After traveling to ancient times, I became a superb shrew

Chapter 38 Building a Big House

The moonlight is clear.

Gu Qing actually had a dream.

She dreamed of the person she had a crush on in her previous life. That person was as tall as jade and had gentle eyes. He actually knelt down in front of her on one knee and proposed to her.

In her dream, her little deer bumped wildly, her heart beating wildly uncontrollably.

Before she took the ring, she was woken up by the creaking of the door next door, and she woke up suddenly.

It was a big dream, and when I woke up, I felt lost.

In this era, she has already lost the qualifications to talk about love. She has not held the hand of a man, but she already has five husbands and five marriages without love.

Dong Rong got up from the bed with two dark circles under her eyes.

Upon hearing the movement, Gu Qing also woke up. She sat up and asked softly through the wall, "Did you not sleep well?"

Dong Rong shook his head: "I have something on my mind, so I can't sleep."

Unable to fall asleep, Dong Rong simply went out to pick up buckets and went to the entrance of the village.

In the past, I would not fetch water in the morning, because my family did not have the habit of rinsing and washing my face in the morning.

After preparing toiletries for several people, Gu Qing issued a strong order that they must rinse their mouths and wash their faces every morning, otherwise they would not be able to go to the table.

Zhu Han boiled water, sat in the yard to wash his clothes, and then hung them to dry.

Gu Qing opened the cabinet containing the food. The food was bought by Yang Pei the last few times, and it seemed that there was still a lot.

Put more than two catties of millet in a pot to cook porridge, and then bring out some flour. There is meat in the house, so Zhu Han made meat pies, and found more than 20 eggs from the chicken coop. The eggs were boiled, two for each person.

She is not very good at doing it, she just talks about it with her mouth, and Zhu Han will implement it in detail.

The three people who were still sleeping on the bed smelled the smell of oil, licked their lips, walked out of the room with their eyes closed, and walked to the stove with perfect precision, and the halazi continued to flow.

"Go wash your face first!"

Gu Qing opened the paws of several people.

Mo Li took a handful of cool well water and splashed it on his face, and the drowsiness dissipated immediately.

While having breakfast, Gu Qing looked at the table that couldn't sit down at all, and asked: "The last time I asked you to ask about building a house, how did you go?"

Now that there is money in hand, the blue brick and large tile house must be arranged quickly, otherwise there will be no room for so many people in the family.

Although the adobe house is warm in winter and cool in summer, it is not as strong and clean as a blue tile house. As a person in modern society, she prefers to live in a brick house.

"I saw a piece of wasteland. It's big enough. It's surrounded by mountains and rivers. I'll take you to have a look after I sell the mushrooms." After Mo Li finished speaking, he handed the peeled egg to Gu Qing.

Gu Qing also took it naturally, and Dong Rong saw the actions between the two.

After eating and selling the mushrooms, the whole family followed Mo and left the wasteland.

This piece of land is at the foot of the mountain, and it is covered with dry weeds. The wasteland is the most difficult to reclaim, and no one in the village thinks highly of it.

"Patriarch, there are about 30 mu of land here, and one mu of land costs eight coins..." Mo Li calculated the money muttering.

Gu Yu also learned to answer quickly: "Sister, I know, I know, one mu of land is worth eight renminbi, two mu of land is worth sixteen renminbi, and three mu of land is worth two, two and four renminbi..."

Gu Qing's ears were almost callused, she held her forehead and said, "It will be easier for you to do the calculation according to what I said... One mu of land is eight renminbi, ten mu of land, that is eighty renminbi, thirty mu of land, That's three eighty, eighty plus eighty, plus eighty, how much is it?"

Gu Yu stretched out her fingers to count, but it wasn't enough, so she had to squat down to write and draw on the ground. She couldn't write, so she drew eight horizontal lines on the ground, then eight more, and then another. I counted eight of them, and finally counted them carefully, and said happily: "Eldest sister, the total is 240 yuan!"

Gu Qing: "..."

If the amount is larger in the future, there will not be enough ground under our feet.

She had no choice but to speak and guide: "The 240 yuan, how much silver is it in total?"

This question stumped Gu Yu.

She wrote and drew for a long time, but did not come up with an answer.

Gu Qing was almost dying of anxiety, and said calmly: "Ten qian is one tael of silver, 240 qian, there are 24 ten qian, right, so how many taels in total?"

"It's 24 taels of silver!" Gu Yu's eyes lit up, "Elder Sister, you are amazing."

Gu Qing didn't want to look at her stupid look, and said, "24 taels of silver is not a small sum for ordinary people."

Gu Yu also fell silent. She didn't know how much they earned, but she knew how much they spent. They absolutely couldn't make ends meet. It was very likely that they couldn't even afford an acre of land now, yet she dared to imagine more than 30 mu.

She said: "Actually, our house is enough to live in, just about enough to handle it, and we don't need to buy thirty acres..."

"What is the family condition for building a house with 24 mu of land? Are you going to build a palace?" Gu Qing said speechlessly, "[-] taels of silver is not a small amount of money for ordinary people, and our family is not ordinary people."

"Go, find Li Zheng to buy land!"

When she arrived at Lizheng's house, she explained her intentions, and Lizheng said, "Bricks are not cheap these days. A brick costs three Wen. In previous years, you could buy a catty of millet."

Gu Qing continued to ask: "If my house is built, there should be at least seven rooms. How many green bricks will it cost?"

"One brick is so small, a square house has four walls, and one wall needs to be built with two floors. Let's do a rough calculation, and one wall needs more than 1000 blue bricks..."

Lizheng hadn't calculated it before, so he would calculate it casually, and couldn't help but be speechless, "Your house has seven rooms, and there are so many walls in the front and back, which add up to more than 3 blue bricks. I don't know if it is enough, anyway. It costs almost 100 taels of silver for so much, and this house has to be covered with beams and roof tiles, which is more expensive. I think your house will cost 40 taels of silver..."

Gu Qing silently calculated in her heart that if she built a blue-tile house, the courtyard walls of the yard would probably have to be made of bricks, and the ground should not be too muddy. That is more than 200 taels of silver.

200 taels is not much for Gu Qing, and the adobe house is not considered at all. Although her house is a big brick house, as long as she continues to collect mountain goods, everyone in the village will have money. I believe those who build blue brick houses There will be more and more, anyway, it is necessary to build, it is better to build it all at once, and save money to push the reconstruction later.

Gu Qing said immediately: "Auntie Lizheng, I want to buy a piece of land. Auntie Lizheng will measure for me the wasteland at the foot of Dadong Mountain. I will buy it today."

Li Zheng nodded.

No matter who has money, the first thought is to buy land. This is the habitual thinking of the villagers, and it is reasonable.

Others in the village also felt that they had to buy land. If they had money, they would not be able to think about other fancy things.

Li was taking people to measure the land, and Mo Li went with him, and Gu Qing and the others went home and waited.

As soon as she got home, Gu Qing immediately opened the mall.

[Darling, can you design a house? 】
