Back to the era: My vegetable cellar is modern

Chapter 198

Qin Hao was busy with these things at home, and basically left all the delivery matters to Li Haidong.

There is no way, they are the only two who can drive. Qin Hao can't leave, so let his brother-in-law do the work.

Li Meiling didn't have to cook this time. She was holding her child in the house and watching the busy work outside, feeling anxious in her heart.

She is not a person who enjoys happiness. Sometimes she goes to the outhouse to see how the food is being cooked, sometimes she holds her child to sleep, and then she goes to the other side to see how the foundation is being laid.

Because there were so many people hired and many people came to help, the foundation was dug out in one day and the piles could be driven tomorrow.

"It was done very quickly." Li Meiling came to Qin Hao's side and looked at the pit filled with stones. She felt that the process was indeed very fast.

"It's okay." Qin Hao turned around and said, "Just take care of the children and don't worry about the rest."

Wang Dahua came over to help with cooking, and Li Cuiying from next door also came and was busy cooking.

If nothing else, Li Cuiying is indeed a good person. Although her sister is quite inhuman, she does not have sex with others.

As soon as the two of them finished talking, two people walked over not far away, carrying bags and things on their backs.

"It won't be a waste to build a new house. Hao Zi is too busy."

If someone is talking, people will naturally not drink too much.

"There is beer and liquor here. You can drink whatever you want. But don't drink too much and delay things!" Qin Hao still put his words first.

Cold dishes, pork stewed with sauerkraut, chicken stewed with potatoes, braised fish, stir-fried bean sprouts, and roast duck.

Not only Li Meiling and her children, but also several cooks were eating in the back room.

Li Meiling was holding her child in the back room. There were too many people and the room was so messy that she was afraid of scaring the child.

Compared with today's big roosters, they must be several times bigger. Each one weighs six or seven kilograms.

Li Lin replied: "I heard that you are building a house, and we are here to help. Why are there so many people?"

Some time ago, Qin Hao caught six more piglets and fed them without fear of running out of meat.

No, now Qin Hao doesn't even follow Li Haidong when he gets out of the car.

There are only a few bullock carts to pull the stones, and tractors are convenient, but they belong to the village and cannot be used by private individuals to build houses.

After the two big pots of steamed buns came out, Qin Hao put them on the table and said, "You're all welcome. It's a good relationship if you can come and help. We must not miss out on eating and drinking."

But knowing that Qin Hao spent money to hire people, Li Lin felt bad.

Being busy with work, Qin Hao took the time to deliver the food.

"Why are you here?" Li Meiling took the things and seemed to be planning to stay for a few days.

"That's for sure." Zhao Laoliu took out two bottles of beer and said, "Drink some to quench your thirst. Who can delay things!"

That being said, she agreed with her father's point of view. But no matter who she is in front of, she will never lose Qin Hao's face.

Since it stopped freezing outside, Qin Hao's refrigerator came in handy. The remaining thirty kilograms of pork were all frozen, and I just happened to eat it today to save their family from having to eat frozen pork later.

How can you live like this?

Qin Hao smiled and said, "Mom, you guys come to help for free. If we don't get something delicious, how can we help?"

No one has ever seen so many people building a house, but there is a saying that having so many people come to build a house also proves that the popularity is good.

The man is the master of the family, and two people can say anything together, but they still cannot tell the truth in front of their parents.

As long as everyone is willing to work hard, he doesn't care how much it costs.

Who can treat guests to this meal? It's really not easy.

As for meat dishes, they also have a lot of pork.

Hearing this, Li Meiling smiled and waved her hands, "Dad, isn't it that your uncle wants me to move into a new house as soon as possible? Look at my house, how does it look like a new house?"

Don't hang around here eating and drinking, and then if you don't work, what is his intention?

"Oh my god, it's already just in time for the Chinese New Year." People who entered the room widened their eyes when they saw the dishes on the table.

"You go and eat, don't worry about it." Li Meiling saw that he hadn't eaten yet, so she asked him to eat.

I went to say hello to my in-laws and join the work team.

"Mom?" Li Meiling shouted in surprise, then went to pick her up.

A total of three tables were set up at noon, each with six dishes, all served in pots.

"It's so generous." Wang Dahua was responsible for chopping chicken. She felt really distressed when she saw the three big roosters.

Qin Hao went to the chicken coop and caught three big roosters specifically for food, so he fed them more feed and they grew bigger.

Li Lin, who wanted to understand, couldn't say anything else besides feeling distressed.

