Chapter 231: They Can't Afford Tiles?
Qin Rong stood up for her family, and the old Qin family hated her even more, maybe there would be some insidious little moves.
"It's not like that, there are people who are so blatant, it's not okay to let them disturb like this, if they make trouble again, we will report to the official." Wang Geng said indignantly.
Pei Chenzhou nodded, "I agree with Uncle Wang's statement, only the official mission to take people away is the safest way, you can't use all your energy to warn them, everyone usually has something to do, there is always a time to neglect precautions." ”
"Okay, if they make any more moves, they will report to the official." Qin Rong felt that since the county lord was respectful to her, he should think more about them in this matter.
After deciding to report to the official, everyone seemed to be a lot more relaxed.
As long as the person is captured, everything will cease and the wind will be calm, which is better than being cautious all the time.
People live to live, not to guard against villains all day long, otherwise, what fun is there in living like that?
bought what Qin Rong wanted to buy, and at this time, halfway through the afternoon, there were not many people left on the street, which made people feel a sense of breathing.
Qin Rong told him about the ribbon cutting, and Wan Shi said happily, "Okay, then you stay first, and go back after the ribbon cutting tomorrow." ”
Qin Rong was alone outside, she was not very at ease, but with Pei Chenzhou by her side, she didn't have to worry about anything.
Shao Fengting has been sending people to keep an eye on the movements in the county seat, and if there is anything unusual, she will receive the news as soon as possible.
The Wan family and Linghua's family went back, leaving only Qin Rong and Pei Chenzhou.
The two decided to look at the building materials, tiles, and stone bricks.
"Rong girl, the stone is simply picked from the mountain, and it costs more money to buy it directly." Pei Chenzhou said.
Qin Rong shook his head, "I have thought about this problem, the stone bricks are directly built, each piece is very regular, the wall is more stable than the stone, and the stone must be constantly selected, pay attention to fit, it takes more time to build a house, and there will always be casualties in quarrying, we can't afford this responsibility." ”
Pei Chenzhou didn't speak, the truth is this, but the previous silver was mainly earned by her, and he couldn't bear to spend it all at once, he hoped that she would leave more silver and cover the blue brick glazed tiles she liked.
Qin Rong said again, "I calculated, to mine stones, you have to get permission from the government, counting the manpower mining, and the cost of transportation, it is equivalent to an extra thirty taels of silver, and this money is not unaffordable." ”
It's a big deal, all the silver harvested today will be used.
She's saving money very quickly now.
"Nope." Pei Chenzhou refused categorically, he was too resolute, Qin Rong glanced at his tense face, and couldn't help but laugh, "It's so fierce, it's scary." ”
For fear of really scaring her, Pei Chenzhou suddenly felt distressed, "Rong girl, I'm not targeting you, I think it's better to mine stones, after all, it's free when it's on the mountain, we only need to pay a small amount of money to the government, there is no need to spend an extra thirty taels of silver, besides, as long as it is construction, there may be accidents, and the quarry is avoided, but when building a house, building a house is also prone to accidents." ”
Qin Rong listened and began to think about it.
"It's my family who builds the house, I will bear whatever it is, and it won't hurt you, and besides, I will be very careful and try to avoid bad things happening." He said again.
"You, I'm not a person who is afraid of things, I just want to build you a house as soon as possible, so that you two can live in it." Qin Rong poked his chest, "According to what you said, it's also a big deal, it's a big deal, you can save money." ”
"Well, we'll just have to look at the tiles." Pei Chenzhou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she no longer insisted.
There is only one brick factory in this town, on the outskirts of the east end of the town, and the production of tiles produces some smoke and dust, and it is built in a remote way so as not to disturb the people.
The villages around the town are very poor, and most people use thatch to build houses, and at most people in the town will buy tiles when they build houses, so there is only one family.
The tile kiln is five times the size of Qin Rong's charcoal kiln, and next to it is a large shed, under which stacks of terracotta tiles are piled up, covered with thin cloth.
