Farmhouse Golden Phoenix

Chapter 22

Su Jingsen looked up and saw that it was the piece between his land and the river. He took a bite of the steamed bun and asked a little vaguely, "What do you want that for?"

"Dig a pond." Su Qinghe said with a smile: "You can raise fish, grow lotus roots, and grow water chestnuts." Being next to the river can also change water, which has many benefits.

Su Jingsen shook her head with a smile: "Silly girl, do you still want to raise fish? What are you going to use to raise them? This is not just pretending to be a house wine. There are many things in it. Neither your father nor I know how to raise fish. How far away from the river is it?" It’s near, maybe one day the river water will be taken away by you.”

Besides, he had never seen anyone planting lotus roots before. They grow in the river, which is different from the ones on the ground.He can grow things that grow on the ground, but he won't dump things in the water. It's fine if he doesn't make any money, but don't lose everything.

Seeing that the people around were listening to them, Su Qinghe just pouted and picked up the scattered dishes on the ground.

In spring, there is really not much farm work, and everyone wants to come out to earn a little money, so there are quite a lot of people who come to Su's house to work and build houses, and the strength of the number of people is great. It's time to go to the beam.

Putting on the beams is a very important thing, and it is the most important thing in the whole process of building a house.

Early in the morning, Su Qinghe was called up by Mrs. Su Zhang. Today's lunch is going to be very rich, and it can be regarded as a reward for the workers who built the house. After all, after the beams are installed, the house is almost completed. .

"Fourth brother and sister, I taught Qingfang how to make bean sprouts. Her husband's family is not very rich." Su Li said to Su Zhang with a smile. Last month, Su Qingfang was married. The eldest son of Lizheng, Da Li Zhuang across the river.

Mrs. Su Zhang nodded with a smile, and didn't care. She told her sisters-in-law about the method of growing bean sprouts before to balance their minds. of.

Some gossiping women in the village came to the door from time to time to say something. Although the two sister-in-laws above didn't say much, if they had any money-making business in the future, it would be easy for people to get pink eye disease .

Besides, my man has also analyzed it. This bean sprouts look rare and can sell for a lot of money, but they don't have much technical content. As long as the ingenious daughter-in-law tries a few more times, she will definitely be able to make it.

For a little bit of petty profit, it's better to take it out, first let the sisters-in-law accept a little affection from their own family, and then disperse them in the village, even if they can't stop those people's mouths, at least they can earn some good popularity.

No matter what time it is, such things as favor and popularity are the most precious things, which cannot be bought with money.

"Let's just say it. Didn't I tell you at that time to make everyone's life easier? By the way, it will be time to deliver bean sprouts to the town in two days, right?" Mrs. Su Zhang asked with a smile. Both the old one and the second one's were sent directly to the Yang family's shop by Su Jingsen.

Su Li's eyes narrowed with a smile: "Well, it's almost time. This time I'd like to thank the fourth sibling. If it weren't for your method, we wouldn't be able to earn this money."

Mrs. Su Zhang didn't make a sound, so the bean sprouts were eaten fresh. The business must have been good in the first half a year, but after a while, they might not be able to make any money.Especially the Yang family's shop, which has soybeans and mung beans, probably won't buy bean sprouts anymore.

"Mother, when is the auspicious time?" Su Qinghe raised her head and asked, Su Zhang pinched her little face, calculated the time, nodded and said: "It's almost too soon, you hurry over and follow your father to occupy a place." Good place, pick up some more candies and peanuts later."

Su Qinghe curled her lips: "My father said, don't let me pick them up, and our family will be more blessed if those things are picked up by others."

Su Lishi laughed and said, "What your father said is true, but don't listen to your mother." Su Zhangshi smiled shyly, and gave Su Qinghe a push, telling her to go out and follow Su Jingsen.

Su Jingsen was holding a basket and carrying a wooden barrel.There were a lot of things in the basket, including peanuts, candies, small steamed buns, and occasionally three or five copper coins.In front of the new house, someone has already set up an altar.

Su Jingsen took out the offerings from the wooden barrel, a huge pig's head, a whole fish, a chicken, a duck, and a goose.This is the five animals, respecting the house gods of the five directions, and all kinds of dishes and fruits, respecting the lord of the three realms.

After Su Jingsen led Su Zhiping and Su Zhian to salute, Li Zheng, who was invited to be the host, put a pen on both ends of the beam.Then, two dragon and tiger people stepped forward to lift the beam and put it on the wall.

Su Qinghe watched with relish. In her previous life, she also knew that there was a sacrifice process for raising the beam, but at that time, the various processes were simplified. On the day of raising the beam, it was nothing more than setting off firecrackers and spreading candy. It's as complete as it is now.

