"What?!" Everyone was shocked: "Ms. Zhuzi, it really looks like a latrine when you say it like this. It's just that it's too inappropriate to build a latrine in such a magnificent courtyard?"

"That's right, isn't this too stinky?" Everyone disagreed.

Fengguo Village has shared latrines at the head and end of the village, so where is the need to bring the stinky latrines into the home?

"You guys don't understand this, do you?" Shui Sheng's daughter-in-law held the key for a while, and seeing everyone's doubts, she said, "Did you smell a bad smell when you entered the yard?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads in surprise: "It seems that I really don't smell the smell."

"Look, don't you have a big bucket of water in this hut? This bucket of water is used to flush the latrine. After each use, the dirty things can be washed out so that it doesn't stink." I told everyone what I learned about the latrine.

"Then this filthy thing washed down into the ground?" Someone asked in surprise.

"There is a cesspit outside this yard, and the filth from the latrines in the yard has been washed into the cesspit outside." Shuisheng's daughter-in-law said again.

When Su Kefang and Xiang Zirun proposed to build this toilet, Xiang Zirun took a lot of effort to calculate every detail of it, and only then did he determine the location of the cesspit.

"In this way, building a cesspit at home is not only not smelly, but also a lot more convenient, and you don't have to go to the hut in the village to compete with the big guys for fertilizer?" Everyone was pleasantly surprised: "Then can we also build such a cesspit at home? "

Setting up a cesspit at home can accomplish many things in one fell swoop, and everyone is eager to try.

"You have to ask Fang'er's man, or Fang'er's father. Fang'er's mother's family also built such a cesspit." Shuisheng's wife said.

But both of them built a courtyard in the yard, so the water is convenient. It is expensive to hire someone to dig a well here, and most people can't afford it. The water for flushing the latrine has to be brought back from the river. troublesome.

"Okay, let's ask Mrs. Lu later." The men in Fang'er always had an expression that strangers should not enter. They still prefer to ask Mrs. Lu, who is approachable, otherwise it would be okay to ask Su Peng, the chief of the village.

After visiting the inner courtyard of the Xiang family, everyone was speechless again.

"I don't think the courtyards of those big families in the county are as grand as the Xiang family." Everyone said.

Now everyone knows that the original Fu family was actually surnamed Xiang, but they don't know why they kept their names incognito.

"No, if I can stay here for a few nights, I would be willing to lose one or two years of my life." A woman said with emotion.

Su Kefang, who went into the inner courtyard to invite everyone to eat, couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Auntie, what you said is too exaggerated. As long as everyone works hard, it is not difficult to live in a tile-roofed house."

"I don't dare to think about living in a tile-roofed house. I just hope that everyone can be safe and sound, and there will be no more natural and man-made disasters." A woman sighed.

"Yeah, I think the same way, and I'm very satisfied now." Several other women echoed.

Shuisheng's daughter-in-law frowned, and joked at Su Kefang: "Fang'er, if you can find us more ways to make money, what's the trouble for the big guy to live in a tile-roofed house?"

"That's right, Fang'er, you are familiar with the county town, can you find a way for me?" When a woman was told by Shuisheng's daughter-in-law, she really moved her mind.

The folks have been supplying sweet potato chips to the candy shop in the county, but they don’t make much money. This storm destroyed all the crops in the field, and they will not be able to supply sweet potato chips to the candy shop in the county for a while. up

"That's right, Fang'er, if you have a way to make money, don't forget about us." One person opened his mouth, and the others were ready to move.

Shuisheng's daughter-in-law saw that her joke had caused Fang'er trouble, so she quickly blamed everyone: "Oh, don't you know Fang'er's temperament? son."

"Of course we know that Fang'er will not forget the folks when something good happens, so we just said it casually." When Shuisheng's daughter-in-law said it, everyone was a little embarrassed.

Fang'er has already helped the villagers a lot, and it is indeed a little too much for them to make these requests.

Su Kefang smiled, and said, "The food is already on the table, all the aunts are ready to take their seats."

"Okay, let's eat!" Everyone skipped this topic and said with a smile: "We are looking forward to your banquet, it must be very rich."

"I don't dare to say it's rich, but it's just enough!" Su Kefang joked.

As soon as Su Kefang finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter and walked to the outer courtyard together.

There are banquets in the countryside, and the wine table is nothing more than chicken, duck and fish, but these chickens, ducks and fish have passed through the hands of Su Kefang, Aunt Lu, and Dongmei. big.

"I heard from my man that Fang'er's cooking skills are good. Now that I taste it, it's really true." A woman said to the woman at the same table after tasting a piece of crispy duck slices.

"Well, it's really good. No wonder my son's father said that Fang'er's craftsmanship was passed down by the master chef of the county restaurant." Another woman also nodded.

Last year Yao's birthday banquet was hosted by many folks. These women were all greedy to death by what their men said, and now they can finally taste Fang'er's handicrafts.

In fact, Su Kefang only cooked four or five dishes today, and the rest were prepared by Aunt Lu, Dongmei, her sister-in-law, aunt, and cousin.

"If you have favorite dishes, you can ask Fang'er to teach you how to make them. Last time, I asked Fang'er to teach you how to make a few pastries, and I can make them for my grandson in the future." Shuisheng's daughter-in-law said with a smile.

This matter is simple, much easier than asking Fang Er to find a way to make money for the big guys, Fang Er will be happy to teach everyone.

The woman was laughing and talking about the exquisite dishes on the table, while the man had already started drinking.

Halfway through the meal, three large carriages came out of the Xiang's courtyard, and the courtyard door was not closed. The people who were having a banquet in the Xiang's courtyard immediately saw a few coachmen unloading a lot of brand new furniture.

Su Peng and the others recognized at a glance that the driver of the leading carriage was the one who brought food to them from Yangfeng City last time, and was Liu Changfeng's special driver.

It turned out that Liu Changfeng heard that the Xiang family was building a new house a while ago, and it was estimated that the construction would be completed soon, so he sent someone to make several sets of furniture and send them over.

Xiang Zirun greeted the driver with a few words and invited them to the banquet. They left without staying after the banquet.

The furniture Liu Changfeng sent were all made of high-quality wood. Xiang Zirun and Xiang Chenxiang placed a set of huanghuali wood tables and chairs in the main hall of the main courtyard, and the other sets were placed in several small halls. , and several small tables were placed by Su Kefang in the room where they lived.
