Chapter 24 Building a Tile House
A group of people sat at two square tables, the seats were just right, and she made big bowls of dishes on the tables, even if there were two more people, it would be enough.

Everyone in Liu Kaifu's group was satisfied with this meal, and they were even more grateful for this little girl in their hearts.

"Little girl, your cooking skills can catch up with the restaurants in the town, haha!" Qiu Er praised Liu Qingcao without concealment.

"The cooks in the town are much better than me. I have to learn more, and I will try to open a small restaurant in the future."

"That's a good relationship. When the time comes, all of us will come to support you."

"Then I would like to thank a few uncles."

Liu Qingcao chatted with the craftsmen for a while, and learned a lot about the outside world.

Liu Kaifu looked at the small yard, took a sip of water, rolled up his sleeves and started working.

Liu Qingcao, old man Niu and Liu Jiangbei were playing with firewood outside the yard.

Time passed by, seeing that it was getting late, Liu Qingcao started cooking.

In the firewood room, she picked and picked things. She didn't plan to make too much for dinner today. She was afraid that if she couldn't finish it, it would be too hot tomorrow morning.

Stewed meat with sauerkraut, cold cucumber, stir-fried cabbage, egg soup, there are meat and vegetable soups, a little worse than noon, compared with other people, it is the Chinese New Year standard.

Liu Qingcao took out the wine and ordered people to eat. At the dinner table, the old and the young were chatting about their children and wives, their faces full of happiness.

Liu Qingcao was infected by them, sitting quietly by the side, watching them eating, drinking and chatting, unexpectedly felt extremely comfortable.

The food and drink were clean, Liu Kaifu left with a slightly drunk group of people, and Liu Qingcao slowly cleaned the yard.

I have been busy for a whole day, and my body is a little tired, but tomorrow Hui Bailou's braised pork has not been stewed yet, so I have to endure it for a while, and go to rest after it is done.

At night, Liu Qingcao was lying on the bed, staring at the roof in the dark night, full of thoughts.

I have been here for more than a month. There are vegetables in the fields, houses in the yard, and money on my body. As I move forward, life will only get better and better.

It's just that I feel that something is missing, a sense of belonging?
That's right, there are only a few people I come into contact with every day. Except for the old man Niu, I don't have any contact with other people in the village. This village is too quiet, it's abnormally quiet.

Liu Qingcao doesn't like living in such an environment. Although she sympathizes with the people in the village, it's really okay to live with trauma in her heart all the time.

She felt that it wasn't worth it, and the various encounters in the catastrophe were not an excuse to be depressed and close herself.

"Hey, why didn't the village chief come to see me!" Liu Qingcao sighed, feeling a little helpless.

She has been waiting for the village chief to come to her door, but the village chief is also a weird person, and he hasn't shown up until now. She is really anxious to death.

She wanted to take the villagers out, lead them to let go of herself, and lead them to get rich, but...

Oh, forget it, wait and see, if it’s really not possible, you can come to the door by yourself, but it’s easy to get rejected!
The people in this village are really weird, they are all like boring gourds, if they come to borrow something, their eyes are like guarding you against wolves.

Those who can speak a few words are only the more naughty children in the village, Tie Zhu and Goudan...

……

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Uncle Liu, this is wages." After dinner, Liu Qingcao took out seven taels of silver and handed it to Liu Kaifu.

After three days of busy work, Liu Kaifu and the others completed the tile-roofed house, the thatched shed, and the thatched shed was built very wide, and the firewood was also built there. widened.

Liu Kaifu took the money, put it in his pocket, packed up his things, greeted her and left.

Liu Qingcao didn't stay any longer, it was getting late, they walked fast, and they could still get home before dark.

As soon as the person left, the whole yard was quiet. Liu Qingcao felt a sense of accomplishment as she looked at the newly built tile-roofed house and the thatched shed outside the yard.

The tile-roofed house cannot be lived in for the time being, and it has to be aired for a few days. Now that there is a place to live, Liu Qingcao is not in a hurry to move in.

