Chapter 105

Chapter [-] Looking at the Stone

After dinner, everyone was fine, so we went to the winery and farmhouse to look at the stones.

Walking to the door of the farmhouse, it was not only their family, but also a lot of people wandering around the yard.

There is nothing new in the village, the latest thing is this farmhouse, and everyone walks here consciously.

From a distance, I heard Wang Huanbang say to his uncle: "Piwa is going crazy again, this money can't be treated like this, this broken stone is so ugly, even if you don't need money, the shipping fee will cost a lot! You are Li The boss of the family doesn't know how to take care of the younger generation!"

The uncle said: "Well, don't be silly. Even when I was the village head, there were two people in Lijiagou that I couldn't control. One was the fourth ancestor in the ancestral hall, and the other was Piwa."

Wang Dongfang said: "Although Piwa is often out of tune, he has really done things for the folks. Just that boat, how much loss has been saved this year? Today's young people do things, we really can't see it in this generation." understood!"

Tang Shaoping said: "I'm in the county town, but I've seen many shops selling stones, and the prices are quite high. Erpi doesn't think he wants to go this way, does he?"

……

During the conversation, the family came to the front, and the father became angry when he saw the two big stones at the door: "Oh, Anwa made such a beautiful yard, where did you get two such ugly stones to block it?! Tow it away for me tomorrow!"

Li Junge had no choice but to explain patiently: "Father, you don't understand this. When appreciating this kind of stone, what you pay attention to is that it is skinny and ugly. It is extremely ugly, but it is beautiful! You don't understand how to appreciate it! "

Dad was furious: "Reward, reward! I'll give you two slaps! Ugly is beautiful, what's the point? Ask the folks, are these two rocks beautiful?"

The surrounding folks didn't dare to speak, but they all looked at Dad sympathetically. This leather baby is already beautiful and ugly, and the daughter-in-law of the Li family doesn't know what she will look like in the future!
The uncle also hesitated for a moment, and said: "Pi Wa, your rock is really not good. It is full of holes, and it can't even be hit by a stele. We didn't see what it was good for."

Li Junge was also annoyed, and said, "I can't argue with you anymore. In this way, I don't care who you are, as long as you can find this kind of stone, you can pull it over for me, and I will take it for a dollar and a catty!"

Everyone was clamoring, the two yuan at this door is only three to five tons a piece, that is a small 2 yuan!

Li Junge took out another small stone from the house and said: "I advise everyone to pick up this stone and keep it at home. If you really don't want to keep it, then send it to me. I will collect it for one yuan per catty. I will keep the big one. I will send the younger one to Pan'ao Township to look for a small stone carving inkstone."

Then he said: "This stone has several characteristics. When you hit it with a flashlight, it can let a little light through. If you cover it with your hand, it can produce water beads. If you find such a stone, send it to me if you don't want it. I will take it all! "

My mother hurriedly grabbed Li Junge and said, "Pi Wa, are you crazy? Even if you have money, you can't stand being so bad! This can't control you anymore, can it?"

Li Junge said: "It's okay, the white old man in the county likes them very much. When the harvest is almost done, I will send it to them and let them help sell it. It doesn't cost much for a dollar a catty. Even if you sell it If you don’t lose it, it can be used for house repairs in the future.”

……

That night, Li Junge spent 5000 yuan on Taobao to order a diving suit, including lead cylinders.

The next day, the wandering little fish called and said that their side was ready, and a group of five had booked air tickets for the day after tomorrow.

Time was running out, so Li Junge hurried to the county seat to buy the bed covers needed for the farmhouse, and then told Zhu Chaoan to finish the atrium quickly.

The good thing is to erect a few stones and plant some trees. Zhu Chaoan didn’t go to the city anymore. Lijiagou has a lot of big trees, so he directly planted a few lychees and longan trees on both sides. The plants in the courtyard are wild sweet potato vines, lilies and prickly pears. And so on, it will be lush within two days.

A large concrete platform was built at the entrance, with mud in the middle, and a huge qingming stone screen wall was placed on the concrete platform, and wild sweet potato vines were densely planted on the platform.The vines hang down to the blue bricks and stones on the ground, which is pretty nice.

The column-shaped qingming stone in the atrium also stood up, with a height of six or seven meters, and was directly buried in a pool of more than one meter, surrounded by more than 200 square meters of white pebble pools, so that even if it fell down, it would fall in the middle of the pool without fear of pressure. to people.

I also bought hundreds of sand basins, large and small, and dug out some water candles from the deserted terraced fields on the mountain. I raised various aquatic plants such as Arthia chinensis, water lilies, snapdragons, etc. into the basins, and placed them around the pool. Water overnight, forming a pond.

I turned on the filter pump for another night, and the water quality became extremely clear. One day when no one was around, I got some betta fish of various colors out of the space and put them in.

I found the orchid farm of Xiao Minggui of Lanxie, pulled out a batch of orchids, arranged them on the roof garden, and added some in the yard.

