Chapter 31 Nothing wrong

Although he had so much money in his hands all of a sudden, Jiang Youcheng was reluctant to go to the big restaurant in the county town for a meal. He just found a crowded small restaurant on the side street and ordered a few main dishes.

Braised fish, braised pork elbow, Kung Pao chicken, and the staple food is white rice, which you can refill for free after finishing.

The restaurant is not big, and the tables and chairs seem a bit old and simple, but it is probably a time-honored restaurant. The chef is skilled, and the dishes are cooked with rich sauces and are very flavorful.

This kind of dish is most suitable for farmers who do not often eat meat on weekdays.

Since Jiang Youcheng sat down and picked up his first chopsticks, he has been praising the chef's cooking skills. This is the fourth time he has done so.

The young son-in-law Song Jingyun was also enjoying the meal. The corners of his mouth were stained with sauce, but he didn't even bother to wipe it off.

But Jiang Mixia was a little troubled.

Even though she loves meat, the three dishes were all meat dishes with lots of sauce, which made her feel a little greasy. After finishing half a bowl of rice, she asked, "Dad, there's not a single leafy vegetable on the table..."

"Yes, isn't it?"

Jiang Youcheng picked up the coriander leaves used to garnish the braised fish and said, "It's so green."

Jiang Mixia, "..."

It is quite green and has leaves.

Overall, it was fine! After a while, the three dishes were devoured by the three people, and the rice was refilled three or four times.

When paying the bill, Jiang Youcheng packed up another lotus leaf chicken to take back as a side dish for Mrs. Liu.

When Jiang Youcheng came out of the restaurant, he still had the needlework basket hanging on his body.

A sewing basket is something that can be stored, so it’s not too late to sell it when you have no more.

He made so much money from selling pearls, but he felt uneasy carrying it in his pocket, so he decided not to stay in the county town any longer and rented a ox cart to go home.

When she got home, Mrs. Liu was extremely happy to learn that the pearl was sold for so much money.

For dinner, I specially made tomato egg drop soup, minced meat tofu, lotus leaf chicken, smashed cucumber, and steamed a pot of pure white flour scallion oil rolls.

The scallion oil is extremely fragrant, and the flower rolls are soft, tender, and fluffy, and they taste delicious.

Song Jingyun ate three large steamed buns.

"Your appetite has increased." Jiang Mixia joked.

"You said before that only by eating more can you gain strength, so you should eat more." Song Jingyun answered very seriously.

Jiang Mixia, "..."

Nothing wrong! The young son-in-law has indeed grown stronger visibly.

If he was a skinny little rib when I first met him, now...

Well, it should be the middle row with fat and thin sections.

The next day, Jiang Youcheng and Liu called Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun together to discuss the renovation of their house.

Jiang Youcheng meant that the walls of the two houses were still good, so they just needed to renovate the roofs, build two east wing rooms, and then build up the courtyard wall, and that would be almost done.

Jiang Mixia thought for a moment and said, "These two houses are actually quite old. They were built with blue bricks mixed with mud bricks. The blue bricks on the outside of the wall have turned pink due to wind and sun. I don't think they will last long. Even if the roof is repaired this time, the wall will have problems in a year or two."

"We are going to build a new house anyway, so we might as well tear down the old one and build a new one. We will build three rooms facing north and south, with the east and west rooms connected to the main room in the middle. We will build two rooms on the east side, one as a wing room and a kitchen. We will build two rooms on the west side, also as a wing room with a spare cowshed, in case we buy cows in the future. We can then repair the courtyard wall and the gate and everything will be ready."

"Building a house is hard work, so we might as well do it all at once, so that we don't have to build the house again later and have to lay the foundation and call for help, which is a hassle."

The tea garden will have a regular business in the future. You can go to the market on weekdays and be careful with your money. You won't have any trouble making money.

According to what Jiang Mixia said, if we repair these blue brick and tile houses and add some things inside, it would cost only more than ten taels of silver, which is affordable for the family.

Just like Jiang Mixia said, it's troublesome anyway, but it's worth the trouble to clean it up thoroughly, so that you can live comfortably in the future. Having more rooms can also be used to store weaving things and so on. Farmers have a lot of things, so more rooms are the best thing.

When Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun have children in the future, the children will have a ready-made house to live in, which will be convenient.

but……

Mrs. Liu was a little hesitant. "If we tear everything down and build a new house, where will we live while the new house is being built?"

Although it is summer now, it is common for many people to sleep in the yard to cool off, and their family can barely make do, but if it rains, it will always be inconvenient, as they can't go to someone else's house to take shelter from the rain.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"This is easy. We have a big yard, so when we build the house, we can build it in front of our current house. We can leave a gap in the old house that is big enough for opening the door. When the new house is built, we can build a wall around the old house and push it inward to make a backyard."

Jiang Mixia said, "When the time comes, we can make a chicken pen or a pig pen and put it in the small backyard to separate it from the front yard. It won't look dirty. As long as we clean it up carefully, there won't be any smell."

"That's a good idea." Jiang Youcheng nodded, "It won't delay either of us."

"Well, we don't have much land to begin with. We can raise more chickens and piglets, and then we can sell them for more money." Liu also nodded.

If the family is well off by then, they might sell eggs, pigs, etc. and keep them for themselves, saving money on buying other products.

As for feeding chickens and pigs, if there is not enough bran, you can be more diligent and dig more wild vegetables and cut more pig grass, and you will have everything.

After some discussion, the family decided to follow Jiang Mixia's suggestion.

Having made the decision, Jiang Youcheng didn't want to delay the matter, so he went to find his elder brother Jiang Youfu in the afternoon to discuss building a house at home.

Jiang Youfu is ten years older than Jiang Youcheng. He almost watched Jiang Youcheng grow up. Since the old man passed away, he has been like a father to him.

Jiang Youfu takes care of the third room, and Jiang Youcheng is willing to discuss many things with his eldest brother.

Besides, building a house is a big deal, and every detail has to be carefully planned out so nothing can go wrong. Having more people can also help avoid more mistakes.

The two brothers discussed for a long time, and then went to find the village head Jiang Zhengxin to ask him to help take the lead.

The head of the village is in charge of the village's taxes, household registration and other matters, and he has to manage all the trivial matters in an orderly manner. He cannot shirk these matters, and Jiang Youcheng's family has always been honest and has hardly ever caused any trouble. Jiang Zhengxin is also willing to do more to help such a family.

With Jiang Zhengxin's involvement, the construction of the house began in full swing.

Draw a simple house plan, ask villagers to help, and hire people from other villages if there are not enough people. Dig the foundation, pound the foundation, buy blue bricks, wood, tiles, dig soil, buy sand and lime...
