Daily life of ancient farmhouse

Chapter 84 Road repair

With the efforts of the village chief, the road construction was finally settled. At this time, a temporary shed was set up in the village, and a famous nearby chef was specially invited to cook for the workers. Ten people were hired for 30 minutes a day from the outer village to work, mainly from the mud factory to pull the yellow mud and sand and stones for road repair!

The piles of material piled up like a hill, and all the old and young men of the village went to see it. The road to be built is from Shao Kun's house all the way to the entrance of the village, with a Y-shaped link. One side is the official road and the other is the county road.

Four hundred and fifty taels got kickbacks from the county officials, and they could only build a section of the road. But it is enough in the village, and the whole village is staring at this money. If anyone destroys the great cause of the village, those women with strong fighting ability in the village can come to the door to smash his ancestors.

In order to avoid suspicion, the village chief specially invited a cashier to tell them where the four hundred and fifty taels were spent. Although most of the people in the village are illiterate, they have to ask the village chief for a penny to understand the price.

"Thirty dans of yellow mud and 500 wen." The accountant read.

The aunt in the village said: "Hey, no, when my family built the house, it was only 150 yuan for

ten dans . Why is this so expensive?" The yellow mud is first-class. The people in the mud factory said that it was used to build the city wall. They cost 200 wen and ten dan, which is because we used more and it was cheap."

Aunt Niu said: "It's definitely not affordable for you guys to bargain. Next time you call me, I'll be the best at bargaining."

The young man who bought the purchase was happy: "Auntie, this is what you said, and you won't regret it. If you can go, Then you won't have to worry about bargaining."

Aunt Niu said it casually just now, but she was dizzy when he held her head like that. Said: "Then don't worry, I go out to buy everything at the lowest price!"

The accountant heard that they were still chatting on the ground floor, cleared his throat and continued: "The gravel, 100 dan three taels of silver."

Aunt Niu said: "The stone field, I know, don't look at the gravel, just casually. Pretend. You can replace it with a big burden and do more."

The young man who bought the purchase turned his face into a dish: "Auntie, we can't pick it up."

Aunt Niu said with disgust: "You young people usually don't work. Where can I do this? Look at other villages, all the young men are as strong as a cow."

Just as he was talking, Goudan came and said, "Uncle the accountant, there are kohlrabi, fried bacon and fried vegetable balls."

These women's eyes lit up, since they didn't delay farming and let their men follow suit, they couldn't eat so well at home! Not for the 30 cents that day, at least I had a good meal, otherwise the good food and food would not be cheaper for others, and soon they all went to the village chief to sign up.

The village chief couldn't help but smile, the food was well cooked, and it really attracted everyone. If there are too many people to build the road, if there are too few people, it will be exhausted and unable to finish the job!

The village chief has been presiding over the road construction these days with the spirit of his youth. Several generations of village chiefs in this village have wanted to build the road. He presided over this matter. In the future, when the ancestral hall writes a credit book, it will definitely be a heavy stroke.

to the place to eat. There are many men standing holding bowls, squatting, and sitting on the ground.

Shao Kun was also there. He brought three bags of mixed grains for everyone to eat. The steamed steamed buns were soft and rich in flavor.

The problem of eating has been solved, otherwise so many men would have eaten a lot of money, and the village chief who had eaten was flustered. It became clear that this was not an easy task.

"Shao Kun, please give your opinion, how wide the road in our village is." The village chief is different from the past. Now the more he looks at Shao Kun, the more pleasing to the eye, and this attitude is not like his younger generation.

Shao Kun said: "Naturally, the wider the better."

"The money is not enough." The village chief said.

"Then build the width that two carriages can pass side by side." The

village chief nodded again and again.

The snow in the past few days has almost melted away. The village chief said: "I'll ask a master to figure out how to start the ground on that day. Let's move things while repairing!"

Shao Kun agreed, saying: "Start construction early, so that it can be linked with the day of transplanting and sowing." When it comes

to sowing, the village chief Said: "How do you clean up your land?" What was left in the past has to be cleaned up by a good person. Land reclamation is not an easy task.

Originally, many people in the village wanted to work for Shao Kun. But I'm afraid I won't be able to help with such a thing as building a road from the village.

Shao Kun said: "I want to go to a neighboring village to find some people, do you have any recommendations?" The

village chief said: "If you ask me, I will ask the right question. We are not the village chief Baigan for so many years. I know. You wait for me to think about it, and I will draw up a roster for you in the past few days." The

two were talking like this.

From a distance, I could see three village chiefs from nearby Baijia Village, Chenjia Village, and Wangshui Village coming over with ox carts.

These three villages are richer than Daniu Village, and the nearby villages also intermarry each other. This important matter of building roads in Daniu Village can't be hidden from them!

