Chapter 296: Small Shack

Song Chuman: "Fifty-one, but today is the first day, and many people will not work until the afternoon, so there are only twenty-one people. We only need to cook for Uncle Wei and the people he brought with him."

Qian Meimei was a little worried: "But we have never cooked for so many people at once, so we don't have confidence."

Song Chuman said with a relaxed look, "It's okay. You can make it simpler at first. For example, you can cook vegetables in water and add the right amount of salt. And I'm not just inviting you two. I need to find five people in total. If you cook together, you can definitely do it well."

Hearing that there were five people in total, Sun Yulian and Qian Meimei both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, let's do it."

“We must try our best.”

Song Chuman smiled and nodded, and went to the Yang family again, and also invited Yang Qingrui's wife Xu Caocao, and Yang Qingli's wife Tian Xiaoyu.

Finally, he went to find You Yuanlin's wife Peng Cuiyu.

When the three heard that they could get 40 cents for cooking every day, they readily agreed.

Now that we have found someone to cook, we still have to find someone to buy groceries.

But she was the one who did the buying at the beginning, and after a while, she handed over the job of buying vegetables to others.

If no one can be found, the five-person cooking team will be asked to buy it.

As for buying vegetables, there are not many fresh vegetables in the city now.

In the early days of building houses, the most we could do was collect some chickens, ducks and geese from each household.

Song Chuman also didn't want to treat the craftsmen harshly, so she planned to give them some meat every day so that they would work more seriously.

The thirty people from the villages recruited today will not work until the afternoon, so there is no need to provide them with lunch.

However, she couldn't treat the twenty craftsmen brought by Wei He unfairly.

So she asked the five people to pack up their things after she left their house, and then come to her place immediately to prepare the meal. They had already wasted enough time today, and if they didn't come, the craftsmen would probably have to wait until after noon to eat.

The place where they built the house was a large open space with few trees around.

Therefore, after Song Chuman returned home, she asked her family members and aunts to cook first.

She and her brother went up the mountain and cut a lot of wood, intending to build a rest area for the craftsmen.

The so-called rest area is just a series of small shacks.

Next time, if you feel too tired or too hot, you can go directly to the shack to rest.

Also, she plans to build a simple kitchen near the cave.

The kitchen is also very large and has many small wooden stools.

In order to avoid a sudden rain while cooking or eating, the craftsmen can also rest in the rest area in the kitchen at noon.

After Song Chuman and her brother prepared the wood, Song Qingqing also prepared their own meals.

……

After being rejected, Song Hewei hurried back to his shack.

Song Hewei was angry: "Dad, my elder brother is too much. He doesn't want me to do the work, but wants Song Heyu and Song Hekun to do it. Song Chuman even beat me."

Li Cuicui was immediately furious. "How dare Song Hexiu ask those two people to do the work? Doesn't he know that our family and Song Xiangfu's family are enemies?"

Song Hewei's face was full of jealousy: "How could he not know? Everyone in the village knew what happened back then, but he just accepted those two people and spoke to them more gently than to me, as if they were his brothers."

Li Cuicui's injury had recently healed a little, and she immediately wanted to get up and settle the score with Song Hexiu.
