Chapter 256
Chapter 256
Working on the island, you can rest four days a month, two days more than other places, and you are paid.
Brother Ling and Brother Feng went off work together and made an appointment to go to the beach to catch fish.
The two of them changed into thin leather clothes, the inside was fur, and the outside was slippery, so they wouldn't feel cold even if they entered the water.
"The coast here has just been cleaned by the men, and there is a net in the distance. The big fish will definitely not be able to get in. We can only catch small fish." Brother Feng said, "But some shells are also delicious. I used to I like it."
"I know, let's pick up more shells, ask the dining hall to help fry them later, and invite Brother Qing and the others to eat." Brother Ling said happily, "I like to eat too."
In the past, my family was poor and couldn't afford to eat, and the food at home was gone. Instead of eating wild vegetables that I didn't care about, I might as well catch some fish, at least meat.It's just boiled fish, which tastes weird, anyway, even Brother Feng who lives by the sea doesn't like it.
It's not like a fish is fried and boiled now, and all kinds of seasonings are put on it, and when it is out of the pan, there is no fishy smell at all. The fish is still tender, with only fragrance. Anyway, Brother Feng thinks he likes it Eating fish, I didn’t like it before, it’s because the fish is not delicious.
After catching fish and collecting shells, the two brothers returned to the shore at noon.
The wooden box I brought was opened, and all the contents were taken out in the same way. There was a small pot, and a water bag. The food was semi-finished products brought from the dining hall. At this time, it could be eaten after heating, and there was even a small pot. A small tomato, a handful of strawberries, and two cucumbers.
After lighting the fire and heating up the dishes, the two of them took a rest after eating, and went into the sea again.
"I used to be scared when it came to the sea. I always felt that if I went in, I might never come out again." Brother Ling said, "That's how my brother disappeared, but now that I think about it, I really don't have anything to be afraid of."
I had to go to the sea to catch fish, otherwise, when I couldn't survive, Lingge's parents were very thin and weak, and the boat I managed to get was actually just a wooden stick.
I won’t talk about the boats going to and from the island now. Anyway, they won’t be easily overturned by the waves. It’s just here on the seashore. The man comes out.
There are many such men in the branch on the island, and Brother Feng only knows that Shen Congwu personally directs them. The men are different from those who come to the island to work, and usually do not arrange work.
After going out for a long time, the two of them came back with a lot of fish and shells. After sending them to the dining hall, they went to the hot spring to take a bath.
At this moment, they asked the canteen to help with the cooking, and it was not for nothing, they had to pay money, but Brother Feng and Brother Ling were not short of money now.
Coincidentally, both Liu Yaoqing and brother Zhezi were taking a bath in the hot spring, so they came back with the two brothers.
The dining hall has already prepared the dishes, and everyone went over and brought them back, and it was time to eat.
"I love this kind of shellfish the most." Liu Yaoqing said, "It's delicious. Brother Zhezi, help me pick up the shellfish over there."
"Okay." Brother Zhezi has long arms, and it's enough to stretch out.
Over there, Brother Hui smiled, and helped Brother Feng pick up the vegetables. Only Brother Ling looked around and found that he had no one to help pick up the vegetables, but he did it in a good position, and he could pick up all the vegetables. .
After dinner, the stewards happened to be idle too, seeing Liu Yaoqing here, they came over to chat.
"Not to mention anything else, the construction of the hot spring is a great thing."
"Hey, I don't need to spend any money now. I'll go there every two days. It's very comfortable to soak in the hot spring."
"We don't collect money now, everyone should seize the opportunity, and when there are more people in the future, we will collect money." Liu Yaoqing said with a smile, "The price will definitely not be low, and this is our first income on the island."
Up to now, although the island has changed a lot, the wood, ingredients, etc. are all brought in from outside, including the food, wages, and clothes of everyone on the island, all of which are the money Liu Yaoqing invested in it, that is, Dan The county has been developing for a few years and has saved a lot of money. Although Linhai is only building ships, it has gradually started other businesses and can make some money, otherwise Liu Yaoqing will definitely be emptied of money.
If the hot springs on the island can collect money, maybe it won't be a lot, but at least it has paid off.
"Then I'll go back and urge them to hurry up."
"There are quite a lot of hot springs on the island. If they are all open at that time, there will be many places that charge money."
The stewards said everything they said, and they didn't object to the hot springs taking money.Back then, the bathhouses in Shanshang and Dan County were not free, and you had to pay to take a bath.
The construction of these hot springs has also taken great pains. Du Xiu has a thousand drawings, but there are always hundreds of them. He often stays up late, so he is not at ease. During the day, he personally stares at each hot spring.
Some hot springs are built like castles in the air, and some have strange shapes. They look like lotus ponds from a distance, but you can see that the lotus flowers are not all individual small rooms, and you can live in them. Take a bath, even eat and drink.
Although some buildings are ordinary, like quaint wooden houses hidden in the deep mountains, but the surroundings are warm like spring, surrounded by smoke, and the artistic conception is improved. Walking in them, it seems like a fairyland.