The head of Baijia Village is an old man, and the head of Chen Village is a bald middle-aged man. The village chief of Wangshui Village looked like a salesman of Dali Pills, with a string of walnut beads hanging around his neck and two Zhuanzhuan balls in his hand.

"Oh, brother Guan, your village is amazing, the roads are all repaired? It's really good brother management." The village chief of Wangshui Village praised when he saw it.

The village chief Chen said: "Yes!" The village chief

and Shao Kun stood together with a smile on their faces. They had never been so decent in their life: "Where, where!"

Among the young men who came to eat here, some of them came to work in their village.

"The village... the village chief is good!" The little old man from the village chief of the Bai family put his hands behind his back and looked

like he was inspecting: "You guys work hard and don't lose face to the Baijia village."

"Yes."

There are all kinds of steamed buns, bacon balls, and bacon balls. I am very emotional in my heart that this Daniu Village has really risen.

These village chiefs are the most far-sighted people in the village, and the benefits of building roads are obvious. It is easy to get in and out. I heard that Daniu Village also opens up the official road. At that time, they can take a rest at will, and they can also give a lot of money to people in the village to eat a light meal. On the other hand, together with the county seat, what a good thing!

Their village is obviously the richest, but it is not as good as the heart of Daniu Village.

Baijia Village Chief said: "I heard for a long time that your village market is very good, and now you are building a road, leaving us far behind. If we develop further, I am afraid that the name of "small county" will be lost. Spread the word." The

village chief said: "I don't dare to be."

The two village chiefs of Chenjia Village and Wangshui Village were stunned. If only they were so good. There must be a steady stream of money from the outside flowing to their village. They also have to go back to the village to mobilize the wealthy rich people in the village to donate more, and they also have to build roads.

The village chief of the Bai family recognized Shao Kun: "When will your food shop open?"

"Oh, you old man knows that you are gluttonous." The village chief of Wangshui Village laughed.

The village chief of Baijia Village said with emotion: "Thanks to my little grandson, I eat skewers and rice cakes every day, and I ate spicy fish twice last time. I brought some back. It's delicious!" Just enough to hook out the cravings, everyone hides at home in the winter and the cats can't eat in the winter. Now the weather is getting warmer and I want to eat again.

Shao Kun said: "Rice cakes and sausages are about to recover!" Everything they eat is hot. It's impossible to make it like a sauce fragrant, and the road construction in the village is unsanitary. Divide the rice cake into ten pieces. Grill sausages at home in front of the stove. Not sold separately, not dine-in... Mainly for hawkers and repeat customers.

The little old man from the village chief of the Bai family said: "Okay, then I will ask my grandson to come and buy it." The

village chief of the Chen family had never eaten, and said, "Is it really so delicious?"

The village chief of the Bai family nodded solemnly. He was also curious. Made up my mind to go back and buy it.

These village chiefs came to take a look, and when they saw it, they were eager to compare, and they were not far behind.

When everyone was chatting casually, they heard Goudan running back not far away and said, "Village Chief." After

this sound, the four of them responded at the same time. The three suddenly thought that they were not in their own village, so they all coughed to ease their embarrassment.

Goudan said to the village chief Guan: "Village chief, the big stone tablet in our village is back." The

village chief immediately said to Shao Kun: "Quick, let's go take a look." The

other three village chiefs were also a little curious, so they didn't need to say hello. : "What stone tablet, take a look." The three followed behind to the entrance of the village. Twenty or thirty people gathered around here, and someone in the crowd shouted, "The village chief is here."

Only then did everyone make way.

It is a large stone monument as tall as a person. The front is vigorously carved with three big characters, Daniu Village. On the back are the names of more than 100 households in their village, which is very spectacular at first glance.

"Hey, Shao Kun, where is my name, Li Sanshui." Each household can only write one name. It was on the stone tablet, and you can see it when you pass by.

Shao Kun pointed with one hand.

The woman was instantly elated: "Oh, it's great, I have to drag my boss to watch it together at night. Don't you know, you were so excited that you couldn't sleep for several days when you learned that you can go to fame and fame, saying that it is honoring the ancestors That's it!" The village chief is worthy of being a village chief. Let them not spend a penny, but also on the credit book!

"That's not right, the children and grandchildren can watch it. Where is Mao Xiao of my family?"

Shao Kun pointed.

This family was dissatisfied: "Why are you so far behind?" The

village chief cleared his throat: "The rankings are in no particular order." The other people repeatedly asked: "What about my

family?"

Although they don't know how to read, they have to memorize the position and use it when they are bragging in the future. They can't make mistakes, or make a joke!

The entrance to the village was lively, and the three village chiefs couldn't help giving a thumbs up to the village chief. They all felt that this move was too high. The most important thing for the villagers was money, followed by false reputation.

The village chief winked with a guilty conscience after receiving praise from his peers. This move was indeed the key to winning the approval of the whole village, but this move was what Shao Kun thought.
