In the afternoon, Steward Qi came to visit as promised.

In the house, Nie Yaoyao returned the house construction drawings of Steward Qi to him, and showed him the drawings of the new house he had made.

Nie Yaoyao: "Manager Qi, this is the selection of the new house configuration and some building materials that I thought of in the past few days, do you see if there is anything that needs to be improved?"

Steward Qi listened to it, picked up Nie Yaoyao's drawings and studied them carefully.

After a long time, Steward Qi's pair of eyebrows slowly frowned, and he stared at the drawings with puzzled eyes: "Mrs. Nie, your design...... It's really new and interesting, it's the first time I've seen a latrine in the countryside built in the backyard, and it's so close to the house, so that no smell wafts into the house? Also What is this? Why is there a stool-like thing in the latrine, is it a chair? ”

Nie Yaoyao curled her lips and smiled, she pointed to the drawings and explained: "You see it right, the function of this chair I drew is actually similar to that of the Gong chair, you can just sit on it when you go to the toilet." Connect a downward inclined pipe made of masonry to the bottom of it, and then dig a pit for filth far outside the house, so that when people go to the toilet, the filth can slide directly down the pipe into the pit, and then rinse it with clean water, so that there will be no filth in the hut, and there will be no peculiar smell. ”

God knows how much she has been tormented in going to the toilet in the past few days.

In ancient times, the toilet in the village was a hut made of wood or even straw, and then a large pit was dug in the ground, and a large vat was placed in it, and then two strong planks were added to the edge of the tank, and a gap was left between the two planks for going to the toilet.

In fact, it is not much of a problem to be tired from squatting to the toilet, the key is that she really can't stand the swarming flies and the smell of smoking people every time she goes to the toilet, and it really seriously affects her mood every time she goes to the toilet.

That's why she combined modern technology and put a lot of effort into making these adjustments in the toilet.

After listening to Nie Yaoyao's introduction, Steward Qi was a little dumbfounded in disbelief.

He didn't expect that he had been dealing with the house for most of his life, and now he heard such a novel and wonderful latrine design from a half-grown girl.

For a while, the thinking was still a little unable to keep up.

You must know that even the thatched toilets in the homes of dignitaries and dignitaries are similar to the thatched toilets in this village, but they can be built more sturdy and gorgeous, and people need to clean up the filth in the latrines every day to barely remove the odor.

If Nie Yaoyao's idea can really be realized, it will be to raise the technical level of building houses for these craftsmen, and more people will definitely come to them to build houses, and the silver they earn will also increase.

Steward Qi couldn't help but admire: "Mrs. Nie, this idea of yours is really unprecedented, if it can be successfully made, it will definitely be favored by many people!"

The two chatted about some details again, and Nie Yaoyao finalized that her new house was going to officially start, and from tomorrow Steward Qi would lead the craftsmen and workers to build the new house.

In the early morning of the erection day, Uncle Yang's grapes were delivered, and the other members of the Wang family were stunned for a moment when they saw Nie Yaoyao buy two carts full of grapes.

Wang Yongquan looked at Nie Yaoyao's nouveau riche behavior, and a disdainful look flashed in his eyes.

Wang Yongquan: "Mother, I'm afraid that this mourning star hasn't eaten grapes in his life?" If you buy so much, you won't be afraid to die! ”

Sun smacked on the ground, "If you have money, you can squander it, Brother Quan, just look at it, according to her method, the family will be defeated sooner or later, little cheap hoof, it is easy to take the hard-earned money of our few rooms!" ”

Saying that, she remembered the two families who came to the door yesterday to say goodbye, and she didn't feel a lot happier in her heart, she took Wang Yongquan's hand and entered the house, and said: "Brother Quan, my mother discussed with your father last night, and I still think that it is good for you to marry a girl from the Yu family, although the Huang family is rich, it is a merchant family that cannot be on the table, you will definitely be able to lift people this time, and if you can help with the relatives of the county princess at that time, wouldn't it be the icing on the cake?"

Hearing this, Wang Yongquan shook his sleeves in disgust, "Our county master is only eight grades, and he is not a high-ranking official, so you don't have the knowledge to think it's good to be in such a hurry." ”

After hearing this, Sun also felt that what his son said made sense, "Yes, but son, it is good for you to marry this girl from the Yu family before you finish your studies, and when you are developed, won't we divorce and marry again?" ”

Wang Yongquan thought in his heart that the little goblin Mei'er he had recently met in the Xianchun Pavilion really didn't have any interest in the twenty-year-old girl of the Yu family who was suffering from a serious illness.

He said perfunctorily: "Okay, listen to my mother."

Wang Yongquan thought about the empty purse he had recently comforted Mei'er, coughed dryly, and said, "Mother, let's not talk about this for a while, recently Yaguge has produced a particularly useful sable pen, and the other students in the academy have bought it, mother, can you buy one for me too?"

Sun Shi did everything in his reading, and immediately nodded, "Okay, the pen is good, you can write well, my mother bought it for you, how much does the sable pen sell?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Yongquan's heart blossomed, but he said with a serious face: "The sable pen is a little expensive, and it costs five taels of silver."

"Five taels of silver?! Obediently, why is the pen so expensive?! More expensive than the pair of gold earrings I bought years ago! Sun's eyes widened in surprise when he heard this.

Wang Yongquan pretended to look regretful, "It's a little expensive, mother, or forget it, I won't buy it, I still have a few brushes to use, and I can use them alive." ”

Sun's heart was distressed when she heard this, she gritted her teeth, "It's okay, our family will pay back a few taels of silver, your study is a big deal, your mother will buy it for you, you wait for your mother to go and get you silver." ”

Wang Yongquan was so happy that he immediately flattered: "Mother is so good."

Soon, Sun took ten taels of silver out and sent it to Wang Yongquan, "Mother will give you ten taels, you go buy two sable pens, study hard, you will be a high-ranking official in the future, you can't be too cold." ”

Wang Yongquan looked at the ten taels of silver in his palm: "Mother, don't worry, if your son becomes a high-ranking official in time, he will not forget his mother's support for many years, I have thought about my son, and I will buy you a big courtyard with eight openings in the future, so that you can be the most decent and magnificent housewife!"

When Sun heard these words, he was immediately overjoyed, as if he had seen the scene of his son being served by a dozen servants after high school.

Here Nie Xiaoyao received the grapes that he had been thinking about.

She, Aunt Li, and Jia Shun picked the grapes and cleaned them, smashed them and poured them into a stone jar with rock sugar in a ratio of six to one and sealed them, and the wine was preliminarily completed, and it could be opened and tasted after a month of brewing.
