Chapter 31

The tone of Lin Xiu's words made Zhao Guo'er raise her head and glance at her with a half-smile.

If she didn't want to pay more attention to her, Zhao Guo'er turned her eyes away to look at other people.Aside from Lin Xiu and Wan Caiyue's faces, except for disbelief or disbelief, everyone else's faces were full of half-belief.

When Zhao Guoer thought about it, she immediately knew that she could gain half of their trust, probably because she really turned the sewage into clean water yesterday.

She then smiled, knowing that with that foundation of trust, at least they would have the patience to listen to what she had to say.

That's enough.

Zhao Guo'er then began to explain in detail: "It's actually not difficult at all. Just move the current hut outside the house and replace it with a big tank. Then dig a hole from the hut I selected. High to low, sloping small ditches, use bluestone slabs... tiles or porcelain tiles are more suitable. Well, the smoother things are better, and porcelain tiles are more suitable to be paved all the way. The last small The top of the ditch is covered with bluestone slabs...so that every time the hut is used up, just take a spoonful of water and rinse it, and the hut will naturally be clean, and there will be no smell at all."

"...This method works, but it costs a lot of money."

What was originally thought to be impossible was explained carefully by Zhao Guoer.Everyone was stunned, and then thought of the small ditch she said had to be laid with smooth tiles, and couldn't help shaking their heads again.

Fee silver?

Thinking of the 20 taels of silver that I heard before, it is enough to build a new house.

Zhao Guoer thought to herself that the hut she wanted would cost no more than ten taels of silver, no, five taels of silver should be enough.

It is still very cost-effective to exchange five taels of silver for a better quality of life than 01:30.

She calculated in her heart like this, looked at Tian Changxing and asked, "Grandpa patriarch, how much money will we get if we buy this house?"

"16 taels is enough." Tian Changxing smiled slightly.

"Ten taels?"

Except for Zhao Guoer, everyone else was taken aback and looked at Tian Changxing in disbelief.

"That's right, it's 16 taels."

Tian Changxing nodded, and explained to Zhao Guoer, who had a somewhat dazed expression, with certainty: "The main reason is that the land is expensive. If you buy it, the bamboo forest behind this house will also be yours. As for the house itself, although it looks solid, it is After all, it’s been a long time. The clan only counts two or three taels of silver at random.”

So, this can be regarded as one of the benefits given to him by the Tian family?

Only then did Zhao Guoer suddenly realize from the surprise at how cheap it was.

She looked at Tian Changxing, not only a little embarrassed, but also worried that people would be jealous and said: "Grandpa patriarch, you gave enough money before, and now you add this house. Here, How bad? You should add more."

"Nothing bad."

How could Tian Changxing fail to see Zhao Guoer's worry?

He laughed: "If you give this price to others, it will be difficult for you. But it's different if you give it to you. Don't worry, no one will say anything about this matter. In fact, even if this house is given away to you for nothing, no one can say it." What, besides, the money was collected."

Oh, since that's the case, then she just accepted it with a smile.

Thinking that the words made sense, Zhao Guoer responded with a smile: "Grandpa patriarch, then my mother and I will not be polite. Originally, I was going to find you tomorrow, but now I have to go with my mother tomorrow." Buy some useful things. How about you accompany me to the mountain to find something later, and then I will go with you first?"

"So much the better."

Seeing that Zhao Guo'er was so knowledgeable and didn't delay the major events of the sugar workshop, Tian Changxing only felt that his two successive outreaches after returning to the village were not in vain.

He was very happy, and immediately responded: "I think you have already identified the place you want right now. We will go to the county government office together tomorrow, so that we can exchange the house deeds for you. I happened to invite the government office along the way." The yamen servants came to measure the homestead for you."

"Uh-huh."

Such an arrangement is very good.Tomorrow, she and her mother will have a free ride, and it doesn't count, and the real estate deed will be confirmed.

Zhao Guoer nodded happily.

The two of them going back and forth like this are like playing charades.Except for themselves and Tian Funiang and Tian Yougen who knew the inside story.What other people saw and heard was all confused and completely confused.

Of course Zhao Guoer and Tian Changxing would not explain anything to them, they both ignored everyone's curious gazes by coincidence.Even Tian Funiang and Tian Yougen pretended not to know anything when they noticed other people's curious eyes.

"Grandfather, do you think five liang of silver is enough to build a hut according to my method?"

Buying a house only costs 16 taels of silver, plus a new homestead, leaving 20 taels of silver should be enough.

As for the money for building a house on the purchased homestead, don't worry, we can talk about it later.At the moment, they only need to add the reserved 20 taels to buy some necessary furniture, supplies and utensils, as well as money for rice, oil and salt.

Zhao Guoer made a rough calculation and found that even five taels of silver were not enough, and ten taels was needed.It's no problem for her to get this non-stinky hut that she wants.

"Where can I use five taels of silver? One tael is more, even two taels of silver is enough."

Tian Yougen was wondering in his heart whether the patriarch valued his granddaughter too much.Hearing Zhao Guoer's question suddenly, he quickly shook his head: "But tiles are easy to get, porcelain tiles are expensive, I'm afraid we have to make an appointment."

"I still have to make a reservation? How long will it take?" Zhao Guoer was a little disappointed when she heard that.

"It's hard to say. Seven or eight days is fast. If it's late, it may be ten and a half months, or even a month. After all, you don't use it much, so it's not worth burning a kiln alone. You have to wait and see when others will burn it." It's a new kiln."

Tian Yougen saw Zhao Guoer's eyes widen as he listened, and couldn't help but want to laugh.He thought for a while and suggested, "Why don't we take out the broken clay pot and try it? Although it's not as slippery as porcelain, it should be usable."

Yes, clay pots.Aren't clay pots with broken bottoms connected like pipes?The effect of burying in the ground to seal and deodorize is even better.

"Then use clay pots with broken bottoms. Those pots are actually more suitable than porcelain tiles." Zhao Guoer's eyes lit up for a moment, and then he became a little worried, "Why are there so many pots with broken bottoms?" What about the clay pots for us?"

Don't make her wait again?

"How not?"

Tian Yougen couldn't be happier that his suggestion was approved by this granddaughter who even the patriarch thought was extraordinarily intelligent.Laughing for a while, even the corners of his mouth could not be closed and he said: "There is a kiln-making workshop in the village next door, and there are a lot of pottery pots and bowls that have been burned over the years, and they are piled up in one place. When we went to buy bricks and tiles from them, we asked them to send some burnt clay pots along the way, and they didn’t need to pay a penny, and they would pick the right ones for us.”

 happy New Year!May the new year, everyone be able to tide over the difficulties together.
