Chapter 352 Arranging the Wedding Room
Shopkeeper Luo didn't intend to pursue the matter of the missing wood.

Even if he wanted to investigate, he didn't have the ability. Sheriff Xiao even sent someone to take away dozens of carts of wood. How could he pursue it?
They businessmen will never be stupid enough to fight with officials, so they can only consider themselves unlucky in this matter.

But before he left, he kept his hands behind his back, walked to Xiao Ningxue who was instructing to carry the wood, and warned with a gloomy face.

"Since Miss Xiao looks down on the Hongda firm and refuses to be used by the Bai Dadong family, then she can do it herself in the future." After finishing speaking, she left angrily without caring about Xiao Ningxue's expression.

Xiao Ningxue turned her head to look at him, and shrugged her shoulders.

Bai Chengzhi, Hongda Company~ Whether it is people or business, she will be her enemy sooner or later. Even so, what else can I be polite to shopkeeper Luo? Let him go.

Worried that the wood would be stolen at night, Wang Yonggui and Xiao Zhenwang sent people to call all the horses and carts from Niujia Village, a merchant village, and it took a day and a night to move all the wood to the pavement foundation in the center of the new city.

There are people on duty for twelve hours in the city, and the laws are strict, no one dares to steal, and it is very safe to store wood on the house site.

The matter of timber is settled, and the next thing to do is to plan the pavement and start construction.

After dinner the next morning, Xiao Ningxue asked Wang Yonggui to summon all the villagers with the three surnames Xiao, Sai, and Wang to hold a meeting on the village's Shaguping.

On the sun valley flat, there are piles here and there, full of bright yellow corn cobs. The women moved the small stools, rubbed the corn cobs and pricked up their ears, listening to Wang Yonggui's speech.

As always, Wang Yonggui, holding a 'loud horn' made of sheepskin in one hand and waving a bong in the other, stood on a high platform specially built with bricks and spoke to the big guys with a smile on his face.

"Now that the crops in the field have been harvested, the big guys have time to spare, and they have to allocate manpower to build the pavement."
"Each family and household dispatched three laborers to come out, regardless of wages. After the shop is repaired, each household will be assigned a shop."

"As for the wood, Miss Xue said, it is 30 taels of silver per household, and the shopkeeper will collect it later."

After hearing this, everyone whispered to each other, and some people asked in disbelief.

"Mr. Wang, did you say something wrong? The timber only costs 30 taels of silver?"

"That's right, this is the price that Xue girl bought for you." Wang Yonggui waved the pipe at the big guy, smiling so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

All the people on the sun valley flat blushed with joy, and the women forgot to rub the corn cobs.

"This, this is too cheap, isn't it?"

"Yeah, the price is just for shipping, right?"

"Girl Xue, didn't you post money for everyone? Now that everyone has money, we can afford as much as you want, so don't post it for everyone."

"Uncle, aunt, aunt, uncle, aunt, don't worry, I haven't posted a penny." Seeing that the big guys didn't believe it, Xiao Ningxue quickly stood on the stage and explained to everyone with a smile.

"We bought a lot of wood, so we got the cheapest price. On average, the wood needed for a shop did only cost 30 taels of silver, but the rest of the labor has to be paid by yourself."
After hearing Xiao Ningxue's explanation, the villagers all beamed with joy.

Originally, the bare wood might have cost several hundred taels, but this box only cost 30 taels. Who wouldn’t be so excited that their eyes would get wet?
Although the big guy has some money on hand, it is hard-earned hard-earned money! Cantaloupe, watermelon, cantaloupe, which one is not carefully cultivated with sweat?
Weeding, catching insects, carrying water and fertilizing ~ all of them are tanned like charcoal, everyone's palms are spread out, which one is not full of calluses? Now that Xue girl has saved them so much money, they are also very grateful!
"Xue girl, you are the lucky star of us all."

"Yeah, we can't thank you enough."

"The pavement of you and Xue girl has been covered by labor.'

Xiao Ningxue looked at the faces filled with tears of gratitude, and couldn't help laughing. Everyone retreated all the way north, and came here through life and death. She would never treat any kind and righteous people badly.

At this time, the members of the Zhang clan and Zhao clan who were watching from a distance, when they heard that they could get a prosperous shop by paying 30 taels of silver and a few labors, all of them were so regretful that their intestines were green, and they all resented speak out.

"It's all the patriarch's fault~ We've lost a lot this time.

"Isn't it? This pavement is repaired, no matter whether it is built by itself or rented out, it will earn at least 300 taels a year."

"A lot of businessmen want to come here to buy shops. If they want to sell them, the minimum price is 500 taels of silver."

"Oh, what a shame! If I had known earlier, I would have handed over the land to Xiao Ningxue!"

These people were discussing regretfully, Patriarch Zhang and Patriarch Zhao walked into the crowd with half-smiles, deliberately raising their voices to let everyone hear.

"Xiao Ningxue looks like the cantaloupe can't be sold, so I can only use the store to calm everyone's anger.

"Isn't it? There are so many stored in the cellar, only waiting to rot."

"If we hadn't broken up with Xiao Ningxue, how much money would we have made selling cantaloupe? Otherwise, we would only be losing money."

After hearing the words of Patriarch Zhang and Patriarch Zhao, the clan members surnamed Zhang and Zhao clan members stopped talking.