If you continue to use it like this, others will definitely have ideas and start a fuss. When everyone uses it, wouldn’t it be a waste of resources?

This roast duck was purchased from Hyundai. It tastes good, but is a bit salty.

Zhao Mei stopped what Li Lin wanted to say, "Okay, okay, don't worry about my uncle's affairs."

"What are you spending that money for? How many of us are there, and we're not in a hurry." He couldn't figure it out.

The only way to help is to get some food. If you can’t even prepare the food, no one will come over next time something happens.

The people who came were Li and Lin. They were surprised to see so many people working here.

He understood the truth, so Wang Dahua didn't say anything else, just let him kill the three fish.

After working all morning, who isn’t hungry?

Qin Hao nodded, asked Zhao Mei to take care of him, and then went back to greet people.

After all, he is the man of the family, so he is here to help, even if he is not around during meals.

On the way back to the house, Qin Hao saw several people talking not far away, and he couldn't see clearly from a distance.

He didn't look much and went back to eat.

He had a lot to do in the afternoon, and he had to flush the red bricks he bought before bringing them back. He needs to install a squat toilet in his new home and build a cesspool.

The technician in charge of the framework gave him a lot of advice.

"It's better to build a second floor than to build it like this. It's more cost-effective to connect the radiator and burn coal."

Of course, burning wood is suitable now. At least it doesn’t cost money, as long as you are willing to contribute.

But it won’t be possible in a few years. Casual cutting is not allowed here.

Qin Hao looked at the drawings and felt that building a second floor was too eye-catching. But after the construction was completed, their house was the most eye-catching in the Qin family fort.

"How about building a second floor." Qin De also agreed: "Anyway, it's just you and your child. It will be convenient for your child to live anywhere in the future."

The fire on the second floor is similar to the one on the first floor, but the warmth retention is different. There are more rooms on the second floor, so it will be warmer.

On the first floor, there is a lot of space and no warmth.

Qin Hao thought about it and then said: "Okay, just build a second floor!"

If it's eye-catching, it's eye-catching. Anyway, their home is conspicuous enough. The family owns a big truck and a motorcycle, so everyone knew that their family was rich. Everyone was very excited when they learned that their house had a two-story building. This was the first time in a rural area.

At least in the nearby villages, I have never seen houses built like this.

After Qin Hao finished eating, he went to tell Li Meiling that he had to tell Li Meiling about all the big and small things at home, even if he had already made a decision.

"Okay, it's up to you." Li Meiling didn't care. She wouldn't listen to anything she said anyway, so she might as well not say anything.

After Qin Hao left, Zhao Mei said with envy: "You are still lucky to marry a good man. Your sister is also married to a good man, but she is not lucky."

It has to be said that Qin Hao never told his wife that everything was bought.

He also takes care of his family and doesn't lose his temper casually.

On the other hand, Li Meiqin had to throw away the sweet and savory food given to her.

Speaking of Li Meiqin, a trace of helplessness flashed across Li Meiling's face. They didn't come and didn't even talk about the birth of the baby. They didn't even say a word. Are these still biological sisters?

If Shi Lei hadn't come, she would have thought they didn't know.

Seeing her expression, Zhao Mei knew that she had said the wrong thing and should not mention this person.

Qin Hao changed the design drawings, but the foundation did not need to be changed. It's still so big, but the first floor is larger, leaving one room free for storage.

When the time comes to buy a car, it can also be used as a garage, with a boiler room separated by a wall.

Their design is considered the latest, and the buildings in the city are just like this.

Now that there is no running water, Qin Hao found someone to dig a well. This cannot be done in a day or two.

The ground for planting ginseng also needs to be plowed again, so Qin De keeps an eye on it, and Qin Hao goes to find someone to work in the fields the next day.

They all hire people. No one can help at this time. Others are busy farming, so it’s good to hire people.

"Is this how to grow ginseng?" Zhao Laoliu came to help grow ginseng after finishing the corn planting at home.

He didn't know how to make this thing, and he was too curious, so he came to work with it.

"Well, you can do whatever I ask you to do. That's it anyway." Qin Hao didn't want to explain, he was too tired.

With so many people, he has a clear division of labor and teaches people how to use the machine. Basically, they can master it after two trips.

Just planting is not enough. You also need to build a shed frame and then cover it with plastic sheeting to make a small shed.

To protect against the cold in autumn, you need to lay a layer of corn poles or other insulation materials.

Qin Hao guided everyone to work, but no one understood it at first, but they could do the work anyway.

"This is really technical work." Qin Dashan came over and didn't help, but just watched the fun.

