Chapter 195 Shopkeeper Chu builds a house in Jiuli Village
Author: Yiyizhou
Weishui is a land rich in sorghum, and July is the sorghum harvest season, so Tang Zangyue went there just in time.
Local sorghum costs 15 cents per catty, which is equivalent to the price of half a bucket of polished rice. Tang Zangyue bought it in large quantities, so the price is naturally negotiable. One catty can be cheaper by two cents.
Weishui is not far from the border. It can be reached in less than two days at a high speed. Tang Zangyue thought that since he went out to collect sorghum, it would mean that he would come back next year and let these people plant more, so he went to Linyu again.
Collect seafood and finally return to Jiuli Village in mid-July.
Because Tang Zangyue was away, the ice maker at home turned to Shopkeeper Chu. However, the latter's high cost of making ice made the Xiao family's life less comfortable. Moreover, during the period when Tang Zangyue disappeared, Liu's restaurant was no longer for sale.
Refrigerated products.
Because of the hot weather, even the purchase of braised food has dropped. Fortunately, Tang Zangyue had prepared it in advance. Liu's Restaurant launched cold dishes for sale, which attracted many diners.
For Aunt Liu, the weather is hot and she has no intention of cooking. Cold dishes are simple, just cook them first, let them cool, and then mix them to taste, which can save a lot of trouble.
After Tang Zangyue returned, ice was used in unlimited quantities at home, and Liu's Restaurant also provided popsicles again. The price was still the same as before, and it was loved by many people.
In the summer, Aunt Liu spent less time at Liu's Restaurant. Another reason was that late July was also Xiao Yuenong's birthday, which was also a big event here in Tang Zangyue.
The children in Jiuli Village are constantly eating. These two months are probably the most comfortable they have ever been.
In August, Tang Zangyue began to sow pepper seeds and make wine in autumn.
The long-term workers in the family have gained experience, and the common crops have been fertilized again. They hope that this time the pepper yield will be greater than the first time.
Since there was nothing to worry about at home, Tang Zangyue and Shopkeeper Chu rented an abandoned yard outside the town and borrowed manpower to dig a cellar and prepare wine.
When shopkeeper Chu heard about the brewing, he asked Tang Zangyue whether he would sell it or eat it at home.
Tang Zangyue's explanation was: "Selling a small amount... I wonder if shopkeeper Chu has noticed that this summer has been extremely long and hot. I'm afraid the next winter will be the same. Wine is the best thing to warm up in winter."
Shopkeeper Chu thought about it and said: "Does that mean we need to brew a large amount of wine? Isn't there not enough house here? If I don't give all the remote houses under my name to Dr. Tang for free, then the old lady will only need to brew the wine."
Just give me some wine."
While talking, shopkeeper Chu asked tentatively: "Will Doctor Tang live in Jiuli Village in the future?"
Tang Zangyue thought for a moment and nodded: "The villagers in Jiuli Village are not bad. If we move to a new place, we have to get to know people again and build good relationships." She found it troublesome.
Shopkeeper Chu: "Okay, when the time comes, I will build a big blue brick house with tiles next to Dr. Tang, and you will be your neighbor, Doctor Tang." By the way, I will move the things to the big blue brick house so that I can have someone to take care of me in the future.
Tang Zangyue smiled lightly and did not refuse. He only said: "If you want to build a house, you can give priority to the villagers of Jiuli Village."
Shopkeeper Chu agreed. After all, his family had to help Tang Zangyue dig a cellar to make wine, and they didn’t have much manpower. If it was decided to build a large blue brick house in Jiuli Village in the future, the villagers of Jiuli Village would be the first to buy it.
Build good neighborly relations in advance and create a win-win situation. Why not?
Tang Zangyue kept an account book for Shopkeeper Chu, which both parties have on hand. If Shopkeeper Chu wants to withdraw something in the future, both parties can just make a record. This is also considered a settlement between brothers, and it gives Shopkeeper Chu a kind of account. Doctor Tang is very considerate.
Thoughtful thoughts.
After knowing about the deal between the two, Dr. Xue also donated his remote house and took the initiative to ask his family to guard the wine in the cellar. The purpose was obviously the same as Shopkeeper Chu.
Tang Zangyue also did not refuse.
After rushing to make progress and digging the cellar, Tang Zangyue asked Aunt Liu to brew the wine.
She did not intend to make any flavor from the sorghum purchased in large quantities, but to make it as simple as possible, keeping the cost to a minimum, as long as it could be brewed. But for the sorghum purchased at a high price, Tang Zangyue planned to keep it for her own consumption, so there was a difference
Taste, such as sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed, peach blossom stuffed...
However, even if the taste changes, don't prepare to hide it for many years. After all, there will be turmoil later, and who knows whether it will have no fixed place? It is best to dig it out early and make room for it.
When word got out that Shopkeeper Chu was going to build a large blue brick house in Jiuli Village, many people were watching this project.
However, during the spring wheat harvest season at the end of July, some families with few strong laborers are still harvesting grain in the fields. After that, they have to go to the drying field to beat the wheat into husks and make flour, which is stored and eaten. There are also families who grow most of the vegetables and sell them to
After the Xiao family, they took money and went to the city to buy food, especially those who grew a large number of leeks, which were cut and grown again and again. In this way, not only did the family have more food than in previous years, but they also saved a lot of money.
If you are strong enough, you can take over shopkeeper Chu's job of building a house.
When Bai Xiang and her daughter built the tile-roofed house, they had to cook food. Although they had minced meat, they had no money to live with it! Shopkeeper Chu did not hire anyone to cook for the day laborers to save trouble, but when the copper coins were settled that day, that was
A profit!
However, the villagers who had not followed in Tang Zangyue's footsteps regretted it and had already decided to plant vegetables in the coming year. Even if no one comes to the village to build big tile houses and lose a fortune, it can still save a lot of effort and let the children at home eat less.
Suffer less and suffer less!
Shortly after Shopkeeper Chu proposed building a large tile-roofed house, Dr. Xue followed suit and built a courtyard next to Xiao's house. Tang Zangyue was also considering rebuilding his own house when the village was free during winter.
As for where to live... isn't this the newly built house that Shopkeeper Chu and Doctor Xue have to choose from? They can just pay each other rent when the time comes. Even if the house is built, the two will not live there permanently in the past two years, which will be an advantage for the Xiao family.
Some of the villagers in Jiuli Village are working in the fields, and some are already making money and helping shopkeeper Chu build a house.
It's really annoying to compare people to each other.
Jiao'er got along well with Doctor Tang, and with a try mentality, she actually asked her man to catch up with the work. Because shopkeeper Chu didn't provide meals, these part-time workers waited for their wives to bring meals and then started working in the afternoon.
Because Jiao'er became a great contributor to her husband's family and held a generous dowry in her hands, her back was hardened a lot. She did the lightest work at home, and she was also responsible for delivering meals to her husband at noon.
She smiled and watched her husband eat it. The latter was newly married and was quite embarrassed and asked: "Have you eaten it?"
Zhang Jiaoer: "I just came here after eating. You eat quickly. I have to go back to work after eating."
"Thanks a lot."
Although the two villages are close to each other, it is quite a waste of time to go back and forth. In addition, it is hot in the morning, and the man feels sorry for Zhang Jiaoer. The newlyweds are not allowed to mingle with each other. You and me?
When Tang Zangyue came, he saw other men and women who were quite normal, but this pair——
Didn't see it.
Thank you for the monthly ticket. That’s enough for ten. I’ll add another chapter tomorrow. Don’t give it away. I won’t add more chapters in the future. I’m tired┭┮﹏┭┮
