Chapter 106: Digging the Cellar

Originally, the Liu family, Liu Li and Liu Zhang each had a main room on the left and right sides of their bedding front yards, and Liu Yihao and Liu Yiyang each slept in the wings on both sides.

The Liu Yiyu sisters slept in the embroidery building in the backyard.

"Is something happening to the eldest sister?" After Liu Yihao heard Liu Yiyu say this, Liu Yihao was stunned for a while, and then reacted and asked.

"It's okay, now it's almost the New Year, there are a lot of people who have been cheated and abducted, our family has now built such a large blue brick and tile house, and our family is a number of women and children and half-grown children, it is inevitable that some people will have grievances in their hearts, and they will hit our family with bad ideas, don't you have to guard against it, eldest sister? Later, fifth brother, you lead the autumn night to the front yard to watch, dog, be more vigilant than us."

"Well, big sister, I get it."

On the other side, Wang Hu's house.

"Mother, I think clearly, I won't work in the town in the future, the head of the family works alone inside and out, and the son also feels sorry for the mother, mother, you will have a good rest in the future, and I will be at home in the future." After Wang Hu returned to his home, after thinking of what Liu Yishuang had said to him earlier, Wang Hu smiled unconsciously.

"Huzi, you really think it through". Previously, Huzi had a resolute attitude, he wanted to go to the town to work, and he wanted to fill the household for the family, but after returning from the Liu family, Huzi changed his mind, Zhou Xiaoying glanced at his son, and saw that his son had an excited smirk on his face, Zhou Xiaoying, as a person who came over, also knew a little in his heart.

Zhou Xiaoying's lips moved, some words were not said after all, at least let them do this for the time being, and then talk about it later.

There was nothing to do all night, early the next morning, the Liu family sisters and brothers got up early, and after eating the breakfast made by Liu Zhang, the Liu family sisters and brothers began to do things one by one.

Liu Yiyu said earlier that it was a surprise to build the cellar under the firewood room, not in the utility room, and he also had a hidden storage thing at home, even if someone would think of it elsewhere, he would not think of someone building the cellar in the firewood room.

In addition, when the people in the village built a house for the Liu family, they did not ask them to build a cellar, and everyone could not imagine that the Liu family would dig the cellar by themselves, and the safety of the cellar was greatly improved.

Previously, when the Liu family built a firewood house, after seeing that the backyard was huge, the firewood house was also built about forty or fifty square meters.

After the Liu brothers and sisters piled the firewood aside, Liu Yiyu walked around the firewood room and decided to put the entrance to the cellar behind the door to the firewood room.

Liu Yiyu immediately had a plan, made a gesture in his hand, and then told his younger siblings his thoughts, digging one meter long and wide at the entrance, and after going deep into three or four meters, the inside gradually expanded and hollowed out.

After having a plan and plan, the Liu family sisters and brothers began to dig the cellar one by one, Liu Yiyu and Liu Yishuang were responsible for digging up the soil, Liu Yisa and Liu Yiya were responsible for shoveling the soil dug up by the two Liu Yiyu sisters into the bucket, and then let Liu Yihao, Xun'er, and Liu Yiyang carry out buckets and stack them in an open space in the backyard first.

Digging the cellar is a tiring and time-consuming job, plus a group of children of the Liu family digging the cellar, the Liu family dug for more than half a month, and only half of it was dug.

Three days after digging the cellar, Zhang Xin accepted the order of the shopkeeper Zhang and came to discuss the purchase of melon seeds and peanuts secretly made by the Liu family, and incidentally talked about the purchase of fish and birds this year.

Melon seeds and peanuts are common items that every household in the countryside will grow, and after the Chinese New Year in winter, they are fried to entertain guests, and these things are extremely cheap.

In the end, Liu Yiyu and Zhang Xin discussed, the Liu family provided special melon seeds and peanuts, and Xiangmanlou four copper plates were purchased for one catty, and Liu Yiyu also said that in the future, not only will Xiangmanlou provide spiced melon seeds, but also provide spicy melon seeds and sweet melon seeds to ensure the supply and demand of Xiangmanlou.

The Liu family not only has to dig the cellar, but now they have to cook melon seeds, plus the Liu family has not planted many melon seeds and peanuts, and they have to send people out to buy melon seeds and peanuts in the village.

Liu Yiyu discussed with Liu Zhang and Liu Li, and let the Dahua family and Wang Hu's family join the shares and participate in helping, and the three families each contributed a share of the money, and then contributed a manpower, and after selling the money of the melon seeds, let the three families divide it equally.

Liu Zhang's family saw that his family was indeed too busy, and in addition, it had already snowed heavily for more than half a month when he was digging the cellar, and it was time to set up traps to catch birds and birds.

The big flower family and the Wang Hu family saw that the Liu family told themselves a way to make money, and the cost was very low, the two families naturally agreed to invest in the shares, and finally, the three families set the place for boiling melon seeds and peanuts in the big flower house, and every day by Aunt Wang, Zhou Xiaoying and the three sisters cooked melon seeds, Uncle Wang and Huzi went to buy melon seeds, and sent Aunt Wang and their boiled melon seeds to Xiangmanlou.

Liu Yiyu took the second sister, the fourth sister, and the fifth brother to continue digging the cellar, and the sixth and eighth sisters did their laundry and cooking, feeding chickens and pigs, and at the same time, they also had to help train the three dogs in the family.

Rao is another month, the Liujia cellar has been preliminarily dug up, when the time comes, as long as the cellar is mixed with grass and wood ash, mixed with soil, brush the wall, and then move some lime scattered everywhere to absorb moisture, and then, after using a wooden board to pad the ground below, it can be completed.

However, after the third sister and the melon seeds cooked by them were provided to Xiangmanlou, the taste was excellent, and no other family had eaten them, plus Liu Yiyu's newly pushed out spicy melon seeds and sweet melon seeds to Xiangmanlou, as soon as the guests of Xiangmanlou came to eat, they must order these melon seeds and peanuts, which shows that they like these three flavors of melon seeds very much, and even many guests have to pack some melon seeds and peanuts to eat at home after eating and leaving.

The third sister is in short supply of melon seeds and peanuts cooked by them, and they are busy every day, and they are all tired.

Although they were tired, in the past month, the three families made a tael of silver by selling melon seeds and peanuts.

After making money, everyone worked more energetically, and got up early every day in the dark.
