The black-bellied prince: the little princess of the chef

Chapter 83 Raising money to repair the house 1
Because of the heavy rain and leaks, Ye Qing has been talking about repairing the house first, so there is a priority, the matter of hiring people to dig the pond and buying a donkey can only be put aside first.

The silver in Ye Qing's hands is only forty taels, and his parents only have a few copper coins, even with Zhang Xiu's income from selling embroidered handkerchiefs, it is only 50 taels of silver.She wants to repair a brick house, and the matter of raising money is very serious.

People in Upper Village of Pingle Village live relatively well-off, because young people like teenagers basically go to work in the city, and naturally earn much more money than farmers, and 70.00% of them have built brick houses.

People in Xiacun also have good conditions, such as Liandong's family and Chen Shi's family, but there are more poor ones, whose life can only be regarded as passable, but Ye Laosan's family and widow Liu Wuniang's family are the most impoverished.

It's not that Ye Pingrong's family is lazy and doesn't want to get rich, it's because his parents and two sister-in-laws are too fierce, they go to the Three Treasure Hall for everything, and they steal it openly and secretly.As long as they liked it, they didn't let it go.

Ye Qing told his parents and elder brother about repairing the house first. They have experienced the nightmare of "heavy rain outside and light rain inside" again these days. They agree with Ye Qing's proposal, but there is still a question: where does the money come from? come?
For this reason, the family began to worry again!
"Qingqing, the bricks and tiles in brick kilns and tile kilns are very expensive. Counting the labor costs of construction, a house costs 40 taels of silver. The little money in our house... Besides, you earned the money , is your future dowry..."

Ye Qing listened to Xu's thoughts, and quickly stopped her, "What do you and I divide our family's money? Although it is expensive to repair a brick and tile house, it can shelter from the wind and rain, and a house is worth a few dozen taels of silver." Understand."

"Qingqing is right. We will only make this life as good as possible, and we won't make it worse. We will always find a way to settle the money." Ye Junbei agrees with Ye Qing's words, we must repair the house first.

Ye Qing murmured in his heart, assuming that a house costs 30 taels of silver, they need to repair at least five bedrooms, in addition to the necessary four, there must also be a guest room.

In addition to the bedrooms, there are halls, kitchens, toilets, and bathhouses, and the yard is paved with blue stones to facilitate the drying of food in the future.With such a simple calculation, I dare not start construction without 300 taels of silver.

300 taels of silver is an astronomical figure for their family now!
But, this house must be repaired!

Ye Qing made a decision in his heart, and said to Ye Junbei: "Brother, you and Dad go to the brick kiln and tile kiln to ask the price first, and I will find a way to raise money. Our family not only needs to repair the house, but also build a spacious and clean big house." house!"

Ye Junbei wanted to ask her where to buy it, but Ye Pingrong stopped him immediately and said, "Anyway, there is nothing to do today, let's go and ask your Uncle Cao's house where you bought the bricks and tiles, and see if it can be cheaper."

After saying that, he took his empty cigarette bag and went straight out the door.

Seeing his father leaving, Ye Junbei quickly raised his feet to catch up, and after walking a certain distance, he said: "Father, Qingqing is a girl, where can I get so much money?"

Ye Pingrong sighed, and said with a sigh of relief: "Since she dares to speak out, she has a way to solve it. We can only do other things well and let her worry less!"

"what?"

Ye Junbei opened his eyes wide and looked at Ye Pingrong and the back of his head, a little in disbelief.

Ye Qing was at home thinking about how much money he could share with Boss Xiong for the first half month, and then he would ask him to borrow some money. According to the current partnership between the two, Boss Xiong would probably not refuse.

Since you don't need to worry too much about the money, you should quickly ask someone to look at the foundation and the date, and then make an appointment with the workers who will repair the house.

Ye Pingrong and Ye Junbei came back not long after, and told Ye Qing everything they asked.

Ye Qing didn't tell Cao Zhengde the first thing he cared about, this matter must not be spread to the outside world, otherwise a few living ancestors of their family would come and snatch everything away!

"Qingqing, what are you afraid of them doing? If they really come to snatch this time, I'll beat them out!"

When Ye Junbei thought of the faces of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he geared up as if to make a move.

Ye Qing shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother, no matter how wrong they are, they are still elders. If you act rashly, others will gossip when they see it."

Ye Pingrong agreed with Ye Qing's words very much. He was just about to praise Ye Qing, but he heard Ye Qing say: "In order not to lose the truth, we must first try our best to hide from outsiders that we need to repair the house. If they come to find fault in the future, they will definitely grab the things first , Do it first, then it will not be too late for us to do it again!"

The corners of Ye Pingrong's eyes twitched, and he thought to himself: These two little bastards are indeed born from the same mother's womb, neither of them is a fuel-efficient lamp!
Ye Junbei laughed loudly, clapped his hands and said, "Well said, well said!"

So, he ran to Cao's house again!
There is no good embryonic soil in Pingle Village, and no one builds brick kilns and tile kilns in the village. The bricks and tiles of Cao's family are all brought back from Rong County, where Wang Fang's mother's family lived.Therefore, the distance is a bit long, and they have to buy a lot of bricks and tiles, and then they have to hire a bullock cart to go to Lin County to pull them back.

In the weather in May and June, there is a lot of rain, and the soil and mud for drying bricks are not easy to dry, which delays the progress of brick firing.In addition, during the busy farming season, workers have to go home in shifts to harvest crops, and the output of fired bricks has dropped again.Therefore, repairing a house at this time is more expensive than repairing a house a year ago!

Xu's heart aches for money, but Ye Qing doesn't particularly care about it, as long as he can live in a clean and spacious brick house, it's worth the price!

"Girl, why don't we repair it later?"

Ye Pingrong was actually also worried that Ye Qing, a little girl, would bear too much for the family, and she would eventually marry another wife, so he didn't want his daughter to be too tired, and he didn't want her to pay too much for the family.

"Father, mother, take a look at our house. If it rains a few more times, the roof may collapse. Let alone people living there, there will be nowhere to hide from the rain!"

Although what she said was exaggerated, but this method is very good, Xu Shi and Ye Pingrong are silent!

This thatched house is what Tian and the others took Ye Pingrong's money to repair the brick house, and they lived in it for more than ten years. How can it be strong?After all these years of tinkering, it's time to retire!
Ye Qing told about half a month's share of income and borrowing money from Boss Xiong, although he didn't want to worry his parents, brother and sister-in-law, but since it is a family, there is nothing to hide.It's just that Mrs. Xu wept secretly, they owed their children too much!
Early the next morning, Ye Pingrong and Ye Junbei set off to Rongxian County to inquire about the price of bricks and tiles, hoping to buy them in stock!

After you, Ye Qing, finished the housework and fried the snails, when the second brother came to pick up the goods, you took Wu Yan who was going to the city with you, and went into the city together in a carriage!

　I finally plan to repair the house, the author is really afraid that Qingqing will be washed away by the flood!
