Chapter 40: Coming to the Door Again
In the next few days, Mrs. Wang talked to Tong Shuangxi about the fact that there were more people coming and going near her house.
A few days later, when Tong Shuangxi and Tong Shuangshuang went down the mountain, they saw an ox cart pulling things piled up not far from Wang Pozi's house. Tong Shuangxi was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that the matter was done.
Sure enough, when he went up the mountain again on the second day, Steward Wen quietly looked for his sister and brother, saying that he went to the house with Steward Zhao at night.
Tong Shuangxi was prepared for a long time, and he responded happily.
"We brought our own meat dishes......"
Last time, after he and Steward Zhao ate all the meat dumplings in Tong Shuangxi's house, they felt very uncomfortable, so this time they specially instructed Tong Shuangxi.
Tong Shuangxi understood in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and only said something polite about the warm manager.
In the evening, after Tong Shuangxi and Tong Shuangshuang's siblings got off work, they hurriedly went back, and there were guests at home for a while, so they had to go back early to prepare.
Mrs. Wang came back early in the morning, and when Tong Shuangxi and Tong Shuangshuang arrived, she was chopping vegetables to feed the chickens and ducks.
"If you bring your own vegetables, we will steam a pot of white rice first, and mix the wild vegetables and mushrooms I dig up in the morning to see, and if it is not enough, we will talk about other things."
When Mrs. Wang heard that Steward Wen and Steward Zhao were coming over, she planned to get up.
On weekdays, Mrs. Wang and Tong Shuangxi's sister and brother steamed rice are brown rice mixed with white rice, more brown rice, only a little white rice is mixed with a little bit, and the taste is smooth.
It can be seen that Mrs. Wang is also interested in the door-to-door visits of Steward Wen and Steward Zhao.
Tong Shuangxi and Tong Shuangxi, sister and brother, got the words of Mrs. Wang, and they responded to it.
Tong Shuangxi brushed the pot to wash rice, Tong Shuangshuang lit the fire and burned the pot, the sister and brother have been cooperating so tacitly, who made Tong Shuangxi just can't burn the fine fire of steamed rice.
Tong Shuangshuang likes this fire-burning job very much, especially talking to his sister while burning the fire, he is also willing to burn the fire for a lifetime like this.
In front of the stove, Tong Shuangxi was explaining to Tong Shuangshuang: "You are the only man in the family, the guests will come to the door for a while, you are responsible for making tea for the guests, talking to the guests, Steward Wen and Steward Zhao are both capable people, you will not lose when you talk to them!" ”
It is better to give him a fish than to give him a fish, Tong Shuangxi, as a sister, wants to let Tong Shuangshuang stand up by himself, so that he can really help him.
Although Tong Shuangshuang was a little afraid of people like Steward Wen and Steward Zhao, but his sister said this, he could only nod his head and respond, his sister must be for his own good.
The white rice here hasn't been steamed yet, and the guests over there have already come to the door.
Tong Shuangxi saw that the rice was almost steamed, so he asked Tong Shuangshuang to get up to receive the guests, and he first dialed the fire in the stove, carried the boiling hot water, and also went out of the kitchen.
The table in the room was full of large and small oiled paper bags.
"This is a bad goose, specially left in the town at noon, braised pork slices, the craftsmanship of Liu's sister-in-law on the mountainside, you also ate salted edamame at noon, as well as pig's head meat, braised pork skin ......"
Steward Wen and Steward Zhao are also interested in this time, on the one hand, they feel embarrassed because of what happened last time, and on the other hand, it is naturally for the accounting method that Tong Shuangxi said.
Some food, Tong Shuangshuang has never seen it, and he looked stupid for a while, Wang Pozi looked at the meat and vegetables on the table, and felt a little uneasy, and looked straight at Tong Shuangxi.
What are the two of them Wen and Zhao for, Wang Pozi is also roughly clear in her heart, she is afraid that if this Wen and Zhao are not satisfied with Tong Shuangxi's accounting method and are annoyed, then these foods can never be taken.
Don't spread the rumor that Tong Shuangxi and Tong Shuangshuang's sister and brother are stuttering.
Mrs. Wang's worries about Tong Shuangxi were not, but after she first said a few polite words, she took her younger brother Tong Shuangshuang to carry things to the kitchen and put dishes.
Mrs. Wang is still not at ease in her heart, but the things have been collected, so she can only be ruthless, and when the time comes, she will make a fuss and take the matter on herself.
Tong Shuangxi and Tong Shuangshuang's sisters and brothers still have a good life to live, and they are an only mother-in-law, and they are also half-buried people, so what else is there to be afraid of.
After making a plan in her heart, Mrs. Wang asked Tong Shuangxi and Tong Shuangshuang to go to the house to talk to the guests, and she left the kitchen to serve the dishes.
After returning that day, Steward Wen consulted with the twenty or so people specially invited by the lord's family about the shack.
These 20 or so people are skilled craftsmen invited from all over the world, and they have a lot of knowledge, and the matter of building a shed is not complicated, and the result is discussed after a while.
The ready-made bamboo on the mountain can be built into a simple roof truss, and then the oil paper and oil cloth on the market can be wrapped in three layers.
"We usually run all over the place, and it is also common for the wind and the sun to be exposed, and the project here is on the road, and we have to go elsewhere, so if it can be simple, don't make it complicated."
Steward Wen naturally meant the same thing, but as the person in charge of this project, he couldn't speak by himself, after all, these 20 or so people were specially invited by the main family, and if he offended people, it would be difficult for him to explain in front of the main family.
"Since you all declare righteousness like this, then you have to be wronged first, if it weren't for the tight construction period, we would definitely build a house for you."
The scene is beautiful, and the warm steward has to say it.
Those 20 or so people are also knowledgeable people, and they also know the priorities of things.
"I won't talk about living, but this food and wine and meat are indispensable, my old Meng can live in a pigsty, but if there is a lack of wine and meat, nothing can be done."
The speaker has a rough voice, and when he hears it, he has a cheerful temperament.
"That's natural, everyone has spent a lot of money to invite you, and you can't wait for it." Steward Wen said with a guarantee.
Seeing that Steward Wen said this, the twenty or so people joked a few more words and dispersed.
Tong Shuangxi listened to Steward Wen talk about things, nodded and said: "If this is the best, it is not a problem to keep out the rain and wind with oil, paper and tarpaulin, and the bamboo on the mountain is thick and dense, and it is not a matter of effort to build a few rooms." ”
Tong Shuangxi didn't think about the shack, her ultimate goal was to let the shack be built near Mrs. Wang's house, as for how to build the shack, it was because of the Wen stewards and these people to bother.
Steward Wen and Tong Shuangxi didn't say this for the sake of the shed.
The most important thing about the shed is that the twenty or so people don't mind, and he and Zhao Guan came over, mainly for the accounting method in Tong Shuangxi's mouth.
