episode plays a role in dominating the whole text.
When everyone saw that he had successfully fought, they were like hungry wolves pounced on food, and those who still had a little bit of food left in the bowl swallowed vigorously, and after swallowing, they strode to the place where they had eaten the food, and then added vegetables, and added them to the full.
This meal was so comfortable, fragrant and delicious, and full, it felt so good to be full, I have never been so full.
After they were full of wine and food, each family came to claim each family's table and moved it back, and there were a lot of leftover dishes, but Li Chen didn't plan to bring these back, because it was really a bit difficult to bring them, and he couldn't eat them when he brought them back.
So Li Cheng immediately asked people to distribute these meals to the people who helped him the most on weekdays, and some were distributed to the people in the village who were usually weaker, such as Zhang Xingjia, who got half a pot.
The village chief's family has..., and Wang Yun's family has also shared some of the hardships of living without a man for a long time, which makes Wang Yun surprised.
And so the day passed.
β¦β¦
"~The king asked me to patrol the mountain, and after patrolling the South Mountain, I will patrol the North Mountain~!"
It was late at night.
Journey to the West was broadcast as scheduled, and this time it has been played to the master and apprentice crossing the Lion Camel Ridge, and the beautiful singing voice of Xiao Diamond Wind at the beginning immediately made the people under the big screen hi.
At the same time, Qinghe Cui's family.
Cui Yuanjue, the head of the Cui family, is taking his mother-in-law and his own baby, sitting leisurely on top of his own high-rise building, watching "Journey to the West" beautifully.
In the past few days, he has made contact with Chang'an, and Cui Yuanjue knows that the same scene has appeared in Chang'an as here, and even the barren land in Princess Pingyang's Mansion where birds don't has also appeared.
At this time, Cui Yuanjue was not worried at all that he would be used by someone with a heart, thus causing harm to their Cui family.
This thing is like this, after experiencing two sudden shocks in a row, Cui Yuanjue also feels that he is not so scared.
On the contrary, putting aside these worries, this film and television is really speechless, and he is deeply infatuated with this film and television.
It can be said that it is a three-legged stand, in this Datang
At this time, Cui Yuanjue took advantage of the advertising time to scan the people in his family with his spare eyes, and suddenly found that his family was still lacking a handle.
"Cui An, hasn't Cui Bisheng's little cub come back yet?"
Calling a housekeeper beside him, he asked him about the whereabouts of his unsuccessful child, who yesterday bought a white horse and a weapon, which made him angry for a while.
"Back to the master, the little boy is probably playing tricks on horses and monkeys in the room now...... But...... But ......" Cui An looked at Cui Yuanjue and stopped talking.
Cui Yuanjue was surprised. This old housekeeper has been following him for a long time, and looking at the way he wants to speak and stops, eighty percent is that Cui Bisheng's rebel has done something unsightly to make him wipe his ass, right?
Cui Yuanjue is old and has a son, and his love for this son far exceeds his loyalty to the family, so he is also happy to wipe Cui Bisheng's ass all the time.
"Say it! What else is that little bunny hiding from me? β
"Yes~ sir."
Cui An gritted his teeth, but decided to report the matter, even if he recruited the little boy to retaliate afterwards.
"Master, today the little boy withdrew five thousand taels of silver from the account office, he... He...! Cui An was hesitant, as if he was thinking about this matter, whether to say it or how to say it.
"I thought it was a big deal? Isn't it five thousand taels of silver? β
"What?! Five thousand taels of silver?! This rebel. Cui Yuanjue heard that five thousand taels of silver were taken away for no reason, and he immediately jumped like thunder.
