He pointed out a drawing to the fool and said, "What is this?"

The fool took one look and said: "This is the fire kang. It is used in winter. It can keep people warm. People will be very warm when sleeping on it."

Boss Chen is quite honest in his work. He will accept the jobs that he can do, but he will definitely not accept the ones that cannot. He pointed at the drawing of the fire kang and said: "This is my first time coming into contact with this thing. I don't know what it looks like inside?"

The fool said: "It's okay. I know how to build a house. If you have any questions, just ask me."

Boss Chen looked at the fool and said, "You drew this."

The fool smiled and nodded and said, "I gave popsicles to rich families a few times, and I got some inspiration and wanted to build a house like this."

This is the first time that the Chen family boss has seen the fire kang. As far as he knows, no family in the city has this. However, he has a relatively peaceful personality. Since the fool said so, he will not expose what the fool said. People are beautiful. Money can be used to build a house. You can build whatever you want. People like them just need to work, but he still quite likes the drawings that the fool brought.

The fool took out two bags of silver from her pocket. She said to the boss of the Chen family: "Brother Chen, this is one hundred taels. If you give me a brick, will this silver be enough?"

The eldest son of the Chen family said: "If we don't invest so much money in bricks, we will build the main house first. We will invest as much as we need, and you will take back half of it first."

The fool said: "If you don't buy so many bricks, there is still money for the truck and labor. Spend these money first, and then ask me for it after you spend it."

Seeing how reasonable the fool was, the boss of the Chen family agreed, and then said, "Leave the drawings. I'll take a look at them tonight and calculate the specific materials."

At this time, the second child of the Chen family had already brought the drawings over. Although he was older than Fool, he was a few months younger than Cheng Feng, so he had to call Fool Sister-in-law. He looked at the drawing and said, "Sister-in-law, you are awesome." Yeah, this drawing is not ordinary. If this house is built in this style, it will definitely be grand, but it will also cost a lot of money."

The fool laughed when she heard this. The house she was going to build was called grand. She couldn't be more low-key in the painting. The surface of the house was very ordinary. She was afraid that living with her children in it would make people jealous. If they continue to do bad things, they will be able to build a decent house because these unreasonable people will never have such an idea.

The second eldest son of the Chen family looked at him but smiled without saying a word. He continued, "Sister-in-law, you are really rich."

The fool smiled and said: "I have no money, but my house really can't survive the winter anymore, so it must be built."

Everyone knows the condition of her house, so everyone understands that the fool is anxious to build a house. Others in the village don't know how much money the fool has. The old Chen family knows that the fool has made a lot of money. If the fool dares to build a house, it proves that the fool is a fool. If you have money, you can build a house.

Uncle Chen said: "Girl, you can rest assured that your house will be built by my eldest and second son. They have been building houses for others in cities and villages in the past few years. The owners of the houses they built are very satisfied."

The fool smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm going back first. If you need anything else, just come to my house and find me."

After the fool returned, she put the fermented bean curd and stinky tofu she had made into small jars. She calculated by herself that even if she had enough money to build a house, there would be nothing left. She had to find a way to earn more. It's hard to say how long she can do this for a little money and with a body like hers.

On the first day, I didn’t get much from selling bean curd. No one recognized this kind of thing, and no one was willing to buy a small jar and take it home to try it.

The fool was not discouraged. Everything was difficult at the beginning, and it was never that easy at the beginning. She could only tell everyone who sold things to her about fermented tofu and stinky tofu, and then let them taste it.

All the women left after tasting it. Only a few men tasted it and bought a few jars of fermented bean curd. She sold four jars of fermented bean curd in one day, all of which were small jars. Each jar could not be sold for much, so there was no business. It's as easy as you think, but don't be discouraged.

Brother Chen is a person who works hard. When he came home in the afternoon, there were already a lot of stacks of bricks in the yard. The fool looked at the people working in the yard and said, "Brother Chen, have you been busy all day?"

The boss of the Chen family said: "No, I found someone in the morning and the bricks were pulled back at noon. Now let's see how you lay the foundation."

The fool smiled and said, "Can you help me?"

The eldest son of the Chen family said: "No, but idiot, before we lay the foundation, your main house and woodshed will have to be demolished. Where will you live then?"

The fool smiled and said: "Brother Chen, I have already thought about it. I will move to a side house during this period."

The eldest son of the Chen family said: "The side room is just a warehouse for storing things. It is not warm inside, so you will be cold if you live in it now."

The fool smiled and said, "It's okay. You can help me build a stove in the side room when the time comes. I won't be afraid if it can keep me warm and cook."

