The space farmer comes to farm

Chapter 43
Because the houses here are not high-rise buildings, there is no need to dig particularly deep when laying the foundation.

The general shape of the house was first drawn on the ground, and then the foundation was dug along the drawn lines.

There were quite a lot of people this time, more than [-] people, and they were all veterans of building houses all the year round. Everyone had a clear division of labor, and they did things in an orderly manner, with both quality and speed.

However, the area of ​​the house is still quite large, so I didn't see any results in the whole morning.

Around noon, Yang Shi, Wu Shi, and several other people all came here.Seeing so many people working, they were shocked.

Mrs. Wu pulled Su Yu and asked, "Xiao Yu, why are there so many people working?"

"That's right, Xiaoyu, what kind of house is your family going to build? Seeing so many people, the project is not small. There are only three of you, are you done?" Yang's expression was also gossip.

Su Yu didn't want to say too much about this, and smiled, "Aunts and aunts, you have also seen that there are a lot of people, a family of thirty or so, let's start quickly."

The few people saw that Su Yu didn't want to say more, so they didn't ask any more questions. They walked to the shed by the river with Su Yu, and they all sighed again.

Although the grass shed was simply built, there were eight large stoves underneath, so that the rice could be cooked as quickly as possible.

"Yo, this makes too many stoves." Yang looked at the stove and said.

Su Yu chuckled, "Isn't this saving time for my aunts and aunts? If you finish it earlier, you can go back to rest earlier."

The few people felt happy when they heard her say this. Although they came to help, they were paid ten cents a day, and they even took care of one meal at noon, but they still had a lot of things to do at home.

In addition to the eight large stoves, there are also two rows of chopping boards, that is, four shelves placed side by side.

Next to the chopping board, there is a cabinet with several floors, which contains large bowls, large porcelain pots and small porcelain pots, and bamboo chopsticks.

The vegetables, fruits, rice noodles, meat, etc. that need to be used have all been prepared, and they are all placed in a large basin on the ground.

Although the shed was built by the river, it was actually more than ten meters away from the river. Su Yu asked someone to dig a big hole not far behind the shed, and dumped all waste water and garbage in it.

Although this river is running water, it cannot be decontaminated.

Seeing that things were ready, Mrs. Wu and the others started working immediately. They are all housewives at home, and they do things very neatly. They picked the vegetables and cleaned them in a short time.

The meat is pork belly, which is fat and thin, but people here like to eat this kind of meat.

Wu cut the meat into pieces and stewed it in a pot full of beans and eggplants. As soon as there was smoke from the edge of the pot lid, the smell of the meat wafted into the noses of the workers over there.

Smelling the smell of meat, everyone worked harder. The master paid a lot of money and provided them with good food. Of course, they were willing to work hard.

Eight large stoves were fired together, four dishes and one soup, one pot of steamed buns and two pots of rice. After half an hour, all the meals were ready.

Su Yu also followed suit. Although she knew how to cook, she wasn't very good at this kind of big pot meal. She just helped knead the dough and knead the steamed buns.

After the meal was ready, Su Yu went to the construction site to ask everyone to eat.

After washing their hands, everyone went to the shed and sat down together. Looking at the four pots of vegetables, one pot of soup, one pot of rice and one pot of steamed buns on the table, they all swallowed. This meal is really good.

Afterwards, there was only the sound of gobbling food, and no one communicated with each other at all, until they ate all the food on the table, and then rubbed their full stomachs with silly joy.

When these people were eating, Su Yu also let the Wu family eat, and she brought some food back to the yard over there. Su Yan was still at home alone. As for Jiang Qi, he had already sat down with everyone have eaten.

Su Yan originally said that he would come to help, but he was a child, and he couldn't resist and couldn't lift it. Of course, Su Yu wouldn't let him come, but when he picked vegetables in the morning, he asked him to help pick them together, and then told him that in the future I leave it to him to water the vegetables every day.

Of course, the water was brought by Su Yu or Jiang Qi and poured into the large tanks in the yard. In order to water these vegetables and watermelons conveniently, they bought several large tanks. , fill each jar with water.

When Su Yu brought the dishes back, Wu's and the others were cleaning the dishes.

Su Yu glanced over the chopping board, and saw several bowls there, and each bowl contained half a bowl of vegetables, with pork belly in it.

After thinking about it for a while, Su Yu understood that this was a dish for them, and they collectively kept the dish with meat, presumably to take it home for the family to eat.

After Wu and the others washed the dishes and cleaned the stove, Su Yu took off the purse that was hanging on her body. It was brought from home just now, and it contained copper plates. It was Wu and the others. wages today.

After handing over the money to everyone, Su Yu saw them smile even more happily.

This is also agreed in advance, and the wages are settled every day, which can be regarded as a peace of mind for them.

Wu and the others took the money and left with half a bowl of food, saying that they would come over at the same time tomorrow and bring back the bowl.

After sending a few people away, Su Yu looked at the enthusiastic crowd over there, and then lit the fire in the stove again.

The pot has been cleaned just now, and she is going to boil some boiling water and leave it there, so that those people can drink it when they are thirsty later.

Sure enough, when the pots of water she had boiled were half-cold, Jiang Qi came over.

"Let's boil some water, I'll be thirsty soon, it's very hot today." Before Jiang Qi entered the shed, the voice had already passed.

Su Yu said, "It's up to you to arrange it, it's all cold."

Jiang Qi had also approached at this time, saw the water in several pots, and smiled at Su Yu.

After filling two pots of water and putting the bowls in the bamboo basket, the two walked towards the construction site.

The location of the house chosen this time is very front, and the gate of the new house is side by side with the gate of the original yard.

Su Yu put the basket on the ground, poured a bowl for everyone who came to drink water, and the two teapots were already empty.

Su Yu walked back with the empty teapot, ready to pour two more pots, but Jiang Qi had already gone back to help.

It can be seen that Jiang Qi is very attentive to the construction of the new house. He has to participate in every detail and every construction. He does everything by himself. He doesn't go back to the yard at night, and sleeps under the thatched shed.

After half a month, the new house has already taken shape, which is really not slow.

When the foundation was about to be laid, Lu Youqi had already delivered the water pipes.

Su Yu carefully looked at the water pipes. These water pipes were made of copper, some thick and some thin. The thick ones were about a foot in diameter, and the thin ones were as thick as Su Yu's wrist.
