Chapter 317 Building a house, making sauce, shopping
Wu Aizhen was very upset when she heard what Meng Yao said, but she also felt that this was not the right thing to do. She smacked her lips and muttered: "I'm not jealous of you, I just want to make money before I sell it!"
"Sister-in-law, you are really short-sighted. You could sell a jar for more than a hundred yuan, but you sold it for five yuan. You are really good at it!"
Wu Aizhen: "..." Stop talking, she is so heartbroken that she can no longer breathe.
"Sister-in-law, we have separated now. Can you tell the difference between my things and ours? For example, if I give food to my mother, please don't read more until my mother and I agree.
One look!”
After Meng Yao finished speaking, he turned around and took the lunch box into his hand.
Liu Cuihua also stood up, slapping the dirt off her body with a towel, and sighed faintly.
"You don't have to worry about things at home. Just go back to town. If you can't sell the pancakes and fruits for the time being, think about starting a business first. Our Yaoyao's craftsmanship is so good, no matter what she does, she will definitely be very popular!"
Liu Cuihua had a tired look on her face, and she saw the sun shining on Meng Yao's face, making her face turn yellow with a hint of red.
He originally stretched out his hand to wipe her sweat, but noticed that his hands were dirty and stretched them back.
"It's too hot in the sun. Remember to wear a hat when you go out in the future. Be careful of getting tanned!"
Meng Yao showed her sharp cat claws in front of Wu Aizhen, but in front of Liu Cuihua, she was a well-behaved little girl who responded to everything she said.
When talking about going to town, Meng Yao wanted Liu Cuihua to take the car, but Liu Cuihua was still busy and declined to go in the afternoon.
Meng Yao couldn't persuade her, so he just let her do it.
Liu Cuihua went to work, but Wu Aizhen was still standing beside her, not knowing what she wanted to do. Meng Yao ignored her and left.
Wu Aizhen said "Hey" twice behind her, but did not stop Meng Yao. She couldn't help but look at the lunch box in her hand.
By the way, can she buy it with money?
She hadn't eaten the food cooked by Meng Yao in the past two days, so she was panicking!
Meng Yao put the remaining food that Liu Cuihua had not finished on the table in her room.
There were Qi Wenye's books on the table, which were left unpacked. Meng Yao simply tidied them up.
It was a book that Teacher Kong gave to Qi Wenye. She had brought it back with him at the beginning. Meng Yao's lips curved when she saw the traces of Qi Wenye's reading and the questions on the book.
After all, this kid doesn't have a white education.
Perhaps because Qi Wenye and Liu Cuihua were different from what was written in the book, she was particularly lenient with Wu Aizhen and Qi Mingan.
But now, she is disappointed.
Meng Yao put away his things, walked out with an empty lunch box, and went to the village entrance with Jiang Wenlei to look at the measured land.
The land I bought has two acres. I can build a house in the front and grow some vegetables in the back.
The grain harvest had just finished on this land, and before it had time to be plowed, it had already been leveled by people who came to build houses.
In this era, it was more common to buy land and build houses. Land was easy to demarcate, and controls on what to do with the land were not so strict.
Unlike a few years later, the government had stricter control over farmland and did not allow damage to farmland.
Jiang Wenlei said a few words to the person in charge and then returned to Meng Yao.
The bricks and cement hauled in arrived one after another inland for three days. Although it rained, the ground was not that dry and the foundation could be laid.
"If the weather is good, it will be completed in less than a month!"
Meng Yao nodded and asked again about money for workers and money for buying construction materials. Jiang Wenlei replied that Qi Boyan had already arranged these things, so Meng Yao stopped asking.
The only problem is that the workers are responsible for the food, building the houses and taking care of the food. This has always been the tradition.
Meng Yao immediately thought of Xian Boring. Liu Yishou, who was practicing in Uncle Hu's kitchen, patted his chest and said, "Leave this to me!"
Back in town, Meng Yao immediately told Liu Yishou about the incident. As long as he staggered the cooking time with Uncle Hu, there would be no problem.
As for Uncle Hu, it is even easier to say that if Meng Yao wants to cook for his godmother, he will naturally have his share.
After the matter was settled, Meng Yao got into Uncle Hu's kitchen and started making sauce.
Liu Yishou was in the kitchen when he heard that Meng Yao was making sauce for pancakes and fruit, so he went out. He understood that it involved business secrets.
After a while, it was afternoon.
Meng Yao finished the work at hand and went to find the old man without stopping.
The uncle has been waiting there for a long time. Originally, after Meng Yao bought it, there wasn't much. After it was bought, there was no business left, so he had to wait here for several hours.
Meng Yao brought some snacks and water when he came over, but he saw that the uncle's mouth was dry.
Thinking that he should wait here all the time, without eating or drinking, I gave him a few snacks.
The uncle finally refused, but Meng Yao insisted that he made it himself and it was not worth much, so he accepted it.
The uncle had a cup, but he had finished drinking the water in it. There was no place to put the water, so Meng Yao made an extra trip and went back to help him pour a cup of hot water.
After a little delay, I finally got in the car.
The uncle was initially cautious when accepting Meng Yao's snacks, but became even more cautious after getting in the car.
There are cars in this era. In the eyes of rural people, tricycles or bicycles are considered relatively wealthy families, let alone cars.
Meng Yao patiently talked to the uncle, chatting with him about some trivial matters at home, and slowly opened up the topic. The uncle finally became less reserved.
The uncle’s family has three sons and four daughters. In this era, it is normal to have many children.
The son and daughter are already married. The old couple can still support themselves and do not live with their son and daughter-in-law.
The uncle lives 30 to 40 kilometers away from the town. With such a long distance and more than five hours of walking every day, you can imagine that the uncle has very good legs and feet.
The uncle said that his legs were stiff from walking every day.
The uncle is not in this county, but in the neighboring city.
After passing the town, keep heading north.
However, although it is at the municipal level, it is also located at a remote junction and is a no-no-no zone.
The road here is quite bad. Although there is an asphalt road, it is full of potholes, especially since it just rained. There is still water in the potholes that has not dried up. Even though I drive and walk slowly.
Meng Yao originally estimated that he would arrive in an hour, but it took him an hour and a half.
When we arrived at the uncle’s village, we finally saw the mountains.
Hills, several hills.
Although he was used to seeing long mountains, Meng Yao was embarrassed when he saw a small mountain of only five or six meters.
I have never been in a car, and luckily I didn't get motion sickness when I sat in it. However, after sitting for a long time, my posture became stiff, and when I got off, my legs and feet felt less flexible.
"Our mountain has always been taken care of, so even if the trees are lush and lush, you can go up. My dear, if you want to go up and have a look, find a stick later and I will take you up, so that you, little girl, will not run into other people.
Snakes, scorpions and so on!”
Meng Yao is not afraid of snakes and scorpions. Not only is she not afraid, she also cooks delicious food. But regardless of whether she goes to the mountain or not, her main purpose of coming today is to buy walnuts and hawthorns.
