This night, Qiao's house did not completely rest until midnight. Of course, this is nothing Qiao Lan has to do, mainly because Cheng Fatzi has a few people, and he has to take advantage of the night to do what Qiao Lan tells him to do.

The steps of making marinated meat in Zhang Niangzi's hometown are actually very simple, first coat the surface of the meat with a layer of wine, then smear the stir-fried salt and peppercorns, marinate it in an urn for a few days, and then take it out to dry.

Cheng Fatzi has also used his experience with pepper recently, he asked Qiao Lan for the remaining half bag of pepper powder, added a large amount of pepper and salt and stir-fried together, and made a salty, numb and spicy base. Zhang Niangzi, who has tried the taste, thinks so.

Because of the inconvenience of Zhang Niangzi and Baozhu at night, the matter of smearing materials into the urn was handed over to Cheng Fatzi and a few others.

The fishy smell that permeated Qiao's house didn't dissipate until the second half of the night.

In view of the fact that the whole Qiao Mansion was abused by the smell of fish yesterday, the next day, Qiao Lan was busy asking Yu Dana to arrange for someone to transport the four urns of pickled fish that were only made last night to the West Bank for storage, and the drying will also be handed over to the West Bank Army in the future.

Then, she asked Yu Dana to arrange a few days of vacation for Cheng Fatzi.

At this time, Cheng Fatzi was really made by her master who came out with this idea one after another, and his originally round and jade body was a lot lighter.

Qiao Lan couldn't see it herself, so she thought of giving him a holiday.

Yu Dana responded one by one, and then made arrangements.

This day is the day to decide which craftsman team will be the leader of the West Bank to build a house.

The appointment time was at the end of the afternoon, and as soon as the end came, Chen Guoyuan brought his eldest brother and cousin to the door, and they politely handed over the greeting post.

After the shallot took the post. He went to inform Yu Dana, and only after receiving the answer did he lead the person into the door and take him to the small hall in the front yard.

Qiao Lan was in the backyard, seeing that the end of the hour was about to pass, Yu Dana had not yet let people call her, so she spontaneously and consciously went to the front yard, followed by Jewel and Xiao Wolf Xiao Dog. Walking to the small garden, she saw Cheng Fatzi squatting aside, looking at the bleak flowers in the autumn wind, and sighed. Ignore his body. There is really a sense of self-pity in it.

"Cheng Fatzi, what are you sighing for a long time here?" Qiao Lan stepped forward and asked. Cheng Fatzi quickly got up and turned around when he heard the voice, "Master! It's the slave's fault." Look at this flower. Thinking of my daughter. I can't help but feel sad, but I don't want to spoil the master's interest. ”

"What's wrong with your daughter?"

"Don't say it. Thank you for your concern. Cheng Fatzi was a little embarrassed, but he was also moved that Qiao Lan actually cared about his family.

"I asked Manager Yu to give you a few days off. That is, I miss my daughter, why don't I visit. ”

"Ah......" Cheng Fatzi replied stupidly, as if there was longing in his eyes, but he quickly responded in a panic, "Still not going, not going." Master, otherwise, don't let me take a vacation, I can't be idle. ”

"Manager Yu has already arranged the kitchen. Otherwise, I like the pastries of Yipinge very much, you go to the account office to get ten taels of silver, these days, you go to Yipinge every day to taste one or two, come back and then tinker, even if you can't do ten points, it is good to do eight or nine points. ”

Cheng Fatzi liked the errand of going to eat too much, and he hurriedly agreed, "Okay!

When Qiao Lan arrived in the front yard, Yang Cong led two middle-aged men with tools into the door.

Yang Liang said respectfully, "Master!"

"This is?" Qiao Lan wondered, in fact, she already knew in her heart that Yu Dana had not sent someone to call her over for a long time, and it was also because of these two people.

Among the two, the one with more prominent momentum stepped forward, "This heroic little boy is Young Master Qiao! We are the craftsmen of Lishan County who were invited to build a house for your mansion, and there are a lot of them." ”

"How do I remember that Manager Yu said that the appointment was ...... at the end of the day" Qiao Lan didn't take his words and was polite to him, she spoke lightly, and then looked at the sun in the sky, "I still remember wrong?"

Xu Yiduo didn't expect Qiao Lan to be so faceless, the smile on his face stiffened, and he said embarrassedly, "It's a long way to go, we need some time to come." ”

"Well, it's a long way to go, so you should eat after noon before setting off. Qiao Lan's words were plain, but when she listened carefully, she was not without ridicule. Three-year-old children know that the road is far away, and they should set off at the right time.

"I ......" Xu Yiduo still wanted to say something, but Qiao Lan had already turned around and walked to the small hall in the front yard, and the little wolf hurriedly followed, Xiao Dog was naughty, and barked at Xu Yiduo a few times before chasing after him.

In the small hall, the Eight Immortals table in the middle spread these pieces of paper, and Chen Ershun was still holding a brush and drawing on the paper. Chen Guoyuan just took the opportunity to ask Yu Dana a lot about building a house in Xi'an.

Yu Dana was very satisfied with their attitude, and Qiao Lan also intended to entrust them with the construction of a house on the West Bank, so after reading their drawings, he put forward a few suggestions.

No, after getting an opinion, Chen Ershun changed it on the spot.

When Qiao Lan came in, Chen Ershun and the others were drying the fresh ink on the drawings.

"Busy?"

"Young Master Qiao!" Chen Guoyuan hurriedly waved his hand, and Chen Caiyuan quickly put away the drawings on the table.

Yu Dana stepped forward and let Qiao Lan to the main table in the small hall, and Xu Yiduo, who followed behind, was completely ignored, how to see how redundant.

