Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 90

After returning to the village, Xia Junyan didn't let herself relax.

She still didn't forget that she had promised Brother Zhuangshi to take care of the house, and immediately went back to the mountain to have a look. Seeing that the things in the house were exactly the same as when she left, she was relieved.After going down the mountain, he immediately asked Uncle An about repairing the house.Three days later, Uncle An introduced several old craftsmen with good craftsmanship. Xia Junyan was also willing to spend money on good materials, but only asked for the house to be repaired firmly.

The old craftsman and Uncle An are also acquaintances, seeing that this house is lived by an orphan, he said: "The door must be secure, especially the lock must not be careless."

Xia Junyan nodded, and said again: "Can you help me build the earthen wall outside the yard a little higher?"

"Okay!" The old craftsman said no problem.

Including materials and labor, the total is ten taels of silver.In addition to raising the earth wall, the roof was replaced with green tiles, and the windows and gates were all new.Although Xia Junyan didn't plan to live in this house permanently, the shadow of being broken into the previous few times was too deep, and it was her house after all. It was built more securely, and she felt at ease.

Xia Junyan was willing to spend money, and the meals for the craftsmen and masters included meat, vegetables, and white flour steamed buns.Seeing this, the old craftsman couldn't help saying: "There's no need for so many, no need! Don't spoil your mouth."

"Building a house is a laborious job, but you have to eat enough to be energetic."

Now that the boss has said so, the old craftsmen are also happy to improve the food, and they also went to tell Uncle An in private that the introduction of this work is good, as expected of old friends for many years.

Xia Junyan specially went to find some cheap large porcelain bowls. After breaking them, the artisans asked the craftsmen to place the sharp side upwards and embed them in the earthen wall.Seeing her posture, Mrs. An couldn't help saying: "Ah Xia, are you building a house or a castle?" Looking at the porcelain pieces, although the porcelain bowls from the earthen kilns in the country are not worth much, it is enough to throw them like this Distressed.

"Snapped!"

Xia Junyan smashed one hard, "Don't worry, ma'am, I know it well!"

"Snapped!"

Another one!
One after another, until more than 20 porcelain bowls were smashed clean by Xia Junyan in one breath, she stopped and took a breath-how cool!

She has been aggrieved enough these days, if she doesn't vent her anger, Xia Junyan feels that she might go crazy.Those who look down on her and ridicule her, she can't laugh back now; those who want to harm her, she can't destroy them humanely.

She is useless!

Xia Junyan squatted down slowly, carefully picked up the tiles, and handed them to the craftsmen who were preparing to build the walls.According to her idea, she originally planned to use iron sheets to embed on the wall, but in this era, the iron workers are basically government officials, iron products are very expensive, many times more expensive than earth kiln porcelain, Xia Junyan thought about it Think, or buy porcelain.At least if she is unhappy, she can smash it. Buy a pair of scissors and wait until she is unhappy. Should she kill herself, or go to Li Chun'e for a suicidal fight?
The old craftsmen have been craftsmen for many years. Seeing that the owner is happy to give money and the food is good, no one is passive and sabotages work.But after seven or eight days, the dilapidated hut is already very interesting.In particular, Xia Junyan's creative improvement of the earth wall. From the outside, those big pieces of broken porcelain are quite intimidating.

The old craftsmen touched their beards, and suddenly felt that when they repaired the courtyard walls of those rich families in the future, they should also talk about this method.

On the day the house was repaired, a square table, four chairs and a cabinet ordered by Xia Junyan were also delivered.It is almost impossible for such a movement not to disturb the people in the village.
