250 Renovation of the house 3

In fact, it was all Mu Xiu's credit. She stored a lot of water in the space. Mu Xiu secretly went to the ground every two days. Watering was simple for her, but it was the most arduous job for Chen Xuhui, who needed to use a ox cart to pull water one by one.

Mu Xiu had already made up his mind. The peanuts, sweet potatoes, corn and soybeans in the field were all ripe next month and were about to be harvested. The house should not have been built yet. Then, I will give these workers some money to help collect it.

In the morning, the twenty-something people mainly cleaned up the broken bricks and tiles after burning. In the past, they used blue bricks to build houses. They were broken and threw them to the side. Later, they lay a small stone path outside the door. Those burned beams can be used as firewood after being split.

On Mu Xiu's side, lunch has been prepared. Sister Chen's family is responsible for serving the rice, sister Liu's family is responsible for serving the dishes, and Mu Xiu is responsible for serving the soup.

"It's time to eat." After finishing the preparations, the Chen family's sister-in-law walked into the yard and shouted.

When everyone heard about eating, they did not immediately put down their work. At this time, Master Niu shouted, "It's time to eat." Everyone then put down their work, lined up, followed Master Niu, went to wash their hands first, and then each of them started to make meals with the two prepared bowls.

Everyone served a bowl of coarse grain rice, and the toppings of pork belly were filled with another bowl. Everyone held a bowl of rice and a bowl of vegetables, found a place, and started eating.

"Eat slowly, and keep adding it if there is not enough, and there is bone soup. After eating, drink the soup." Mu Xiu greeted.

"Mu Xiu, the person you found is really wise. In the past, I went to my cousin's house in the neighboring village to help. When it was time to start, a group of men rushed over with a smell of sweat. There were several others, like starving ghosts, who snatched the bowl and served the rice. If you don't wash your hands, you'll have sweat dripped into the rice bucket, and there's still soil mixed with it." The sister-in-law of the Chen family said with lingering fear. The scene is still in her mind.

"No, I have encountered it too. Everyone is fighting with food, yes, and they are cursing. In order to have a bite of food, they are about to start fighting." The elder sister of the Liu family deeply felt.

"This is all the master and his apprentice who are disciplined on weekdays. It is a regular construction team. It is incomparable to those who are temporarily gathered. What's more, when building houses on weekdays, the villagers help a lot. When they encounter one or two unreasonable people, the master's family can't say anything, and they can only become more and more chaotic." This is also the reason why Mu Xiu looked for the construction team from the beginning.

"When my family builds a house in the future, I will find a construction team. Look, the work is done neatly and the things are arranged neatly." said the Chen sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, let me serve another bowl of rice." A young voice rang out.

"Supply me a bowl, too."

These people ate too fast... More than twenty people lined up to get the meal before serving everyone. The three of them chatted briefly, and the person who made the meal at the beginning had already finished eating.

Another round of meal making has begun. These young men have amazing appetites, usually three to five bowls of rice.

"Girl, your dish is really served. Even we can't help but eat an extra bowl." Master Ma served a bowl of big bone soup and drank it with relish.

"Only after eating enough, you have the strength. Master Ma, let's have another bowl." Mu Xiu saw that Master Ma had finished drinking, and took the bowl and put it again.

"Girl, don't want it. Now that I have enough food, I have the energy to work. If I have too much food, I will lose my energy." Master Ma wiped his mouth and said to everyone who had eaten almost the same food: "Hurry up, rest for half an hour, and start work."

At this moment, Mu Xiu and the others had time to serve rice and started to eat. After everyone had rested and started working, they began to clean up the dishes, sweep the floor and smear the table, and began to prepare for dinner.

It was soon evening, and there were so many people that they worked quickly. It was expected that it would take five days to clean it up, but today it was only one day, and one-third of it had been cleaned up.

Mu Xiu prepared noodles for dinner. Sister Chen and sister Liu were rolling noodles all afternoon, using corn flour mixed with sweet potato noodles and white noodles. The noodles are not as delicious as white noodles at present, but in a few decades, this kind of noodles will be healthy food that many people in the city can't even eat.

Use the remaining bone soup at noon and the sauce is left with half of the sauce. The stuffy pig is poured into the water and poured on the noodles. It will be spicy and fragrant when you enter the mouth.

The workers were sweating all over, sucking spicy food, and couldn't help but eat another few bites.

In summer, it was dark late, after dinner, the workers worked for more than an hour until the sun set, and then they began to organize their tools and prepare to leave.

"Master Ma, this is today's wages, totaling five yuan." Mu Xiu said that the daily settlement was held.

"Girl, you're taking this seriously." Master Ma thought Mu Xiu was just saying that after all, there were only benefits and no harm for them.

"Of course you have to keep your word." Mu Xiu said with a smile.

"Okay, then we'll leave first." Master Ma was not a talkative person, and he took his apprentices who had been tired for a day and went back to rest.

Master Niu’s mother-in-law’s house is from Muxiu Village. However, Master Niu’s parents died early, and the couple had only his mother-in-law left, so they were taken to Master Niu’s house for care.

My mother-in-law's house is vacant all year round, and now it is their place to stay. Otherwise, I would have to spend a lot of time and energy on the way back and forth every day.

In the following days, Mu Xiu was very busy, and he only had three meals a day, and he was busy all over the place.

The dishes are actually similar every day, but for everyone, as long as they have meat every meal, it is the best meal.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Mu Xiu also cooked two large pots of mung bean soup and chrysanthemum and bamboo leaf tea every day to let the workers drink more water to relieve the heat. Otherwise, working in such a big sun every day would easily cause heat stroke.

Mu Xiu’s food is good, and it’s easy to pay for wages. Everyone works hard.

On the fifth day, we started to lay the foundation, and when we were drying the foundation, we started to build high walls. On the tenth day, the foundation was solid, we began to build bricks and build houses, and the walls were also built.

Through Master Niu's introduction, Mu Xiu found several carpenters to come to the home to measure the size and remade the furniture.

A row of large wardrobes in Mushui and his wife's room, which are two meters high and three meters wide, fill the entire wall. A large bed of two meters long and one meter wide is customized in the house. Xiaohua also customized a small bed, which can be connected to the big bed. Xiaohua can sleep even when she is six or seven years old. She ordered three dressing tables, one in Zhou Shuilian's room, and one in Muxiu and Muxiao's houses.

Mu Xiu's room is a little smaller, but the bed is also a big bed that is two meters long and one meter wide, and the wardrobe also occupies a wall.
