Today is the last house Qu Xiaoqi left, the village chief's house.

As for why she ended up going to the village chief's house, it was because she had something to do with the village chief.

Half a month ago, Aunt Caifeng and Qu Xiaoqi went to the city to discuss the matter of burning bricks in the house, the bricks of the house over there are almost burned, and now it is necessary to get the prototype of the house in a hurry before the farm.

When Qu Xiaoqi showed the very simple design drawings to the contractor foreman, the foreman almost didn't bare out of his eyes.

It's no wonder that Qu Xiaoqi's painting is ugly, it's that the foreman has never seen this kind of design, how many green bricks do you need for such a big house?

When he heard that Qu Xiaoqi was from Linxi Village, the foreman was a little suspicious that Qu Xiaoqi had come to defraud, don't work in vain at that time, and he didn't make any money.

Qu Xiaoqi still remembers the foreman's words at that time, and the original words were, "I said you, little lady, I also once followed the master to build a house for a large family in the capital, but I have never built a house like you." And what you are talking about water diversion is simply a fantasy. Your drawings are also unclear, so you might as well dig a well in the yard! But what you said, dig a hole in the ground of the room, and then connect it to the stove, this is no problem, I can get this. It's the first time I've met an employer like you, and I don't know how to draw a design drawing, but the idea in my head is really good, but it's a bit mysterious. This can't solve the problem of water, I can't get what you said to lead the dung, you think about how to build your thatched house, and then I will get it for you, if you want me to say, this thatched house can't be connected with the house, and then it will ...... How do you get it, do you say? ”

At that time, Qu Xiaoqi was embarrassed, in fact, she simply said that if she could get it, it would be the best, and if she couldn't get it, she felt that it was reasonable.

At least the heating problem is solved, and when the time comes, as soon as the charcoal is burned in winter, they will not have to worry about whether it is cold or not.

Although you can't wear a single dress in a heated home in the modern north, at least you don't have to spend all day in the bed.

Especially Qu Xiaoqi's cold-sensitive body, she really suffered a lot this winter.

The most terrible thing was the time when she went to Qingguo and fell into the water, although Meng Yuqing protected her body with internal force, but she still remembers the biting cold when she touched the water.

By the way, she hasn't opened the package of the things Meng Yuqing gave her during the New Year, and she is mainly angry with Meng Yuqing.

The thing was put by Aunt Caifeng by her, and it didn't look big, Qu Xiaoqi thought that it should be something like a jade pendant.

She wasn't interested in that thing, mainly because she was afraid that someone would rob her with her.

But when I touch it, it doesn't look like a jade pendant, and it's not too round.

Getting back to business, now Qu Xiaoqi has come to the front of the village chief's house, mainly because the matter of building a house still needs to be adjusted by the village chief. There is a shortage of people at the foreman, but there are not many shortages, so he just hopes that Qu Xiaoqi will find a dozen or so people to help him.

After all, those people don't know much about this aspect, mainly because they are afraid of too many people, and they are clumsy and prone to accidents.

Another reason is that building a house is a self-made craft, and you can't let people learn it, right?

If it weren't for the fact that the house built by Qu Xiaoqi was not small, and the deposit given was enough, the foreman would not have been able to agree to Qu Xiaoqi's proposal.

Bringing someone? Joke! How can anyone learn their craft in vain?

This time, Qu Xiaoqi also deliberately brought the four treasures of the study, and even brought one from Aunt Caifeng's basket.

Both of them prepare the same thing, so it looks good this way.

When the village chief saw Qu Xiaoqi coming, he greeted him with a smile, and it was rare that he didn't put on a score.

"I heard Xiaoqi that you followed the people in the village before, now it's good to walk around more, maybe in the future, the people in the village will be able to help you."

As soon as the village chief opened his mouth, he said this kind of thing, which was another secret warning to Qu Xiaoqi, don't let her forget that she is from Linxi Village, and don't forget Linxi Village if there are benefits.

Thinking that the people in this village can indeed help themselves in the future, at least Aunt Caifeng of this braised meat business has invited several women in the village, and Qu Xiaoqi is too lazy to bother with the village chief.

This village chief looks like this, looking righteous and awe-inspiring for the sake of the village, but in fact, it is mixed with selfishness.

"Thank you village chief, I really have something to ask the village people to do when I came here this time, didn't I come to you directly?"

These words made the village chief's facial expression freeze for a moment, and he didn't expect Qu Xiaoqi to be the master of the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. You must know that Qu Xiaoqi didn't come to greet himself for the New Year, so he wouldn't have gone out to greet him just now.

"You can say something, but what do you need the people in the village to do for you?" After thinking about it, if Qu Xiaoqi let himself organize the population again, then he would definitely have a high status in the village, so he continued to keep a smile on his face.

