The house has been busy for several days.

Since having a thin monkey at home, Liu Luochen has become a lot more relaxed about everything in the house.

Thin Monkey is very introverted, doesn’t talk much at ordinary times, is very diligent every day, looks for work at home, and has a low sense of existence.

Whenever Liu Luochen saw him busy at home, he felt like a vicious boss who exploited child labor.

So I don't know if it's out of guilt or out of sympathy, Liu Luochen will also be nice to the thin monkey, buying him new clothes and shoes.

It's just that every time Liu Luochen came back from the town, after bringing something to Shouhou, when he turned around, he could see Nan Nian's faint dark green eyes.

Although the house they live in now has a lot of space, the house is too dilapidated and often leaks rain.

Liu Luochen had long planned to tear it down and rebuild it, but now that he thought about the harassment of foreigners outside the border, he also kept an eye out, and wanted to dig a cellar to store some grain while the house was being repaired.

There is an old saying in China that digging deep pits and accumulating grain can only keep you calm when you have grain in hand.

This matter should also be concealed.

People in the village also have their own unique relationship with things like building a house.

If you ask the village to build a house with a strong labor force, you will have two meals in the morning and evening, as well as wine, so that when others are in need, you will also come to help. This is a human relationship.

Liu Luochen's original intention was to spend money to hire people to come to do the work, but he couldn't ignore the human relations in the village. After all, he would live here for a long time in the future, so he thought about it a few times.

Liu Luochen made a special trip to his uncle's house in Liushu Village and asked him about the better masons in Shiliba Village.

The two masters who built the house were specially invited from a village far away from Liujia Village.

Back then, just to be on the safe side, I deliberately inquired about their character in these villages, and after confirming that they were honest and honest, they quietly gave the money to build the house, and privately revealed that they wanted to build a big hidden spot cellar.

This kind of thing is not uncommon. Generally, farmers will build a small cellar to store cabbage and potatoes for winter consumption.

Liu Luochen just expanded the scope from time to time and asked to be more concealed. Each family has its own way of life, and the master understands it very well. As long as the money is in place, these guys are no problem, so he agreed wholeheartedly.

As for the manpower to build the house, Liu Luochen naturally recruited from the strong labor force in the village.

Liu Luochen found the village chief on purpose, and asked him to help him lead the way in finding someone to help, and promised to have two meals at noon and one in the evening, at least one meat dish and one meal of wine.

So many men in the village who were not busy on the ground came to Liu Luochen's house in twos and threes to help him build a house.

Shouhou followed Old Man Wang, and Liu Luochen taught him a lot when he returned home, so now that he is pretty good at cooking, let him be in charge.

Liu Luochen specially asked Liu Xiaodie's mother-in-law, Qin Mu, to help take care of the big pot of rice, in case those busy women in the village took the ingredients they had prepared.

Luckily, Liu Luochen was more thoughtful and invited Qin's mother.

When Qin's mother was young, she was widowed and her husband was widowed. She raised her son and cultivated him to become a talented person. It can be seen that she has a resolute temperament and is quite sharp and sharp.

She naturally valued Liu Luochen, so she was also very concerned about the big pot of rice that entertained the villagers, as big as chicken, duck and fish, as well as an onion and a head of garlic.

These women and women who came to help are also in charge of the food. If they can't eat the leftovers every day and have a surplus, they can also take some back.

It's just that no one should take advantage of the opportunity to sneak around.

The farm house was built by a large number of people and strength, and Liu Luochen had prepared sufficient materials. Under the guidance of two master masters, a group of strong young men from the village built the house in ten days.

Liu Luochen deliberately laid bluestone slabs in the middle of the yard and the house, which looked neat and clean.

After the renovation of the house was completed, Liu Luochen specially invited two master masters to come to the house late at night.

It took several people to work together for five days to dig out a cellar and tamp it down with mud and stone slabs to make sure it was safe.

After the cellar was completed, a big stone fell to Liu Luochen's heart. He took two packs of pastries and a pack of tea with a smile, and stuffed them to the two master chefs, saying, "Recently, I have really worked hard for you masters. I really bought them specially." The pastry and tea masters here take them back to eat, you are welcome."

It is said that eating others' mouths is short, and taking others' hands is short.

The two uncles received the money and gifts again, and they naturally smiled like chrysanthemums, and naturally understood Liu Luochen's intentions in their hearts, so they smiled again and again and said: "Don't worry, my master, let's just work and get the money. I don’t know anything else. Our two old brothers have worked in these ten miles and eight villages for many years, and we know the rules. Don’t worry, you’ll be rotten.”

The smile on Liu Luochen's speechless face became more real, and he personally sent the two masters out.

The kitchen and toilets were messy, and it took another day of repairs before the new house was considered complete.

Looking at the beautiful and tidy green brick house, Liu Luochen felt proud.

