After Emptying the Enemy’s Warehouse, He Carried Supplies To Survive the Disaster Years

Chapter 73 Snow in October

“No matter what, let’s settle down for this winter first.

 Brother Hong will go on another trip and come back with more needles and thread. "

 Ziyu, who had explained the matter, gave Hong Feiyang two hundred taels of gold tickets and led Xiao Luo back to the wooden house.

 After dark, the coolness in the mountains becomes increasingly intense, with the temperature often dropping to zero degrees in the middle of the night. As soon as the sun rises during the day, the air is crisp and clear in autumn.

 Half of the first batch of cotton purchased was used to make quilts. After adding a set of cotton clothes for each person, there was not much cotton left.

Hong Feiyang bought the cotton back in time and put it to good use.

 Ziyu did not expect that the low temperature in the mountains would come so early. Now that there is enough fabric and cotton, the embroiderer and maid should also come in handy.

 The next day, the purchasing ship returned to Daxia Bay, and people looking for fish in the bay waved excitedly.

“Sha Dalang, I have only one request for Kaner Village.

 There is no need to hire so many people next year, only carpenters and house builders will be needed. "

 After lunch, everyone who got on the boat carried a large rattan basket on their backs and a small basket of fresh fish in their hands.

Xiaosi Zhuzhu lived with Cheng Yuanju, and the left wing adjacent to the inverted room, as well as several men who had not returned to the valley, were also assigned to the three left wing rooms.

“What Old Hu said is that you will still be responsible for building houses and furnishing furniture after next spring.

Master, please give the children some time. None of them want to go back to their old lives. "

 …

The windows are bright and clean, and each room is equipped with four-pane glass windows. As for the furniture in the house, it is relatively simple and can only be used temporarily.

It snows in the mountains and it won't stop. I'm afraid it will be difficult to walk on the road if it's late.

 The cook started the small stove alone, and the exquisite food whetted the appetites of both of them.

 She can provide the daily necessities and food needed in the early stage.

He was still wearing a single coat when he left, but it started snowing in the blink of an eye, which was half a month earlier than he knew it would snow.

“Uncle Tie, the second yard from here behind you is the yard for you.

“Little brother, wear a cotton coat, it’s too cold!” Tiedan, who was wearing two single clothes, was so cold that his face was blue and his nose was red, and he was rubbing his hands.

 Might as well let it fend for itself.

The maid, mother-in-law, cook and embroiderer took Cheng Yuanshu and lived in three wing rooms on the right side.

 Great Summer Castle does not raise useless people! "Zi Yu said seriously.

 Get as much dried fish and coarse salt as you can! You can also come and catch the sea when you have time. "Ziyu saw Shanzi standing not far away and waved to him.

I will give you ten bolts of coarse cloth and two bags of cotton, enough for you to survive the winter.

 The temperature inside the house was not disturbed by the snowflakes outside the window at all, which made the servants extremely happy.

 The fire pit and fireplace in the house were also built according to Ziyu's requirements.

“Remember what you said, I will not say it a second time.

Sha Dalang looked at the sturdy, tall yard with envy and thought about the house they built.

 …

 Less than two months, it will still be calculated as two months’ wages, and the dried fish will still be paid! "

　　The cultivated land has been carefully plowed a second time, and the grass roots that were dug out were dried and burned in the field.

 Domestic affairs are all in charge of Liu Ye, while Shengxing is only responsible for external affairs.

“Little brother, Sha Dalang and the others have already settled in Kaner Village.

“Little Master, it’s been almost two months since we came out, and everyone is worried about their families.

Sha Dalang understood the meaning of the words and quickly expressed his feelings. Life now is far better than when the dock was still there.

 After moving into the new yard, Ziyu and Xiaoluo no longer had big pot meals with everyone.

As soon as Ziyu finished speaking, Tiedan shouted at the top of his lungs.

“Master, I understand!

 Don't even dare to slack off. The current life is already a rich and peaceful life for Xiao Xiao.

“Shan Zi, take Sha Dalang to Butler Sheng to get something. Do you hear me clearly?”

Each single room has a heated kang and an iron chimney for heating. The two fireplaces in the inverted room send warmth to the penthouses on both sides.

 But if you want her to keep her in vain, there is no point in buying these people.

"The two families left in Kaner Village are very poor. They have not been out of the mountains for five years. They are willing to be tenant farmers, as long as they have something to eat..."

Twenty percent of the rent is paid to the valley every year, and the necessary daily necessities must be exchanged for grain or other things of corresponding value.

 Such a house is a treatment that even servants from wealthy families cannot enjoy, but they enjoy it in this isolated place.

“Thanks to the young master, I appreciate the young man’s craftsmanship, so I will accept the offer.

The clothes and quilts are all ready inside. Go to Butler Sheng to get the key. "

Seeing that the group was extremely cold, Ziyu asked them to find Liu Ye and Sheng Xing.

 Things in the cave and the wooden house are classified and stored in the left side room of the back room.

 When the purchasing ship comes back, I will send you back to Xin'an County.

　　Ten days later, light snow fell in the mountains, and as soon as it fell, it melted into the ground and disappeared.

 A circular corridor one and a half feet wide connects the courtyards.

The people who went to Kaner Village to help all returned to the valley when the first snow fell, and Sha Dalang and four others came with them.

Half of the land was cultivated, and we built a wall at the intersection out of the mountain..."

 The lofts of the twelve courtyards in the valley have all been completed, and the smell of tung oil has also disappeared.

 The general construction in the valley has been completed, and the construction of wooden buildings and furniture can only be done next year.

Wang Xingwang's ship to Dujiang Prefecture has not returned yet, and those who have been free for a while, at Ziyu's signal, go into the mountains in groups to pick up dead branches and broken trees.

 The changes in the valley naturally aroused everyone's amazement. Tiedan and Sha Dalang only had time to take a look before they went to Ziyu to report.

Old man Hu saw that it snowed earlier than usual and there was no work in the valley for a while, so he took the initiative to talk to Ziyu about it.

Since there were only about thirty houses in the outer circle, Ziyu took Xiao Luo to live in the back room.

Seeing at the gate of Kaichun County next year, I will go there to wait for my son every day. "

 “Master, the house here is so nice!” Sha Dalang said with envy.

As soon as Tiedan saw Ziyu, he hurriedly told him what he had done during this period.

Compared with the houses in the valley, the mud-walled and grass-roofed kangs are not as well treated as mules and calves.

 After the spring of next year, the valley will provide the first season of seeds, and you will have to deal with the subsequent rations by yourself.

 In half a day, the dead branches in the valley were piled up like a hill, which was enough for one winter.

The old man smiled with wrinkles on his face, and his words were full of affection. People who didn't know better thought it was a date or something.

Ziyu understands these people’s thoughts very well and will definitely not make a mistake.

 “Go, Butler Sheng will make arrangements for you.”

 “Master, please hear me clearly!” Shan Zi said, holding back the chill.

 The younger one will take good care of Kaner Village and will never hold the young master back.

 “Prosperity, prosperity, prosperity to the steward!”

　　I suddenly thought of Ziyu and rubbed the goosebumps on my arms.

The reverse suite was given to Shengxing and Chen, who brought up the family.

 Ziyu took a group of servants and moved into the new courtyard.

Threads of smoke are rising day and night in this valley.

 The top of the big rattan basket is their clothes and bedding, and the bottom is dried fish or dried whale. More people choose dried whale.

 Because real meat is more attractive to them.
