Chapter 163 Building a shed
Lin smiled and nodded: "The mung bean soup is made for everyone to drink. If you can't finish it here, you can take some home."
Several women were so happy that they didn't know what to say, especially Zhou's daughter-in-law, a rare smile appeared on her sallow face.
"Mother Jingwen is so kind to us, we can't be vague, we must do our job beautifully."
Lin smiled and said, "Let's make a deal first. We can't work on an empty stomach. The food I provide here is to replenish everyone's energy. Don't be reluctant to eat it."
"No, no, no..."
After drinking mung bean soup and having a good rest, everyone returned to work with great enthusiasm again.
Several women were telling each other funny stories, and laughter could be heard from time to time in the threshing ground, attracting passers-by to take a look.
Time passed quickly and the sun rose overhead.
Everyone took a bowl of mung bean soup and went home happily.
Cui Jingwen gave the account to Lin, showing that a total of 410 bowls and 85 basins were replenished in the morning.
After deducting the wages, there are more than 600 coins left.
It's only been two hours.
"The progress was a bit slow at the beginning, and everyone needed to get used to each other. It will probably be more in the afternoon," said Cui Jingwen.
Silang had been at the threshing ground and knew where the problem lay.
The aunts were a little unfamiliar with the work at first, but gradually picked up the speed and worked very quickly. However, the boys could not keep up with the progress, and the aunts often ran out of bowls and had to wait for them to move them out of the warehouse.
This is too slow.
Several people packed up and prepared to go home.
Si Lang pursed his lips and said, "Aunt San, I won't go back. I'll ask Xiao Wu to bring the meal over later. I won't sleep after lunch. I'll move the bowls that need to be filled in the afternoon in advance."
Waiting for the aunts to come over, we can start working directly, which will save a lot of time.
Lin patted Shiro's back gently.
"There's always work to do. Besides, we've already hired people, so why should we just tire ourselves out?"
Shiro was a little conflicted, but still wanted to stay here.
He understood everything Aunt San said, but he couldn't do the work, and it was his family that suffered the loss.
Cui Chengliang stared at the warehouse for a while and suddenly said, "After dinner, I'll come over and build a shed outside. It'll be right outside the warehouse door. It'll be up in an hour."
The warehouse was built to store grain, so the lighting inside was not good.
They used it temporarily for a few days. They came in a hurry in the morning and chose a place to work under the shade of a tree. It was out of the sun, but it was some distance away from the warehouse.
It takes two or three minutes to carry the bowl from the warehouse to the shade of the tree, and you have to be careful not to drop the bowl. The effort of going back and forth is completely unnecessary.
Lin looked in the direction where he pointed and saw the outer wall of the warehouse, the ground was very flat.
"...We can just use it for a few days. We can just build some beams with sticks and find some hay to cover it."
Cui Chengliang patiently explained to Lin how long the wood would be, how large the area would be after the structure was built, and so on, explaining everything in great detail.
Lin was listening attentively and nodded along with his words.
"Then trouble you."
"No trouble, just a simple thing."
Cui Chengliang was not exaggerating. It was really nothing to him. It was not impossible to build a more complicated house.
Si Lang, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Uncle San, you can do this, I've never heard you say this before!"
Cui Chengliang smiled and flicked his forehead: "There are many things you don't know, come and help me after dinner."
"it is good!"
Shilang's troubles were easily resolved, and the group returned home with smiles on their faces.
