Chapter Fifty-Four: The Unique
When I was tidying up the house in the past, I saw a lot of Li Wenxuan's books in the past, and Li Yuqing sometimes read them when she was fine. The font here is similar to the traditional Chinese characters I've seen.,Even if you haven't seen it, you can roughly guess one or two along the meaning.。 Occasionally, I will teach Li Yuxin and Li Minghao some simple words that I have determined.
Li Wenxuan used to teach, and there were still some unused white paper at home, although it was a little yellowed after a long time, it was still well preserved and not bitten by insects or rats. There is a set of pen and ink, although it has been used, but it can be used again.
Thinking of his ideal to build a house, Li Yuqing tried to draw with a brush, but it was always unsatisfactory, always controlling zhì bad ink, always making a mess of black, and wasting a few pieces of paper, Li Yuqing finally remembered that the burned branches could be used as pens.
Before building the house, Li Yuqing spent a few copies of the house diagram on paper with charcoal ash, which was very handy, and she thought that it was really easy to use. Marked how to cover each place on the diagram.
Before building the house, Li Yuqing showed it to the villagers, and it was very strange for the villagers to see it, which was simply unheard of. The villagers didn't know what the words marked on the map meant, Li Yuqing explained to them how to look at the picture, remember what the word meant, and everyone understood. After all, building a house is inseparable, no matter how fancy it is, those few steps are indispensable.
When Chen Dazhuang led everyone to dig the foundation according to the schematic diagram, Li Daniu almost transported the cut trees down the mountain. Li Yuqing found them again and asked them about the bricks and tiles.
Chen Dazhuang and the others were very surprised to hear this, it is not easy to build a house in the countryside, ordinary people are mud houses built with mud mixed with grass clippings, the beams of the houses are supported by wooden sticks, and the reeds tied into handfuls are used as roofs. As long as it can block the wind and rain, it will be over if it is not good to lay the wheat stalks on it, and the blue bricks and red tiles are the ones that the rich and noble live in.
After all, Li Daniu and Li Yuqing are not close to Chen Dazhuang, so it is difficult to talk about her, so he turned his gaze to Chen Dazhuang.
Chen Dazhuang felt Li Daniu's gaze, although Li Yuqing felt that he should have his own opinions, but he couldn't stand Li Daniu's enthusiastic gaze, so he had to bite the bullet, "That, Yuqing and we are all rural people, there is no need to live in such a good place, it is better to ・・・・・"
After saying something, Li Yuqing interrupted, "Uncle, I also have a reason" Afraid that Chen Dazhuang or Li Daniu would say something again, Li Yuqing simply said, "I want to do other things in the future, and if I become big in the future, I can't guarantee that there will be expensive people to come, and when the time comes, I will go there to find a house for others, and I can't let people live in earthen houses."
Chen Dazhuang and the others heard that Li Yuqing had already thought so far, thinking that she was also a big heart, and it was really difficult for someone to come when the time came. is also glad that Li Yuqing wanted to live well and built such a special house, so that she could earn enough face in the near future, which is a later story.
Seeing that they weren't saying anything, Li Yuqing discussed bricks and tiles with them again. Because no one in the countryside uses it to build a house, the houses built in the town are directly sent by others. Therefore, Chen Dazhuang and the others also knew nothing, and only vaguely heard that there was a ten-mile village thirty miles away from their village that specialized in selling these things. Li Yuqing was also very happy to hear it.
It's almost mid-June, and people in the village have begun to harvest wheat one after another, and everyone in the village who helped build the house has more or less land in their homes. Even Chen Dazhuang's family has a few acres of thin land to harvest, and it will not work at all by relying on Old Man Chen and the He family to do it. Li Yuqing simply gave them a week's vacation, and then came back to continue working when they were done.
The villagers were very grateful to her, and originally wanted to talk to Li Daniu and Li Yuqing, but they didn't expect Li Yuqing to say it before it was implemented.
After finishing today's work, because they would not come for several days, and they were afraid that it would be difficult to find them by then, the villagers put away the tools they used. After greeting each other, they said goodbye to Li Yuqing and left.
