Shock!My pampered fool is the regent

Chapter 29 Buying bricks and tiles, recruiting workers
Early the next morning, Ji Xiaoxiao took Ye Wuyan to Zhangjia Village. They were going to buy bricks and tiles, and they could start construction when Li De came the day after tomorrow.

As a result, not long after walking out of the house, I heard people in the village talking and looking at the two of them enviously from time to time.

Ji Xiaoxiao was still a little puzzled, only from their vague conversation did she understand why?
It turned out that they made dozens of taels selling old ginseng all at once, and it spread in the village, which made many people envious for a while.

The countrymen dig food in the fields, and one mu of land is only a few taels of silver year-round.

In the end, Ji Xiaoxiao and Ye Wuyan were so lucky to find the old ginseng left by Doctor Ye. The sale was worth the hard work of the villagers for several years.

But it attracted the attention of the villagers. Most people are envious, but there is not much jealousy.

But it’s not like there are no jealous people. Ji’s eldest family is so jealous that their hearts hurt. Who knew that they would find a bad marriage for Ji Xiaoxiao, and actually make Ji Xiaoxiao prosperous and live a good life. two silver coins.

The elder Ji's family was so angry that they couldn't eat, and the elder Ji's wife, Li Xiuyun, had been cursing in the yard since she knew the news.

Ji Xin thought of the handsome Ye Wuyan, and then thought that Ji Xiaoxiao had obtained such a large fortune, and her silver teeth were almost shattered.

Why?Why is Ji Xiaoxiao still living so well now, not to mention the money, there is actually a handsome husband like Ye Wuyan, even if Ye Wuyan is a fool, but just with that face, he is also Ji Xiaoxiao's match Can you get it?
The more Ji Xin thought about it, the more she couldn't figure it out, and when she heard Li Xiuyun's scolding, her heart swelled with anger. Ji Xiaoxiao, a little slut, still wanted to live a good life, she was so beautiful!

Li Xiuyun scolded dryly, "Head of the family, have you contacted a good person? Maybe you can get dozens of taels more this time."

Ji Boss had a dark face, "I see, I'll go today." After speaking, he walked out of the courtyard.

Seeing the back of Boss Ji leaving, Ji Xin's eyes flashed, "Mother, why are you going?"

Li Xiuyun pooh pooh twice, "Don't worry about it, Ji Xiaoxiao's little hoof won't have a good life anyway."

……

Zhangjia Village.

Ji Xiaoxiao watched for a while at the entrance of Zhangjia Village, and followed the instructions of the village chief to come to a house with a big banyan tree outside the courtyard gate at the entrance of the village.

As soon as he walked into the yard, there was a dog barking, and Ji Xiaoxiao was startled, but he was relieved to see the big black dog being chained.

Ji Xiaoxiao stretched out her head and glanced into the yard, but saw no one, she raised her voice and shouted, "Is anyone home?"

"Here, who is it?" A middle-aged man's voice came, and Ji Xiaoxiao saw a figure walk out of the room.

Ji Xiaoxiao smiled, "We are from Jijia Village next door. I heard that your house has bricks and tiles for sale. My family wants to build a house and want to buy some."

The middle-aged man who came out was Zhang Yuan, the host of the house.

Zhang Yuan heard that he was here to buy bricks and tiles, and the two of them smiled at Ji Xiaoxiao, "Yes, our house has been burning bricks and tiles for decades, how much do you buy?"

After speaking, he shouted loudly into the room, "My mother, pour out two bowls of water."

Ji Xiaoxiao waved his hand quickly, "No, no."

Zhang Yuan touched the top of his hair, "Come in and talk."

Ji Xiaoxiao walked into the yard with Ye Wuyan, and Mrs. Zhang Yuan just poured two bowls of water out, and Ji Xiaoxiao had to take it with a smile.

Zhang Yuan took the two to the backyard, "This is where we burn bricks and tiles, let's see how much we need."

The Zhang family's business is not as big as the special factory in the town, so they simply expanded their backyard to use it for work. The whole yard was piled up with a lot of bricks and tiles and divided into several areas.

Ji Xiaoxiao bowed her head and pondered for a moment, "Let's buy 5000 yuan bricks and 3000 yuan tiles first, and then decide if it is not enough." This amount should be enough, and you can buy it again at any time if it is not enough.

Zhang Yuan agreed, "Yes, we can deliver it to your door when you want it."

Zhang Yuan is very satisfied with doing such a large business. There are few people building houses in this village. Many people build houses with bricks and mud embryos, just to save money for bricks. A brick house requires a lot of money. This business is worth their family's income for a year. Zhang Yuan can't be happy!

Ji Xiaoxiao thought for a while, "I will have it tomorrow night at the latest, can it be delivered?" The construction will start the day after tomorrow, so there is no need to worry about this tile, but not the brick.

Zhang Yuan thought about his own stock, "Okay, it's a coincidence this time, although you want a lot, but it's really there."

Ji Xiaoxiao smiled, "That's good, how is the price calculated?"

