He simply refused to believe that people from their village were so unlucky!
You dig one ditch and you run into a huge rock; you dig two ditches and you still run into a rock!
Feng Da and Feng Er thought that if they encountered a rock, they could just go around it; they couldn't possibly be unable to avoid this one either.
The mountain in the east is not very high or big, and it can't compare with the high mountains on both sides of Ma Duck Lake. Naturally, the stones on the mountain can't compare with the stones in Ma Duck Lake either!
The men from the village mentally prepared themselves, gripping their shovels and hoes tighter, their eyes gleaming with fighting spirit.
In contrast, Xu Laosan was much more relaxed, jokingly saying, "It's alright, if we really encounter a big rock, we can just move it back to use as the foundation for our house."
"Or we could place it at the village entrance as a local treasure; our village doesn't have one yet."
Li Wu didn't think much of Xu Laosan's unreliability, but he didn't take it seriously either. Stones are like that; if you come across them, just dig them out. If they're buried too deep and hard to dig, then just go around them.
There are always more solutions than problems.
After the first day, about half of the bricks and tiles were delivered, with two trips a day. It was estimated that another two or three days would be enough.
The herbal medicine shop, with its more than ten rooms, consumed the most bricks and tiles, especially the floor, which needed to be paved with coarse bricks for easy cleaning. While the muddy ground was fine on ordinary days, the difference was particularly noticeable on rainy days!
Every step leaves a muddy mess, and every gait stirs up a patch of mud. Shanshui Village receives abundant rainfall, so it's essential to take preventative measures in advance.
The study only has three main rooms, plus a kitchen and a woodshed; the bricks and tiles brought back in one day are enough.
There are also more than ten people laying the foundation. Today, the drainage ditch has been dug to a preliminary level. Tomorrow, half of the people will go up the mountain to transport stones, and the other half will dig the foundation. The day after tomorrow, the two groups will switch places, and no one will say anything to the other.
Using stones to fill the foundation is sturdy and saves money. It also allows you to gradually clear away the stones from the mountain. Therefore, the foundations of the houses in the village are all made from stones found on their own mountains.
I'm willing to endure the fatigue.
The workers at the herbal medicine shop finished their work in high spirits. They had been working hard for four hours, but the time seemed to have flown by.
The work was done in a lively and bustling manner.
What's particularly amazing is that in the past, after working in the fields, they would be starving when they got home, but today, they didn't feel hungry at all. Could it be because they were well-fed?
No, not entirely. Washing and cleaning are different from farm work. After all, it's not physically demanding and doesn't require much effort, which is why they don't feel too hungry.
Zhao Lan thought that the herbal medicine shop was really suitable for women.
She looked at the women around her and suggested, "Let's grow medicinal herbs too. We don't have enough land, but we can clear it. The men in the family will be resting after planting the winter wheat, so we can clear the land and grow medicinal herbs!"
"I heard from Sister Shuiqing that Polygonum multiflorum can be planted in both spring and autumn. If we plant it this autumn, we can harvest it next autumn. With more medicinal herbs, won't our herbal medicine shop be even more prosperous?" Xu Ting stepped forward to share the news.
Aunt Wu exclaimed, "Selling the harvested medicinal herbs to Shuiqing means my family has work to do, and we don't have to worry about not being able to sell them. You can't find such a good thing even with a lantern!"
Now all they want to do is expand and expand the herbal medicine shop!
As Shui Qing said, we should strive to grow bigger and stronger to create brilliance.
A group of people were discussing happily when the person at the front saw the approaching figure and his expression immediately changed.
