Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 17
The old master who built the house also witnessed the benefits of the kang. The heated kang can keep warm for a long time. Not only will the house be much warmer, but it will also be warmer when sleeping on it.

This has brought good news to many poor people.With this heated kang, there is no need to suffer from the cold in winter.

The house type designed by Jing Yi is also very novel, which also gave great inspiration to the old master who built the house.

Jing Yi agreed with the master to pass on the method of building a kang that he had learned, hoping to bring warmth to some people.This is a craft, and Jing Yi gave it to the master so easily, and the master didn't ask for wages in order to thank Jing Yi.

Jing Yi didn't force it, and she really didn't have much silver taels in her hands. She spent more than 400 taels of silver on the purchase of materials, furniture, and wages for building the house, and now she only has 100 taels left in her hand. That's two more silver.

They also need to buy daily necessities such as bedding, pots and pans, as well as food, and there are many places where they need to spend money.

Fortunately, she saved the pregnant woman and got 500 taels of silver. Otherwise, she really couldn't build the house so quickly according to her wish.

Jing Yi bought blue bricks, stones and other materials in advance, and finally surrounded the house to form a yard, which is both secret and safe, and no one knows what their house is doing when the gate is closed.

Jing Yi bought a foundation with an area of ​​more than three acres. In addition to a large yard in the front, a backyard was also built in the back.The backyard is also fenced in with bricks.

The backyard is not so particular, using a lot of irregular stones.This kind of stone is cheaper than bricks in this place, Jing Yi bought a lot of them to build walls, and even surrounded the backyard.

There is a door to the backyard next to the side room of the main house, and you can go to the backyard by opening this door.

The area of ​​the backyard is larger than that of the front yard. The front yard is the place for daily activities, while the backyard is the place for raising chickens, ducks, and growing vegetables. Chicken coops are specially built to enclose the place for raising chickens.

Jing Yi also had people build a stable and carriage shed.It is very likely that she will buy a carriage in the future, so that it is convenient to go shopping in the county.There is also a gate in the backyard to facilitate the entry and exit of carriages.

Jing Yi also asked someone who can dig wells to dig a well in the backyard, so that water will be convenient in the future.

After more than a month of intensive construction, the house was finally completed and the furniture was moved into the new home one by one.Such a house is quite good for the country.

The villagers in Yunxi Village also know that the newly settled Mr. Chu is a doctor. It was not easy to become a doctor in ancient times, and a doctor must not be a poor man, so the villagers are not surprised that Jing Yi built a house. .

Many villagers have also seen Jing Yi, and many girls in the village were amazed by Jing Yi's handsome appearance.Coupled with Jing Yi's status as a doctor and a rather solid family background, many girls in the village have come up with Jing Yi's idea.

Many people think that if their girl marries Mr. Chu in the future, the whole family will be honored.

After cleaning the house, Jing Yi took Qiao Hong to buy various daily necessities and food.

There is no pollution problem in the current house. Jing Yi moved in with her mother and Qiao's brothers and sisters after the house was aired out for a few days.

They only knew the village head when they first arrived, so Jing Yi asked the village head to invite several senior people in the village to come to the house with the village head for a meal, which was considered a housewarming feast.

The village head was very happy that the new Mr. Chu was so polite, so he helped invite several old people in the village to the Chu family to attend the housewarming banquet.

Since then, Jing Yi and the others have taken root in Yunxi Village.

Mrs. Liu entered the new house, and under the guidance of Jing Yi, she visited the new home she was going to live in in the future. She was surprised to hear some functions of the house introduced by her daughter, "Brother Yan, this house is really well built, and it feels comfortable to live in at first glance. .The latrine and the bathroom are really well made, and the kang and earth dragon, I have never heard of it. Your idea is really wonderful."

Thinking of her daughter's adventure, Liu easily accepted her daughter's wonderful ideas.The daughter has been enlightened by the gods to teach the fairy method, and it is possible for the daughter to do any amazing things.

Jing Yi said with a smile: "Mother, I designed this house myself. I just do what I feel comfortable with. Let's live in it first, and we'll buy what we need in the future. Living at home is more convenient than living in an inn."

Mrs. Liu nodded and said, "Mother has a house to live in. It's fine now."

Jing Yi and her mother live in the main room, and let the Qiao family brothers and sisters live in the wing room.There are only a few of them and they don't pay so much attention.

The brothers and sisters of the Qiao family were also very happy to see the new house. They each had a room, which was a very good condition for them.

After moving into a new home, Jing Yi didn't have much money left, and there were still a lot of things to buy at home.

Now it's autumn, and before winter they have to prepare cotton-padded clothes, thick quilts, and other clothes.In winter, I have to buy some charcoal, prepare firewood, etc., and have to spend money on food for several people in the future.

She was planning to buy a few acres of land, but now that almost all the money has been spent, she can only wait to buy the land.Fortunately, it is now autumn, and the season for planting crops has passed, so there is no rush to buy land.

But to support the family members, she had to find a way to make money.

Jing Yi turned her gaze to the mountains not far away. There are mountains and rivers here, so you don't have to worry too much about food, but you have to think of ways to earn money to buy land.

Not many people know about her current medical skills, and she expects to see a doctor for a while and won't make much money.She is going to go to the mountains first to see if there are any more expensive medicinal materials, maybe she can earn some money if she is lucky.

She is also planning to go to the county seat to see if there is any way to make money.If you want to buy a carriage in the future, you will need more money.

Hey, money is really needed everywhere!

Finally, I can comfortably eat a delicious meal in the evening.Jing Yi and Qiao Yan made dinner together.After coming to this world, Jing Yi is not used to the food here.The food here is not only boiled, but also baked and steamed.

There are very few stir-fry dishes, and the variety of food is also very small.Some seasonings for cooking are even more pitiful, such as soy sauce for cooking has not been invented yet, and the food is very bland.Thanks to table salt, vinegar was also invented.Otherwise, Jing Yi would really collapse.

The grains in this world include wheat, rice, sorghum, millet (corn), millet (rhubarb rice), soybeans, etc. The output is very low, and farmers have to pay taxes, so few farmers today can eat enough.Wild vegetables account for a large part of the daily meals of the people at the bottom.

When Jing Yi picked up her mother today, she bought a piece of fatty pork and some vegetables.She is going to cook by herself today.

Jing Yi asked Qiao Hong to light the fire, and asked Qiao Yan to follow suit.She cut the fatty meat into small pieces and fried it in the pan, and soon a tempting aroma of fried meat wafted out.
