Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 803 is a big wonder

After the first triangular beam was erected in the middle of the house and copper coins were hung on it, the second triangular beam was lifted up and erected there.

At this step, two wooden boards need to be cross-nailed between the two triangular beams. The main function of these two wooden boards is to prevent the two triangular beams from tilting.

Soon, the other triangular beams were lifted up one after another, and the carpenters Niu Yichen and Niu Dalong walked back and forth between these triangular beams, nailing the connecting wooden boards.

A 20-meter-long house uses 21 triangular beams, which means the density of triangular beams is quite high.

If the thickness of the beam is taken into account, the distance between each two triangular beams is less than 70 centimeters. If you look at it from a distance, it appears that the triangular beams are touching each other.

I have to say that the house is built in a way that makes it look very solid. It is so sturdy that there is absolutely no chance of it collapsing.

There is strength in numbers, and when it comes to the job of putting up beams for a house, the more people there are, the better. So by the evening, around 5 o'clock, all the triangular beams of the two houses had been put up.

Tomorrow, the fences of the two houses can be nailed. The day after tomorrow, straw mats can be laid and mud can be packed. After that, tiles can be put on the roof.

Of course, after the roof of the house is completed, there is still a lot of work to be done, such as making doors and windows, building partition walls, laying fire dragons, building kangs, building stoves, installing ceilings, plastering walls, and so on.

Of course, these jobs are all interior decoration and require certain technical skills, so they certainly cannot be done quickly.

In short, these two houses cannot be occupied for a while.

However, as long as the roof of the house is completed, the progress of the entire project will be considered to be mostly completed, and those helpers who have no skills and only a lot of strength will be very tactful and not come.

In this way, whether it is food, meat or vegetables, they will not be consumed so quickly.

To be honest, the amount of food and meat consumed by these 90 people every day really put a lot of pressure on Wang An!
The key point is that this time is not like later generations. In later generations, as long as you have money, you can buy whatever you want. There are all kinds of things available, which are dazzling.

But at this time, even if you have money, you have nowhere to spend it. Anything that is in short supply will require a ticket. Not only do you need a ticket, but it is also limited. I ask you, are you worried?
So, seeing that the triangular beams of the two houses had been installed, Wang An was in a good mood.

When building a house in the countryside, raising the beam is a top priority, so the meal that Wang An’s family had today was quite awesome.

As for the rice, it was still steamed buns made of two kinds of flour, but the vegetables were quite amazing, all meat, a whole pot full of meat, without even a vegetable leaf.

In addition to meat, there is also fish.

Because just yesterday, Wang An took Mu Xueli and Wang Li to the river to fish with fishing nets.

With three people working together, their fishing efficiency can be said to be quite fierce. In less than half a day, the three of them pulled back three curtains of fish.

Of course, the cooperation between the three people was only a small part of the reason why so many fish were caught. The main reason was that the water resources in Heilongjiang Province were so good!

In this era, there were no such highly hated practices as electric fishing, nor such abominable river-blocking nets that killed all the fish, so there were really too many fish in this river.

As for fish, the taste will be completely different if it is cooked with oil or without oil.

Because Wang An had long realized that the reason he didn't want to eat fish was because there was no oil.

Fish stewed in salty water, after just a few meals, will make people feel disgusted.

The most important thing is that fish meat and rabbit meat are very similar. There is basically no fat in these two things. If you eat them for a long time, you will only become thinner and hungrier.

Of course, although there are many kinds of fish in the river, it is well known that some fish are delicious and some are not. Moreover, although Wang An and his two companions caught a lot of fish, they were mainly common fish such as grass carp, carp and black carp.

So the fish stewed in Wang An’s family basically consists of these three ingredients.

Fortunately, the only thing that Wang An's family had in abundance was oil. They stewed fish in a lot of oil, which made the helpers very happy.

It is worth mentioning that those who have been helping Wang An’s family since they started working there, although they do a lot of work every day, their complexions are no longer unhealthy, but have become rosy.

The feeling given is that coming to work at Wang An's house is actually to nourish the body and build up one's physique.

I have to admit, this is quite a strange story.

When he went to bed at night, Wang An put his ear close to Mu Xueqing's bulging belly as usual, listening carefully to the sound of the little life growing inside.

Although he still didn't hear anything, every time at this time, Wang An would feel his heart was particularly peaceful, as if his body and mind had been sublimated.

Just like the meaning of my existence is this little life in Mu Xueqing's belly.

After a while, when Wang An was trying hard to feel his blood, Mu Xueqing suddenly said to Wang An as if coaxing a child:

"Little An, go to sleep."

When Wang An heard this, his spiritual feelings were immediately interrupted, and he said unhappily:

"Just let me listen carefully to what my daughter is doing in there, can't I? Every time I hear the crucial moment, you interrupt me, really."

Mu Xueqing heard this and said with a smile:

"How do you know it's a girl? What if it's a boy?"

Wang An blinked his eyes, then pretended to be fierce and said:
"If it was a kid, I would beat him up first. Humph, he came here without my permission. Is that okay?"

In fact, to Wang An, boys and girls are the same, but Wang An found that Mu Xueqing cares more about this.

Because Mu Xueqing always asked Wang An anxiously whether he liked boys or girls, and with Wang An's cunning eyes, he naturally knew what Mu Xueqing was worried about.

So Wang An’s answer is always that he likes girls and he never says he likes boys.

And every time Wang An said he liked girls, Mu Xueqing would immediately smile, as if only in this way could Mu Xueqing relieve all the pressure.

It has to be said that although gender equality has been advocated at this time, the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls is still prevalent in the minds of the vast majority of people.

After Wang An finished speaking, Mu Xueqing patted Wang An with a smile on her face and said:

"You are the only one who is out of touch. Everyone else wants a son, but you only want a daughter every day."
