From wilderness to palace

Chapter 68

Although before starting construction, make sufficient mental preparations.But when it came time to actually build it, Liu Yaozu was really surprised by the time and energy it took to build Shelter No. [-].In four days, he only built a simple framework.

Unlike the shelters built in the past, Liu Yaozu used the mortise and tenon structure to build beams on a large scale for the first time in Shelter No. [-].It takes a lot of time just to cut the wood out of the hole slot, and even the measuring ruler is required to mark the line in advance.

Just thinking about the increased carpentry skill points, Liu Yaozu finally realized something: "If an intermediate carpenter wants to be promoted to an advanced level, he can no longer increase his skill points just by making some simple carpentry products. The only way to do it is to build large buildings."

Think about the carpenters who built houses for people in ancient times. How about the modern machinery and equipment specially designed for carpentry?All carpenters must possess great skill if they want to build a solid and reliable house.

The spirit of craftsman is also what Liu Yaozu has learned from building wooden houses this time.The speed is so slow, the refinement of skills is on the one hand, and the other is the lack of manpower.For example, it was very difficult for him to complete the lifting of the beams by himself.

Originally, Liu Yaozu was thinking that when he returned to the village this time, he would ask Uncle Wu or the mountain runner Xu Dazhuang for help.Now that I know that Xu Haowei and others are coming for Hongye Lake, doesn't that mean that there are free coolies available?
"Since we're here, we must also work. Coolies who take the initiative to deliver to your door are rare!"

Even if he did not receive a call from the village chief, Liu Yaozu, who completed the main frame structure of the wooden house, planned to return to the village in two days.Now that the itinerary is temporarily changed, he also needs to finish it accordingly and prepare a little more.

Although after returning to the village, Xu Haowei and the others must soon ask to enter the mountain.But for Liu Yaozu, at least he has to rest for a day when he goes back.He planned to bring in some equipment and things that were lacking in building the wooden house this time.

Since Xu Haowei and others are also young people who love outdoor camping.Then some light things can be asked to help them carry them.The materials needed for the wooden house may be all carried into the mountain at one time.

Thinking about it this way, Liu Yaozu also smiled and said, "Since you are here to help, it's only natural for you to entertain me well!"

Xu Haowei and the others, who didn't know that they were already missed, also lived in Liu Yaozu's refurbished old house under the warm hospitality of his fifth uncle Liu Shoushan and his wife.Seeing the quaint old house on the outside, it is decorated very modernly on the inside.

Xu Haowei and others who pushed the door in were also very happy and said: "The videos Azu took should be real. Although these boards have been refurbished, it can still be seen that they are refurbished from old materials. Not to mention, The color looks very comfortable."

"That's natural! This old house has been preserved for so many years. I think that when the house was built in the early years, all good wood was used."

"It's close to the mountains. Other things may be lacking, but there is definitely no shortage of wood."

When everyone was talking about Liu Yaozu's old house, Liu Shoushan also said at the right time: "Mr. Xu, you will sleep in these few rooms tonight. After the renovation, it seems that no one has lived in this room. Don't be disgusted! "

"That can! This house is well decorated, thank you uncle!"

"There is nothing to thank! You are friends of Azu, and Azu is my nephew. I will treat you well because of love and courtesy. My mother-in-law and aunt will make up the bedding later. If there is anything missing, you can just tell me That's it."

"Okay, thank you Uncle Wu!"

This time when they came to Kaoshantun, Xu Haowei and his group of seven drove three cars in total, and there were even two young girls who loved the outdoors.They naturally have no objection to such living conditions.

There are four guest rooms in total, except for Xu Haowei who sleeps in one alone, the other two are just enough to sleep in one.Seeing that the quilts that Aunt Fifth took out were all brand new, even the two girls who love cleanliness felt that the accommodation conditions were very good.

After laying out the bedding for everyone, Fifth Aunt also entered the kitchen to prepare dinner for these people.Even though they were all common meals, all seven of them ate deliciously.Some of the green vegetables eaten tonight were picked by Liu Yaozu's vegetable garden.

When he went into the vegetable garden to pick vegetables, Xu Haowei also smiled and said: "Azu's small life in the country is indeed very comfortable. There is such a big vegetable garden for one person, and he may not be able to eat all the vegetables in this garden alone. .”

"That's right! Compared with the city, life in the country is really leisurely and comfortable. But if we were to live here for ten or eight years, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to stay here. I think what Azu said is right, life It's all about tossing!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed.For people like Xu Haowei, because they come from wealthy families, they basically have no pressure in life.Even so, they have grown up and feel that life has countless troubles.

In the eyes of others, they live a chic life, and their life is not so stressful, so they should have no worries.But in fact, they also have life pressures that others cannot understand, and sometimes they are troubled by life.

After cooking for Xu Haowei and others, Liu Shoushan also confessed before leaving: "Xiao Xu, my house is right in front. If you need anything, you can come and call me at any time."

"Thank you, Uncle and Aunt Wu, for troubling you today."

"That's the case! The countryside is definitely not as good as the city. If there is any place where the hospitality is not good, you should take care of it. People in the countryside rest earlier. You have driven for so long today, so you should also rest earlier!"

After asking, Liu Shoushan and his wife didn't stay at Liu Yaozu's house too long, and quickly gave up the space to Xu Haowei and others.Although they live in an old house, the old house is quite complete with household appliances, and Xu Haowei and others don't find it inconvenient to live in.

The only inconvenience may be that there are fewer toilets in the old house.If it were their own villa, there would be toilets upstairs and downstairs.But in Liu Yaozu's house, there is only one bathroom and washroom, and you need to line up to take a shower.

Fortunately, they all like outdoor camping. Sometimes they stay in the wild for ten days and half a month, and it is very common for them not to take a bath.Now they only need to wait in line to take a hot shower. What else can they not be satisfied with?
Before going to bed, Xu Haowei also received a call from Liu Yaozu, asking if they needed anything, Xu Haowei also smiled and said: "Thank you, Azu! Compared with camping outdoors, your home's conditions are much better."

"That's fine! Because I won't be able to return to the village until tomorrow afternoon, I have arranged a little itinerary for you, I hope you will like it. In the morning, you can go to my mountain and forest to pick wild mushrooms with my fifth aunt. Picked fungi.

After lunch, you can go fishing in the stream at the entrance of the village.Although there are no big fish, the small grouper and horse mouth in the stream at the entrance of the village are also very delicious.I caught it, and I will cook for you when I come back. "

"Success! I have caused you trouble!"

"Nothing! When I go back, I will rest in the village for a day. Therefore, if you want to follow me into the mountains, you must be mentally prepared. It is still quite a long way from Kaoshantun to Hongye Lake. I hope you Then don’t cry bitter or tired.”

"That's not enough! We run outdoors all year round, and our physical strength and endurance are good."

From Liu Yaozu's phone call, Xu Haowei can also feel the sincerity.Xu Haowei also found the itinerary arranged for them very interesting.Whether picking wild mushrooms or fishing brook fish, I believe it is a good experience.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Haowei was still thinking about Liu Yaozu's hidden identity.What surprised him the most, perhaps, was that he already knew from the villagers that Liu Yaozu, who seemed to be cheerful and sunny, was actually an orphan.

Moreover, Liu Yaozu was still young when he left Gushantun, and he returned after more than ten years. Perhaps only the person concerned knows what happened.But no matter what, he already felt very satisfied that the other party could receive him warmly!
