Chapter 212 Overbearing Fragrance
Su He smiled flatteringly, "This is all because of the old lady and Mother Zhang's teachings. Hehehe, old lady, I have a favor to ask of you."
When Chen heard this, she said seriously, "You tell me, as long as I can do it."
"Hey, aren't we building a house in Qingshan Village? We're from outside the area and didn't know that bricks and tiles need to be reserved. Do you have any connections? We plan to finish the house in a month and then quickly start farming. There are more than a dozen families who want to build houses."
Chen looked helpless, this was also called asking for a favor.
"You've asked the right person. Wen'er's mother has opened a brick kiln. You can go and get some green bricks tomorrow. We also have tiles. We'll give you the cost price. Green bricks are 5 wen each, tiles are 1 wen each, and earthen bricks are worthless, 1 wen for 1 pieces. A'yuan, give her a note. Ask someone to tell Qingli that the kiln will first supply the bricks to Hehua this month."
Su He excitedly flattered Chen, "Madam, you are really amazing. All of us have benefited from it."
Chen replied with a smile, "You protected Wen'er, so of course we have to repay you. Wen'er said that you all treated him well. In that case, I can't be too stingy. Besides, it's not free. We have recovered the cost. If you want someone to deliver the goods, you have to pay for the freight."
Su He nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, this will save us a lot of trouble. We need to build a wall for each house. We will use earth bricks for this and blue bricks for the regular houses."
"You plan to stay here until you grow old, so the blue bricks are the best choice."
Mother Zhang also followed up with suggestions.
"What Madam Zhang said makes sense. It's late today, so I'll ask my cousin to go back and do the statistics tomorrow. By the way, Madam, can I come tomorrow morning?"
"Come after breakfast and stay here for a day. You don't have to build a house, so there's no need to rush."
Su He quickly agreed, and they talked about the drought and earthquake again. Mother Zhang sighed.
"Luckily you were smart and escaped quickly and came here. There was a plague in the suburbs of the capital, and the whole village was infected. In the end, many victims who fled to the capital died. Our southern route is blocked in Su'an. I heard that the magistrate is very capable. He has controlled all the pharmacies in the city. He boils medicine at the city gate every day. The victims who arrive have to drink it twice a day. Only those who have no symptoms can pass. It is free to drink in this city."
Su He also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Tianyuan Group 2 in Qinglong Village should be fine. The magistrate was a rare good official.
The houses of the people in Tianyuan Village, far away in Qinglong Village, have been built. Although most of them are made of earth bricks, everyone is very happy. This place is really nice. The magistrate even sent them medicine, and none of them got sick.
"Village chief, I wonder how He Hua and the others are doing now? The city gates were opened yesterday, and I went to inquire. Some of the escorts who went with them came back and said that He Hua and the others took the water route, and they are estimated to have arrived in the next few days."
The three village chiefs gathered together to discuss farming matters, and a boy from Sanshi Village came over to tell everyone the latest information.
Su Bingyi nodded with relief. This was good news.
"Let's loosen the soil and plant the seeds that Lotus gave us in the next few days. Lotus asked us to plant them in our backyard. So let's plant them first among the three of us. Don't tell anyone yet."
Village Chief Xu and Wang Zhun both had no objections, but the more than 400 people were not united in their opinions, so it was better not to say anything for now.
The Su'an County Government Office was also busy at this time. Qi Chengming used the prescription given by Su He to prevent the epidemic. Now he remembered the sweet potatoes that Su He mentioned.
"Master, did Su Hehua say she would give us some sweet potatoes?"
The master was confused, but the chief clerk beside him heard, "Sir, someone came to report that the grain store was robbed, so we asked them to leave first."
Qi Chengming thought of Chen Shi specifically mentioning sweet potatoes and the astonishing yield, and he regretted missing it.
"Sir, aren't Su Hehua's people in Qinglong Village? They must have sweet potatoes."
