Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 243 Revisiting the Zhou Mansion
From the second day onwards, a small carpentry team of five people began to station in the back garden, tinkling and busy.Several children heard that the wooden houses built by these masters were for them to live in. Although they were puzzled in their hearts, why they lived in wooden houses because they couldn't live in a good yard, they were still very happy.Especially the two naughty boys, greeted the two brothers, waved their hands generously, and sent people to bring back some frozen ice bricks mixed with fruit juice syrup and well water to the masters every day, which was cool and thirst-quenching. The masters are full of praise for the benevolence and righteousness of the master.

The small shops of several children are becoming more and more prosperous, and Mu Ai is not idle, leading a few maidservants to buy cotton and cloth, and according to the size of the wooden house, they make thick mattresses, cushions and other fabric items, and occasionally During the break, I went to the kitchen and continued to study and eat.If you come across something that smells fresh and not greasy, send some to Liniang or Weifu.

After three days in a row, Liniang was not polite and ate very happily.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Wei family also said that Mu Ai lives in the city, and they are all blessed with food.

On the fourth day, the construction of the wooden house was completed, and Mu Wu paid the masters, and each gave a box of candy and snacks, which was regarded as welfare, and indirectly promoted Qiweiju. .

Mu Ai took a few maids and began to arrange two wooden houses. In the first one, the left and right bedrooms were made of simple wooden beds, wardrobes and some small decorations. There are all kinds of soft chairs and couches.The second wooden house is relatively simple, more oriented and practical. The wooden bed in the bedroom is made in the style of a big kang. It is not a problem to sleep four or five people in each room, but the bedding and utensils are also complete.

After dinner in the evening, Muai and Ouyang took a closer look together, and after confirming that the wooden fence on the window can block the impact of the beast's gravity, and the fine window screen can also separate the smallest mosquitoes, they carefully opened the window. The two log cabins are incorporated into the storage space.So far, the first arrangement on the holy mountain has been completed. In autumn, just bring some food, clothing, and living utensils so that the children can live comfortably for a while.

On this day, Mu Ai thought of her ideal country villa, so she carefully drew a big picture according to the picture, and explained how many people would look after the house at the spring equinox, then changed into men's clothes, and carried a box of cold cakes and candies , and went out with Ouyang to visit Mr. Zhou.

The two of them slowly basked in the morning sun that hadn't become too harsh, and the slightly hot wind was blowing, but they walked to the south of the city in less than half an hour, near the small courtyard of Mr. Wang, Mu Ai was a little thirsty, I thought She wanted to drink a bowl of herbal tea at the tea stall at the street corner, but it was a pity that she was five meters away, and when she heard a person coughing and spitting, she immediately turned around.

Ouyang smiled dotingly, and accompanied her straight to Zhou Mansion.

This woman is good at serving everything on weekdays, only food is extremely delicate, and she can't tolerate dirt at all.It has been several months since the killing with extreme hatred, and I can barely eat some meat, but all porridge, soup and side dishes must be clear and refreshing before they are willing to eat.Being so picky, and clamoring to wander the rivers and lakes with him, eating and sleeping in the open all the way, how can you pay attention to these things, but thinking of her weird methods, she can take out a good right hand anytime and anywhere, he feels that this is a bit worrying superfluous.

Ouyang knocked on the door, and a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy opened the door. He looked at the two of them curiously, and asked with a smile, "Are you two guests?"

Mu Aixi, who was handsome in spirit, said without waiting for Ouyang's answer, "My little brother, help me to inform Mr. Zhou that Mr. Mu at the foot of Shenshan is coming to visit."

The little boy blinked suspiciously, responded, turned around, closed the door and ran inside.In less than a moment, the door suddenly opened again, and the butler Zhou came out with a smile on his face, and bowed his hands as he walked, "Immortal...no, how come Mr. Mu is free today, my master was still talking about you a few days ago , I just heard that you are coming, and told me to come out to meet you."

"The housekeeper is polite. I have a lot of trivial matters today and I have been busy. If I have free time today, I will come to see the old man." Mu Ai smiled and returned a half bow, and walked into the courtyard while talking and laughing with the housekeeper Zhou.

Mr. Zhou was smiling and stroking his gray beard, standing at the entrance of the hall and looking around.Seeing Mu Ai in men's attire, Mr. Wen Run turned around the screen and walked in, smiling, "You girl still know how to come and see me, old man."

Mu Ai saluted with a smile, and retorted, "The old man said this against his will. Although I don't come here often, I send you my delicious food a lot."

The old man laughed, "You girl, you are still so sharp-tongued. Come on, come in quickly, the weather is hot, why don't you take a carriage?"