Discuss with Chen Dazhuang and Li Daniu that they will accompany them to Shili Village tomorrow to see if there are bricks and tiles they need, if there are bricks and tiles they need, buy them and let them send them over, and then they can continue to work when the villagers are busy with farming.
Chen Dazhuang, after Li Daniu said goodbye, Li Yuqing patted her head helplessly, blaming herself for not figuring out everything and rushing to start work, how did she know that in the town, the tile house that can be seen everywhere is still a rare item here, not everywhere.
In the evening, I went to talk to Li Congwen about not going to deliver goods to Yao's shopkeeper tomorrow, anyway, it is hot now, and it is not easy to transport toons outside, and the demand is not as big as before. However, it is not bad to have one or two taels of silver coming in every day. I still build a house and sell toons as a supplement. Next month, the potatoes that grow deep in the mountains will be harvested.
When the potatoes are harvested, they have to dig the cellar to put the potatoes, and they have extra time to think about other things. The trajectory of life is slowly becoming regular, and the things that need to be worked on appear one by one. Now Li Yuqing is a little tired, not to mention that he is still a child here, even if he has just graduated from college in modern times.
The next day, because he didn't have to go to the town early to deliver toons, Li Congwen finished breakfast. When they entered the house, Li Yuqing and the others were already standing there waiting for him. Li Congwen was very embarrassed, thinking that he was late. Busy like they don't pay for it, Li Yuqing waved his hand, he was worried that he didn't sleep well all night, Chen Dazhuang They are used to getting up early.
instructed Li Yuqing to take good care of Li Minghao at home, Li Yuqing and the three of them sat on the ox cart, and Li Congwen drove the ox cart away.
The ox cart was walking slowly on the winding path, and Li Yuqing's excited palms were sweaty. Today she carried twenty taels of whole money in her arms, and took some change, and if there are bricks and tiles at that time, she will pay a deposit for them to send them over, if not, even if they have peace of mind.
Because I didn't know the way, I asked a lot of people along the way, and finally arrived at Shili Village at noon. I didn't eat much in the morning, and now I'm even more hungry with my chest on my back.
On the way, I found out that bricks and tiles were indeed bought here, so Li Yuqing was refreshed again. Everyone was hungry and decided to eat something in the village, and by the way, it was the best place to sell bricks and tiles.
It is probably a village that sells bricks and tiles, and there are many stalls at the entrance of the village to buy food, and people come and go at the entrance of the village to pull ox carts, and the carriages are still a small market. I walked to the place where Chaos was sold and asked for three bowls of Chaos. Looking at the white and tender chaos sprinkled with a small amount of chives, the green yo looked at it with an appetite, and couldn't help swallowing saliva.
Li Yuqing and Li Congwen were just one bowl younger, and Chen Dazhuang was different, and one of them ate another bowl before they were barely full. When counting the money, Chen Dazhuang and Li Daniu scrambled to give the money. Seeing them like this, Li Yuqing took advantage of the gap to give the chaos money, and they were very angry when they reacted, this is not a living slap in the face.
In fact, Li Yuqing thought very simply, they came out to do things with themselves, and they could not make them pay money, but Chen Dazhuang and they didn't think so, no matter how they were elders, they couldn't get by if they had to pay money from juniors.
asked the boss whose bricks and tiles in the village were good, and asked Li Congwen to drive the ox cart according to the boss's instructions. Along the way, looking at Chen Dazhuang, who was still angry, they were very innocent, no matter how she begged for mercy, no one paid attention to her, only Li Congwen sat in front and smirked. Li Yuqing was very annoyed, glared at him viciously, and the frightened Li Congwen shrank his neck and turned around and continued to snicker.
Soon, a large mansion with blue bricks and red tiles appeared in front of Li Yuqing, and the vermilion gate was closed, with indescribable majesty. Li Yuqing jumped out of the carriage, looked up at the door plaque with two gilded characters "Zhu Mansion", and thought to himself that this is the best place to do brick and tile business here, look at this house is really different.
