Chapter 50 It’s good to have money. It’s so fast to build a house
With money in place, materials in place, manpower and mechanical equipment in place, this kitchen with three rooms on the surface and three rooms underground was all built in less than five days, including the corridor connecting the kitchen to the old house, wall insulation, painting, and masonry Stoves, and the reinforcement of old houses, etc.
It turns out that the back door of the old house was small and somewhat damaged. Now it has been reinforced and renovated to match the tall cloister and looks very good.
Considering that grandma is old, all the floors have been treated with anti-slip treatment.
Lightning rods are also installed high on the roof ridge, and the appearance is coordinated with the architectural style. A relatively concealed down conductor is used to introduce possible lightning into the ground.
Li Xiang climbed up and installed the five little beasts himself. There are small raised steel pillars on the roof ridge, which can be coated with cement and the little beasts can be put on them. These little beasts are made of clay, the same color as the glazed tiles, and some parts are even painted, making them sparkle under the sunlight.
Many people in the village came to visit and said they liked it.
An old man with gray hair and a cane said with emotion: "Even the great-grandfather and great-grandfather of the Li family were not able to realize it when they were once wealthy."
Although the great-grandfather and great-grandfather of the Li family were rich, squire and landowners, and some people in the family were minor officials, they were not qualified to place so many small animals when they built their ancestral house, so they could only follow the shape of "one".
In other words, only one small beast can be placed on each cornice, and Li Xiang now has five small beasts.
But ancient times and modern times are different. In modern society, as long as you have money, no one will care if you let it go.
Having said that, for older people, it is quite touching that something that was once unattainable has now been realized by a boy like Li Xiang.
For this reason, when people built houses in Lijia Village in the future, if they were Chinese-style buildings, they would follow the same example and place the mythical beasts on the roof. It is indeed beautiful and elegant.
And this is just a kitchen.
There are three rooms in this kitchen on the ground floor. The main room is naturally very spacious in the middle, with a stove and a dining room. One of the side rooms on both sides is a storage room. Li Xiang moved the refrigerator into it and built some shelves with bamboo. , used to store daily food or sundries.
The five kittens can already run and jump. They are full of curiosity about the world and explore everywhere every day. However, they are still too small and cannot climb over the threshold. Li Xiang saw that they were struggling to hang on the threshold, so he Help them and send them into the storage room.
Because Li Xiang and the others were inside just now, Mao Mao kept trying to get in.
The mother cat was afraid that something might happen to her children, so she followed them closely.
In fact, even if Li Xiang didn't do anything, the mother cat would pick them up one by one.
Now that the kitten has grown up, outsiders can also pet it, and the mother cat does not care. It can distinguish its own kitten very clearly, and there will be no misjudgment or accidental bite.
With six cats patrolling the house every day, it is almost impossible to have mice in the house. If there is, then it is to deliver food and meat to the kittens. By the way, let the kittens practice their hunting skills.
The other wing is a bathroom. Because it is close to the kitchen, the hot water can be brought easily, and there is also a special sewer in the room to facilitate drainage.
Li Xiang bought two large wooden barrels, one for him and one for his grandmother, which can be used for bathing in winter.
Grandma is old, but she doesn't like bathing because her body can't bear it. She just wipes it with a hot towel every day, soaks her feet at most, and only takes a big bath every five or six days.
The new stove in the kitchen is still a two-unit stove, which is of better quality than the one in the previous bamboo house and is covered with ceramic tiles.
Grandma looked at the new kitchen and liked it very much.
In fact, it was a bit over budget. It was originally planned to cost 100,000 yuan, but it cost more than 120,000 yuan to complete one set.
The little money I originally saved has basically been used up, with less than 30,000 left.
The villagers are all discussing that it is good to have money, and it is so fast to build a house. Li Xiang is planning to plant some flowers and plants on one side of the corridor after spring comes. Especially plum blossoms and wintersweet.
There are several plum blossoms in the corner, and Ling Han is blooming alone. He knows it is not snow because of the faint fragrance.
In the future, winter will become colder year by year. Only "Ao Xue Han Mei" can bring a touch of bright and dark fragrance in winter.
Plum blossoms are homophonic to the word "mold", so some people are very particular and do not want to plant them in the yard, but they can be planted outside the yard and in the garden.
Some ancient people who were obsessed with plum trees, such as the poet Lin Bu of the Northern Song Dynasty and the writer Gong Zizhen of the Qing Dynasty, planted plum trees in their yards.
The five petals of the plum blossom represent good fortune, wealth, longevity, happiness and wealth. There is a folk saying of "Five Blessings", which has the auspicious meaning of "spreading the good news of spring".
The flowers of wintersweet are yellow, and they are actually not the same tree as plum blossoms. Plum blossoms belong to the Rosaceae family, while wintersweet is a family of its own and belongs to the wintersweet family.
The classification of biology: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species. Even the "family" is different, so the difference is naturally huge.
Since the building materials used are very environmentally friendly, there is basically no formaldehyde or odor. The ventilation facilities in the cellar are good and the air is fresh. Li Xiang moved all the sweet potatoes in and placed them in a corner.
The medicinal wine that had been brewed before was also moved in. Two poisonous snakes and two giant red dragon centipedes were all potential mutant creatures that were dried before being thrown in.

Li Xiang bought some more wolfberry and astragalus and threw them in. The main reason is that the snake wine is a bit fishy. Adding these two herbs will not only have a nourishing effect and enhance the efficacy of the medicinal wine, but also remove the fishy smell and even add a little sweetness to improve the taste and flavor of the medicinal wine.
Lycium barbarum improves eyesight, nourishes the liver and kidneys, while astragalus is a qi-tonifying medicine. The two medicinal materials are quite satisfactory, widely used, and will not cause problems when consumed.
The marinade package Li Xiang bought last time also contained astragalus.
After tidying up the kitchen, I took a short video and posted it on the self-media account. Fans left messages and comments. The most discussed one was the "Five Spine and Six Beasts" designed by Li Xiang. I have to say that there are still many people who know the goods. of.
There are some people who don't understand, so Li Xiang doesn't need to reply. He has enthusiastic fans who can help him popularize the information.
What makes Li Xiang happy is that the previous live broadcast of winter bamboo shoots sold so many orders, and there were no returns or negative reviews. It can be said that it was 100% positive.
This is very rare.
Li Xiang specially posted a video to express his gratitude to fans for their support.
The top sister on the list is very mysterious, her name is "Feifei", she has never spoken much, her age, identity, and appearance are unknown, and she is very aloof.
But one thing is for sure, that is, he is very rich.
Because everyone found that every time Li Xiang broadcast live, the other party would almost come to support him. He was either first or second on the list, and he never fell out of the top three.
The persimmon trees in the backyard were full of fruits. Li Xiang thought that they could be picked and used to make persimmons, because once the heavy snow came, it would stop falling and stop falling, and the bad weather would last for more than half a month, so it was not suitable for drying in the sun. Dried persimmons.
While the weather is still nice, it's a good time to make persimmons.
Thanks to "It's Fake After All" and "08a" for the reward.
