70: Raising a wife, the whole village is inhaling the aroma of stewed meat.

Moreover, old ginseng is quite good and very expensive. Only when you can successfully dig up an old ginseng can you be considered to have graduated from your apprenticeship!

It typically takes about twenty years for a ginseng digger to learn the trade and become a master!

Zhou Qingwen naturally did not show off his ginseng-digging skills in front of his father, Zhou Feitian.

What if he even knows how to dig ginseng?

There's no doubt that Zhou Feitian's son has a problem!

The Zhou Qingwen of the past would not have dug for ginseng, because he never had the opportunity.

Zhou Qingwen also found this information in his original memories.

So he watched Zhou Feitian dig for ginseng very carefully, so that if he ever dug up ginseng in the future, he could say that he had a talent for it, and that he learned how to dig for ginseng just by watching Zhou Feitian.

Although this is a little far-fetched.

However, Zhou Qingwen learned to hunt on his own without anyone guiding him. Zhou Feitian thought to himself that the hunting genes from his ancestors had probably been passed down to Zhou Qingwen.

Look how happy I am!

The next day

The craftsmen that Zhou Feitian found all arrived and first built a simple shed for Zhou Qingwen's family.

This way, people can temporarily live there later.

And the things in this old house were gradually moved out.

At this point, Liu Yue'e had Zhou Qingwen say that her mother was not in good health and would stay home to watch over the place and cook.

The reason was that Liu Yue'e was carrying a huge sum of money.

Therefore, Zhou Qingwen simply stopped letting Liu Yue'e go to work.

The eldest brother and the second brother's families also contributed to the household's work.

The eldest and second eldest brothers get up two hours early every day to go to the fields early and earn work points.

The eldest and second sisters-in-law dared not object.

Because Liu Yue'e is very protective of money; if someone were to steal it, she would regret it for eight hundred years!

Liu Yue'e also cleans the house every day and is busy boiling water and cooking for the workers.

There are also family members who cook for them.

Zhou Qingwen said that he would take out the wolf meat from his home and cook it with green beans and wolf meat rice for everyone.

Lunch must include both meat and rice.

The wages for the workers were not very high. It was about 7 cents a day for skilled workers, 5 cents a day for unskilled workers, and 4 cents a day for general laborers.

However, the host family has to provide a meal at noon.

The cost of materials is calculated separately.

If the food at the host's house is good, the workers will work harder, and the construction period will be shortened.

If the host family's meals consist of thin corn porridge, then the construction of the house will take a very long time.

Because they lacked the strength to move bricks, they had no strength to do any work.

Liu Yue'e glanced at Zhou Feitian: "Husband, what do you say?"

"Okay, listen to the third brother, give them more meat, make wolf meat and green bean rice, make sure they're full!"

Zhou Feitian lowered his voice and said, "The sooner the house is built, the sooner we can move into our new house."

Liu Yue'e immediately perked up and said, "Okay, I'll go cook!"

Zhou Feitian's meaning was clear: the sooner the house was built, the more money would have a place to put it.

Otherwise, would Liu Yue'e have stayed at home all this time?

I'm not entirely at ease with it.

Moreover, it gives the impression that this is a case of trying too hard to hide something.

So Liu Yue'e realized that the sooner the house was built, the more at ease the whole family would be.

The new house has significantly more rooms than the old one.

After all, both the eldest and second eldest sons were willing to contribute 100 yuan each to the house construction project.

Zhou Qingwen was even more generous, giving him another 500 yuan.

Suddenly, the mud-brick house was expanded into a large house with seven or eight rooms.

Although it has seven or eight rooms, it's not considered very big. For a small farming family, it would be considered a fairly large house.

Because Zhou Feitian said that they couldn't let anyone find out that they had become rich overnight.

Building a single-story house would be too expensive, so we opted for an adobe house instead.

However, instead of thatched houses, at least they now use roof tiles.

Adobe houses with tiled roofs are much more comfortable; they are warm in winter and cool in summer.

It's very comfortable.

It must be said that the mud-brick and tile houses of this era are also a part of the childhood memories of a generation.

The sound of rain hitting the roof tiles when it rains.

Children were playing in the puddles on the ground...

When Zhou Qingwen was building the old house, he contributed 500 yuan, so he still has 1500 yuan in savings.

However, Zhou Qingwen still wanted to go hunting in the mountains.

This wild ginseng is an opportunity; once you seize it, you'll become an overnight millionaire.

However, you can't go there often.

I'm afraid someone might be secretly following me!

During this period, Zhou Feitian was to work for points so that the villagers wouldn't find out that they had obtained wild ginseng.

You know, when it comes to making money, it's all about making a fortune quietly and discreetly!

Where can I go and tell everyone that I've found ginseng?

The women in the family gave them special instructions.

You are not allowed to tell anyone about this wild ginseng digging.

Even Zhou Jinfeng confessed.

You should know that Zhou Qingwen told Zhou Feitian that they would go to Bizi Ridge to find ginseng after a while!

Zhou Feitian also agreed.

After discussing it with his family, Zhou Qingwen set off to hunt very early in the morning, before dawn.

He brought a bow and arrows with him this time, and the captain of the bow and arrow unit immediately agreed to sell them to Zhou Qingwen.

The day before yesterday

Because Zhou Qingwen had money to give to Liu Yue'e, Liu Yue'e said that it would come from the money used at home.

Because the prey hunted here is used for food and drink at home.

Therefore, it is not necessary to use Zhou Qingwen's personal savings.

Zhou Qingwen said nonchalantly, "It's okay."

Liu Yue'e then said, "That won't do. If you earn money and Mom gives you too little, it's your filial piety if you don't blame me."

However, if you need to buy something, Mom won't let you use the public money. That's because Mom doesn't care about you. Listen to me, use the money here.

Then Zhou Qingwen said that he would sell the captain's bow and arrows to him as a whole set for 27 yuan.

Liu Yue'e gasped. She suddenly realized she shouldn't be so stingy with the third child; it was too expensive. "27 yuan, I'll give it to you!"

Zhou Qingwen laughed and said, "Mom, I also want to buy the captain's hunting rifle."

"You little brat! You think you're so tough, huh? You spent 27 yuan in one go and now you want to buy a gun?"

Zhou Feitian laughed and said, "Once you get used to a hunting rifle, it's more important than your life in the mountains!"

Liu Yue'e glanced at her husband, then gritted her teeth and said, "I'll buy it. How much is the hunting rifle?"

"Mom, the brigade leader said I can decide how much to give, but I think I should give 35 yuan for the shotgun;

Because Old Zhao said that a slightly used hunting rifle is worth at least 30-45 yuan.

Liu Yue'e counted the money in her pocket: "35 yuan, you brat, I really regret telling you to use the family's money. You spend money too fast."

Zhou Qingwen laughed and wiped his nose, saying, "I'm going to deliver the money to the brigade leader."

"Okay, go ahead."

Zhou Feitian said, "Keep a better attitude."

"Okay, I got it."

This happened a couple of days ago.

It was early morning, the weather was slightly cool, but not cold.

Zhou Qingwen checked all his hunting tools and weapons at home yesterday.

He also had a ring of darts around his body.

Those dart bags are also quite good; they're made of leather, with one dart per compartment.

Zhou Qingwen may not be able to fly now, but his combat prowess is quite high.