During the day, she went to the field to look at the glutinous rice, and the seedlings had grown a lot taller. The entire field was green and full of vitality.

The vegetables and fruits in the field are growing up and blooming. After waiting for a while, she doesn't have to go to the town to buy vegetables to eat, which also saves a lot of money for buying vegetables.

Seeing that Hui Bailou is about to pay dividends, Liu Qingcao still has a little expectation.

Delivered every day, almost a month in a row, the business of Huibailou has been very good, but the business of Shitianxia is not as good as before.

Ge Hongshan told her that Shitianxia is also trying to make braised pork to buy, the price is slightly cheaper, and there is still some business, but the taste is not authentic, and there are very few repeat customers, which has little impact on them.

Liu Qingcao was lying on the bed thinking, how much would she get for a month's dividend, three to seven cents?

Three sets of pigs are put into the water every day, and the cost is about [-] yuan. One pair can sell [-] copies, and the unit price of one set is basically around [-] yuan. The daily sales are between [-] taels and [-] taels. She can distribute almost three taels of silver a day, and after a month...

"Hey, eight or ninety taels, you can send Jiangbei to study now!" Liu Qingcao got excited and sat up from the bed suddenly, her voice was a bit loud, afraid of waking Liu Jiangbei up, Liu Qingcao stretched her neck to see that she was still asleep Liu Jiangbei quietly lay down again.

Some time ago, Liu Qingcao watched the money in her hand being spent like water, and was a little anxious. Afterwards, Liu Qingcao saved as much as she could on the daily expenses, for fear of encountering an emergency and having no money in hand.

Fortunately, fortunately, there is still money in hand, and Huibailou's business is going on as usual. Seeing that the day to get money is approaching, she is relieved.

Accompanied by the sound of insects, Liu Qingcao also fell asleep sweetly.

The next morning, Liu Qingcao got up and went to the vegetable garden to pick a handful of green vegetables, washed them in the river, and went back to the yard.

Vegetable porridge was simmering in the iron pot, and three eggs were boiled in the clay pot.

On the cutting board, Liu Qingcao was cutting sauerkraut and stewed pork.

The porridge is ready, Liu Qingcao put it in the pot to dry first, brush the pot with oil, put the sauerkraut and stewed pork in the pot and stir fry.

This dish is really not too comfortable to eat with rice.

After eating too much fish and meat, Liu Qingcao was a little tired, but suddenly he ate this sour taste, his appetite was widened, and the old man Niu and Liu Jiangbei were also satisfied, and they both turned the bowl.

"Sister, your cooking skills are getting better and better. It's delicious." Liu Jiangbei stroked his belly and praised in a childish voice.

"It's not that my sister is good at cooking, it's that we eat too greasy every day, and suddenly change the taste, it feels fresh, if you let you eat like this every day, you will feel bad." Liu Qingcao touched Liu Jiangbei's fleshy face , explain to him why.

Liu Jiangbei thought for a while, his eyes lit up:
"After that, let's eat differently, so we won't get tired of it!"

"Yes, you won't get tired of it if you change it." Liu Qingcao replied with a smile.

Liu Jiangbei didn't know what to think of, suddenly looked at Liu Qingcao, and said in a low voice: "When I had nothing to eat, I ate grass roots and wild vegetables every day, and I still couldn't get enough. After eating for so long, I didn't get tired of it. Why do I still get tired of eating now? Woolen cloth?"

Liu Qingcao looked at him as a ten-year-old doll, asked such a question, and smiled.

"Jiangbei, that's because we didn't have anything to eat at that time, and we couldn't get enough to eat. If we didn't eat enough and were hungry, we wouldn't get tired of it. Now that we have food, we can still eat enough. After a long time, we will get tired. dont you agree?"

"Yes, sister, I understand." Liu Jiangbei understood immediately after hearing what his sister said.

The old man Niu quietly watched the two ask and answer questions without speaking. He saw that it was getting late, so he took the stewed vegetables and drove the ox cart to the town.
