Small peasant girl in space: under the fence of the flower field

Chapter 282 Stone Carpenter

For the plan of the storefront, Hua Xiaoqiao already had a plan in her heart and told Banxia earlier, but she could understand that Banxia had asked such worries over and over again. No matter what, I have never seen her strength, so it is completely understandable to have doubts in my heart now.

She shook Banxia's arm slightly, and said with a little intimacy: "Brother Banxia, ​​don't worry, since I said I can handle it well, you have to believe that I am not, and you just like this Don't you believe in my strength, and you don't want to follow me tomorrow, I'm not ready, don't you still have you by my side?"

Her mouth was very sweet to please Ban Xia, which made Ban Xia couldn't help laughing.

Banxia feels that she is the most helpless to Hua Xiaoqiao now, because Hua Xiaoqiao can grasp his weakness every time: "You girl, you just have a sweet mouth, so I won't talk about you anymore, I know you don't like me, I'm worried You are too much, you have your own opinions, I don’t have any opinions on this, just tell me what you want to do after seeing it done, if you need my opinions, I will do my part, I’m just afraid of you Dislike me for being irritable."

Hua Xiaoqiao quickly shook her head and waved to Banxia and said: "Brother Banxia, ​​I won't dislike you. To be honest, it's really good to have you by my side. There are many times when I feel an inexplicable sense of security. Brother Xia, do you know that you are really good to me."

She didn't even know what she was going to say now, but anyway, she felt that Pinellia was really good.

Ban Xia didn't say much, just smiled and stopped talking.

Hua Xiaoqiao really had other things on her mind. The one she invited today was afraid that she would not be able to make things well. Although she saw the craftsmanship, who knew....

As soon as she thought of the man, she thought that she didn't even know the man's name. It seemed that they were too careless, so she couldn't help asking Ban Xia: "What's the name of the carpenter we hired today?"

Ban Xia scratched her head and thought hard for a long time before saying, "It seems to be a stone carpenter? I remember he accidentally mentioned that he seemed to call himself a stone carpenter. Don't worry about a name, after all, this is not the best. The most important thing, and I think the most important thing now is that you go back and take a good rest now."

Hua Xiaoqiao also felt tired when she heard the word rest: "I don't know why these two days, I always feel a little tired, and I need to take a good rest when I go back."

Banxia felt sorry for Hua Xiaoqiao who worked too hard every day. He always felt that Hua Xiaoqiao's physical limit was not so high, and it was precisely because of this that he kept preventing Hua Xiaoqiao from doing business.

Going to bed too early at night caused Hua Xiaoqiao to wake up early the next morning. She couldn't sleep herself, thinking that the wood she bought would be delivered and the carpenter would also be here today. In addition, last night, she heard the housekeeper say that the shopkeeper of the silk and satin village There are still some things that have not been moved, most of which are relatively bulky objects, and it is estimated that they will come and remove them early this morning.

She had to go to watch it earlier, so she went to the street without calling Ban Xia after she got dressed.

In the early morning, the street looked very empty. At this time, the sky was only bright and the city gates were only open, and there were not many carriages coming in. The vendors on the street were setting up their stalls. She walked to the door of the shop and looked up at the silk and satin shop. The plaque sighed, but this time she also knew that she was a bit unkind, after all, if it wasn't for her butler, she wouldn't have forced the shopkeeper of the silk shop to leave like this, but many things are like this, if you don't fight for it yourself, then you won't have a chance, anyway She does these things within reason.

Thinking about it carefully, she can be regarded as comforting herself. At least she doesn't feel that uncomfortable in her heart, and she doesn't have superfluous thoughts. Everything is a foregone conclusion and there is no need to worry about it.

It's just that when she was about to take the key to open the store door, she found that the lock of the store door was only hung on it, and it was not really locked.

