Chapter 43: Building a House

Today, Huixin wants to discuss with her father at home about building a house, so she won't go to town, because her mother accompanied Zhang's family, with her mother's skills, Huixin is very relieved.

Lin Laosan will build a house, but his legs and feet are inconvenient at the moment, and he is obviously not suitable for the overall situation, the father and daughter discussed it and decided to take this job out, they only need to give out the silver, and don't care about the rest.

The next question is where to build a house, Huixin doesn't want to be too close to the Lin family's old house, she can be as far away as she can, Grandma Zhao's side is very good, the place is big, you can build as big as you want, the terrain is high, you are not afraid of floods, the transportation is also very convenient, and this place is relatively barren, and the land price is cheap.

worked hard to convince Lin Laosan, of course, Huixin would not tell her father that she wanted to stay away from the Lin family's old house.

In these years, there are also contractors, Li Zheng's eldest son is Sun Fuquan who drives ox carts, and the second son Sun Luquan is a contractor, building houses, repairing walls, panning kangs and other work, and there is a third son, who is studying in the town like the fourth child of the Lin family, called Sun Shouquan.

After Huixin and her father discussed, they went to Lizheng's house, bought land to find Lizheng, and built a house to find Sun Luquan.

Hearing Huixin say that her family was going to build a house, Li Zheng was happy for the Lin family's three rooms, and the villagers could live and work in peace and contentment, and he was extremely relieved as Li Zheng.

At the same time, he also admires the Lin family's three rooms, how long has it been since they were separated to build a new house, he heard his eldest son say that the Lin family's business is very profitable, and one or two silver a day is not a problem.

Fertile land costs ten taels of silver per acre, like the land next to Grandma Zhao's house is not suitable for farming, and it is desolate, and the villagers will not buy it, so it is very cheap, as long as five taels of silver per acre, there are ten acres of land over there, and Hui Xin Suo Xingquan bought it.

Land is very important at all times, and it is a good deal, but in modern times, land is a lot of money, and money may not be able to buy it, compared to ancient land, it is too cheap.

They have a lot of money, and they have money every day, so Huixin and Lin Laosan discussed plans to build a bigger house and cover all the chicken and pig pens at one time.

Sun Luquan is a very experienced contractor, material money processing money, Sun Luquan asked Huixin for a total of 60 taels of silver, Huixin doesn't know much about this, but this price is similar to Lin Laosan's estimate.

Hui Xin came with silver, and gave all the money for the land and the house to be built.

Li Zheng was a little shocked, although the business of the Lin Laosan family was very profitable, but he didn't expect to be able to take out so much, which was too rich, and when the Lin family's three-bedroom house was built, it was estimated that it would be better than his house, and it would become the first in the village.

The land deed is going to the yamen of the county seat tomorrow to handle it, and Sun Luquan will go to buy raw materials and organize manpower today, if it goes well, the construction can start tomorrow.

Huixin doesn't know how to design houses, although she knows a lot of house styles, but house design involves a lot of things, and it needs to be more precise, not just good-looking, the key is to be strong, so she just told Sun Luquan some of her simple requirements, and in general, Sun Luquan needs to play by himself, but the houses in this era are generally the same, and there is nothing to brain.

Back home, Hui Xin suddenly didn't know what to do, she had been busy before, she couldn't be idle for a day, and she didn't rush to the market today, but felt empty, and it seemed that the habit was still terrible.

Xiaozhu was still practicing calligraphy, and Huixin had no choice but to guide Xiaozhu to read and write. Xiaozhu is very smart, and it doesn't take much effort to teach Xiaozhu.

One of the sisters and brothers taught seriously, and the other studied hard, and before they knew it, it was almost noon.

These days, Huixin is tired to death every day, and she is not in the mood to cook at all.

Recently, their family has been living a good life, there is no need to suffer themselves, white noodles are not so rare in their family. Huixin first mixed some white noodles, then chopped a bowl of thin shallots, sprinkled with salt, poured oil, stirred evenly, and then rolled the dough into a thin cake, spread the good green onion oil on it, rolled it up and rolled it into a thin cake, put it in the pot, slowly burned it over low heat, only turned it over, and Huixin smelled the fragrance of the scallion pancake.

"Sister, what are you doing deliciously, it's so fragrant." Xiaozhu belongs to a cat, and he came over after smelling the fragrance.

"Little glutton, wait a little longer." Hui Xin doted on her younger brother.

Under the gaze of Xiaozhu looking through the autumn water, the thin crispy scallion pancake was finally out of the pot.

Xiaozhu couldn't wait to take a bite, and it was so hot that he exhaled, but he also said that it was delicious.

Huixin made a lot of white noodles and scallion pancakes today, and sent some to Grandma Zhao first, and left them to eat at home.

After baking the cake, the whole kitchen was filled with the smell of scallion pancake, which smelled very tempting.

Seeing that there are still fresh live fish in the tank, Huixin made a sweet and sour fish, this is the first time Huixin has made it for the family to eat, if everyone thinks it is good, they can sell it on the market, adding a new dish to their business.

Another stir-fried green vegetable, plus the family's pig water and konjac tofu, is also a hearty table.

Not long after cooking, Zhang and Yu's mother came back, and they went well today and didn't encounter anything.

When eating, everyone praised Huixin's craftsmanship, especially the sweet and sour fish, which tasted even better than braised fish, it turned out that the fish could be burned like this.

Yu's mother was very surprised, Xin'er is really smart, don't look at it as a little girl from the countryside, she has never eaten the dishes she has thought out before, and with her former identity, she has eaten a lot of good things.

So the sweet and sour fish was unanimously passed.

In the afternoon, the fish in the river suffered. Today I caught twice as much fish as usual, because I had to make two flavors.

The konjac is almost used, with the addition of Yu's mother, everyone is ready to do a big job today, except for Lin Laosan, everyone went up the mountain and started digging and digging.

Yu's mother has fast thighs and feet, carrying a large basket full of konjac on her back, walking like flying, transporting it again and again.

Huixin doesn't know how many konjacs there are on this mountain, it is expected that there should be a lot, no one has eaten this for so many years, wild and wild, it is estimated that there are a lot of these things underground, which should be enough for them to support until next year, but they still have to do a good job of secrecy, so as not to be discovered, and the villagers must not be robbed, and their own financial roads will be cut off when the time comes.

But fortunately, they now live at the foot of the mountain, and no one finds out about carrying konjac back and forth.

This is not a long-term plan, this kind of thing can be hidden for a while, it can't be hidden for a lifetime, sooner or later it will be made public, but before that, her family has to store enough konjac, and next year it will be planted in large quantities.

After digging so much, it should be able to survive a month or two, and it will definitely not be able to finish digging in a day, and there will be time to continue later.

Huixin didn't hide her selfishness, and after she went back, she taught Zhang and Yu's mother the practice of sweet and sour fish, and then there was nothing for Huixin, and Zhang and Yu's mother were all busy.

Huixin's main job is to teach Xiaozhu to read, Xiaozhu is very happy, and is even more grateful to Yu's mother, it is Yu's mother who came so that his sister has time to teach him to read.

Xiaozhu doesn't know how well the teacher in the town teaches, anyway, he likes his sister very much to teach him, and he doesn't know if his sister teaches well or if his husband teaches well, Xiaozhu is looking forward to going to school next year.

My sister promised him to send him next year, and he would definitely go, and he had to study more now, so as not to embarrass his sister by going to the town to study.
