Chapter 168: Isn't This Becoming Xu Jinlian and Bai Ximen (Two Chapters in One)

It is impossible for this village not to become rich.

As for what the men in Erdaohe Village were busy with, Mrs. Xu really didn't have time to introduce more, so she hurried home when she led the Bai family father and son to Liu Laozhu.

Then the Bai family's father and son were taken over by Liu Laozhu.

Liu Laozhu was very enthusiastic when he saw Bai Xiucai, and even wanted to drag someone to sit on his youngest son's kang for a while, and lie down.

It's not about thinking, rubbing your talents.

Mrs. Xu is not here, if Mrs. Xu is present, she will definitely complain, I have heard of rubbing ifi, but I have never heard of rubbing talent.

At this time, Liu Laozhu looked at the Bai family's father and son with envy.

If it is said that Liu Jingdong of his family is studying, then the youngest son of the Bai family is a heifer of another class, not an ordinary cow.

It's only eighteen years old to show talent, and next year you will have to take the exam. Obviously, he was born in the same village and grew up eating about the same dry food, so the boy of the Bai family called the hero and didn't ask where he came from, and his kid was purely dry and didn't care about the number of catties.

However, the Bai family father and son refused to sit more, and Liu Laozhu did not feel too regretful.

After all, the house was rented out, and when the house was taken back when it expired, he planned to leave the two rooms of the Bai family to Liu Jingdong, just like that.

The servants walked along the dam towards the outside of the village, and when they heard the Bai family father and son ask if they had not seen the men in the village, Liu Laozhu explained with a smile:

"You can see it when you climb up the dam. There are a handful of men who practice floating on the water in a boat, and they are floating on the surface of the river.

There are now a total of nine fishing boats in our village, and they basically go out with nets every day, taking advantage of the fact that the river is not frozen to catch more fish, and after two days the ice will not be able to fish.

The main thing is to borrow Xu Jiaguang, after this side of the fish, the Xu family will immediately take away the cash, no need for everyone to go out to sell, and no need to worry about whether it can be sold.

This has made the men, women and children in our village addicted to fishing. When I was old, I didn't come home late at night, so I sat by the dam and waited for the fish to come ashore.

There are also some laborers, with meniscus in their hands, shouting loud slogans, cutting trees and carrying wood on the mountains."

Liu Laozhu's words were learned by Mrs. Xu.

A few days ago, the village came to deliver pork plate oil, and that day the strong laborers in the village walked the most slippery, and even the Xu family was not at home.

The other party asked, where are the men in your village, quickly call a few young men to help unload the car.

When he heard Mrs. Xu answer like this, Liu Laozhu planned to pay special attention to reciting Mrs. Xu's quotations in the future.

Later, there was no recruitment that day, and he couldn't find the fat pork that the young man carried by him, which made him tired. He was also buried by the women in the village, saying that he was too empty.

Liu Laozhu pointed in the direction of the mountain, and said with a smile on his face:

"Come nearer in a moment, and you won't be able to hear the screams of the people on the mountain.

We don't know why we have so much strength.

The boys in our village carried down the cartloads of stones, and the thighs of mine and the thick wood were carried down, and they could still shout slogans in unison.

What Changbai Mountain Indigo grass, white mountains and black water are all treasures; Pull the climbing plow to pump the ice, and the two rivers are slippery; Siberian tigers and wild boars, opening mountains and cutting down big trees."

The father and son of the Bai family all laughed, this village is full of vitality, and it is right to choose the shop here, which is very in line with their Bai family's style and belongs to a group of like-minded people.

When the servants drove to the new house, the Bai family father and son finally understood why the rumors in the outer village were so evil.

It's really too hot here, and it's many times more lively than the village.

And in such a scene, no matter who passes by, they have to go home and talk about a big thing. It's not evil to spread like this.

Just look, there is a special group of laborers who only make furniture.

I heard that in addition to removing the wood for cabinets and kang boards, tables and chairs, even chopsticks and dogs climbing plows in Erdaohe Village seem to be engaged in wholesale.

Liu Lizheng said that we can't afford to buy so many mules and oxen, but we have to dig ice holes to transport fish, especially in winter, and we can't do it without dogs climbing plows.

And what about dogs?

"When the dog arrives, you can afford to buy it, and you can't afford to pull it by people."

And then the Bai family's father

The two then saw that there were also a group of strong men in several "strange houses", using the stones they had brought back to pave the ground and build circles.

Those strong men first built large circles with bricks, and then wrapped them around the big circles with pebbles.

Not only is the large pool all covered inside and out, but there are also pebbles in some parts of the wall. There are also steps outside the large pool.

At the same time, another group of laborers outside were building large chimneys out of bricks and adobe, and erecting two thick and large chimneys, but they were not on the roof of the house, but on the edge of the house.

Bai Yihai knows that there are some things that should not be asked in detail, which will be rude.

But when he saw that under these strange houses, there were also two groups of hundreds of people digging tunnels, and finally couldn't help asking, "What is this?"