Regardless of the number of hot springs, it is guaranteed that every place is different.
"I reckon that when people come later, I'm afraid I'll have to visit every hot spring." Liu Yaoqing said with a smile, "I have this idea now."
"Some haven't been built yet, but the one closest to us is the most comprehensive." Brother Zhezi said, "But if Brother Qing is willing, let's try it. The ones in the wilderness have a unique flavor."
As he spoke, his tone changed, and Liu Yaoqing didn't talk to her.
The hot spring closest to where they lived was the first to be built, and it has now been completely completed.The style of the building complex is controlled by Du Xiu. It is said that it was inspired by an ancient painting. Walking in it has the illusion of becoming a fairy. , there is no cloud and mist, and it is very tight.
Inside is a complete yard, which is divided into smaller yards. There are places for changing clothes and places for taking showers.
For example, on the other side of the house, there are large pools like a Chase shop for many people, there are also individual pools like a single room, and the best big pool is only enjoyed by one person. When the price is set in the future, the better the price, the higher the price. .
Liu Yaoqing was carrying her clothes, and she and Brother Zhezi stepped on the smooth wooden floor with bare feet, and said as they walked forward, "At that time, in our place, you can pay the least money to enter the door, so you can only take a bath, use the most common Changing rooms and showers, other meals, drinks, etc., have to charge more money."
In this way, the poor and the rich are distinguished, but they can all enjoy the hot springs. This is what Liu Yaoqing wants to do.
It's just that what Liu Yaoqing said was all about the future, and now everyone who comes to take a bath in the hot springs goes to the most common big pool.
There are two big pools, one for the men and one for the brother, and there is also a small pool that is open, and there are also pairs of men and brothers to wash, but the pool must be cleaned after washing, otherwise you will not be able to come in the future Hot spring bath.
On the other hand, Dachizi is better. When the time comes to clean it, everyone will come together, and it will be cleaned up in less than half an hour, so everyone likes to come to Dachizi.
Liu Yaoqing carried her clothes and walked towards the small pond, said: "Brother Zhezi, we have to clean today."
"I'll clean it up, Brother Qing just watch over it." Brother Zhezi smiled.
"How can I do that, I have to work too." Liu Yaoqing purposely put on a straight face, her cheeks bulging.
When entering the water, there are steps inside, with rough textures to prevent slipping, and it can also be used as a bench to sit on.This time Liu Yaoqing also brought a small wooden table with thin wooden boards standing around it, inside which were put snacks and immortal wine, you can eat and drink as you want.
The wooden table moved slowly in the pool, Liu Yaoqing could finish the snacks here and eat there.
After the two of them took a bath, they let out all the water in the pool, cleaned it up and put it in the pool again, waiting for the next visit.
Going back to the house, Brother Hui was already waiting.
"Brother Xing sent a letter, saying that Brother Guo is pregnant." Brother Hui said happily, "Brother Qing, I'm going to go back and have a look, how is it?"
"It's a great thing." Liu Yaoqing said happily, "Let's all go back, this is a big deal, to ask brother Guo to meet our mother, and to ask father to prepare peach pits, I don't know if mother has gone to the mountain to pick them up."
Although it is not allowed to be known before three months of pregnancy, my family does not need to be taboo about this, and some things have to be prepared now, which is similar to getting married, which is quite cumbersome.
At that time, Liu Yaoqing was all busy with Mrs. Li. He only remembered that when he was on the mountain, the food he ate in the morning was something he had never eaten before, but it tasted good. Now that he thinks about it, Mrs. Li made it himself, but he didn’t That's all.
The days on the island are almost over, the weather is hot now, but the island is very cool, if it wasn't for Guo Geer being pregnant, Liu Yaoqing would not want to leave.
"I'll leave the matter on the island to you." Liu Yaoqing said to Du Xiu, "Now build the hot spring first, and I'll think about it later and see if it can be fully put into use after winter this year."
Now the amount of money invested in the island every day is astonishing, Liu Yaoqing wondered if he should move out all the rewards from the emperor and not keep them in the treasury.
Thinking of the scene where it will be officially put into use, Du Xiu's heart moved, and he said, "Don't worry, Brother Qing, it will definitely be successful."
"But don't be too tired." Liu Yaoqing changed the subject again, "If you let me know that you are tired and sick, then I will temporarily leave the affairs of the island to someone else."
"I saved it." Du Xiu was a little moved.
Although everyone has the opportunity to take a four-day break from work every month, even if Du Xiu wants to go home and have a look, Liu Yaoqing can arrange for him, but he still has never had a rest, and he is not very tired.
Leave by boat, join Xingge and Guogeer, and go home non-stop all the way.
Liu Yaoqing didn't tell anyone, but secretly told Li Shi, even when Brother Xing and Brother Guo came back to the mountain, not many people knew about it.
"Sure, I'm ready. Brother Xing and Brother Guo have to live on the mountain for at least seven days." Li Shi said, "Also, Brother Qing, tell the children, don't let them run into Brother Guo .”
