From farming to business

According to what Su Dezhi told him before, Yu Feng stopped in front of a courtyard, and Yu Feng looked uncertainly through the half-person-high mud wall.

There are a lot of wooden utensils piled up in the not-so-big yard. An elderly man is sitting in the middle of the yard, slowly correcting the wood in front of him with a plane.

Only then did Yu Feng confirm that this was the home of the old carpenter in the village, he walked along the courtyard wall to the door, and tapped lightly on the open door.

Hearing the noise, the old man raised his eyelids and glanced, then quickly drooped back and continued with his hands, saying, "Come in, there are so many courtesy."

After getting permission, Yu Feng stepped in, stood in front of the other party, and said, "You are Carpenter Qin, right? I'm Yu Feng, and I want to make some furniture."

After listening to his words, Carpenter Qin raised his chin towards the little Maza who was put aside, and saw that he would move over and sit beside him knowingly, before he asked again, "What do you want to hit?"

"I mainly want to make a bed. I don't need too good wood, as long as it is strong and durable. If possible, I also want a cabinet." Yu Feng sat firmly on the mat and said his plan.

The most important thing is to see if his wallet is allowed. If the budget is enough, he still wants a cabinet to put things in. If not, he can make a bed first. After all, he is still living on this little money and cannot spend it all here. above.

"If you want something different, it's only three hundred cash. I can make you another chair with the rest of the materials, and I'll finish it for you in five days." Carpenter Qin stopped his movements and blew off the sawdust on the surface. Go on planing again.

Ordinary wood is all over the mountains and plains, and it doesn’t cost much, it’s nothing more than a little effort, and what you eat is craftsmanship. If you don’t ask for much, you don’t need much money.

Yu Feng's eyes lit up, the price was cheaper than he imagined, and he could still afford it, so he nodded immediately, "All right, do I need to give you a deposit?"

"No need." Carpenter Qin waved his hand, "Where can you go if you live in a village, and give it to me when you come to pick up something."

"That's fine, sorry for your old age." Of course, Yu Feng would be delighted to have a bed to sleep in soon. Liu Hefang said before that if you need bedding or something, you can buy some fabric and cotton for her to sew, and keep it better than selling it outside sleep comfortably.

So he was thinking about when to go to the town for the past two days. He needed a lot of things, and he just happened to be able to watch and buy things together.

It's just that the location of Xishan Village is relatively remote, not too close to the town, and it's obviously unrealistic to rely on two legs. It's not easy to go there.

Thinking about this in his heart, Yu Feng once again said to the person in front of him who was focused on planing wood, "Carpenter Qin, I heard that your ox cart usually goes to town?"

"En." Qin Carpenter responded, and finally stopped the movement of his hands, took a puff from the pipe and pot at his feet, and slowly exhaled the smoke, "My son usually helps me transport wood, just Pull the cart to the town, usually every other day, and he happened to go today, if you want a ride, you have to wait until the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll remember." Yu Feng nodded in response, and stood up from the ponytail he was sitting on, "Then I won't bother you, I'll pick up the furniture in a few days."

The old man waved his hand holding the pipe and pot to indicate that he would not see off the guests. He cupped his hands and turned to leave the yard.

The sky has been gloomy since this morning, and now it is even more dull, even the air can feel the smell of dampness, Yu Feng looked up at the sky, reckoning that it will definitely rain later in the evening, it was replaced yesterday The clothes were still hanging in the yard, so I better hurry back and collect them just to be on the safe side.

He quickened his pace and walked back, rejoicing in his heart that luckily the Su family's wheat had all been dried, otherwise the appointment would be at a loss, and all the villagers would have exchanged money for the grain.

"oops!"

A cry of pain not far away caused Yu Feng, who was hurrying with his head down, to look up. A few steps away, a girl in a bright dress was sitting on the ground with her head slightly lowered and her hands covering her ankles. She couldn't see her face clearly. See a pair of delicate eyebrows tightly knit together.

This person fell right in front of him, and it was definitely not his style to turn a blind eye and walk away, let alone a girl who looked delicate and weak.

He walked over a few steps and stood in front of the other party. He didn't reach out to help him rashly, but bent slightly and asked, "Girl, are you alright?"

Hearing his voice, the girl raised her head. Her face was fair and beautiful. She was a woman who could make people's eyes shine. At this time, there was a little pain on her face, "Maybe she sprained her ankle."

While listening to her talk, Yu Feng squatted down beside her, watching the other party take away his hand to reveal a small section of ankle under the skirt, even if it was covered by the full skirt, nothing could be seen.

He stretched out his hand and wanted to touch it, but he suddenly remembered that this is not the past, the distance between the opposite sex should be maintained, otherwise it will ruin the reputation of others, he withdrew his hand, and said: "Try to turn your ankle. "

Seeing that he didn't touch her, the girl stopped and planned to retract her feet. It was somewhat taboo to have a man by her side, but no one else passed by at the moment, and she didn't dare to let him go away.

She moved her feet tentatively according to what the other party said, and it seemed that the pain was not as painful as before. Her frowning brows were less relaxed, and she slowly turned her ankles a few times.

Seeing that her feet were able to move, Yu Feng knew that nothing was wrong, it was just that when he fell, he flickered, so he felt a little pain at the moment, and he would be fine after resting, instead of directly reaching out to support her, he stretched out his arms in front of her , "I'll help you up."

