Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

Father Liu also did a lot of things this afternoon.

I was lying in my fellow villager’s house at night, I was so tired that I fell asleep in seconds and started snoring.

In the afternoon, Liu's father brought his men back to Xiushui Village and first drew boundaries and set up guards on the hilltop they had bought.

Under the leadership of the village chief, they decided on adobe bricks and foundation stones with the villagers, and then finalized the manpower to help build the house the next day.

I lay on the bed and counted the money I had, and there was really not much left.

The bricks were bought directly with silver, one copper coin for each brick. The six rooms cost 1,600 bricks per room. The foundation stone cost 16 bricks per room. In addition to the bricks and foundation stones shared between rooms.

In the end, I spent 12 taels of silver to buy these things. This does not include the labor costs. Without food, the labor costs are 80 wen per person per day, which is 800 wen per person for ten days. It is estimated that ten people will be hired. If more people come to do the work, there will be only so much work, and more people will not be able to do their work.

The wages were eight taels of silver. Fortunately, the wages did not include meals, otherwise it would cost a lot more money, mainly because there was no place to cook.

Father Liu couldn't help but think that he had to find a way to make money next.

If you keep spending money like this without earning any, no matter how much wealth you have, it will not be able to withstand the squandering.

It was Chinese New Year, could he make something to sell at the market, or was there any new business that could make money? He couldn't help but go over all the businesses he knew in his mind.

Make snacks, some gadgets, or some novel entertainment activities.

I fell asleep thinking about it.

Liu's father, Liu Hao and Tian Zhaodi were staying in two fellow villagers' homes. They only had to pay seven or eight cents. If they wanted to eat at the fellow villager's home, the fee would be charged separately.

Before dawn in the morning, after the roosters crowed twice, some people in the fellow villager's house where I was staying got up.

Thanks to the relationship of their family's sharehouse, their two sons were chosen to help build the house. They got up early to make breakfast, and after breakfast, they carried the bricks from their home to the people.

People at that time worked very simply and there was no concept of eight-hour work.

Liu's father and several others also got up early and followed the villagers who came to work to the place where the house was being built.

Yesterday, Liu's father had a good relationship with Village Chief Wan, so he asked Village Chief Wan to help him choose people to do the work. This was a disguised way of doing a favor for the Village Chief.

Although Village Chief Wan did not work himself, he still came early to help. Today was the first day of work. More than a dozen men were digging foundations, carrying cornerstones, and carrying adobes. One by one, they were busy in an orderly manner under the arrangement of Village Chief Wan.

Father Liu himself did not do much heavy work. He mainly gave them guidance on the layout of the house so that the people laying the foundation could plan the foundations of each room according to his requirements.

Once the foundation stones are laid, you can build the walls of the house with adobe bricks.

"Village Chief Wan, there are also the beams for the house. We didn't find any suitable ones yesterday. If nothing works, we can ask someone to go to the mountains to look. This barren mountain is ours anyway. We can find a few trees there to make beams for the house."

"Old Liu, don't worry. I asked someone in the village who has some beams stored. Buy them first, or borrow them, and return them later. The newly cut beams are too damp. They must be dried in the sun and polished to be more durable. We don't have any in our village, so I'll have someone go to the neighboring villages and get them back for you."

When Liu's father heard what Village Chief Wan said, he expressed his gratitude again and again: "Thank you very much, Village Chief. When our house is built and we move in, you must come to have a drink."

After learning about it yesterday, the villagers here also have banquets. Not to mention weddings and funerals, they also have banquets for housewarmings, birthdays of the elderly, etc., and invite relatives and friends to the banquet if they have the conditions.

Of course, relatives and friends will also send some gifts.

It is also an opportunity for people to interact with each other and keep in touch with each other.

In ancient times, there were also some gatherings such as poetry meetings, flower viewing parties, and wine parties, all of which were just excuses to eat, drink and have fun in the boring life.

"Definitely coming."

Liu's father bought this hilltop, which is close to a depression. There are many trees on the hill, but there is not much usable land on both sides, and both sides need to be reclaimed. The shady side of the hill does not receive much sunshine every day, while the trees on the other side are much more lush. In addition, people in the village like to go to this hill to pick wild vegetables and fruits.

Yesterday afternoon, after the people from the government office came to measure the area and set up the boundary marker, Village Chief Wan informed the villagers that this hilltop now belonged to Liu's father's family and that it was a private hilltop, and asked the villagers not to go to the hilltop anymore.

The people in the village still felt it was a pity. This hill was very close to their village, so they could not go there anymore. They could only go to the hill next to this hill.

The journey will be a little longer.

Some people also said a lot of sarcastic words, but Liu's father didn't take them seriously at all. He was thinking of enclosing their hill with a wall in the future. However, there was a mountain road at the foot of the mountain, otherwise the depression and their yard could be connected and fenced off so that outsiders could not get in.

After Liu Caixia sent the Wei couple away in the morning, she cleaned up the house with Grandma Li. There were many damaged tables, chairs and benches in the front shop. If she wanted to reopen the business later, she would need to order a batch of chairs and benches. She also needed to plan what to do with the other shop.

Now they don’t have much to sell, so they can only make food. The small shop was turned into a snack bar, imitating some modern snack bars, selling fried or cold skewers, combined with hot and sour noodles, fried potatoes, and one or two milk tea drinks.

This larger shop will be turned into a stir-fry restaurant. It is not located on the main street. The previous food shop served customers nearby. There is a school and some small workshops here.

There are quite a lot of customers, so as long as the food is not bad, business should be good.

At that time, I will cook some stir-fried dishes, dumplings, noodles and the like, and stir-fry some stews. It will be convenient for these people to come and they don’t have to wait too long.

Liu Caixia calculated silently in her mind and went to the carpenter shop again. She ordered some tables, chairs and benches, and made two counters to be placed on the other side of the shop. The counter was divided into two halves. The half facing outside could be used as a table. If you wanted to sit and eat there, you could just put some benches outside and sit down to eat before leaving.

I definitely need to make some utensils for packing and taking away. I don’t know what is more cost-effective in this era. I will discuss it with Liu’s father when the time comes.

A cheaper way is to use a wooden bowl or bamboo tube. Then find something else that can be used to take away.

There is such a large flow of people there that it is unrealistic for everyone to eat at the store.
