Chapter 34: Busy Building a New House
Didn’t Grandpa Yu suddenly realize that his little granddaughter was extremely smart and talented, so he thought of teaching her to identify medicinal herbs?
He just remembered that all his other children and grandchildren had learned from him, but the little granddaughter in front of him had not learned anything at all.
What does Yu Hongdou think? Of course she agrees.
The grasses all over the mountains are useful to Chinese medicine. This is a blank and much-needed knowledge for her, who comes from a medical field where Western medicine almost dominates.
Let alone the recipe for the Jialan incense she had just obtained. She didn't recognize many of the ingredients, and most of the spices were also traditional Chinese medicines, so learning about herbs from the old man was like killing two birds with one stone.
No, thinking about the ancient medicine box in the backpack, maybe I can kill three birds with one stone.
Yu Hongdou agreed readily. Old Man Yu was very happy and gave Yu Hongdou dried herbs such as mugwort, wormwood and vanilla. He also briefly explained the medicinal properties of several herbs to her.
"These things are not difficult to find in the mountains. They can be made into sachets and can repel mosquitoes. Your father is busy, so grandpa will take you to the mountains to dig them later." The old man said happily. Ever since the little grandson from the third room grew up, he rarely talked about these things with his family.
Yu Hongdou quietly pinched some dried mint leaves and put them into her mouth, chewing them for a while, her mouth full of the mint aroma and grass residue.
After hearing what grandpa said, he nodded happily. Not only did he have a teacher to learn knowledge from, but he also had a bodyguard to go out with. This was really a double happiness.
The grandfather and grandson talked in the room for a long time, and Yu Erlang and Yu Sanlang were disturbed from class when they came back.
"Dad, the wood, stones, bricks and tiles have all been ordered. The stones and bricks are ready-made and will be delivered this afternoon. The wood will be delivered tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. My second brother and I will go over there to build a shed and stay there tonight."
Yu Sanlang was surprised to see his daughter coming out of the main room with her father, but he did not ask any questions and only reported the current situation.
"Well, today I'll ask your eldest brother to bring hazelnuts and chestnuts to hoe your land. Tomorrow I'll ask the village chief to borrow a plow and harrow to plow the land. Ask your mother to bring your eldest and second sisters-in-law to help you plant the seeds." Grandpa Yu didn't completely ignore his son after the family split up.
"Oh, thanks, Dad. I bought a lot of meat and vegetables today. I'll ask Huiru to prepare two dishes to reward my brother and nephews in the evening." Yu Sanlang was stunned, glanced at his father who had a nonchalant expression, and then smiled.
Old Master Yu nodded with satisfaction and told his two sons to get busy.
While her father and grandfather were talking, Yu Hongdou had already sent the paper bag back to the room and rushed to the ox cart outside the door.
"Uncle, where are these things?" Yu Hongdou, who wanted to ride on a ox cart to go to the homestead to watch the fun, found that he couldn't get on at all.
"It just so happened that the Xu family, who made jars, was splitting up, and many of the jars were sold for money. Your father and I bought all of them that were usable." Yu Erlang was obviously a little happy, and he talked more.
"Okay, okay. Then I'll go to the house first, and you guys follow me." Yu Hongdou thought about it and decided to go on a solo walking trip.
In Yu Erlang's eyes, children grow up by being left alone, so he naturally had no objection to Yu Hongdou's words.
Yu Sanlang gave the meat and vegetables he had bought to his wife, and asked her to take a shoulder pole, a wooden bucket, a brush, a rag, a wooden basin and other miscellaneous items, and prepare to go to the homestead to set up a shed and wash the vat.
Yu Hongdou took this opportunity to walk out the door.
There were several more check-in points from her home to the village chief's home, and several disappeared.
The stolen goods of the gambler Ma Lai Zi disappeared, as did Zhang San's private money, but there were rat holes, ant nests, and even Wong Tai Sin Cave.
Although Yu Hongdou was also very curious about what she could sign in at the Ant Nest and Wong Tai Sin Cave, the points were limited.
As a little hamster, she had already made up her mind that her check-in points would not fall below two digits, so as to avoid being unable to cope with the check-in location she wanted.
She walked along the Nanquanyan Road that Xu had taken her on during the day. She didn't meet anyone on the road. At this moment, most people were digging in the fields.
The land here can be harvested twice a year, with a focus on millet and corn.
Millet is millet, which takes about 100 days to mature, while corn takes about 120 days to mature. This is one of the reasons why Yu Hongdou denied that his geographical location was the Northeast.
It is March now, and it is the time to plant millet. One day late may affect the subsequent corn planting and harvesting, so the villagers are so nervous.
This is also the reason why Yu Sanlang went directly to the city to find a bricklayer. He didn't mind if his own land was short of harvest for a few days, he could just buy food. But many families would starve if they were short of a few grains of food.
Now we need to dig out the corn roots in the ground, and then level the ground so that we can plant millet.
Passing by Nanquan, Yu Hongdou felt a little regretful, wondering when the sign-in location hidden in the well would see the light of day again.
Just as she arrived at the homestead, her father and second uncle's ox cart arrived. Yu Sanlang and Yu Erlang began to unload things, and her uncle also heard the noise and came over.
Yu Hongdou saw two large vats. The large vat contained a medium-sized vat, and the medium-sized vat contained a small vat. There was some empty space next to them, with several large and small pottery jars placed there.
She came closer to the pottery jars and saw that there were all sizes, even a few mini ones the size of a palm.
Yu Hongdou guessed that these should be seasoning jars, but unexpectedly her father came over and gave her the jars directly.
"Mr. Xu said this was made for their child to practice. You can take it and play with it." After saying that, Yu Sanlang went back to work.
Yu Hongdou stared at the small jar and smiled. The soap maker was here!
Yu Hongdou watched her father and her second uncle busying themselves with work, and a three-meter-long thatched shed and two simple stoves were built. Then her uncle rolled up his sleeves to clean the vats, while her father and her second uncle fetched water to fill them one by one.
After all this is done, the foundation of the house cannot be left unattended.
Although most of the villagers are simple and honest, there are always bad apples everywhere, and there are always a few who can't stand others doing better than they are.
Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
Seeing that everything was almost cleaned up, Yu Sanlang asked his brother-in-law to stay here for a while, and drove the ox cart back with his second brother and daughter.
He wanted to bring his wife and the pots and pans bought by the family, and then asked his second brother to return the ox cart.
"I have to buy an animal later, otherwise it will be inconvenient to do anything wherever I go." Yu San said with emotion while driving the cart.
After the new house is built, we need to buy more things. I will probably go to the city more frequently in the future, and I can’t borrow money from others every time.
"Well, after I finish building the house, I will buy a cow." Yu Erlang nodded. Apart from anything else, it would be much easier to plow the fields with a cow.
Yu Hongdou nodded. When information was not well developed, it was extremely important to hurry on the road. Haven’t you seen how much trouble the delay of information caused?
The Yu family is busy as hell, and Yu Song in the county town is not having an easy time either.
He was presenting the night pearl that his father had given him to the county magistrate, Tan Bailu, and three young Tan masters.
