339. Grocery store

Then the family started a series of discussions about the grocery store, so that the meal lasted more than an hour, and fortunately the weather was hot at this time, if it was extremely cold, it would have frozen into ice lumps, and the teeth could be knocked out.

The main discussion is the location of the shop, not at home but not far from home, otherwise it will always have to occupy a manpower.

In the end, it was unanimously decided to build another gatehouse at the gate of the courtyard, but to open a small door from the outside, so that no matter whether you buy or sell, you don't need to enter your own yard so that your family can maintain a certain amount of privacy, and you don't need to be alone in the shop every day, shouting can be heard.

In this way, the already small yard of the family may shrink even more.

If you re-locate and build one, you will also face the problem of occupying manpower.

You can't just hire another guy for the sake of a shop that is convenient for the people in the village.

And the most important point is that the Hua family tacitly understands that there are outsiders in the shop, and some things are really inconvenient.

In the end, I decided to build another gatehouse, which didn't need to be too big, and could sell things.

After eating, drinking, and resting, Hua Chengtian took his two sons and got busy.

Now that Hua Chengtian is building a house, he can already be called a master, and he has not participated in any of the houses in the entire valley, but it is not a problem to build a small gatehouse.

What's more, there are not many others in the house, but there is enough wood, and there is a thick pile in the corner.

and his sons, Dad said he would do it, and when he was halfway through the work, the two brothers-in-law and nephews got the news and got involved, and even Luo Song, who came to find Hua Yunao, was also busy.

A small wooden house was completed perfectly before dark, and even the roof was neatly lined with timbers, then covered with a layer of oilcloth and red mud wrapped in dead grass, and finally covered with a layer of rubble made by the villagers themselves in a kiln.

Speaking of which, I have to mention the Zheng Datian family, a foreigner who can fire clay pots.

This is also a capable person with an active brain, perhaps full of hope for life again, and the brain will turn naturally fast.

He not only burned pottery, but also studied the bricks and rubbles on a whim, but he didn't expect to be really burned out by him, and he really accumulated a lot of money these days.

I heard that the eldest son who went to Ding Rubble said that Zheng Datian's business had been good in the past two days, and the people in Lijia Village heard that he had a lot of bricks and rubble here.

Whether it is to build an adobe house or a wooden house, materials are needed, especially adobe houses, and the adobe must be prepared in advance for drying, which requires a process, which is really not available in Huajia Village.

Although there is wood to build a house, the price of wood and masonry is not much different from that of the house, and the most important thing is that in the inherent thinking, the big guy still feels that the brick and stone house looks more down-to-earth and more secure.

Except for the fact that the poor and the poor were reluctant to spend money to temporarily build a shed as a shelter, almost all of the people who had a little foundation at home ordered some bricks and stones.

Village Chief Li and the men of Lijia Village who were rescued from the hands of the brute villains had the silver that the village chief had shared, and almost all of them were set with bricks and stones.

There are also some people who gritted their teeth and bought some, but most of them were rubble from the roof, and Hua Chengtian's idea was the same, as long as the structure of the house was strong and the roof did not leak rain, and then they worked hard to cut down trees and build their own houses, although it may take more time.

Fortunately, the weather is good now, even if you sleep outside, you don't have to worry, the only thing you need to pay attention to is whether there will be rain, but it is unlikely, since the flood has receded, there has not been a drop of rain for more than two months.

Zheng Datian's family did earn a lot this time, and sure enough, those who work hard always have gains, so much so that Hua Chengtian couldn't help but sigh.

It has indeed brought a lot of improvements to the life of Zheng Datian's family, and within a few days of the opening of the grocery store, Zheng Datian bought 200 catties of coarse grain, and he could see that he was in a really good mood with a smile.

But that's all for later, and the house has just been built and the grocery store hasn't opened yet.

After the cover is completed, it needs to be dried for two days, during which Hua Chengtian and his sons are busy with the follow-up preparations in the grocery store, such as shelves and something.

This is his old job, it's not difficult, the master will be ready in two days, as a member of the family, although the brocade will not do anything, but it can't help much, pour a tea, hand over a water, and get a tool.

In short, it's all about participation!

With such a big movement in the village chief's house, naturally he couldn't hide it from the rest of the village, but when everyone reacted and wanted to help, the house had already been built.

For this reason, Hua Qiang, Hua Meng, Meng Cai and a few people gave Hua Chengtian a blank look, and scolded him for not treating them as brothers, and he didn't even call them for such a big thing as building a house, and the whole Hua Chengtian couldn't cry or laugh.

After packing up, it was already the fifth day after the grocery store opened, and it was rare to be lively in the valley on this day.

Sugar water is a good thing, and in today's situation, everyone who has it can be used on the blade, let alone take it out to entertain people.

Many people went in to change something, or buy something, but not much was happy.

It was lively until noon, but the big guys were very happy, and the things in the grocery store were quite complete, so there was no need to worry about the shortcomings in the future.

I don't know if it was affected by the grocery store, but it didn't take long for Dr. Sun's medical hall to open, and Pork Rong also got a butcher shop outside his yard, although there was not much meat in the shop.

With food, Wei Dapeng and his father also picked up the technology of winemaking, although the wine is still being brewed, but the shop has also been pulled up.

Not to mention Zheng Datian's brick and pottery shop, in a real sense, it opened earlier than the grocery store.

And the Luo family, as the most abundant material, naturally can't miss this excitement, opened a cloth shop, and sells some things that are not available in the grocery store.

The purpose is not to make money, but to integrate into the Huajia Village faster.

A few shops were pulled out in a row, and the mother-in-law and woman with flexible brains simply took out the vegetables, pickles, and saved eggs, duck eggs, etc., which had grown out of the house, and set up a small stall directly outside the outer wall of the inner valley.

In a short period of time, the atmosphere in the valley suddenly became a lot more lively, obviously the people were still those who suddenly seemed to be popular, as if they had returned to before the disaster, and even the people of Lijia Village, who had just entered the valley not long ago, couldn't help but show a smile when they felt the atmosphere, no longer a sad look, and the whole person exuded vitality and hope.

I just wanted to be convenient for everyone, but I didn't expect it to bring such an unexpected effect, which was not expected by Hua Laohan's family, but they were also happy to see it.

After that, Hua Laohan had an extra habit, and when he was fine, he walked around a few shops in the village with a smile behind his back.