Zhang Yuan: "Our prices have not changed for so many years. Bricks are still a penny per piece, and tiles are two penny per piece. You can rest assured that the quality of bricks and tiles are all good."

"Success, let's do it like this." The price is the same as what the village chief told him. Ji Xiaoxiao reckoned that this price is considered cheap, but in this way, the bricks and tiles alone cost 16 Baiwen, this price is really not cheap.

No wonder people in the village say that building a house costs money. Many people build their own soil embryo houses. The better ones will come from each other, and only the wealthy ones will use bricks to build their houses.

This cost plus labor and other materials add up to at least a dozen or 20 taels. If you want to build a bigger house, the price will be even higher.

Ji Xiaoxiao looked at Zhang Yuan with a smile, "Uncle Zhang, you see that we bought so much, maybe it's not enough, and we will increase the amount at that time. You are giving us something cheaper."

Zhang Yuan looked confused, the price is really not high, "How about I wipe off the change for you, how about a total of 16 taels?"

Ji Xiaoxiao smiled and blinked, "Okay, then thank you very much."

It’s okay to save five hundred cents. Although it’s not much, I can still pay a few days’ wages, eh!not bad.

"But you really have to pay a deposit of five taels, and the remaining silver will be paid after the goods are delivered."

"Okay." Ji Xiaoxiao took out five taels of silver from his pocket and handed it over, "I'll wait for you to deliver it to your door."

Zhang Yuan took the silver and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll take my two boys to send it to you later."

"Okay." Ji Xiaoxiao nodded with a smile, "My husband and I have something else to do." After that, he took Ye Wuyan and left.

They also need to go to the village to find some people to help build the house. Li De will be three people by then. Ji Xiaoxiao pondered for a while and decided to find ten people in the village to help, so it would be thirteen people, which should be enough.

Ji Xiaoxiao rubbed her chin. Since she wanted to make a meal, she still needed to find two people to cook. She didn't plan to do it herself, she had to enjoy it when she had money.

Although she may become a pauper again after building the house, that's a matter of the future. Besides, she plans to sell hot pot ingredients to make money, so she doesn't have to worry about making money.

Ji Xiaoxiao and Ye Wuyan just returned to the village not long ago. When the villagers heard that their family was going to build a house, they all came to ask if they needed help.

Ji Xiaoxiao looked at the middle-aged woman knocking on the door, a little surprised, "Aunt Zhang, why are you here?"

Aunt Zhang smiled, "It's not that the little green vegetables at home are cooked, I thought of getting some for your family."

Ji Xiaoxiao was taken aback by the sudden concern and the smile on Aunt Zhang's face, which had never happened before.

Then her mind changed, Ji Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed with enlightenment, she thought she knew the reason why Aunt Zhang came.

Ji Xiaoxiao took the little green cabbage handed over by Aunt Zhang, "Aunt Zhang is here to ask me about building a house."

Aunt Zhang's smile didn't change, "That's right, you can't hire people to build a house. There are many people in Auntie's house, so I just wanted to ask you if you've got them all. If you don't have me, I can ask my boss to help."

Ji Xiaoxiao shook his head, "Not yet, since Aunt Zhang has this heart, then just come directly the day after tomorrow, 30 wen a day, including a lunch at noon, and the wages will be paid every day after work."

Aunt Zhang's eyes lit up when she heard it, and then she regretted that she only told the boss to come, and knew that all those stinky boys would come.

30 wen a day, which is also a high salary in the town. You must know that people usually loot around 20 wen. Who knew that building a house for Ji Xiaoxiao's family would be so much salary.

oops!Unfortunately, Aunt Zhang was about to ask the other two people in the family to help, but the sound of calls from outside the courtyard interrupted what she was about to say.

Aunt Zhang can only sigh regretfully, "Alas, since someone came to you, I will go back first, the day after tomorrow, I will let my boss come."

"Okay." Ji Xiaoxiao followed Aunt Zhang to the gate of the courtyard, and Ye Wuyan followed Ji Xiaoxiao quietly.

The few people who came outside the door looked at the figures of Ji Xiaoxiao and Aunt Zhang coming out, and couldn't help thinking in their hearts, Zhang Lihua came so fast, and it seemed that they had finished talking, should they be no one? Thinking of the eyes of these people Some are anxious.

Aunt Zhang was in a hurry to go home and didn't say much about these, she said hello and left quickly.

The purpose of several aunts was not on Aunt Zhang, and they talked to Ji Xiaoxiao when they saw people walking away.

Ji Xiaoxiao pinched her brows helplessly, these three women are in a show, there are more than three people here, and the voices of the aunts are already loud.

Ye Wuyan saw that Ji Xiaoxiao's face was not very good, and fiercely stood in front of Ji Xiaoxiao, "Don't make noise."

Ji Xiaoxiao looked at Ye Wuyan's back and laughed lightly, and the faces of the aunts stiffened, and then laughed.

"We didn't quarrel, we just wanted to have something with the little novel."

"Yes, we are just a little louder, don't talk nonsense without words."

