Originally, those who did manual labor had to eat one or two kilograms of food for each meal, but those dishes were so oily that they had less staple food.
Also because they had a good lunch, they were grateful and worked extra hard. Everyone spared no effort and worked hard.
By the time we finished work in the evening, the big pit that was originally planned to take a day and a half to dig was dug out in just one day, which can be said to have saved a lot of time.
By the next day, you can directly pour cement and lay bricks below. It may not take as long as you initially thought. It should be completed a day or two earlier.
So I put even more effort into this dinner, making a big pot of braised pork, cutting it into mahjong-sized pieces, and adding the offal and pork head braised at noon. It was a very satisfying meal.
At night, we prepared a separate room for them to rest. Since the weather was not cold, they could just spread out mats on the floor and sleep.
Su Qingxue was still worried that they would catch a cold in the middle of the night, so she specially took out the quilt that Zhou Huaian used to use at the educated youth camp and gave it to them. It was up to them whether to use it or not, but they must not catch a cold, otherwise it would delay their work.
Su Qingxue's actions deeply moved Master Zhao and the three or four people he brought with him.
It's not like they haven't worked in other places before, so how could they have met such a good boss who not only eats well but also worries about their sleep at night? He is really dedicated. When they worked in other places, they were lucky to have a few steamed buns to eat, and as for sleeping, they could even sleep directly in the woodshed.
So after Su Qingxue left, Master Zhao began to instruct the other people, "The boss is so kind and the salary is high, everyone should get up early tomorrow to work and try to help the boss finish the work as soon as possible to avoid delaying the boss's business."
“It should be.”
The other people nodded in agreement without hesitation. Since the boss cared so much about them, they would be helping if they did the job well and finished it early.
Su Qingxue really didn't have any idea of winning people's hearts at first. After all, seeing that others were working so hard and she had enough food, it was a natural thing to let them eat better.
Later, when I saw how hard they worked, I felt that they were so honest. I would feel sorry for these hardworking people if I didn't make a few more delicious dishes for them.
During the rest time at night, Zhou Huaian massaged Su Qingxue's shoulders and said, "Wife, you have worked really hard today."
"What's so hard about this? I didn't do any heavy work. I just cooked a meal for them. Besides, my children and I also need to eat. It's all our duty."
Originally, Master Zhao said that it would take about seven or eight days to build the ice cellar and the cellar, but looking at the speed at which they worked today, if the food could keep up, it might only take four or five days to complete.
Su Qingxue wasn't short of food, so she would definitely provide the meals and finish the work earlier so that she would feel better.
The most important thing is that she hasn't been to the cowshed to see Su's father and mother for almost 20 days. She really missed them a little bit, so she would go to see them as soon as she got ready.
Moreover, the vegetables in the backyard can be harvested again and stored in the cellar openly, so you don’t have to have an excuse to take out fresh vegetables to eat.
Although there were fresh vegetables grown in the hot springs during the Chinese New Year, it was nowhere near as convenient as it is now to get and eat them anytime.
Just as Su Qingxue had guessed, the cellar and ice cellar were built in about five days.
I can only say that he is worthy of being the master recommended by the team leader, and he makes her particularly satisfied.
On the surface, there is a square hole with a diameter of one meter. When you go down, it is two meters high. There is a five-square-meter cellar. Then a small door was opened in the cellar, and an ice cellar was built inside. The ice cellar is also five square meters. Although it is not very big, it is enough for a family.
Fortunately, the interior is entirely plastered with cement, and even load-bearing columns are left, so it is quite safe to walk around in it, and there is no need to worry about water leaks.
The total cost was more than 300 yuan. Although it was a lot, Su Zhiqing felt it was worth it.
At least there is a legitimate reason to take out the ice cubes that I stored in the winter and share them with everyone in the summer.
Every time I take it out to eat, I have to find various excuses to fool my two sons. It’s true that my sons are grown up and it’s hard to fool them. Now that I have this ice cellar, I don’t have to fool them anymore.
On the second day after the cellar was built, Su Qingxue went to the private plot at the educated youth's site and picked all the vegetables from the private plots divided among the three people and stored them in the cellar.
For those that are really too old, those that can be used to save seeds will be kept, and those that cannot be used to save seeds will be taken to the cowshed to feed cattle and sheep.
Su Qingxue also took this opportunity to secretly take a lot of things, hid them in a backpack and sent them to the cowshed. She did not take the children with her because they were too young and it would be bad if they accidentally let something slip.
He simply locked them up in the yard and went to the cowshed alone, carrying his belongings and various vegetable seedlings.
I deliberately chose to go there when there was no one around, so after I got in I could talk to them openly.
Father and Mother Su hadn't seen their daughter for a long time, so they were particularly enthusiastic to see her coming over. However, after seeing the milk powder and malted milk in the backpack, their faces turned a little unhappy. "There are so many children at home who need milk powder. Don't bring it all here. You should at least leave some for the children. We have enough food and drink here. You don't need to eat so well at your age. Take the milk powder and malted milk with you when you go back. Save them for my grandchildren."
