Chapter 26 Cold Sweat
"Grandma, I saw a cabinet on the kang head shown on TV, let's make one too, it's convenient to put things in."

Wang Xiujuan suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and pulled herself together, "Okay. Later, let your father find a carpenter in the village to make one."

"What about the bed? We don't need this bed now, where can we put it when we move it out?"

"Remove it first and put it in the utility room at the back. Let's see what it can be used for later."

At night, the Ning family all slept on the warm kang.

"Changgui, this thing is so good! I really don't feel cold at all when I sleep on it! What do you think big brother is thinking? You can think of such good things, aren't you brothers with him? Why don't you think about everything?" Don't know?" Li Dafeng touched the spacious and warm kang covered with sheets in surprise.

"If I want to have the brains of a big brother, then am I not a big brother?" Ning Laosan's eyelids are fighting, and he usually lies in bed shivering for hours before falling asleep?When he lay down today, the temperature made him drowsy.

"Hey, you said how much money can big brother make if he takes you out to set up a kang for others?"

Youngest Ning yawned sleepily, "I don't know, just listen to what Big Brother says."

After touching the kang for a long time, Li Dafeng suddenly remembered something, his father's legs and feet were not good, and the pain was even worse in winter.

"Changgui, can you offer one to my natal parents when you have time?"

"Okay, no problem. Stop talking and go to sleep." After speaking, Ning Changgui's snoring sounded in the room.

……

Since most households in the village have installed heated kangs, the consumption of firewood in the village has increased significantly.Many people went up the mountain to collect firewood again.

Those who don't know how to trade ask Ning Changrong for help, and Ning Changrong naturally won't refuse. They are all from the same village and Ning Changrong doesn't make much money.

He recorded all the households who wanted to use the heated kang, and then organized the heated kang team into several groups and sent them out separately. Within half a month, every household had slept on the heated kang.

Ning Changrong didn't take any money this time. They are all from the village, and it was just hard work earned.He didn't do much work, and let them divide all the money he earned according to their efforts.Not much, he won't take advantage of it.

Although there are fewer people going out in winter, there are still people who visit. The news of going to Yuancun heated kang has spread throughout the surrounding villages and outside the village in less than three days, and orders for heated kangs have come one after another.

Ning Changrong was in charge of leading the team, and was so busy that he even forgot to pick up the cabinet ordered by the carpenter for her daughter.

In the end, Wang Xiujuan and Ning Qingxi carried it back together.Fortunately, the cabinet is not heavy, so the two of them can take exercise.

With the fire resistance, there is not enough firewood, and those hoarded in winter are consumed very quickly. Ning Changrong's family is fine, and there is a pile of endless firewood sent by the villagers before, so there is no need to worry about this winter.Otherwise, Ning Qingxi might have to go up the mountain to collect firewood.But Wang Xiujuan and Ning Changrong would definitely not let her go.

"My father has been really busy recently, and it's been too hard." Ning Qingxi sat cross-legged on the kang, supporting the small table in the middle that came with the cabinet.

"There are only those people in the surrounding villages who can afford a kang. What our village charges is personal favors. It must not be the price outside. There are not many people who can afford a kang for a hundred yuan."

"It's estimated that the surrounding area has been sold out in the past few days, and I have to go far. It will definitely be busier, and there are many people waiting in line in that county."

"It's such a simple thing to make a kang. A skilled mason can learn it at a glance. If your father doesn't hurry up and grab these businesses, maybe how many people will learn to grab the business later."

Wang Xiujuan was sewing underwear.Ning Qingxi was not used to wearing obscene trousers here. Before the family had no conditions, Ning Changrong bought a lot of soft cloth after making money. If conditions allowed, Wang Xiujuan would not wrong her granddaughter, and it was also hygienic.

"Okay. By the way, my dad said this morning that he would lead the sheep back for me, and we can make a boiled mutton tomorrow!"

"That's great! The whole milk is delicious for you, and it must have no smell."

……

Ning Changrong wanted to buy mutton for Ning Qingxi a long time ago, but he didn't expect this meat to be so difficult to buy, either too old or too thin, and he finally managed to buy one when there were people around.

After setting up the kang for the owner's house, Ning Changrong went to the agreed house to get the sheep out, and was about to go out of the city and go home.

As they were walking, a group of people from Xiayuan Village stopped suddenly, and there were several yamen servants on the street in front of them, escorting a group of people in long gowns.

"Go! Hurry up!" The yamen servant disliked that the people in front were walking too slowly, and urged them to move forward.

The thin, middle-aged man in long gown was pushed back, kicked again, and hurriedly got up and walked towards the team.Ning Changrong frowned as he watched the scene in front of him.

Suddenly found an acquaintance in the crowd.

"Captain Zhao." Ning Changrong waved his hand in greeting.

After policeman Zhao saw it, he asked the policeman next to him to greet the prisoner he was guarding.Leaving the team and walking to Ning Changrong.The people of Xiayuan Village saw that Ning Changrong was so bold and dared to say hello to the poor man. After they walked towards them, they thought they were coming to ask for trouble, and they all held back their greetings.

Zhao quickly looked at the group of them and asked, "Brother Changrong? Why are you here?"

"Isn't this a small business? Bringing people from the village to give people a kang."

"You made the kang?!" Inspector Zhao was a little surprised. A few days ago, he heard from the owners of those shops, and he was still thinking about when he would find someone to buy one at his house.

"Hey, just thinking about it."

"When are you free? Can you order one for my family? I'm just worried that I can't find anyone."

"It's no problem, Zhao Zhao has already opened his mouth. When is it convenient for your house? It's too late today, and we have to rush back to the village. I'll go to your house tomorrow. Do you think it's okay?"

Seeing that Ning Changrong agreed readily, Zhao got closer to him, and told Ning Changrong the address of his home, "Okay, it's enough to be righteous. Just come here tomorrow. My mother will greet you when she is at home. I won't miss you."

"Okay. I'll clean it up for your family tomorrow." He didn't say anything that didn't cost money, and he didn't do it alone.

Seeing that Catcher Zhao was about to leave, Ning Changrong hurriedly asked, "Brother Zhao, what happened to these people?"

Zhao Zhao quickly pointed at the group of people, "You don't know yet, these are all storytellers, the county has ordered that you are not allowed to tell your story anymore, these people don't listen to persuasion, and secretly tell stories, so they will be arrested .”

"What?! What's going on? Why don't you let me talk about it?"

Zhao Kuai looked around mysteriously, leaned close to Ning Changrong's ear and whispered:
"I heard that the imperial court suffered a defeat in the north, and that General Chang, who rebelled in the north, liked this book very much. So the imperial court ordered not to spread it. I don't know the specific situation. Anyway, I will not let it be said. It's okay. You quit early, otherwise you might be implicated." The Tianlong Babu that Ning Changrong talked about had already been printed by some booksellers and sold everywhere, and naturally some people also sold it to the north.Of course, the money they sell has nothing to do with him.
