Farming Food Tycoon - Chapter 87

Yu Qingze and Le Ge’er sat for a while, and then went to prepare breakfast after washing.

When the sky was bright, every household started burning firecrackers to welcome the Chinese New Year. Yu Qingze also lit firecrackers at the entrance of the courtyard to welcome the new year.

As soon as the firecrackers were lit, Chang Hao and Jia Bao got up and ran to the door to see. Chang Hao still regretted getting up so late that he didn’t get the firecrackers.

After they finished watching the firecrackers, Chang Le took out the new cotton shoes made last night and handed them to Jiabao for him to replace them.

“Thank you, Brother Chang Le.” Jiabao’s nose was red, and he looked at his shoes for a while, reluctant to wear them.

Brother Le patted him on the shoulder, and gestured for no thanks.

“Brother Jiabao, change it quickly.” Chang Hao urged him.

“Yeah.” Jiabao put it on, and after putting it on, he admired it back and forth, with a happy smile on his face.

Before breakfast, the four juniors took turns to pay New Year greetings to Grandpa Chang.

Grandpa Chang sat on the chair, very happy, and then very generously gave each of them a couple of silver coins.

Chang Hao took the silver and laughed. In previous years, his grandfather only meant to give two pennies to the new year’s money. This year is so much! One or two!

But he also had a hand addiction. After breakfast, he put the money away from his brother. Going out for New Year’s greetings later, don’t lose it, otherwise, he will be heartbroken to death.

At about the same time, Le Geer put the melon seeds, peanuts, roasted seeds and raisins used to entertain guests on the table, and waited for someone to give Grandpa Chang a New Year greeting. Then he went out with Yu Qingze and the others.

On New Year’s Day every year, relatives are not visited, and they all walk around the village to celebrate the New Year. On the second day of the second year, I started to go out with relatives again.

Brother Le and the others all went to the family elders and elders’ homes for a New Year’s greetings, and then they went to the village elders and other villagers’ homes one by one to worship together with other clansmen of the Chang surname.

Over there, the younger generations of Yu’s surname are similar to them.

This morning, the whole village was in a lively New Year’s greetings, and people’s smiling faces and kowtows were everywhere. The children are eating with their mouths, holding them in their hands, and their pockets are filled with all kinds of roasted seeds and nuts stuffed by adults, not to mention being so happy.

When they came back after a visit, the house was very lively. Many people were chatting in the sun at the door of the house, most of them were waiting for Yu Qingze to come back to pay him a New Year greeting.

Yu Qingze chatted with the adults, Le brother was busy greeting him, Chang Hao and Jia Bao took other children to play in the yard. The younger brothers liked to kick the shuttlecock, and the younger men liked to bend their knees to play cockfighting and bouncing stones.

It is very lively.

It was not until near noon that the villagers gradually returned home.

Because they are migrating, there is no married brother in the family, and Le brother basically doesn’t have to go around with relatives in the first month of the year.

Taking advantage of the rest of these few days, Le Geer and Yu Qingze have done all the work they can do in the field, otherwise they will not have time to do it when the snack bar opens.

In the evening, after studying together for an hour, Brother Le began to make clothes after the spring. Yu Qingze continued to make the toothbrushes that had not been made, and the two teenagers also helped him make them together.

Through their experiments, they have made a total of four styles.

One is to pass the bristles through the two holes and then directly fix them with thin hemp rope or thin iron wire; the second is to fold the bristles from the middle and pull through a hole, and then use the iron wire on the back to pass through the bent place and fix it. Live; the third is to directly make a small wooden slot to insert the toothbrush back into it, like a drawer, the hair on the back is naturally fixed; the fourth is to make the toothbrush hole into a narrow and wide gourd shape, and then put the pig bristles Fold it in half and place a small bamboo piece in the middle to jam it.

Each has its advantages and disadvantages, but at least it can be used for a while. They made several of them and made sure that everyone had one, and the remaining ones could be kept for replacement. Then I made two big brushes for washing clothes.

Then, once the village chief came to see Yu Qingze, he saw it and discussed with Yu Qingze that the toothbrush and brush should also be sold.

If the village chief can do it, Yu Qingze certainly has no opinion. Whatever can make money is a good thing, so he told the village chief what he did.

