Chapter 52 Production 1
Zhang Cheng found Li Ren, Wu Tian and Wang Wensheng and told Li Xiao about buying land. They were all in favor. Anyway, Li Xiao has money, and now he wants to study how much land to buy and how big a house to build.
The four of them gathered at Zhang's house and told Li Xiao their results in the house.
Li Xiao concluded: "One acre of land is only five taels of silver, so I will buy half an acre of land on both sides of the old house and build two one-entry houses." There are three rooms in the main house, two in the ear room, four rooms in the east and west wings, and four rooms next to the south gate.
After Li Xiao finished speaking, the people in the room were dumbfounded.
Zhang Cheng said: "What is an acre of land is only five taels. ”
Wu Tian said: "Why are you building so many houses? Do you have so many people living in your house? ”
Wang Wensheng said: "You want to develop on the landlord side." “
Li Ren replied to everyone: "I look at her, I don't toss the money in my hand, I'm not happy." “
Li Xiao was also dumbfounded, the point is not these, okay.
Li Xiao said: "I want to give the old house to the big house, and the land I bought later will be given to the second room on the other side, and I will live in it." Don't think about these useless things, help me calculate how much it will cost? I want to build a brick house, and I want to build a stone house, and I want it to be strong. ”
Several people were dumbfounded. calculated for Li Xiao that it would cost five taels of land to buy, and it was estimated that it would cost twenty taels to build two brick houses.
Li Xiao heard that it was so expensive, so he said: "That only builds three main rooms and two ear rooms, and the others will be separated after they are separated, so it shouldn't need so much, right?" “
In the end, it was calculated that the land was bought for five taels. Two plots of land were built with three main rooms and two transept rooms. The materials of the house cost eight taels of silver in total. Coupled with labor costs, a total of fifteen taels can't run.
Li Novel just did it. Li Xiao gave Wu Tian two taels of silver, and asked Wu Tian to find a craftsman, but now he only includes three meals and does not pay wages. gave Li Ren five taels of silver and asked him to help buy land. gave Zhang Cheng eight taels of silver and asked Zhang Cheng to buy materials. Wang Wensheng is responsible for bookkeeping, recording all expenses and income. The four of them went to get busy, and Li Xiao took two big and four children to go to the mountains to hunt every day. Wufu heard that Li Geng, Wu Shi, and Zheng Lin went up the mountain with Li Xiao, but now Sanniang is not at home, and no one cares about him. He also wanted to follow, and Li Xiao took him with him. She was going to prepare food for the workers. It would be nice to have more workforce. simply brought the three wang and four joys with him.
It's getting closer and closer to Siya's due date. Siya is very well raised, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Zhang family attach great importance to Siya's baby.
One morning, Li Ren came to pick up Li Xiao, he had already completed the formalities, and took Li Xiao to the yamen to get the title deed and house deed. Wang Wensheng sorted out the capital contribution account book for buying materials at Wu's house. Wu Tian also found a good person, and there were many people in their Wujia Village, and they were all full of energy and were waiting to start construction. The people of Wujia Village were very grateful to Wu Tian, and they were still thinking about them at this time. In this way, they will be prone to be too much this winter.
Li Ren took Li Xiaoheli to drive the ox cart to the Yamen, pressed his handprint, saw that the title deed was correct, and walked back.
Before he left the city gate, he saw Wu Tian running in from outside the city gate. Li Xiao stepped forward and shouted to stop Wu Tian.
Wu Tian grabbed Li Xiao and said, "Hurry up and go back, your sister is going to give birth." “
Li Ren thought that it was a big deal, and when he heard that he was going to give birth, he said happily: "Let's go back quickly, Wu Tian, where are you going?" ”
Li Xiao looked at Wu Tian and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Wu Tian said: "I came to the city to find a doctor. ”
Li Xiaoyi hurriedly said: "Wu Tian, you hurry up to the medical hall, and wait until you go to the city gate to make an ox cart and go back." Wu Tianen sighed and hurriedly ran in the direction of the medical hall.
Li Xiaodao: "Grandpa Zheng, I'm really embarrassed, look at this, wait for you to come with them, I'll go find Wen Po." Rizheng motioned for her to hurry up.
