Full of wine and food, several people chose an auspicious day.

On the paper that Hao Jun brought listed several dates, among which it was pointed out that September 20 was the best. Now that it has only entered the end of August, Xiao Yu and the others decided on this date as soon as they discussed.

The three of them had already decided to build a brick house this time.

When building a house, you should not only look at the auspicious day, but also invite a feng shui master to come, look at the direction according to local conditions, and plan the layout neatly. In addition, it is necessary to prepare materials such as stones, bricks, beams, wood, lime, clay, etc., in advance, and invite craftsmen. Ordinary helpers can be hired in the village, but skilled craftsmen with related skills have to be hired separately.

Building a house is a big deal, and Xiao Yu is really inexperienced.

Xiao Yucheng reminded on the side: "Why don't you ask Uncle Zhou Qi and his aunt to come over to help." ”

Xiao Yu smiled: "Yes, how did I forget this." That Yucheng hurried to go. ”

After Xiao Yucheng invited Uncle Zhou Qi over, several people discussed the details of the division of labor. In the end, it was decided that Uncle Zhou Qi would order all kinds of materials and supervise the work, Xiao Yu would manage the account expenditure, Xiao Pei would be responsible for the food, and Hao Jun would assist Uncle Qi to find the matter of skilled craftsmen.

"During this time, Yucheng will help with Uncle Seven more after school, learn more, in the end, he will support the court in the future, and you will still have to preside over the major affairs of the family in the future." Xiao Yu said again.

Xiao Pei nodded in agreement when he heard this.

"I understand." Xiao Yucheng solemnly agreed.

After the arrangements were made and the housework was done, Xiao Yucheng, Hao Jun and Zhou Qishu went to the fields to bring water for irrigation. There hasn't been much rain for nearly half a month, and the fields are a little dry. In the past few days, the Pitang on the side of the mountain has released water, and the people in the village have rushed to bring the water into the fields, and many people have gone to guard it in the middle of the night, which is very hard. If it weren't for the Xiao family's prestige in the village, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy to wait for this water.

The next day, he began to hire people to dig clay, go to the river to get sand, and go up the mountain to cut wood. These materials are readily available, and they only cost a little money. As for the bricks and tiles, they had to buy them separately, and in addition, they had to hire a car to transport them back.

Digging sand, transporting bricks and timber, hiring helpers, and waiting for the arrival of the craftsmen, Xiao Yu found that most of the busy and busy half a month had passed.

The sisters and brothers have agreed on the salary: ten yuan a day for ordinary helpers, which is higher than usual, because they need to carry bricks and mud to get up the house; Craftsmen with craftsmanship are the same as Uncle Zhou Qi, with eighteen dollars a day; The seventh aunt came over to help Zhang Luo with food, and she also gave six wen a day. In addition, everyone is in charge of three meals.

This salary is very high in the local area, and everyone is happy and works very hard.

Everything is ready, and in the blink of an eye, it is the twenty tenth of September.

The weather was clear and the wind was smooth.

Several members of the Xiao family got up early, but Hao Jun also came with the early morning autumn dew. Everyone had breakfast. When it was auspicious, Xiao Yucheng offered incense to his ancestors at home to bless heaven and earth, and went to the wasteland where the house was located to burn incense and candles, sprinkle money and rice, and worship the land lord, and then he could start the ground.

The wasteland was already level, and everyone worked together to quickly remove the weeds and clear the stones, so that the craftsmen could stretch the scriptures, that is, draw the red line according to the original size of the house, and then start the construction according to the line.

I saw that Xiao Yucheng and Uncle Zhou Qi first pasted the spirit talisman that Xiao Pei asked for around the wasteland to suppress demons and drive away evil spirits, and then the craftsman began to set the line according to the planned fixed point.

The Xiao family hired ten strong villagers from the vicinity to help with the construction of the house, plus six masons, which was more than enough.

