Chapter 242 The new shop

Second update, please read the full text of pink.

***……………***

The three of them took a broom and started cleaning the chicken pen, and then used a manure basket to throw chicken poop and other debris outside the gate. In order to accumulate fertilizer for their own world, Lian Man'er's house accumulated a manure pile, opposite the manure pile in the upper room. Zhao and Lian Ye'er also helped, and even completely cleaned up the chicken coop that they could not use for the time being.

After cleaning this way, you can't put the little chicken in it.

Just then, Lian Shouxin found nothing and came back. He saw that Zhang and his wife had already packed their chicken pens and went into the house quietly, and then he felt relieved.

"The child's father, you're back." Zhang saw Lian Shouxin coming, and looked happy and pointed the chicken pen to him. "Look, our chicken pen has to be covered with a layer of soil. We still lack a food trough and the door to this chicken pen, so we don't read the full text."

"This is easy to deal with." Lian Shouxin immediately said, "We have ready-made sand and soil. I will send it to you later. I will ask the carpenter to get some scraps and materials to make it in a while."

"Okay." Zhang smiled. Even Shuxin has become more and more capable these days. Zhang is very happy about it. "Is the work there smoothly? There is nothing wrong here, you should go back quickly. Our shop is the big deal."

"I'll ask someone to help me watch that, it's okay." Lian Shouxin said, "Where is Man'er going? I'll use blue bricks tomorrow. I'll ask her to pay the money. I'll go and take it back later."

"Man'er just entered the house. Let's go, I'll go find her with you." Zhang and Lian Shouxin entered the west wing.

"Man'er, your father asked you to pay for money." After entering the house, Zhang said to Lian Man'er, and turned around and poured a bowl of water for Lian Shouxin. "His father, you drink this, Man'er has honey in it, it's so delicious."

Lian Shouxin smiled silly, took the bowl and drank it all.

Lian Man'er had just washed her hands. When she heard that Lian Shouxin wanted to pay money, she hurriedly took out the account book and carried the money box out.

After the toilet was renovated, Lian Man'er's family began to discuss the construction of shops. Although the lease period of the house in the temple will not expire until the end of the year, it seems that it is not too late to start building a house after the autumn harvest. But the family discussed it and thought it would be better to build the house early to avoid any accidents. Because after the New Year, the business of her shop was booming, which attracted the attention of many people. There were many jealous and ulterior motives.

Therefore, the family decided to build the shop before the spring plowing begins.

The project of building shops is not comparable to the previous toilet. The family has invested a lot of effort and financial resources in this regard. Ordinary helpers can be found in the village. However, the craftsmen who built the houses still invited several famous old craftsmen with a radius of hundreds of miles through Wu Yugui's help.

Lian Shouxin himself did a simple division of labor. Lian Shouxin was the director of the building site, and Lian Man'er was the general manager of the accounting. Every penny spent on building a shop was uniformly managed and distributed by Lian Man'er.

"Dad, what money do you want to pay? How much do you pay?" Lian Man'er opened the account book, held the pen in his hand, and asked Lian Shouxin.

"The money for buying blue bricks is also the money for the big cart that pulls the feet." Lian Shouxin put down the bowl and said seriously, "Buy blue bricks first, and it takes about three cars to pull them back. The total amount is 1,350 cents."

Lian Man'er calculated the amount and looked at the budget listed in front of the account book. Then he started writing and wrote two transactions on the account book.

"Which car was you looking for?" Zhang asked Lian Shouxin.

"When we just dug the foundation, didn't Wang Shiliu find me and asked me to hand over all the work of pulling my feet to him." Lian Shouxin said, "These three trucks of bricks are just enough for his big truck. I just said that it was his business to load and unload the truck. He was the one who helped us with the work, and he didn't ask for additional wages. I saw that he was alone and not enough, so I asked someone to follow the car and help carry the bricks. Goro came back later and asked Goro to follow the car to pay."

"This is true. Our village is well-known and the bottom of the world. Wang Shiliu and his wife are both honest people." Zhang said.

"In the past two days, Wang Shiliu and his father have been willing to work hard for us. I am willing to hand over the work of rushing my feet to him." Lian Shouxin said with a smile.

While the couple was talking, Lian Man'er had already recorded the accounts. While handing the pen to Lian Shouxin and asking him to draw and keep a picture, he opened the money box and took out a hanging of money, three strings of money, and fifty-money copper coins from it.

Lian Shouxin wrote a note on the account book, took the money into his arms, and headed to the temple.

"...The money for this day was spent out loud." Zhang looked at the account book that had already had some thickness and sighed.

If you have to build a house, you don’t have to spend money. Lian Man’er smiled secretly. In her opinion, this is quite a savings. In addition to the wages paid to craftsmen, necessary wood, bricks, tiles, etc., at least stone, sand and soil can be dug in the river sink. These are only paid, but they do not need material money.

Lian Man'er said a few words to Zhang, and just put away the account book, money box, etc., and Lian Shuixun's call to send the sand and soil came.

The mother and mother hurriedly came out to greet each other and evenly spread the sand and soil on the ground of the chicken circle. The person who came was a silly young man. In addition to the fine sand and soil, he also brought some plaster and tile knife to fill the gaps of the slightly larger stones around the chicken circle with plaster and smooth it out.