Qin Hao was so tired that he didn't rest all morning. "Uncle, will you come and help me with some work? What a busy time it is."

Knowing that he planted ginseng, it can be said that he became famous in Qinjiapuzi, and many people watched the excitement.

Basically, no one is optimistic about him, and they just hope that he will be left with nothing but grass next year.

Qin Dashan didn't think so, but was very interested. After watching their operation, I think it can work.

"How old am I, and you still want me to work for you? You are not afraid of losing your conscience when you speak." He rolled his eyes and left directly.

"I'll go to your house to have dinner. I'll have six dishes a day. It's really like celebrating the New Year every day."

Hearing this, Qin Hao stopped chasing him. They all brought food with them when they were working in the mountains. Of course, it was definitely not as good as the food at home.

Going up and down the mountain was a waste of time and they couldn't afford it.

He took out the food he had brought and invited everyone to eat. Although it is not as good as the food at home, it is decent.

The old-fashioned bread is bought in a modern cake shop without labels, so you can eat it as you like. There are also ham sausages, which are stuffed by the meat sellers themselves, and there are no labels either.

The taste is okay. Qin Hao bought it after trying it. It's a bit expensive. Only by eating well can people work hard.

Even if you spend money to hire people, you still have to eat better.

In addition to these, he also bought roast duck and chicken.

I didn't bring the wine. They came to work, not to have a picnic.

After five days of busy work, Qin Hao planted ginseng in more than a dozen fields. The remaining land is also used to grow ginseng. There is not enough land to contract other people's land for five years. The price is not high, at least it is cheaper than buying land.

"There are still tiles at home that I haven't bought yet. I don't think it's necessary." Li Meiling really didn't understand. Why did she buy the tiles on the purchase list?

City people install ceramic tiles for the sake of appearance. Isn’t it a bit redundant for their homes to install ceramic tiles?

"It's not necessary." Qin Hao showed her some photos, which he brought back from the county tile store.

The house has been renovated and a small piece of wall has been put up.

Small ceramic tiles are most suitable for kitchens and bathrooms, but Qin Hao doesn't like the puzzle-like floor tiles.

It’s a pity that the current ceramic tiles are like this, and wooden floors are really not suitable for rural areas.

"Is this possible?" Li Meiling looked at a few photos and really changed her attitude towards ceramic tiles.

Qin Hao pointed to one of the photos and said: "At least the oil fume can be wiped off, otherwise the white wall will be blackened, which cannot be wiped off."

This is really convenient for cooking and housework.

In the end, Li Meiling agreed. She chose the color and style herself. There was no big difference, just white bricks.

The floor tiles are the light green color of the jigsaw puzzle, which is a bit rustic, but it will be these things for the next ten years.

The two finalized the style, and Qin Hao went to the county seat to order the tiles the next day. Good guy, the money for tiles has almost caught up with the money for materials to build a house.

It cost more than 800 yuan in total, and that was just for the tiles in the kitchen and bathroom. If more tiles were laid in other places, a thousand yuan would not be enough.

If according to Li Meiling's idea, instead of paving floor tiles on the first floor, cement tiles would be used. But if that doesn't work, then what's the point of paving the floor upstairs?

After buying these things, Qin Hao's matter will be gone. Qin De will be responsible for the construction, and the ginseng land will be handed over to Zhao Laoliu and Qin Dashan.

Qin Dashan is very passionate about this industry and goes to see it every day. Just two people can supervise the rest of the finishing work, and there's not much left to do.

"Brother-in-law, you'd better come with me. I don't dare to spend so much money." Li Haidong was a little scared.

He delivered clothes twice, and the payment was actually 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. He felt hot to the touch with the money.

On the way back, everyone looked like they were carjackers. It usually takes three hours to get home, but today we got home in two and a half hours.

Seeing him sweating profusely, Qin Hao hated the fact that iron cannot become steel, "Why are you so worthless? Will you be able to make a lot of money in the future?"

Where is this? If the ginseng is sold in the future, you will definitely earn hundreds of thousands.

In addition to being busy in spring, autumn and summer, there is no need to worry about ginseng in winter. We also need to prevent pests and diseases, which are not that serious. We don’t have those bugs yet.

The bugs that specialize in eating ginseng are due to the fact that it has been planted in the same land all year round, among various other reasons.

But now there is none, and his ginseng is not very good, it has been soaked in potion.

That is to say, they are fooling today's wholesalers. In modern times, the ginseng they grow can be worth more than ten yuan a pound, and they cannot be sold at any higher price.

Do you think it’s impossible? But that's what it is.