The girl glanced at his arm, then raised her eyes to look at his clean eyes, bit her lip, still stretched out her hand to put it on his arm through a layer of fabric, and stood up with the help of the other party, "Thank you for this big brother."

Waiting for the other party to stand still, Yu Feng retracted the arm supporting her, and just waved his hand to thank her, "It's a little effort, if you have nothing to do, girl, hurry home, it looks like it's going to rain today. "

The girl blessed him and nodded in response, he curled his lips into a smile and walked away quickly, don't drench the clothes that were washed in the morning.

Turning her eyes slightly to look at the back of him leaving in a hurry, the girl who was left behind blinked slightly. There are very few face-to-face people in the village, and the only one is the fool who was sober a few days ago.

She has also seen it before, the stupid smelly smell all over her body, she just wants to let people walk around, she didn't expect to look like this when she was sane, she was so much taller than her when she straightened her back .

Thinking of the arm that was held just now, although it was a little thin, it was very strong, and it was able to support her steadily, which was extraordinarily... peace of mind.

A blush floated on her cheeks, she bowed her head lightly, scolded herself for being so shameless, stomped her feet in embarrassment, and left from where she was.

It's a pity that although he has a good appearance and good temper, he is poor and white, and he even worries about his own livelihood.

A small accident encountered on the road was not remembered by Yu Feng for a long time, and was soon forgotten. Fortunately, until he stepped into the house, no raindrops fell on the heavy sky.

He reached out and touched the clothes hanging in the yard. Because of the humid weather today, they were still moist and not completely dry. After thinking about it, he took them from the temporary rope and took them back into the house. .

It might rain when it will fall. To be on the safe side, it is better not to dry it outside, and it is the same to pull a rope when you go back to the house.

Putting the clothes on the sleeping straw pile, he dug out a bunch of straw rope he found yesterday, looked around the room, and finally decided to hang it behind the door.

Because of the dilapidation, the door panel has been deformed, and there are many gaps, just enough for him to put the rope in, and the clothes don't take up space here.

Just after finishing cleaning here, there was a muffled thunder outside. He opened the other half of the door and stepped out. Bean-sized raindrops fell at the same time, and the air began to be filled with a damp earthy smell.

He stood under the eaves looking at the rain curtain, stretched out his hand to catch a few drops, it was a little itchy when it hit his palm, he retracted to look at the water in his eyes, wiped it on his clothes, and turned his face when he was about to enter the house. Just a change.

He walked in with big strides and looked at the ground that had been wet in several places. He frowned. The broken roof was indeed leaking. The only thing he was lucky about was that the bed was still dry, otherwise he would not be able to sleep tonight.

But if you just leave it alone, the house will soon be flooded with water, and it will still be wet as it should be. After thinking about it, Yu Feng turned around and left the house, covered his head with his hands and trotted to the small cooking shed.

Seeing that the shed, which was simpler than the roof, was extraordinarily strong, without a drop of rain leaking, it made him feel a little relieved.

He tossed around in the shed for a while, finding all the containers that could catch water, such as wooden barrels and clay pots, and took them back to the house and put them in several leaking places.

Seeing the rainwater falling steadily into the container, he was slightly relieved, at least he didn't have to worry about turning the house into a small river anymore.

Looking up at the weak roof, he felt a little worried, thinking that when the rain stopped tomorrow, he would have to go to Uncle Dezhi and ask if there was a mason in the village. , looks really too dangerous.

However, although his idea was good, the overly fragile roof was not as strong as imagined. After the rain continued for several hours, Yu Feng went on strike in the middle of the night while he was sleeping.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

A loud noise exploded in his ears awakened Yu Feng, he squatted up neatly almost like a conditioned reflex, and the scene in front of him made him dumbfounded.

The pile of mud and rocks that fell on the ground and the roof with a big hole seemed to be mocking his previous optimism, and he didn't even allow him to spend the night in peace.

He relaxed his tense body from vigilance, and raised his hand to pinch his aching forehead. The splash of rainwater falling on the ground even flew onto his face, and he felt a slight coolness.

The incomparably real house leak happened to rain overnight, he put down his hands and stood up from the pile of straw, stood beside the pile of earth and rocks and looked up, not seeing the slightest rain pouring in from the hole unceremoniously, regardless of the mood of the owner .

The rain on the ground spread to his feet, and he took two steps back to avoid it. If this continued, he believed that the whole house would soon be wet, and he knew that he would not be able to stay here.

A wry smile appeared on his lips, comforting himself in his heart, at least the place where he collapsed was not where he slept, otherwise he might die again.

Turning around, he picked up the rags that were spread on the pile of straw, and grabbed two more handfuls of straw, Yu Feng avoided the mess and left the house, and ran to the small cooking shed.

Throwing the straw into the corner, wrapped in rags and sitting against the wall, he can only make do with it here, it's not easy to bother others in the middle of the night.

It is only a few hours before dawn, and staying up through the night in a worse environment is nothing to Yu Feng, at least he can close his eyes and rest for a while now.

Hearing the dense rain in his ears, his mood calmed down. Although it was a bit miserable to say, it was still a special experience.

Survival in this world may not be easy, but he likes the most ordinary smell of fireworks. The simplest three meals a day, simple tea and light food, were actually the most difficult things in the past.

A smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he tightened the rags on his body.
