The pastoral concubine of space

Chapter 22 Build a house!

"Then learn!" Xiao Yunchu waved his hand, and found out from the space that he didn't know where he got the elementary school enlightenment book. It was filled with some basic new characters and copybooks.

She also wants to hand them calligraphy according to the needs of the times, but unfortunately, her hardware conditions are not good, so she can only teach them to read first, and then consider going to school after the house is built and settled down completely... No, it is better to hire a gentleman with a high salary Correspondence, otherwise, in ancient times, sons were preferred to women, Zixi would have nothing to learn.

In the following days, apart from running every day, playing backgammon, checkers, and animal chess, and feeding the hens at home, the two children also had another task of practicing calligraphy. Every day was very fulfilling and busy.

Three days later, Village Chief Liu completed the land formalities and officially placed the three newly settled lands under her name. When he gave her the land deed, he also brought back someone who was said to be looking for her.

The visitor was very strange, and Xiao Yunchu didn't know him well. After asking, he found out that it was the foreman introduced by the Green Brick Workshop, whose surname was Zhang.

"Mr. Zhang? I think you've already heard from Steward Fang about my request?" Xiao Yunchu asked.

Zhang Gong is a middle-aged man who looks quite cheerful. He was a little surprised to see such a young and beautiful woman in such a small village, but he soon came back to his senses: "I said it, I heard it was Build a three-entry yard in the village, right?"

"That's right, but some of the interior layout of my yard should be quite different from the houses you built before. I've already drawn the blueprints. You can see if you can do it first."

"Oh?" Zhang Gong didn't expect this little woman to be able to draw blueprints?When he took a look at the paper that was handed over, his eyes lit up in a flash.

What Xiao Yunchu drew was a very simple floor plan, clearly drawing out the layout of each courtyard, and by the way, where things could be added in the courtyard, it was written in detail what to get.

"In all the front and rear yards, there is no need for gazebos or ornamental flowers and plants, but a lotus pond can be built, and the scale does not need to be too large. This is here." Xiao Yunchu pointed to the corresponding location on the drawing to explain.

The lotus pond of a big family is used to watch koi, and her lotus pond is going to be planted with lotus roots, and then raise some edible fish. When the time comes to pick lotus seeds, dig lotus roots, and fish, it will be so real!

"In addition, there are these places here, which are all reserved for vegetable gardens. Here is a frame for me to wrap around the vines. Here are the barns and chicken coops."

The purpose of building a shelf is to grow grapes in the future, but there are no grapes in Dazhou, so it is not easy to tell the foreman at this moment, and the barn and the like are reserved for the future when the family buys large animals, such as cattle and horses.

It's impossible for her to stay in Youxi Village all the time, and she will inevitably have to go out. She can't go to Uncle Liu every time, can she?It is best to have transportation, a car and a house at home, so that life can be nourished.

In addition to the above points, there are many other requirements, such as setting aside a special place for the two children to bump into some small play facilities. In order to ensure warmth in winter, the master bedroom, second bedroom, and the wing rooms at both ends should be provided. Kang.

Fortunately, Da Zhou already had something like a heated kang, otherwise it would be too difficult for a person from a city like her to figure out how to build a heated kang.

However, the cost of building a heated kang is not small, especially if she has to build a dozen or so rooms at once, which is not a small sum. There are not many families with heated kangs in Youxi Village, probably only a few Houses with good conditions, such as the village chief’s house, the hunter’s house, etc.

Foreman Zhang listened with gusto, and saw Xiao Yunchu's plan, and gave a lot of detailed adjustment suggestions in the middle, so as to ensure that the finished house was beautiful enough.

The two discussed for about half an hour, during which Village Chief Liu had almost no chance to intervene. It was not until Foreman Zhang made statistics and estimated the construction cost of building the house except labor costs that he took a breath of surprise.

100 taels of silver!He has never seen so much money in his life!
The village head is one of the few people in the village who knows that Xiao Yunchu earns more than 80 taels from selling big worms, but he can roughly guess that after building this big house, the money in her hands may really bottom out.

Xiao Yunchu was quite satisfied with this number, a little better than she thought, probably because apart from building the house, there were few things inside that required a lot of materials to build, and the only troublesome thing was the kang.

After the discussion came to an end, Foreman Zhang took the drawings back to Hongye Town directly to prepare some materials that she hadn't expected to order, and the village chief went to inform the villagers who had already made the orders, and the work would officially start after three days when the materials were all due!
Three days passed in a hurry, and Xiao Yunchu did nothing else during this period. He just asked the village chief to call some people in advance, and some of them went to the town to buy a large amount of rice, vegetables, meat, etc. to give to the workers. They use it for cooking, and some earthen stoves are temporarily set up in front of the thatched huts for convenience.

When the day came, the villagers who came to help gathered in the large empty land behind the thatched hut early in the morning. Xiao Yunchu, as the host, finally showed his face in front of everyone officially, and re-discussed the treatment by the way. again.

"This time we have a big guy to help me build a new house. I won't say much about the scene, just tell the big guy the exact salary."

The villagers were shocked and their ears were pricked up. What they were most concerned about was the issue of wages.

"My budget is to build the house within one month. The construction period is relatively tight, so the wages will be correspondingly higher. Those who help build the house have fifteen yuan a day, and they have a lunch and unlimited tea. The aunts who help make lunch and make tea get ten yuan a day. In addition, if the work is successfully completed within the scheduled time limit and the work is done well, I will pay an extra hard work fee. Double again!"

As soon as Xiao Yunchu finished speaking, the villagers all exploded.

"There's so much fifteen pennies a day!"

"It's five cents more than what the village chief said!"

"If you do this for a month, won't you have... 450 Wen? It's no worse than going to work in the town!" The villagers were all excited, looking at Xiao Yunchu as if they were looking at the God of Wealth.

The village head who was witnessing at the side was also startled, and opened his mouth to say something, but seeing how happy the villagers looked, he thought about it and said nothing.

Xiao Yunchu gave them a little time to digest, then cleared his throat, changed the topic, and said in a strong tone: "But! I also have a request, I hope everyone can work hard, don't be lazy, after all, my money is worthless. It didn’t fall from the sky, and it must be worth the money. If I find someone who is not working well, then I can only say sorry here. Those who are not working well can only quit and recruit others. "

The expressions of the villagers suddenly became serious, and they nodded as a matter of course. Some even directly patted Xiao Yunchu's chest and assured him: "Don't worry, we will work very quickly."

Soon someone echoed, "That's right! Such a good job doesn't come around very often, and it's too late for us to cherish it. If someone thinks the money is too much, those who don't have much are willing to fill the gap."

There were not many people in the village who were concerned about Xiao Yunchu's status and were unwilling to come to help, but when those people heard about the salary of fifteen cash a day, they might regret it.

At this time, Village Chief Liu also stood up and said that he would watch for her. If anyone was playing tricks, he, the village chief, would be the first to disagree!This is to express their attitude to everyone, so that no one will see that Xiao Yunchu, a young and helpless little woman, is easy to bully and want to play tricks.

After finishing what he had to say, he introduced Foreman Zhang to them again, and after that, he stopped talking nonsense and started to get busy with a yell!
The place occupied by the thatched house is also a part of the new house, which should have been pushed away before the construction started, but considering that Xiao Yunchu and her two children would have no place to live after pushing away the thatched house, she has many secrets, and she is a widow. It is inconvenient to live in someone else's house, so I simply keep it for now. The new house is built from the back, and when the thatched house is built, there should be a room in the back for a temporary stay.
