Chapter 172 Solving the Fire Problem
After quickly fetching water to wash up, she also washed the cucumbers and apples. She found a small bamboo basket among the sundries and put them in a basin. She then fetched a basin of water and put the toiletries in the basket.

Seeing her head covering the footbath, holding a basin of water in her hand, and holding a small bamboo basket on her arm, Ding Dian, who was squatting at the door of the miscellaneous house, almost laughed.

Boss, don't look too funny!

"It's dawn! Get up and have breakfast!" Ding Shitou shouted.

Wake up the three sisters, let them wash up quickly, and eat this breakfast that cannot be seen by others before others come.

The three sisters also knew that there was no place to cook today, so they all obediently ate raw cucumbers and apples.

Fortunately, Ding Shitou still had some mung bean shortbread and mung bean cake that Ding Shitou brought back from Zhao Jian yesterday.

A few people blew out the oil lamps after eating, squatted at the door to watch the rain, and discussed how many houses could be built today.

But the new house was very humid just after it was built, and there was heavy rain again. Even if the house is paved, can it be lived in?
"No matter how damp it is, it's not a ruined temple that leaks rain. It's sure to live with hay." Ding Dian continued to comfort everyone.

"I'm more worried about whether the kitchen can be used today." Xiao Fu was thinking about cooking.

They can eat raw fruits and vegetables for breakfast, but what about lunch and evening?What do the workers eat?
"I've seen it. The big and small stoves in the kitchen were built yesterday. Today, I asked Uncle Chen Liu if I could make a few braziers in the kitchen to speed up the drying of the house."

Ding Shitou stretched out his palm to catch the raindrops under the eaves, feeling that the rain was getting lighter, and couldn't help but feel happy.

"If the kitchen can be used, I won't be afraid of rain for many days." Xiao Fu became happy.

"Well, the stove can be used by building it up, but we don't have dry firewood, so I'm afraid it won't work." Ding Shitou suddenly smiled wryly, forgetting about it.

"Yes! Brother Huzi moved our firewood to the back alley last night. He said that the eaves in the back alley are wide, so it won't be drenched by the rain." Xiaofu said immediately after thinking about it.

Ding Shitou couldn't help laughing at Xiaofu who was excited because he had dry firewood.

Xiao Fu looked at the boss blankly, but Ding Shitou turned his head and stood up.

"Then let's eat pickled cabbage fish hot pot noodles today! Let everyone go home to eat dinner by themselves. There should be no work for Xiao Gong today."

Yesterday Jiang Huzi and his father cast two nets, and all the fish they caught were sent to Ding's house. There was only one big fish that was offered, and a few smaller ones were kept in the foot basin.

So as long as the fire problem is solved, there is still food to eat.

When everyone was happy, Ding Shitou suddenly took out the money bag and counted.

"Now that we have a kitchen, we need to add pots and chopsticks."

In the wallet is still the 22 taels of silver bills from yesterday, and there are 76 cash left in the 32 cash, so I can buy some eggs and bring them back.

"Boss, small money can be used. If it is more than ten taels, we can save it. Anyway, we have been making money recently. How can others know so clearly?"

Ding Dian suggested.

"Well, you keep the two taels. You have paid a deposit of one tael for the furniture, and you will receive the goods in two days. The remaining five taels will be added to other furniture slowly, as well as the tables and chairs for the village school, fifty cents a tael." Set, we have to pay half of the price, and there is a sand table."

Ding Shitou worked out the details, and handed over two banknotes of one tael to Ding Dian.

Sister Xiaofu hid all the change from selling vegetables at home. Ding Shitou only carried bank notes, so besides the 700 taels, she still had more than 30 taels.

Therefore, she went into the house and put 30 taels into the 700 taels of money bag and tied it carefully on her body.

When he left the house again, he saw Jiang Huzi coming over with a brown oil-paper umbrella in a coir raincoat.
