Mountain People

    Tie Dan held the big steamed buns that he was reluctant to eat, and jumped to Song Youxin, and said innocently, "Uncle Mu, that sister and brother were good people just now, they gave Tiedan steamed buns, I also asked the doctor to see my grandmother, and then went to prescribe medicine for everyone. Grandma said, those will cost a lot of money, how much is a lot?"

    Tie Dan's face was tangled, and his little face was about to wrinkle into a bun.

    Song Youxin smiled and picked up the iron egg, chatting with him and laughing and entering it, and inquiring like everyone else, confirming that Gu Shuixiu and his wife had no other purpose, he was relieved, thinking Next time, if I see Gu Shuixiu and his wife again, I must make friends with them. It is rare to see such kind and generous people now.

    The couple Gu Shuixiu, who had been talked about by Song Youxin at this time, had long gone and went to the slums to do good deeds. used.

    Although Gu Shuixiu felt a little pain in the flesh, but she thought that this money was ill-gotten wealth, and she felt more at ease when she used some of it for good deeds. After she figured it out, she let go.

    Now that they have been tossing for a day, it is impossible for them to go back, so they have to stay in Linhai County for another day.

    Gu Shuixiu plans to go to the timber shop to see if they can customize a fishing boat, so that they can only come by bamboo rafts every time. If you encounter a thunderstorm and take a bamboo raft at sea, it will be a life-threatening situation.

    Dong Chenghu has experienced it himself, and naturally knows the problems Gu Shuixiu said, and it is imminent to buy a fishing boat.

    The two went around a few alleys and finally found a carpenter who was doing private work. This carpenter has no money to open a shop, so he does everything at home, but the things he builds are very good, so people around him will find him if they need it, and the price is cheap. , to beat his reputation.

    Gu Shuixiu and Dong Chenghu entered the carpenter's yard and saw the wood in one place. Most of them were polished, but they were not assembled, and I couldn't see what they were.

    The carpenter saw Gu Shuixiu and his wife and knew that the business was coming, so he quickly greeted them warmly.

    "What do you two want to buy? Or do you need to customize something? The quality of the things I made by Datou Li will definitely reassure you..."

    Without waiting for Gu Shuixiu to speak, Li Datou has already made a hype about himself. This man is really a business man.

    Gu Shuixiu pursed her lips and chuckled lightly, waiting for Li Datou to stop before laughing: "Our husband and wife came here after listening to someone's recommendation, we want to customize a fishing boat, I wonder if Master Li can Do?"

    "Yes! Why can't you? Some of the fishing boats on the Linhai River were bought from me. I am very good at making fishing boats. No matter what you want, I have both." Li Datou proudly patted his chest and assured.

    Gu Shuixiu looked at Dong Chenghu.

    Dong Chenghu said at this time, "What we want is different from ordinary fishing boats. We need to be able to live in people like fishing boats, but they are larger than fishing boats and have a deeper depth than fishing boats. In addition, we will I often go out to sea, although it is only in the coastal waters, but there are many reefs in the coastal waters, if the ship is too sinking and it is easy to hit the reef, if it is not sinking enough, it will be troublesome if it encounters wind and waves, can you solve these problems?”

    Li Datou listened carefully to Dong Chenghu's request, and when Dong Chenghu finished speaking, he frowned and said, "I can handle your request, but the fishing boat made according to your request may be more than average. The fishing boat is much larger, but it is much smaller than the small passenger boat. I will not hide from you, I have been fishing this fishing boat for more than ten years, but I have never hit a fishing boat like this. I am afraid that I will ask my master to help me out. A lot of time, I don’t know if you are in a hurry to ask for it?”

    Dong Chenghu nodded and expressed his understanding, "Just tell me how long it will take to make such a fishing boat. In addition, we should prepare in advance how much it will cost."

    Li Datou relaxed when he saw that Dong Chenghu was so good at talking, "An ordinary fishing boat costs four taels of silver, and your boat is more expensive for wood, so I will charge you six taels of silver. You pay a deposit of four taels first. , when the time comes, come pick up the goods and pay the remaining 2 taels of silver. It will take about fifteen to twenty days. If you are not in a hurry, come and pick them up after twenty days."

    Gu Shuixiu paid the deposit first, and the two took a receipt and left.

    The next day, the couple got up before it was dawn. When they returned to Qingping Mountain before noon, Dong Chenghu continued to burn bricks, while Gu Shuixiu picked seaweed to dry.

    For more than 20 consecutive days, the two of them burned bricks as if they were dying. Even the low-lying areas outside the yard were full of bricks. Gu Shuixiu counted some numbers, and almost grinned with joy.

    "Chenghu, I did the math, these bricks are probably enough for us to build a small yard with two entrances, let's make a courtyard style, that's it..."

    Gu Shuixiu drew a drawing on the ground with a branch. From the drawing she drew, Dong Chenghu could see that the whole yard was like the word "Sun", divided into a front yard, a back yard, and a back yard Mainly used for living, seven rooms can be built, one hall in the front yard, two side rooms outside, two rows of houses on both sides of the yard, maybe six rooms can be built.

    One is a kitchen, one is a bathroom, one is a utility room, one is a firewood room, and there are two remaining rooms as guest rooms. As for the side rooms on both sides of the hall, they are locked up, which can be used to store food, etc., as a warehouse.

      Guaranteed. At that time, it would be more perfect to raise two or three wolf dogs. Dong Chenghu from the province occasionally travels far and has to worry about the safety of Gu Shuixiu at home alone.

    One month passed in a hurry, Dong Chenghu set the trap and took Gu Shuixiu on the road back to Caozi Village again. This time, the couple did not rush like last time. They set off one day earlier, bringing some broken rice and a piece of coarse cloth to visit Qin's house.

    Last time Uncle Qin made a bamboo raft in order to send news to them, and he didn't go out hunting for a day or two. You must know that Uncle Qin is the backbone of their family. The rations are gone, so they should thank them for Uncle Qin's friendship.

    The two got up early to go out, and arrived at Uncle Qin's house in the early morning, for fear that their house would be empty after arriving late.
