Domineering Peasant Girl is Not Easy To Mess With

   Chapter 44 Laying the Foundation

   So a few people are ready to start work.

   Today is the foundation of the courtyard wall.

After all, the ground is always a little uneven. You can't build a courtyard wall directly like this. You have to dig a shallow trench **** deep and more than one foot wide. The bottom of the trench is cleaned and pressed flat and firm. Just go up base with the shallow ditch.

   This job can be done by four people in one day.

  If you are still free in the afternoon, stop by the brick kiln maker to see how the bricks are made, and by the way, you will have to pay part of the transaction.

   I have to go to the village chief Zhao’s house and ask the village chief Zhao for help to tell each family. I originally said that I would come to help, but tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, there will be about thirty or forty people.

  The yard wall has to be built up, and the foundation of the house has to be prepared.

  Because of this special place, it is impossible for the house to be built directly on the ground. In this case, once the rainy season comes, the house will be too humid, and it is very likely that the rain will pour into the house.

   In the more than two months when the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, I was afraid that the thick snow would block all the doors when I woke up in the morning.

   So the foundation is generally about one meter above the ground. One layer of stone brick and one layer of clay compaction.

After   , the house can be built on the high foundation.

   This is a job that requires a lot of people and strength, and the four of them alone will get the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

   A day’s work passed in a blink of an eye. At about three o’clock in the afternoon, four people had already cleaned the foundation of a circle of courtyard walls.

   Gao Dashan, Ah Yuan saw that he had nothing to do and went back first.

   Gao Dashan was worried, and before leaving, he told them to be careful when entering the big forest, even if they were taking a familiar road.

   Mu Qingli and Mo Yun knew that what he said was aimed at "carrying stones" in the middle of the night, and thanked them with a smile.

  Mo Yunshen couldn't help but glanced at Mu Qingli, thinking that the lady who lied was the same as the truth...

   After the two went to the village chief's house to talk about the matter, they went to the house of Uncle Qin, a brick kiln maker, to transport some bricks.

   The bricks they need can be exchanged for six or seven hundred catties of meat, or they can be converted into a part of wild vegetables.

  Mu Qingli got about 20 hares and pheasants from the space, about a hundred jins, and filled two baskets full of bracken, bamboo shoots, yams and other wild vegetables, worth 50 jins of meat.

  The bricks may also be used tomorrow, so I will use the big turtle to carry them home.

   Neatly arrange the bricks in the big baskets. At one time, you can put six baskets on the turtle's back, more than 500 pieces, and transport them back and forth four times. At least it will be enough for tomorrow.

   Uncle Qin saw that the big turtle was so docile and capable, he couldn't help laughing with envy: "This is the big turtle from Dashan and A Yuan? Tsk tsk, it's really easy to use! How much trouble has been saved!"

   Mu Qingli and Mo Yun smiled deeply and did not correct him.

Mu Qingli only smiled and said: "Uncle, don't look at it as docile, in fact, it is extremely ferocious. While it is in a good mood, don't hurry up and bring it to work. If it is in a bad mood, do what you want. If you call it again, it will simply shrink its neck, tail and four feet, leaving a shell for you!"

   Uncle Qin laughed and said, "It's no wonder, it's just a tortoise, how can anyone listen to everything?"

"indeed!"

   Big Turtle glanced coolly at Uncle Qin when he heard the words, Uncle Qin's smile stopped, and he felt a little cold for no reason.

Is    an illusion? Uh, otherwise this big tortoise is really ferocious...

   He was suddenly a bit taboo, and subconsciously went far away and did not dare to approach.

   In addition to preparing bricks, there is also clay to be prepared.

   But this is not in a hurry, you can dig it when you use it tomorrow.

  The clay used for building houses in the village is the soil on the edge of the swamp, and there is a place where the soil is particularly sticky.

   As long as you are vigilant and don't disturb the swamp crocodile, there will be no accidents.

   With the great tortoise in hand, it is also very convenient to transport clay.

   A total of 37 people came the next day, including the four of them.

   In fact, everyone sympathized with Mo Yunshen and Mu Qingli, and secretly sighed and said that Mu Zhihong was not kind. In addition to receiving a sufficient amount of remuneration, he is very active in his work.

  Time waits for no one. If the rainy season comes and the house is not built, where will this family live? The rainy season is not a rainy day, it can last for a month and a half in a row.

   Wouldn’t it be pitiful if there was no place to live?

   Mu Qingli and Mo Yunshen were responsible for digging and transporting the clay, Gao Dashan and A Yuan led six people to build the courtyard walls, and the rest laid the foundation.

   Seeing those top-quality stones, everyone complimented them, saying that the walls of the courtyard must be strong.

  Clay is easy to dig. After all, it is close to the edge of the swamp and is very soft. Just pack it in baskets and let the big turtles carry it back.

  Xiao Ya'er and Miss Xiao Luan also rolled up their sleeves and eagerly helped.

  Therefore, the big turtle pulled the wind again and was praised by everyone.

   Many people couldn't help but half-truth and greeted Gao Dashan and A Yuan, saying that when they had some heavy work to do in the future, they also wanted to borrow a big tortoise from them.

   So the person who said this will get the cool and cold eyes of the big turtle.

   Lord Turtle said "Bah!" in his heart: Take the Lord as a coolie doing heavy work? Believe it or not, a fire can turn your house upside down.

   At the fierce look in Da Turtle's eyes, the speaker almost didn't tremble with fright, but the person on the side saw it, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak.

   Everyone looked at each other in dismay, thinking that this tortoise has really become a fine, no wonder it grows so big! Alas, what a wicked sect, why does it listen to Mu Qingli and the others like this...

   Not long after, my uncle Zhang Zishan also came.

   Mu Qingli and Mo Yunshen came back after transporting the clay, and hurriedly stepped forward and greeted them with a smile.

Zhang Zishan opened his eyes wide and exclaimed, "What a big turtle!", then came back to his senses and waved at them with a smile: "You guys are busy with your work, I'm here to help. I know you won't call me on purpose, Fortunately, I explained to my brother Zhang Cai, and it was he who gave me the message."

   Zhang Zishan said and greeted Zhang Cai, who was working, with a smile.

   Mu Qingli and Mo Yunshen then understood how he came so timely and thanked him with a smile.

   Zhang Zishan's eyes searched the crowd, but he didn't see Mu Zhihong and Mu Zhiwu, and no one from the two families came to help. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, feeling more and more pitiful for Mu Qingli and the others.

After two days of hard work, the foundation for building the house was finally rammed. It needed to be exposed to the sun for another two or three days, and a huge boulder was rolled on it several times every day before construction could start on the top. house.

  Otherwise, it is the rainy season and the snow season, and extreme weather is the most likely to erode the foundation.
