hidden old spring

Chapter 39

This was not a difficult design. Su Changan patiently told him his thoughts. What Chen Liu couldn't understand was Su Changan's wording. After he understood it through Su Changan's explanation, he had an idea in his mind. end.

"Well, you are talking about waterproofing. Isn't it too luxurious to use earthenware? Why not replace it with mats. If you find it dirty, I can always replace them with new ones. I can weave the mats more densely and it will be waterproof. Also, Manure bin, this..." Chen Liu tried to tell Su Changan what he thought, and Su Changan listened carefully, then nodded in agreement.

Su Changan even said this after listening.

"Uncle Chen's plan is very good. Let's do this. I'll leave this matter to Uncle Chen. I'm willing to pay another two taels of silver. What do you think?"

Chen Liu nodded quickly, indicating that there was no problem at all.

Chen Liu agreed to this, and Su Changan went back to the house to get him some money. The person who came to give him the money was Yindan. When he came, he also brought three pieces of tofu to Chen Liu.

The tofu at Su Changan's house is big, and the tofu weighs at least two kilograms. It's white, tender, and delicious even when you eat it.

Su Changan stayed in the kitchen ordering tofu. When he came out to take a look after the busy morning, the tunnel slanting under the wall had almost been dug.

The salary of two taels of silver is enough for Chen Liu to do everything perfectly.

Su Changan's idea was to dig a sloping circular passage, but Chen Liu dug a slope that could allow a half-year-old child to climb over.

The slope was dug big, and the hole on his side was also big.

But now this is obviously still a semi-finished product, and Chen Liu doesn’t know where he is.

Mother Chen was sitting in the big pit weaving mats, and by mistake she saw Su Changan peeking over there.

Mother Chen is very thin, skinny and skinny, with gray hair and a sallow face full of bitterness.

Seeing Su Changan, she smiled subconsciously, and then she recognized who she was, and her smile became flattering again.

"Well, my son went to pick out the yellow mud. After applying it and burning it, it became very smooth and did not leak."

The old lady's voice was a little hoarse and not very pleasant.

"Uh." Su Changan didn't know how to reply to this. After thinking about it, Su Changan said with a smile.

"I can rest assured that Uncle Chen will do his job well. You can tell he is doing a solid job at this job."

When the old lady heard Su Changan praise her son for his good work, her original nervousness eased a little, and the smile on her face became even happier.

"Yes, yes, San'er is down-to-earth and a good boy." The old lady thought for a moment and then quickly added. "Tofu, today's tofu is delicious. Thank you for the tofu."

Su Changan felt a little uncomfortable for a moment when she was addressed with an honorific by an old man who looked older than her grandmother.

His toes dug hard at the ground, but Su Changan's face remained calm, still smiling.

"Thank you. Your compliment makes me feel very happy. I have just started this business because of the wisdom of others. Everything is just a matter of feeling the stones."

"It's delicious. It's really delicious. It's smooth and tender. It doesn't cost your teeth. It's delicious." The old lady didn't have much knowledge, so she just said those two words of praise over and over again, but Su Changan could tell that she was serious. I want Su Changan to know that her tofu is really delicious.

Su Changan listened with a smile, and then squatted here and chatted with the old lady for a while.

It is actually uncomfortable to chat in this position.

The slope was dug big enough so that the old lady could have a good view while sitting in the pit. If Su Changan wanted to chat with the old lady, he could only squat by the slope of the hole. After squatting for a long time, his feet would inevitably go numb.

But Su Chang'an didn't just make excuses to leave. She chatted with the old lady for a while, and gradually dispelled the old lady's sense of restraint. At least Chen's mother no longer blurted out the honorific to Su Chang'an.

What Chen Liu saw when he came back with his shoulder pole was his mother laughing and chattering to someone in the pit.

Su Changan couldn't see Chen Liu, and Chen Liu couldn't see Su Changan, but Chen Liu, who came back with a pole, didn't ask his mother who she was talking to.He is very silent, as if he is 'talkative' only when facing outsiders.

Mother Chen saw Chen Liu coming back and quickly told Su Changan.

"My son is back. When the time comes, apply a few layers of yellow mud here and burn it dry with firewood. It will last for a long time!"

"Uncle Chen is very thoughtful and I'm already looking forward to the final product."

After hearing Su Changan's voice, Chen Liu, who was pouring out the mud, blinked and had other reactions, and the expression on his face became vivid.

He seemed a little embarrassed by the praise and was a little at a loss holding the basket.

"This...me, me."

Su Changan smiled kindly, and then said as if he suddenly remembered something.

"Oops, I forgot to soak the beans. Look at me, I'm so obsessed with talking."

The old lady said quickly after hearing this.

"Go quickly, go quickly, we can't delay doing business."

"Hey!" Su Changan responded and stood up slowly. After squatting for such a long time, her feet were indeed numb.

Su Changan moved back to the house and breathed a sigh of relief when he sat on the bed.

Beans, Silver Egg and Copper Egg had already been soaked when they left. She just found an excuse to come back to rest.

After sitting down, Su Changan still sighed with the system.

"It's not easy for people here to live."

Su Changan also learned some things while talking to the old lady.

For example, there is no school here. Chen Liu goes out to work early every day and comes home late every day. Their seven children go outside to play wildly and only come back during dinner. When the old lady talks about those seven children, she talks about them the most. The eldest child is already eight years old this year. He will be an adult when he turns ten in two years. By then, let him and his third uncle go out to find odd jobs, and the family will be well off.

Su Changan felt quite confused after hearing this.

Su Changan sighed for a while and then lay down on the bed to rest.

Her body is not healed yet, she is still very weak, and she still needs to rest.

When he was about to fall asleep, Su Changan suddenly said something to the system that seemed like he was talking in his sleep.

"System, let's do some other business."

The system silently flashed the word "OK", and I don't know if Su Changan saw it.

When Su Changan woke up again, it was already afternoon. Yindan and Tongdan came to help as usual. This time they came early to help Chen Liu build a hut for the livestock.

When Su Changan came out of the house, the hut was almost completed.

Perhaps knowing that Su Changan couldn't bear to see those dirty scenes, Chen Liu surrounded the sloping hole in her yard with mats, and even made a roof on it to ensure that it wouldn't leak in on rainy days.

It can be said that the work was very meticulous. Su Changan went over and took a look. In just a short time, the slope and the manure pit had been smeared with yellow mud and burned. The burned yellow mud hardened and had cracks. They were working on it. Getting ready to apply it a second time.