She took off the lock in doubt and then pushed the door open, but she was a little surprised when she saw the mess in the room after pushing the door open. When the housekeeper came back last night, he said that everything here was packed and those big things were taken care of. There is no need to clean it up, but now there are messes all over the floor, messy things and even rotten vegetable leaves on the ground. Seeing such a scene, Hua Xiaoqiao's heart is full of anger. This store is only owned by her and the shopkeeper. The keys and all the big ornaments in the house have been taken away. It is obvious who did this. She sneered and the little guilt she felt at the door just now disappeared in an instant. I felt guilty, and now I don't feel any guilt at all. The things that the shopkeeper has done are really hard to bring up and dare to do.

She didn't care about the mess of the store, the mess on the ground would be cleaned up with a sweep, it's nothing, she went to the backyard, although she had been to the silk and satin shop several times before, she had never entered the backyard once, and there were pieces of porcelain in the patio There are scattered pieces of porcelain all over the place, which makes people worry. The most important thing is that the soil in the pot is scattered in the yard, and it is also intentionally poured with water to make the mud all over the courtyard. It didn't rain at all, and the mud in the yard can only show that one problem is man-made.

Hua Xiaoqiao felt very worried when she saw such a scene, and she even complained about the shopkeeper in her heart. She wanted to see what the shopkeeper could do to vent her anger.

She walked directly into the hut in the yard. Fortunately, although it was a bit messy here, there was nothing else on the ground except for a few muddy footprints. She was relieved that at least she didn't have to worry too much.

After checking the backyard, she found a broom in the corner that could be thrown away. She didn't care whether it was useful or not. She took it to the shop and started cleaning it. The wood deliverer would come later, and she had to get it here as soon as possible. After cleaning, the stone carpenter will be able to come to do woodwork after the place is cleaned up.

After sweeping the house, it was covered with dust. I found a broken basket in the middle of a room in the backyard to put the garbage in. Then I opened the door and went to the backyard to clean the house. As for the mud in the patio, she has nothing to do now. , there is no well here, so she can only go to the public well at the gate of the city to fetch water. She doesn't have the ability to fetch water now, and she has to wait until Pinellia comes.

So she just cleaned the room temporarily, and the street gradually became lively and the sky became brighter. She put the garbage in the corner and waited patiently for the wood deliverer to come.

At any rate, the lumber deliverer and the stone carpenter arrived a quarter of an hour later.

The boy who delivered the wood and Ying Ai, the carpenter, knew each other. They had a good conversation together, and there was a man who didn't speak a word behind the carriage.

She herself had no way to help unload the wood, so she could only wait beside the carriage and watch the two unload the wood.

The stone carpenter staggered and reeked of alcohol, walked to Hua Xiaoqiao's side, pointed at the cart of wood, and said, "Miss, everything you want has been brought to you. If you need anything else, you can tell me right now." , I can introduce you to a better place."

In fact, he just wanted to introduce a few businesses to his friends, and the people he introduced were all trustworthy.

Hua Xiaoqiao also took a closer look at the wood that was delivered just now. They are all very good. This is what she saw when she was looking at the wood in the store yesterday, which means that the other party did not deceive anyone. She also admired the stone carpenter in her heart. .

"For the time being, I don't know what I need. If I think of what I need, I will tell you. Do you think it's okay?"

She spoke in a low voice, and the stone carpenter was in a good mood when he heard it. Suddenly he talked more: "Don't look at me as if I'm drunk every day, but I'm not drunk at all. I'm just pretending. I drink a lot. , I’m not bragging to you, or the daughter Hong you sent yesterday, I can drink two catties a day and I won’t get drunk.”

Carpenter Shi's rosacea is very serious, Hua Xiaoqiao thinks Carpenter Shi must be an alcoholic, otherwise he would not have such a big rosacea, and he must drink a lot every day, otherwise he would not It will become as ugly as it is now.

She did not leave any traces and slightly distanced herself from the stone carpenter. It was because the stone carpenter smelled of alcohol when he spoke, which made her a little bit disliked. She didn't really dislike anything. Because she herself is not used to talking so close to people.

"If there's anything I need, I'll tell you, okay?" The embarrassed drunk stone carpenter could only tell him in such a tactful way.

The stone carpenter didn't hesitate and continued to help the boy move the wood.

