Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

Zhao Yeqing obviously still doesn't adapt to the lifestyle of getting rich overnight. "The fire pit in the middle is not filled in. It can be used from time to time. I usually use it to smoke bacon."

Mu Xi is not used to it either, but smoking bacon does not necessarily require a firepit:

"There is a fire pit in the middle but it is not very useful for cooking, which is actually a bit in the way. The bacon can be smoked in the drying room. If we occasionally want to use the firewood stove, we can also leave another small brick stove. The middle one is still filled in, so we can make an extra long operating table.”

His main consideration was for safety. The direction he usually faced was the fire pit, and there would be no safety risks in other places even if he didn't notice it very much.

But if you cook in front of the induction cooker on the console from now on, you will easily step into the fire pit if you step back accidentally. Even if you don't usually light the fire, you will inevitably get covered in ashes.

I don't dare to turn on the fan when it's summer, for fear of blowing dust everywhere.

This concern was well-founded. Zhao Yeqing thought about it and said, "Then fill it out and renovate the kitchen."

Mu Xi's mind was now open, ideas came out, and he quickly planned the places to be repaired.

"In addition to preparing water pumps and booster pumps, it is also important to lay water pipes and water heaters. At that time, the faucet pipes in the kitchen will also be reconnected and connected to the electric water heater, so that hot water can be used at any time..."

It was another big project. Mu Xi had listed out the materials list and drawings. Zhao Yeqing didn't even need to look at them carefully. He could tell from a quick glance that they would not be completed for more than a month.

Okay, okay, she discovered that the skill of the two of them is not how to survive in the mountains, but how to find jobs for themselves in different ways every day in the mountains...

And he worked harder and harder.

Mu Xi saw that her expression as she stared at the drawings became dull, and he quickly smiled and said: "Why, this expression is actually not as difficult as you think..."

Zhao Yeqing slowly raised his eyes, pointed at the slightly exquisite kitchen drawing and said: "Even the kitchen has to be laid with ceramic tiles. After laying the ceramic tiles, we have to build such a long cooking table. I don't know how many red bricks will be burned." , isn’t this difficult?”

Mu Xi immediately defended his drawing: "Actually, laying tiles is a bit troublesome, but red bricks are really useless. Do you remember the biggest hotel in the tourist area?"

"Remember, when we were looking for a refrigerator, I was thinking it would be great if we could use their large commercial freezer, which has enough space... What's the matter, do you want to move the freezer back?"

Mu Xi shook his head: "We'll need it later. Now I'm not talking about the freezer, I'm talking about the stainless steel worktop in the kitchen. We can just move the worktop back for use."

After hearing what he said, Zhao Yeqing suddenly remembered that the back kitchen was huge, and the food in it had long been removed. There were only a few kitchen utensils left in the entire kitchen, the most numerous of which were stainless steel pots and pans. There are several large metal worktops in half of the kitchen.

Why didn't the two of them think of moving the ready-made operating table back for use?

Now part of the kitchen countertops still belong to the original owner, and part of them were made by Mu Xi himself. They are all made of wood and are not easy to clean when they get dirty. If they are replaced with stainless steel, there will be no such trouble. The color of the countertops matches the color of the refrigerator at home. can be more unified.

It is also easier to clean the kitchen floor after it is replaced with ceramic tiles. Mopping it at will is much cleaner than a cement floor.

Mu Xi kept saying: "Since the kitchen floor has been replaced with ceramic tiles, it is best to replace the toilet and bathroom with ceramic tiles. Choose large ceramic tiles. The bathroom and toilet only need a few bricks for the area." It’s fully covered.”

"What about the pipeline?"

"The pipes are actually not difficult to deal with. Now we don't need to hide the pipes in the wall for the sake of appearance. We can just use the exposed pipes directly. It will be easy to modify if we need to modify them in the future."

Okay, since we have already planned it, let’s get started without further delay.

During the next few days of renovating the kitchen, you won't be able to cook in it. All the original things will be moved out and the floor will be laid first.

After the two pried the tiles back, Zhao Yeqing laid the tiles in the bathroom, while Mu Xi installed the water pump first. After the water pump was installed, the water heater could be installed, so that the two of them would not be able to wash off the sweat after working so hard. bath.

The water heater is an electric water heater with a large water storage tank. It is installed outside the toilet, between the toilet and the original main house.

This location can not only supply hot water to the toilet and bathroom next to it, but also conveniently supply hot water to the kitchen next to the original main house.

The tiles in the bathroom were laid first. After they were laid and waiting to dry, the kitchen tiles were laid first.

The toilet was placed at the end, and Mu Xi also went to get a flush toilet. Anyway, the dog at home would not go to the toilet at home. Compared with squatting in the pit, the toilet is more convenient. There will be a layer of water in the toilet and it can also block the smell.

In this weather, the tiles can be stepped on 48 hours after they are laid, but it will take four to five days to be completely dry. During this time, it is not possible to take a shower in the bathroom. You can only take hot water and wash it in the toilet first. Scratch.

The kitchen is the largest in area, and it took the longest time to lay the tiles. The two people's skills are obviously much better than the first time. The tiles that were forsythia rarely cracked again. After laying the tiles, the kitchen looks clean and bright. .

The toilet was the last to be tiled. Within 48 hours after the tiles were laid, the two of them had to go outside to use the toilet. Previously, they could wipe themselves in the toilet, but now they can only carry water to the backyard to scrub.

After the temperature has returned recently, the temperature has stabilized at around 30 degrees, and I don’t feel cold even when I’m scrubbing outside.

The cooking was moved to the first floor of the small brick house, right next to the fireplace, but this time there was no need to light the fireplace again, just take out the induction cooker and plug it in to cook.

Although the tiles can be stepped on after 48 hours, it is best not to move around too frequently until they are completely dry. You can only make simple pancakes and other foods in the house, and cutting vegetables is not very convenient.

After the tiles were laid, all that was left at home was the fermentation greenhouse. The cabinets and cooking tables in the kitchen were all ready-made after being brought back from the tourist area. There was no need to do anything else. Only some shelves nailed to the wall required manual measurement. The size is only a few pieces of wood, so it won't cost much.

After the fire pond was filled up, Zhao Yeqing saved the plant ashes inside. If the fire is no longer burned in the future, the plant ashes will become a rare thing. Keep it for emergencies. Otherwise, it will be troublesome to bake it when you need it.

Zhao Yeqing divided the area of ​​the fermentation greenhouse and leaned against the wall on the right side of the backyard. A long greenhouse support of more than two meters long and more than one meter wide was made of wood or bamboo and could be covered with plastic film.

The area close to the ground is pressed and nailed to the ground with wooden strips to prevent leakage.
