Five-year-old little girl: Mom has thousands of acres of material space

Even the apprentices who came with Master Zheng were shocked when they saw the food served by the Jiang family. They followed the master and helped many wealthy families build houses, and they had never seen such good food.

The rich and wealthy families can provide at most a dry rice meal with one vegetarian dish and one soup. The kind-hearted families can only provide vegetarian dishes with a little bit of minced meat, which is already considered the best.

Unexpectedly, the Jiang family not only provides dry rice, but also real meat, stir-fried vegetables, and a large pot of oily bone soup with frangipani floating in it... This meal is simply too rich!

Everyone in the courtyard devoured it like a wolf, and no one said a superfluous word.

After eating and drinking, everyone immediately got up and continued working without resting.

This rich meal made them feel that the thirty cents a day's salary was too much, and they couldn't justify not doing more work.

After laying the foundation, it is time to start mixing mud and laying bricks to build the first floor of the building.

Master Zheng was still thinking about the concrete, but when he saw the cement used by the workers to lay bricks, he was suddenly excited again.

What is this thing?

It's not like the white ash used as an adhesive for building houses by wealthy families, or the mixture of yellow mud, water and straw used by villagers to make earthen walls.

He was full of doubts, but he still had the patience not to ask, and asked his apprentice to lay every brick here more carefully.

Time gradually came to the afternoon.

Not only were the workers not tired after a day's work, but they were all in high spirits.

Because Jiang Wei paid his wages that day.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was sitting at the table in the courtyard. There was a piece of rice paper spread on the table. On it, she recorded the names of every worker who came to build a house at her house. Jiang Wei was responsible for paying wages next to her.

Every time Jiang Wei pays a person's wages, Jiang Xiaoxiao puts a check mark behind the person's name.

After receiving the warm thirty copper coins, the workers went home happily.

I came to Jiang's house to work and provide food, but only for the lunch meal. I received the work money for the afternoon meal and went home to eat.

This is understandable. The food provided by the Jiang family is too luxurious. If they provide two meals a day, they will go bankrupt.

The workers went home one after another, and Master Zheng and his apprentice also left. Once it got dark, they couldn't do the work, so they had to come back tomorrow morning.

There is no place to live here, so I can only go back to my residence in the town. Fortunately, the town is not far from Yuhe Village and can be reached in less than half an hour by carriage.

Qiu Lianniang and Sister Zhao have also finished cleaning up the yard. The bowls and chopsticks used by the workers have been carefully washed, scalded with boiling water, and finally neatly stacked in the cupboard.

Jiang Wei calculated the wages for them as usual. It was not an easy task to cook for more than forty people, so he gave each of them fifteen cents.

Qiu Lianniang and Sister Zhao were naturally surprised and happy. When they came to help with the cooking, they never thought about asking for wages. If anyone in the village held a wedding event and asked someone to help cook, they would only give them some eggs at most. Thank you.

The two of them originally wanted to refuse, but Jiang Wei couldn't resist it, so they accepted it.

Before leaving, Jiang Xiao saw that there was some braised pork left in the pot and it was already cold, so he asked the two of them to take it back together for the family to eat.

Sister-in-law Zhao and Qiu Lianniang happily accepted it.

This is braised pork made from deer meat. You can’t even eat it normally. My family is in for a treat!

After the two left, it was completely dark.

After a busy day, Jiang Weixian was a little tired now. She stretched out and turned around to see her daughter waving her little hand towards her. She said bluntly: "Mom, the water is hot. Come and take a bath."

Jiang Wei smiled: "Okay."

……

The news that the Jiang family was building a house had spread throughout the village for a day, and as night fell, the villagers were still talking about it happily.

"Hey, the Jiang family is really prosperous. Even Li Zheng's family lives in a mud house, but her family actually built a large brick house with tiles that only the town can afford!"

"Tsk, tsk, blue bricks are not cheap these days. A piece of blue brick costs six or seven cents, which can buy more than a kilogram of corn!"

"My man went to work at her house today. He said that the foundation of Jiang's house has been completely laid. How big of a house will we need to build?"

"A brick is only so small. The four walls of a house need to be built in two layers. This wall requires more than a thousand green bricks. There are so many green bricks piled in her yard, they are worth at least a hundred Two pieces of silver..."

……

The weather was hot, and Widow Xu was enjoying the cool breeze in the yard. She felt more and more uncomfortable as she listened to the conversation of the wife and mother-in-law who were enjoying the cool weather outside.

She simply went back to the house and slammed the door hard, but she still couldn't stop the words of those people from echoing in her ears.

"Why did you close the door? It's blocking me from blowing the wind!" Zhao Laigui, who was lying on the bed, said unhappily.

"You're the only one who has a lot of things to do!" Widow Xu gave her a hard look, didn't open the door, and turned around to sit on the bed opposite.

"I'm really blinded by lard, how can I live with a woman like you!" Zhao Rascal scolded, but he just cursed and did not get up.

He had been busy harvesting rice on the ground the past few days, and his back was so tired that he still hadn't recovered. His legs and arms hurt so much when he moved, and he really didn't have the extra energy to fight Widow Xu.

In the past few days, he had thought more than once that if he had not been related to Widow Xu, Sister-in-law Zhao would not have left, the work at home would not be left unattended, and he would not have to work so hard...

He really missed the days when he could open his mouth for food, stretch out his hands for clothes, and be served by Sister Zhao all the time.

"Bah, if you hadn't used force on me and ruined my innocence, do you think I would live with a man like you!" Widow Xu yelled back without showing any signs of weakness.

After yelling, she felt even more aggrieved. Why did she, a widow in the village, end up like this, but Jiang Wei was able to live a more prosperous life? Covered...

Why was it she and not Jiang Wei who was insulted by rogue Zhao?

Thinking like this, a trace of darkness suddenly emerged in Widow Xu's jealous heart.

She raised her head and looked at Rascal Zhao again, her tone had recovered, and she deliberately snorted: "If you dislike me, you can marry someone else."

Rascal Zhao also imitated her and snorted: "If I could marry you, you wouldn't be the one sitting here."

Widow Xu rolled her eyes and said, "Look at Mrs. Jiang in the village. Isn't she also a widow? Don't you have any thoughts about her?"

Rascal Zhao said nothing.

Not only was he interested in Ms. Jiang, he just wanted to take that mother and daughter as his own!

But he is not that brave. Now Jiang's reputation in the village is not what it used to be. She is praised by most people in the village, and Li Zheng pays special attention to her.

Moreover, Mr. Jiang was so powerful that he dared to hunt down wild wolves from the mountains. This was what he feared the most.
