The two of them strolled back, and Yan Laoer prepared to cook today.
Aunt Rong worked too hard, so he helped to some extent to share some of the burden.
We must have fish in the evening. Yan Laoer thought about it for a while and saw that there were a lot of vegetables in the kitchen, so he decided to make a fish pot.
Yan Yu found a seat and squatted aside.
After watching for a while, he saw that his father was about to cook firewood rice, so he got up and ran out.
See no one around.
He carried a few pieces of wood that seemed heavy but light, picked up the ax beside him, and stepped on the wooden piers on the ground.
Pretty solid.
Arrange the wood, align it, swing the ax, click, and hit the right spot, right in the middle.
After the ax sank a little, Yan Yu raised his hand and struck again.
Crack!
The wood is divided into two halves.
She mastered the rhythm of the second section very well. Click-click-click, she chopped several pieces of wood into a shape suitable for the stove.
Carry the firewood into the kitchen in several batches and pile it in the place where Grandma Rong is used to stacking firewood.
Yan Laoer looked away, feeling heartbroken every time he looked at it.
Dali’s daughter, do you eat spinach?
Yan Yu was unaware and was still helping to light the fire.
She now knows how to add and draw firewood to control the size of the fire.
Even Yan Laoer had to admit that his daughter's learning ability was quite strong.
"Is this stove connected to the kang over there? How about it? Is it easy to cook?" Yan Laoer asked while picking the fish bones.
"Okay, it's hot from the end of the kang to the end of the kang. Master Lu and his colleagues are really good at their craftsmanship." Yan Yu praised sincerely.
"The work is fast and neat. I could only cook two families' kangs in one night. Now that I'm familiar with the work, and people in our village have seen a lot, and know how to cooperate and help, I can cook three families in one night."
Yan Laoer: "At this rate, all Kangs in our village will be completed, and our house will be completed at the same time."
"By the way, dad, our house still lacks a few kang cabinets, kang tables, and floor-to-ceiling wardrobes." Yan Yu counted on her fingers.
"We left a big hole in the window for good view and ventilation. Whether it's made of wood or has a wooden frame, we have to plug that hole. There's also a door. Let's see if there should be a large desk in the kitchen.
Furthermore, our roof, Master Lu, said it is called the top of the mountain. This way it will be difficult to accumulate snow, and the snow will slide down the roofs on both sides. It looks nice outside, but dad, if you look up, you can clearly see the wood of the beams.
.
Master Lu said that if we need it, he can give us a layer of board, which is good-looking, warm, and can also store some things on it, but... it's easy to attract rats."
Yan Laoer looked up and saw the beams clearly visible.
"Then let's do it. Hanging the ceiling is equivalent to having a two-story attic, which is quite practical.
What are rats afraid of? We have cats at home. If any rat dares to come, call it and it will never come back.
Doors, windows, tables, etc... It seems that your uncle Qi Wu must go back to his old business and no longer be busy making charcoal.
Looking back, if the charcoal is still easy to sell, we will find two people in the village to help."
Yan Yu could not agree anymore.
"But Dad, my fifth uncle, Qi Wu, can't do it alone. Our family has to make furniture, and he has to make it himself. When people in the village see it, they all have to follow suit... and he has to be assigned two workers."
"Hey! It makes sense when you say that. Your uncle Qi Wu has become a master, haha!" Yan Laoer was overjoyed.
After laughing for a while, he shook his head and said: "You think everyone is as open-minded as our family. Your uncle Qi Wu is working as a coffin maker. People in the village care about this and are afraid they won't use him."
"Those are all from the old calendar." Yan Yu disagreed with him: "When we come to Guanzhou, it's a new beginning. Uncle Qi Wu doesn't make coffins now, nor does he go in and out of the coffin shop. I think the people in the village are now the same as the Qi family.
There are more contacts, and it’s much better than before. When our family finishes making the furniture, you’ll see if they can find Uncle Qi.”
There is a carpenter who can do the job at the doorstep of his house. Uncle Qi Wu is so down-to-earth that he cannot charge a high price. He is nearby and cheap. No one wants to work with him. He is afraid that he will not be able to get a job.
You and I talk to each other, and it seems like we have endless things to talk about together.
Grandma Rong came and left.
I found a jar of chive flowers and sent it over.
Yan Laoer was pleasantly surprised.
"You even pickled this? It's just right for eating in a pot."
Yan Yu: "Mama Rong has pickled a lot of side dishes, and she also mentioned to me that we lack jars and jars at home..."
Yan Laoer replied with all his heart: "Okay, okay, I'll go to the town to buy it tomorrow."
…
There was some chili pepper in the fish pot for dinner, and Master Lu and others were so addicted to it that they were all sweaty.
Dong Dong Dong drank several large bowls of water.
After you have eaten and drank enough, you go to work for the person whose turn it is.
After eating, people came to the big stone one after another.
The exciting time has arrived!
Send money!
As soon as it was darkened, Village Chief Luo lit the torch.
Illuminating the area around the big rock brightly.
Yan Laoer took the small square table at home and placed it on the big stone.
Yan Yu climbed up and poured out all the broken silver and copper coins in his backpack.
Wow!
To everyone, this is the best sound in the world.
Everyone's face is filled with smiles.
Happy from the inside out.
There were two whole strings of copper coins, and there were also scattered copper coins. The actual number was more than what the Huju City government office had settled.
Yan Yu specially prepared more. If anyone wanted silver, he would give it. If he wanted copper coins, he would give copper coins.
When you have money, you are so willful.
"Feng Nian, take out the account you keep every day." Yan Laoer said.
Liang Fengnian squeezed to the front and took out the account book from his bag.
Everyone is familiar with this book, and their daily work points are recorded in this book.
Yan Laoer took it, turned it over, and said: "You all know how many work points you record every day. This time we sent Huju eight bags of medicine. We will only count the cost of these eight bags, which is what we paid for the first three days."
of work points.
Let me explain here that the herbal medicines that everyone sent to Cui Langzhong are very mixed. There are all kinds of medicines. Some of the herbal medicines take a long time to prepare, so I won’t send them out this time.
Don't worry, everyone. If you feel that your work points, how much has been exchanged, and how much has been sold are different from what you remember, you can wait until the money has been distributed before talking to me, so as not to delay everyone's distribution of money and make people panic.
Don't be afraid if you make mistakes. We have written down the accounts, checked them carefully, and thought about them seriously. We will definitely be able to figure it out.
If there are no problems, I will read your work points first, and then pay them in this order."
The impatient ones shouted: "We have nothing to ask, we are just waiting for the money to be distributed!"
"Hurry up and read the work points! If you keep talking for a while, I should have forgotten how many work points I have. It's hard to calculate at home!"
A bunch of people burst into laughter.
Yan Laoer also laughed and began to read the names and corresponding work points loudly.
Everyone held their breath and listened attentively. No one spoke again, for fear of missing their names and names.
Yan Laoer started calling names.
I can't wait for the first one.
It's Yan Yu himself.
That's right, the work points are recorded based on the time it takes to deliver the medicine to Dr. Cui.
The first one in line is the Boy Scout.
The person who received the money was undoubtedly the leader of the Boy Scouts - Yan Xiaoer.
