Chapter 74 The whole village plays in the mud together



Following "Xu Shang's Grocery Store", another new program "Xu Shang's Clay Sculpture House" was launched under Xu Shang's podcast account.

Once it was launched, Xu Shang gained 300,000 fans, and the number of fans of Xu Shang's blog account was expected to reach 1.5 million.

In the video, Xu Shang is making a clay sculpture of Uchiha Sasuke, saying as he does so:

"I have received many messages backstage asking me to customize my clothes. I want to say something here. With my current status, my appearance fee is at least three or five hundred, if not tens of thousands. So it's not that I don't want to do the customization, but you can't afford the price!"

"But! I'm not that heartless! Every day, I will draw five lucky viewers from the comments under each video. I will make a customized clay sculpture for them for free!"

Xu Shang's words did not interfere with his work at all. Under the surprised gaze of the audience, the lump of mud seemed to be infused with soul by Xu Shang's hands. In a moment, a model of "Sasgei" appeared vividly in front of the camera.

"Awesome!"

"Even though I've always been badmouthing Xu Shang, I have to admit that he's damn versatile!"

"Emperor Xu is worthy of the title of Emperor! I, Wang Ergou, am willing to go through fire and water for the Emperor for generations!"

Of course, not everyone is impressed by this video. For example, a director named Kong has no idea how to evaluate this video.

I can only say...the clay figurines are really pretty good!

But you are here to participate in the Architecture Dreamer!

Could it be that I am out of date, and that nowadays one can call himself an "architect" by kneading mud?

While Xu Shang was getting very excited about kneading mud, the husband of Sister Jiang in the village was facing a serious crisis of losing his family status.

"We are not as short of money as before, why do we have to eat these?"

Sister Jiang looked at the two side dishes on the table with some disdain, one was stir-fried Chinese kale and the other was a small pickled vegetable.

Originally, our family had always lived like this, with simple meals and plain drinks. What good things could poor people eat?

But Sister Jiang clearly remembered that every time her husband saw her spend so much effort to make a variety of vegetarian dishes, his face would turn black, he would throw down his chopsticks and curse, "I work so hard outside, and now I get to eat this when I get home."

Now, it seems that the time has finally come for her to show her disgust.

That's right, since she is now a working person, and her husband has not received any work recently and is idle at home, so even if she is on leave today, it is the man who cooks.

After all, this is what her husband always says: "I work hard outside to earn money to support this family, but when I come home I can't even have a meal ready-made. What's the point of having you!"

The man lowered his head and picked up a piece of food, saying unconvincedly: "I will have a job in a few days. With my cooking skills, what you earn is nothing!"

"Oh, you're quite good! Didn't you say you were very good at laying tiles? Why didn't Brother Xu hire you?" The man was immediately speechless, and after a long while he managed to say, "That's because he has no vision!"

"If you have no ability, then you have no ability. How dare you say that Brother Xu has no vision!"

Sister Jiang sneered and said, "Everyone knows that Brother Xu has eyes like an eagle. If he says you have the ability, then you must have the ability. If he says someone doesn't have the ability, then that person just doesn't have the ability!"

The man finally got impatient, slapped the table and stood up and said:

"What do you mean I'm incompetent? I'm telling you, I don't want to go at all!"

"Do you think that construction work is a good job? It's tiring, dirty, and there's that... that, pollution caused by renovations, I'm not afraid to say that. And you still think it's some great golden rice bowl! You see, in a few days, I guarantee they will regret it!"

Just as the man was speaking passionately, there was a sudden aroma of meat. The man, who ate too light a diet, sniffed the scent and heard a knock on the door.

"Big sister! Is big sister home?"

"It's Aunt Six, what can I do for you?"

"Isn't this the meat stew we made at home today? I came here especially to bring you a bowl!"

Sister Jiang glanced at the large porcelain bowl in Sixth Aunt's hand. Inside was a large piece of stewed pork that was soft and fragrant. Although Tianya Village had undergone some changes due to Xu Shang's arrival, everyone still lived frugally. Even if they ate meat normally, they would only buy a few pounds of pork to stir-fry.

But today, Sixth Aunt is so generous that this bowl probably weighs more than half a pound.

"Sixth Aunt, why are you giving so much meat? Has your family become rich?"

"Hey, isn't our Zhuzi working with the construction team? He got paid the day before yesterday, and he gained more than ten pounds of weight in excitement. You see, he's such a spendthrift, he can't spend money like this, it's not good if he can't finish all the meat!"

Aunt Six expressed disdain on the surface, but her raised eyebrows and the smugness in her eyes clearly betrayed her true feelings.

She's clearly showing off!

The man in the room couldn't help but ask, "Didn't Dazhuzi just start working? Didn't they say that the salary will be paid monthly after signing the contract? Could it be that the contract is all a lie?"

Aunt Six was upset when she heard this and said, "Don't talk nonsense! How can a contract be a lie? This is overtime pay! Do you know what overtime pay is? Our Zhuzi said that overtime pay is three times the salary! It will be paid on the same day! Last week, he paid a hundred yuan just for overtime pay!"

After that, he put the large enamel bowl in Sister Jiang's hand and said with a smile: "Sister Jiang, you eat first. When you are done, just send the bowl to my house, and I will send another bowl to Xiaofang's house!"