Liu Laozhu thought to himself: I can't hide the matter of opening a bathhouse, the Bai family will come after a while, there is nothing that can't be said. Besides, the pottery pipes were all set by the Bai family, and if they couldn't afford it, they would buy a bath ticket to take a bath, so they explained after thinking about it:

"A group of people dug tunnels to bury pipes, and your father knew that it was a fixed water inlet pipe. Just wait for the tube to be in place.

There was also a group of men digging a tunnel from the chimney to the bottom of the house, above which was the shop where we were going to take a bath, and then the hot water was boiling underground."

The father and son of the Bai family said in unison: "Underground fire?"

"Yes, you haven't been to the Xu family's shop to see it, have you? Her house is a stove that burns in the ground.

It's much the same as that, we open a bathhouse and burn it underground.

After burning, the ground is hot, don't you see us pushing back a lot of pebbles? We learned that thing from the Zhenbei Army, and the pebbles were heated to keep warm.

And with this kind of heating, the big circle you just saw is the pool for bathing, and the water in the pool will always be hot."

For example, some people don't want to take a bath together, so they have to make their own wooden barrels, they only need to heat the wooden barrel with water.

The outside of the barrel is covered with a curtain, which is not made of cloth.

Liu Laozhu has no cloth in his hand, and the cloth is purchased at the internal price of the people in the village, and then sold in other villages, but it has long been sold. The old people in the village are weaving mats, and the mats are rolled up on weekdays, and they ask us to put them down again, which is better than cloth curtains and saves money.

And in this way, the water in the big pool does not need to be cold and hot, hot and cold tossed back and forth. Unless the water is particularly buried, the plug in the pool is unplugged and the water flows out of the drain.

Liu Laozhu and the Xu family did business together, leaving a total of four rooms as bathhouses.

A big room for bathing, a small room or rubbing a bath or lying on the kang to drink tea and rest on the feet.

This belongs to the matching one, two sets.

There are four large pools in each big room, each pool can accommodate fifteen people, if the butt is twenty butts is not a problem, it will be wide-eyed, and see some places that should not be seen, then it is fine, they are all soaked in the water and men are afraid of something. Each room has a separate tub that can hold up to four.

It's just that the tub hasn't been made yet, so it's not much to mention.

Bai Yihai has taken such a bath in the county, and it seems that there is no one in the town.

The ancients under the Zhou rites would take a bath whenever they wanted to see important people.

Bai Yihai knew that he would definitely be able to make money when he drove it, maybe even he would come to soak in it, after all, the conditions at home in the northern winter were limited, but, "Will it be cold? I see that the walls are a little thin. I went to the county to soak it, and the county was full of green bricks without adobe bricks, and it was still a little cold after washing."

Speaking of this, Liu Laozhu had a toothache:

"That's why I regret it, I didn't think too much about it at the beginning. At that time, I only thought about the whole village doing it together.

But no one in the village is doing it, there is no recruitment, you Aunt Xu said, let's take the lead in the two of us.

And your Aunt Xu, if it becomes her family's business, she would rather spend more money in the early stage than deal with it.

She couldn't wait to rip it all up, but it was too late to freeze, so she didn't."

It cost a lot of bricks to dig up, but fortunately, the two families bear it together, because the hot area for digging underground needs to be built with bricks.

Liu Laozhu complained about the truth.

Mrs. Xu

I really moved the idea of building an earthen fort to make a bathhouse, how warm it was.

But at present, the actual situation is there, and the fire can only be burned underground according to local conditions, so that the whole ground is warmed up, and the ground including the inside and outside of the pool are paved with pebbles, one is non-slip and the other is to keep warm. It's just not good to clean up, it's okay, they have wild boar hair brushes.

Then even the bathing room, the bed lying down has become a small bed like a hot kang, and these small kang will be heated underground, and then go to the side of the Chase to spread the hot kang and cover it crookedly.

This is the limit of what the Xu family and the Liu family can do at present.

However, it would be nice if there was horse dung and cow dung. In particular, horse dung is made of bricks and built on a kang, and it is said that it can automatically heat up when lying on it, and it smells of grass without a smell, and it smells hot.

It would be better if there was a lot of horse dung and cow dung, isn't it that the walls are not insulated?

Mrs. Xu thought about it, and put them outside the house, first the entire dung fort in all directions, and then the windows were all open from the roof to let in the air, and there were no windows around. This year, I can only do this first, and after I earn the money, I will build it again next year. This is also the reason why Xu Tianxin wrote a letter to Jia Lai to mention it, because she knew that her grandmother was in a hurry.

And Liu Laozhu did not explain the above to the Bai family father and son in detail, because there was no dung.

Unless he waits for the third child to return to bring back a batch of goods, the other is to use the cow dung left by the first batch of caravans to remedy it.

Liu Laozhu took the Bai family father and son to plan to do the right thing first and let them choose the house.

But Bai Yihai stood at the water clock, motionless.

Liu Laozhu saw this scene and said proudly: "Your Aunt Xu's granddaughter Tian Xin tinkered with it, saying that there are gears in it that will move by itself."

"She's ......"

