Zhao Siniang originally thought that after successfully solving Mu Lian's employment problem through "domestic sales and exports", Zhao Sanlang would be embarrassed to trouble himself for a long time in the future. However, she really underestimated the thickness of Zhao Sanlang's face. After a few months of training, Zhao Sanlang's thick skin and the city wall had a fight, and within two days, he honestly and unceremoniously entangled Zhao Siniang again.

Zhao Siniang, who was forcibly pulled into the hall by Zhao Sanlang to roast the fire, said: They all said that "you can hide from the first day of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth", she avoided the first day of junior high school, and she is still far from fifteen at this time, but it is only the third year of junior high school, and she came to urge her life again, and let no one live!

"Siniang, you can taste it! This is a freshly steamed rice cake from the previous child, cut thinly, and bake it on the stove, how fragrant it is! Zhao Sanlang said as he brought a piece of freshly baked rice cake to Zhao Siniang's mouth.

The rice cake was baked under the charcoal fire on both sides with a little burnt yellow, constantly exuding the unique fragrance of new glutinous rice and the burnt aroma of white sugar, the two fragrances were entangled, very attractive, even Zhao Siniang, who had tasted all kinds of delicacies, was also attracted to attention.

It turns out that this kind of baked rice cake is one of the delicacies in Zhao Siniang's memory. I remember when I was a child, I would steam rice cakes every year when I went to my grandfather's house in Layue. After the freshly steamed rice cakes are "raised" in the water tank for a day or two, Zhao Siniang will pester her grandfather and ask him to cut a few slices and bake the rice cakes for herself. Grandpa always responded to her needs, but this rice cake refused to give her more, saying that the child had eaten too much food, and he was willing to bake two thin slices for her at most every time, so that she never felt that she had eaten enough. When she's older, she'll be able to bake it herself. My grandfather's house no longer steamed rice cakes, and the stove used to bake rice cakes was gone, so this delicacy could only be sealed in the depths of memory.

Now Zhao Sanlang is crooked. brought the delicious food she had been thinking about for a long time to her mouth, how could she still endure it as a foodie? Subconsciously reached out and took it, and chewed while blowing. One piece was not enough, so I took the other two slices that were being roasted on the charcoal stove.

"Siniang, this way of eating was told to me by Xiao Yuanzi, how is it? It's delicious! Zhao Sanlang saw that Zhao Siniang swallowed the sweet bait, so he couldn't wait to talk about his purpose: "But Xiao Yuanzi and they are still staying in Baiwei Hall." Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, I don't even have a nest of my own, so I feel pitiful. Siniang. For their sake, you can lend me some more money! You have to help them build the house, don't you? ”

Really! Zhao Siniang knew that pies would not fall from the sky, and Zhao Sanlang must have other intentions for being so attentive.

Zhao Siniang ignored her eldest brother. I finished the food in my mouth very calmly. Then he took out his handkerchief and wiped his mouth, then stood up again and patted the rice cake dregs scattered on his clothes.

Just when everyone thought that Zhao Siniang was going to raise her legs and leave after eating and wiping them clean, she sat down again and said angrily: "The twenty taels of silver I gave you are not for you to build a house, but mainly for the good harvesting of capital?" Of course, considering that these children are homeless, it is necessary to arrange accommodation for them. Then go and rent a small yard, if you find it troublesome. It's okay to take them directly to live in a ready-made inn! As far as I know, five taels of silver is enough for them to live in the Chase shop of the inn for a year and a half. Although the Chase shop is definitely not as comfortable as at home. It's definitely a hundred times stronger than the broken kiln they used to live in. Why can't they live there, why do they have to build a house to live in? Why do you have to build a blue brick house? ”

It's not that Zhao Siniang suddenly became enthusiastic and took the initiative to help, but she understood that if she didn't help Zhao Sanlang solve the problem, now that he was thick-skinned enough, he would be able to keep pestering her. Anyway, if you can't run away, then solve it as soon as possible!

However, her agreement to help solve the problem does not mean that she is willing to be wronged. She still doesn't want to pay any money that shouldn't be paid. When it comes to money, first of all, we have to plug the "bottomless pit" dug by Zhao Sanlang.

It is said that since Zhao Siniang threw those children to Zhao Sanlang, she has never taken the initiative to ask. But Zhao Siniang didn't bother to ask, it didn't mean that she didn't know what Zhao Sanlang was doing. In fact, Zhao Sanlang's tossing movement was too big, and she couldn't even think about it.

It turned out that after Zhao Sanlang brought the children out of the broken kiln, he made up his mind to give them a warm home. After getting the twenty taels of silver that Zhao Siniang gave him, he didn't think about what business to do, but thought about how to build a house.

It is not easy to build a house in Youzhou, and the cost of foundation, materials and labor is more than double that of Jinghai. After Zhao Sanlang inquired, he found that the silver in his hand was almost the same after selling the foundation, and the foundation was not in a good location, it was located in the north of the city.

Since you can only buy the foundation in the north of the city with money, you can simply keep the money and come back directly to a piece of land near Baiweitang. Because the name on the title deed of the hill where Baiweitang is located is Zhao Yongzhong, Zhao Sanlang informed his father and directly called the mason to start work.

The structure of the house, designed and supervised by Zhao Sanlang, resembles a courtyard house. There are two inverted seats on each side of the main entrance, and when you enter the main entrance, you will directly enter the courtyard, facing the three main rooms. On both sides of the main house are the east and west transepts, and there are two wing rooms on the east and west sides of the courtyard.

Although Zhao Sanlang has long realized that he has insufficient funds in hand, he has tried to be frugal when designing the house, and only tinkered with it. But when it came to the actual construction, he was still in the Jinghai price system, and he didn't realize the necessity of making a budget, and everything he did was based on his feelings, and he used what he thought was good, and it was inevitable to do something unrealistic. For example, even though his money bag is stretched, he still asks for the best bricks to build a house. As a result, the house was only halfway built, and the twenty taels of silver given by Zhao Siniang were spent, and now there was no money to buy bricks.

is also thanks to Zhao Sanlang's father and mother who support him unconditionally. After learning that Zhao Sanlang's money was not enough, and Zhao Siniang refused to support, they hurriedly moved out of their own small treasury and threw them into Zhao Sanlang's "bottomless pit". It's just that the maximum dividend of the Zhao family's business has to wait until the end of the year, and although they can usually get monthly money and part of the dividends, they are extremely limited. In addition, Zhao Yongzhong still has some selfishness, so he didn't take out all the money. In the end, the two of them only made up fifty taels.

With the fifty taels of silver, Zhao Sanlang finally bought all the bricks and reluctantly built the wall. But when it was time to go up the tile, he pinched the shriveled money bag and was dumbfounded--what should I do? Just these three melons and two seeds, it's not enough to buy decent tiles at all!
