A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career

As the sun rises in the east, smoke curls from the kitchens of every household in Chenjia Village.

The hard-working villagers got up early, finished their meal, and then started the day's work.

Chen Changsheng asked Sanshou to feed the chickens and ducks in the yard with water, and then asked him to continue driving them to the fields to eat insects today.

She also handed Sanshou a basket and said, "Sanshou, when you went to the fields today, in addition to keeping an eye on the chickens and ducks to prevent them from eating the rice, you also remembered to catch more locusts and come home at noon. Give me a trip."

"What are you doing catching the locusts? Why don't I just slap them all to death on the spot." Sanshou was puzzled.

Locusts are such harmful things. When I see them, my first reaction is to crush them to death. They are inedible and useless after being caught, so it is impossible to keep them.

"Just catch it and mother will prepare something delicious for you."

"Mom, aren't you confused? Locusts are pests. How can we eat pests?" Sanshou heard Chen Changsheng's words and looked at her in disbelief.

Who says locusts can’t be eaten? Fried locusts with some chili powder add a crispy texture, the meat is tender and fragrant, and it’s simply delicious on the tip of the tongue!

Locusts are also called grasshoppers. Fried grasshoppers are a traditional dish in the north. They are often served as food and drinks. They are rich in protein and can just add some nutrients to these bastards.

Chen Changsheng laughed and said, "You kid, you can catch me if your mother tells you to. When I make it, I will make sure you can't stop eating."

Chen Sanshou: [Mom is crazy...she wants to eat locusts...]

After the goods entering the city were ready, Chen Erlu loaded all the things onto the bullock cart. In order to prevent the bumps on the road from overturning the barrel and soiling the carriage, he also carefully fixed the barrel and replaced it with a new one. After putting on his clothes, Erlu jumped onto the bullock cart with high spirits and headed towards the city with his whip raised.

Chen Dafu, San Shou and Si Xi were left carrying buckets and baskets on their backs and driving the chickens and ducks to their own fields.

The family's arrangements are clear.

Chen Changsheng locked the courtyard, made an appointment with Chen Lizheng, and the two of them headed towards the east entrance of the village.

Li Zheng found a tree stump and sat down, took out a dry cigarette from his waist and took a puff and said, "Dafu Niang, when did the people in the city say they would come yesterday?"

"At the beginning of Chenshi, just let us wait at the entrance of the village." Chen Changsheng said.

While the two people were talking and waiting, they saw a few locusts flying in the sky, and one of them landed on Li Zheng's shoulder.

Chen Li was frowning as he pinched the locust off, threw it to the ground violently, and then crushed it with his foot, causing the locust to burst into juice again.

He spat, "Damn it, you're here to harm us again. The locusts came really early this year. I asked about it yesterday and found that locusts were also found in the fields in the neighboring villages. We shouldn't take it lightly."

Chen Changsheng said, "Uncle Li Zheng, we have to hurry up and kill the locusts before there are too many of them."

"Dafu Niang, what idea have you come up with?" Li Zheng picked up a leaf and wiped the locust juice from his hand.

"I wonder if Uncle Li Zheng has heard of the method of killing locusts with chickens and ducks? I heard that in some places in the north, chickens and ducks are driven into rice fields to catch insects. Yesterday, I asked the third child in the family to try it, and it had some results." Chen Changsheng looked at Chen Lizheng, waiting for him to speak.

"real?!"

Li Zheng looked at Chen Changsheng with hope. He believed in Chen Changsheng's words and abilities.

He also raised a few hens at home, and when he passed by the gate of the yard, he asked his wife to drive them into the fields to try.

Chen Changsheng nodded, "If there are too many locusts in the ground, a few chickens and ducks will not be enough. It is best to have as many as possible."

"Chickens and ducks are not cheap. A chicken in the city costs seven to eight cents. I don't know if anyone is willing to do so."

But now is not the time for everyone to be willing or not. There are locusts in the ground. If we leave it alone, there will be no place to cry when there is no harvest.

The two waited for a while and saw three bullock carts driving one behind the other on the road outside the village entrance, with about ten people sitting in each cart.

The man driving the car at the front was a man about forty years old. When he arrived in front of Chen Changsheng and the other two, the man bowed his hands to Li Zheng and said, "May I ask this uncle, is this Chenjia Village?"

Chen Lizheng stood up and replied, "Exactly. Are these master craftsmen from Baishui County?"

This man was dressed in smart clothes, and the people in the car behind him were also dressed neatly. He also carried many tools, which looked a bit like the craftsman Chen Changsheng said.

"Uncle's guess is correct. We did come from Baishui County. The master asked dozens of us to go to Chenjia Village today to find Mrs. Chen and listen to her arrangements to build a brick kiln." The man faced the two cattle cars behind him. People in the car shouted, "We're here!"

Chen Changsheng took a step forward and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, brother. I am the person you are looking for. Brothers, you have been busy traveling and traveling. You must not have had breakfast yet. Why don't you have a meal first and then we go to the place to see?" "

"No, no, we came here after having dinner early in the morning. The master asked us to come over on time to start construction. We can't delay Mrs. Chen's affairs."

The villagers' meals were probably either wild vegetable paste or brown rice porridge. There were more than thirty people in their group, and all of them were strong men. If they really went to other people's homes to eat, they would probably be destitute in one meal.

Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "Just call me Sister-in-law of the Chen family. Since we have already eaten, let's go directly to the place."

Chen Lizheng and Chen Changsheng walked in front and led the way, while the bullock cart followed slowly behind.

"Sister-in-law Chen, please tell us the approximate specifications of the brick kiln you want to build, so that we can have a plan in mind." The big man introduced, "There are more than thirty of us, and twenty of them are bricklayers. , thirteen are carpenters, and a few of them have fired green bricks before."

Chen Changsheng was overjoyed. He didn't expect that there were people who had fired green bricks. If the brick kiln was built and these people were asked to stay and teach the villagers a few times, then their village would be able to make green bricks themselves.

She took out the drawings she had found in her bracelet yesterday, slowed her pace and walked side by side with the oxcart, showed the drawings to the man, and at the same time stated her needs.

The man saw that all the data on the drawing were clearly marked, and it looked like it was made by an expert. He couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law Chen, where did you get this drawing? The drawing is too clear. ”

Several of them had experience in building brick kilns, and with Chen Changsheng's explanation of the drawings, their minds became much clearer. And if it is built according to the drawings, the brick kiln must be extremely stable, and the bricks produced will be of high quality, perhaps better than those in the city's brick kilns.

Chen Changsheng only smiled and said that he had read it in ancient books and combined with the opinions of other craftsmen to come up with such a copy.

"There are also craftsmen in the village? Then please help introduce them when the time comes, so that I can gain experience." The man said seriously.

Masons and carpenters like them do not simply work behind closed doors, nor are they complacent about their craftsmanship. They must keep learning to master the most fashionable techniques.

[Family members, help! I don’t know what’s going on, but my vest seems to have been discovered by my family. In the past two days, seven aunts and eight aunts suddenly asked me if I was writing a novel. They also asked me what the next plot was, and there were two more. Daddy asked me to give them a big hero role in the book. Help! I'm so panicked! 】
