Chapter 172 Guess Who I Met
At this moment, on the official road.
Guifang never thought that she could face so many customers alone. She began to greet every passerby warmly and introduce their special dishes.
She was a little nervous at first, but as time went on, she gradually found her rhythm and confidence.
As the sun gradually set, the busyness and excitement of the day made Guifang forget her initial worries.
She felt a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment as she watched the barrel become emptier and emptier.
She completed today's task through her own efforts and did an excellent job.
In the evening, when Shen Yan and Sister Xiaolan came to take over, Shen Yan felt very relieved to see Guifang smiling brightly.
She encouraged him, "Guifang, you did a great job today! We will leave it to you with confidence in the future."
When Guifang heard this, her smile became even brighter. She knew that she had grown a lot after today's training.
She is determined to keep working hard to make Xiao Xiang Xiang Shop better and better.
Shen Yan didn't have much time to set up the stall these days, so he handed the work over to others and stayed at home alone with Uncle Asheng to figure out how to build a cellar.
Finally, a week later, the main construction of the cellar was completed.
Uncle Asheng and Shen Yan stood at the door of the newly built cellar, looking at their achievements with joy.
The cellar is buried deep underground, and its white walls and solid structure show their hard work and tacit cooperation.
Shen Yan patted Uncle Sheng on the shoulder and said, "Uncle Sheng, thank you for your help. Without you, this cellar would not have been built so perfectly."
Uncle Sheng smiled and shook his head: "Shen Yan, this is what I should do. You have always been so kind to Xiaolan and me, I am willing to help."
They walked out of the cellar together and closed the door.
"By the way, Uncle Asheng, can you repair a toilet? Oh, that's a toilet." Shen Yan couldn't stand this ancient toilet, it was so smelly. She even prepared the drawings and asked Uncle Asheng to help her build a new and clean toilet.
Uncle Sheng looked at the blueprint and said, "Sister Yan, your request is too high. Nowadays, every household has this kind of toilet. Who would build a toilet inside the house?"
Of course Shen Yan knew, she explained: "It's like this, it's not about building the toilet inside the house, but building the toilet into a room, which can be flushed, so it won't be so smelly in the summer."
Uncle Sheng looked at the drawings and fell into deep thought. This was indeed a bit difficult.
He took the drawing handed over by Shen Yan and carefully looked at the design and markings on it.
The drawings show a modern toilet design, including a separate structure, flushing equipment and an effective drainage system.
Uncle Sheng pondered for a moment, then let out a long sigh.
"Sister Yan, this is such a huge project. I've never seen these devices before, and I don't know how to install them."
Uncle Sheng said with some embarrassment.
Shen Yan knew that this was indeed a challenge for Uncle Sheng.
She patted Uncle Sheng's shoulder gently and said, "Uncle Sheng, I know this is complicated, but I believe you have enough wisdom and skills to complete this task. If we can transform this toilet into a more sanitary and comfortable place, it will benefit all of us."
Uncle Sheng thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay, Sister Yan, since you trust me so much, I will do my best. I need some time to understand the principles and installation methods of these new devices."
So, Uncle Sheng and Shen Yan started a new cooperation.
They first went to the town together to find vendors who could provide the needed equipment and materials.
Uncle Sheng carefully studied the purpose and installation steps of each piece of equipment, and tried his best to combine new technology with the traditional toilet structure.
The construction process was not smooth. Faced with various technical difficulties and implementation challenges, Uncle Sheng often felt helpless.
But whenever he saw Shen Yan's eyes silently supporting and encouraging him, he would feel an immense courage and motivation surge in his heart.
Finally, after several days of hard work, the new toilet was finally built.
It is no longer a simple toilet, but a modern bathroom with a solid structure, good ventilation and complete facilities.
Shen Yan and Uncle Sheng stood outside the toilet, looking at the result they had created together, their hearts filled with pride and joy.
"Uncle Sheng, you are awesome! Without your help, I don't think this project would have been successful."
Shen Yan patted Uncle Sheng's shoulder gratefully.
Uncle Sheng smiled and shook his head: "It is you who gave me the confidence and motivation, Sister Yan. I believe this new toilet will bring a better living environment to everyone."
They walked out of the toilet together and closed the door.
At the same time, the Song family.
The second daughter-in-law of the Song family was arguing with her niece from her mother's family, "Liu Hongjuan, you want a gift of ten taels of silver to marry my son. Isn't this asking too much? Why don't you just rob him?!"
Before, because of Second Aunt Song’s trick, she accidentally brought her niece from her mother’s side and her son Song Yunchen together. Now, she regrets it so much!
"Anyway, it's up to you to marry or not. Ten taels of silver is impossible. Just give up on this idea. My son can still get married even without you. You are his cousin. Why do you want so much silver? Don't you show some consideration for him?"
Second Aunt Song had nothing to worry about. She didn't want her son to marry Liu Hongjuan in the first place. This old girl couldn't get married at home and now she was relying on her son. But how dare she ask for so much dowry?
Liu Hongjuan was also frightened, fearing that her aunt would not let Song Yunchen marry her, so she quickly changed her words and said, "Aunt, this is not my idea either. I will go home and discuss it with my mother, and I will definitely lower the betrothal gift. I can't bear to let Yunchen spend this money!"
She was also caught in the middle, mainly because, if she married Song Yunfeng, she would definitely ask for more dowry, but now the person she was going to marry was Song Yunchen, her cousin, and they were related. If she asked for too much and they fell out, she would have trouble living in the future.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Song family felt very uncomfortable listening to the quarrels coming from the second branch.
Now the first and second wives have separated, but Aunt Song is still unhappy.
She said to Boss Song, "Guess who I met when I went out today?"
Boss Song was writing in the study. When he heard his wife talking, he looked up and asked, "Who did you meet?"
Aunt Song said, "She's from the second son's family. She wants to eat me when she sees me. Although we've separated, we still see her every now and then. I still think she's too annoying. She always makes the house a mess and we can't have peace!"
"So, what are you going to do?" asked Boss Song.
"Build a wall." Aunt Song said, "Old Song, I still think we should build a wall from the courtyard, so that we can separate the two families, and we won't hear them quarreling anymore."
Boss Song thought thoughtfully: "But in this case, doesn't it seem like we are going too far?"