"Well, I want to build the house before it's time to farm. The foreman has been found, and he said that there is still a shortage of eleven or twelve people, so let me find all the people in the village, and with the help of the people in the village, it can be built faster, right? ”

Hearing that Qu Xiaoqi was going to build a house, the village chief was not too surprised, after all, Qu Xiaoqi's house was really uninhabitable.

I know that this is a bricklayer's work, a rare craft, but unfortunately it takes about a dozen people.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to me, I'll find someone for you."

"Thank you, village chief."

It's just that Qu Xiaoqi didn't expect that there would be some small accidents in this matter handled by the village chief.

There were about thirty men under the foreman's hand, and one of them came with some green bricks, plus two ox carts, which really exploded in the village.

That's a brick! Who in the village is willing to build a house out of green bricks? Not to mention that there are still so many green bricks!

There are already many people in the village who already know that Qu Xiaoqi is going to build a house, after all, when the village chief goes to find someone, they more or less know some information.

It's just that they don't know that what Qu Xiaoqi wants to build is a blue brick house! This is something that only the big families in the city have built!

For a while, the crowd began to chatter, and many people were already discussing how much money Qu Xiaoqi had earned.

To be honest, when Qu Xiaoqi returned to the bed to make a budget, his heart was dripping blood, which was too expensive!

More than half of her savings have to be handed over, not including the cost of food.

The people the foreman is looking for are all coming in the morning and going back at night, after all, some green bricks will be transported every day, otherwise the progress will be delayed by just transporting the green bricks.

When Qu Xiaoqi saw the people arranged by the village chief, he felt a pain for the first time, these are some fourteen or fifteen-year-old half-grown children?

How can an adult man have great strength?

Seeing that Qu Xiaoqi's expression was not good, the village chief hurriedly smiled and said, "These half-grown children ask for less copper money, and some of them will give you a meal, and they can work for you for free." ”

This is a good thing to say, Qu Xiaoqi felt a little powerless, and said: "It's not up to me to say whether it's okay or not, it depends on whether the foreman accepts it or not." ”

Hearing Qu Xiaoqi say this, the village chief felt that his face was not very good-looking, so he didn't continue to speak, but followed Qu Xiaoqi with some dissatisfaction and continued to walk to the foreman.

Now the weather is not warm, Qu Xiaoqi's clothes are very thick, and even Zeng Miaoya is wrapped round, and the two of them are like balls.

This is also a symbol of wealth in the eyes of the villagers, and there are very few people in the village who can wear so much cotton.

Aunt Caifeng also has to take care of the pigsty, and she really can't spare time to help with the construction of the house here. said that he said hello to a few women and asked them to go to the house before noon to help Qu Xiaoqi prepare meals, and the construction site provided two meals, mainly because there were many people, and Qu Xiaoqi himself must be too busy.

Aunt Caifeng's work Qu Xiaoqi is naturally relieved, but she is a little uneasy along the way, mainly because of the few little children who follow her.

Although his body is only a year or two older than them?

But there are two of them who look twelve or thirteen years old, and the people in this village have come out too early to work, right?

But these little guys all had happy looks on their faces, and they followed Qu Xiaoqi honestly.

The foreman originally smiled at the generous Qu Xiaoqi, but when he saw more than a dozen children behind Qu Xiaoqi, his face sank on the spot.

His face was as heavy as a bald donkey.

Qu Xiaoqi sneered, and didn't know how to explain, but the foreman spoke, "Master, what you do is not authentic, if these children follow us to work, according to our rules, they can ask for a hundred copper plates a day!" If you can't afford it, leave as soon as possible, do you think anyone of us can accept us as apprentices? ”

This is indeed unkind, the foreman has a temper, otherwise he would not have been reduced to live in Fengshui City.

said that he was disabled, but in fact, that disability did not affect his work at all, mainly because he offended people who should not be offended, and was sent back.

Others are not bad, that is, this mouth is not liked, otherwise there are more than 30 people under his hands.

This time, Qu Xiaoqi was even more speechless, and the face of the village chief who followed behind was also red and white, and it seemed that he was angry enough.

After all, those teenagers rarely had a calm temperament, and when they heard the foreman say a hundred copper coins, they immediately flinched a little.

A few of them have already run away, and they don't save face for the village chief at all.

These people are all children of the village chief's relatives, even if he loses face, he can't say anything, he can only suffer this dumb loss.

Qu Xiaoqi watched the child run away, she was also a little embarrassed, she knew that it was better not to trouble the village chief, she saw everything in the people in this village, it was better for her to invite someone herself.

Originally, I wanted the village chief to come forward, but the rest of the people who were not selected were not easy to pick and choose, right? Who knew that at the critical moment, the village chief said that if he dropped the chain, he would drop the chain.
