Chapter 67: Building a new house(1/2)

In the prosperous dynasty, in the imperial city, only high-ranking officials and some wealthy businessmen could live in wooden houses.

For ordinary people, they can only live in houses made of adobe bricks.

After all, soil is the easiest raw material to obtain, and it can also build a very good house.

At least for ordinary people, it is already very good.

The wooden houses that can be seen everywhere in movies and TV dramas can probably be seen more in the city.

In rural areas, some wealthy landowners will also build wooden houses.

However, for ordinary people, it is more suitable to transfer land to house.

In fact, not only during the Dasheng Dynasty, but also around the 1970s in another time and space, adobe houses were easily seen in rural areas.

At that time, the production team was trying to solve the problem of too many people, too little land, too many people and too few houses.

They chose the method of demolishing the courtyard, converting it to farmland, and building a unified house in the entire courtyard.

In the production team, the adobe bricks are made uniformly, the tiles are fired uniformly, and houses of the same size are built.

The bricks mentioned here are not red bricks or blue bricks, nor are they city wall bricks or floor tiles.

It's this kind of adobe brick.

At present, the villagers of Huangjia Village are planning to build this kind of adobe house for Huang Tinghui and Wu Feilian.

"Hehe, it's really collapsed. I didn't expect that Brother Hui, a weak scholar, would cause quite a stir!"

"Although Brother Hui is weak in literature and delicate in appearance, his strength is incredible. Otherwise, he can hunt a wild boar?"

"If he tormented him like this, even an iron man would be in trouble!"

"No, the house has collapsed..."

As soon as the words fell, the people in the village burst into laughter.

"Huang Xiaozhu!!!" Huang Tinghui said through gritted teeth.

He didn't need to think too much to know that Huang Xiaozhu's stupid mouth was responsible for all this.

Not only is he not careful with his words, this bitch must have added fuel to the fire.

Otherwise, as soon as you appear here, everyone will look at you strangely?

Uncle Erzhu, Uncle Daring, they don't talk about such boring things.

Only Huang Xiaozhu, a bitch like him, cares most about this kind of thing.

As long as he knows something, basically the whole village knows it.

"Brother Hui, it's not me..."

"It's really not me..."

As Huang Xiaozhu spoke, he stepped aside with a guilty conscience.

not him?

Who is it again?

It was the old patriarch who stood up with a cane and hammered the cane onto the ground.

"Okay, stop talking!"

"What's there to say? Building a house is the most important thing."

"Brother Hui told me that he can't let you help him build a house for free. The wages for building the house will still be paid to you!"

"It's winter, and there's not much work to do. You're still paying so much to build a house, but you still talk so much?"

As soon as the old patriarch finished speaking, everyone's eyes lit up.

I thought it would be nice to have food to eat after building a new house.

Unexpectedly, there was still money to be paid, and everyone's energy was mobilized.

"Hey, brother Hui, don't worry, we promise to build you a good house."

"I guarantee that this work will be done properly and it will be done beautifully!"

"Everyone, please work harder and try to let Brother Hui and her new wife live in a new house as soon as possible."

Sure enough, the motivation brought by money is endless.

The few people who were watching Huang Tinghui's joke just now started to move immediately.

Only the old patriarch pulled Huang Tinghui aside, "Brother Hui, can you really pay them enough wages?"

"It doesn't matter if there are fewer, they are all from the same village and from the same clan!"

Although Huang Tinghui has changed for the better.

But the old patriarch also knew that when Huang Tinghui was messing around, the money was flowing out.

If there is no wages for these folks, wouldn't it be a joke and make people work in vain?

"Clan leader, don't worry!"

"Tinghui knows very well that if he hadn't done this, this house wouldn't have been built in a while."

"It's not a problem to live in Uncle Erzhu's house."

Huang Tinghui said to the old patriarch.

In fact, in Huang Tinghui's mind, he wanted to build a wooden house.

It's just that building a wooden house always costs a lot of money.

What's more, Huang Tinghui still understands the principle of "don't expose wealth".

If you build a wooden house in a village, it will look like it stands out from the crowd.

It will inevitably cause some unnecessary trouble.

After all, Huang Tinghui and Wu Feilian will not stay in Huangjia Village for long.

A mud house is enough.

As for the money, you can save it to go to the city and buy a big house later.

If you can really achieve any fame.

It's not too late to "change a shotgun for a cannon" and replace this earth house with a wooden house.

"That's good, that's good!"

"After you start a family and start a business, you will eventually have your own house!"

"You're right!" The old patriarch looked at Huang Tinghui and smiled happily.

"Thanks to the care of the old patriarch." Huang Tinghui said at the right time.

"What I should do, these are what I should do!"

The old patriarch looked up at the energetic villagers and said to Huang Tinghui.

At this time, the villagers summoned by the old patriarch were working together and working together, and they were all busy.

Some of them were good at carpentry, so they cut down big trees and then used mortise and tenon structures to build the skeleton of the new house.

Some people are working on the foundation. If the foundation is solid, the house will not collapse easily.

This is a vital job.

As for the other group of people, they are making adobe bricks.

They first plowed some soil out of the fields, leveled it with rakes, and then soaked the soil in water.

Spread about five inches of straw on the soil as brick reinforcements to increase the strength of the bricks.

Some villagers led a few cows and circled them inside.

They called this process "refining" mud.

After the straw is "melted" evenly and the mud is "melted" so well that it won't fall off when picked up by hand, these villagers can start making bricks.

Huang Tinghui stood aside and watched these villagers, who had built many houses, doing these things skillfully.

For a while, I didn't even feel the cold, I just felt it was quite interesting.

After all, future generations will never see such a scene.

Especially building an adobe house like this.

I have to say that the saying “there is strength in numbers” is true.

If Huang Tinghui were left to tinker with it alone, he wouldn't know that he would have to tinker with it until the end of the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse.

With the full cooperation of everyone and the "wage" promise given by Huang Tinghui.

Some important parts were quickly assembled.

At this time, it was also quite dark.
