Make a lot of money!I got rich in the year of famine

Chapter 13

The uncle nodded, "That's right."

When they arrived at Crescent Bay, the uncle helped them move things.

Seeing those dilapidated houses, the old and the young standing at the door, they dispelled the last bit of doubt.

Shen Hui was surprised but not happy when she saw the things piled up in the hall, "Qing'er, how much does this cost?" She would rather save everything and scrape together a little bit.

Shen Qing smiled and said: "Not much, just two taels of silver."

"Isn't that much? Alas...it should be saved."

"Exactly!" Holling agreed.

Shen Qing kicked Huo Lin, then smiled at her, "Sister, we don't expect this money to pay off the debt, we might as well live a good life first, don't worry, I have a plan! Can we eat noodles tonight?"

Shen Hui had nothing to do with her, "Okay, let's eat noodles. I'll knead them. Mr. Huo is old, so it's just right for him to eat noodles."

Shen Hui is a good cook, Shen Qing has a lot of weird ideas and can always come up with new tricks.

Roll out the dough, spread it on the table, and then cut it into chopstick thickness.

The stove in the kitchen has not yet been set up, so we can only light a charcoal basin in the main room, and hang a small iron pot on it to boil water and cook noodles.

Before the lard was refined, Shen Qing poured a little vegetable oil, waited for the water in the pot to boil, added the noodles, added salt, and when it was about to come out of the pot, sprinkled some green onions.

The shallots are grown by Huo's family, who have a small vegetable garden.

Uncle Huo can't go to the field, and the small vegetable garden depends entirely on Huo Lin to look after it.

He can't grow anything, the garden is basically nothing but a little garlic and shallots.

Shen Hui first filled a bowl and handed it to Huo Lin, asking him to take it to the old man.

The boy's legs ran very fast and he was back in the blink of an eye. He asked anxiously: "Where's mine?"

"It's indispensable for you." Shen Hui served him another bowl and invited Shen Qing to eat.

Shen Qing sat by the charcoal fire, holding his chin and thinking, "Huolin, is there someone else on the mountain behind?"

Huo Lin sipped his noodles and could only nod without talking.

"Who knows how to cook the stove? I want to ask someone to cook the stove. We can't always cook in the main room." Cooking should be done in the kitchen.

Huo Lin took a sip of the noodle soup and said, "Uncle Fan knows how to cook a stove. He made my earthen stove. There is also a kang. He knows many things. His wife raises chickens in an enclosure in the mountains, and they fly around in the woods. "

Shen Qing's eyes lit up, "Then you go over tomorrow and ask me to invite him to cook the stove. In addition, I will buy some chickens from his wife, about thirty, and some ducks too, about twenty. I will buy the chickens later." Let’s repair the cage. Isn’t there a ditch behind the house? When the weather clears, we’ll dig it out and dig up the mud to make fertilizer. After a few rains, we’ll store the water, and then we can raise ducks.”

"The chickens are left free-range in the bamboo forest behind the house. They are blocked by fences on both sides and a hole is made in the door of the chicken coop. This way, they can put the chickens in the cage by themselves at night without having to worry about it. It saves a lot of trouble."

Huo Lin's eyes lit up, "Is this possible?"

Shen Hui tapped his head with chopsticks, "Of course what Qing'er said is right. From now on, you will work with her. When you earn a lot of money, save it for you to marry a wife in the future."

When the two of them were in Shen's house, they also raised chickens and ducks. These were common tasks, and it wasn't difficult, but...

"Qing'er, what shall we feed?"

Shen Qing touched his chin, "First grind the grains and mix them with chopped wild vegetables. After a rain, the wild vegetables bloomed quickly outside. I bought a lot of seeds today. We have to clear two vegetable fields first. Come and raise seedlings, plant some cabbage in spring to feed the chickens, lettuce will do too, you have to plant more."

After listening to her rambling for half an hour, Huo Lin suddenly felt a lot of pressure. He didn't feel that there was so much work at home before.

However, Shen Hui listened with gusto and made comments from time to time.

After it was finalized, Shen Qing woke Huolin up across the yard early the next morning and urged him to invite someone.

Uncle Huo also urged, "You are a boy, you have fast legs and feet, you should be more diligent, don't be urged by others all day long, go quickly."

"Got it..." Huo Lin was depressed, and he was still unambiguous about running errands.

After a while, Shen Hui came over to deliver breakfast and helped clean up the house. She even packed and washed the clothes that the old man and the young man had changed.

Uncle Huo thought happily, if his eldest grandson could come back alive and ask this girl to be his wife, it would be great, and he could die in peace.

The old man always thinks about what happens after death, but he doesn't know that he can only see the future when he is alive, and only a handful of bones are left after death.

After washing her clothes, Shen Hui also ran to the vegetable field, where Shen Qing was digging.

It had rained the first two days and the ground was still wet. When I dropped the shovel, half the shovel was covered in mud, making it too heavy to lift.

Shen Hui squatted on the side to pull weeds, "After two days to dry, we can dig."

"Can't wait!"

Yes!

They only have one year, and they have to cherish every day now, so they can't wait.

After digging only half a ridge, Shen Qing stopped and looked at his hands, blisters had already been worn out.

Shen Hui was heartbroken, "You sit aside and I'll dig it out."

Shen Qing pushed her away, "Forget it! You are not as strong as me."

The two sisters were grabbing shovels when Huolin led two men down the mountain.

"Sister Qing, Sister Hui, Uncle Fan is here to cook the stove for you. Why are you two digging the ground? Didn't you tell me to wait for me when I come back?" Huo Lin ran to grab the shovel, "By the way, bring all the chickens and ducks you want." Come on, let’s go and take a look!”

Coming with Boss Fan is his son Fan Xiaoshan.

He is also a strong and honest boy, one year older than Shen Hui.

When he saw the two sisters who entered the hospital together, he blushed and didn't even dare to raise his head.

Shen Hui focused all her attention on those chickens and ducklings. When she lifted the bamboo cover, she saw that it was full of bright yellow and cute little guys, which made her very rare.

Fan Jiaye is not tall, with short legs and a long body.

But he has a good personality. He smiles whenever he speaks, showing two rows of big white teeth when he smiles, and is simple and friendly.

"Girl, these little things are afraid of the cold at night, so they should be covered with quilts, but don't cover them too much, so as not to be suffocated and suffocated. If it's sunny during the day, just go out and bask in the sun. I brought some Chop the vegetables and mix them with some corn residue, but don’t feed them too much. They don’t know how to be full. It doesn’t matter if they are hungry, but they just can’t hold on.”

Boss Fan laughed and took out his tools while giving instructions.

Shen Hui nodded happily, "Hey, I know, how much money do these cost?"

Shen Qing said: "Sister, you move them in first, after the stove is finished, we will settle the money with Uncle Fan."

Boss Fan also said: "Yes, turn around and count together, girl, come and see where the stove is facing, Xiaoshan, go and make mud."

The original hearth was built with green bricks. Although it collapsed, the green bricks can still be used.

The father and father cooperated tacitly, and it took only half a day to set up the earthen stove with both eyes, and the stove was smooth and even.

This was Shen Qing's suggestion. She felt that since she had decided, she might as well get it right in one step, so as not to worry about the lack of cooking space in the future.

Mr. Fan's hands were full of mud, but he didn't forget to point his finger at her, "Girl, you have a broad vision. Don't worry, you will definitely be able to use these two stoves in the future."

Shen Qing was also very satisfied, "Uncle Fan, can I bother you to help us repair the chicken coop again, don't worry, it will be included in the wages, and there will be no credit."