On the fifth and sixth day of the sixth day, Yu Qingze took the two teenagers to Cai Mansion and Zhao Mansion to pay New Year’s greetings. When I went to Caifu, I learned that Master Cai and the others had also come back for the New Year, but they went back to Yunzhou in the third grade.

Later, on the eighth day, the snack bar opened in the New Year. Yu Qingze sent everyone a red envelope for the New Year, which inspired everyone again. Everyone worked enthusiastically.

On the opening day, many regular customers came to patronize and are used to the dim sum here. They just eat breakfast at home during the Chinese New Year. It doesn’t taste right. They always feel tasteless. Now that the snack bar is open, they naturally can’t wait to come over.

After the snack bar opened smoothly, Yu Qingze began to consider building a house.

Because of the custom of “do not move the land in the first month”, building a house is to wait for the first month. However, during this period of time, the preliminary work can be done well.

He circled another two acres of land next to the homestead that he was optimistic about, and then went to Lizheng’s house with the village head to pay the two acres of land and complete the formalities.

Looking back at the large vacant lot, Yu Qingze was thinking about the style of the house.

He originally wanted to build a four-bedroom and one-living house, but now he has changed his mind. If there are more treasures in the house, the house will be bigger. You can also get a study room, a storage room or something.

The bacon made a lot of money a year ago, and it can be sold for about half a month, and a little more money is enough.

Thinking in his mind, he drew several sketches, all in the style of the house, some of the ordinary styles of the houses here, the new styles of Yu Qingze combined with modern architecture, and the style of a courtyard house. Then discuss with Le Geer and the others to see which one they like.

On the night of the eleventh day of the first lunar month, Yu Qingze specially called Le Ge’er home. After dinner in the evening, Yu Qingze took out the drawings of the house, told everyone one by one, and then asked everyone to choose one they liked.

It seems to everyone that the young three chose the courtyard style, and Grandpa Chang chose the one where all the rooms are under one roof, which is probably more like a family like this.

Then the three young people began to convince Grandpa Chang, what kind of courtyard this style is nice, it doesn’t look so crowded when living in it, etc.

In the end, Grandpa Chang was persuaded by the three little ones.

In fact, Yu Qingze also prefers courtyard houses. Because of this quadrangle courtyard, the main house and the east and west wing are separated a little distance. Then let Grandpa Chang live in the main house. He and Le brother will live in the east wing, and the two younger brothers will live in the west wing. That night, he and Le brother will do some work. What, I’m not afraid of being heard.

Yu Qingze didn’t have much expectations for the soundproofing measures of ancient houses, so this courtyard house was obviously more in line with his psychological expectations.

In the end, Grandpa Chang was persuaded by them, so he was ready to build a quadrangle courtyard.

After confirming the style, Yu Qingze re-drew the drawings, carefully marking what each part was to be made, and then he went to the village chief.

He finished the drawing, but how to implement it. He hadn’t built a house before, and didn’t know what to do, so he had to ask the village chief to help.

Everyone in the village builds houses with the help of the villagers. The village chief understands these things better than him. Moreover, when the time comes, you will have to ask for help, and you will have to discuss with someone who understands you when you buy materials.

“Hey, are you going to build such a big one?” The village head was startled looking at the blueprints Yu Qingze had brought over.

“Yes.” Yu Qingze nodded, and then told the village head the function of each room in the drawing one by one.

The village chief touched the back of his head and thought for a long time.

Dajian Dayong also looked at the drawings, and their eyes lit up.

“Father, the style of this house is good. We can also build it like this. You see, when the time comes, the eldest brother will live here, we live here, and the third child will get married in the future. If you like, you can live here without affecting each other and you can take care of each other , How great.” Dayong said with a glance.

Dajian also nodded, “Yes, the new house can live in two households, and we can live in this house now, that’s enough.

The village chief glared at them and said, “Of course I know it’s good, but you don’t want to think about how much money it will cost to build such a yard. Do we have that much money?”

As soon as I heard this, Dajian and Dayong stopped talking. That’s right, he must have enough money!

Yu Qingze smiled and said: “My situation is different from yours. When Xiaohao and Jiabao grow up and get married, they should not live with us again. I will build another house for them.”

Brothers who are far and smelly, no matter how close they are, they will inevitably have discords after they get married, so it is best to live separately. Moreover, when the time comes, he is also confident that he can build a good house for them.

