Chapter 156 Mansion
The youngest Wang moved skillfully and started the car, then turned onto the highway.
"Youngest, where did this car come from?" Zhou Zhi asked: "How did you get this business?"
"The boss of a Xishui family came to the restaurant for dinner. There are few truck drivers. I have some skills, so I recommended them myself.”
"What do you mean?! I'm driving so well!"
"No matter how well you drive, you still can't withstand the three hundred miles of downhill slope coming from Xishui!"
" Eh? Cousin, how do you know?”
“I still know. It's normal for us to be overloaded in this industry. It's easy to make money, but you have to change the brake pads frequently! Even if the boss is reluctant, you have to pay for it yourself and check it before every trip..."< br>
“It’s that serious...”
"It's really that serious!" Zhou Zhi said a rare curse word, scaring the girls behind him who were chatting and laughing just now into silence.
The girls' reaction also reflected on Young Wang, who was also frightened: "Yao...Cousin, don't be angry..."
"I'm not angry. " Zhou Zhi calmed down: "Think about it, brother, this thing is pulling more than ten tons of coal all the way down from Loushanguan. If the brakes fail in the middle, How to deal with it? "
"Don't think I don't know the fuel-saving tricks taught by experienced drivers, right? It's nice to save fuel for a while, but it will be troublesome when you need to brake."
"Money must not only be earned with a life, but money must also be spent with a life! How many big cars are not scrapped on that road?!"
"Okay, I'll go check it out in a minute!"
This young cousin from my cousin's house in the city listened to his grandfather playing some music from heaven and the stars came down to earth. He was also included in the movie watching organized by the villagers years ago. It looks amazing.
Now that Zhou Zhiyi was putting on a show, Wang Lao Mao immediately felt a lot of pressure.
Actually, Zhou Zhi is a little confused about how he and the Wang family in Baimi Township are cousins, but there is no doubt that his father has a very good relationship with the Wang family.
The tomb of Zhou Zhi’s grandfather is right next to the Wang family’s vegetable field. It is also looked after by the fourth cousin of the Wang family. When he was a child, after hanging the tomb during the Qingming Festival and Spring Festival, Zhou Zhi’s family would rest at the fourth cousin’s house and bother others for a few meals. .
The fourth cousin's children's branch here needs Dad's help for something, and Dad is also very enthusiastic about helping.
Usually, I just find odd jobs for my children, to pay for the chemical fertilizers needed to grow rice every year, and to make some every year when sugar and soap were in short supply.
There are also major holidays such as the Spring Festival and Dragon Boat Festival. The Wang family will go to the city to play and usually eat at Zhou Zhi's house.
It was the first time to receive the youngest and youngest Wang. Zhou Zhi brought out a plate of white rabbit toffee. When he turned around and looked back, he found that the plate was empty. Several children grabbed the candies and put them in their pockets. Zhenzhan was dumbfounded by Xiao Zhouzhi at that time.
So he went into the room and brought out a plate of marshmallows and a plate of nougat. He wanted to see how much the children's clothes pockets could hold.
Who would have thought that the little kid who snatched candy in his pocket would become what he is now.
Wang Laoyao and Zhou Zhi didn't hide it, they even showed off a bit and said everything.
Now is the time when coal is in short supply. Pulling coal from Guizhou is an absolutely high salary. The boss pays fifty for pulling a truck, and also gives twenty for cigarettes, tea and meals. Of course, the premise is that the eight-ton truck pulls sixteen tons, he is so crazy that he even dares to pull more than 20 tons!
Three hundred miles from Xishui to Jiachuan, except for a few crazy people, they usually make two trips in three or four days, and the harvest is six to seven hundred yuan a month, which is far more than most people in the county. But there is a strange phenomenon, that is, among the first batch of high-income people in Jiachuan, very few people eventually become rich, while many people are disabled, divorced, and end up in poverty.
The reason is actually very simple, that is, things that are relatively easy to obtain are often easier to lose than to get.
So Zhou Zhi's father got cancer again and told Wang Laoyao to save money and try to buy a shop in Baimixiangchang and open a restaurant like Wharf Chicken Soup.
We have also planned a development route and contracted food for the town government, post office, bank savings office and other institutions. It is not a big problem to make tens of thousands a year.
I heard that the youngest Wang was one head and two older.
Fortunately, Baimi Township was not far away in the first place, and the cart soon arrived at a farm town. Zhou Zhi and his friends got off the cart and told Wang Laoyao to say hello to his old cousin. , come see him next time when you have time.
After saying goodbye to the youngest Wang who was in a hurry to inspect the car, Zhou Zhi and Mu Ruyun lifted the beater together, and Yang He led the way home.
I thought there were too many people and I didn’t say hello in advance, so it would be more appropriate to buy some cooked food and go back first.
The first choice is of course "Shao Meat", which is the cold braised pork with Jia Sichuan characteristics; for a pound of braised beef tendons, this sticky chili noodles is delicious; when you see several pig trotters with front hooves, then That’s it; and a cold dish mixed with bamboo shoots, dried tofu, bean curd skin, green bamboo shoots, and kelp.
There was really nothing to choose from in the raw meat shop. There was a piece of milk-preserving meat and half a large intestine left, which Zhou Zhi also bought.
After getting everything ready, we walked down a stone path to the countryside and walked along the rice fields, woods and hills in the countryside towards a mountain bay.
Behind the bay is a hill like a steamed bun, with rounded and soft lines, and a thick "wing" at each end. There is a stream in front of it. In the summer, the water in this stream was quite large, but now it is shallow and clear. Many rocks were exposed at the bottom of the stream.
The scenery along the way is impeccable. In addition to the bamboo forest beside the stream, the flowering reeds, there are also moss on the hills and short pines growing on them.
Follow the stone road beside the creek. After bypassing the first wing of the mountain bay, a beautiful countryside is revealed in front of everyone.
“Good Feng Shui!” Zhang Lu, who knew a little bit about it, couldn’t help but praise it when he saw this place.
It is indeed a good Feng Shui. Behind it are green hills like steamed buns, protected by a small hill on both sides. In front are streams and a large field bay, with several layers of terraces covering dozens of acres.
At the end of the terraces and under the green hills, a standard southern Sichuan folk house sits there.
"Wow! It's really a wealthy family!" Ye Xin had long heard Zhou Zhi bragging about Yang He's home, and now she finally saw it. She felt that it was so famous that it was better to meet. This big house was really amazing.
Although the layout of the residential buildings is still the general layout of a double-sided open dam in southern Sichuan, it is different from ordinary residential buildings. This residential building uses a large amount of stone for the foundation and waist walls, and above it is the one before liberation. Planted old green bricks, one was as big as two now.
The outside of the blue brick wall is covered with chalk, which has peeled off in some places over time. When the blue bricks are exposed, it gives a more aged feel.
The Guangzhengtang has five bays and seven bays, and the side rooms on both sides have three bays and seven bays respectively, using the "double melon pillar" structure.
The roof is of a "hanging mountain type", made into a concave curved surface, with elegant and smooth lines, and is conducive to rainwater drainage.
The "cold tile" style is used for laying roof tiles. The roof is "built with exposed roof", and then the eaves are overhanging and the purlins are protruding. They are all standard southern Sichuan style.
In addition to the architectural layout, the rest is a large number of decorations, flower windows, stone carvings, brick carvings, wood carvings, colored paints, and various traditional Chinese decorative styles, which can be seen here.
There are also gardens, well pavilions, and railings in front. It can be seen how much thought and expense Old Yangtou put into buying such a family property.
