Chapter 643: Engaging in New Construction (4)
Three days after all the materials to be used in the mill were in place, Jia Ji's boat brought a boatload of dark-skinned and strong-muscled craftsmen to set up a circle of canvas around the open space, and even the place where the materials were stacked was also fenced.
Qi Ke naturally couldn't admit that the craftsmen who came to build the house were actually her people, but she always had to explain a thing or two about the similar style, so she deduced that this was the construction method that was slowly emerging outside, and the fence not only protected her own architectural secrets from leaking, but also blocked the dust and sand, and also reminded passers-by not to approach a construction site here.
The villagers gladly accepted this explanation, especially when they thought of the situation last year when they built their own houses, with dust and sewage flowing all over the sky, and piles of masonry and stone materials everywhere that even the normal roads were blocked, and then looking at the mill under construction, it looked clean when fenced off like this.
On the day when the new wall of Zhuangzi was built, the last few villagers also officially completed the move, and the villagers were kind and simple, and each family would clean the house they lived in before moving out to express their gratitude.
The brand-new new wall naturally has an equally solid and thick gate, and a plaque is hung on the lintel, which is engraved with the word Qi Zhuang written by Qi Ke himself, with an iron and silver hook, and a stroke is full of a sharp air of killing, the word is like a person, it can be seen that Qi Ke himself is not as gentle as the surface of the surface, and she herself does not know how to write such a penmanship, but it looks really good after carving it into a plaque.
By the thickness of the wall, the gate is double-layered, the inner side is a wooden door that opens and closes inward, and the outer side is a horizontal sliding fence gate, during the day, the inner wooden door is opened, and the grocery store that has been moved out borrows a section of the wall to build a large grass hut to protect from the sun and rain, and the villagers who want to buy things can open the fence door at will to come in and hang out, and they can see more clearly when picking things under the sun, and the original Zhuangzi gate is naturally closed most of the time.
This new large courtyard was directly called the outer courtyard by Qi Ke, and Zhuangzi itself was easily closed to the outside to show the difference between inside and outside.
The villagers occasionally muttered that is, chatted a few words, envied twice, jealousy and hatred are not, each family is busy studying, busy working and making money, how can there be spare time to pay attention to what others are doing, and the brain is already thinking about using their idle house to plan to plant vegetables in the greenhouse this winter, because someone specially asked if they could buy vegetable seeds with Qi Ke, Qi Ke readily agreed, she didn't mind the villagers robbing her business at all, on the contrary, she was willing to plant vegetables as many people as possible, and it was best to monopolize the winter vegetable market in the county.
The villagers who were hired by Qi Ke to grow vegetables for a winter last year were the most active in planting vegetables, and they have practical experience, but the only difficulty is how many empty houses they can spare to grow vegetables.
The neighboring villages of Sanliu Village and Wuliu Village heard the gossip and also came to Qizhuang to ask if they could buy vegetable seeds, and the maids who took care of the grocery store business said that they could, and the vegetable seeds were open for sale, and whether they could be planted well depended on their abilities.
The vegetable seeds for sale by Qi Ke are all grown in the Qianhe Realm, which is equivalent to using the water and soil environment of the Qianhe Realm to breed, and then take the seeds to the real world to plant, the ability to adapt to the environment and resist diseases and pests is very strong, as long as you are attentive, the harvest will not be bad, and her Zhuangzi is also preparing for winter planting at this time, adding more advanced equipment to set up artificial lighting to engage in soilless planting.
