Chapter 111: The Bamboo House Rises from the Ground
Tang Wanwan knew that many people had doubts about her ability, and felt that she just wanted to sensationalize the public in order to gain everyone's attention.
She really didn't mean that, because she thought she could do it, so she said that. I don't want to know this news, it seems like it has been passed on by someone for ten, ten for hundreds. Then there are more people who are lively than those who work, and Tang Wanwan doesn't care, just watch it, then take a good look at how they completed these three bamboo houses.
Unlike brick walls or earthen walls, bamboo houses need to be built little by little, which requires a lot of labor. A bamboo house can be made of one wall and one wall.
She needs a total of 10 walls in these three rooms, and she will ask them to make the walls of these 10 bamboo houses first, and then press them into the right position like building blocks.
It is worth mentioning that when Tang Wanwan built a house today, he had already asked the village chief to buy a bamboo forest on the other side of Xishan, and spent a total of five taels of silver.
When Tang Wanwan went to the village chief to talk about it, the village chief felt that this was simply a pie in the world. Thinking of the last time Tang Wanwan gave him a big bowl of fine salt, he directly said that he wanted to give her those bamboos, but Tang Wanwan refused, and insisted on buying the land.
On weekdays, there are not many people to cut bamboo, it is generally barren, and there are not many others in the countryside, and there are many wastelands. The reproduction ability of bamboo is very strong, so within a few years, a barren mountain on the other side of the West Mountain is all overgrown with bamboo. You can't even dig up a wasteland and try to get a whole piece of land. At first glance, it was quite spectacular.
When Tang Wanwan came to him and said that he would give him five taels of silver and buy all the bamboo and land here, the village chief really thought that this girl was joking. When the money arrived, it was as if he were in a dream.
"Girl, have you discussed this matter with your mother, if your mother does not agree, I will return the silver to you, and those bamboos should be given to you."
Not to mention, this village chief is quite interesting, much more human than the patriarch and his sons.
However, Tang Wanwan will not do a loss-making business, these bamboos will be good things in the future, and bamboo can be used to make various bamboo utensils and build houses. Bamboo shoots can grow three stubbles per year, spring shoots, autumn shoots and winter shoots.
Among them, winter bamboo shoots are the most delicious, the most tender, the highest nutritional value, and the most economic value, which can be dried and pickled. Fresh bamboo shoots can also be used to make canned bamboo shoots. Spring bamboo shoots and autumn bamboo shoots depend on the right time to dig bamboo shoots, if you dig when the bamboo shoots have just grown, you can still dig up tender bamboo shoots.
The most important thing is that there is a large pond next to this bamboo forest. If you expand this pond, you can store a lot of fish fry and make it a home-grown fish pond. It's fun to come here to fish, dig and dig bamboo shoots.
The open land next to it can also slowly bloom, plant some trees, flowers, and some crops, and this will be her base in the future.
The village chief knew that Tang Wanwan was going to cut down the bamboo and go back to build a house, so he asked his son and grandson to help Tang Wanwan as well. In addition, there were four big men on her side, and in a short time, fresh bamboo was piled up all over the yard.
Tang Wanwan divided the bamboo into several piles, and everyone split the bamboo together, and then fixed it with wire and bamboo strips. Each piece of wall is hung up in one piece, and then fixed to the built house support, like building blocks.
What Tang Wanwan didn't expect was that Tan Ling and Tan Song heard that she was going to build a house with bamboo and came to help. They laughed and said they were here to learn from her. Tan Song even wanted to worship Tang Wanwan as a teacher, but she refused.
For the time being, she has no intention of accepting apprentices, they come to help her welcome, if you want to see it, she will see it, anyway, that's how she operates.
There is a lot of strength in numbers, and by the time it gets dark, the bamboo house has been completed.
Tang Wanwan looked at Lu Yu and said, "Brother Lu, I'm sorry for you, take those oilcloths." ”
"Hmm!" Lu Yujin handed a large roll of oilcloth to Tang Wanwan, and then they took the ladder and went up to the roof. It turned out that in addition to building a house with bamboo, the walls of the house were all covered with a layer of oilcloth outside, and the outside of the oilcloth was repainted with lime powder, so that it was almost impossible to see from the outside that the house was built with bamboo, and the house was also made of oilcloth and lime powder walls, and each corner and the place where the two walls were connected were all fixed with iron nails and wires, and the whole house was like setting up a tent and building blocks.
The next morning, the white hut you saw was a small bamboo hut built by Tang Wanwan with bamboo.
There is a skylight on the bamboo house, which can be opened during the day to let the sun shine into the house, and there are also ventilated windows, which can be seen from a high height and can see the scenery outside, which is stronger than the stuffy and damp low small earthen house before, I don't know how many times stronger.
They didn't have much in the house, and in less than a while, everything was moved.
Looking at the new home, Mrs. Chen was a little incredulous, Tang Xiaoyi and Tang Xiaorou happily circled there. Tang Wei also smiled, looking at Tang Wanwan, he felt very proud, and felt honored to have such a good sister.
Tang Wanwan invited them to eat grilled fish in the evening, which was a simple bonfire dinner, and a bonfire was raised in the courtyard, with a grill on it, and the dishes were quite rich. Everyone was eating delicious food while roasting, and everyone was very satisfied, but unfortunately there was no wine. Otherwise, they'll all get drunk.
Tan Ling and Tan Song finished dinner from Tang Wanwan's side, and reluctantly left, before leaving, Tan Song still did not give up the idea of apprenticeship, but was pulled away by Tan Ling.
When she went to bed at night, Tang Wanwan was very satisfied, hoping that life would get better and better!
Early in the morning of the second day, before Tang Wanwan got up, she heard the sound of Mrs. Zhang and Wang knocking on the door outside.
Mrs. Chen went to open the door and saw that it was her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, so she didn't know what to do at that time, and her expression was a little cramped.
When Mrs. Zhang saw Mrs. Chen, she asked: "I said the third daughter-in-law, what you say doesn't count, I said that I would let Ah Juan repair the wall for me, and now your own new house will be built." ”
When Wang entered the door, he saw the beautiful house in front of him, and his eyes suddenly widened and his mouth was full of surprise: "My good girl, this is really the house that you Ah Juan built yesterday?" Aren't I dazzled? ”
The house had just been built, and there was a faint smell of bamboo in the yard, which had not yet dispersed. The lime powder on the walls had not yet dried, and it looked like it had been freshly covered.
"Sister-in-law, this is what Ah Juan got with her friends yesterday."
"Mother, I'm sorry, I wanted to talk to Ajuan yesterday, but I forgot about it as soon as I got busy. You see, when Ah Juan wakes up, I'm telling her that it's okay? ”
"You don't need to build earthen walls, you can just change my houses to the exact ones you have. I don't care about you anymore. Mrs. Zhang didn't blush when she said this, who did she think she was!
