Peerless pastoral little green plum

Chapter 214 Is there a carpenter in your village?
Squire Lin is over 40 years old, with a fat head and a round belly, which is particularly conspicuous among a group of thin villagers.

He came this time mainly to discuss the establishment of the school with the village chief, so he discussed with the village chief while walking.

Squire Lin asked: "I asked you to clean up the former girls' school the other day. Have you cleaned it?"

"Of course, the weeds are all cleaned up, I'll take you there," the village head attached great importance to this matter, and he also thought that the old governor would come in person, so he arranged for someone to clean it carefully the day before pass.

The old school is not far from the sun-drying field, just a short walk away.

The signboard of the former "Shihua Girls' School" was demolished, and the moss and vines that were densely covered on the walls were also cleaned. The house was swept inside and out, and it looked clean.

Squire Lin glanced over, frowned and shook his head and said: "Your place is too crude, since the old mansion governor arranged for the reconstruction, it must be built on a large scale, highlighting the old manor governor's style, at least it must be built well. It’s the same as the school in the town. You renovate all the walls, replace all the tiles, and build two more rooms in the backyard for the teachers to live in. You don’t have to worry about the money, the money funded by the old governor is all there Here I am, you settle the bill, and just ask me to reimburse you later."

"Okay, I must follow the squire's instructions," the village head said with a respectful smile: "Actually, after I received the task, I found all the craftsmen. Our village has very capable masons. Da Zhuang, come here and let Squire Lin Look at you."

The village head turned to look for Da Zhuang.

In the crowd, Da Zhuang took a while to come out shyly.

Squire Lin knew that country people were like this, and he was afraid of strangers, so he didn't talk too much. He just asked, "Isn't it big? According to the plan I just mentioned, you can estimate the price, and you won't let you do it for nothing."

"Renovate the wall... change, replace the tiles, and build two more houses, it will cost 30 taels of silver." Standing in front of the squire, Uncle Da Zhuang looked very stiff, holding back a word for a long time, and always hiding behind.

"Squire Lin, Da Zhuang is an honest man, haha," the village chief explained to the squire with a smile, but in the blink of an eye, he glared at Da Zhuang: "What are you afraid of? I'm not a high-ranking official. If I can eat you, I won't succeed!"

Da Zhuang was also wronged, obviously the village chief said the day before that he would be beheaded if he didn't do well, otherwise he wouldn't be speechless.

The squire pondered again, then looked at the desks inside and said, "All the desks and chairs should be new. Is there a carpenter in your village?"

"This... I didn't think of this step. I thought I'd fix the house first and then think about the desks," the village head said while thinking. There are a few carpenters in the village, but they are all half-level. Okay, I don't know if it will work if I want to make a desk.

At this time, someone in the crowd shouted: "Look for flowers, aren't flowers good at carpentry? Recently, they recruited a few apprentices, and there are quite a few of them."

Yao Huahua hasn't left yet, she has been dragged by the big girl to watch the fun, now when someone recommends Yao Huahua, the big girl immediately pushes Yao Huahua to the front: "Here, Hua'er is here!"

Yao Huahua: "..."

The big girl was too strong, and she was pushed in front of the squire at once, and she almost didn't collide with the squire.

"Are you a carpenter?" The squire looked at Yao Huahua and asked. He didn't expect to be a girl at such a young age.

Yao Huahua was not shy. Seeing the suspicious look in the squire's eyes, she immediately smiled and responded generously, "That's right!"
