Chapter 24: Building a House

The rabbit is very easy to clean up, just pull out the skin and take out the internal organs.

She chopped the rabbit into pieces, salted them, and put some wine in them.

Then she pinched some wild vegetables and came back to make noodles, and she also had to make dead noodles, which saved trouble.

After the batter was ready, she boiled the oil, put the green onions, ginger, garlic, chili peppers, and green peppers into it, and then poured the rabbit head into it.

The pot clicked, and she hurriedly stir-fried it with a spatula.

The scent immediately wafted out.

Those who worked were hungry when they smelled it.

The life of the Shen family is really good, and they can see meat every day without land.

They have land, but they don't necessarily have good food.

After the rabbit meat is cooked, Mu Dongzhi pasted the dead noodles on the pot, covered the pot and filled two fires, and then covered and simmered for a while before the dead noodles were cooked.

She cooked and came out, and Shen Xiuyuan pulled the stone over.

Mu Dongzhi saw that they made a lot of stones yesterday and this morning, and they may not be able to use up to build three houses.

But it's better to have more of this stuff than less.

"It's time to eat." Mu Dongzhi shouted.

"Unload the car and eat." Shen Xiuyuan replied.

When the men heard that dinner was going to be eaten, they also put down their guys and went home.

Walking and swallowing saliva, the craftsmanship of the little daughter-in-law of the Shen family is too good.

They were about to start their meal when Shen Kuan returned.

However, he came back empty-handed.

"Big brother, don't you sell cotton?" Mu Dongzhi asked while helping him with the meal.

"Nope." Shen Kuan said sullenly, took out a few maltose from his arms and gave it to her along with one hundred and fifty copper plates.

Mu Dongzhi knew that this hundred was given to him by her in the morning, and these fifty were sold by two rabbits.

It's just, why did he buy her maltose again?

She didn't want to eat the two maltodies last time, so she brought them back to her two younger brothers and gave them one to herself, why did he buy them again?

Shen Kuan didn't say much, he simply thought that there was a child at home, and it was appropriate to bring some maltose.

He washed his hands and ate, and Mu Dongzhi put the maltose away.

Uncle Wang said, "Do you want to buy cotton?" ”

"Yes, winter is coming, buy cotton to make cotton clothes." Mu Dongzhi said.

"I still have cotton at home, and I'll bring it to you when I'm dried in the sun." Uncle Wang said.

"How much is a catty, I want a dozen catties is enough." Mu Dongzhi said.

Shen Xiuyuan said: "I have to ask for twenty catties, and I have to make a quilt." ”

"You can as much as you want, there is still cotton in the field that has not been picked." Uncle Wang said.

"Okay, I'll give it to you at the market price."

"What did this kid say? The cotton is all grown in the field. Uncle Wang said.

"Two copper plates and one pound of cotton with seeds." Shen Kuan said sullenly.

Mu Dongzhi secretly calculated in his heart, two copper plates of cotton with seeds are one catty, and twenty catties of cotton are forty copper plates.

It's better to buy 100 catties of cotton, and you can spin and weave cloth when you are idle in winter.

After eating, she told Shen Xiuyuan her thoughts, and Shen Xiuyuan didn't want her to do it.

She's too young and tired and hurtful.

However, seeing her sparkling eyes, he couldn't refuse, so he had to go with her.

Shen Kuan was idle here, and wanted to help transport the stones, Mu Dongzhi said: "Big brother, you don't have to transport the stones, we have to cut the bamboo to make sorghum, and we have to make mountain beams." ”

When Shen Kuan heard this, he felt justified and said, "You don't have to worry about this. ”

In the afternoon, he went up the mountain and cut down a dozen thick bamboos, pulled them back and put them in the open space behind.

At dinner, Mu Dongzhi and Uncle Wang ordered a hundred catties of cotton.

Uncle Wang's family planted cotton because only cotton could be grown in that field, and other crops could not be planted.

Now that someone is willing to buy it, of course he can't ask for it.

So, he went back and told his wife, who thought he was coaxing her.

After Uncle Wang left, Shen Kuan said to Mu Dongzhi: "Someone in Anyuan Town is looking for you today. ”

"What are you looking for me to do?"

"Want to order baskets and grasshoppers."

"What did the man say?"

"I didn't say anything specific, I said that I was going to meet and talk in detail." Shen Kuan said.

Mu Dongzhi suddenly had a plan in mind.

She looked at Shen Xiuyuan, and Shen Xiuyuan also looked at her and said:

"I will support you in whatever you do."

"That's fine." Mu Dongzhi's heart suddenly blossomed.

Shen Kuan finished eating and went to set a trap again.

Shen Xiuyuan took the little lady to wash cotton cloth together.

However, this time he didn't let her do it, he washed it himself.

After coming back and drying it, Mu Dongzhi saw that the fruit was dyed purple, blue, purple, and blue, and immediately pursed his lips and laughed.

She hadn't seen anyone wear this color.

If new clothes were made for both the elder brother and the eldest brother, the spread would definitely attract onlookers.

She said, "I'll make you clothes in two days." ”

"Okay." Shen Xiuyuan thought about wearing the clothes made by the little lady, and his heart was excited.

For three days, they were transporting stones.

And Shen Kuan still hunts and sells prey.

In the past few days, he has been fighting small things, and he has not caught big things, and Shen Kuan is a little impatient.

The family builds a house, and the brothers have to go to school after the year, and they can't get any prey in this season, and even less in winter.

When the time comes, if you can't pay it, you won't be able to read books.

Shen Xiuyuan saw that the stone was almost there, so he led the people to dig the clay at the root of the mountain.

After a day's worth of clay, we were ready to start construction.

Shen Xiuyuan was afraid that repairing the house would cause a dispute, so he went to find Li Zheng and asked Li Zheng to come over to help take a look at the house.

Li Zheng came and looked at the title deed, and said, "This place belongs to your Shen family, and your father used to buy it with silver." ”

Originally, when his father bought the land, Shen Xiuyuan was not more than a year old.

At that time, this place was a wasteland, and what could be planted could not be done, and it was given to no one who did not.

Later, it became the commons of Hewan Village.

His father spent ten taels of silver on land at that time, and later built two mud houses, where they live now.

It's okay to build a house in this place, but it's cold in the northwest corner in winter.

Therefore, the man-made houses in the village are not willing to build here.

Usually people avoid this place when walking, because people have died here before.

The people in the village were unlucky, and no one wanted it here, so the Shen family wanted to buy it, so they immediately sold it at a low price.

If it is a good land, such a large place, it is impossible to buy it without fifty taels of silver.

Shen Xiuyuan was pulling the land here, and Shen Kuan took ten copper plates here and went to the east of the village to find a fortune teller to calculate when it would be appropriate to break ground.

The fortune teller took the copper plate and said that the next day would be a good day, suitable for breaking ground.

So, the next day, the Shen family began construction.

The fortune teller received the Shen family's money, came to the scene to take a look, and brought a firecracker, and went back after setting off the firecrackers.

The men began to break ground.

They dug out the foundation in the morning, and built a five-room wide room at the back of the old house in accordance with the requirements of Mu Dongzhi.

One zhang is wide, and five are just five zhang.

After the meal, they began to ram and build the wall.
