Chapter 234 (1/2)
Zhang Man'er was washing dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen. Xue Yang came over and said in a clear voice, ”third sister-in-law.”
Today, he specially wore a worn-out clothes with several patches. Zhang Man'er looked up at him and understood in a trance: ”Xue Yang, what's the matter?”
”Third brother is not going to town, building a house is such a big thing, no man looking at it is not very convenient, dad asked me to help.” Xue Yang scratched his head. To tell the truth, he specially explained the meaning of old man Xue.
There's someone to help, but Xue Yang is reliable. Zhang Man'er can't help it.
”I'll trouble you. The salary is the same as theirs.”
Xue Yang was not very happy with Zhang Man'er's polite reaction. He was a little angry and said, ”sister-in-law, if you are so polite again, I will be angry. The whole family is so clear about what's paid and what's not. ”
Finish saying, he is carrying shovel, hoe, the air rushes toward the foundation there to walk.
Zhang Man'er looked at the tall and straight figure. He was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed.
This Xue Yang is quite interesting.
OK, no pay, no pay. When he gets married, just prepare a big gift.
The huge foundation is overgrown with weeds. It took two days to fill these uneven places with stones.
Xue Chuan still goes to work in the town every day. When he comes back in the evening, he will check the progress of his new house.
The salary for the villagers is 80 Wen a day, including a meal in the evening. After the dinner, Xue Chuan will tell them about the progress of Ming Dynasty.
And Zhang Man'er repeated revision of the drawings, give them a detailed explanation, according to the above style construction.
As for the purchase of earth bricks and sand and stone, Xue Chuan talked about it in the town. The shop assistants delivered the goods directly to the door, and Xue Yang inspected the goods on site. After supervision, Zhang Man'er paid for the goods.
As soon as Xue Chuan is free in the town these days, he goes out to find a suitable shop.
While Zhang Man'er checks the construction progress of the new house every day, he is also busy pickling wild garlic and salted duck eggs. The original empty kitchen is full of jars.
In order to ensure the taste of salted duck eggs, Zhang Man'er made two batches, one of which was instant. According to the method of the Dragon Boat Festival, he could eat them in ten days.
Another way is to dig yellow mud from the mountain, mash it into powder, put it in a porcelain basin, mix it with salt water to make a pile of yellow mud sauce, roll the duck eggs one by one, put them in a jar, seal them, and sell them in a month.
The salted duck eggs made in this way are really delicious, and the selling price is naturally more expensive.
At home, Zhang Man'er is busy every day. She wants to break herself into two parts and use them as two people.
After that, Zhang Man'er cooked a pot of honeysuckle tea, poured it into a wooden bucket, and walked to the new house.
It's hot. It's easy to sweat when doing some work. Drinking more herbal tea to prevent heatstroke can also quench thirst. Looking at these hot men who are drying in high temperature, they are all tanned with bare arms. Zhang Man'er sighs that it's not easy to earn money?
Especially Xue Yang, the original wheat skin, this will become bronze, less a touch of sunshine, more a touch of masculinity.
He was the first to see Zhang Man'er appear, happy ran over and said: ”third sister-in-law, how did you come.”
