A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Chapter 151 Are You Jealous?

In addition, he also bought several hundred kilograms of coarse flour and fine flour from the rice shop, and then mixed the two to make steamed buns with two-grain flour.

Because there is a workshop, there is no need to prepare oil, salt, sauce and vinegar specially. The shops in the town will send a batch to the workshop every few days, so you can just get them directly from the workshop.

In the past two days, we built a simple kitchen next to the foundation, built three stoves, and then moved the pots and pans at home here. When the time comes, we can cook for the workers here.

The day of construction.

Early in the morning, Zhang Yunyue helped Zhu prepare breakfast, and the family finished breakfast quickly.

Then, everyone started to move the prepared three animals, incense, candles, and firecrackers to the foundation next to them.

The flour, pots, pans, and other utensils that they had bought were also moved to the makeshift kitchen.

After all, once the construction starts, the hired women will start cooking. There will be many people eating, so the food has to be prepared in advance.

I had already made an agreement with several villagers two days ago, and during this period of time, I asked them to deliver vegetables to the kitchen every day, and the meat would be taken directly from the workshop every day.

Wait until the Zhang family moves all the prepared things to the foundation.

Foreman Luo also brought the Feng Shui master and his bricklayers to Lao Zhang's house in a donkey cart.

On the donkey cart were also their own house-building tools, bedding and pillows.

Zhang Cheng saw a donkey cart parked on the side of the road at the foundation. He guessed that it must be Foreman Luo and his men, so he walked forward quickly.

"Boss Luo, you're here, and you're really punctual. You said you'd arrive at 9:00 p.m., and ...

Foreman Luo: "Of course. It is the rule of our industry to keep our word. By the way, Brother Zhang, please take these brothers to find a place to build a temporary sleeping shed. We have brought our own bedding and pillows. Now we need some wood and planks."

"Foreman Luo, these are all ready and placed over there."

Zhang Cheng pointed in a direction. Foreman Luo looked in the direction Zhang Cheng pointed and saw that there were already a lot of wood and planks piled there.

"I've been busy preparing things these past two days, so I'll have to trouble Foreman Luo's men to build it themselves later."

"That's okay. We used to build it ourselves. All we have to do is prepare everything."

After he finished speaking, Foreman Luo turned around and spoke to the group of bricklayers under him, and they went directly to build the shed in the direction that Zhang Cheng had pointed.

"Brother Zhang, have you recruited all the people on your side?"

"Well, we found thirty-five people in total, plus the twenty or so people you brought, it's about sixty people."

"Okay, this number of people should be enough."

Here.

The Feng Shui master is directing Zhang Xingyun and Zhang Xinghao to place things in designated locations.

At this moment, the foundation was surrounded by villagers, and the voices of the villagers could be heard one after another.

"It's only been a few months, and the Zhang family is planning to build another house, and they've even bought such a large piece of land."

"Of course, look at that huge pile of bricks over there. How big a house can it be to build this? I don't know how much it will cost. Look, there are dozens of workers.

In my lifetime, I don’t expect to be able to build a blue brick house as big as the Zhang family’s. It would be fine if I could just build two blue brick and tile houses.”

The woman next to him cracked a melon seed in her hand, spit out the shell and said, "Then plant more peppers and peanuts next year. I heard that next year the Zhang family's workshop will have as many peppers as they want. I'm going to plant more tomorrow.

Besides, my family is planning to open up some wasteland to plant peppers. We have already planted some in the past two days. Anyway, you don’t need the best land to plant peppers. You can also open up some wasteland to plant peppers. Believe me, I am telling you this because we have the best relationship with you. "

After saying that, he gave the melon seeds in his hand to the woman next to him.

"Now that you mention it, oh, I will go home and discuss the land reclamation with my family. Thank you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have thought of this."

"Humph, I've heard about it a long time ago. I plan to plant peppers on all the land besides the grain I have to pay and the grain I eat, so I can save more money next year."

"Hey, don't say that, I thought so too, haha."

Among the villagers standing here, there are those who are envious and naturally those who are jealous.

Widow Li spitted, "Humph, they are the ones who have the most things to do every day. One moment they build a workshop, the next they build a house. They just show off every day, as if their family is so rich. They even want to build a blue brick and tile house. Ugh."

Zhang Gui's wife Guan had never liked Widow Li. She had been flirting with people in the village every day, and when she saw a man she would pounce on him like a vicious dog.

"Oh, you are jealous, some people are just surprised. They can't afford to repair their own houses, but they don't allow others to repair their houses. Besides, they didn't steal or rob anything, so you are bothering them."

The others who disliked Widow Li echoed, "That's right. They didn't steal your money to build the house. You're just getting jealous every day." After saying that, they deliberately spat on the ground.

The other women echoed: "That's right, that's right."

Widow Li saw that everyone was helping Guan, so she rolled her eyes at Guan and continued, "Did their family give you money or something? You are all so servile to help. I can't stand you servile people who fawn on others."

"We don't know whether they are lackeys or not. I only know that their workshop collects the crops grown in my field, so I can make money at home. We bought meat two days ago, and the old people and children were very happy to eat the meat.

Moreover, the head of my family works in a workshop and earns several hundred coins every month. If there were no workshop, where would I find these several hundred coins?

Besides, they didn't give me any less weight, so shouldn't I help them? I should say, "What's it to you?"

"She is so sour. She makes money by flirting with people every day and doesn't grow crops. Of course, she has nothing to sell to the Zhang family's workshop. If you ignore her, she will either flirt with people or gossip about others every day."

"That's right. Now almost everyone in the village works in the workshop. Everyone earns several hundred coins every month. Isn't she jealous?"

Everyone in the village knew what kind of person Widow Li was, so they scolded her a few times, and when they saw that she was speechless, they all stayed away from her. Anyway, almost no one in the village wanted to pay attention to her, so most of the time she set up the stage and sang and performed by herself.

Widow Li saw that the people around her were staying away from her, so she spat on the ground, then turned around and walked away.

When the women present saw Widow Li leave, they began to chat lively again.

In the middle of the Si hour.

Under the guidance of the Feng Shui master, the Zhang family officially started digging the foundation for their new house.

The people digging the foundation are all villagers recruited by Grandpa Zhang.

The people brought by Foreman Luo were still building the shed, but fortunately there were many of them, and they often went out to build houses, so they needed to build the shed themselves.

So the group built the shed quickly and had completed the shed where they would live in the future before dinner.
