happy apocalypse

Chapter 43 Building a New Home

Our family, both old and young, adapted very well after coming here, and they all had a very happy life.

However, Jiang Zhi and I, two middle-aged laborers, cannot be so leisurely.We still have a lot of unfinished plans.

Our plan is to first build a high brick wall and add another floor to the one-story bungalow at home; secondly, we will build a large shed in the backyard, a kitchen next to the warehouse, and a new type of stove in the kitchen; Finally, we want to dig a bigger ice cellar under the vegetable cellar.

We did some preparatory work for this.Jiang Zhi went to the brick factory in the county to bring back a lot of bricks, and asked his uncle to buy some good-quality wood. He found acquaintances and contacted the professional construction team in the county, and finally hired professionals who were idle at home. Cousin Lu Fang.

The first thing to be completed is to build the fence. This project does not have too high a technical content.In order to allow the villagers to accept us outsiders faster, I plan to find a few villagers who know masons in the village to do it.Now it is August, which is the slack season, so we asked my little uncle to find a few people for us to help build the courtyard wall.

Among the working villagers was Chen Cuihua, the young man who came to his aunt's house to sell millet and stretched out his head to say that the millet was not a mountain product.His name is Chen Ming, he is a cheerful and down-to-earth young man, he is not married yet, Jiang Zhi and I like him very much.

When working for us, he worked very hard, but he talked a little bit and had a lot of problems.

"Brother Jiang, why did you come from the city to buy a house in this corner of our mountain?"

"Brother Jiang, sister-in-law is really nice, beautiful and virtuous."

"Brother Jiang, your family is really strange. You brought the old people from both families when you came out to play. You are not afraid of fighting."

"Brother Jiang..."

Jiang Zhi would return to his question at the beginning, but then he saw that he was not playing anymore, so he ignored him, and he himself was quite happy to say it.

After I finished the dual practice with Jiang Zhi at night, I talked about Chen Ming with Jiang Zhi.

"Is this young man not bad? He observes things very finely and discovered my beauty that no one knows about." I had a beautiful day because I heard Chen Ming praise me for being beautiful today.Finally someone complimented me on my beauty.

"Are you glad he praised you?" Jiang Zhi said in a low voice under me.

I didn't realize that the danger was approaching me at all. "That's right, Chen Ming is good, let him come to our house one day, and we will treat him to a meal alone."

"You have to invite him to dinner alone." Jiang Zhi exuded a dangerous aura.

I finally found out that something was wrong. "I... I think he's pretty good, but husband, you are better than him. You are handsome and mighty, you have an extraordinary bearing, you respect your elders, you love the young, hey~ hey~ hey~ stop."

"Now I have also discovered that I am better than him. I love my wife like my life." After Jiang Zhi finished speaking, he suppressed my resistance with force.He also fixed me into "loving my husband like my life".

When I woke up the next day, I swore I would never praise another man in front of a man again.

Seeing that Chen Ming was also expressionless and not squinting, Jiang Zhi was very satisfied with my reaction, was the education last night a success?

The fence of our house was built very quickly. The few people my uncle found were relatively experienced and practical people who were willing to work hard. When the fence was completed, we specially set up a table in the yard in the evening. Of course, he did not forget to invite the more respected people in the village to the banquet.It's the first time our family has a banquet to treat guests, goodbye to the top of the mountain.

No matter what, the strong dragon can't overwhelm the local snake. For our future happiness and comfortable life, we still have some etiquette to enter.

Afterwards, we worked hard to build a greenhouse. This time, we did not hire any villagers. We hired professionals from the county to do it.Lu Fang asked us what requirements we had, and Jiang Zhi thought for a while and said: "Our requirements are very simple, we want the strongest and the cheapest." Lu Fang and the head of the engineering team almost fainted after hearing this, this request is simple Ah, can it be cheaper to be strong?
Later, Lu Fang gave us several plans with different prices.We consider that the winter will be too cold and there will always be heavy snowfall, so the skeleton of the greenhouse should be made of the strongest steel and covered with glass.They also asked them to add one floor to our house, and then built a small house next to the house as a kitchen.

This time, I made a request to Lu Fang: "The flue in the kitchen should go through every room in the house, and the stove should be built practically, beautifully and generously, and occupy a small area."

Lu Fang couldn't stand it and said to me: "Sister-in-law, why is your family like this? Is your request simple? It's not bad to just achieve one. It's too difficult for you to combine these advantages."

"Look, I don't think you are a professional, I don't mention these requirements for other people that he can't meet."

Lu Fang rolled her eyes at me in an unladylike manner, but she still took over the task.

She discussed with the masons of the engineering team how the stove should be built.The mason gave up after pondering for a long time, saying it was too difficult, so Lu Fang had to do it himself.

She closed the door and thought hard all day, and built an ingenious stove for me.The stove is 1.2 meters high, with two hearths. There are three eyes on the table, which are Shakuhachi, Erchi, and Erchisan. The two big eyes can enlarge the black pot for cooking, and the other smaller eye is in The middle of the two large pots is on the upper side, and a crock can be placed, and water is usually filled in the crock.When cooking, the flames will boil the water in the nearby earthen pot by the way.The hot water here can wash pots and dishes.

In order to facilitate the cleaning of the stove, the stove top is paved with black marble.The wall next to the stove is also tiled.Well, Lu Fang's technology is really good. The built-up stove is not only beautiful in appearance, but also very practical. The hearth for burning fire is easy to burn.And the chimney was erected higher, so that there is suction, and the bellows are not needed on the stove.I asked Jiang Zhi to experiment, and a dish was cooked in a few minutes, much faster than liquefied petroleum gas.

After the stove was built, it became popular in Tashan Village for a while, and basically every villager came to visit it.There are also several companies that have followed suit and built an identical stove.It turned out that people who came back from working outside always said that Lu Fang was a senior bricklayer after finishing college, so many old people in the village were not very proud of Lu Fang, thinking that she was worthless, but this time she is very popular in our village .

Finally, dig the ice cellar.This is my proposal. I want to have an ice cellar like the ancients, store ice in winter, and take it out and put it at home in summer, which can play a role in cooling down.If there is a drought and lack of water in summer, after the ice turns into water, you can still drink it or water the ground, which is great.

But when we actually wanted to dig an ice cellar, we encountered difficulties. There are no professionals in the county who can dig ice cellars, they can only dig cellars.

But it's okay, isn't there still a high-achieving student Lu Fang?But Lu Fang can say this time, she has no practical experience, only read in books.

I don't care about that, as long as someone can dig it.

Lu Fang told the person who dug the cellar the method of digging an ice cellar and the things to pay attention to, but they have never done it, and they have not seen the technique that Lu Fang said, so they don't understand.So Lu Fang had no choice but to go into battle again and do it herself. A few days later, I finally dug a [-]-square-meter ice cellar under the cellar, and I asked the workers to do double waterproofing and heat preservation.

I asked Lu Fang to supervise all the projects and ensure the quality of the projects.Lu Fang once protested to my cousin who only exploits people, saying that other people have wages, why should she, a senior technician, do a white job? I shamelessly said: "Little comrade, take a long-term view. , I have provided you with a once-in-a-lifetime internship opportunity. Look at the internship unit introduced by your school, which one can allow you rookies to take the lead and complete a project by yourself. So you have this way to reflect your ability and value You have to thank me for the opportunity. Besides, when it comes to money, you are too vulgar."

Lu Fang chased after me and said, "Cousin, I'm just a vulgar person, so let me be vulgar."

In the end of the world, it really made me say that Lu Fang dug ice cellars for many people because of his ice cellar technology, earning a lot of food.