After the main beam was stabilized, Su Jingsen put the five-grain color bags sent by relatives and friends in the middle of the beam, and said blessings and prayers again.After finishing speaking, he stood on the beam and threw the things in the basket down. The farther he threw, the more people picked up, which meant that the homeowner would be more blessed in the future.

"Throw beams to the east, and the sun will rise in the east." The craftsmen below shouted together. Following their shouts, Su Jingsen had to throw in corresponding directions, taking care of all four directions.

The peanuts were all fried by Su Zhang, and the steamed buns used a lot of white flour, so there were quite a few children scurrying around below, and even rushed to grab them, Su Jingsen laughed from ear to ear.

When he came down from the beam, Su Zhishan and Su Zhiyan led a few people, brought the tables and stools over, and prepared to set up the banquet.

A few days after the beams were installed, the new house was already built.

Su Jingsen deliberately went to Wangzhuang next door and invited a famous Fengshui expert to sprinkle grains in the house. After worshiping the gods and ghosts, they could move in.

After bidding farewell to Grandpa Su and Grandma Su, Su Jingsen returned to the new yard with a bullock cart pulling the bed.Su Qinghe walked around in various rooms excitedly. The layout of the courtyard was similar to the courtyards she had seen, but it was much simpler than the courtyards. There were no such things as screen walls, and there were only a few rooms in the southeast, north, and west.

There are three main rooms, with the main hall in the middle and bedrooms on the left and right.Su Jingsen and Su Zhang lived in the room on the left, while Su Qinghe lived in the room on the right.Below the bedroom on the left is the kitchen and two warehouses, the one next to the gate is for farm tools, and the one next to the kitchen is for grain.

The three rooms on the east side, that is, the rooms below Su Qinghe's room, are the rooms of Su Zhiping and Su Zhian. Because there are too many rooms in the house, Su Jingsen specially reserved a study room for the two brothers of the Su family.

There are two inverted rooms, and they have not been assigned to store things yet.The backyard is very big. Apart from the two huts, the cowshed and the carriage house, there is also a large open space which is the vegetable field that Su Jingsen specially left for his precious daughter.

Su Qinghe ran through all the rooms, and happily went back to find Su Jingsen and Su Zhangshi: "Father, my house is so sunny, I can see the backyard from the window, and I can plant some flowers behind the room."

The hut is behind the vegetable field, because the windows of the hut are open to the courtyard wall, so if Su Qinghe's room has windows open, it will definitely not smell bad.

Mrs. Su Zhang nodded with a smile: "Your grandma's house planted six o'clock red, a bunch of red, and henna. I'll get some seeds tomorrow, and you can just sprinkle them under the windows."

Su Qinghe rolled her eyes, and asked with a smile, "Are there any flowers that climb up the wall?"

"Of course there are. Uncle Zhai's family planted star flowers, which climbed on the wall. Where do you plan to plant them?" Mrs. Su Zhang casually asked while wiping the table and stools. Su Qinghe pointed to the outer courtyard wall: " We don’t have big trees in our house, so it must be hot in summer, and if we plant some of these, it won’t be so hot in summer.”

"Okay, turn around and find some seeds." Mrs. Su Zhang agreed with a nod. Seeing Su Jingsen going out with farm tools on her back, she hurriedly asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Look at the rice." After clearing the wasteland, Su Jingsen hurriedly led people to plant early rice. This is not rice, and there is no need to throw rice seedlings or anything. It is similar to planting wheat, and it can be sown directly.

Mrs. Su Zhang straightened up and said, "Then go to Butcher Zhang's house to cut some meat and come back. We will have dumplings at noon, and we will treat guests to celebrate tomorrow. Ask Butcher Zhang to bring some meat over early tomorrow morning. The pork belly will be thirty catties. I want some pork belly and lungs, some pig blood clots, and five catties of pork head meat."

Su Jingsen nodded again and again: "I see, don't worry, I must explain clearly to you, have you notified everyone who will be invited tomorrow?"

"I'll go for a walk later. My parents have notified me early, and they will definitely come tomorrow." Su Zhang responded with a smile. She had sent a letter to her family two days ago. There will be no delay.

"Father, wait for me, I'm going too." Su Qinghe quickly ran two steps to catch up with Su Jingsen, and Su Zhangshi shouted from behind: "Xiaohe, come back! Wipe everything in your house! See what you want Such cabinets and tables!"

Su Qinghe pretended not to hear, anyway, furniture is still far away, come back tonight, everyone can discuss it together.

"Father, I said last time that I bought the land by the river, did you agree?" Su Qinghe grabbed Su Jingsen's arm, looked up at him with expectation, and Su Jingsen touched his chin: "Didn't you agree?" Speaking of which, is it useless to buy it? No one in our family knows how to raise fish.”

"I know, Dad, I have learned more words in the past two days, and I can understand a little bit of Qi Min's essential technique, which says how to raise fish." Su Qinghe rolled her eyes and said with a smile .
