Chapter 50 Ancestral inheritance

"Xiao Lu, how are you? Do you have any difficulties?" The village head asked with a smile, stroking his beard.

Lu Jinnian replied, "No difficulties, the village head has already helped me solve the biggest difficulty. No one knows how to do these jobs."

She only remembered to ask two days ago, and it turned out that no one knew

how to do the work of a bricklayer. This is building a house. What if it collapses if it is not built well? That's a life.

So no one dared to take on too much responsibility, and could only shirk and say that they didn't know how to do this job.

The village head nodded, looking very happy.

"Okay, you guys are busy first. I will come to visit when the house is built." After saying that, he turned around and took Li Changqing away.

"Why is the village head here?"

"Who knows, is this kid related to the village head's family?"

For a while, the helpers were all guessing about the relationship between them, and some of them were still unpredictable.

Lu Jinnian understood that the village head could come to help her find someone today, and also said that he would come to visit, mainly because he was impressed by her natural supernatural power.

People are all smart, especially the head of the village, who can be said to be an old man. How could he not figure out what's going on?

Why would they help you for free and befriend you? They all have a purpose.

But she was not worried. As long as she knew the other party's intention, everyone would

get what they needed. With professional bricklayers, the work went very smoothly.

Because they were all from Lijiazhuang and had the head of the village to help them, the wages were much lower, 20 coins per person per day.

If they were working normally, they would get 50 to 80 coins a day.

If they went to the town or the city to work for a wealthy family, they would get more than 100 coins.

Lu Jinnian had never let these people down in terms of food, so everyone had no complaints and worked quickly and seriously.

The potato stewed pheasant for lunch was both hunger-resistant and filling.

"How do you make this meal? Why is it better than the food in the restaurant in the city?"

Today, someone finally couldn't help asking. The food they had during this period was very good, and they had never tasted so delicious.

Li Changhu also looked up, and was equally curious.

Apart from anything else, the food they had eaten in the past few days was the most delicious food they had ever eaten in their lives. It was hard to tell how it tasted different, but it was delicious anyway.

Li Changzhong curled his lips in disdain and mocked the person who was talking, "You've been to a restaurant? Who are you kidding!"

"I won't argue with you about anything else, but if you say you're going to eat noodles on the roadside, I'll believe you."

It's not that he looked down on anyone, but if you go to a restaurant or a big restaurant to eat, you can't sit down without three or five taels of silver.

Eating in that place can cost a year's worth of food money, and it's not something that ordinary people can go to.

Hearing this, the person was unhappy, "Li Changzhong, are you looking for trouble? Why haven't I been there! I work in the city and my boss took us there for dinner."

This kind of thing doesn't happen often, but they only give them food after they finish drinking. Although it's leftovers, the taste has left a lasting impression on him.

"Okay, okay, you've tried it, okay?" Li Changzhong seemed unwilling to argue with others, and was particularly helpless.

This made the man very angry, and he wanted to explain again, but then Lu Jinnian spoke.

"Everyone, you are curious about how I cook, but I can't tell you. My ancestors were chefs, and this is an ancestral skill. I really can't tell you."

After she said this nonsense, no one would ask more questions.

After all, it was a secret recipe, and secret recipes are valuable these days.

The anger was resolved, and no one said anything else. The cooking skills were really good, and the taste was much better than what was made at home.

In fact, some seasonings such as MSG were added, but in this era, there were no other seasonings except ginger, pepper and star anise.

There was no soy sauce, only soybean paste.

After dinner, everyone continued to work. The house was half built and the load-bearing pillars were buried.

Fortunately, Lu Jinnian was strong, otherwise it would take a whole day to make these pillars, cutting trees and peeling bark.

"Xiao Lu." Li Changhu saw that she was free, so he walked over and greeted her.

"Your house is quite dangerous. After building the house, hurry up and build the fence!"

His face was serious, making people feel that he was not joking.

Hearing this, Lu Jinnian asked, "What's wrong, Uncle Li?"

Although there are some bad people in this village, most of the time they dare not do anything wrong. Could there be bad people?

"It's spring, and there will be more wild animals soon. What if a wolf or bear that has been hungry for a whole winter comes down the mountain, you won't be the first to suffer?" Li Changhu also had good intentions.

Although the children have been very busy during this period, if they don't care about the fence, they will easily be attacked by wild animals.

After hearing this, Lu Jinnian understood and nodded solemnly.

"Uncle Li, don't worry. I know the seriousness of the matter!" She knew that she had to agree with others on some things.

Especially when it came to her own comfort, she had to take it seriously.

Seeing that she took it seriously, Li Changhu felt relieved to continue working.

No one would eat here in the evening. When it was getting dark, they would get paid and go home one after another.

Except for the first day, everyone got paid first and then worked. In the following days, they would get paid after the work was finished.

Because other families were like this, it didn't make sense to give you the money before you did the work.

Recently, the weather has warmed up, and more people have come to see the house.

The main reason was that they heard that the head of the village came to see the outsiders, and everyone was very curious.

The head of the village was the local emperor of the village, and no one dared to offend him. Some people couldn't even curry favor with him.

Lu Jinnian saw that everyone had left, so he went to look at the house.

Each room had been planned out, and the walls were half built. The rest could be done in one day tomorrow, and then the walls would be covered with yellow mud and reinforced.

Their rooms were all the same size, for the sake of fairness. Lu Jinnian was afraid that the children would cause trouble again when they reach puberty, so they had to separate them now.

Moreover, each room had windows, so the lighting was good.

She and Lu Jinxin were on one side, and the two brothers were on the other. In the middle was a living room, which was a little over 20 square meters, so it would be quite full if there was a table, chairs, and a small cabinet.

In addition, she built a kitchen outside, which was connected to her side, and there was also Lu Jinxin's kang.

That's right, she was going to build a kang. It was different from other places here, and it was warmer with a kang.

As for the kang holes for the two brothers, they were heated in the house, and they would heat the kang themselves in the future.

They were not children anymore, and they had to be responsible for their own lives if they didn't have to go to school.

Looking at the neat house, Lu Jinnian was very satisfied. Although it was very simple, there was still a long way to go in the future, and having a home would give you a warm feeling!

"Brother! Go back to eat." Lu Jinxin came over to call her, and she also looked at the house curiously.

This was their home, it was great.
