    When the family returned home, Duan Yanqing immediately went from house to house to find more than 20 street neighbors.

    Then he said with a smile: "I plan to build a cowshed on the east side of my yard, and ask some folks to help out. After the cows grow up, it will be convenient for the folks to use the cows in the future.

    Don't leave at noon today, just have dinner at my house.  Changsheng, ask your second aunt to come over and help with the cooking.  "

    Duan Changsheng agreed and ran out.

    One of the cousins ??saw it and asked: "I said, big brother, are you looking for so many people to build a cowshed? Isn't one or two people enough?"

    Duan Yanqing smiled after hearing this and said: "We built this cowshed a bit bigger, it won't work if there are fewer people."

    "Then what materials shall we use to build it?"

    Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "What can I use to build it? Our brick builders definitely can't afford it. I plan to use the loess on the hillside to build it. Two boards are clamped together, and it will be enough to smash it with a tamp!"

    The cousin shook his head when he heard this.  "Brother, this method is fine, but now it's all frozen soil, can it be firm?"

    "Then what can I do? Isn't this waiting to be used in a hurry?"

    Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Father, I have an idea. Let's go to the rice shop and order some yellow rice. Let's boil the yellow rice in a big pot and eat fried pork slices with yellow rice at noon, and add the rice soup to the soil."  Don¡¯t you think that¡¯s enough, everyone says yellow rice grouting is solid, so let¡¯s try it.¡±

    The uncle slapped Duan Wuji on the head.  "You bastard, that yellow rice grout is strong. But do you know how much yellow rice we need? Can our house afford it?"

    Duan Yanqing thought about it for a while and said: "Wuji, you can do it this way, let's go with Dad.

    Alas, brother, you go to the rice store and ask for some yellow rice, let him deliver it to us, you go to our Duanjia rice store and ask for it, and I will pay when the goods arrive.  "

    "How about a few kilograms?"

    "Let's talk about three hundred first."

    The cousin smiled.  "Brother, you are so generous. I think you don't want to pass it. Well, I'll go."

    With that said, he stepped out.

    Duan Yanqing said to the crowd: "Everyone go home and prepare. Those who hold shovels take shovels, those who hold boards take boards, and those who use rammers take rammers. Those who have small carts bring a few small carts over."

    After hearing this, everyone took tools and went.  Not long ago, the owner of the rice shop personally led the staff and pushed the cart to deliver the rice.  The rice was dropped.  Duan Yanqing asked with a smile: "How much is this rice?"

    "Well, this rice should cost three cents and two silvers. You are my first client this year, and you are a big client, so I will charge you three cents. Let's all try to make it auspicious."

    Duan Yanqing took out half a tael of silver and handed it over.

    The owner of Mipu looked at it and smiled awkwardly.  "Oh, I haven't brought any money today, so I really can't find it for you."

    Duan Yanqing listened and smiled: "You take it first, we will count it together next time."

    The owner of the rice shop took the money and walked away with a smile.

    After a short time, people came back with tools.

    There are five houses built in the cowshed, the one on the east side is the storage room, the three rooms in the middle are the cowshed for the cows, and the one to the west is the small house for the cattle breeder.

    Including the courtyard wall outside, it occupies a total of two acres of land.

    The project progressed very smoothly. People first added small stones to the wet soil dug from the hillside, then sprinkled the boiled yellow rice soup on the loess, stirred it after a while, put it between two wooden boards, and then smashed it  Reality.

    At noon, Liu Caihua shouted loudly: "It's time to eat, don't do it, eat white flour rolls and meat!"

    People thought it was a joke, but when the pile of pancakes and meat basins came up, they were overjoyed.

    "Brother, we didn't put any meat in the dumplings on the eve of the New Year's Eve. Alas, I don't have money to buy meat. Today I can relieve my hunger."

    Another person laughed and said: "Brother, then you are much better than me. I didn't even eat dumplings on New Year's Eve, so I ate two dry buns. Alas, I am so poor."  I don¡¯t even have the money to buy a few catties of noodles.¡±

    Liu cauliflower saw it and shouted: "Stop talking, eat quickly, or you will be out of luck again if the meat is gone."

    Five days later, the cowshed was built, and the cowshed was built in a grand style. Duan Yanqing bought wood, propped up the roof and installed tiles, and even painted the big wooden door at the entrance with paulownia paint.

    The neighbor's uncle saw it and said to Duan Yanqing: "I said Yanqing, you are building a cowshed.?Go home and get me a sword and a big stick, and bring me some dry food by the way.  "

    Duan Yanqing agreed and walked out.

    The people of the third grandfather's family hurriedly fetched water and began to drink the cattle. After a short time, the cattle were ready to drink.

    After Duan Yanqing came back with the sword and the big stick, Duan Wuji carried the dry rations, took the sword, the big stick and the iron ox and drove the cattle straight to the river. The two of them drove the cattle forward.  While grazing, when the sun was westward, the two finally drove the cattle to the bank of the river, and saw that the dry grass on both sides of the river was knee-deep.

    The herd hadn't had enough to eat for days, and it took them all to see so much pasture on the bank of the river.

    After the sun went down, the fed cows lay down on the bank and began to rest. Duan Wuji glanced at Tie Niu and said, "Brother, you should sit between the two cows and sleep for a while, that place is more leeward."

    "how about you?"

    "I'm here watching the herd!"

    As he said that, Duan Wuji handed over a piece of white flour bread.  "Take it and eat, and sleep for a while when you are full."

    Tieniu took the white noodle roll meat and immediately ate it with big mouthfuls. While eating, Tieniu said: "Brother, your food is really good and delicious!"

    After the iron ox was full, he climbed on the back of the ox and fell asleep between the two oxen.

    Duan Wuji watched the cattle while practicing boxing and kicking. When he was tired, he meditated for a while to practice internal skills, and then ate a piece of dry food and began to practice swords.

    Duan Wuji continued to toss and toss until dawn, when Tie Niu woke up and took over, Duan Wuji fell asleep in the grass on the bank.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
