Men and women eating in the courtyard

After hearing that Li Xuewu said that we should start with the children, several people were a little unable to turn around.

The second child asked with some doubts: "What can a child have?"

Li Xuewu glanced at the second child and said: "Usually when you collect waste, the adults are at work and only the children are at home. Who do you think can sell your waste?"

The second child spread his hands and said, "Children don't recognize money."

Li Xuewu smiled mysteriously: "There are no tickets for firecrackers from the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, no tickets for the little people's books from Xinhua Bookstore, no tickets for pig trotters, pig tails, and pig waste from the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, 2 cents a pound, and cigarettes that cost less than 50 cents. No votes needed”

These words seemed to open a door for a few people and see a new world.

Wen San'er murmured: "You can trade firecrackers and little books with children for scraps. You can trade pig trotters and pig offal for scraps with old men and wives. You can trade free cigarettes with young people for scraps." , except for the men in the family, basically all of them were caught in one fell swoop.”

Li Xuewu said "Hey" and said: "The head of the family has been working all day, and he still has to sell scraps when he comes home? Then shouldn't the wife and children be beaten up?"

Hahahahaha!

Everyone smiled, and Wen San'er no longer looked sad. As long as he was given some guidance, this guy could open up a Silk Road for you.

The eldest grandma was sitting by the kang, holding a pipe in her mouth and said: "It's convenient to have a pot at home, and it's also convenient to take care of children's waste. I'll exchange these for tickets at home."

Li Xuewu saw that several people were thinking in this direction, and gave him a reminder: "Our customer base is still small now, so we still have to wait for the pickled goods, but the candy balls and little people's books that are easy to preserve can be made first." Let’s test the waters”

Wen San'er said at the right time: "Then those who have braised the braised food will have to pay extra!"

The eldest grandma said with a "haha" smile: "Tomorrow you go to the supply and marketing cooperative to get some firecrackers and candy balls for me, and I can change them at home."

Li Xuewu said to Lao Biaozi: "When the time comes, we will go to Director Ma about this matter. From now on, we will collect all the auxiliary meat from the supply and marketing cooperative. The ones with bones will be boiled and frozen directly and replaced at home. The offal without bones will be marinated. I put them in jars and sold them. I put the last remaining vegetables and wine in the east room warehouse. In the future, you can use braised food and wine to exchange for tatters when you go out, or you can exchange them for tickets, but pay attention to hygiene."

Li Xuewu took advantage of the nights of the past few days to clear out all the goods in the space and pile them all in the warehouse in the east room for the convenience of shipment.

For safety reasons, all the doors and windows have been boarded up, and only the door facing the sleeping room can be entered and exited.

Wen San'er knew what was in the warehouse and asked quietly: "Is there anything else in the warehouse over the railway?"

Li Xuewu knew that he was asking where he had brought it back from, so he put out the cigarette butt, shook his head and said, "No more. Except for the ones I use, they are all here."

When Wen Saner went to visit the warehouse yesterday, he was shocked by the piles of rice and white flour, not to mention the piles of potatoes, cabbage, and radishes.

Li Xuewu knocked on the table and said: "If you want to collect the eggs, just go down and collect them on a tricycle. We go there once every Saturday. We have set a time with the agent. No one on the four tricycles will pay attention to you. Let us know when we find them." Purchased for purchasing station”

Wen Saner nodded and said: "I understand, these customers can't let go for too long, they have to keep up."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "I'll just use rice and white flour. If you want radish, cabbage, and potatoes, I'll also send out some. I guess the letters from the Northeast won't come until after the new year, so we have to make preparations early."

Wen Saner whispered: "We still have more than four thousand yuan in hand. We spent some on repairing the house and tricycles, and the four of us used some on buying clothes."

Li Xuewu clicked on the account book and said: "It's all recorded in the account. I don't worry about your food and clothing. It's all recorded in it so that the accounts can be settled later."

Li Xuewu has been using the money given by the Xiao family to build his own house and do things. The money from the last sale of pears has been paid into his account.

When they saw that they had finished talking, they no longer talked about this. Instead, they gathered together to discuss which area was easy to walk in today, which area had people selling things, and which area had other scrap collection depots.

Li Xuewu ignored them. Now the team has slowly learned to develop on its own. It only needs guidance from time to time. Now it's just waiting for Master Dou to come and finalize the matter of the backyard house.

At about 7:30 in the evening, Master Dou came with a small box on his back, but he didn't even let the second child give him water.

"Okay, stop working. I drank some water at home. Let's go see the house first, and then you can give us your opinion. Let's make a decision now. I'll start the construction work tomorrow."

Master Dou has made a fortune this year. Winter is the hardest time to get work, which is to earn some money by beating furniture, but he never expected to meet a big customer.

When Li Xuewu saw that Master Dou was interested, he was no longer polite and took him to the backyard. Everyone he met on the road knew Master Dou who had been working here for several days, and they didn't ask anything.

After entering the backyard, Master Dou first looked at the structure of the house, then walked around, and then followed Li Xuewu into the house.

The Xu family's house has three wing rooms, which is considered a good location. It faces east and receives more sunlight than the second uncle's house.

Li Xuewu stood in the living room and pointed to the kitchen and storage room in the north and said: "Divide the north house into three parts. The east and west should be in the ratio of two from west to three from east, and the ratio from north to south should be from north to two to south. The stove in the northeast corner of the house should be built to the north. The table and cabinets will be made, and then the wall cabinets will be made. The stove will be connected to the bathtub in the bathroom on the west side. The tap water in this house will be rerouted in the house."

He walked to the kitchen and pointed to the door and said: "It's windy in winter, and it's not private when opening the door in summer. Install a porch at the door, open to the north inside, and enter the house in a Z-shape."

"The bathroom is made of a bathtub, squat toilet and sink. You can decide on the materials. If you really can't find it, just tell me."

"There is a stove built in the living room against the wall of the south room, and it is connected to the fire kang in the south room."

"Hang the roof again, repair the loose windows, just a few jobs. Can you see if you can do it?"

Master Dou took out a ruler and asked Li Xuewu to help him measure the dimensions, write something in the book, and finally said: "It's simple. All you need to do is to build walls and build a kang, build a stove and build a stove, and install drainage and running water in the bathroom." Changing the route will take some time, but those of us can finish it in two days."

Seeing Li Xuewu nodding, Master Dou complained a little: "I thought it was such a big job, but this room is not enough for 20 people."

Li Xuewu handed him a cigarette and said: "It's not like tearing it down and rebuilding it. It's okay if there are more people. The house in the backyard must be built quickly. It's urgent to use it."

Master Dou nodded and said: "Don't worry, there are 20 people, four front rooms, two warehouses, and a warm warehouse. Now that there are more people, the construction period can be shortened, and it can be completed before New Year's Day."
