Chapter 39 Uncle Jiu’s Generous

Move The sixth day of the seventh lunar month, Saturday.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Deng Shirong was preparing snacks at home. He wanted to invite Deng Yunfeng, the village prime minister, to have a drink.

The so-called Xiangtou is the name given to the great workers in construction in the realm of Shuangwang.

Deng Shirong wanted to build a new house, so naturally he had to find a fortune teller to coordinate the overall situation and help him estimate how much the house he wanted to build would cost so that he could have a clear idea of ​​the cost.

Now, Deng Shirong's system space contains ten pig buttocks weighing about ten pounds, ten braised pork belly weighing about fifteen pounds, ten pieces of five-flavor pork weighing about one pound and eight ounces, ten pieces of five-flavor pork weighing about one pound and thirty ounces, and ten pieces of pork weighing about two pounds.

It can be said that meat was extremely abundant.

Today, in order to entertain Prime Minister Deng Yunfeng, Deng Shirong cut two pounds of braised pork to make taro braised pork, and took out another piece of pork to make yellow fried pork. He also peeled the bone of a pig's buttocks to stew soup, and paired it with fried peanuts and other seasonal vegetables. It was a very sumptuous dinner.

Because he was notified in advance, Deng Yunfeng came over with a small basket of eggs around five in the afternoon.

As soon as Deng Yunfeng entered the house, a strong aroma hit his nose, which perked him up and he shouted loudly: "Uncle Jiu, what delicious food are you cooking? Why does it smell so good?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "I'm steaming the taro dumplings. They're almost done."

Deng Yunfeng's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "It's actually taro buckwheat. Looks like I'm in for a treat today. These are eggs laid by our old hen. Uncle Jiu, keep them for yourself."

Deng Shirong took the eggs, put them on the table, and said, "You, I just asked you to come over for a drink, so you just need to come over. Why bring eggs? Remember to bring them back when you go back. My family doesn't need anything now."

Deng Yunfeng said politely: "How can I come here empty-handed? It's just a few eggs. Uncle Jiu, don't say anything more!"

Deng Shirong didn't mention it again, and nodded, "Okay, sit down and smoke a few cigarettes first, I'll go put the taro in the wok and stir-fry two more dishes and we can start drinking."

…

Ten minutes later, a table full of delicious dishes was placed on the table.

After Deng Shirong invited him to sit down, Deng Yunfeng asked, "Uncle Jiu, isn't Yuntai coming back for dinner?"

Deng Shirong poured wine while saying, "Normally, he eats at the tile factory at noon, and goes home to eat after work in the afternoon. But now the kiln is being fired at the tile factory, and he, the master in charge of controlling the temperature, has to watch over it all the time, so he can't go home to eat."

"Uncle Jiu, is this the first batch of goods fired by your tile factory?"

"Well, this is the first batch of goods burned after the tile factory was contracted. I hope everything goes well and we can make more money. Otherwise, we won't be able to build a new house."

When he heard Uncle Jiu mention building a house, Deng Yunfeng followed up the topic and asked, "Uncle Jiu, you asked me to come over for a drink this time. Is it because you want to ask about building a house?"

Deng Shirong smiled and nodded, then said, "Let's talk about building a house later. How about trying the food I cooked first?"

Deng Yunfeng smiled and said, "Okay, then I won't be polite. Uncle Jiu, your dish is so delicious and it makes me hungry. I have to try it carefully."

Next, there is no doubt that Deng Yunfeng was completely conquered by the food and wine on the table. It was the most delicious food he had ever tasted in decades. Every dish was so delicious, even the fried peanuts were crispier than those he had eaten before.

He couldn't stop eating.

Deng Yunfeng touched his stomach and said, "Uncle Jiu, your cooking skills are so good. The dishes you made are so delicious. I was so engrossed in eating that I even forgot what I was doing. I'm so sorry."

Deng Shirong picked up a peanut and put it into his mouth, chewing it slowly. Then he picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile, "Why should I be embarrassed? Eating and drinking should be the first priority. Once we are full and satisfied, we will have plenty of time to talk about things."

Deng Yunfeng picked up the wine bowl and clinked it with Uncle Jiu, and said with emotion: "Uncle Jiu, you really know how to enjoy life. Are you planning to build a new house for Yuntai and marry him a wife?"

Deng Shirong took a sip of wine, put down the wine bowl and said, "I am not only building a new house for Yuntai alone, but I am also going to build houses for all five sons at once. This will save a lot of trouble."

Deng Yunfeng was shocked when he heard this. Building new houses for five sons at once, Uncle Jiu's spending was really huge.

However, Deng Yunfeng also agreed with Uncle Jiu's statement. Building the house in one go would definitely save a lot of trouble than building it several times, but the cost would be much higher.

"Uncle Jiu, what do you want this new house to look like?"

At this time, the three younger ones, Deng Yunsong, Deng Yunhua and Deng Yunheng, had already eaten their fill and gone out to play.

As for Deng Yunzhu, she went out with a bowl of rice and hasn't come back yet. She must have shared the delicious food with her childhood friends.

At the dinner table, only Deng Yunzhen and Deng Yunheng were left, eating slowly while listening to their father chatting with Deng Yunfeng, the architect.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

When they heard Deng Yunfeng ask his father what he planned to build the house like, the siblings pricked up their ears, as they were also very curious about it.

Deng Shirong said: "I plan to build a big house with blue bricks and tiles."

Deng Yunfeng was shocked when he heard this. In the countryside nowadays, everyone lives in mud brick houses. Looking at the entire Bangjie Brigade, Uncle Jiu is definitely the first person who wants to build a big blue brick and tile house.

Deng Yunzhen and Deng Yunheng, brother and sister, were also shocked. They never expected that their father would want to build a large blue brick and tile house like the Shuangwang Supply and Marketing Cooperative. While the brother and sister were shocked, they couldn't help but feel excited.

Deng Yunfeng took a deep breath and asked, "Uncle Jiu, are you serious? Do you really want to build a new house with blue bricks and tiles?"

It's no wonder he asked this question. In this era, when building a house, people with better conditions would at most lay a circle of blue bricks on the foundation or at the door, and the entire house would be made of blue bricks. This has never happened in Bangjie Brigade.

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Of course it's true. I'll tell you my plan and requirements, and you can help me estimate how much it will cost."

Deng Yunfeng said seriously: "Okay, Uncle Jiu, you talk, I'm listening."

"My plan is to build the house in the shape of an inverted 7. The long one in the front is a row of five large houses. Each large house is about 90 square meters, with two bedrooms, a living room and a bathroom. The short one is built by the river, about 130 square meters, with three bedrooms, a living room, two bathrooms and a kitchen..."

Deng Shirong described in detail the layout of the house he had planned, leaving Deng Yunfeng and his siblings Deng Yunzhen and Deng Yunheng dumbfounded.

The building area is nearly 600 square meters. Not to mention that the Bangjie Brigade has never appeared there, even looking at the entire Shuangwang area, no one has ever heard of anyone building such a large house.
