Chapter 200: Digging deep holes to accumulate grain
After eating, Li Le went to take a shower and then returned to the house.
After a while, Zhao Yanran and her two sisters also came back after taking a shower.
The three of them were lying on the bed, and Zhao Yanran asked, "Brother Le, why do you need to buy so much food?"
"I won't be able to explain this to you for a while. Just do what I say. You will understand in the future."
"Yeah! I know Brother Le."
Zhao Yanran is a smart woman. During the meal before, Li Le said that she did not ask about this matter, but immediately agreed.
Although I have doubts, I can only do this in order to give everyone the impression that Li Le is right.
There were only three people on the bed now, and they were all the people closest to her, so she asked.
Although Li Le still didn't tell her why, she was smart enough not to continue asking.
"Brother Le, if you keep buying food, you won't be able to store much in the house," Zhao Yanhan said.
"I know, so in the next period of time, I will dig a cellar."
"Cellar? Isn't there a cellar at home?" Zhao Yanhan asked doubtfully.
"The previous one at home can only be regarded as a vegetable cellar, not a cellar. I am going to dig a bigger one specifically to hold food."
"oh!"
After resting, sisters Li Le and Zhao Yanran played two canyon games, plowed two pieces of wet land, and then went to sleep.
The two sisters were really helpless. After just two blows, they were exhausted and unable to continue.
A night of silence.
Li Le woke up refreshed early in the morning. Because of the fan, he slept soundly at night.
It can be said that he slept until dawn, but Li Le was not the first to get up, because when he got up, Ma Feng and the others had already gotten up.
Those who chop firewood, those who sweep the floors, and those who sprinkle water on the yard to prevent dust.
Of course, I couldn't stand Li Daila who was lighting the fire in the kitchen. How could cooking be done without one?
Li Le picked up the toiletries and went to wash up. Then he called a few guys who had finished their work and said, "Everyone must be back before ten o'clock today."
"Ah! Brother, if you come back before ten o'clock, you won't receive much at all." Ma Feng frowned and said.
"I know, let's do this for the time being. It's too hot. It's best to come back before ten o'clock, and we can't go out after four o'clock in the afternoon."
"Brother, no need, we are not afraid of the heat." Niu Shuanzhu said, patting his chest.
"I know you are not afraid of the heat, but there are important things for you to do."
"Oh! That's it, okay, I understand, brother." Gou Sheng nodded.
"Okay, let's eat first. After dinner, go to your sister-in-law to get the money. Don't forget to buy rice and noodles."
"Yes, brother."
Breakfast is still very rich. There is a small pot of boiled eggs, at least twenty.
And this is only part of the breakfast. There are also steamed buns and millet porridge. Needless to say, pickles are a must-have.
After breakfast, everyone carried a water bottle on their left hand and a schoolbag with a five-pointed star on their right hand, and then they set off.
Li Le also dressed up in the same way. There was nothing I could do about it. It was too hot in the summer and it was impossible to go out without bringing water.
Moreover, Li Lejia's water is different. It is all added with sugar and a little salt. There is very little salt, so the salty taste is not noticeable.
It is mainly sweet, but even so, it is beneficial. You must know that if you sweat too much, your body will lose a lot of salt.
Although Li Le also went out, he did not go to collect scraps. Instead, he went to the blacksmith shop in the back street.
Because he needs a lot of tools, some of which may not even be seen in the blacksmith shop.
So before going there, Li Le drew a few pictures, they were pretty similar! They are all tools used by later generations to dig the ground. It's a pity that most of those burrowing artifacts are electric, and they don't exist at all now, but there are some that don't require electricity.
For example, Luoyang's earth shoveling artifact does not require electricity, but it did not exist in this era.
When we came to the blacksmith shop, it was the same old man and two apprentices as before.
Li Le hit the iron rod here last time, so he was acquainted with him.
"Old man, I want to pack something." Li Le said directly when he came up.
The last time I came here, it was because it was about to close. This time it was different. This time I came here and it just opened.
"Oh! What are you going to fight?" the old man asked.
"Can you see if these can be used?" Li Le handed over some drawings in his hand.
The old man took it and looked at it. He already had most of them here, but the style looked a little different.
There are two types I haven’t seen before, but they don’t look complicated.
"It's okay. When do you want it?" the old man nodded and asked.
"I need it in the morning. It will take more than two hours. I wonder if I can get it out?"
The old man thought for a while and said, "It should be no problem."
In fact, the iron blanks are all prepared in advance and only need to be processed, which can save a lot of time.
"Okay, let's start fighting! How much will I give you first?"
Although Li Le wanted it urgently, the old man didn't charge him more. The total was only 270,000 yuan. You must know that this includes labor costs!
Then Li Le didn't leave. He sat and waited under a tree not far from the door of the blacksmith shop.
Of course, banana fans are also indispensable, otherwise there will be too many mosquitoes.
As for mosquitoes, unless you don't stop, as long as you stop, even for a minute, a mosquito will bite you.
The old man and his two apprentices played ping-pong for more than two hours, and finally got what Li Le wanted.
Everyone was covered in sweat, and their faces were burned red by the fire.
But Li Le didn't see impatience or exhaustion on their faces. Everyone had a hint of excitement.
Needless to say, this is the joy of making money.
Li Le took the things, put them on the tricycle, covered them with bags, then said goodbye to the old man and went home.
When Li Le came back, Ma Feng and the others had also come back and bought some rice noodles as Li Le said.
Now the rice and noodles have been unloaded into the hood room, and several people are blowing fans in the room.
Seeing Li Le coming back, he quickly ran out and asked, "Brother, what are you going to do if you ask us to come back so early?"
Li Le pointed to the tricycle and said, "Take the things on it and follow me."
Several guys quickly opened the bag to reveal the contents underneath. Although they were curious, no one asked, but followed Li Le with the objects.
Li Le punched the door of the southernmost room in the east wing and said, "Come in!"
The reason why I chose this room is because it is far away from the vegetable cellar.
The vegetable cellar is between the east room and the east wing, about ten meters away from here, and this room is vacant.
After a few guys came in, Li Le pointed to the middle of the house and said, "Dig a hole from here. It doesn't need to be big, but it must be able to get people in."