Yes, now is the time to farm.
"Send a few people to ask. If they have any, ask them to hand over half and we will buy it at the price of rice. Then ask them how to grow it and be polite."
Village chief Xu and others on this side don’t know that the sweet potatoes in their hands are also being coveted by others. If they knew, they would probably have planted them on the spot.
An hour later, the three men sent away the people in the yamen who looked like bandits in a dishevelled manner.
Su He had already left the Zhao Mansion and followed Wang Bin back to the inn. It was already past six o'clock, and the four of them had dinner together in Su He's third-class room.
"What are your plans for tomorrow? I will be staying with the old lady at the Zhao residence tomorrow."
Liu Bai and Wang Facai didn't say anything. One of them was like a gourd with its mouth sawed off, and the other felt that he had no say in the matter.
Only Wang Bin replied to his sister, "Sister, you don't have to worry about it. We will build the house. Just focus on the Zhao Mansion. Liu Bai, you can stay with He Hua tomorrow."
Fa Cai and I will go to the brick kiln to get to know the people first, then buy some food and take these two wooden boxes back to the village to tell our Tianyuan group the good news. Everyone should calculate the number of bricks and tiles needed, and we will prepare the money first. "
The remaining three people had no objection, "Brother, you and Brother Fa Cai should not go back to the city, stay in the village and rest for a while, I may be back the day after tomorrow."
Wang Bin nodded, Liu Bai alone was enough.
"That book must be well protected, it's very precious. Let Mu Tou and the others read it carefully when we get back. When our house is built, I will find a school for him and Tie Tou."
Speaking of Tietou's studies, Wang Bin also looked very serious. This was a very important matter. "Don't worry, I'll ask grandpa and grandma to keep an eye on them when we get back."
Tietou, who was running around at the foot of Qingshan Village, sneezed several times. He was so scared that he immediately went back to Zhou to ask for ginger water to drink. He didn't know that his miserable days were approaching.
You can’t imagine the pain of a poor student.
After everyone finished dinner, Su He went back to her room to rest. She was very tired after a busy day in the morning and storytelling in the afternoon. She felt that she was going to lose weight.
It was a rare opportunity to sleep alone, so Su He happily closed the doors and windows, spread out the quilt on the bed, took a floral bed sheet from the space and spread it on top, and also replaced the pillow and quilt with his own.
After doing all this, I went into the space and took a nice shower. After blowing the roots of my hair dry, I wrapped them with a dry hair cap.
Apply some modern skin care products and then start eating snacks.
Modern snacks are intoxicating. I drank a lot of milk tea today. Suhe changed the flavor and opened a bottle of Fat House Happy Water. He finished half of the can in one breath.
Then he took out a portion of vegetarian spicy hot pot, quickly ate a few meatballs, some enoki mushrooms, slurped a few mouthfuls of instant noodles and put them into the space, then took a big sip of fat house happy water.
The sense of happiness given by my mother’s family is overwhelming.
After eating the spicy hot pot, he had a serving of spicy dry noodles. He picked it up with chopsticks and spun it in circles, then added some pickles made by Zhou on top. One chopstick of noodles filled his entire mouth. Su He closed his eyes and enjoyed it.
After a while, I heard someone shouting downstairs, "Boss, what delicious food did your chef make? It smells so good! Give me one portion!"
The shopkeeper downstairs was bewildered. He explained in panic that he didn't cook anything, but the aroma kept coming. It was so overbearing that the whole building was in a frenzy. The kitchen on the first floor was surrounded by people. Everyone rushed to see if there was anything good in the kitchen. After a thorough search, they found nothing. The angry guests all ran to the shopkeeper to ask for an explanation.
Su He was so scared that he quickly put the culprit into the space, and then rinsed his mouth desperately. After doing all this, he opened the window for ventilation. When the shopkeeper downstairs finally calmed down everyone's anger and went upstairs to investigate, there was no smell in Su He's room.