Ji Xiaoxiao tugged at the hem of Ye Wuyan's clothes behind Ye Wuyan, and then raised his eyebrows at Ye Wuyan before looking at a few aunts, "Needless to say, aunts, I really need a few more people, aunts are all at home. You can come for one, the salary is..."

Ji Xiaoxiao said the salary and treatment again, and the eyes of several aunts lit up.

Such a good welfare package, that is the best. It takes at least half a month to build a house. 30 cents a day is 450 cents for half a month, which is worth their family's hard work for a month or two. People can earn so much in half a month, and all the aunts are happy.

Several aunties left happily, and before leaving, they promised to help the day after tomorrow.

Ye Wuyan pouted the corner of his mouth after seeing that everyone had left, and rubbed on top of Ji Xiaoxiao's hair.

Ji Lin heard the words of Ji Xiaoxiao and a few aunts clearly in the yard next door, and a flash of emotion flashed in his eyes, "Xiaoyu, you stay at home, I'll go to the little lady's house."

Ji Yu nodded obediently, "Okay."

Ji Lin walked out of the courtyard door quickly, and saw Ji Xiaoxiao and Ye Wuyan's intimate movements, and he blushed.

Ji Xiaoxiao was not affected at all, she gently pushed Ye Wuyan away and smiled at Ji Lin, "It's Ji Lin, what's the matter?"

Ji Lin pursed his lips and walked in front of Ji Xiaoxiao, asking softly, "Miss, do you need someone to repair the house? Can I help?"

Ji Xiaoxiao was taken aback, "You?"

Ji Lin was only 12 years old, and his physique was thinner than his peers. Building a house was rough work, and Ji Lin was a child. How could he do it?

Ji Lin looked at Ji Xiaoxiao's hesitant face, and said firmly: "I'm very strong, I can do anything." After speaking, he looked at Ji Xiaoxiao expectantly.

Ji Xiaoxiao looked at Ji Lin several times, and after seeing that Ji Lin thought there was no hope, Ji Xiaoxiao said slowly, "Can you cook?"

You can't do heavy work with children, you can give him some light work. Ji Xiaoxiao also knows Ji Lin's situation. Since Ji Lin wants to earn money by labor, it is not impossible for Ji Xiaoxiao to give him a chance to earn money.

Ji Lin was startled, but he didn't react yet, but he quickly replied, "I will."

Ji Lin and Ji Yu have been dependent on each other since childhood. They both have very little food. People get tired of eating the same thing all the time. Ji Lin can eat food for Ji Yu, but he often cooks in different ways. I think I can still cook delicious food.

"OK." Ji Xiaoxiao snapped her fingers, and then realized that Ji Lin didn't understand, and smiled awkwardly, "Okay, then you come over the day after tomorrow to help you cook, and the workers' meals will be handed over to you, you can do it. come down?"

Ji Lin nodded heavily upon hearing this, "I can."

Ji Xiaoxiao rubbed Ji Lin's head with a smile, "Okay, let's talk about it, the salary is the same as the person who came to help, 30 per day is the text."

No one has rubbed his head since his parents died. Ji Lin was a little shy by Ji Xiaoxiao's actions, "Little Miss, I don't need so much, just give me a dozen pennies."

Ji Xiaoxiao said with a serious face, "That's not good. Since you help with things, you must be paid. If I give you less, it's not bullying. I'm not such a person."

Ji Lin looked at Ji Xiaoxiao seriously, only to feel a little pantothenic acid in his nose, "Okay, thank you little miss."

Ji Xiaoxiao chuckled, "This is what you bought yourself. You contribute and I contribute to win-win cooperation."

"Thank you for that." Ji Lin said this quickly and ran back to his yard.

Ji Xiaoxiao couldn't stop laughing when she saw the disappearing back, walked to Ye Wuyan's side and took Ye Wuyan's palm, "Let's go, let's go back."

Ye Wuyan tightened the hands of the two, smiled, and followed Ji Xiaoxiao into the room.

Ji Xiaoxiao took Ye Wuyan back to the yard and had nothing to do, and simply leaned in Ye Wuyan's arms and thought about how to act afterward.

Some of the silver taels in their hands have been used up, but there are still more than 16 taels, 450 taels of bricks and tiles are removed, and the next labor cost will be [-] taels in half a month, which is more than six taels. The silver, plus the living expenses for this half month, count at least five hundred cash, that is seven taels of silver.

At that time, other miscellaneous expenses will be added. For example, the stone slabs on the ground will also need to be purchased, and materials will also be purchased if the yard is to be fenced.

Ji Xiaoxiao shook his head and sighed, it seemed that the money making business couldn't be delayed any longer, otherwise they would have to eat coarse grains.

Ye Wuyan heard Ji Xiaoxiao sigh softly, and immediately asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Ji Xiaoxiao rubbed in Ye Wuyan's arms, "It's okay, I'm just thinking about things, by the way, let's go to town tomorrow."

I have to open up the trading market of hot pot condiments. At least I have to keep my quality of life in a good state. I will go to the town for inspection tomorrow.

Ye Wuyan didn't intend to refute Ji Xiaoxiao at all, anyway, he would be very happy with the lady as long as he listened to the lady's words.
