Zhang man Dun only felt that his breathing was a little heavy. Ah, since his daughter-in-law had been kissing him, his endurance was getting worse and worse. Just close to it, it makes him feel that he doesn't know where to put his eyes.

However, although he was hot in his heart, he still looked serious. He only nodded his head and repeatedly said that his daughter-in-law was well placed.

"Two and a half Mu is not much. It's barren on the other side of the front mountain. Because it's a mountainous area where farming doesn't grow much crops, the price is cheaper than that in the village. I reckon that four taels of silver will be enough. "

Lin Baozhu thinks that the price is not expensive. Then they roughly calculated the cost of building a house. Besides the land, the big end of building a house is the brick beam. As for the manpower, in order to save trouble, they simply invited the clay tile team to take full responsibility.

In this way, before they went to bed, they decided to do something about it. They only waited for the next day to find Lizheng to buy land. And then go to the town to find a mud tile team to build a house. As long as the agreement is made, it won't take long to live in a new house.

The next day, Zhang mantan took some tea and went to Zhang Lizheng's home. Lin Baozhu went to Houshan to pick tea as soon as possible with some women who came to work with aunt Tian. By the way, I'd like to know the price of masons and big green bricks and tiles.

Wang's sister-in-law, who was picking tea at the edge, heard Lin Baozhu's words and opened her mouth. She seemed very surprised and asked, "man Dun's daughter-in-law, are you going to get up a house?"

It's not that she has any other ideas, it's just that man Dun and his wife are really capable. Earlier, no one in the village knew that when Zhang left, he sold all his fields and houses, but he was afraid to move the thatched cottage and ancestral grave where Zhang mantan lives now.

At that time, many people secretly said that old man Zhang was not kind and didn't leave anything for his eldest son. And the daughter-in-law like Wang Da Zhuang's is still looking forward to Zhang man Dun and Lin Bao Zhu's disgrace. They can't live on.

But I don't think it's been long. People have not only started business and can afford meat and food, but now they have to build a new house. In the future, who dares to laugh behind his back.

Lin Baozhu thought about it yesterday. He should be a low-key person and do things in a high-profile way. Since he has to be conspicuous in the village sooner or later, he no longer has to hide his own thoughts. In any case, ordinary people can't afford Zhang man dun. Even if a woman wants to make her own way, she has to see if she has the ability.

It's good to be a pig and eat a tiger, but she doesn't want to. Now that we have our own property, we don't violate the rules and customs, and we don't violate the law, how can we not admit that we have made money?

In the final analysis, it's because there's someone in the family who can sit in the town. Otherwise, if it's an ordinary honest farmer, it's probably because he's suddenly rich that he'll get into trouble.

"Yes, now that there are tea pickers at home, I just want to build a house, which will save the rain and make the tea drenched and damaged." After thinking about it clearly, she naturally set up a conversation, and there was nothing to be embarrassed about. She just said with a smile, "although I owe some money to buy the mountain, as long as I work well with man Dun, I can get over it sooner or later."

Listen to her say so, the side of another daughter-in-law also echoed a few.

"You're so brave. Your family is still in debt and dare to afford a house. If I were you, I wouldn't dare. I'd like to tighten my belt and pay off my debts as soon as possible. " Another daughter-in-law Dazhu tut tut two, "but speaking of it, we are quite envious of you. Although we have encountered a lot of bad things, we have come here after all. I'll look around. Your store is full, but I care about you. "

With that, she laughs and pours her lips behind Lin Baozhu, joking: "here, it's only a while. Your family will come to look for you. I'm afraid you're tired. "

Aunt Tian and aunt Ma also began to laugh. They made fun of Lin Baozhu twice. After a few words with Zhang mantan, they went to their own tea picking path to get busy. Because the wages are calculated according to the amount of picking, they are not willing to delay more.

Just when Lin Baozhu had packed the tea basket and let her man pull her away, aunt Tian could not help but sigh with aunt ma not far away.

"Who would have thought that the old hoard, which was cold every day and even children could cry in horror, would live like now, just like other people, and those who knew the cold and the heat knew how to love their daughter-in-law."

"No, I was worried that he would be naked all his life. But it's a good fortune to marry a good daughter-in-law. It's a pity that man Dun's mother left early, otherwise she would wake up laughing now. "

They have a few words without a word. Although they feel that Zhang man Dun and his wife are in debt, they feel very happy that they have a good relationship and are very motivated.

