Zhao Feng and Chen Rou arrived at Chenjiazhuang in a car. Chen Shan and Wang saw that Zhao Feng and Chen Rou had brought back so many good things, especially the dozen pieces of cloth, each of which was very exquisite. This naturally made them happy. The whole family was delighted.
Zhao Feng also said that he was going to the capital, and Chen Shan did not stop him. Instead, he said that he would go over from time to time to check on the progress of building a house, so that Zhao Feng could rest assured.
There is no need to go into details about this matter. After all, since Zhao Feng became capable, Wang and Chen Shan's attitude towards Zhao Feng has become better and better. This time they got back so many things, but it gave them both a lot of face. .
Since the contractor team to build the house would come the next day, Zhao Feng got up early the next day and returned to Zhaojiazhuang.
Chen Rou said that she would rush out the clothes in the next few days, and that Zhao Feng would be able to wear them in good spirits.
Zhao Feng discussed in detail the style and materials of the house with the contracting team, but there was nothing easy to discuss. After all, this contracting team was just an ordinary contracting team in the county.
Even if Zhao Feng has many ideas in his mind, their technology cannot realize them at all.
Zhao Feng couldn't help but sigh a little when he saw that the contractor team was planning to build a house with a mixed structure of brick and earth.
After all, such a structure cannot be said to be bad, but it is really boring to live in it, because to ensure the structural strength of the house and heat preservation in winter, the windows will not be particularly large.
Moreover, most of the windows in this era were covered with some straw paper, which not only provided poor warmth, but also provided poor lighting.
But there was nothing he could do about it. Zhao Feng shook his head and felt that after he came back, he would have to start thinking about developing cement.
If cement can be developed and concrete can be produced, it will definitely be a leapfrog improvement in building materials!
If glass can be produced again, the windows can be strong and warm while ensuring lighting at the same time!
It's a pity that although Zhao Feng knows the formulas of these things, he doesn't have the time now, and he doesn't dare to get them.
Even though Zhao Feng has now built a waterwheel and improved the fabric dyeing and production methods for the Shen family, Zhao Feng did this while ensuring his own safety and that these things would not be leaked.
If someone really notices these super-era things that Zhao Feng has created, not only will they not bring wealth to Zhao Feng, but they may bring disaster to Zhao Feng!
This is why Zhao Feng is so careful and has been hiding in this countryside!
"This matter can only be dealt with slowly. Now that I am running a partnership with the Shen family, my own strength will gradually increase in the future. I will be able to get these things out when I don't have to worry about others coveting them!"
Zhao Feng thought this in his mind, and then asked the contractor team to completely demolish the original old house and build a house in its original location.
Although Zhao Feng's previous house was dilapidated and small, the homestead was not the only one.
In this era of rural areas, all houses are not very big, and those who can really afford to build a house must be at the landlord level!
Therefore, the start of construction of Zhao Feng's house at this time also attracted the attention of the villagers. Seeing that the contracting team had circled a large area of land, the villagers all marveled.
"Or maybe it's Zhao Feng. He wasn't very motivated when he wasn't married, but he's been married for just half a year and is about to build a new house!"
"That's right. He has a good mind and is a tiger-fighting hero. I heard he is still making a fortune in the county!"
Hearing this, the villagers all showed gossipy expressions.
A neighbor who lived relatively close to Zhao Feng and the others said mysteriously.
"If nothing else, let's just talk about the waterwheel they built. Didn't a well-dressed man come to the village a few days ago?"
"It is said that that man spent one hundred taels of silver to buy this waterwheel from Zhao Feng!"
The people around them all showed shocked expressions. They couldn't believe that that small waterwheel could be sold for one hundred taels of silver!
Those who had more land at home nodded and said.
"Don't tell me how useful this water wheel is. It only needs a few bamboo poles to guide water into the fields. We don't need to work hard to carry water!"
"And no matter how much land is watered day and night, the harvest will be huge!"
The other people were also a little emotional. They thought they wouldn't be able to use this waterwheel before, but they didn't expect that this year, there was really no rain. A dark cloud finally appeared, but it dispersed the next day.
This waterwheel saved all of their lives. Otherwise, the crops in the field would have died of drought long ago!
"Maybe, some rich and landed person bought this waterwheel from him!"
Those around him were guessing, but they couldn't guess the truth at all.
Only the three Li brothers who heard this in the dark had expressions of surprise on their faces.
"Oh my god, that little waterwheel actually sold for one hundred taels of silver?"
"Are you kidding me?"
As they thought this way, they had bad thoughts in their hearts.
Zhao Feng, on the other hand, exchanged greetings with the villagers and promised to hold a banquet to celebrate when the new house was built.
The villagers left happily.
Two days later, Chen Rou came back with two pieces of clothes she had made by herself.
In the past two days, Chen Rou had been sewing this dress herself day and night, just to finish it before Zhao Feng left for the capital.
Chen Rou happily walked back from Chenjiazhuang with her clothes, while Zhao Feng was supervising the workers to build a house, but suddenly a carriage stopped in front of him.
Zhao Feng looked at this luxurious-looking carriage with some confusion, but to his surprise, Shen Chuchu got out of the carriage.
"Mr. Zhao, so you are here!"
Seeing Shen Chuchu, Zhao Feng couldn't help but laugh.
"It turns out to be Miss Shen, why did you come here to find me?"
Shen Chuchu laughed, walked to Zhao Feng, looked at the house under construction, shook her head and said with a smile.
"No wonder you don't want to live in the county. The environment in the countryside is better!"
"I'm here to ask you, can we officially set off tomorrow?"
Zhao Feng nodded and said to Shen Chuchu with a smile.
"Don't worry, we can leave tomorrow. You didn't come here just to ask me this question, right?"
Shen Chuchu waved her hand.
"That's not true. I came here to collect some silkworm cocoons and mulberry."
"Then I'll go do my own thing first, and I'll come to pick you up tomorrow!"
Zhao Feng smiled and nodded in agreement, and Shen Chuchu got back into the carriage before leaving.
But what Zhao Feng didn't know was that Chen Rou, who had already reached the entrance of the village, saw all this. When the carriage passed by, the curtain of the carriage was opened by Shen Chuchu, and Chen Rou also saw Shen Chuchu. Chu Chu’s extremely delicate face.