"But she's not available, or I'd like to ask her." Liu Laozhu looked at Father Bai and smiled: "You said that the kid has a long head, how can he be so smart, I don't understand what gear is right now."

didn't wait for Bai Xiu to propose a meeting, and Liu Laozhu went back.

Then he pointed to the third house from the east, "Busy in those rooms."

In fact, when Bai Yihai came over earlier, he noticed those rooms with closed doors.

He could hear a lot of girls chattering inside.

At the same time, Xu Tianxin also felt something strange and raised his head from the distiller.

He got up and went to another room, and quietly opened the curtain like a head teacher, and observed the girls' reactions.

Because the background music in her live broadcast room is playing: "The little girl is not talented, and she is not favored by her son. The son walked north, and the little woman looked south, and this life was over, unforgettable......

Xu Tianxin wondered who was coming?

Not only did this kind of song play, but it also provoked her group of hard-working little sisters to wander frequently, and they always wanted to pass by the window, and there seemed to be something attractive outside.

"Finished making alkaline water? Finished grinding the dried pollen?"

Xu Tianxin's little friend Mai Miao was startled, it was really terrible for her best friend to become a boss.

After Xu Tianxin finished talking about Mai Miao, she glanced at the girls in charge of each stall in the house, everyone's faces were a little red and hung their heads slightly, she understood, it was a handsome guy of the right age.

Xu Tianxin complained with some disgust: "What's the use of just stealing to see what else can you do except delay making money." If you really have any thoughts about others, at least you have to change them to action. For example, when he comes, he opens the window and throws a stick out."

Is the scene familiar? This is how Simon and Jin Lian met. One drops, one picks up.

The girls immediately looked up at Xu Tianxin in disbelief, and then laughed in unison.

Xu Tianxin couldn't help but smile: "I'm serious. There is a poem called, where does the Jun family live, the concubine lives in Hengtang, stops the boat and asks temporarily, or I am afraid that it is a fellow villager. To put it bluntly, it was a man in the picture, who deliberately stopped the boat, and said that the family had to be like a fellow villager, so wouldn't it be a conversation. Whether you look like it or not, the other person will talk to you and explain."

And this trick is ancient and modern.

Like she has seen a book called "System: You Support Me Up" in modern times, and there is a clip in which the heroine will be in her arms

The book I was holding accidentally fell in front of the man I liked, and the heroine couldn't pick it up when her hands were dirty, and then the other party helped pick it up, and they went back and forth.

It can be seen that there are so many fates from heaven, if you sit at home, the planes and cannons can't crash in, and you have to create your own fate with whomever you want to do.

Mai Miao relied on her private relationship with Xu Tianxin, and she couldn't help but blush, and suddenly boldly asked, "Then what about talking, Tianxin, you can talk to us in detail."

The other girls also looked at Xu Tianxin, yes, yes, yes, you can recite poetry, and you must be outstanding in other aspects.

"Well, after we talked, this is already the beginning of Jiang Taigong's fishing wishes. If you pick what he understands, it's best to get a little off the beaten track and wait for him to answer. Again, don't bully me into not being literate, can there be such a thing in the world? If you laugh and pretend not to believe it, he will scratch his ears and cheeks and say that he didn't lie to you, and he will be anxious to explain to you that what he said is true, and you two will talk more."

At this time, Xu Tianxin didn't know that her nonsense would be effective in two years.

Two years later, the girls who heard this "trick" grew up and really put her words into practice. After all, that's what Xu Tianxin said.

Some people who have dropped flowers and dung will hand over their mushrooms and say that they were thrown away. There are also those who misidentify their cousins and accidentally break their feet in front of the man they like.

In short, there are very few handsome guys from ten miles and eight villages who are valued by the girls who have not been taken. Even if she didn't take it, when the matchmaker mentioned the man, she would say: I have seen this sister. It can be seen that he has left a deep mark in the other party's heart.

However, Xu Tianxin didn't know anything at the moment, she was taking the stick blocking the window, pushing open the window to see who was coming and what she looked like.

Before Mai Miao could tell her, "That's not what we dare to think, that's Bai Xiucai", the stick in Xu Tianxin's hand fell, and she confirmed that Bai Xiucai might have heard her nonsense.

Because the live broadcast room is playing a background music called outside the window.

Because Bai Xiucai was standing outside the window, he also picked up the stick, looked at her and asked with a smile, "Dare to ask the girl's name." He guessed, eccentric, he didn't recognize the wrong person.

「…… Xu Xiangyi."

"Thank you for not disagreeing with the remnant lamp, the lonely boat will depend on each other all night? Is there a small print?"

"Words, Tian Xin."

This time Bai Xiucai smiled even more, revealing his dimples, not that Xu Tianxin's name was funny, but that it was similar to him, the small characters were very casual, and the name was very good: "In the next, Bai Muyan, the word, Yihai."

Xu Tianxin hurriedly made a blessing ceremony through the window, which turned out to be a letter written by this old man to Xiangshan.

The girls in the room who made soaphorns watched this scene with wide eyes: "......"