Xiao Yu watched everything in an orderly manner, and Xiao Yucheng, Zhou Qishu, and Hao Jun watched, so they returned to the old house to count. There are a lot of accounts for building a house, and these days it costs a lot of money just to buy materials.

was immersed in settling accounts, and there was a commotion from the construction site next to him, and someone was faintly heard shouting excitedly: "I have dug up a treasure!" ”

It is not uncommon for houses to be built in the village and ground to be excavated.

When Xiao Yu heard this, he put away the things in his hand and walked out of the yard to take a look. I saw that everyone gathered together, bowed their heads to the ground and discussed, and I didn't know what they had dug up. She walked in three steps and two steps.

There were a few pieces of broken porcelain and a few pieces of broken cloth scattered on the floor, and an old wooden box the same color as dirt was next to it. The lid was open, and inside were paper-thin, round-hole copper coins, as well as tattered and yellowed silk silks.

A helper with five big and three thick squatting next to him was none other than Wang Tiezhu in the village. He clutched a turquoise hosta tightly in his hand, which looked good at the head of the water, but unfortunately it was broken.

Xiao Yu asked, "What's going on?" ”

Everyone was talking nonsense, but in just a few words, Xiao Yu figured out the ins and outs.

It turned out that when digging a trench used to ram the foundation, Wang Tiezhu found a wooden box on the ground that was now placed on the mud surface, and the hosta and broken silver he grabbed in his hand were also from the wooden box. And this is not the first time in the village, in the past, the villagers often dug up things when building houses or digging soil, and some of them are still better treasures than this. So when the wooden box was first dug up, everyone was very excited.

After listening to this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but think that this Niujiao Village seemed to have a lot of heritage.

Hao Jun asked loudly, "Ah Yu, what do you say about these things?" Xiao Yu was still groaning, Xiao Yucheng took a step forward, just when a mountain wind blew, the tattered cloth in the wooden box flew up, and suddenly turned into fragments and scattered in all directions.

Xiao Yucheng frowned slightly, and then said to Wang Tiezhu: "Since you dug it up, it naturally belongs to you." It is a good omen for the house where the house was built to dig up treasures, and the salary today is five wen per person, and vegetables are added at night. Everyone kept working. ”

Wang Tiezhu was overjoyed and hurriedly carried the silver and hosta into his arms.

When everyone first heard that the dug up was returned, Wang Tiezhu was very hot, and they were all happy again when they heard about the processing money. After all, something was indeed dug up by someone else, but this five cents was an unexpected joy. At the moment, I am full of energy to continue digging the foundation, hoping that I can also pick up a treasure.

Xiao Yu saw that everyone ignored the wooden box and the fragments on the ground, so he asked Xiao Yucheng to put it away and take it back to the house.

Although the enthusiasm of the crowd was high, until all the trenches for the foundation were dug, nothing special was seen.

A few people studied the broken porcelain in the house for a long time, but finally found nothing, so they gave up.

These things are old and have not been properly preserved, and they have long been unrecognizable. The wooden box became extremely thin, and the fabric was only yellowed and moldy silk, even the original pattern was gone, and the words on the copper coin were rusted to the point that there was no trace of it.

"I'll take it back for you." Xiao Yu smiled and handed the things to Hao Jun, "The General's Mansion is full of talents, maybe someone can see something." ”

Hao Jun responded happily.

The half-human deep earth ditch has been dug, Xiao Yucheng, under the guidance of Uncle Zhou Qi, wrapped the bricks in red cloth and put them in the four corners, and placed the copper coins facing up below, that is, pressed the gold bricks, and inserted the peach wood smeared with cinnabar, and began to build the foundation with stone mortar.

The beams and columns used to build the house have been prepared, and a carpenter has been hired to complete the various related components. Before the foundation is built, it is compared so that a place is reserved for placing the capstone of the column, and the pillar can be erected when the foundation is laid.

By sunset, the foundation was half-built.
