The space farmer comes to farm

Chapter 49 Doors and Windows
There are several Taishi chairs, several small tables, two bookshelves, two desks, one Eight Immortals table for eating, and eight matching chairs.

In addition, there are large wooden barrels for bathing, wooden basins for washing face and feet, cabinets for the kitchen, and some small things, so I won’t explain them one by one here.

After Su Yu finalized all the furniture with Carpenter Wang, he asked Carpenter Wang to calculate how much money he would need.

Carpenter Wang clattered with the abacus for a while before finally saying to Su Yu, "88 taels of silver."

Su Yu was stunned, "How much?"

Carpenter Wang looked at Su Yu with disbelief, but he repeated, "According to your requirements, the wood should be of better quality. Adding in the wages, it's not too expensive."

After hearing Carpenter Wang's explanation, Su Yuzhang let out a long sigh of relief. The price was much cheaper than she had imagined.

Immediately, Su Yu took Carpenter Wang to go around the house under construction to determine the exact size.

Although the house is still under construction, the general outline has already been drawn, and the size of the room has been determined, so the size of the furniture can also be determined.

Su Yu gave Carpenter Wang 50 taels of silver as a deposit. After Carpenter Wang finished these things and delivered them, Su Yu would give him the rest of the money.

After sending Carpenter Wang away, Su Yu let go of one more thing, and felt a little better.

Next is the problem of doors and windows. The door is naturally a carved wooden door.

But for the windows, Su Yu wanted to use glazed ones, which is what was called glass in the previous life.

Su Yu has never understood this Great Qin Kingdom, not only has all kinds of food and vegetables from the previous life, but also water pipes and colored glaze shipped from overseas. According to Lu Youqi, now the Great Qin Kingdom has also mastered the art of making colored glaze. method, but it has not yet been mass-produced, and the price is relatively high.

But after thinking about it again and again, Su Yu still decided to use glazed windows, because it is much more convenient. If there is a window, once you close it, you can't see the outside, what is the difference between it and no window?
Half a month later, when Lu Youqi led the men to pull the last batch of watermelons, Su Yu told him about the use of glazed windows.

The last batch of watermelons was thirteen thousand catties, which is 190 fifty taels of silver.

When Lu Youqi handed the money to Su Yu, Su Yu didn't pick it up, but said, "I discussed it with Brother Jiang, we want to use glazed windows, and I want you to help set them up."

Lu Youqi smiled and said, "That's fine, I was going to tell you and the eldest brother that this glazed window is not only beautiful, but also very warm."

Su Yu said, "In this case, you can take the money and help with this matter."

Lu Youqi pondered for a while, then asked, "I don't know how much sister-in-law wants?"

Su Yu and Jiang Qi had discussed this matter a long time ago, so they said immediately, "Our house has 32 windows in total, and each window needs four pieces of colored glaze, and each piece of colored glaze costs two taels of silver, so the total is 250 six taels. The watermelon cost 190 taels of silver just now, and my sister-in-law will give you another 100 taels, including wages and the money for the window frame."

Hearing what Su Yu said so clearly, Lu Youqi couldn't help but smiled wryly, "Sister-in-law, why are you so clear with me? I'll keep the watermelon money, but I don't need the 100 taels."

After speaking, Lu Youqi handed back the purse that Su Yu handed over to Su Yu.

Su Yu immediately raised his face, "It's your fault, we are one size one size, if you do this again, your elder brother will not only blame me, but probably won't ask you for business in the future."

Seeing that Su Yu was really angry, Lu Youqi had no choice but to take the purse back, thinking to himself, he must get things done.

After the matter of the window was also resolved, Su Yu was really relieved now, and she was in her current state with nothing to worry about.

But the joy was only for a moment, when Su Yu looked at the completely empty money box, his brows were tightly knit together again.

There were 250 taels before, and it took 88 taels to make furniture. I just gave Lu Youqi another 100 taels, plus the rice, noodles, and vegetables for the last half month, plus the wages of the Wu family, and there were ten miscellaneous expenses. A few taels, so now there are less than 100 taels of silver left.

It is said that 100 taels of silver is really a lot. As long as the country people don't do any big things, they only need two or three taels of silver for a year.

But this is different for the three of Su Yu, because they haven't paid the craftsmen for their work, and there are still various things to buy. The 100 taels of silver is really not enough.

But fortunately, the ginseng planted in the space is growing well, and some space water is poured in from time to time, so the appearance is definitely good.

Looking at the construction of the new house, it will take about half a month to complete. Su Yu calculated the time silently. In half a month, nearly nine years will have passed in the space. These ginsengs were three years old when they were planted. Nine years, more than ten years.

When the time comes, two plants will be plucked and sold. It is estimated that they can be sold for a lot of money. No matter what, they will be able to relieve their urgent need.

In addition to the three entrance yards in the middle, the new house has a cross yard on the left and right sides of each entrance, but now it is just a large and empty yard, except for the yard wall, there are only weeds on the ground.

There are two rooms in the yard on the right side of the second entrance, one is the kitchen and the other is the woodshed.

There are also verandahs at the entrances of the two rooms, and they are connected to the verandah in front of the main room. This way, you don’t have to worry about rain or snow when you serve meals.

Because there are so many rooms, basically every room has a kang for heating in winter, but it is not possible to connect the kang to the stove for cooking like the people in the village. Su Yu asked the two old masters, and they gave great answer.

Because big families also use kangs, and their kang furnaces are usually located outside the room. Because the three sides of the earthen kang face the wall, you only need to choose a wall that is relatively easy to add firewood, leave a stoma under the wall, and then install an iron wall. The door will do.

Ten days later, all the houses were finally built, and the craftsmen smoothed the walls of the houses with white plaster. This work took two days.

At this time, the doors and windows were also delivered, and they were brought by Lu Youqi himself, but to Su Yu's helplessness, Lu Youqi made the upper part of each door similar to the windows, carved Hollowed out wooden boards, then inlaid with glaze.

With so many doors, two pieces of colored glaze on each door is a considerable expense.

Su Yu knew that he would definitely not take money if he was given it, so he didn't say it directly, but just pulled him towards the original yard, saying that he needed his help with something.