"You talk, I'll see. Qiao Lan sat down, the little wolf squatted down at her feet, and Xiao Dog wandered around curiously.

At the same time that Yu Dana turned around, he closed all the expressions on his face, looked at Xu Yiduo, and said lightly, "Craftsman Xu, you are here." ”

"Mr. Yu, I'm sorry. We have something to do, and we've been delayed for a while. Xu Yiduo was not stupid, and when he learned that today's events might not be as natural as he thought, he quickly restrained his heart and apologized.

"Oh!" Yu Dana said indifferently, "Which of you will come first." ”

"Let's go first. Xu Yiduo wanted to seize the opportunity and reverse the impression of the main family on them.

A small drawing was spread out, and the picture depicted a large five-entry mansion, the house was decent, but the drawing was a little rough, and if you looked closely, there was nothing outstanding.

Qiao Lan didn't come forward, she just had to look at Yu Dana's face. Just know it's not good.

This is obviously a drawing drawn after someone else's house! Yu Dana held back his anger, "Do you know that the house on the west bank is built on a mountain bag, not flat land?"

Xu Yiduo was stunned for a moment and explained, "We sent someone to see it, but I privately thought that it would be more appropriate to flatten the mountain and build a house." Mr. Yu, you don't know. Build a house on a mountain bag. There are many inconveniences...... "Xu Yiduo began to talk about the pros and cons of building a house on flat land and building a house on a mountain bag from a "professional" point of view.

If Qiao's family has to build a house on the mountain on the west bank. Their drawings don't work. Wouldn't that be their business? Yu Guang saw Chen Guoyuan and the few pieces of paper they were holding in their hands. He was in a bit of a hurry.

"Craftsman Xu!" Yu Dana interrupted Xu Yiduo's chatter, "There are nearly a thousand acres of flat land on the west bank. ”

"Ah!?" Xu Yiduo was obviously stunned, unable to understand what Yu Dana was doing suddenly.

Chen Guoyuan over there understood. He quietly folded a drawing in his hand and put it in his arms.

Yu Dana had to add patiently, "Even if there are nearly 1,000 acres of flat land, if you really want to build a house on flat land, you can divide it into dozens of acres, why cut the mountain." ”

"So ......" Xu Yiduo wanted to say that it was not just, why bother to move those two mountain bags, Yu Dana interrupted him again, "However, my master alone pointed out that he wanted to build on the mountain bags, don't you understand?"

Yu Dana's three or two sentences made Xu Yiduo speechless.

"Your drawings, unfortunately, do not apply to the West Bank. Craftsman Chen, take out your ones and take a look. ”

"Eh!" Chen Guoyuan hurriedly came forward with the drawings, there was still a drawing on the table, he looked at Xu Yiduo on the side of the pestle in embarrassment, and the latter took the drawing away with an ugly face.

Chen Guoyuan opened the four drawings one by one and spread them on the table.

"Master!" Yu Dana had already seen the drawings, so he didn't need to look at them anymore, he turned his head to look at Qiao Lan. Qiao Lan received his signal and stepped forward.

The four drawings are average, but it can be seen that they have put a lot of thought into it. When you combine the four pictures, you can see it at a glance from the mountain to the house. There is a wall under the mountain, the gate is due east, and then there are stairs going up. The five courtyards are not connected, three on the top of the hill, two on the mountainside, and there are pavilions in the middle, and the main building of the main courtyard is a two-story ......

The most satisfying thing for Qiao Lan is that another hill bag is also covered, on which is an observation deck, and there are many flowers painted around it.

The more Qiao Lan looked at it, the more satisfied she became, and how satisfied she was, how ugly Xu Yiduo's face was.

As a well-known craftsman team in Lishan County, it is humiliating to be compared to a craftsman team in Wuli Town.

Xu Yiduo walked over with a blank face, wanting to theorize, however, when he saw the drawings on the table, he was stunned, the two drawings were not comparable at all, and it was obvious to all which was better or worse. The various layouts and builds were beyond his imagination. He never knew that the house could be built like this.

"You don't need these flowers, plant fruit trees instead!" Qiao Lan said, pointing to the flowers under the observation deck, "and other spare places should also be planted with fruit trees." ”

As soon as Qiao Lan's words came out, the meaning couldn't be clearer, and she had simply skipped the comparison stage and directly used Chen Guoyuan's drawings.

"Qiao Gongzi, I don't accept it!" This contrast between advantages and disadvantages is too stark, and Xu Yiduo is still unconvinced. It's impossible to get used to making them subjugate to others. "It's not fair. They must have listened to you to make such drawings. If you had instructed us, we would have been able to draw better drawings. It's clear that the competition is good, but you operate in the dark, or you didn't plan to let us be the head in the first place. ”

"Presumptuous!" Yu Dana was afraid that he would collide with Qiao Lan, so he hurriedly walked over and blocked Xu Yiduo, "The skills are not as good as others, if you lose, you lose, where do you have so many reasons." ”

Xu Yiduo stiffened his neck and said angrily, "What I said is not right. Manager Yu, why did you find us, isn't it because we are one of the top craftsmen in Lishan County. The whole of Lishan County knows that our craftsmanship is unmatched, and it seems that these few people who come out of the col can compare. But you are setting up a situation like this, which is really not the work of a gentleman, even if you want to hire them to build a house, why do you want to elevate them by stepping on us. ”

Yu Dana never expected that in this short period of time, Xu Yiduo had already thought about it so much.

Qiao Lan was on the side, nodding her head when she heard it, thinking to herself, this person has such a big brain, it would be a pity not to investigate the case. (To be continued......)