The price of a house in modern times makes people look up. Although it is in the ancient countryside, Liu Luochen is very proud when he sees his own house, and he is also a homeowner.

And Liu Luochen built a big house with blue bricks and red tiles in the village, which caused quite a stir.

When those working men returned home, they all praised their mothers-in-law. Liu Luochen was sensible and knew how to make money. Not only did he earn the fields and ponds, but he also built a big house.

After Liu Tiezhu and his wife found out, their silver teeth were almost shattered.

During the past few days of building the house, the sons of the Liu family did not come to help, but Liu Tiezhu and Wang couldn't help coming to the house when they saw the good wine and food on the table, wanting to eat and drink with them.

At first, it was only Liu Tiezhu who came to the door and sat on the table to eat meat and drink intently, and Liu Luochen didn't say anything.

After all, this is the original biological father, he should eat some meat and drink some wine.

But later when Mrs. Wang came to the door, she went to the back kitchen and clamored to take the meat away, which angered Qin's mother. After being ridiculed by her, she left in despair.

Liu Tiezhu also felt ashamed, so after that time, he never came to take advantage of Liu Luochen's family.

Liu Luochen really didn't know what to do with these parents.

As long as they don't go too far, they just turn a blind eye.

Liu Luochen still remembered that when he first passed through, Liu Tiezhu found out out of conscience and gave him 50 Wen.

Out of this kindness, Liu Luochen also packed some meat, vegetables and wine before each banquet, and let the thin monkey quietly give it to Liu Tiezhu, which can be regarded as a filial piety for the original owner, but that's all there is to it. Even Liu Luochen couldn't do it.

The house here was finished, and Nan Nian also devoted himself to the research of bows and crossbows. This was related to his family's wealth and life, and Liu Luochen didn't bother him.

There are so many spare parts for bows and crossbows, Nan Nian can only carve them by hand with wood, which will inevitably be slower.

Liu Luochen wasn't in a hurry, he just felt sorry for his eyes, so he would always make some cassia seed chrysanthemum tea to make him look good, and he would cook more fish to give him nutrition.

Seeing that the autumn harvest season was approaching, Liu Luochen saw that the rice in the paddy field was growing very well, and the heavy ears of rice bent his waist.

Seeing that the harvest is much better than the rice in the surrounding fields, and the fish fry in this field are also growing very well, fat and strong, but others are envious.

When the other villagers saw this situation, they felt envious and tried to curry favor with Liu Luochen. They wanted to learn from him and learn about rice planting next year, so they also used his method to put fish fry in the paddy fields.

They have never seen this method before, so they dare not use it because they are afraid that the fry will eat rice.

But seeing Liu Luochen use this method with his own eyes, and the people who followed him all reaped good harvests, naturally he felt itchy.

Liu Luochen did not hesitate to explain this method thoroughly, and promised that everyone could buy fish fry in his pond next year. After all, the price will be much lower for the villagers.

When the villagers heard that Liu Luochen's fish fry asked for money, although they felt a little unhappy.

But seeing the big white carp tumbling in the water, I really can't say anything.

Liu Luochen naturally wanted to do something perfectly. After he explained the method in detail, he also cried poorly to the villagers, saying that the fish fry spent a lot of money in the town.

Moreover, his fish pond spent a lot of money when raising fish fry.

Everyone's complaints in their hearts disappeared without a trace, and they were sincerely grateful to Liu Luochen, so Liu Luochen's popularity in the village continued to rise.

Counting the days, Liu Luochen, Nannian and Shouhou three people carried sickles and went down to cut rice together.

The three of them worked for four or five days in a row before they finished cutting the rice, which was also two shades darkened by the sun.

After the rice was harvested, Liu Luochen could release the water to fish out all the fish, shrimps, and snails from the rice field.

After autumn, it will be winter soon, and these fish must be sold as soon as possible, otherwise it will become cold in winter and the pond will be frozen, and it will be difficult to deal with.

The rice that has just been harvested from the ground still has a lot of water in it, and it is not easy to store. After the rice inside is patted out, it must be exposed to the sun to remove excess water.

The dried rice, if the storage temperature and humidity are suitable, can even be stored for three to five years without corruption and mold.

And Liu Luochen didn't sell all the big fat fish harvested in the field. Instead, he chose the medium-sized ones, washed them and discarded them, and then dried them with seasoning. They were made into air-dried fish and stored for winter use.

The fish in the fish pond is also a good harvest. Uncle Shuanzi and the others went to the town to sell fish in the past few days. The business is very good, and the profits from the daily settlement are getting more and more.

Liu Luochen counted the silver in his hands. Aside from the silver for building the house, he still had about 800 taels of silver in his hand, and the two small gold ingots that Ri Nannian brought back that day, and he never touched them.