“Aze, are you building a blue brick house?” the village chief asked.

Yu Qingze nodded: “Yes.”

“Then about the materials, you can ask Yu Xiucai, when they built the house, what was the price of the materials they bought, you go and ask, he knows.”

“Okay, I made a note. Then, if I think it’s best to build it within a month, how many guys do I need to ask for help?”

“So anxious?” the village chief asked in surprise.

Yu Qingze nodded and smiled: “After the house is built, I will get married with Brother Le.”

When the village chief heard the words, they smiled understandingly.

The village chief said: “If this is the case, at least fifteen to twenty men must be hired, and two or three brothers must also be asked to help cook. The house is built in the village, usually in charge of the meals. A man usually pays 60 liters a day. , The cooking brother is about forty to fifty, you can see it for yourself.”

“Which guys in the village are more suitable?”

The village chief recommended another twenty people to him, fearing that some guys won’t be able to make room at that time. After all, everyone will be farming in February.

Yu Qingze wrote them down one by one, and then said: “By the way, the village head, I have to ask you to help me make some furniture, cabinets, wooden beds, tables, etc. I have designed two of them, and I need to paint them like this. I can do them now, otherwise I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it in time.”

“Oh, let me take a look.” The village chief took over Yu Qingze’s notebook and turned it page by page.

…

After discussing with the village chief, Yu Qingze went to Yu Xiucai again, and asked him where they bought the blue bricks and tiles and what the price was.

After that, Yu Qingze went to the place where Yu Xiucai said that they sold blue bricks and tiles, and then went to find the master who built the stove for them before, and asked him to recommend two familiar families, and he went to another one. I saw it, compared the prices, and finally chose the more suitable two.

After the Lantern Festival, for half a month later, Yu Qingze basically went to the store to see it the next day. He was busy with the preliminary preparations for building the house. Fortunately, at the end of the first month, everything is ready.

Once the first month is over, the house can be started.

There was a man in the village who was good at building a house. Yu Qingze asked him to be the foreman. They had discussed what to do before and divided the work.

On the first day of February, the foreman gathered all the men, and then told everyone about the requirements and work content, and everyone started to work.

After the construction of the house started, Yu Qingze had to supervise the work every day, busy scheduling the progress of this side and the material side, and there was no time to go to the store. He could only go to see it every other time, and then listen to Jiabao to talk about the situation in the store in the evening. . Fortunately, everything is fine in the store, but I heard that the new restaurant next door has a good business.

Yu Qingze is busy building a house, and Le brother, besides visiting the store every day, he has one more thing every night.

Be happy!

In fact, he started secretly doing it years ago, but he didn’t dare to let others know.

Brother Chang and his Ama are also helping him embroider patterns.

The peasant brother’s costume is not as gorgeous and rich as the big family, but there are also a lot of flowers, and it takes a lot of effort. After all, this wedding dress is no better than usual clothes. You only wear this once in your life, and you have to prepare well.

“Brother Le, so are you, you said you, why didn’t you tell us years ago, can you be in such a hurry now, can you make it in time?” Brother Chang said.

Brother Chang said: “It’s okay, let’s hurry up, we should hurry. But, Brother Le, how do you get Aze’s suit?”

Le Geer gestured: I have done it for him.

Brother Chang was surprised: “Did you do it for him? So fast?”

Brother Le lightly nodded, and gestured: The man’s suit is not that complicated, and he does it quickly.

He did it secretly staying up late when everyone was asleep during the annual vacation.

Brother Chang covered his mouth and snickered, and said, “It’s the first time I saw a man to marry a fiance who was going to be married.”

Brother Le blushed and reached out to beat him. Brother Chang laughed at him again.

Brother Chang Ama also laughed and said, “Isn’t it a special situation for them? There is no other person in Aze’s family, and no one prepared for him. Maybe he hasn’t thought of it yet.”

Brother Le nodded, indeed, he had never heard Brother Yu talk about it.

In fact, Yu Qingze didn’t think about it, but it was too simple. He just wanted to go to the clothing store to buy a suitable set, it would be fine, anyway, there are ready-made garments in the clothing store.

Both sides were busy with their own affairs, and a month later, the house was finally built on the fifth day of March!
