Chapter 26: Building a New House
The next day, Li Yunniang called the third uncle in the clan.
Let him help preside over the construction of a new house.
Originally, Lin Yuer wanted to build a brick house directly, which was magnificent and durable.
The mud-walled house, she has always lived in a bad place, who knows if it will collapse in this rain.
It's like she lives now, it's already cracked with a big crack, and it feels crumbling, and it may collapse at any time.
It's just that Li Yunniang said that she thought the brick house was too expensive, no matter what she said, she didn't agree.
The only way to do this is to build a new mud house.
In any case, it is much safer than the original broken house.
"Third uncle, do you think this row is demolished, how about building another five rooms here?"
The third uncle of the Lin family is an old man in his seventies, and he is a little serious.
Presumably there are many such things as hosting, and the whole person looks a little serious.
Lin Yuer remembered that the last time the family was separated, Liu Guihua also called him to host.
"Yes, you can, but a few of you only need to build three rooms in the original place, why waste money to build two more."
The third uncle felt that as long as the original three houses were built, the kitchen was still the same as before, and there was no need to rebuild it.
This will save a lot of silver.
"In the future, the two brothers will definitely marry their sisters-in-law, and when there are too many people, it will not be enough to live!"
Lin Yuer just didn't want to live with Li Yunniang, if she lived with Li Yunniang, it would be inconvenient for her to enter the space at that time.
So no matter what, she wanted a room of her own.
If she only built three rooms, she estimated that she would have to share another room with Li Yunniang.
At that time, it will be troublesome, in case she is discovered by Li Yunniang when she enters the space, then there is no way to explain it.
"That's just as well."
Li Yunniang originally thought that it would be good to build only three rooms, but when she heard Lin Yuer's words, she suddenly felt that she had to build five rooms, and it would be enough when the time came.
"Then five!"
The third uncle quickly finalized these things.
The village is all related to the family, and when they saw that the Tiezhu family was going to build a new house, they all came to help.
Although I don't know how the Tiezhu family got rich, they all came.
Male workers have to pay 20 yuan a day, and most of the female workers come to help cook, just stay for a meal.
The next day, the work soon started, and Lin Yuer was not idle, and let Long Yuqi drive the ox cart to the market to buy vegetables.
"Uncle Liu, how do you sell this pork belly?" Lin Yu'er went to Butcher Liu, who often bought meat, and asked.
"Pork belly is eighteen dollars a pound."
When Butcher Liu saw that it was Lin Yu'er, his tone softened slightly.
Although this little girl has only come to his house twice to buy meat, Butcher Liu has a very profound influence.
"Bring me five pounds."
Lin Yu'er didn't bargain, this meat is the price after it is cheap, if she continues to bargain, it will be inhumane.
"It's early summer, and you want to buy so much meat?"
Butcher Liu was afraid that Lin Yu'er would buy so much meat at once and spoil it.
"Uncle Liu, don't worry, many people in my family are working, and they are finished eating!"
Lin Yuer said with a smile, knowing that Butcher Liu had good intentions.
"That's good, I'll weigh you!"
After weighing, Lin Yuer was about to pay, when she suddenly saw the pig offal that was still on the side.
The ancients didn't like to eat these things.
These are things that people who don't have money will buy and eat.
"Uncle Liu, how do you sell these offal?"
Lin Yu'er's eyes suddenly lit up and she thought of something.
"This thing is worthless, if you like it, I'll give it to you for free today!"
Butcher Liu said with a smile.
Even if this thing is to be sold, it only costs five cents a pair, and it often can't be sold.
"Thank you, Uncle Liu!"
Lin Yuer carried the offal to the ox cart.
"What is this thing going to do?"
It was the first time Long Yuqi had seen such a disgusting thing, and he was very disgusted.
The secret guard who was hiding on the side wanted to laugh when he saw that his master not only became a coachman, but also had to endure this smell.
"It's a good thing, but it's a little harder, I'm going to let you taste it today, it's delicious!"
When Lin Yu'er thought of the sour and hot fat sausage, her saliva was about to stay.
I went to the market again and bought some greens, and then I went home.
As soon as she went back, Lin Yuer moved out a large piece of feed, and those who were working saw this scene and became more and more motivated.
I didn't expect there to be meat to eat!
Ordinary people work only with rice, but there is nothing left.
Lin Yuer counted it, and there were fifteen male workers and three female workers who came to help cook today.
In addition, Li Yunniang has a total of four people cooking, although it is not enough, but it can barely cope with it.
Everyone was reluctant to come over to help, after all, Lin Yuer's family was notoriously poor.
These three people still came to help because of their past feelings, but they didn't expect the Tiezhu family to be really developed.
"Mother, these five catties of meat are today's share, since everyone comes to our house to work, the food must be full!"
Lin Yuer laboriously carried the internal organs to the river to be cleaned.
"Is this really something to eat?" Long Yuqi was really a little suspicious when he saw Lin Yuer doing that disgusting thing.
"You just wait to eat!" Lin Yuer just wanted to give it a try this time, and if this thing was really delicious, she would take it to the market and sell it.
Lin Yuer fished out another fish from the fish basket and carried these things back with satisfaction.
"How do you get this thing Yu'er?" Li Yunniang said when she saw the internal organs that Lin Yuer brought back.
"Mother, these, these, and this, make soup! Be sure to put some ginger on top. Lin Yuer pointed to the pig liver and pig heart and small intestine and said.
Something else for her to use.
Soon the fragrant rice was out of the pot.
There are only three dishes and one soup, but the ingredients are very sufficient.
A big bowl of pork belly, a big bowl of fish, and a green vegetable, and a big pot of offal soup.
More than a dozen people were holding their own rice bowls and eating happily.
After eating, these people worked more diligently, and this meal cost hundreds of dollars, if they didn't work harder, they couldn't say anything.
The next day, a number of people came to help, but Lin Yuer refused.
There are enough of these people, and no more are needed.
The people who came on the first day were some diligent people, she was very satisfied, and she didn't need more people, but would be in a hurry.
Those who came the next day were very annoyed, they knew that they would come to help on the first day, but they didn't expect the food of the Tiezhu family to be so good.
It's a pity that the Lin family is no longer allowed to ask for more people, and they are embarrassed to say that they want to help.