Then put a dark green umbrella around it, and put a rattan sofa and coffee table, and this farmhouse looks like a decent one.

Even though many things are self-reliant and do not require money, Li Junge has settled a debt of more than 20 yuan with Zhu Chaoan.

The evening before the Japanese arrived, fourth grandfather, uncle, Liang Huili, A Yinyu, and many other villagers came to visit the constructed farmhouse.

"Wow! This environment is beautiful!" Liang Huili couldn't help admiring after walking around the screen wall of Qingming Stone.

Well, Qing Minshi was still ignored.

The uncle was also surprised: "How did this dilapidated winery become like this? What's the word for it? Resplendent, no, antique, it seems wrong! Hey, I can't find the words! The stone pillar in the middle is ugly. "

The villagers who came in were also amazed.

Li Junge invited the villagers to sit on the larger platform in front of the river view house, facing the pond to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and Dou Ergou went to the kitchen to make tea for the villagers, and brought melon seeds and peanuts to entertain the villagers.

The children were running in and out of each room, and they all felt very fresh and curious.

Everyone said that if this courtyard could be lived in for a month, it would be so beautiful!

As the sky was getting dark, Zhu Chaoan turned on the lights and played soft music, making the farmhouse music even more beautiful.

A few green spotlights from around shot onto the Qingming stone in the middle of the pond, and there seemed to be clear water flowing between the vortex holes on the stone, and the effect came out now.

The uncle said: "Pi Wa and An Wa have tidied up this place beautifully. That's a good thing. The stone in the middle can be regarded as turning waste into treasure. Now it looks a bit gratifying."

Li Junge has a black line on his forehead, that is my treasure, okay?

The surrounding grass and insects chirped, and everyone felt that the environment was really comfortable. They couldn't tell what was good, but it felt good!

The crescent rose from the mountains behind the Wuxi River, and everyone lowered their voices, for fear of disturbing the beautiful and comfortable environment.

The uncle suddenly thought of something and said, "Piwa, did you name this farmhouse?"

Only then did Li Junge think of this matter, scratched his forehead, and said, "Oh, I completely forgot about this! What's wrong with it? Anyway, it was changed by the winery, or is it called the winery farmhouse?"

The fourth grandfather fell back angrily, and said, "You have been studying with me for so long to reach this level? What's your name?"

Li Junge laughed loudly, and said: "In front of a great expert like you, how can I show off! You should always come here."

The fourth grandfather was not polite, and said: "This place of yours was originally converted from a winery. Well, the winery, 'Jiu Chang', the sound is similar, and the meaning is not bad. It is simply called 'Jiu Changju', so that those who come All the guests hope to stay here for a long time, okay?"

Everyone applauded, Qi Dao is such a good name!Just changed the pronunciation of one word, not only taking care of the old title, but also celebrating the new meaning, which means that there is no way to change a single word.

Li Junge said again: "Then I have to trouble you to write a pair of words. When the time comes, I will make a horizontal plaque and hang it on it, and it will be officially opened!"

Liang Huili said to her surroundings: "The folks have seen it, right? Erpi is setting an example. When there will be more guests in the future, everyone can renovate their own house and use it for catering reception. We will earn money in the city by sitting at home." people's money."

A Yinyu also said: "Well, next Erpi will build six sets of wooden buildings from Jiuchangju along the river, using the craftsmanship of our Miao family on the mountain. With the golden nest, there will be no worries about the phoenix." This year, we will make these a few examples, and the folks can also use them as a reference. If you have the intention to build a farmhouse, you should report to the village. We will try our best to unify the style and make our Lijiagou characteristics. "

The fourth grandpa said again: "The first batch of guests will arrive tomorrow. They are guests from Japan. Everyone, greet your children when the time comes. Don't take it as a surprise. Don't be ignorant. This is disrespectful to others. There is also the need to pay attention to etiquette when speaking and doing things, Li Jiagou has come from Lijiagou to pass on poems and etiquette, we have maintained this tradition very well on weekdays, everyone can just do as usual!"

Li Junge said again: "The reception, cooking, and daily cleaning are indispensable. Now I need a chef and two administrators to take care of it. My family is busy. Let's see if there is any suitable person to recommend. If not, then these few days will only trouble my parents for their hard work."

The little cousin said: "You can let Liu Sanwa from my brother's shop come to cook. He has studied with Fatty Wang for so long, and he should be a teacher!"

Li Dongsheng said: "Why don't the administrators just let me and Yulian come to help? If Yunqiu wasn't too young, we would have gone out to work long ago. Erpi, how much do you pay us for a month?"

Li Junge said: "Twenty-five thousand a month, including food and lodging, bonuses will be paid at the end of the year depending on the business situation, brother Dongsheng, sister-in-law Yulian, what do you think?"

Ai Yulian said: "Oh, that's a good thing! You can leave later, the melon seeds and peanuts will be cleaned by the two of us, and we will start working tonight!"

Everyone burst out laughing.
