94. The idea of a small quadrangle
Seeing Yao Dajiang so surprised, Song Lingxue thought about it carefully, as if it was really surprising to draw the architectural drawings directly at this time, and she was still an illiterate rural woman.
In this way, she couldn't say it directly, her mind was running rapidly, and she was about to think of a good idea, when Yao Dazhuang's voice suddenly sounded beside her.
"This is a few years ago I met a craftsman outside to paint, I remembered, but the painting is not too detailed, after all, many years have passed and I can't remember it clearly, but your sister-in-law thinks it is very good after reading it, and she also has some ideas, let her tell you about it."
Song Lingxue didn't expect Yao Dazhuang to open her mouth to explain for her, she didn't think much about it for a while, just secretly had fun, and then nodded to Yao Dajiang.
Yao Dajiang smiled, and didn't ask more about the drawings, he knew that Yao Dazhuang was literate and had been a soldier for two years on the battlefield, and later often went out to work, and the county seat was often there, so what Yao Dazhuang said, he didn't have any doubts.
Then Song Lingxue told Yao Dajiang her thoughts, also to explain the specific structure on the drawings to Yao Dajiang, otherwise no matter how smart he was, he couldn't build what Song Lingxue wanted with just a half-hearted design drawing.
The house is a small courtyard that has been changed, the two large rooms on the left and right of the main house each have an ear room, the middle is the living room Ming Hall, the direction sits north and faces south, the east and west sides each build a slightly smaller size of the same two large rooms and a small room with a hall of the Xiazi room, and the position of the south of the door in addition to building a gatehouse that is not high or low, the two sides of the gatehouse can also build four rooms that are not big or small, a total of eight.
Among the eight houses, the four rooms on the left are used as a kitchen hot water room, a utility room and a grain storage room, and the four rooms on the right can be used as guest rooms.
Then there is a corridor with the eaves all around, so that when it rains, you can go from there to every gate and even to the gate.
Five acres of land is quite large, and the yard after building a house is not small, and Song Lingxue plans to dig another well, which is also convenient for drafting.
Dig a small water gauge of more than one zhang, plant a little lotus in the pond and eat lotus roots, and then pick a big stone to make a small rockery at will, and build a simple small pavilion on the edge of the pond on the other side, and plant a few fruit trees and flowers, which is really beautiful.
The gap between the main house and the houses on both sides is just connected to the courtyard wall, extending out to some smaller rooms, two rooms in the east as men's toilets and men's bathing rooms, and two in the west as women's toilets and women's bathing rooms, so that it is convenient for more people to go to the toilet, and there is no need to wash in the house with a large basin for bathing.
And the bathroom and the toilet are still connected by the sewer, and the water for the bath here can flow to the toilet through the built sewer and flush the toilet, but fortunately, there are already lime mud and sand paste walls in this era, and then use some bluestone slabs, you can definitely build a clean and convenient toilet.
It's just that you don't have to think about the shower head in the bathroom, Song Lingxue designed a big bucket below to take a bath, and after the bath, pull off the plug and the water will flow down the drain. As for the bath water, you don't need to go to the kitchen, but build a small simple stove outside the bath room, and the stove mouth is inside, and the pot is hot, and the water inside can be added cold water at any time, and it is very convenient to add it to the barrel when it is hot.
The seam at the gatehouse outside, the kitchen on the left is directly sealed by a high wall, and the right side can be extended out to build a few sheds, as a livestock house, pigs, cows, donkeys, chickens, ducks, and dogs.
Originally, Song Lingxue also wanted to have floor heating in the house, that is, the earth dragon of this era, but later found that it was too labor-intensive, and their family couldn't enjoy it, so they gave up, and the fire kang was not necessary, because although this place is the northwest region, but the winter is not so difficult, the villagers here don't have a fire kang at all, and Song Lingxue doesn't know the specific principle, as far as she knows, if it is built, it will be bad if there is no danger if it is built.
The fact that the kang does not need a plate does not mean that the kang does not need a plate, the people here have that kind of mud kang at home, and Song Lingxue also feels that there is no need to buy a shelf bed, first, it is too expensive, and secondly, their family has to buy some new furniture, and the money to buy more things for a while is not enough.
But now it's not in a hurry, this building a house is not an overnight thing, not to mention it's complicated, Yao Dajiang listened to Song Lingxue's detailed explanation, frowned for a while and was surprised for a while, it seems that he also feels that such a new house is unheard of and unseen, but he is more interested, and he has a rush to try.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely build this house for you." Yao Dajiang said with some excitement that no matter what line of work he is, he is willing to challenge something new, which may be the so-called ingenuity.
"Well, I'll leave it to you." Song Lingxue said with a smile, and did not forget to praise: "Who in our village doesn't know that you have the best craftsmanship, and the houses you build are beautiful and familiar, even the next few villages have heard that there are many people who come to you to build houses." ”
"Hehe, it's all the folks who can afford it!" Yao Dajiang, a big man, was also praised and a little embarrassed.
"There are still a few days to harvest the wheat, I will take a few people to dig a baseline while the ground is wet, and when the farm is busy, it will officially start!"
Song Lingxue also knew what Yao Dajiang said that even if the villagers knew that this year's harvest was not good, they would still be mainly busy with family affairs, and they could only wait for the end of the farm to officially start, but I heard Yao Dajiang say that an ordinary rural yard is two or three months at most, and her house is a little more complicated, at least half a year, but if there are more people, four or five months is also possible.
Song Lingxue didn't speak, she glanced at Yao Dazhuang, in front of outsiders, she still can't be too decisive as a woman, and give men some face appropriately, so that's right, although as a modern woman, she despises this, but in this era, she has to be flexible.
Zhou Bing had been silent before, listening to this woman talk about the house rhetorically, with confidence and a trace of imperceptible pride on her face, she was slightly moved in her heart, and there was a feeling that if this woman was given a broader world, she would spread her wings and fly high like an egret.
At this time, I didn't expect her to look at him again, as if she was asking for his opinion, Zhou Bing didn't notice that the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and then he said: "Let's have more people, try to build it as soon as possible, and don't bother more." ”
When Yao Dajiang heard this, he spoke again: "I can find people, but I can't help you reduce the price in terms of wages, after all, they all work with me often, and they all know the wages." ”
"Don't worry about this, it's what it should be." Although Zhou Bing hasn't thought of a way to make money for the time being, it doesn't mean that he will be stingy because of this.