The boss of the Chen family said: "Are you still going to the city to set up a stall and sell things tomorrow?"

The fool said: "Do you need me at home?"

The eldest son of the Chen family said, "Don't you want to pack up everything in the house?"

The fool suddenly thought of something: "Brother Chen, have you had lunch?"

The boss of the Chen family smiled and said, "Eat."

The fool asked: "Where to eat?"

The eldest son of the Chen family said: "Eat it at my house."

The fool said: "You guys watch me first and now I'm going to make dinner for you."

Idiot, it’s because she has too many things to do these days, and she doesn’t think carefully enough about many things. The purpose of building a house here is to provide food, and she stupidly went to the city to sell things today.

The eldest son of the Chen family said: "Today there are few people, but tomorrow there will be more people. If you can't cook for the crowd, let my mother do it and let them eat at my house."

The fool said, "I can cook dinner for you. I may ask my aunt to cook it for me at noon and in the morning. I will talk to my aunt later."

The eldest brother of the Chen family said with a smile: "Don't make dinner, let my mother do it. You go in and pack things first. This house will be demolished tomorrow morning."

The fool thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go find my aunt."

The fool carried half a bag of white noodles and some vegetables bought today to Aunt Chen.

When Aunt Chen saw that it was white flour, she said, "You don't need to feed these workers this white flour. Just give it to them. This is the food for every family building a house."

The fool said: "Auntie, let's eat for everyone. The work is very hard. I will buy the vegetables tomorrow, and then you help me cook. I will give you twenty coppers a day. You see, it's a lot less. I'm less. Add more.”

Aunt Chen said: "What kind of money do you want to give? No one can build a house without the help of a few cooks. I have nothing to do at home. What kind of money do you want to give me? You can go home and get busy. I will cook this meal."

The fool still handed the prepared money to his aunt: "Aunt, this is one month's money. If you don't accept it, I won't go to the city to set up a stall tomorrow. I will cook for them at home."

In the end, Aunt Chen had no choice but to take the money. She couldn't let the fool cook at home. Cheng Feng went in. It was not easy for the fool alone. How would he survive if he lost his way to make money.

I have to say that the Chen family are all good people.

The fool was at home for a while, and many villagers came to their house to watch the fun. She didn't recognize them, and she didn't talk to them. They were just curious to see how many bricks their family bought today.

A villager said: "Qing Liao, are you helping a fool's family build a house?"

The eldest son of the Chen family said: "Yes, Xiaosi wants to build a house. I will find someone to build it for her."

The villager asked again: "How much do these bricks cost?"

Chen Qingliao said: "About sixty taels."

The villager said: "Is it so expensive? This fool is really rich. How did she earn all this money?"

Chen Qingliao smiled and said nothing.

Chen Qingliao said to the fool: "I will help you clear out a place in the side house for you to live in. Then you can see where the stove is to be set up. I will find someone to put it up for you later."

The fool took out the key and opened the door. The side room was a bit messy, and it was not easy for her to clean it up by herself.

Chen Qingliao helped the fool clean up a room in the side room, which was about eight or nine square meters, and then had the fool's bed and furniture moved in.

Chen Qingliao said: "It looks a bit crowded. If you just make do with it for a while, the house can be built in one month and the walls of the side house can be completed in two months."

The fool nodded and said, "Very good."

To be honest, this accommodation environment is really hard to describe. She just lives with a bunch of goods and a bunch of junk. This is the only way. The house must be built, and there is no other place for her to live.

Then Chen Qingliao helped her move everything in the kitchen into the side room. In addition to a lot of goods for sale, her house had very few other daily necessities.

After she moved everything in the main house to the side room, what the fool didn't expect was that before dark, Chen Qingliao knocked down the main house where she and Cheng Feng lived. She was still feeling sour. Don't look at it. This house is old and dilapidated. It once protected her from wind and snow. Cheng Feng must have lived here for a long time. Knowing that the house has been demolished like this, he will feel a little nostalgic.

Looking at the pile of ruins in front of me, this house did not collapse with a loud noise, nor did it raise smoke and dust. It was like a twilight old man who passed away suddenly and could no longer stir up any big storms.

There is nothing wrong with Chen Qingliao doing this, because tomorrow he can lead people to dig and lay the foundation. They work quickly, and even a fool hopes that the construction period will be as short as possible. Her side house is not very strong, so it can be like a wind. It wasn't particularly safe to live here, she just didn't have any better options.

The next day, the fool went to the city to set up a stall as usual. On the one hand, selling things to make money, she had to buy some grain and vegetables for the people who were building houses at home, as well as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar for cooking, otherwise Aunt Chen would What to cook for so many people.
