Chapter 84 Unwilling to pay

After dinner, Chief Tian took the young and middle-aged people in the village to chop bamboo.

Men do the heavy work, women do the light work, and the children help.

The old man is responsible for taking care of the children, cleaning wild vegetables and cooking.

Tian Dahu will build the bamboo shed, find a relatively high and flat place, and guide everyone to build the bamboo shed.

This simple shed was quickly built, and soon several bamboo sheds also had frames.

Shen Yunxi saw that everyone was using big leaves for their roofs, and it would be too troublesome to replace the roofs every two days.

In her previous life, Shen Yunxi had seen people making bamboo in some places in the south.

A piece of bamboo is broken in the middle, divided into two parts, and bent front and back. The upper part is pressed on the lower half-circle bamboo tube, which is a simple bamboo tile.

Although exposed to wind and sunlight, these bamboo shingles do not last long and shade the roof better than simple large leaves.

Shen Yunxi told Tian Dahu his thoughts.

He was originally a carpenter. He understood it instantly. He quickly split several semicircular bamboo tubes, stood on the ladder, and placed them on the roof.

The front and rear ends can also be fixed with ropes, which are stronger than leaves.

Tian Dahu praised: "From the Youqing family, you are so smart. You can read and count, which is faster than our heads."

Shen Yunxi smiled and said: "I just use my mouth. When I really work, I need Uncle Dahu and everyone to do more!"

Tian Dahu smiled and was praised. He felt good, "But I don't have much experience after all. If you have any good ideas, just tell me."

"Okay, Uncle Dahu, you're busy. I'm going there to help cut bamboo." Shen Yunxi said with a smile: "I hope everyone can live in the bamboo shed tonight.

Tian Dahu smiled, "I tried my best, but the south is wet and the ground is also wet. I want to make more bamboo beds for the elderly and children first, so that they will not sleep on the ground and cannot find a doctor when they get sick." "

Shen Yunxi gave Tian Dahu a thumbs up: "Uncle Dahu is very considerate."

With the encouragement of Chief Tian and Shen Yunxi, the entire Qianlihua Village was very busy. Even children like Tian Xiuzhu and Tian Erniu would do their best to take care of children younger than them.

Since Tian Daniu and Tian Xiuli could count, they helped count bamboos, semicircular bamboo tubes and various bamboo pieces.

It gets dark very late in the summer.

When it got dark, only seven or eight sheds were built. The elderly, children and women slept in the sheds. They spread big leaves on the ground outside, covered themselves with leaves, and prepared to sleep.

It's just that there are too many mosquitoes, which makes people uncomfortable.

Shen Yunxi chopped a lot of wormwood with a knife and put some wormwood in the fire that was about to go out. After a while, a smoke with the smell of wormwood came out and drove away the buzzing mosquitoes. Everyone Barely get some sleep.

Although the current conditions are difficult, there are no bandits here and there are not many wild animals, so everyone is relieved.

The next morning, Shen Yunxi went to Village Chief Tian and said, "A few more bamboo huts will be enough to live in today. The rest of us need to open terraced fields. Village Chief, we need to buy seeds and iron plows. I have four taels of silver on me." , take three taels to buy seeds."

Chief Tian thought for a moment: "Okay, I'll call the villagers and let's collect the money."

Some people have money, and some people don't. At this time, people with money are not willing to pay.

Seeing that the people below were speechless and unwilling to pay, Chief Tamura was worried. "If we don't have money to buy good seeds, it will be useless even to reclaim wasteland!"

Yang Dacui was also worried. "My family gave us three taels of silver to buy grain seeds. Without plows, shovels, and sickles, we can't cultivate the land! Everyone has money to pay, and we can work hard."

But everyone remained silent.
