Smallholder Farmer

Chapter 9 Everyone gathers firewood and the flames rise

The braised large intestine made by my aunt is very popular! Not to mention the stir-fried pork liver and pork loin, the pork belly is also braised in the large intestine, the oil is full, and the other vegetables are cabbage and radish brought by various families!

This season, you want other dishes, but you haven't grown up yet! Everyone didn't expect that Yan Wazi's family could serve such oily dishes to their guests! It's a full meal! This is the big iron pot that I bought to cook pig food in the future, and there are two full pots of rice with mixed grains! There is not enough to eat, and the braised intestines are packed in two wooden barrels for fetching water, and they are all gone! No way, I couldn't afford meat anyway, so everyone didn't take it seriously, and, why is this intestine so delicious! Nobody has an opinion! Also happy to eat! To be honest, there is no such heavy oil and water in everyone's house!

The next day is the oil residue from oil refining, mixed with sauerkraut from Aunt Seven's house! Packed with a bunch of Erhe buns! It was still Aunt Six who went to the Butcher Chen’s house in the village (her house is next door to the Chen family’s business.) The second set of offal she ordered cost only four Wen in total! Chen Butcher said, this Yan Wazi's family built a house, and for Boss Fan's sake, he would come to help him whatever he said, but he couldn't get rid of the work at hand, so it was cheaper, so it was a contribution! Guaranteed, two sets of internal organs every day!

Usually, people in the village always feel that the large intestine smells like pig feces after washing. Under Yueer's guidance, my aunt made a lot of tricks! The gang of big men who helped out had a lot of fun! It is also fragrant when it is stewed with soybeans, and it is crispy and fragrant when it is fried! How to eat, how delicious!

This is good food! There is enough oil and water, and you are willing to work hard! Yuyue's family can also afford it, so everyone can eat comfortably and feel at ease! Everyone is really happy, Yuyue compares scissorhands in her heart very rusticly! Win-win!

It took only five days. The foundation of the yard was dug, the bluestone was laid, and the yard was closed. The patriarch knew some Feng Shui, so he turned around with a compass for a long time. On the road near the town, he drove from north to south. After opening a courtyard gate, naturally two small inverted seats should be built according to the rules. The courtyard gate is also very formal, so a porch must be built! (The gatehouse) also took stones to lay the foundation one by one!

The footing of this yard is waiting to be dry! After it dries, the soil wall can be rammed. Naturally, the big guy went to repair the house first!

The floors, door frames, windows, etc. used to repair the house are all pine wood cut from the Dahan Mountain. The wood just cut from the mountain is still wet, so naturally it cannot be used. The wood from the house was exchanged for Mr. Fan's use! His family was planning to build a house, but the third cousin's marriage couldn't be discussed, so he will come to the house in half a year and a year (in time), so he will naturally change it! Everyone piled up the new wood that was cut down to the second uncle's house, and moved the dry wood over!

This situation made Yuyue adore her father whose life or death is unknown. This man's life and death are unknown. All the old and young in the village count as one. They always look at him and stretch out their hands. Help my brother and sister! Oh, good man! Although I can't remember the appearance! Is it true that good people don't live long? Yuyue muttered in her heart!

The house needs some adobe bricks, a chicken coop, a pigsty, and a lot. There are a few uncles who started making adobe bricks five days ago, and the people who came to help build houses in their own houses. I also picked a lot of the rest, anyway, I don’t need it at home for a while, and I will do it when I have time in the future, and it will be a matter of three to five days! Seeing that chicken coops were needed, but not enough, he arranged for more than a dozen people to continue making earthen bricks. Zhen Erwa took the lead and found a place, went over to make earthen bricks, mixed with crushed straw, and made one piece after another. Adobe! Basking in the sun! After two days in the sun, it will be completely dry! These bricks are enough to build chicken pens and pig pen toilets beside the courtyard wall!

Others went to clean up the foundation. The patriarch, grandma, and other adults took a look at how the house was built. They knocked down the walls of the dilapidated house and cleaned them up. Only then did they realize that the ground of the main house was actually After the blue bricks were laid, the patriarch was very happy, and immediately arranged for people to ram the ground! Shovel away the floating soil, and someone else will start to ram the wall! The main wall still needs to be rammed. Such a house is warm in winter and cool in summer!

In the village, the mud used for ramming houses is usually made of sandy soil with straw, brown sugar water, lime and glutinous rice pulp, so that the strength is good, but this is obviously a bit unrealistic!

Yuyue and her elder brother stood by the side, listening to the grandma and the patriarch's words, they made a decision. Add straw, lime, and a small amount of glutinous rice milk. A wall with lime will not grow worms! I don't know what theory it is! The two of them spoke lightly and were not allowed to express their opinions! In front of the elders, the two did not have a chance to speak!

