Chapter 190 Foundation Stone
Chapter 190 Foundation Stone
Li Lanzhen saw that today's fish soup was very delicious. After entering the kitchen, she took out a large bowl from the space, filled it with one portion, and used another large bowl to fill five wild vegetable cakes and put them into the space.
She was thinking, would the silver fox be so stupid as to not eat it?
Of course the silver fox will eat it.
Staying in the space, although I don’t feel hungry, my sense of taste is still there.
When Li Lanzhen put a bowl of fragrant fish soup and wild vegetable pancakes into the space.
Silver Fox knew that it was the lady who prepared dinner for him.
He had built a simple shack next to the medicinal field.
Because the silver fox has been here for a few days, he feels that the temperature here is neither too cold nor too hot, but very comfortable, and there should not be any strong winds or rainstorms.
So they just built a shed, and placed a double wooden bed that Li Lanzhen took out inside.
The bedding and pillows were all prepared for him.
And they also thoughtfully prepared several sets of clothes for him.
Of course, these clothes were looted from the storehouse of the prince's uncle's mansion.
Tables, chairs, benches, pots, pans, and utensils were all prepared for him.
At this moment, Silver Fox was holding a bowl of steaming fish soup, taking big bites of the soft wild vegetable cake, and taking a sip of the soup, which instantly cured him of all the resentment, hatred, helplessness... and other emotions that he had been experiencing for some time.
Silver Fox's eyes were slightly red.
He was thinking about his sister, brother-in-law and nephew, wondering what their situation was like now, or where they had ended up.
Maybe they captured him and tortured him?
And I wonder if that damn uncle of the emperor, whom I assassinated, is dead?
No, next time the lady comes in, he will ask her to leave.
After thinking about it, Silver Fox decided that he should briefly tell the lady about his past and what he was going to do.
After dinner is the most relaxing and happy time of the day for everyone.
At this time, the children also sat with the adults and listened attentively to what the adults said about what they had done that day.
The children also know that this is their home, and their father, brother, mother and aunts are all building their home bit by bit.
Sometimes adults also tease children and ask them to talk about what they did during the day.
I won’t be a little glutton who only knows how to eat.
……
Li Lanzhen didn't say anything today. She didn't want to tell everyone about the existence of the small medicinal field so early.
Just sit down and listen to what they did today.
Han Shunde said that today they have drawn the foundations of every household's yard.
That day, Li Lanzhen said she wanted to build a yard for each of her three sons.
This idea was discussed by every family in the evening.
In the end, the heads of the families decided to build a yard for each of their sons or adult grandsons.
I usually live alone and eat together.
They all think this method is very novel, but when they think about it, it is a good idea. They don't have to have such a large family living together, causing chaos, and they, as the elderly, have to judge lawsuits for their children and grandchildren.
This increases the number of yards built.
However, no one objected or was annoyed, and everyone was happy to plan.
Having no ruler to measure, they used a rope.
Plan out the approximate size of a yard, and then the rest can be measured, calculated and arranged according to this size, house by house.
Zhang Deshui was planning to dig a large canal from the river in the reed marsh to the farmland.
This makes it more convenient to irrigate farmland.
At this time Li Xishui spoke.
“Brother Shunde, my father and I are in the mountains and have set our eyes on a piece of stone.
These stones can be used as foundation after a little trimming.
It just happens to be on the Dongshan side so there’s no need to cross the river?
However, with so many houses and yards, it would take more than ten days to transport the stones down the mountain."
After hearing this, Li Lanzhen asked his brother.
"Xishui, take me to see where the stones are and what their quality is like."
Li Xishui said, "Okay, sister, let's go and take a look now."
Han Minghai stood up and said to Li Lanzhen.
"Mom, I'll go with you."
Li Lanzhen paused. She had originally thought that when she got there and saw that it was suitable, she would use space to transport her there. But now she thought better of it.
It’s better to do such things by yourself.
"Okay, those who want to go can go, but the children shouldn't go. It's getting late, so wash up and go to sleep in the tree house."
Han Shunde, Xue Lao Hu, Xue Bao, Han Zhaoxiong and Zhang Deshui also followed.
Li Xishui brought them to the stone site they had chosen in Dongshan.
Han Zhaoxiong said happily when he saw this.
"This place is not far from our village. We just need to transport it down the mountain and then transport it back there."
Everyone stood on the mountain and looked down, it was indeed.
The area where they chose to build the village foundation was indeed not far from here.
This quarry is more than 100 square meters.
The surrounding area is full of tall trees, except for this area where no grass grows.
There are stones of all sizes and heights.
As soon as Li Xishui arrived here, he excitedly said to everyone.
"Sister, look at these stones, no matter they are big or small, they are all relatively regular, and one of them is relatively flat, which is perfect for the foundation.
My father and I just need to trim the edges and corners of the stone a little bit to make it more square, and it will be even better."
Li Lanzhen looked at this area carefully. Even if they were to build a house and lay the foundation for the yard, they would not be able to mine all the stones here.
That’s just right, the remaining can be used to build a factory later.
She also smiled and looked at Li Xishui and said.
"It's really good. Once it's transported down the mountain, you and Dad can slowly polish and fix it."
A group of people went down the mountain, and Li Lanzhen walked towards the foundation for building the village courtyard.
She wanted to see the foundation line they had dug.
Han Mingjiang walked beside Li Lanzhen.
Smiling foolishly, he kept introducing her to Li Lanzhen.
"Mom, we have already drawn all of this. Each family has a courtyard, and the front and back courtyards are both very large.
Uncle Shunde, there is a lot of space here, so just build it a little more spacious.
There are rows of yards between the yards, and there is also a small path in the middle for cars to pass.
Uncle Shunde also said that he wanted to build a road that would lead all the way to the farmland.”
Li Lanzhen nodded when she heard this, and it was indeed how it should be.
When building a road, it is best to pave it with stones so that the road will not be muddy even when it is windy or rainy, making it easy to walk on.
Li Lanzhen thought of this and said to Han Shunde.
"The main roads in our village can also be paved with gravel after they are repaired, so that when it rains, the roads will not be muddy."
Han Shunde said with a laugh.
"Yes, you have thought it through. After we have repaired the house and yard, we will also repair the road."
Han Mingjiang started to introduce again.
"Mom, look, every family's yard is the same size, and they are arranged in rows very neatly."
Li Lanzhen arrived at the residential land in the village and saw that all the courtyards seemed to have been dug a shovel deep, and they looked very neatly arranged in rows.
She glanced at the side again and saw an area that had obviously been tidied up, smooth and clean.
The place is still very empty, so when she uses the space to collect all the stones, she can just pile them here.
She pointed to the area in front.
"This is where the stones and wood are stored."
Han Shunde said.
"Yes, this is where materials such as stones, sand, and wood are stored."
Xue Lao Hu said.
"Tomorrow I will lead people into the mountains to cut wood."
Li Lanzheng continued quickly.
“When you have cut down the wood, you should place it on the mountain.
Just tell me the place when the time comes."
No one asked her why, and no one continued the topic.
Looking at the traces of the courtyard piece by piece, everyone seemed to see the courtyard house rising from the ground, and they were all excited.
