Chapter 133: Building a House
"Uncle, you can help you choose and see, but this time my family needs to dig a well and a cellar to build a house, no, I have to worry about it, uncle, look, this is the drawing drawn by my family, do you think there is any need to improve?" Huang Yiyun took out the drawings on a piece of white cloth that he had discussed at home, spread them on the table, and said to Village Chief Zhang.
"Well, it's pretty much the same, but if you want to fence off all the land, what if you want to buy a lot of bricks? Your family will have to estimate the money. "Village Chief Zhang saw the drawings drawn by the Huang family, to build a house of half an acre of land, no different from other people, they are all built in the hall house, and a few rooms are built under the eaves outside the house.
"Village chief, after the house is built on the vacant land of my family, the place where I live here will also be built, it is estimated that the time will not be short, start construction as soon as possible, don't delay everyone to harvest wheat?" Huang Congjiang Road.
"Cheng, Brother Congjiang, you can go to the town now to buy the green bricks and tiles, and the aunt and uncle will choose a date, and we can start building a house on a certain day." I'm going to go to a few houses and walk around, and talk to them about building a house for your house. Village Chief Zhang nodded, signaling that he knew, and then said goodbye and left.
"The eldest and the second one, you two take the money to sell green bricks and tiles in the town, and the first two mothers are optimistic about the days, and the two are suitable for breaking ground, and our family will build a house after the two." After Huang Li waited for Village Chief Zhang to leave, he took out a cloth bag from the room, and the cloth bag contained a hanging silver coin and handed it to Huang Congjiangdao.
"Mother, how much money is here." Huang Congjiang asked after taking the money.
"Ten taels." Huang Li replied.
"Mother, otherwise, you give me another five taels, these ten taels of silver to buy green bricks, five taels of silver to buy big tiles, my son estimates, almost a new house will need so many green bricks and tiles.
When the time comes, after the new house is built, we can start to buy green bricks and tiles in this side of the house we live in, and the rest of the work of surrounding the green bricks in the backyard will not need to be done by the people invited by the village chief. Huang Congjiang thought about it and said to Huang Li.
"Yes." Huang Li nodded, and after returning to the room, he took five taels of silver for Huang Congjiang.
"Dad, when you go to town, buy ten catties of mung beans and come back." Before Huang Congjiang left, Huang Yiyun commanded.
Huang Yiyun walked in the direction of the kitchen, and quickly calculated in his heart, from the family to help build the house, including that meal, what to eat every day.
It is impossible to eat dry rice, more than a dozen laborers, eat a dry meal, how much rice has to be steamed, so you can only eat porridge, most of which is boiled thicker.
Eat porridge as the main food, and stir-fry two more dishes.
Fortunately, the Huang family discussed that they would build a house this year, so when the spring bamboo shoots could not be sold this year, Huang Yiyun asked the two Huang Congjiang brothers to dig a lot, and all of them were dried into bamboo shoots, which were used to build a house now and stir-fry vegetables.
Stir-fried pork sausage or bacon with dried bamboo shoots tastes old and delicious.
In the previous season when bracken was growing, Huang Yiyun also instructed his younger brothers and sisters to pick a lot of bracken and expose it to the sun to become dried vegetables.
As long as you soak it in hot water, you can fry leeks or green onions.
On the first day, Huang Yiyun planned to cook sweet potato porridge for the people who built the house.
Stir-fry dried bamboo shoots and stir-fried pork sausage, and stir-fried leeks with bracken.
On the second day, porridge with yellow eel fillet, fried river fish, and then fried potatoes.
On the third day, steamed potatoes as a staple food.
Stir-fry the beans and eggplants grown in your yard, and fry the fried peppers and potatoes to eat.
Day 4 ..........
Huang Yiyun calculated that during this time, he would cook food for the people who built his own house.
The meals are all home-grown or taken home from the mountains, and they don't need to be bought by the Huang family.
Huang Yiyun slowly put the things together and put them aside, lest he forget them when the time came.
After the two, the wind and the sun are beautiful, and it is appropriate to marry and break ground.
After the Huang family set off a hexagram of firecrackers, the people invited by Village Chief Zhang began to build a house for the Huang family.
Of course, most of the tools used to build houses were brought from home by invited people, and some were borrowed by the village chief from some people in the village.
It's summer heat.
For people's safety and not heat stroke, the village chief also planned the time to build the house, not from the beginning to the night, from light to night, every day and every night.
After working for a few hours from the hour to the hour, they did not build a house, and after eating, they went home.
In the afternoon, the time began and ended, the morning time was cool, and the afternoon avoided the hottest period, and the time for work was not short, and it was enough for a job, and the head of the village invited an honest and responsible person, and there was no cheating and trickery.
On this day, the Huang family built a house, and the family got up early.
Sisters Liu and Huang Yiyun followed behind them, digging the soil, digging pits behind them, and carrying the soil away by the way, all of which can be done at present.
A few of them saw that their houses had finally been built, and they watched with relish and were very happy, and they were happy on the foundation.
If it weren't for the fact that the sun was getting too strong, Huang Li was afraid that a few babies would suffer from heat stroke, so he detained them and went back.
"Sister, grandma told you to go back and start cooking." It was already early, and the fourth brother ran over and shouted loudly at Huang Yiyun.
"Cheng, I'll go back, third sister, you and eldest sister cook together." After Huang Yiyun responded, he said to the third sister on the side.
To make twenty rao meals, it is enough to work alone, and calling the third sister just happens to give herself a hand.
After Huang Yiyun and the third sister went home, after washing their hands and faces, they came to the kitchen and saw Huang Li busy in the kitchen.
"Eldest sister, Grandma has prepared and cut the things, and it's up to you next." Huang Li also knew that the eldest sister had been planning to cook for the people who came to build the house in the past two days, and she had also spent it with herself, so Huang Li was not in a hurry to prepare.
Boil the water, cook the rice in a pot under cold water, cook the porridge over high heat, cook until it is almost viscous, and then put the sweet potatoes down, and when the sweet potatoes are cooked, exuding the fragrance of sweet potatoes and rice, Huang Yiyun put a little sugar into it.
Sweet potatoes are originally sweet, but once the sugar is added, the taste is even better, and it can also replenish energy.
After that, the porridge is filled in a large wooden barrel and cooled in a large water tank.
Stir-frying is simpler, stir-fry the pork sausage, after stir-frying, directly put the soaked dried bamboo shoots, stir-fry a few times together, put the dried chili powder and garlic white and then put salt, put garlic leaves and powder out of the pot, and fry a few times to get out of the pot.
Bracken is better to fry, boil the oil, after the oil is hot, stir-fry the foamed cut bracken, after stir-frying, then put the leeks and dried peppers and salt, fry until the leeks are broken, and you can get out of the pot.
It's just that there are many people who eat, and only two dishes are fried, so both dishes are fried, and it is a little difficult to stir up.