Yuyue discussed with her brother, and also asked her aunt what she meant. They all thought that it would be enough to build up the three rooms of the main house! Three people, on average, one room per person, enough! The side is left with a foundation, and I will make money in the future, and then use blue bricks to build it. What is the use of building so many houses now? The point is, Yuyue doesn't care about this house with earthen walls, and is ready to earn a lot of money to build a good yard! In the village, more than half of them are tile-roofed houses made of blue bricks, and even worse ones are made of red bricks. To be honest, there are very few houses with earthen walls! However, there is no way, is it? That's the condition now! It doesn't matter, Jin Yan had no choice but to represent his family and tell the patriarch what he meant!

"Grandpa patriarch, we have few people now, we don't need these houses, and besides, we have little money!"

The patriarch and grandma heard it, and it was right to think about it! These three rooms are not small, enough for three people to live in! In this way, after building a tile-roofed house, there is still money left! The patriarch doesn't want to come to help the two brothers and sisters change the roof again in three or two years! Although he said he wanted to, but there were so many ways to live in each house, how could he possibly find a manpower! The immediate straw is not enough!

In the village, everyone knows who has any skills. Ramming a wall is a labor of strength, and it is a skill job. Naturally, this wall ramming is Fan Lao Si in the second room. No one dares to recognize the first! The wall of the old house has collapsed, but the mud is still mixed with new mud and remixed to save a lot of trouble! There is no need to wait for the foundation to dry. It is the old foundation. The patriarch sent someone to fetch the tools of the clan. Screen, prepare the ash pool and mud pool, and you are ready to start!

Everyone quickly mixed the mud and started the construction. In fact, the time is very tight, so we should do it urgently. Once the rain comes, it will really be impossible to do it when it rains! The work in the field has also begun to increase, and the seedlings have been raised, and they have to be planted! The wheat is growing vigorously, there is no time to delay!

Everyone is a skilled worker, mixing mud, passing mud, receiving mud, ramming earth, and working in full swing!

While talking, this is fast! In less than three days, three pairs of tamping boards and three rooms were rammed. They took earth bricks and sealed the side walls. Anyway, Yuyue couldn't understand how the uncles did it. Seeing that the walls of the whole house were raised high , with corrugated and wooden eaves, it looks like a beautiful roll-up roof. The tall room, as expected, also made an attic, which is convenient for stacking food and so on!

It may be that the aesthetic standards are different. The local grandma is not used to looking left and right. The yard is too big, and a large circle of stone foundations can be seen clearly from a distance! The house seems too simple, think about it, this big yard of nearly three acres, a three-room house, still crooked at the corner, doesn't it look monotonous!

The grandma was in a hurry, so she said it: "Patriarch! No matter how you look at this house, it looks a bit simple?"

The patriarch and all the people who were looking around suddenly realized that they laughed, that is to say, I always felt a little strange, and it didn’t look right, so they all laughed, and the soil was easy to get, so I simply didn’t do it. Incessantly, I decided to tamp up the old small square courtyard, and the wall foundation of the old courtyard is still there. In this way, this courtyard has two courtyard walls inside and outside, and the inner wall should not be too high. look! It was higher than the parapet wall, so Fan Laosi pulled up the plank, mixed it with mud, and personally led people to ram the inner courtyard wall! This wall should be leveled! Don't look uncomfortable!

And some people went to ram the outer courtyard wall, and the foundation of the wall that was built first can be rammed! This is simpler, as long as two people are about the same height, and there is no requirement for an absolute level, it is a good opportunity for some uncles and brothers who are learning the craft to practice! It still looks close to the mountain, but to guard against wild animals, in fact, every household in the village is generally only as tall as one person!

In this way, the inner and outer courtyards slowly took shape, and it looks a bit like this! It's not that the yard is not the yard, and the house is not the house! A few people continued to level the house, plastered it, and finally painted lime! There are also stoves and kangs! Everyone is busy! The patriarch looked around, he was more careful than building the house himself!

Gradually, I watched the yard take shape! Blue tiles and white walls! The walls of this courtyard are covered with thatched roofs, and the walls are also covered with a layer of white lime, which is not very smooth, and the white mud has not been plastered. Most of the courtyard walls in the village are like this, and it is not because others rush to work! Yuyue looked at it, and liked it very much in her heart, it has a farm flavor! This earth-walled house is warm in winter and cool in summer, very suitable for people to live in! My heart is full of happiness, and I completely forget the depression of being kicked out of the house!
