Chapter 38 Booking to build a house

"How about increasing the number of ice creams to 50 per day, and increasing the number to 100 bowls per day?" Shopkeeper Zhou pondered.

The weather has been getting hotter and hotter in recent days, and more and more people are coming to the restaurant to buy ice cream. Even some noble families who don't often come to the restaurant to eat have sent their servants to the restaurant to buy ice cream. They buy more than ten bowls of ice cream. , fifty bowls is not enough to sell!
  "Okay, I'll deliver it to you tomorrow." Jiang Wei agreed.

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoxiao gave her mother a strange look. Fifty ice creams and a hundred bowls of ice cream were quite a lot. Just making them would take a whole day.

Is her mother in urgent need of money now?
  But wasn't it the wild stag that was sold before? It cost more than 170 taels of silver. Could it be that it has been used up?

Jiang Xiaoxiao felt very confused, but soon her doubts were cleared.

After leaving Yuelai Restaurant, Jiang Wei did not go to the original street to sell ice cream. Instead, he led Jiang Xiaoxiao to the carpenter's shop.

"Boss, how much does one of your blue brick tiles cost?" Jiang Wei asked directly the price of the green bricks and tiles needed to build a large blue brick house.

"Seven cents a piece."

so expensive? !

Jiang Xiaoxiao was speechless.

Just a piece of blue brick and tile costs seven cents, so building a large blue brick house with tiles will cost at least one hundred taels of silver!

Not to mention that after building a house, you still need to find someone to make furniture, such as wardrobes, kang tables, square tables, benches, cabinets, warehouse cabinets, etc...

No wonder every household in the village has a mud house or a cheaper thatched house.

The villagers only need two taels of silver to build four or five mud houses. If they build a thatched house, it costs almost nothing. All they have to do is ask the villagers to help them build it. After the house is built, everyone will be treated to a meal.

To build a large house with blue bricks and tiles, you need to find specialized masons and hire short-term workers to help, which costs a lot of money.

Jiang Wei thought for a moment and began to gesture with his hands about the house he wanted to build.

When the carpenter shop owner saw that she was not joking, but really wanted to build a house, he quickly called his apprentice to find paper and pen and ink.

Jiang Wei took the pen, dipped some ink in it, and began to draw a rough outline of the house on the paper.

Jiang Xiaoxiao stood on the side and watched without blinking, but felt ashamed in her heart. It seemed that her mother not only wanted to build a house with blue bricks and large tiles, but also a large building like that!
  And according to the area planned by her mother, it might not even cost one hundred taels of silver to build this large brick house with tiles...

Is this really good?

Jiang Xiaoxiao was a little worried. No family in the village had built a house with large blue bricks and tiles. Even the rich families in the town built ordinary houses with stone bricks and tiles.

Although ordinary stone brick and tile houses are not as good as blue brick and large tile houses, the price is much cheaper, sixty taels is enough.

What if her family builds such a big blue brick house and the people in the village become jealous...

Forget it, if they dare to cause trouble then, she will use the electric baton given by her mother to knock them out!
  Finally, after some discussion, Jiang Wei and the carpenter shop owner decided on the materials needed to build a house.

The carpenter boss shook his head while holding the drawings and sighed: "I haven't received such a big order for a long time, but don't worry, I will ask my master to come forward when the time comes. My master used to help those dignitaries build their houses and mansions in the capital. He has rich experience and can guarantee it." I’ll help you cover it to your satisfaction.”

With that said, he put down the drawing and said, "However, the house you are building is too big and requires a lot of materials. We have all the people to prepare it. It will take at least two months to prepare it."

Jiang Wei calculated the time. If he covered it after two months, he could cover it before winter, so he nodded and said "ok".

After saying that, she paid a deposit of fifty taels. Seeing Jiang Wei easily take out fifty taels as a deposit, Jiang Xiaoxiao's heart was bleeding. How many ice creams and ice creams would he have to sell to earn back...

But think about it, if even a brick-and-tile house is so expensive, then the fine houses and mansions where the nobles in the capital live would cost thousands of taels of silver, right?
  After leaving the carpenter's shop, Jiang Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

The matter that has been on my mind has finally been solved, and now I can make money with peace of mind.

The ten years she lived in the apocalypse in her previous life had made her develop a habit. No matter how she ate, the place she lived must be the best, indestructible and unbreakable!

A home that can withstand all disasters.

Therefore, even if she knew that building a large brick house would make the villagers jealous and even cause a lot of trouble for herself, she was not afraid.

After settling the house matter, the mother and daughter continued to set up a stall selling ice cream at the street corner.

They went a little later than usual today. There were already many people waiting there, and there was a long queue at the street corner.

When one of the women saw the mother and daughter, she came up impatiently: "Oh, you mother and son are here! I've been waiting here for most of the day. If you don't come, I almost thought you wouldn't sell ice cream today. It’s over.”

While talking, he came over to help Jiang Wei hold up the umbrella.

Jiang Xiaoxiao picked out a big ice cream from the freezer and handed it to her: "Auntie, here it is."

"Oh, my little grandson likes your ice cream the most!" The woman didn't expect to buy the first ice cream just by helping her. She laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth and paid for it happily.

When the people behind saw this, they secretly made a note that they should be more diligent in the future, help out, and maybe buy some more ice cream.

Today's hundred ice creams were still sold out quickly.

People who didn't buy ice cream could only disperse helplessly, muttering that they had to come early to queue up tomorrow.

Jiang Xiaoxiao packed her money bag and calculated the total money she earned today. Shopkeeper Zhou earned 550 yuan from the fifty ice creams and ten ice creams she sold at the street corner, plus the hundred ice creams sold here at the street entrance. , a total of more than one tael of silver.

not bad.

Shopkeeper Zhou's money will be doubled tomorrow, and he will only make more money than today.

If this continues, the money spent on building a house should be earned back soon.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was thinking happily when a person suddenly walked over from across the street.

Jiang Wei was still packing the freezer and said without raising his head: "Sorry, the ice cream is sold out. Come back tomorrow."

The man did not leave, but looked at the mother and daughter's clothes with disgust: "Are you the ice cream seller?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao raised his head when he heard this. This man was wearing a valuable satin gown, and was accompanied by a young man dressed as a servant.

"I am the shopkeeper of Zuixianju Restaurant in the county. My surname is Jia. You can call me shopkeeper Jia." The man said in a calm voice, but he had a condescending look on his face.

"What's the matter with you?" Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't like this man's behavior, but still asked politely.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, the shopkeeper Jia scolded her: "Sir, what are you, a girl, saying in this movie?"
