Chapter 60
Today is the first day of construction of Xiaoer's new house. Shen Chengyao and Liu Shi got up early in the morning to prepare supplies for worshiping gods. Shen Chengyao bought a big rooster yesterday and is currently plucking in the yard.Mrs. Liu was cooking sweet glutinous rice balls in the kitchen. The glutinous rice balls were made by Jingrui and Jing Hao, and they were filled with peanuts and sesame seeds. Because the father and son loved glutinous rice balls, they all asked for more, so Mrs. Liu cooked a large amount of glutinous rice balls. pot.I plan to give some to Shangfang and my uncle's family.

Xiao'er helped cook a plate of vegetarian dishes, and then went to make birthday buns. The stuffing of birthday buns is made of sugar, cooked flour and tangerines soaked in lard, which is very sweet.She made the birthday bag into the shape of a peach, and after wrapping it, she took out a red-fleshed dragon fruit, cut it open, took out a piece of flesh and painted a little red on the birthday bag, and a red-white birthday peach appeared.The day before yesterday, before Xiao'er went home, she secretly put nine apples, nine oranges, three red-fleshed dragon fruits and one pomelo into the back basket. These are all fruits used for worshiping gods.The red-fleshed dragon fruit that is taken out now was taken out of the space that day.Xiao'er only steamed one basket, twelve of them.She packed nine of them on a plate and worshiped God later. The two brothers clamored to eat birthday buns that looked like peaches for the first time.

"These can't be eaten, there are three more in the pot."

Mrs. Liu took the remaining three out of a bowl, "The buns look so pleasing, I guessed that you must be arguing to eat them, you three brothers and sisters should each have one."

"Mother is the best!" Jing Hao first ran over to pick up two, handed one to Jingrui and one to Xiao'er, then picked up his own and started to eat, saying vaguely while eating, "Well, good Late, very late!"

"Is everything ready, Mother?" Xiao'er glanced at the sky outside, and it was already around seven o'clock in the morning, and their family had been getting ready since four o'clock in the morning.

"It's almost done. I'm cooking lotus seed lily syrup and pig's head. It will be ready in a while."

"Let's put the finished ones in the food box first and put them on the bullock cart. It's almost time, so we have to go to the field quickly."

Mrs. Liu took a look at the sky, and swiftly put the prepared sacrifices into food boxes one by one. Shen Chengyao put the ready-made pig's head into a plate, put the sugar water into a large bowl, and put them into two bowls respectively. He took a food box out and put it on the bullock cart.

"Father, go and invite grandpa to go there with you." Today is a good day for her family to start building a house, and it is reasonable to invite old man Shen to appear.

"I'll go right away." Shen Chengyao responded and walked to the upper room. He mentioned it to old man Shen several times last night, and old man Shen also agreed.

Shen Chengyao walked to the upper room, and old master Shen was already dressed and waiting there, "Father, let's go."

Mr. Shen smiled and said, "Okay, I just wanted to go out."

Shen Chengyao asked Shen Zhuang who was sitting on the Kang: "Mother, do you want to go together?"

Shen Zhuang rolled his eyelids, "What am I going to do, it's not a house built for me."

Shen Chengyao was stabbed, and forgot how to react for a moment, Mr. Shen glared at her, "It's so early in the morning, what's the fuss? Leave her alone, let's go, don't delay the auspicious time."

Shen Chengyao sneered, "Mother, let's go there first."

Shen Zhuang snorted.

Shen Chengyao supported old man Shen's hand and walked out, but old man Shen shook off his hand, "Father is not old enough to be supported before he can leave, let's go."

The two walked out of the yard. Mrs. Liu had already put all the things she needed into the ox cart, and the whole family got into the ox cart and headed to the village.

On the wasteland at the head of the village, Foreman Liang was already waiting there with a dozen workers, and other wastelands had already been reclaimed.

When Foreman Liang saw Shen Chengyao's family, he hurriedly went up to say hello to Mr. Shen, and then said to Shen Chengyao, "Hurry up, the auspicious time is here, and it's done, so we can start working."

Shen Chengyao nodded in agreement, then moved the Eight Immortals Table out of the bullock cart, and placed it in the middle of the open space where the house was to be built, facing today's auspicious position.

Mrs. Liu also took out the offerings one by one and arranged them. The offerings included chicken, fish, pig's head, sweet glutinous rice balls, birthday buns, lily syrup, apples, oranges, grapefruits, and vegetarian dishes. This house lives to perfection.