What's more, Baozhu's tea making skill worries about not being able to live a good life?

On the way home, Lin Baozhu worked out some accounts with her husband, according to the words of aunt Da Tian and aunt ma. The bricks and tiles, wood and wages for building a house cost at least ten liang of silver. If you want to hire a clay tile team, you'll have to pay more, but that's faster.In addition, it will cost a lot to set up some furniture and clean up the house. If you pick up the new house, you'll have to run for twenty taels of silver.

Fortunately, they still have some money in their hands. Apart from the 150 taels of silver they planned to pay back first, they will still have 20 taels of money to build a house. They can still have about 10 taels of money to maintain the expenses of the tea shop and their family.

When the next crop of eagle tea is made with baijiguan tea, you can earn some more to make your hand a little easier.

Probably everything was settled. Later in the day, Li Zheng sent a message that he had finished the deed. Then Zhang mandun went to the town again and found the famous clay tile class in the town to build a house.

Although he doesn't often associate with people, he also has intimate friends in the town. What's more, Shi Dayong is a well connected person. He came from the Yamen. No matter who he deals with, he can get two points.

So he went to the town to find a reliable mud tile team, with little effort. But half an hour later, the salary was agreed, and then master Niwa followed him to the village to measure the land.

There are many masons in the nearby villages, but not many of them may come across big houses with big bricks. It can be said that once or twice a year is a good time. So Zhang man Dun said a little bit, and the bricklayer was full of answers. After measuring the size, he could buy Bricks and timber on the same day, and could only start work in three or two days.

As a matter of fact, the original construction work is very careful. Generally, we have to find a husband to show us the almanac and find a good day to start construction. However, Lin Baozhu is the foundation of modern people, and he doesn't believe in those complicated rules. Although Zhang mantan is an ancient man, he is not rigid, and he won't delay his business for those so-called illusory statements.

So after a discussion, several people decided to start work in two days. For a house of two and a half acres, all the materials are included, plus the wages and food expenses, 14 Liang silver is included.

After deciding these things, Zhang man Dun thought of buying pen, ink, paper and inkstone for his daughter-in-law.

In Anping Town, there is no special study or place to sell pen and ink. I just picked up some at the grocery store. Because of the surrounding villages, although the town is still prosperous, there are few people who really study, not to mention the ordinary people who will be able to support their families and buy paper and pens for their children. People can't afford that.

So although there are many people in the grocery store, there are no people who are really shopping at the pen and paper counter. It can even be said that the ink and paper in the corner are covered with dust, and the counter is particularly cold, not even a man.

At this moment, someone saw Zhang mandun, who was expressionless, rushing straight to the pen and ink. First, he was in a daze, and immediately rushed to ask. They know this man. He has been with his wife for several times. Every time he goes shopping, he is a big hand in the family. As a result, although this person does not look like a literate scholar, no one despises him.

Zhang man Dun didn't know the difference between those papers. He just frowned and looked bitter. Who knows the difference between rice paper, rough edge paper, Yuan Shu paper, fragrant ink and grey ink.

Man, when you look at his face, you almost know what's going on. This man really didn't buy these things, but although he knew that Zhang mantan didn't understand them, he didn't look down on them or make any sarcastic remarks. He only explained carefully: "this Shengxuan is a good paper, which is very good in painting and writing. It's also a common paper in the Academy. Yuan paper is clean, flexible, and has a bamboo flavor. It can be used to write official documents in Yamen and make books on shop counters. The paper should be cheaper. It's usually used by beginners or poor people who can't afford to buy good paper to practice calligraphy.... "

After listening to what the man said, Zhang man Dun knew it. My daughter-in-law is used to keep accounts. Naturally, it's best to make a book, so I bought a knife of Yuan paper. Finally, I bought an inkstone and ink bar. There are too few people who come to buy these things, especially those who are as happy as Zhang mantan, so at last the shopkeeper asked the man to give him a brush without any pattern.

Although it's not much, it costs two or three dollars. At ordinary times, this may be the harvest of a farmer for one or two years. But in zhangmantan, as long as it's needed by the daughter-in-law, silver is nothing.

How happy Lin Baozhu was when he came home with his things, and how he rewarded him. Anyway, that night, Zhang mandun was furious when he went to bed. He wished he could buy more paper and pens for his daughter-in-law.