Everyone has indeed made a lot of money selling cantaloupe. Although the store is losing money, at least the cantaloupe can be sold by itself in the future. There is no need for Xiao Ningxue to earn the money.

Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem too bad.

Thinking of this, no matter how much you slander Xiao, Wang, and Sai, the villagers can't help but say nothing.

Over there, the shopkeeper Qian has already set up the table and started to collect money for the wood from the big guys. In addition, he will also register the names of the people sent by each household to work, so as to facilitate the unified distribution of work.

After collecting all the wood money from the big guy, Xiao Ningxue called the treasurer Qian and others together for a separate meeting.

Shopkeeper Qian brought more than 20 shopkeepers from the Merchant Village. With so many shops to repair, it is definitely not enough to rely on the people of Taohua Village. Additional labor and carpenters have to be hired.

Manpower is needed in every aspect, and all of these must be handed over to Shopkeeper Qian and the others to manage them.

Shopkeeper Qian was appointed as the big shopkeeper, and Xiao Ningxue planned to hand over all expenses to him.

In addition, Sai Dongshi was transferred to Gaoyang City, and the business of the fresh fruit shop also needed manpower. Fortunately, the rich and trustworthy shopkeepers, who are shrewd and trustworthy businessmen, can handle it wherever they are sent.

There are fewer and fewer cantaloupe in the market now, and the price has risen a little bit. It is time to slowly sell them.

After arranging these, Xiao Ningxue took some time to draw out the blueprints of the shop and handed them over to Shopkeeper Qian.

During the time when Xiao Ningxue went to Gaoyang City, Treasurer Qian had already brought people to sort out the foundations, and it would be fine to build directly according to the drawings.

After all, Xiao Ningxue believed in Shopkeeper Qian's ability, so she just left things to him.

During the time when Xiao Ningxue went to Gaoyang City, Treasurer Qian had already brought people to sort out the foundations, and it would be fine to build directly according to the drawings.

After all, Xiao Ningxue believed in Shopkeeper Qian's ability, so she just left things to him.

After a lot of busy work, the matter of building the pavement was on the right track. Next, I had to worry about the marriage of Xiao Ruohan and Xiao Ruolian.

Wedding banquets, decorating new houses~ all of these require manpower.

Wang Yonggui specially arranged a dozen men who are good at cooking to prepare the wedding banquet. There is no need to worry about these, but you still have to do it yourself to arrange the new house.

Although the yard is a bit rough and this cannot be changed, at least we can try to make it more festive.

So the whole family split up and went to collect these things.

The task Xiao Ningxue and Wu Chongwen received was to buy red paper and red silk cloth. They never thought that they had traveled all over the old and new cities of Ji'an, and they didn't even buy a piece of red paper or red cloth.

The wedding is only five days away, and it is too late to go to Xinkangcheng to buy.

Although Xiao Ningxue has balloon ribbons and other things to decorate the wedding room in Xiao Ningxue's portable space, she dare not take them out, they are too eye-catching.

At their last resort, Le Qianqian and Le Sisi appeared in front of them hugging each other.

"Pfft, can't you even buy the red silk cloth? I'm sorry, we've sold them all." Le Qianqian's face was full of shame, her proud eyebrows almost raised to the sky.

Originally, she had no hope of marrying Li Jing. She never thought that the empress dowager married her to Li Jing after only a letter from her father to the capital.

Although being a flat wife is a bit wronged, Xiao Ruohan, that brainless tomboy, can only be trampled under her feet~ Just thinking about it makes me feel happy.

Although Le Sisi was not able to marry Li Jing, Gongsun Yu was not bad, and she was satisfied with the second best.

After the imperial decree came down, she and Le Qianqian became much more peaceful. After all, they had the same enemy and had the same topic, and they got closer.

At this moment, Le Sisi was holding an oiled paper umbrella, raising her eyelids at Xiao Ningxue, with a sneer on her face.

"Looks like Xiao Ruohan and Xiao Ruolian are pitiful. I'm afraid they can't even post happy words when they get married~"

They had a bad idea early in the morning and bought all the red silk and red paper wedding dresses.

On the other hand, the man was completely unprepared because of the sudden marriage. Two brides came in at the same time, so two rooms had to be prepared for the new house, and he was too busy.

Xiao Wenzhao also wrote to them early in the morning, saying that they don't need to worry about it, and they will just come and get married at that time.

Therefore, the man didn't send any clothes or anything, and it was precisely because of this that Le Qianqian and Le Sisi deliberately played tricks like this.

Marrying from a humble village is enough to lose face, but now they don't even have wedding clothes, no happy words, let alone other things, can their marriage be reduced to a joke?
Seeing the faces of Le Qianqian and Le Sisi, Xiao Ningxue couldn't help but sneered.

"Do you really want to see other people's jokes? Heh, just wait and see!" After speaking, Xiao Ningxue pulled Wu Chongwen and left.

Xin Dao wants to see the jokes of her two cousins? Really don't let them watch.

After returning, Xiao Ningxue searched in the portable space. Balloons are inconvenient to take out, but fortunately, she found ribbon hydrangeas. Although the materials of these things are a bit special, they can all be taken out. of.

In addition, she can grow a lot of flowers in her portable space, and she can also use them.

She will definitely find a way to decorate the wedding room beautifully, so that the man who comes to pick up the bride will not look down upon her.