"...Uncle Fourth said, I was afraid that there would be rats and other mice to get in through the cracks in the wall and take the little chicken away." said the young man, "Uncle Fourth also said that the food trough and the door can be made before eating later."

"Okay, I know everything." Zhang smiled and greeted the young man, "Drink a bowl of water in the house."

"I'll go back now, I'll be back. The work there hasn't been finished yet." After saying that, the young man pushed the car away.

Without a door, the chicken pen is not available yet. Zhang and Lian Man'er put out all thirty little chickens from the basket. Lian Zhier and Lian Ye Er took four large bowls, two bowls with clear water and the other two bowls with millet. Seeing the chickens chirping and squeezing over to drink water and peck at the rice. After feeding the chickens, the mother and the mother drove them together again, and together with the clear water and millet, they were covered with a large basket so that the chicks would not run around.

Zhang looked up at the sun that was gradually setting in the west, and said that the time for cooking was up. Whether it was the craftsman he invited or the helper in the village, he even offered three meals to his home every day. Because the breakfast shop was right next to him, he was cooking and eating nearby.

"His third uncle, you will help us take care of our children inside and outside the house. I will take the children to cook."

Zhang reminded Zhao. However, Lian Man'er still locked the door of the inner room. The three of them brought another Lian Ye'er and came to the temple.

When you reach the temple, you can see the foundation of the new shop and the pillars erected from afar. The approximate shape of the shop is outlined. Lian Shouxin is leading more than a dozen people to work hard.

"Mom, I'll go to my dad's place first." Lian Man'er said.

"Go." Zhang nodded.

In this way, Zhang took Lian Zhier and Lian Yeer to the shop to cook, while Lian Man'er went straight to the construction site of the new shop.

"Second Sister," Xiaoqi ran out from behind Lian Shouxin, arrived in front of Lian Man'er, and looked up at Lian Man'er with a smile.

"I'm back from school, why don't I do my homework?" Lian Man'er touched Xiaoqi's head and suddenly realized that Xiaoqi seemed to have grown again.

"The homework is done." Xiao Qi immediately said, "Brother follows the car to pull bricks. I'll help our father."

"This is not the work you two can do, go back to the shop and see what you can do for your mother." Lian Shouxin told Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi.

The two children did not leave, but looked around the construction site.

According to the family's agreement, this new shop has five rooms and two floors. In order to make the guests feel spacious and elegant as soon as they enter the shop, the floor height is designed to be one and a half feet taller than the houses where ordinary people live.

The first floor refers to the original layout of the shop, and will have a dining room, kitchen, operating room, storage room, and lounge. The second floor will be separated in the future as a private room.

Based on the current customer flow in the shop, the area of ​​the new shop seems to be larger. But Lian Man'er thinks more long-term. Will their shop only operate breakfast in the future and can't they change the one at the door with two or even three, so that it can become a famous restaurant far and wide?

"...Even if we don't build a restaurant, there is an official road ahead of our house. We can make money by opening some business." In short, if this house is built, it will always be useful and can bring benefits to their family.

This was how Lian Man'er convinced Lian Shouxin and Zhang.

When Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi turned out from the back of the house, they heard the sound of a carriage on the official road getting closer and closer. The carriage was pulled back. When the carriage stopped in front of the house, Goro jumped down first. Everyone stepped forward and moved the bricks down from the carriage.

Lian Man'er followed him and planned to help with bricks.

"This brick is heavy. Man'er, you can move at most two pieces at a time, don't move too much." Goro instructed, "Xiaoqi wants to move, just move one piece at a time."

After hearing Goro's words, Lian Man'er only moved two bricks. After buying the bricks, Lian Man'er's arm couldn't help but sink a little.

The size of this blue brick is about twice that of the red brick bought for a toilet. It is also thicker than the red brick, with a large density and stronger than the red brick. A brick is quite heavy. According to Lian Man'er's rough estimate, it weighs about three or four kilograms.

Whether it is color, volume or weight, it gives people a feeling of heaviness. Such a brick costs two cents, and such blue bricks can be burned by only two brick factories in Jinyang County. The price is expensive, but it is worth the money.

Lian Man'er decided that in the future, their family would use this kind of blue brick to build a new house!

After thinking about the silver deposit in her money box, Lian Man'er clenched her fists and worked hard to make more money for a better life.

**………******

Off topic: The blue bricks that cannot be moved, the thick wooden doors, the door nails as big as fists, and the tall screen walls with flying veils are a memory of when they were very small. It is really a touch, and the image is not clear because it was too small at that time. It just felt like the feeling when I saw these things, and it was always in my heart. Now, when I think back, I like those things very much, and that sense of heaviness makes people become solemn involuntarily.

It is not a mansion of aristocratic families, but the house of a large northern landlord. When it fell into the eyes of Ruoyan, most of it had been destroyed. I still remember that the blue bricks on the door stack could be sold for money, and it was not cheap.

In the second update, I want to be pink, and I’m outside the pink list, and I want to be in the top ten.
Chapter completed!
