"Uncle Dashan, take out the mold and take a look!" Gu Chengyu jumped out of the car.

"Wait! I've put it all in the back room, I'll get it for you!" Dashan put down the shelf in his hand and went to the inner room.

When Gu Chengyu took the mold in his hand, he found that Dashan had indeed made it with his heart, the edge of the mold was polished smooth, and the carving inside was quite detailed, Gu Chengyu nodded with satisfaction, maybe he could also find him if the new house wanted to make furniture in the future.

"Daddy! Pay for it! "The price was all agreed at the beginning, and Daddy Gu paid the rest of the two taels of silver.

"Big brother! If you still have fine carpentry work in the future, just come to me. My craft isn't very good, but I can see it very well. "Dashan saw that Gu Dad and they paid the money so happily, and he also hoped that this kind of work would be available in the future.

"If there is such a job in the future, I will still look for you, then we will leave!"

"Hey! Slow down! Dashan watched the Gu family's ox cart slowly move away, touched the two taels of silver in his hand, and grinned happily, it was not in vain that he had spent so much energy. As for what kind of mold is carved, he won't ask, there are some things that can't be talked about, and customers don't talk about it, so they can't ask!

"Daddy! Is there a lot of grass ash in our stove? Gu Chengyu plans to go back and soak the plant ash for two or three days to see, there is no caustic soda process in ancient times, it can only be extracted from the plant ash, but the color may not be very good-looking.

"That's not much ash, isn't it? Let's take it for laundry! "Daddy Gu was a little strange, why did Gu Chengyu suddenly ask this?

"I need to make soap, and when I go back, I soak the ashes of the plants and trees. We still have to buy some fatty meat, and we need to make oil when we go back, and we need lard to make soap, and we will buy this in two days. Father! When the time comes, you can buy three or four catties of fat meat on the street, bring some pork ribs, and open meat for your family! Gu Chengyu thought of the braised pork ribs in his previous life, and almost drooled.

"That fat meat is used for soap, can you buy pork ribs and eat them? It's all bones, not even meat. If you really want to eat meat, let's buy some pork belly to satisfy your cravings! "Father Gu thought that his son wanted to save money, so he was reluctant to buy pork belly, but he still earned more than fifty taels today!

"Daddy! Pork ribs are delicious! Buy two more pounds and come back. Gu Chengyu thought that the ribs of the Dayan Dynasty should be very cheap, and was ready to ask his mother to make him a braised pork ribs.

When Gu Chengyu and the others went home, the Lu family was collecting fungus. Gu Chengyu estimated that he would be able to dry it again tomorrow.

Gu Chengyu hurriedly asked the Lu family to soak the ashes of the plants and trees in a bucket, this has to be soaked for a few days, otherwise the alkalinity may not be so strong. And instructed everyone to put it out of the reach of the little baby. And do not stir with your hands, lest you burn your hands and burn your skin.

After eating a late-night meal, lay out the paper, and finish the homework. Gu Chengyu practiced calligraphy for a while, and then heard that Daddy Gu was counting the silver.

Lu Shi and Gu Lao Dad took the money box and counted them, and Gu Wan was also stringing copper plates on the side.

"Oops! Old man, our family still has one hundred and forty-six taels now, plus those copper coins, it should be enough to build a big tiled house, right? "A few days ago, because of the purchase of land, only a few dozen taels of silver were used in the family's five hundred taels of silver, but now there are one hundred taels left, which was really unimaginable before. Until more than a month ago, the family's silver had never exceeded thirty taels.

"It's still Xiaobao's ideas, and the money is fast! Ay! But I earn more, and I use more! I can't believe it, our family has a few hundred taels of silver this month! Father Gu also sighed.

It's also that he has no ability, he has lived for most of his life, and he hasn't been able to earn two silver for nothing. Father Gu looked up at Gu Chengyu, who was sitting and writing in front of him, and saw that the little hands were holding a brush and practicing big characters seriously. Daddy Gu smirked, such a smart little baby turned out to be his son.

"Daddy! We have so much silver? How much does it cost to build a house? Is it enough? Gu Wan looked at the silver in the money box and asked in surprise.

"Now there is enough silver! This time, I bought the yard next door, and according to what Xiaobao said, I built a two-entry house. Behind our house is a wasteland, Shangli is making some money, build a bigger one, you are also a big girl, leave you a room. ”

Daddy Gu was pulled back to his thoughts by Gu Wan's words, he originally felt that there was no silver, so he didn't want to build it so big, but now that the silver is enough, it is better to cover it all at once, and it will be more convenient for the baby at home to say kiss in the future.

"Really? Daddy is so good! Gu Wan jumped up happily on the kang, she really didn't want to sleep in that hut anymore.

"Old man, when Ming'er has dried the honeysuckle and fungus, he can still sell it for silver." Of course, the Lu family was very happy that his family could earn money. It's the only regret that this silver was earned by Xiaobao, but in the end it was cheaper than the previous ones.

The more I think about it, the more angry I get, no. "Old man! Let's talk about this house! Don't give this house to the boss in the future, this house was built with Xiaobao's silver, and you can't leave Xiaobao behind when the family separates in the future. "The Dayan Dynasty is divided, the old people all follow the eldest to live, and the house has to be given to the big house, and the other sons will subsidize some silver taels, go out and build another house, or only get two rooms, and it will be up to the sky, and the eldest son can still get more than half of the family's property.

"What are you talking about? When did I say I was going to break up? Don't worry, Xiaobao, I have my own plans. "Daddy Gu remembered that he was not too young, what if he went one day and left Xiaobao and his mother? The third and fourth children are also older, and they can take care of themselves. But Xiaobao still has to study, reading costs a lot, and when he leaves, Xiaobao's life will be sad, and Gu's father plans to save some silver for Gu Chengyu.

When Gu Chengyu heard this, he lifted his pen and looked at his father and mother with a smile. "Mother! What are you worried about? I can earn a few dozen taels today, and a few hundred taels tomorrow. When I'm older, I'm afraid I won't be able to look down on this house! What Gu Chengyu said is also the truth, that is, when he grows up, he will not do anything, and he will not worry about food and clothing, and there are many good things in the space!

Besides, he was already planning to buy private property, so when he went to the restaurant to sell recipes, he didn't sell much, and he planned to open his own restaurant in the future. It's just that he doesn't have anyone around him who needs to be used. Suddenly, Gu Chengyu thought of human teeth, the ancient population could be bought and sold, and what kind of talents were needed, you could go to the tooth shop to see. This has to be carefully pondered.

"My mother knows that my little treasure is smart, can earn money, and can read! But who can say what will happen in the future? Lu sat beside Gu Chengyu, touched his head, and sighed. Although she usually seems to have enough money for her mother-in-law, she also has difficulties as a steproom. She didn't dare to think that if the old man was suddenly gone, the eldest and second would be as obedient as they were now.

Sensing that Lu's mood was not high, Gu Chengyu held Lu's hand and comforted him for a while.
