Chapter 119



No matter what era, building a house is always a big deal.

According to the current market conditions, a skilled worker can get one yuan a day as wages, and those skilled workers only need to provide two meals to get their wages.

Su Wan prepared for a rainy day and took out various kinds of rice, flour and grains from the space early in the morning for use.

Of course, she pushed back all the rice, flour, grain and oil in bags on her bicycle in front of the Su family.

When Mrs. Su learned that Su Wan was going to use snow-white flour and white rice to entertain the construction workers, she stamped her feet with heartache.

He kept cursing, "This spendthrift, are you going to let the whole family go begging after you build the house?"

Su Wan had her own ideas in mind. She felt that only if everyone ate better and were fuller would they have more energy to work.

In this way, the house can be built faster and the family can be separated sooner.

Anyway, she had several bags of rice and flour in her space, so she was not worried about having no food to eat. She did not expect to be opposed by everyone.

Nowadays, people even dare to eat mixed noodles without any preparation, so who would be willing to eat only fine grains?

Besides, if this really happened every day, it would arouse everyone's suspicion and surprise.

We are all from the same village, and we only earn a few work points a year, so no one is better than the other.

They built a lot of houses, and they built five or six at a time.

Five or six houses are not enough, and they still eat pure white rice and white flour. Are they trying to make the whole village hate them?

What they said made sense, and Su Wan realized that she had not considered it carefully enough.

Finally, Xu Guixiang mixed half of the white flour with mixed noodles, and even mixed half of the rice with brown rice.

Cooking is the job of the women in the Su family.

Because Cao Xiaohua was pregnant, she worked with a few maids to do the easy work of picking and washing vegetables.

Old Mrs. Su is in charge of cooking the pot, which is a painful job in the hot summer.

Old Mrs. Su was sweating profusely from the heat and kept fanning herself with a fan.

Xu Guixiang and He Ailian were busy at the chopping board while the other was cooking.

Everyone had a clear division of labor, so even though there were a lot of people eating, they were able to handle it with ease.

Su Wanji went to the city every day to be in charge of purchasing.

Every day when she left, she would check on the rice, flour, grain and oil, and if she felt something was missing, she would move it out of the space when she was about to leave.

She would also take out some of the vegetables in the space.

Of course, she only dared to take out those seasonal vegetables. She sold all the out-of-season vegetables in the black market.

You know what, the price is pretty good. His vegetables and eggs are just like his, and people are lining up to buy them.

It's mainly things produced in the space, but the quality is guaranteed, and it also has health benefits.

Most of the people who can afford to buy things in black shops are wealthy, or at least they are not short of money. As long as the things are good, they will negotiate the price.

So she made about 200 yuan selling eggs and vegetables these days.

With money and confidence, Su Wan would bring home a piece of meat every day, risking being scolded by Old Madam Su for her evil deeds.

It was also convenient to buy meat in the black market. Su Wan would buy a lot every day. No matter how many people were eating, she would buy a pound of meat and put some meat flavor in the big pot of rice, which would taste better.

Xu Guixiang's knife skills were also excellent. She cut the meat into thin slices so that everyone could get at least a little bit of it in their bowl.

At this time, everyone was praising the Su family's good food.

The big guy was not lying, because these days no one can build a house for people to eat their fill in the open air, and no one can eat meat every day.

Now you need meat coupons to buy meat. Each person in the countryside only has three or two meat coupons per month. If you want to eat meat again after you have eaten all the meat, you can only go to the black market to buy expensive meat.

The Su family has meat in their lunch every day, which seems to be a good investment.

Seeing how generous the host was, everyone worked harder and no one dared to be lazy.

Because there were so many people, everyone was eager to buy, so the house was built in just half a month.

The total cost of building these six houses was just over five hundred dollars, and because they were built quickly, we saved a lot on labor alone.

Su Wan looked at the remaining money and discussed it with Xu Guixiang and Su Weiguo.

"Dad, Mom, why don't we just put up the wall?

We live at the very end, and the world is peaceful now, so it’s much safer to have a courtyard wall.”

Su Weiguo and his wife discussed it and thought what he said made sense, so they nodded in agreement. Anyway, they had spent so many days, so they might as well spend a little more.

Building a yard wall is much easier than building a house. It only takes two days.

Looking at these large brick and tile houses rising from the ground and the high courtyard walls, Su Wan breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally it was built.

She has to go to the city every day these days, which really makes her tired.

She didn't know whether it was because the weather was too hot or because she was busy all day, but her appetite had been getting worse recently.

Now, she only wants to eat some sour and spicy food and has no appetite for anything else.

Even so, she felt completely exhausted and just wanted to lie there lazily, not even a bit of energy.

Even Xu Guixiang noticed that something was wrong with her and asked her with concern where she felt uncomfortable.
