Volume 1 Chapter 56
When Ding Dazhuang heard this, he immediately put his eyes on his sister, and asked Ding Xiaoran with his eyes if it was what she said.
"Big brother, Miss Xi's parents are no longer there, she can call the shots." Ding Xiaoran nodded towards his eldest brother and said.
"Oh, I see, girl, I'm sorry." He didn't expect things to be like this, and he didn't know if he had offended people just now, and when the business came to the door, he actually pushed it out, and his face became a little worse.
"It doesn't matter. You don't know about my family, so it's normal to think like that. Qiao Xi waved his hand, not taking it seriously.
"Hey...... Hey......" Ding Dazhuang could only respond embarrassedly.
Seeing that his father was a little unable to get off the stage, Ding Fugui smiled and diverted the topic, "What style does the girl want to build?" "This is also a routine, although the farmer's house is easy to build, but it cannot be said that everyone is the same, and there will be some people with special ideas who want a different house.
"I don't know if I can wait a little longer, and when everyone arrives, I will say it together." Qiao Xi said euphemistically.
"Anyone hasn't arrived?" Ding Fugui looked at his aunt and mother.
"Yes, yes, and Ding Xing, your sister went to call someone." Yuan hurriedly answered his son's question.
"Then just wait." Ding Fugui thought of Ding Xing's craftsmanship and roughly guessed something, so he sat aside and waited with everyone.
They didn't wait long, Ding Xing was also called by Ding Fugui's sister, made a simple introduction, and after saying hello, Qiao Xi handed the drawings he had drawn before to Ding Fugui and Ding Xing.
"Two Uncle Ding, see if you can understand the drawings in your hands, I want to build the house like this, and the furniture in the house is like that." After finishing speaking, Qiao Xi looked at the two of them.
After the two got the drawings, they looked at them carefully, and after a long time, Ding Xing opened his mouth first, because he was doing carpentry work, which was relatively simple, and the furniture on the drawings was not very difficult.
"The furniture on this picture is fine, I can make it, but if I am alone, the progress will be slow, I wonder if there is any time limit for the girl?" Ding Xing raised his own question, his ability alone is limited, if he is in a hurry, he will definitely not be able to complete it.
"There are no special requirements in terms of time, I just hope that the furniture can be put in place before moving in, so will it be rushed?" Qiao Xi said his thoughts.
"I'm afraid it's a bit too late, but I have an apprentice, and his skills are very good, if the two of us do it together, it's about the same, but he has a bit of a problem at home?" Ding Xing was a little embarrassed to speak.
"If Uncle Ding has any problems, just say it directly, and see if I can solve it?" Qiao Xi said it very directly.
Ding Xing saw that although Qiao Xi was a little girl, she was very cheerful in doing things and talking, so she didn't twist and said directly: "There is no one in my apprentice's family, after marrying a daughter-in-law, I can't conceive for a long time, I only gave birth to a child three years ago, but when I gave birth to a child, hey, ......" Speaking of this, Ding Xing sighed and continued: "But the child's mother is a blessed one, when she gave birth to a child, she had a difficult birth, and the person was gone, leaving only the child, and my apprentice no longer took care of the child in order to be able to take good care of the child. These years have been tight, if he is called over to do things together, his children will ~~~~" He didn't finish the last words.
Qiao Xi is such a smart person, and immediately understood the meaning of Ding Xing's words, "What you mean is that if he comes, he must bring the child with him." ”
"Yes." Ding Xing nodded hurriedly. He knew how slim and abrupt his hope of saying this was, and he knew that there was no one who hired workers, and those who were willing to come to work had a child, but he really wanted to help his apprentice, and his apprentice was living too hard and bitter this life.
Qiao Xi smiled, but it was just a child, bring it over, as long as she could do her job well, "This is no problem, if he is willing to come, you can let him take the child with him, there are people in my family, it doesn't hurt to help bring it." ”
"Okay, good, it's really good, thank you, Miss Qiao, I'll go tell him." Ding Xing was very excited, he didn't expect this Qiao girl to really agree, thank her, turn around and leave. And he himself didn't realize that the series of conversations he had just had were all about talking to a nine-year-old girl, and the people around him were also suppressed by the momentum released by Qiao Xi, and their hearts were extremely shocked.
