Chapter 280 Many Hands Make Lighter
"Brother, are you telling the truth?" Feng Lizheng from Jingwan Village widened his eyes.
"Absolutely true." The village head lowered his voice in a mysterious tone, "I didn't say that, Master Xiaojiu said that!"
Li Zheng Feng was immediately excited. "What Master Xiaojiu said must be correct! I heard that the town has been full of people from other places who have come here to eat, drink and have fun these days. Could it be that these people will come to Heihe Village?"
The village head said, "They must come. The county magistrate must personally lead the people here!"
"Oh my god, what are we waiting for?!" Xu Lizheng's voice was so excited that he changed. "Let's get started!"
When tourists come to Heihe Village, the nearby villages will definitely benefit from it. This is obvious.
Xu Laoliu was very excited. He had only been the head of Jingui Village for half a year, but he didn't expect to encounter such a good thing so soon!
Li Zheng Feng also smiled and said, "Brother, we will listen to you! Just give us your orders!"
The village head said, "How about this? You two villages should build the stove first."
"Okay, how many do you want?"
The village head was stunned by the question. To be honest, he didn't know how many people would come.
When distributing porridge during the drought, four stoves were set up. However, distinguished guests were different from disaster victims. Disaster victims could wait, but guests could not.
The village head thought for a moment and said, "Let's build six first! Together with the seven stoves in the wooden shed, that should be enough!"
"No fight, no fight!" Little Dumpling hurried over, dragging his short legs along, holding out two little fingers. "I'm going to starve!"
"We need to build twenty stoves?" Feng Lizheng and Xu Li opened their mouths in surprise.
"Yes!" Xiao Jiuer smiled sweetly, "Go quickly!"
"Okay!" Feng Lizheng ordered the villagers of Jingwan Village, "Call all the laborers in the village! Complete the task quickly!"
"We in Jingui Village are doing the same thing! Call everyone over!" Xu Laoliu shouted. "If anyone doesn't come, I'll be furious! We were able to survive the snowstorm thanks to Heihe Village!"
After hearing the suona sound just now, they didn't know what had happened in Heihe Village, so they came in a hurry without bringing many people.
"Yes, do you want to be nice to her?" the little girl asked in a baby voice, tilting her head.
"Someone who cooks delicious food?"
The two village heads immediately understood that if twenty stoves were to be used at the same time, a lot of people would be needed.
And since you are cooking for distinguished guests, your cooking skills must be good.
"Call all the good cooks in the village and let Master Xiaojiu review them!" the two village heads ordered.
"Neighbors who are building stoves, come with me. The mud bricks are here!" Ye Yanping shouted from not far away.
Villagers from Jingwan Village and Jingui Village followed.
In a short while, the entrance of Heihe Village became busy.
Before long, people from other villages also arrived.
The sound of the suona in Heihe Village actually couldn't be heard that far. They spread it from one village to another, and eventually everyone in the surrounding area knew about it.
When these villagers arrived, they were shocked by the bustling scene.
Building a stove? Building a house?
Does this mean that disaster victims are coming?
As a loyal fan of Heihe Village, Dahuai Village was the first to ask, "Zhuang Lizheng, what are you doing?"
"Let me make it short!" the village head said loudly, "Heihe Village needs your help with some work. Are you willing to lend a hand?"
The heads of each village expressed their opinions one after another.
"Of course we'll help! Since Brother Zhuang has asked, why wouldn't we be reluctant?"
"It was Heihe Village that saved our lives during the snowstorm. We will always remember it!"
"Brother Zhuang, if you need us to do anything, just ask!"
"Brother Zhuang remembered me at the critical moment, that must mean he thinks highly of me!"
…
Each village expressed its sincerity.
Over the past month, horse-drawn carriages from the town have been coming to Heihe Village every few days. They heard that Heihe Village sold a lot of vegetables, and they were almost envious to death.
They dream of having closer relations with Heihe Village. To be honest, they are very happy that Heihe Village can call on them when there is something going on.
The village head was very satisfied with what he heard, and his back straightened up a lot. "Then I won't say polite words, everyone, please help build the house!"
At this time, cheers came from the side of the house being built. It turned out that the first mobile inn was completed.
Villagers from all over the place rushed to see it.
The house has only one floor, and the first impression it gives people is that it is grand and beautiful.
The blue brick exterior walls, carved windows, flying eaves and brackets are exquisite and elegant.
From the outside, it looks no different from the house of a wealthy family.
The strange thing is that this house was not built brick by brick from the foundation, but was built directly on the ground.
The villagers touched the outer wall out of curiosity and found that the blue bricks were not real blue bricks, but just looked like blue bricks.
The same goes for the floor of the house. It looks like a wooden floor, but it doesn't feel like wood.
As for what material it was made of, they couldn't say, they only knew that it felt hard and cold, like stone.
The villagers of Heihe Village have already learned it. They spontaneously divided into groups of more than ten or twenty people and set up the structure immediately.
Seeing that people from other villages had come to help, Ye Yan'an immediately selected dozens of people from the villagers of Heihe Village to teach people from the surrounding area how to build it.
"The tools and materials are all here. If you have any questions, just ask me!" Ye Yan'an said.
"Okay, let's get started!" Everyone was excited.
Many hands make light work. Each village divided the work and cooperated with each other. Some were responsible for moving materials, some for assembling them, and they were all busy and happy.
A quarter of an hour later, the Black Eagle Village arrived.
Thousands of people were mobilized, and the rustling footsteps raised up dust. The scene was spectacular.
"Boss, what do you need us to do?" The Black Eagle Village was as powerful as a tiger descending the mountain.
This is the first time the boss has asked the Black Eagle Village to come and do the work, so they have to perform well!
"Let's go build a house!" Xiao Jiuer pointed to the village entrance, "We need lots of houses here!"
"Okay!" The Black Eagle Village immediately joined in.
Ping pong.
Hulihuala.
Everyone is busy working day and night.
This is the largest gathering in Heihe Village.
Fortunately, the land at the entrance of the village is large enough, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate so many people.
The women of Heihe Village came out carrying buckets filled with washed and cut vegetables, and covered the buckets with lids to prevent dust.
Then some large floor-standing chopping boards were brought in from the village to use as cooking workbenches.
Then prepare the water and seasonings.
After the preparations were completed, women from Jingwan Village and Zhushan Village who were good at cooking also came.
The things women are responsible for may seem less tiring than those men are responsible for, but they are actually very tedious and complicated.
Yunniang was very busy as she was responsible for tonight's dishes.
She gathered the women who were in charge of cooking under the wooden shed and told them what was on the menu.
"Thirty dishes?!" The women were stunned.
They have never cooked these dishes before, and have never even seen the ingredients. Many dishes have different seasonings. How can they cook them?
Yunniang made a quick decision and said, "Don't panic, everyone. I'll show you how to make it right now! While I'm showing you, put all the ingredients and seasonings needed for each dish together. That way, you won't make any mistakes when you cook!"
