Chapter 150: Make a fortune and become a salted fish
The items on the bullock cart have been unloaded and placed in various houses.
They didn't use the bedding left by the owner of the house. After packing it up and putting it in the cupboard, they put on the bedding they brought with them.
The bullock cart was mostly empty in one go.
After dinner, Shen Yuyu and the others planned to go to the town to inquire about the prices of bricks and terracotta tiles, which are used to build houses.
When this happened, the old men didn't go with them. They only asked the two brothers Shen Ming, Shen Chenyun and Zhang Xiangyang to accompany Shen Yuyu to the town.
Hearing that they were going to town, Hua Ling also wanted to go.
She is very curious about everything now, and she wants to take a look whenever she has the chance to go out.
Hua Nan frowned like a little adult and scolded: "Don't be ridiculous, Uncle Ming and the others are on business in town."
Hua Ling stopped, but still a little reluctantly.
Shen Yuyu glanced at her and comforted her: "I'm not going to town today just for fun. I'll take you with me next time I go to town."
Hua Ling pouted and had no choice but to agree.
But soon she said excitedly: "Please bring me a storybook. I want the kind of swordsman."
While she was on the way, she came across a martial arts storybook that Shen Dalang and the others packed in a book box.
She fell in love with it after reading it, but the book was too short. When Shen Yuhu went out, she wished she could bring back another one.
"good."
Shen Yuyu agreed, but in his heart he was thinking about when he would have time to enter the space to take out or compile the martial arts novels of later generations.
The stories of later generations are more interesting and newer than the stereotyped storybooks we have here today.
If you can sell it, it can be a way to get rich.
…
Shen Yuyu and the four of them got on the bullock cart and staggered out of the village, heading towards the town.
When the ox cart passed by the village, the villagers all greeted them with smiles, wanting to leave a good impression on them first.
The few people sitting on the shaft of the carriage driving the carriage also smiled back at them.
They are residents who have just come here, so naturally they are not as good as those who have lived here forever. It would be great if they could get along better with the people in the village.
After leaving the village, there were some muddy roads with scattered trees planted on both sides of the road.
The trees were not neatly arranged, and there were trees here and there, making them look particularly messy.
The cold wind blew loudly in the winter. Sitting in the carriage, Shen Yue felt the wind outside blowing through the curtains and blowing in. However, Shen Ming and the others sat on the carriage shaft outside chatting happily, as if they were not affected. .
Shen Yuxi opened the curtain and called out: "Second uncle, come in and sit down."
The cabin space outside is quite large and can accommodate three grown men.
Shen Ming, Shen Yun and Zhang Xiangyang waved their hands indifferently and said: "Hey, this little wind is nothing compared to where we were before, but it's still refreshing."
Seeing that they really didn't look very cold, Shen Yuhu had no choice but to get back behind the curtain and start thinking about building a house.
They have already totaled the materials needed to build the house, and they can start shipping them back tomorrow after asking about the price.
She thought that in this era there was no cement yet, and all that was used to bond walls was glutinous rice mortar.
Shen Yuyu thought about the method of making cement in his previous life, and felt that it would not be possible in a short time.
However, she can still take time to go to the weapons room in the space to see if there are any useful things or materials.
You can get rich in a small way here, and then you can live like a salted fish.
While thinking about it, the ox cart slowly drove into Qingyan Town.
It was already afternoon, not as lively as in the morning, but there was still no shortage of pedestrians coming and going in the town.
Shen Ming sat on the bullock cart and asked for directions, then headed towards the place where bricks and tiles were sold.
On the edge of Qingyan Town, they found the shop selling bricks and tiles. Only a part of the samples were displayed in the shop.
Shen Ming and the others also asked about the price. Blue bricks cost three cents a piece, and clay tiles cost two cents five. As for lime and the like, they also sold them, but they had to sell them by the pound.
The shop not only has blue bricks and pottery tiles, but also second-class defective products, which are relatively cheaper.
However, Shen Yuhu and the others still chose green bricks with better quality.
Before coming here, they had already discussed the approximate quantity and asked the shopkeeper directly for a sufficient amount of bricks, tiles and lime.
By the time they finished their conversation with the shopkeeper, it was getting dark and the strong wind outside was blowing louder.
After paying the deposit, Shen Yue and the others left quickly.
As for the bricks and tiles, the first batch of bricks and tiles will be delivered to your door tomorrow, but it will cost an extra twenty cents for each truck delivered to your door.
Returning the way they came, the four of them faced the cold wind and returned to Longbit Village.
Smoke was rising from the chimney in the sky above the courtyard where the Shen family currently lived.
Chen Yun jumped down from the carriage and knocked on the door. The door immediately opened from the inside.
Shen Yue also jumped out of the carriage.
The person who opened the door was Xiao Zhang, standing in front of the door with a big belly.
Chen Yun's heart trembled when he saw her standing there with such a big belly. He quickly stepped forward and supported little Zhang through her clothes.
Chen Yun said strangely: "Why did you come out at this late hour? Just ask Xiao Liu and the others to open the door. Come in quickly."
Little Zhang greeted the outside with a smile: "Second brother, Brother Xiangyang, Brother Xiangyang, come in quickly."
Shen Yun helped her go inside, and then she said with a smile: "I have been in bed all day, and my body has become soft. I just wanted to go out for a walk, and I just heard your knock on the door."
Several children were playing games in the yard, which was very lively.
People in the house and kitchen heard the sound and came out.
Mrs. Shen wiped the water on her hands and asked, "How are you doing? Are you settled?"
There are three people cooking at home: Mrs. Song, Mrs. Zhao and Ding Hehua. Song Xiaoni can also help out occasionally, and even Hua Ling will join in the fun and help out.
But Mrs. Shen couldn't sit still, so she went to the kitchen to help wash the vegetables.
When they heard that Shen Yuyu and the others were back, they all came out.
Several people braved the frost and walked in the door, answering everyone's questions one by one.
Shen Yuyu continued: "The first batch of bricks should be brought over tomorrow, and we can start construction once we hire people."
Everyone thinks that after building a house, they can live in a new house, and they are very happy.
Ding Hehua said with a smile: "What the girl said is that if we start the construction earlier, we can move in earlier. This house is quite expensive to rent."
One tael of silver was gone after ten days' stay. They didn't say it, but they still felt very distressed in their hearts.
So they all hope that their houses will be built as soon as possible so that they can settle down here.