Ding Xing left to inform his apprentice, Qiao Xi set his eyes on Ding Fugui, "Uncle Ding, is there something you don't understand?" She knows that the carpentry work is much simpler, and the drawings are relatively easy to understand, but Ding Fugui's is different, it is normal to have something that she can't understand, like the bathroom, the toilet is her improvement according to the Celestial Empire, she doesn't want to go to the toilet in the middle of the night and have to come out of the house, run to the black thatched house, the thatched house is also that kind of smelly type, the winter can still bear, in the summer, snakes, insects, rats, ants, flies and mosquitoes are very numerous, and the thatched pit is the most concentrated place, think about her goosebumps. Since the house is going to be built, these two places must be reorganized.
"Yes, yes, Miss Qiao, look here, here, and here~~~~" After Ding Fugui looked at the whole picture, his hands began to tremble, it was the first time he had seen such a house, if it was built for the absolute first time, there were still several places that he didn't understand very well, so he pointed to those places and asked,
Qiao Xi explained them to him one by one, and Ding Fugui suddenly realized that it was so simple, but he was thinking a little complicated just now. And with these places, it's really too convenient. Another day, he will also rectify the thatched house at home.
"Miss Qiao, your drawings are good, I wonder if you can sell them to me." The people who build the house are very enthusiastic about this, with such drawings, he can make a lot of money in the future, and there will definitely be people who are willing to live in such a house, how convenient it should be.
"Uncle, this drawing is not for sale. If you really want it, you don't make a single business and give me a percent, do you think it's okay? She knows the value of this drawing, and it is not surprising that Ding Fugui can look at it, but she will not be stupid enough to make money without making money, right?
Ding Fugui thought about the price of Yicheng, and felt that it was very feasible, and he felt that this Qiao girl didn't want much, so he agreed to it, "Okay, just do what you say, girl." We'll sign the contract later. "Building such a house can make much more money than now, and he is the only one who has mastered this technology, and others can't imitate it if they want to.
"Okay." Qiao Xi was also refreshing.
"Uncle, look at how much silver taels it will cost to build such a house." The most important thing now is to deal with the current dilemma first, and wait until all the vegetables and watermelons are broken, and then build the remaining houses together.
"The light material of this house is about twenty taels." Ding Fugui has done too much of this kind of work, and many of them can come to a conclusion as long as they estimate.
"Okay, here are twenty taels, buy materials and everything will be handed over to the uncle, everyone who comes to work, each person will have thirty wen a day, and they will eat at noon. Uncle, you see when we can start work, and I will let people prepare a start meal. ”
"Three days, in three days, I'll bring someone over to build you a house." It takes about a long time to buy materials and get your own workman brothers together.
"Okay, I'll wait for you in Qiaojia Village in three days." Before leaving, Ding Fugui and Qiao Xi also wrote a contract for the construction of a house, and the two parties pressed their handprints, each held a copy, and after finishing the business, Qiao Xi took Grandma Ding back to Qiaojia Village.
After returning to Qiaojia Village, Qiao Xi visited a few more houses, so that they could come to the house three days later to help cook, fifteen yuan per person.
Hearing that there is a salary to take, these families should come down happily, no one's life is easy, they can earn a little is a little, fifteen wen makes a lunch, and it is definitely earned.
Qiao Xi found a total of ten people, and on the day of the start of the dinner, these ten people were handed over to Narcissus for distribution.
When she returned home, Qiao Xi was greeted with delicious meals, as well as good news about buying wasteland, and probably tomorrow she would have an extra eight acres of land deeds in her hands.
Three acres of wasteland will come to Grandpa Lin's house tomorrow to open up the wasteland for her, and when the land is opened, the types of vegetables she wants to plant will increase, which is really a green and beautiful scenery.
Originally, it was said that they didn't care about food, but now that they are building a house, Qiao Xi decided to let them eat together, so as not to be talked about favoritism.
Three days passed quickly, Ding Fugui and his brothers came to the door early with green bricks, Qiao Xi gave them the approximate place, let them build according to the drawings, and handed over the task of supervising the construction of the house to Peony and Rose, and he took Furong and the three of them to the town.
There are a lot of people, the things at home are definitely not enough, pots and pans to buy, meat is also a big purchase, the people who work are most taboo about oil and water, the oil and water are enough, and the work can be strong, so this time she bought all the fatty meat, the owner of the butcher shop smiled and blossomed, Qiao Xi alone wrapped the meat in his shop, the boss was also atmospheric, and gave all the pig bones to Qiao Xi for free, the owner of this butcher shop is also familiar with Qiao Xi, as long as Qiao Xi buys meat, he will definitely go to him, and he will be cooked when he comes and goes, also knows that Qiao Xi likes pork bones.
After buying these, I went to the rice grain shop again, bought a large amount of rice oil noodles, stuffed the carriage to the brim, and returned to Qiaojia Village.