Mu Ai was also polite, followed the old man into the hall, and directly pulled Ouyang to sit in the guest seat.He said with a smile, "Grandpa, give me a cup of tea, I'm so thirsty!"

Housekeeper Zhou had already prepared it, and was bringing in the tea tray himself. Hearing what she said, he quickly picked up the cups, poured a cup for Mu Ai and Ouyang, and watched her drink it in one gulp. She didn't think she looked like a woman , On the contrary, I feel so refreshed.He hurried forward and filled her up again before stepping aside.

Mu Ai took the two wooden boxes on the table and said with a smile, "Old man, I have researched some delicious food in the past few days, and I specially bring them here for you to taste."

The old man motioned to Housekeeper Zhou to pick it up, and then said with a smile, "It's pretty much the same. I haven't seen you girl for a few months. But don't lie to me, old man. Bar."

Mu Ai knew that the old man was brilliant, and she didn't think it was embarrassing to be exposed. She and this old man had forgotten their friendship. When they built the yard, they often quarreled because of disagreements. However, she still admired the old man's professionalism very much. She is old, and sometimes she has to measure the corner of a canal by herself, which is really admirable to her. Therefore, even though the yard has been built for more than a year, she still has not broken contact, and she just treats this old man as an elder.

"Oh, the old man's eyes are as bright as a torch, how could he guess that I came to the door because of something to ask for, but this time, although I have to trouble the old man to build a house again, I can guarantee that you will appreciate my house Interest." Mu Ai said very firmly, which aroused the interest of the old man. He has been immersed in the fun of construction all his life, not to mention that he has built countless houses, but there are a hundred or eighty of them. I've seen it all.If others told him so, he might not believe it, but Mu Ai said, he believed it 100%, after all, the quadrangle paved with geothermal heat changed his construction thinking.

At the moment, he didn't drink tea any more, and hurriedly urged Mu Ai to say, "Oh, what a strange house, show it out for me to have a look."

Mu Ai didn't talk too much, just took out the picture, handed it to the old man with both hands, and then watched him frowned, turned around and talked with the housekeeper Zhou while drinking tea, chatting with the housekeeper while waiting the old man asked.

Sure enough, after a while, the old man caught her and began to ask her in a row, what kind of wood to use, what is the stone chimney on the front for, the layout of the frame inside, and asked everything in detail before pointing out. Those few glass windows, asked solemnly, "Girl, what is this? Is it polished glass that is extremely thin? Why doesn't it look like it to me?"

Mu Ai turned her mind, and said with a smile, "Old man, this thing is called glass. I got it from other places occasionally. There are only a few pieces. It looks bright and transparent. It should be very suitable to install on the window." .Because it's too expensive, I can't rest assured that I will hand it over to someone with poor craftsmanship, so I came to ask the old man to help."

Mr. Zhou lowered his eyes to hide the surprise in his eyes. Since he met this little girl, she has always given him a mysterious feeling. He has lived for almost 70 years. He has never seen any kind of person, but like her In this way, as long as you make a move, it is a rare thing, and this is the first time I have seen it.

The house in the picture is really a style that he has never built for many years. He actually built the chimney in front of the house, and the fire was lit in the hall.And the window is inlaid with this absolutely precious transparent glass. Just think about what it will look like after it is completed. In summer, you can sit in the house to enjoy the rain and snow, and in winter you can sit in the hall and read a book while warming the fire. He couldn't help the excitement in his heart.

It may not be the most luxurious house, but it must be the most exquisite and magical house, and such a house will come from him...

Mr. Zhou happily put away the few blueprints in his hand, nodded, and said, "Okay, girl, I'll take over this job. When are you going to start?"

Mu Ai waved his hand quickly, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, old man. Such a big house needs space to build it. So, I plan to start construction after the harvest in the autumn, so I still have plenty of time."

Mr. Zhou picked up the hot tea newly added by the butler, took a sip slowly, and said, "It's okay if you don't rush, I just happened to study the drawings more. The structure of this house is a bit special."

Mu Ai suddenly remembered an important condition, and quickly asked, "By the way, old man, I have an idea, do you think it can be realized?"

"Tell me."

"Most of this house is a pure wooden structure. If you don't lay a foundation, you can build the house so that it can be moved as a whole when needed. Do you think it is possible?"

"Moving as a whole?" The old man put down the teacup in surprise, and frowned, "What do you think, whose house can be moved casually, if the foundation is not laid, will the house be strong, and it will shake when there is a strong wind. "

Mu Ai smiled helplessly, "Grandpa, I know all this, but I just want to make it moveable. As for the stability, can you build the house on wooden boards, and when the time comes, drag the wooden boards to move it?" For the house, the surrounding boards should be repaired so that they can be nailed into wooden piles to fix them. In that case, it should be more stable."