The roofing materials commonly used by the ancients are generally glazed tiles and terracotta tiles, which are more gorgeous and can refract brilliant light in the sun, so they are often used in royal buildings, and the appearance looks graceful and noble, for example, the roof of the building in the Palace Museum. As for terracotta, it is a civilian building material, which is widely used and relatively cheap.
The owner of the brickyard was a little surprised to hear that the two were from the ravine, and few people in the village came to buy tiles, after all, a batch of tiles that can build a medium-sized courtyard costs 30 taels of silver, and the villagers can earn 3 taels of silver all year round. Yunnan
However, even if you buy it, you buy it sporadically, and I don't think I can buy much of these two babies.
"Take a look at it, and tell me as much as you want."
The boss didn't entertain much, and went into the house to roast the fire and drink tea.
Qin Rong didn't care about the boss's rudeness, in the eyes of these middle-aged people, they were just two children who had just grown up, and they didn't expect to have much silver, and businessmen existed to make money, and it was normal to despise them.
A handful of terracotta is fired with yellow clay, the soil quality is good, it will be burned red, the soil quality is poor, it will be burned to dark gray, in addition to ensuring the soil quality, the fire is the most basic condition to determine the quality of the finished product, the quality of the bricks and tiles is determined by the size of the fire, excessive fire will cause bending, and the lack of fire will not penetrate the billet.
Generally, the finished products produced by the tile kiln are divided into three grades: A, B and C, which are divided by the degree of firing. Due to the upward firepower, the firepower of the upper or middle and upper layers is stronger, and the finished products burned are more ripe, which is first-class goods; The middle layer has moderate firepower and is a second-class cargo; The lower floor and the rear seat are classified as C-class goods because of the weak firepower.
The tiles mended by the old Qin family are C-class goods, with pieces of ash and cracks.
This top-notch building has a tight structure, a smooth surface, and no cracks, which is the most ideal building material, and Qin Rong doesn't want to look at anything else when he sees the first-class goods.
"Rong girl, let's just buy the second-class one, it doesn't need to be good." Pei Chenzhou said.
Count it up to ten taels of silver for the first class than for the second class.
Qin Rong glanced at him, "Tsk, you are doing everything possible to save me money." ”
Pei Chenzhou looked at her deeply, "There is a sentence in the book, love someone, and have far-reaching plans for it." ”
Qin Rong's cheeks burned, "No, the tiles must be the best, so that the house built in this way is good-looking, you don't think it matters, don't think about the two of us living together in the future." ”
Thinking of Rong Yatou living with him, Pei Chenzhou's eyes were full of tenderness and affection, like the light of the stars.
yes, you can't wronged her, it's just ......
He said guiltily, "I didn't earn much money before, and I will definitely compensate you twice as much in the future." ”
Every time he thought about it, he was uneasy, so he worked harder and harder.
"The silver is earned by us together, and we will earn more in the future, don't think about it, it's over, let's build the house happily." Qin Rong said that he fished with her, looked for honey together, chopped wood and burned charcoal together, and gave her all the silver he sold for hunting.
Among them, his credit is not a lot at all, but he blames himself so much.
But it also shows that his responsibility, his sense of responsibility, he wants to hold up a piece of heaven for her.
"Well, I won't let you down." Pei Chenzhou said firmly.
Hearing that they wanted a courtyard tile volume, or a high-grade tile, the boss was shocked.
looked at Qin Rong in disbelief, "Little girl, the amount of a courtyard is thirty taels of silver, you're not kidding." ”
"Boss, do you look at me like a joke?" Qin Rong said seriously, "Thirty taels of silver, it's not like we can't take it out." ”
The boss's mouth opened into an "O" line, and the two of them looked up and down, the teenager was relatively simple, the material of the girl's clothes was a little better, there was no trace of sewing, and the face was passable.
But it's not like a rich family came out.
Perhaps, some people just keep a low profile.
"Cheng, as long as you can get the silver, I can't ask for as much as you want." The boss's attitude changed suddenly, and he was very earnest, "You go in first to sit down, bake the fire, drink tea, and buy tiles, let's talk about it." ”
Qin Rong rolled his eyes silently, people died for money, birds died for food.