At any rate, it was only after Hua Xiaoqiao paid the money that he finished moving that he approached the house. At this moment, the stone carpenter looked at the blueprint he found on the dilapidated counter as if he had calmed down. He moved the blueprint up, down, left, and right Looking upside down, I just don't understand what is painted on it.

He looked at Hua Xiaoqiao suspiciously and asked, "Miss, did you draw this drawing?"

Hua Xiaoqiao nodded, she walked to the side of the stone carpenter and said, "Is there any problem with this?"

Carpenter Shi pointed at the drawing and was a little confused: "I just can't understand what you are drawing, can you help me explain it?"

Hearing Hua Xiaoqiao raised her eyebrows and pointed at the blueprint, she began to say: "I may have drawn this blueprint a bit rough, so let me tell you about it..."

When Pinellia came, the stone carpenter had already started sawing wood with a saw, but Hua Xiaoqiao was nowhere to be seen.

He complained a little bit that he fell asleep and now it seems that he has indulged himself a little bit. Last night, because he was reading late, he woke up to find Hua Xiaoqiao, but found that Hua Xiaoqiao had left.

He came here in a hurry but didn't know where Hua Xiaoqiao had gone.

He watched the stone carpenter concentrating on doing his own work, and he was a little embarrassed to disturb him, so he could only sigh and squat in the corner, thinking about where Hua Xiaoqiao could go.

At this time, Carpenter Stone's light voice floated over: "Are you looking for Miss Hua?"

Ban Xia immediately stood up and walked to Carpenter Shi emotionally, "Do you know where she went?"

"Of course, I can still understand your little thoughts, kid. Anyway, I've been here, but that young lady is not suitable for you." He sighed after finishing speaking.

This sound made Banxia's throat rise, and he looked at Carpenter Shi in a little surprise, and didn't understand what Carpenter Shi meant when he said this.

The stone carpenter finally sawed off the wood in his hand, then glanced at Banxia and said: "That girl is not a woman who wants to stay at home and enjoy life, in fact, I admire this girl for being able to show her face outside and do things. Admiration, but you need to know what kind of her you like, if you like her doing business outside like this, I think you can continue."

Ban Xia blushed at the words, and said with embarrassment: "I didn't think about it first, you misunderstood, she is just my younger sister, and she only thinks of me as an older brother in her heart."

This is such a bitter question, if Hua Xiaoqiao can treat him as... Then he will wake up laughing from his dreams.

Carpenter Shi didn't say much that these were other people's private affairs, and that development or non-development had little to do with him.

Hua Xiaoqiao came back with a food box and a jug of wine in her hand. She saw a stone carpenter doing woodwork today, and as soon as she was an expert, she would have no choice. Although she is not an expert in carpentry, she saw stone It is really good for a carpenter to know the skills of a stone carpenter once he does it.

So since the good wine and food are promised, she must do it, and she doesn't particularly care about these things because they don't cost much.

As soon as Banxia saw her coming back, she quickly apologized, and Hua Xiaoqiao knew what to say about Banxia: "Brother Banxia, ​​I just want you to rest at home for a while before talking about the things here, and I can solve it myself. You come here too. Playing, it’s not as real as reading a book at home.”

Her meals were prepared so that Pinellia would also eat with her. The stone carpenter had changed the wood in the morning. The round logs had been sawn into long pieces by the stone carpenter. There were many sawn surfaces on the ground. It's time to take it back and cook on the fire.

For five days in a row, Xiao Qiao came to the store every day to help serve the carpenter's meals. At any rate, the store was originally empty and now there are flower stands around it. She made the counter very small and not too big. Compared with the position occupied by the flower stand, the counter is too small. , but she thinks this is enough, the store is mainly for selling flowers and plants, as for the cash register, as long as others know where to pay the money, it will be fine.

The craftsmanship of the stone carpenter is good. Hua Xiaoqiao also took advantage of this opportunity to make some larger objects for the store. As for the stone carpenter's home ready-made chairs and small tables, the price is the same, she must be ready-made, so I went directly to the stone carpenter's house and got some.

Ban Xia has been by Hua Xiaoqiao's side for the past few days.
