Chapter 58 Temporary wooden house

 With Old Man Hu's guarantee, Ziyu, an outsider, is no longer an expert.

The people in front of me were all dressed in coarse cloth and short brown clothes, and their bodies were not lacking in patches.

 It stands to reason that a family that has inherited craftsmanship and has a lot of labor will never be so poor that both young and old wear patched clothes.

Especially for Old Man Hu, who is an elder, it seems that Xin'an County is really extremely poor.

Everyone with some wealth must have moved away, and this will create a county where even the county magistrate has to rely on his own work to make ends meet.

“Old Hu, if you need any materials or help from workers, you can go to Butler Sheng.

 I only care whether the house can be built in two hours.

Ziyu did not leave even after giving instructions. She had not seen how the ancients built houses, so she had to take a look first.

"Let Cheng Yuanju raise it for you, don't make any noise." Ziyu held the stick in her hand and started to scare the grass in front of her.

“Cheng Yuanju, take it!” Ziyu handed the box to the person guarding the entrance of the cave.

“There are so many people on the construction site that you, a little guy, can’t stay outside well.

In the middle of the day, Ziyu looked around the built wooden house and looked at it carefully.

“Xiao Luo, why don’t you play with Cheng Yuanju and the others?”

Especially Chen Xiaoshan, he is much more courageous than when he first arrived home, and he speaks much more fluently.

 “Hello, Master!”

 The two little girls did not come with them, so they happened to bring the two boys with them.

 “Well done!” A fox-like smile appeared on Ziyu’s lips.

There are fifteen large and small ones. Ziyu did not expect that there would be so many things in the temporary residence.

 The floor inside the house is paved with a layer of freshly sawed wooden boards, with obvious polishing marks.

"That's good. As long as you take good care of the animals, it will be a great achievement." Ziyu nodded and walked forward.

   Well, building a house is out of the question now.

The children and grandchildren of the Hu family breathed a sigh of relief. The young master stayed here. They were under great pressure, for fear that if they couldn't do well, they would ruin the old man's job.

He lay on Ziyu's neck and said cutely: "Look for brother!"

“Master, give me the stick, Uncle Bao Jiu caught a little rabbit for us here.”

“I didn’t expect that a noble son would take care of his children like a commoner.”

“You guys stay outside and I’ll go in and get something.”

 There is a small wooden window that can be supported on the front, and sunlight shines into the wooden house through a gap **** wide.

Ziyu took Xiao Luo and pinched him on the face. The little guy covered his face and grinned.

"Master, I can do it!" the blushing boy said stubbornly.

Ziyu found a pile of luggage and rolls, which were all untouched boxes and rattan boxes that Mrs. Chen had packed back from Qingyang Mansion.

 “Go and get three sticks thick as arms and bring them up. Let’s go and have a look behind them.”

  A road has been dug out in the middle of Jiapigou, and there are also wheelbarrow ruts.

  With Chen Xiaoshan, each one is as weak as a chicken. What big things can he do in the future? "

“Cheng Yuanju, I’ll give you a difficult task: guard the box and don’t allow anyone to touch it.

In the dim cave, with the light from the cave entrance, you can vaguely see a gap between the goods placed for two people to pass.

 “Cheng Yuanju, Chen Xiaoshan follow.” Ziyu said without looking back.

Ziyu, who had blocked the entrance of the cave, ignored him and walked ahead with Xiao Luo on her back.

The little guy just woke up, his eyes were half-closed and he was still not quite awake. He yawned and stretched out his hand towards Ziyu.

“Back to the young master, there are few wild animals coming during the day, maybe they come at night.

As long as you do it well, you will be responsible for building houses in this area. Do you dare to accept it for ten taels of silver a month? "

Old man Hu personally ran to Butler Sheng to ask for people and materials. When he came up, he had a small bean sprout in his hand.

Through the valley mouth, what you can see is a three-foot wide ditch.

 The hillsides on both sides are mostly dominated by shrubs and weeds, and the trees start to become thicker as you go further.

 “Yes, Master!”

 “Brother, Gray Bunny is cute!”

 A newly dug shallow ditch by the lake leads to a shallow pit about a foot away from the valley. There are fresh animal footprints beside the shallow pit.

Ziyu's control over her servants was not strict, so that the two young boys no longer shrank in front of her.

Hearing the noise, Sheng Xueyi nervously raised his knife and turned around. When he saw that it was his young master, he put down the knife.

Ziyu followed the footsteps and found the cave. There were two rocks weighing about a hundred kilograms outside the dense fence.

The square house is one and a half feet long and five feet wide, with a three-foot-wide corridor under the eaves.

Moving a stone weighing more than a hundred kilograms is really not a big deal for Ziyu.

 “Lao Hu, you are busy!”

 Old man Hu, who woke up first, agreed immediately, secretly pleased that he was indeed the smartest.

Seeing this, Ziyu tied Xiao Luo to his back with a soft whip and said to the two boys behind him.

 “Yes!” Cheng Yuanju, who felt that he had lost face in front of the young master, responded loudly.

 My father said that he would add a fence gate and a few big rocks at the entrance of the valley at night. "

 “Brother, hug me!”

The foundation is half a person's height, the gaps between the logs are filled with Sanhe soil, and there is a wooden staircase at the entrance.

Cheng Yuanju cleverly handed over the thickest stick and revealed the origin of the little rabbit.

Two wooden houses for living, and a bathroom and toilet in the corner. "

 …

 Hung on wooden posts at regular intervals are self-made white paper notebooks, which record the daily shipments.

 Forget it, brother will take you to play in the back mountains! "

She put the fire box into the space, and when she walked out, she had a one-foot-square box wrapped in black cotton cloth in her hand.

Can it be done? "

 Let’s see if money will really fall from the sky!

“Dare you, there’s nothing I, Old Hu, can’t do to build a house. As long as the young master can give you an idea, I can build it.”

Cheng Yuanju lifted it with one hand, causing his small body to tilt and the embarrassed man's face to turn red.

 “Follow closely, don’t stay too far away!”

“Okay, it’s up to you.

 Nearly a year later, all the skills and strength from the previous life have returned to their original state.

"Do wild animals often come here to drink water?" Ziyu asked, thinking of the footprints beside the shallow pit.

“Hey, sir, go slowly, I promise to satisfy you!” Old Man Hu stood on the edge of the ground, watching the Ziyu brothers walking back, sighing.

“Lack of exercise, the first thing I do every morning is to carry a two-liter stone and run around Daxia Bay for half an hour.

Three mules and five calves were munching on the grass leisurely. Sheng Xueyi was holding a big knife and staring ahead warily.

Ziyu bent down and moved the two stones away one by one.

The place was in a mess, and there was a little guy with him, so Ziyu didn't want to look at it.

Ziyu took out a fire stick from the space and blew it, and found that the ground was covered with a wooden frame to isolate the air.

 It is absolutely inevitable to have a cigarette at home!

 …

Zi Yu's words shocked Old Man Hu, his grandson, and several of his legs to tremble, and the youngest Hu Quan even raised his head to look at the sky.

The gaps in the roof were the color of linoleum. Ziyu exited the wooden house to look at the roof.

The upper and lower layers of green leaves sandwiched a layer of Sanhe soil. This was the first time she had ever seen a roof made of mud.

 This method of building houses is not unique to a certain tribe in Africa!