Where did Li Xiao know about Wen Po, and went directly to Wild Taste Xuan. When I went in, I found the shopkeeper and said that I would ask them to help find a better stable woman, and her sister was about to give birth. The shopkeeper figured out what Li Xin was about, so he asked the shopkeeper to find Zhou Wenpo. She is famous in this area, and ordinary people can't invite her. Li Xiao saw that the shopkeeper was willing to help put his mind at ease, and said, "I don't thank you for your kindness." ”
The shopkeeper asked about the last time, and Li Xiao said: "It's just a few little thieves, and the shopkeeper doesn't have to take it to heart." Li was careful not to chat, and his words were more light and light. The shopkeeper was shocked.
There was a lot of movement in the backyard, and I saw a young man running over from the back hall and said, "The shopkeeper is not good, the wolf that the Yan family wants has escaped and bitten someone." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly went to the backyard with the comers, and Li Xiao also followed over to take a look.
When I got to the backyard, I saw two people surrounding a wolf, and another person lying on the ground, very close to the wolf.
Li Xiao asked, "Is there a bow?" “
The shopkeeper was stunned, and then he was overjoyed. It seems that Li Xiaogongzi should have practiced. Hurry up and ask the young man to fetch the bow and arrows. By the time the bow was taken, the two men were already entangled with the wolf.
Li Xiao took the bow, pulled it and asked, "Do you want to live or die?" “
When the young man heard this, he pursed his lips, not very convinced.
The shopkeeper listened to Li Xiao's question, and said happily: "It's better to be alive." “
Li Xiao picked up the quiver and leaned against his feet. As soon as the shopkeeper wanted to ask, whether he needed to hold it, he saw a small hand quickly draw four arrows in succession. When he raised his head, the wolf had already fallen to the ground, all four legs were shot, and both people in the field stared blankly at the fallen wolf. The shopkeeper gasped, this is too powerful. The young man hurriedly said, "The little boy is so powerful."
The two who were fighting with the wolf breathed a sigh of relief and turned their heads to thank the archer, but when they saw the bow in Li Xiao's hand, they suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. It was a child's arrow, and one of the arrows passed next to him, and if it was a little off, it would have been him.
One of them said to the shopkeeper: "You don't take the Yan family too seriously, how can you let a child shoot an arrow, what if this hits us?" ”
Another yelled, "Shut up." Then like the shopkeeper and Li Xiao apologized, saying that his brother was ignorant. He also praised Li Xiao's arrow for shooting in a timely manner.
Li Xiao said: "You're welcome, it's a gesture." After saying that, he threw the bow to the young man, and went back to the lobby.
The shopkeeper said: "Brother Li is my guest, and when he came to me to do something, he lost his company first." This time, I will give the Yan family an explanation, but fortunately, the wolf is still alive. “
When Li Xiao returned to the lobby, the shopkeeper came back with Zhou Wenpo. Li Xiao was ready to leave. The shopkeeper asked the store to send the carriage away, Li Xiao did not refuse, nothing was as important as her sister came, and the shopkeeper thanked the shopkeeper and got into the carriage with Zhou Wenpo.
The speed of the carriage was very fast, and after walking more than half of it, he met Li Ren.
Li Xiao asked the coachman to stop, let Wu Tianhe get into the carriage, and asked Li Ren to send Li Zheng home.
Wu Tian helped the doctor into the carriage.
When the doctor in the medical hall saw that it was Zhou Wenpo, he greeted him and said, "With Aunt Zhou here, you can rest assured." ”
Li Xiao glanced at Aunt Zhou and said, "Trouble Auntie."
The carriage sent the person to Zhang's house and went back. When Li Xiao entered the door, he saw Zhang Cheng walking around outside the door, and he couldn't do it in a hurry. Zhang Chengniang and her grandmother were in the house. Siya had already fainted.
When Zhang Cheng saw Li Xiao coming, he ran over, and he couldn't hold back his tears anymore, and the brush fell down. said: "You can be regarded as coming back, your fourth sister is going to be gone." After saying that, he squatted on the ground and covered his face, and began to cry. Wu Tian helped the doctor over and said, "Hurry up and let the doctor take a look."
Li Xiao saw that Zhang Cheng didn't react, so he kicked Zhang Cheng over with a kick. said: "People are not dead, what are you crying about?" Then he turned his head to look at the doctor and Zhou Wenpo and said, "It's troublesome for the doctor and Aunt Zhou." Zhang Cheng hurriedly pointed to the room and said, "It's this one." The doctor and Zhou Wenpo entered the room.
