Chapter 149: Painting with bamboo charcoal

Nothing happened after that, and the onlookers all left with smiles on their faces.

They had to go back quickly to tell their families the good news.

It costs 20 cents a day, but the labor contractor in the town only earns 15 cents a day.

They just didn't ask how many people they need to work, so they have to go to the new company early tomorrow to sign up, otherwise others will take away this good thing.

Shen Yue and the others also took the opportunity to return to the house they are currently renting.

Shen Rong wanted to send Li Zheng back, but Li Zheng waved his hand and refused, then left humming an unknown ditty.

By the time Shen Yuyu and the others went back, Bai Yi had already eaten and left.

Those who stayed in the yard pulled out all the weeds in the yard and swept the dust in the house.

As soon as Mrs. Shen saw Shen Yuyu coming back, she pulled her over and asked anxiously: "Yuyu, why did someone come to ask about our recruitment just now?"

It turned out that just before Shen Yuhu and the others came back, those who got the news came to ask for the news.

I asked Mrs. Shen and the others, for the sake of the friendship they had just chatted outside the main entrance of Zhuli, to leave two seats for their family members.

But Mrs. Shen and the others didn't know about this, so they could only hesitantly reveal it.

I will see Shen Yuyu and others come back now, why don't I drag them and ask them.

Shen Yuyu told him about hiring people to build a house.

Old Mrs. Shen was a little worried about money. How much would it cost to build a house at twenty cents a day for one person?

Shen Ming also came over and said, "Xiao Gu, we can't build this house by ourselves. We have a large family, so it won't take long to build it."

After Chen Yun sent Mr. Zhang to the house, he said casually: "Your second uncle is right. Just build a house. Our family can do it ourselves. There is no need to find anyone else."

"Let's build my uncle's house together first, and then we can build ours together."

"We built our old house ourselves. It didn't take much trouble."

Everyone agreed with the two brothers' proposal.

Shen Yuyu saw that what they said was true, but he did not directly agree to it.

Since she bought two more houses, the house must be quite big.

There seemed to be a lot of people in their house, but most of them were old people, women and children, and there were only a few who could really contribute.

If you wait until they build a house, you won't even know how long it will be before you can live in it.

She said: "The New Year's Eve will be over in less than two months. Our own construction speed is too slow and we may not be able to catch up."

When Shen Yuyu said this, everyone hesitated again.

Because Li Zheng said when he left that this family would come back to live for a period of time every Chinese New Year, so they definitely couldn't continue to rent a house.

Mr. Shen didn't say anything for a long time, and finally made a decision: "You're right. In the first year of our arrival here, the house will be the first thing we build. We can't live without a house during the New Year."

"Eucalyptus bought two more pieces of vacant land next to that house. Together they are much larger than our previous house. We will discuss how to build this house later and then get ready."

Now that the matter was decided, they no longer struggled with it.

There are only six houses here, and just now everyone let Shen Yun and Xiao Zhang live in the smallest one.

Everyone still has to squeeze in to fit in the remaining five houses.

After a busy day and no meal, Mrs. Song and the others hurried into the kitchen to cook.

The rest of the people gathered around Shen Yuyu to discuss building a house.

Shen Yuyu took out a drawing of a new house. She had started preparing it a few days ago, and now it just came in handy.

Mr. Shen and Shen Ming all gathered around to watch.

Shen Ming looked at the drawings and asked in surprise: "Girl, you drew the drawings of this house?"

Shen Yuyu nodded and replied: "Well, I painted it while resting on the road these two days. Is there any problem?"

Shen Ming scratched his head and laughed twice: "No problem, I just think your painting is quite novel. What did you use to paint it?"

Shen Yuyu was stunned for a moment when asked, and suddenly remembered that people here still used brushes to draw, and this drawing of hers was drawn casually with bamboo charcoal.

"It was painted with the wood and bamboo charcoal we burned on the road."

Shen Rong took the drawing in his hand and said with some appreciation: "The drawing is good. Looking at it this way, it is more three-dimensional than the drawing with a brush."

Shen Yue smiled modestly. Can she say that she used bamboo charcoal because she was not used to using brushes for painting?

She changed the subject and said, "Then let's take a look at this drawing to see if there is anything that needs to be changed."

Everyone gathered together to discuss for a long time, and finally decided on the rough outline of the house, planning to start building it after buying the bricks and tiles.

There are only four of them in the Zhang family, and they don't need much room at the moment. After a brief discussion, they decided on the room type.

Then you need to go to the town to buy bricks and tiles.

Shen Yuyu found that the worst materials used by farmers here to build houses are mud and straw.

The slightly better ones use wood, and the other ones are blue bricks and clay tiles.

They can go up the mountain to find some wood, but they have to buy bricks and tiles.

You also need to go to the town to buy materials for glutinous rice mortar and rammed earth.

When Mrs. Song and the others had prepared the meal and brought it in, they happened to hear them discussing what ingredients they should buy in town.

She opened her mouth and wanted to just dig some soil from the mountain and build a house.

But after looking at the bright blue brick house in front of me, I immediately closed my mouth.

Both the girl and her man had their plans in mind. Since they agreed to buy it, they must have enough money, so she didn't interrupt.

Holding two bowls of noodles in her hand, she shouted to Shen Yuyu and others who were gathered together: "Hurry up and clear the table, the meal is ready."

Shen Yuhu and the others dispersed with a cheer, vacating the table.

Shen Rong also quickly took a bowl and put it on the table.

For lunch, we made braised noodles with poached eggs. This recipe was made by Mrs. Song according to Shen Yuyu’s instructions some time ago.

Shen Yuyu knew that he was not good at cooking, so he only told Mrs. Shen and the others the eating methods in his mind.

Everyone had a fried golden poached egg in their bowls. The noodles looked warm and misty, making them look delicious.

Everyone went to the kitchen to bring their own meals, and sat or stood around the main room, chatting and eating.
