Chapter 0061 Another way
The adobe courtyard of the old patriarch's house was demolished and a new house was to be built.
The red bricks from the brick kiln were used. The biological brother of the Zheng family said that red bricks can be used casually, and any family in the village can build a house.
But the wages are gone.
This is also very cost-effective. Although there is no salary, my mother-in-law works in a pickle workshop, earning fifty copper coins per month.
It's quite a bargain to buy a small red brick courtyard with all my strength.
At first, some people were reluctant. For generations, our houses have been built with blue bricks. Why did it suddenly feel so awkward to use red bricks?
You can pull it off! Your family has had a damn adobe house for generations, but now that you have ready-made and free red bricks for you to build a house, you are still coquettish.
Isn't this nonsense?
Well, the person being ridiculed turned red and wanted to argue a few words, but the other party said: "You are a bitch, you don't know the blessings when you are in the blessings. As the brothers in life have said, a house built with red bricks will be prosperous."
The days after that will definitely be prosperous. If you hesitate to go to the brick kiln, then sadly all the red bricks will be sold out.
I don’t have time to grind your teeth, my small yard is still short of a lot of bricks.”
"Hey, wait for me, I'll go too"
More than a thousand young people from Fangzheng Village were all organized.
The old patriarch was arranging tasks for them, and Brother Sheng said that human resources should be used in a coordinated manner.
We can’t act like a swarm of bees, and we can’t each look after his or her own interests.
Everyone must work together and collaborate.
Two hundred people went up the mountain to cut wood and bamboo; two hundred people transported red bricks, and five hundred people burned bricks to make bricks; the remaining several hundred young men were divided into a dozen teams to build houses for the villagers.
Fangjia Village also dug drainage ditches and connected them with the ditches in Zhengjia Village. In the future, we no longer have to worry about heavy rains and vast oceans.
The house is like crops in the field, growing upwards.
The weather in May is already a bit hot, but it still cannot stop the villagers' enthusiasm for building new homes.
Rows of red-brick and large tile-roofed houses rise from the ground, and farmhouses gradually take shape like magic.
Life is like this, it gets better day by day and changes day by day.
The ravines on the face of the old man in the village have trapped countless mosquitoes and flies, and his toothless mouth seems to have never been closed.
There seemed to be more children with bare buttocks and cheering for joy than before.
This was really unsightly. Xiao Qi was too embarrassed to raise his head when following the young master, but the big man was not. Everything looked familiar. From time to time, he would pull a child to play with the bird.
When the children saw him, they held the little birds in their hands and ran away faster than the other.
Every time at this time, the big man would proudly open his mouth and smile, and he would not forget to curse: "Little Prince"
Correspondingly, children in Zhengjia Village do not see children running around with their buttocks naked, so we have to look at the problem from the perspective of living standards.
Zhengjiacun profited relatively early, from the first noodle cakes to wild chrysanthemums and pickles.
Only when the family has money can their living standards be improved and they will have extra money to buy belongings for the family and clothes for the children.
It is quite difficult for Fangjiacun to have the changes it has now.
At least now I have an income of 50 yuan a month and free red bricks to build a house.
Where can such good things be found in other villages? All this must be grateful to the Zheng family for their kindness.
There is a saying that people often say: Only when you are content can you always be happy.
The people in Fangjia Village are contented, and red brick courtyards are built one after another.
By the way, the walls are painted white, and they don’t look ugly. I’m sure they won’t be freezing this winter.
If a fire pit is built in such a clean and beautiful house, then in the winter, the cats will be drinking wax wine and warming themselves by the fire in the warm room. Don't let those days be too happy.
It is said that this fire kang was also invented by the son of the Zheng family. Look at how the son of the Zheng family invented it.
This little brain melon seed is very useful.
After Zheng Changsheng walked around Fangjia Village, he hid in his study when he returned home.
Li Xiuying was puzzled as to what kind of nerve her son had? So she sent Xiao Qi to investigate.
"Madam, the young master is drawing pictures. He has drawn a lot of tables, chairs and benches. But the shapes are very strange and I have never seen them before."
"Really? I'll go take a look."
Li Xiuying opened the door and walked in. It was nothing special. The fine rice paper was full of patterns.
"Son, what are you doing?"
Zheng Changsheng put down the pen in his hand: "Mom, do you think it would be popular if we put these bamboo furniture in the room?"
"Hey! My son is really good at painting. Wait, you said these furniture are made of bamboo?"
"hold head high."
"Don't try to deceive me. How can such exquisite furniture be made from bamboo?"
Zheng Changsheng shook his head and was speechless. Bamboo has many uses, and it is the most basic for making furniture.
Today he took a walk around and found that the villagers' homes were really bare.
There is not even any decent furniture, and there are many people who cut down tree stumps and use them as stools, and no one knows how to use the bamboos all over the mountains and plains.
As the saying goes, if you rely on the mountains, you will eat the mountains, and if you rely on the water, you will eat the water. You know how to cut it down and use it as firewood, but you don’t know how to transform it into furniture.
Not only can it be used by your own family, but you can also sell it for money. What a great way to make money, but it was wasted like this.
What can’t you make with bamboo beds, bamboo curtains, bamboo mats, bamboo chairs, bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, and bamboo sofas?
It's so cool to lie on a bamboo bed in the hot summer, it's so beautiful just thinking about it.
But this really cannot be blamed on the mountain people. Years of war have caused all their industries to wither away, and the people are living in poverty. It is difficult for them to put enough food on the table. Who has the time to make these things?
Even if someone thinks of doing this, but there is no market, it is in vain.
Zheng Changsheng plans to make bamboo products because brick kilns are really not profitable at the moment. Even if people accept this, it will take a while, and it is unlikely that he will see any money back in the short term.
Although my mother agreed to her plan to make red bricks, she still felt uncertain and worried that the money invested would be wasted.
The long-sighed man has lost a lot of weight recently. Seeing this made him anxious.
But what can be done? We cannot use water cooling to make green bricks. If it is not done properly, it will cause livelihood problems for the villagers downstream.
This is really something I can't bear to do, but if I want to earn back the money my mother invested and make her happy without sighing, I have to think of another way.
Selling bamboo products is a good way. Bamboo is ready-made. You can cut it back and slightly modify it to sell it for money. What a great way to make money.
