The cupboards, tables, chairs and benches in the kitchen are all ready, and the stove has also been built. It is a double-eye stove, and a layer of white square tiles is covered on the outside. The difference is that the coal stove is built inside the stove.
The three of them looked around and then went to check in other rooms.
The old man's room was left in the east wing, with the bed and cabinets already built. There was a guest room and a study in the west wing. The entrance to the cellar was left in the corner room, which was about forty to fifty square meters, with a circle of wooden shelves against the wall.
The three of them looked around and found that the house was clean inside and out, and there was no need to clean at all.
When the three of them came out of the cellar, they heard someone knocking on the door. It was Yang Dongmei's voice.
Yang Chunyan walked quickly forward and opened the gate. She saw her standing at the door with a smile on her face and a slightly bulging belly. She held her hand and asked, "Is the child well behaved? Are you having morning sickness?"
"Be good, but don't eat anything too greasy. It makes you feel uncomfortable." Yang Dongmei looked at her with a smile, "I thought it was time for you to come. When I came out and saw the tractor parked outside, I knew it was you."
"We just arrived and were ready to clean. Everything was spotless, and we didn't even move the broom."
"You have to thank Sister Qiuxia for this. The couple came to help clean up right after they closed their stall. I couldn't persuade them to stop."
"Thank them later." Yang Chunyan pointed to the broom in the yard and said, "My grandfather made them. Let me bring two to your family and Qiuxia's family."
Yang Dongmei picked up one and said, "The brooms the old man made are really good, much more solid than those sold on the street."
Zhou's mother smiled happily, "He said the ones on the street are not as good as the ones he made at home, so you can use them. We have more at home."
Yang Dongmei smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Nian!"
"We are not strangers, why are you being so polite!" Zhou's mother asked again, "Your mother and the others haven't arrived yet?"
"My mom and husband have something to do and can't come. My eldest brother may take a while to arrive." Yang Dongmei saw the sleepy little Jiuer and touched his head happily. "I haven't seen you for only two months, and you've grown a lot."
"We look pretty much the same as before." Mother Zhou lowered her head and said to him, "Jiu'er, do you still recognize your aunt?"
Xiao Jiuer leaned in his arms and looked at Yang Dongmei who was looking at him with a smile. He turned his head away embarrassedly and nestled in her arms.
"Go to your aunt's place. She bought you a bus, a car, and a doll..." Yang Dongmei listed a series of toys and asked them to go play next door.
"Wait for me to bring the things I brought for you." Yang Chunyan pointed to the bag on the steps, "I brought you a can of pickled cowpeas. We will start making bean paste in a few days. I will make an extra can and bring it to you then."
Yang Dongmei smiled and nodded, "I'm just waiting to eat the ready-made food."
A few people walked to the gate of the courtyard, and Zhou Huaian picked up the dog lying there. "Yours is a coyote dog. I heard it's very good at guarding the house. Look, it's only ten days old, and it looks much bigger than ordinary dogs."
Yang Dongmei patted the dog's head happily and said, "Wang Zhen has prepared the doghouse and is waiting for you to bring the dog over."
Little Jiuer turned his head and looked at her, "Jiuer's little black!"
Zhou Huaian smiled and said, "My aunt's, our Da Huang is at home!"
Little Jiuer pouted, "Jiuer's little black!"
Yang Dongmei hurriedly coaxed him, "Okay, okay, Jiuer's little black!"
The two houses were separated by an alley, and it only took a few steps to reach the destination. Yang Dongmei opened the gate of the yard. There were many flowers and plants planted in the yard. There was also a grape trellis under the south wall. The seedlings were just planted this year, and the vines had not yet climbed to the top of the trellis.
Morning glories and red flowers shaped like five-pointed stars covered the shelves. They were red, purple and blue and looked very beautiful.
The sunflowers and dahlias of various colors are blooming in the flower beds. Yang Chunyan thinks these flowers are better because they bloom for a long time, look festive, and are easy to grow.
Zhou Huaian took the fire orchid and orchid grass he brought to her from the tractor, carried them into the yard, and placed them under the grape trellis. "Xiaomei, two pots of fire orchid and two pots of orchid grass. Grandpa said they don't like too much sun, so put them in a cooler place."
"Okay, just put it under the grape trellis." Yang Dongmei opened the door to the main room and warmly invited Zhou's mother to come in and sit down. She poured her some tea and brought her some fruits. Then she went to turn on the TV and went to get toys for Xiao Jiuer.
Xiao Jiuer was squatting at the door playing with the dog. When he saw the toy bus she brought, he immediately gave up on the dog, looked at her with sparkling eyes, put the toy bus on the ground, slid it back and forth a few times, and the bus drove away.
"Is it fun? There's a car, too. Your uncle picked it out for you."
"It's fun!" Little Jiuer chased after the toy bus, pressed the body of the bus, and started playing like she did.
Zhou Huaian, who was sitting in front of the tree stump tea table, thought it was much more fun than the clockwork frog, so he went over and competed with his son to play with it.
Seeing that Wang Zhen's family had a color TV, Zhou's mother asked Yang Chunyan in a low voice, "It will cost a lot, right?"
Yang Chunyan thought for a moment and said, "I heard it's imported and costs more than a thousand."
"It looks good, but it's too expensive." Zhou's mother pressed the sofa. "It's as soft as yours, but it feels warm after sitting for a while. It's not as comfortable as bamboo or rattan chairs."
