The pork was already cut into pieces before it was bought.
Plus, the weather was cold, so it didn't spoil even after three or four days.
Chi Qiao can handle the task of curing bacon all by herself.
When Chi Yu offered a helping hand, his thoughts remained scattered.
After the cured meat was ready, she looked around to make sure no one was outside the open door before whispering:
"Sister, now that I've already told people I'm going to open a general store, where do you think would be a good place for me to open it?"
Should we stay in our home or find somewhere else?
In our house, it would be placed in the main room, or we could build another room near the entrance.
Another point is, if you're going to open a shop, don't you need shelves?
"Shall I draw it out right now and then find a carpenter to make it?"
Because Chi Qiao was the main laborer, she was a little tired after marinating the meat.
Upon hearing this, he got up, walked to the door, and washed his hands with the water dripping from the eaves.
While massaging his lower back, he also looked around.
Finally, she pointed to the front gate and said:
"Later, I'll have your eldest and second eldest brothers build a wooden house and a kang (heated brick bed) at the gate."
Shelves are definitely needed, but we don't need to make too many; one is enough.
Small gadgets, I mean things like flint and steel, needles and thread, don't need to be displayed on the shelves.
Then we'll make a few kang tables, and then put a few large wicker baskets on them.
All those little trinkets will be put into the big basket later.
In this way, everything in the shop is immediately clear.
If anyone wants to buy something, just tell us and we'll get it for you.
Little Fish, remember this: don't let anyone get on the kang (heated brick bed).
Anyone who comes to the shop can sit and chat, but they can't get on the kang (heated brick bed), and they absolutely can't touch anything.
Chi Yu thought about the scene for a moment and understood that the eldest sister was going to set rules for the shop for everyone.
He immediately nodded: "Okay, I know what to do."
Sister, you take a rest. I'll go draw a shelf diagram and then go find Uncle He in a bit.
However, we don't have a large wicker basket at home, so we'll have to find someone to buy one.
"Uncle Fu is quite skilled; he also makes these kinds of things regularly."
When you go to see Uncle He, just buy two from his house on your way back.
"Okay, then sis, can you keep an eye on Zhuangzhuang for me?"
After saying this, Chi Yu hurriedly returned to her room.
When he came out again, he was holding a blueprint in his hand and wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat.
If it weren't for her back aching terribly, Chi Qiao wouldn't have felt comfortable letting Chi Yu go out in such heavy rain.
However, her younger sister has grown up and come to this era, becoming a divorced woman raising a child. She has to let go and allow her to grow up.
Therefore, when Chi Qiao saw that she had already walked into the rain, she simply instructed her:
"Little Fish, it's raining heavily, please be careful on your way."
Also, when you come back, go to my house and tell your older brother about the wooden house we're going to build near the gate.
"Okay, that's all I know!"
After saying this, Chi Yu went out in the heavy rain.
The rain in Chijia'ao was heavy, so heavy that it looked as if the sky had been punched with a huge hole, and water was pouring down relentlessly.
Chi Yu was wearing a straw raincoat and a large bamboo hat.
But before they could even get out, they were soaked in sweat, and their vision became blurry.
Even the deerskin boots with straw sandals on their feet were soaking in water.
The first step, or rather the first day, of this natural disaster has already caused such a situation in Chijia'ao, which is at such a high altitude. It's hard to imagine what it will be like for people in low-lying areas.
