Chapter 319: Break ground

Chapter 319 Breaking Ground

Thinking of this, Gu Daya suddenly fell in love with Mo Qinzi. The more he thought about it, the more he fell in love with Mo Qinzi.

It’s just that Mo Qinzi is only thirteen and Brother Ping is already twenty. There is a big age difference. I wonder if it will work?

Seeing Gu Daya frowning and thinking, the third grandmother couldn't help but ask: "Daya, what's wrong with you? What are you thinking about? Is the braised food business not doing well?"

"The braised food business is going well. You don't have to worry. I just don't think it's worth it for Sister Qin. For the sake of Lao Mo's family, my reputation will be wasted." Gu Daya is a safe person and knows that it is not easy to accomplish this. , I didn’t say it out loud, I just kept it silently in my heart, thinking about it and seeing it again, and then talking about it if it happened.

 After they talked a few words about Mr. Mo’s family, they put it aside.

The next day is the first day of May, which is a good day for Qin Gu Luotian to break ground and start construction of several shops.

Several families got up before dawn, killed chickens and stewed meat, prepared sacrifices, took them to the wasteland in the town on carts, set up incense tables, and began to worship the gods from all directions.

 After worshiping the gods, at the right hour, the masons in Yanfu Village began to break the soil and dig the foundation.

Yuan Laorong, according to custom, brought six carts of green bricks when he broke ground at an auspicious time.

 Also came Chang Errui.

Chang Errui, who could speak, raised his hands to the third grandfather and said: "Grandpa Gu, our Yuan family brick kiln has sent bricks to you. There are six carts of bricks in total. I wish you good luck and good luck in the future."

Mrs. Chen had seen Chang Errui a long time ago. She was very satisfied when she saw that he was tall, strong, good-looking, and well-dressed. She grinned and said, "You are really good at talking, and you always say nice things out of your mouth. It's auspicious." very."

Ms. Chen's gaze was so intense that Chang Errui thought he was meat on the chopping board. He smiled sheepishly and quietly took two steps back, farther away from Mrs. Chen: "Hello, Aunt Gu."

"Okay, okay, your aunt, I'm fine today. Have you had breakfast? You came so early, you must not have eaten. Wait, aunt will get you something delicious." Mrs. Chen ran to the basket in a hurry. Next, he took a bowl, put four bean dregs cakes in it, and then took a bowl of soy milk and gave it to Chang Errui: "These are the golden bean cakes and soy milk from our Gujia tofu stall. They are famously delicious. You Eat quickly, if you don’t have enough, my aunt will get it for you."

Chang Errui was flattered and said hurriedly: "That's enough, that's enough. Auntie doesn't need to take any more. I can't finish all this."

Mrs. Chen looked at him and said, "Why can't you finish the meal? Between the boss and the young man, there is no one who can't finish it. Just finish it all. If you eat more, you will be in good health and will be blessed."

As he said that, he brought a stool and placed it next to Chang Errui. He patted the stool and said, "Sit down. It tastes better when you sit down."

Chang Errui held two bowls and looked at his father as if asking for help.

Yuan Laorong had no time to pay attention to him, and was being pulled to talk by brother Gu Dafu.

“What are you looking at? Eat quickly, brother Rui, or it’ll get cold.” Mrs. Chen stared at the side, as if Chang Errui wouldn’t leave until she ate.

Chang Errui was sweating on his forehead. He had been delivering blue bricks to his father for so many years. It was the first time he met such an enthusiastic host, which made him a little overwhelmed.

 There was no other way, Chang Errui could only eat the four bean dregs cakes in the bowl, and then drink another bowl of soy milk.

"Thank you, Aunt Gu." Chang Errui thanked Mrs. Chen, got up and went to the wooden bucket, washed the empty bowl with water, and put it into the basket nearby.

Mrs. Chen became more and more satisfied when she saw it. This young man is pretty good. He still knows how to wash the dishes after eating. He is much better than Sister Mei.

Ms. Chen is very satisfied with Chang Errui. After Gu Dagui talked with Yuan Laorong, he was also very satisfied with the Yuan family.

This Yuan Laorong is a forthright, upright, trustworthy and loyal person. With such a leader, the family tradition of the Yuan family must be of the highest quality, needless to say. If Sister Mei can marry into the Yuan family, it will be a real blessing. La. Gu Dafu's family was surrounding the Yuan family, while Gu Dashan was talking to Foreman Yuan about the style of the shop with the drawings drawn by Gu Jinli.

Foreman Yuan was in his early forties, with a medium height and a Chinese character face. After seeing the courtyard drawn on the drawing, he smiled and said: "This style of shop is good, it can completely separate the back house from the front shop. The owner lives in the back house and will not be disturbed." It’s noisy from the front bunk.”

 Very good for the defense of men and women.

“You have to dig wells in all three shops?” Foreman Yuan asked, pointing to the circles on the drawing.

Gu Dashan nodded: "Well, it's convenient to dig a well."

Foreman Yuan is a mason, so he naturally knows how to dig wells. He knows that there is a lot of water in the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers, but not every piece of land can produce water. Gu Dashan has a determined look on his face and understands that his family has bought good land.

"Congratulations, if you build a well in this shop, if you sell it in the future, the price will be at least half."

There are not many shops with wells in the town, namely Fuguilou, Xuanhufang, and Tiepu. Other shops and the people in the town have to go to the old wells in the town to draw water, which is very inconvenient.

Foreman Yuan looked at the drawings again, asked Gu Dashan a few questions, then put away the three drawings and said to Gu Dashan: "Okay, I understand. Brother Gu, don't worry, my Yuan family's work team will definitely build it for you." Make the shop as shown on the drawings.”

 Gu Dashan smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Yuan."

Foreman Yuan nodded with a smile, and shouted to his fifteen masons: "Have you finished eating? Hurry to work after eating. The Gu Dong family paid us to do the work, so don't be impatient."

"Hey, here we go." After hearing this, the people from the Yuan family's work team quickly stuffed the bean dregs cakes into their mouths, drank a few mouthfuls of soy milk, and then started eating.

 For a time, the open space outside the gatehouse was bustling with activity. In addition to the masons working, there were also many people watching the excitement.

Building a shop is a big event, and according to custom, the third grandmother took Gu Daya, Cui, and Chu to distribute bean dregs cakes to those who came to see the excitement.

Those who got the bean dregs cakes congratulated the third grandma one after another, making the third grandma smile from ear to ear.

They were busy until almost noon. After cooking a sumptuous lunch for the Yuan family's work team, they went home carrying baskets, barrels, bowls and chopsticks.

Mrs. Chen also greeted Chang Errui warmly: "Brother Rui, I will send you the green bricks next time. You can drop by my aunt's house and sit down. My aunt will prepare delicious food for you."

Chang Errui smiled so hard that his face almost froze: "Thank you, Aunt Gu, for your kindness. Next time, if you are free, I will definitely come and bother you."

 But your home is in Dafeng Village, which is two hours' walk from the town. How can I drop by?

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen became even more cheerful: "Okay, remember to come. Auntie will buy you braised meat and roast duck."

"Hey, thank you, auntie." Chang Errui responded. When Chen was sent away, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Ancestor, he finally escaped.

However, Chang Errui was a little confused about Chen's enthusiasm. After finally getting home, he couldn't help it anymore and curiously asked Yuan Laorong: "Dad, the noble aunt of the Gu family is also very kind to her son. Isn't she planning something?"

Yuan Laorong smiled: "You're not that stupid."