Yang Dongmei smiled and said, "Grandpa also said that leather sofas are not as comfortable as chairs, so Wang Zhen bought him rattan chairs and bamboo chairs."
At this time, Wang Zhen walked in and saw Zhou Huaian and little Jiuer squatting on the steps playing with cars. He laughed and said, "You are so grown up, but you still snatch Jiuer's toys."
Seeing him coming back, Zhou Huaian put down the toy in his hand and looked at him with a smug look on his face, "Come here, let me show you my big mulberry yellow."
"Let me see how big it is?" Wang Zhen smiled and closed the gate.
Zhou Huaian took the big mulberry yellow out of the cloth bag, and Wang Zhen liked it at first sight, "Brother-in-law, you are so lucky, it's really the best of the best."
He turned it over and over, unable to let it go. "Last time I went to the provincial capital, I saw Boss Zheng had a flower that was a little smaller than this one, and the shape was not as good-looking as yours. Guess how much it cost?"
Zhou Huaian thought about the net weight of his dried flower, which was 16.7 jin (16.7 kg), which was 390 yuan per jin. If it was 20 jin, it would only be 7,000 to 8,000 yuan. "8,000?"
Wang Zhen smiled and said, "Nine thousand eight!"
Zhou's mother and Yang Dongmei looked at the Coriolus fungus he was holding with surprise. They didn't expect that a mushroom could be worth so much money.
Yang Chunyan suddenly remembered that in her previous life, after the millennium, a colleague picked up 18 kilograms of mulberry fungus and sold it for 100,000 yuan. After getting the money, she bought a commercial house in the county town. She felt that 9,800 yuan in this year was really much more valuable than in the future.
"Fuck~" Zhou Huaian looked at him in surprise, "Then this flower of mine must be worth tens of thousands, right?"
He keeps giving me money one after another. Could it be because I said last time that I would repair the mountain temple for him? I don’t know when I can start repairing the mountain temple for him?
I bought a big pig's head to worship the mountain god a few days ago. Now I can only buy a big pig's head to worship him on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Tens of thousands are no problem!" Wang Zhen smiled and put the Coriolus versicolor on the tea table. "You didn't expect that a single mushroom could earn you tens of thousands of yuan."
"I thought it would be only 7,000 or 8,000 yuan at most, but I didn't know it was so valuable." Zhou Huaian rubbed his hands happily, "Let's go to Brother Huang's for lunch. I'll treat you to whatever you like."
Wang Zhen smiled and said, "I have already made the reservation. You can treat me if you want to eat next time!"
Zhou Huaian suddenly remembered something, "Oh! I almost forgot, I still have to go to the market to buy some pig intestines. Grandpa said he wanted to eat fish with pig intestines."
Mother Zhou hurriedly said, "Youngest, you guys stay home and talk. I'll go buy it."
"That's great!" Zhou Huaian took out some money and stuffed it into her pocket. "Buy a pair of pig's trotters, some big bones, and a few bundles of tobacco leaves for the old man and the others. If you see anything you like, buy some more."
Zhou's mother took out the money to return it to him, "I have money..."
Zhou Huaian pointed at the big Coriolus versicolor proudly, "How many are there like this one?"
Mother Zhou glared at him and said, "Keep your voice down. Have you forgotten the principle of not showing off your wealth?"
Wang Zhen looked at the mother and son and thought of their experience of selling bezoars. He couldn't help but laugh, "Auntie is right. A little caution can catch a cicada for a thousand years, and a little caution can sail a boat for a thousand years."
Zhou's mother looked at him with disdain, "Look at Wang Zhen, a cultured person, he is different from you. All he does is show off and take advantage of others!"
"You dislike me when you see Wang Zhen." Zhou Huaian made a bitter face, put away the Coriolus versicolor and went to the main room.
Sister Yang Dongmei and Wang Zhen all laughed. Mother Zhou picked up the backpack and went to the market to buy things.
Wang Zhen said to Zhou Huaian and the others, "Boss Zheng said that the mushroom beef sauce and chicken mushroom oil we sent last time were delicious to customers. The only downside was that they thought the clay pots were not as hygienic as the glass bottles, which affected sales."
Zhou Huaian: "You said last time that sealing and filling requires a machine. When the power station is completed by the end of the year, please help me get a machine."
Yang Chunyan remembered that there was no glass products factory in the county. "Huaian, it's useless to have machinery and equipment without canning bottles!"
Wang Zhen smiled and said, "If there's no glassware factory in the county, there should be one in the city. I'll ask around when I get there."
"Yes, let's first find out about the cans, we still have time to order the equipment later." Zhou Huaian said, "I have already ordered the wine from Weimin, when will they come to get the truffle wine?"
"I'll come to pick up the goods next week. You guys should prepare. You don't need to fill them this time. Just bring the big vats over. Next time I come to pick up the goods, return the vats."
"It's better to just seal the big jar." Zhou Huaian thought about the wine he ordered this time. "The 50-proof sorghum wine has increased by 5 cents per pound. I'm afraid the price of the truffle wine will have to increase a bit next year."
Wang Zhen smiled and said, "As the price of raw materials has increased, the price of wine will of course increase a bit. I'll call them and let them know."
At this time, the sound of a tractor was heard outside. Yang Dongmei stood up with a smile, "Brother is here."
When they reached the door, they saw Yang Weiguo coming over with a bamboo basket. "There's a lot of snow on the sled at home, so I brought two baskets for you."
Zhou Huaian stepped forward to help lift it up, "Brother, the fruit trees on the mountain, the snow plow and white peaches taste good." (End of this chapter)
