Chapter 75

Hearing that a meal must be provided, Song Shan also said no, because people outside would not give food to people looking for house builders, let alone people from their own clan!Working in my own village, I can go home after finishing the work, and it is one copper coin higher than other places. How can I eat the food of the master's house again!

But Yi Ren insisted, and finally Song Shan and Song Ting let her go.

In the end, it was decided to find someone tomorrow and start work the next day. Yiren told Song Ting that he would borrow the stove from his house during this period. Song Ting readily agreed, and they went home immediately.

On the way home, Song Shan said casually, "What's wrong with Song Ting? He's so interested in that kang!"

Qiu Shi smiled: "Didn't the head of the family see it?"

Song Shanben said it casually, but he didn't expect his young daughter-in-law to really know?Quickly asked: "Did you see it?"

"If it works, this is Songjiazhuang, it's Huixi's only craftsmanship! Why don't you worry about not having a job?"

After the daughter-in-law talked about it, Song Shan also understood, and secretly made up his mind: this matter needs more attention!
After returning home and lying on the bed, Song Shan was still thinking about the candidate to build a house for Yiren this time. Originally, he chose his eldest son, who could be close to home and earn money. My son can also earn some money.But if it was what Qiu said, he would have to reconsider.
On the second day, Yiren went to sell moituan as usual, and Aunt Li went to deliver mountain goods, and went to the pier to set up a cake stall.Now the business at both ends is very stable, so the two came back very early.

When Yiren arrived home, he saw that the gate of the yard was wide open, and many people from the village came in and out in an orderly manner, some were measuring distance with ropes, and some were discussing something together in three or two.

It turned out that Song Shan and Song Ting had booked the house builder today, and when they saw Yiren and Aunt Li come back, Song Shan and Song Ting came forward.

"Yiren, take a look." Song Ting handed over a piece of yellow paper, on which was the deed of building a house. "There are ten people doing the work. They are all from our village. You are familiar with them. Each person has six copper coins per day, one meal, and the settlement is calculated on a daily basis."

Song Shan made a straight face again, and raised his voice: "If you can't do it today, procrastinate, and settle today's money, you won't spend it tomorrow!" This is not only for Yiren, but also for other workers People listen.

Yi Ren took it over, looked at the names carefully, and found that there was no Song Shan's eldest son Song Dazhong in it, so he couldn't help asking: "Uncle Clan, isn't Dazhong coming?"

"He doesn't have time recently!" Song Shan said embarrassedly that he was afraid that his son would steal and play tricks, and he didn't know whether it was a disgrace to his son or a disgrace to himself as an old man.

Yi Ren saw Song Shan's concerns and didn't ask any more questions.

Song Ting continued: "Manpower plus food costs about one and a half taels of silver, which is enough no matter what, and as for materials, because you want kiln bricks, you have to go to Lingzhou to buy them, which is expensive. The first is the kiln bricks. It’s expensive, and on the other hand, you need some money to bring it back!”

The deed was written by Song Shan. Although Song Shan was not a student, his father taught him that his handwriting was really good.

"How much money would it cost?" Yi Ren asked.

"One or two and a half labor, the material may have to be about ten taels, a total of eleven measures of silver!" Song Tingmo said.

"Okay! Thank you Tingbo and Uncle Clan!" Yi Ren's eyes were squinted, knowing that the two elders were helpful, and the price was much lower than what she had heard before, and it was kiln bricks.

Song Shan said again: "Besides, if you are in the catering business, you must use water. You are a woman, so it is inconvenient to carry water all day long. If you have rich money, you can also dig a well!"

"Yes, Uncle Clan, let me think about it." Yi Ren replied, but he really had no intention of digging a well.

In her previous life, she studied agriculture, and looking at the sky and the earth was naturally one of her compulsory courses. Looking at the weather, let alone digging a well at home, whether the stream in front of the forest can keep flowing water is a matter.Well drilling skills are poor and expensive in this day and age, so she doesn't need to spend that much money.

If one day the drought passes, it will not be too late to dig a well.

Song Shan was in charge of Zhang Luoren, but Song Ting, a "professional", brought his eldest son Yuan Bao to do the entire construction process.So Yi Ren roughly calculated the money needed to build the house, and handed over the four taels of money to Song Ting.

Although it was agreed to start work tomorrow, the people in the yard did not leave today. According to Yi Ren's instructions, the planning was planned, the survey was measured, and the soil was dug.

Yiren beckoned to Sanmao: "Sanmao, don't go into the mountains this afternoon, take the money and run an errand for my sister! Go to the town and buy three catties of meat from the butcher's lady."

"Ah?" San Mao was a little taken aback, three catties of meat?Who buys three catties of meat?

"Go! Today's wages will still be settled with you, don't worry!"

Sanmao took the money dubiously, bought meat from the butcher shop, and handed it back to Yi Ren. Yi Ren was not angry, so he was sure that he had heard correctly, that he was indeed asking him to buy three catties of meat.

"Everyone, eat at home tonight. I'll cook, so don't leave. There's meat!" Yi Ren held the meat and waved at the workers.

In the past, when I worked in other houses, I had to come to the site one day in advance to see the place, evaluate the workload, and do some work. There was no wages for half a day.These are unwritten rules in the industry. No one thinks that it is Song Shan, Song Ting, or Song Yiren who bullied them.

Everyone thought it would be good to be close to home and earn a lot, but they didn't expect to be able to eat meat first before they officially started working today!I can't help but speed up the work at hand, and the enthusiasm is even greater!
Needless to say, Yi Ren's craftsmanship, because there are many people and a large amount of food is needed, so she made stews.A pot of roasted pork with beans and long red sauce, a large pottery bowl of fried cabbage with lard, and thirty slices of green onion pancakes.

Before it was finished, everyone smelled the fragrance and kept stretching their necks to look at the stove, until Yiren said, "Everyone stop, let's eat!", and everyone quickly dropped their work, "Hula!" Gather around, the cutaway table at Yiren's house is definitely not big enough.

The workers each had a pottery bowl, picked some vegetables, or squatted, or sat scattered all over the yard.Sanmao and his children also ate the meat cheerfully, swallowing dates like little wolf cubs snatching food.

Ji Yuniang looked at the people in the courtyard, showing some discomfort.Yiren saw her and called her, Cuixi and Caixia into the house to eat.

Cuixi and Caixia didn't care, they grew up in the village, and these people were more or less related to their own families, so they ate carelessly.But Yuniang glanced at Yi Ren gratefully, and Yi Ren gave her a comforting look, turned around and went to the yard without saying anything more.

"Uncles and brothers, my house is being built today, thank you for not giving up and coming to work at my house!" Yi Ren stood in the yard and said loudly: "Today, it will be considered a good start!"
