Chapter 23
If it was changed to before, the price would probably be higher, but now it is impossible. Gu Lizhi also asked the owner of the bookstore, and he said that there are more and more scholars copying books these days. Zhi's writing is really good, and he really doesn't want to invite people.

"Father, are there any books I can copy every day?" Gu Shu poked his head and looked at the books on the table, his eyes were like looking at another piece of fat.

Gu Lizhi paused, and patted his youngest son's head: "I hope Dad can have books to copy every day, so that life at home will be better and better."

In fact, it is impossible to copy books every day. The largest book shop in Xinyue Town is not particularly big, and reading is not particularly popular here. Where there are not many scholars, the voice of the book shop is naturally so-so.

If it was in Wan'an City, there would be books to copy in the book shop every day, but Xinyue Town is quite far from Wan'an City, and it would take a day to go back and forth.

"Okay, let's stop arguing with Dad and let him have a good rest." Gu Lian felt that as long as there was something to do, it would be fine, and with 150 characters per thousand characters, it would be enough for their small family to eat.

Wang held the pheasant and felt the meat on it. There was not much meat, but it was solid. She looked back at the children who were putting firewood in the yard, and thought about how to make the chicken well. It was hard. If you get a broiler chicken, you must make the chicken delicious.

Uncle Tie also went to the mountain in the morning, but he went to the mountain to chop wood, and when he came back, he left a piece of wood in the yard of Gu Lian's house, as if he wanted them to use it to make things.

"We have to borrow a saw for cutting wood, otherwise this wood can only be used as firewood here." Gu Lian thought about the wood in front of her, thinking that the iron pot in the house lacked a shelf, We had to make a shelf to put the iron pot on, so that the whole family could get together and put their hands on the wooden shelf to warm the fire.

"Sister, what are you going to do with this wood if you don't make firewood!" Gu Shu was a little confused, and touched the grain on the wood.

Gu Lian gave her younger brother a brainstorm, looked at the house opposite, the landlord should have a saw there, she thought of it, she walked to the opposite door and knocked on the door, the landlord Xiu Niang stuck out her head, and saw that it was Gu Lian. , walked out of the door with a smile on his face.

"Hey, what's the matter, little lady!"

"I want to ask my aunt to borrow a saw, but I don't know if your family has such a saw." Gu Lian replied with a smile.

When Xiuniang heard that she wanted to borrow the saw, she hesitated for a while, went back to the house, and took out the saw, but when she handed it over, she asked her in every possible way not to break the saw, if it was broken, the head of the house would definitely scold her.

"Ma'am, don't worry! I'm sure I won't break this saw. If I do, I'll pay you back." Gu Lian saw that the saw was very strong, and it couldn't be broken so easily.

After hearing her promise, Xiuniang finally let go of her heart, and watched Gu Lian enter the opposite door with a saw before closing the door.

Gu Lizhi, who was sitting in the room, looked at Gu Lian and the others who were tossing the wood in the yard, stretched out his head and shouted: "Kids, don't play with a saw, what if you cut your hands off?" .”

"Father, we're not playing. The iron pan we use for cooking is missing a shelf. I'm thinking about making it!" These days, it's better to save money by making it yourself. If you can make simple things, you can do it yourself. Save money, otherwise the wooden frame would have to be bought on the street, and the money would have to be spent again.

After sawing the wood into several sections, Gu Lian thought about the wooden frame she wanted to make, took the saw and started to work in full swing, sawing out the four fixed wooden bars of the frame, and freed out the four legs. All that's left is to connect them with iron nails.

Gu Zhu looked here for a while, and then went into the kitchen to help Mrs. Wang with her work. Gu Shu squatted down and watched with relish, and was able to help from time to time.

After knocking and beating for a long time, the wooden shelf for the iron pan was finally made. Gu Lian wiped the sweat from her forehead. Although the saw is sharp, it is really not easy to cut wood. Looking at the finished wooden shelf, She raised her feet and stood on it for a while, and found that there was no weak place, so she nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, the wooden frame is finished, Gu Xiaoshu put it into the house." Gu Lian put away the saw on the ground, looked at the sawn boards on the ground, and thought about the table in the house with missing arms and legs The stool, simply repaired all the things in the house.

Mrs. Wang plucked the feathers of the pheasant, and Gu Xiaoshu took some of the most beautiful tail hairs to make a key, and played there by himself, peeling the pheasant open. Before, all the intestines inside would be thrown away. But now I am not willing to throw it away, I put everything in the pottery bowl.

In the evening, the smell of meat wafted out from the kitchen, and Gu Lian had finished all her work, and all the remaining wood was used to make low benches, so she could sit on it at will.

Gu Lizhi was immersed in copying books, while Wang and the others were immersed in the discussion on how to fry the pheasant eighteen. It's a whole new look.

"A-Lian, when did you learn this skill! See if the bench is really well made, and the table is also ready, I was talking to your father yesterday, the wardrobe is not strong anymore, and the door panels are always stuck It rang." Looking at the wardrobe that had been repaired, Wang wiped off the water on his hands and touched it, with a happy face on his face.

I always feel that the second daughter is becoming more and more capable. It doesn't feel like raising a girl, but a capable boy.

"You'll know how to do it just by looking at it. There is no need to learn crafts. Anyway, the things at home can be used, and they don't pay attention to appearance. I have also repaired the table and stool. You can see what else you need to use. Wood, when the time comes, we will go to the mountain to drag a piece of wood back and make it ourselves." Gu Lian's hands-on skills are still good, although it is not as exquisite as carpentry, but it can still be used.

Gu Lizhi patted Gu Lian's head, smiling: "As long as it can be used, I don't care about my own things. A Lian will definitely be a good housekeeper in the future."

Everyone in the family praised her a few times, which made Gu Lian feel really embarrassed, her face, which was flushed by the wind, was a little hot.

"Oh, the chicken is still in the pot!" Mrs. Wang almost forgot the meat in the pot, and when she remembered, she hurriedly ran into the kitchen with her skirt in hand.