Mrs. Liu lit the joss sticks, poured tea and wine, and began to worship, first in the middle of the house, and then moved the table of eight immortals to the four corners of the house, and worshiped one by one.After paying homage to the foundation, I went to pay homage to two hilltops. Foreman Liang dug a shovelful of mud in the ground with a shovel, "Good luck!"

Shen Chengyao lit the firecrackers, and it was done.

The workers hired to build the house had to pay for their meals, and Mrs. Liu couldn't handle the meals for these dozens of people alone, so she invited Mrs. Lu and Xu Wenhui to help.

Xu Wenhui knew that she was very happy to ask her to help with the cooking, and she kept thanking her. Mrs. Liu knew that she was alone and had a difficult life, so she wanted to help. Knowing that the fourth uncle's family also has more places to spend money and less place to earn money, now that my family can say that they are not short of money because of pearls and ginseng, no matter what happens, they will not give her less wages.

When there is any major event in the village, many people will come out to watch the excitement, not to mention that now the wasteland is being reclaimed, almost every household is out to reclaim the wasteland, so there are many people around Mr. Shen, and everyone praises Mr. Shen's descendants. There was a grocery store in the town, and the second-bedroom family heard that they were going to the south to do big business. The third-bedroom family bought all this wasteland at once and built a new house.The old man was so flattered that his face was full of smiles, and he never closed his mouth once he opened it.

Recently, Mrs. Li has been showing off everywhere that Shen Chengzong followed his natal brother-in-law to the south to do business, and when he comes back, her family will also build a big house.

After the construction started, Shen Chengyao got on the bullock cart and prepared to go to the town to buy vegetables, and Xiaoer also went with her. There were a lot of vegetables in her space, and it would be a while before they were eaten, so she also went with her, and then looked for opportunities to eat them. Vegetables shipped out.

"Father, go buy meat first. I'll see if there are any good dishes here. Come to this street to pick me up after you finish shopping."

"Okay, then be careful yourself."

"Well, I will."

Their family had just separated, and the vegetables grown in the vegetable garden were definitely not enough to supply so many people. Xiaoer took a look at the vegetables in the vegetable market, then found an empty alley, and took the mustard greens and spinach in the space. Two baskets came out, and then she took out a sack of radishes, half a sack of chestnuts, and caught two pheasants. Last time, a pair of pheasants were caught, and there are already many pheasants in the space. She put the radishes and chestnuts on the basket , and then dragged two baskets of vegetables out of the alley, and stood on the side of the road waiting for Shen Chengyao.

Shen Chengyao came back soon. Besides meat, he also bought some seasonings such as rice noodles and oil, salt and soy sauce.

Seeing that the vegetables Xiaoer bought were so juicy, she praised them: "I never thought I could buy such juicy vegetables now, how much is it per catty?"

"Two pennies. These two baskets of vegetables are the best vegetables on the street. Originally, the old man sold them for three pennies per catty. I bought them all and it was only a penny cheaper. I also bought two pheasants."

"Xiao'er is really capable. It just so happens that today's good meat is sold out, and I only bought five catties of meat, plus two pheasants. It's just right." Shen Chengyao put the vegetables on the ox cart and hurried back to the village. They have to be cleaned and cooked after they are bought back, and any delay will delay the workers' meals.

Back at the head of the village, Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Lu and Xu Wenhui went to the stream to wash the ingredients, while Shen Chengyao went to build a temporary stove. He only built one with earthen bricks. He built three in total, and then chopped them up A few bamboos were used to make a few bamboo rafts, and they were used as benches and tables for desks and dining tables.

After the lunch was ready, Mrs. Liu gave Jingrui a large bowl of food, and asked him to deliver it to Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen Zhuang. Their family built a house to cook a lot of food, a large bowl of white rice, and a large bowl of corn buns , There are also two kinds of meat dishes, stir-fried chicken with chestnuts, stewed radish with sliced ​​meat, mapo tofu, and mustard greens in soup.More than a dozen workers called the master to be kind. Not only did they pay more, but also the food was sufficient. They had never eaten so much oil, so much meat, and it was very delicious. Look at those pots with a grain of rice and a drop of rice. You will know when there is no vegetable juice left.

After eating, everyone went to dig the foundation. Shen Chengyao asked them to rest and they didn't want to rest. This host is kind, and they have to work harder. These are honest and kind people, and they know how to treat people with their hearts.
