27 Build a house
Luo Xiaoni likes to cook, she changes her way to make new dishes every day, plus Luo Xiaoqiao's material bag to enhance the flavor, the vegetable buns can be made with fresh flavor, and the latest pickles are pickled, not to mention how crispy they are, even Luo Xiaoqiao likes to eat so much, he can't pick out the thorns.
The family is happy every day, this kind of sunrise and sunset day, Luo Xiaoni feels quite satisfied, but it is not in line with Luo Xiaoqiao's impatience.
"Grandpa, if it goes on like this, after the wheat is harvested, let's build a house and build a workshop." Luo Xiaoqiao mentioned it while eating.
Grandpa Luo frowned, starting a house is a big deal.
But thinking of the hundreds of taels of silver in the house, as well as the daily income, I also have the confidence that Luo Niuniu will have to marry a daughter-in-law in the future, even if Xiao Qiao and Xiao Ni marry outside, they are their own people before they get married, and they have a few big houses, which is worth it.
"Okay, get the house", Grandpa Luo had a sincere smile on his dark face.
"Grandpa, you have to find the village chief, we have to buy the foundation, seeing that the wheat harvest is about to end, the time to build a house is just right", Luo Xiaoqiao said while drinking millet porridge.
"I'll go in the evening." Grandpa Luo said happily that he now feels full of strength, and his life is very rushing.
Luo Xiaoqiao looked at his red face and couldn't help but be a little funny.
Ming Yi and Ming Er were in their village, they found someone to live in, and they came to help if they had nothing to do, the two men didn't talk much, but the people in the village didn't dare to underestimate them, and when they looked at them, they were faintly afraid of the Luo family.
"Do you want to buy land and build a house? Do you want to build a workshop? Luo Jinrong felt a little foggy when he heard this, this Luo family, got up too fast, one after another, he didn't know how to pick it up.
"Jin Rong, you have also seen that my house is small, and it is about to collapse, so I want to start a house and build a small workshop by the way." Grandpa Luo said according to Luo Xiaoqiao's teaching.
The village chief nodded again and again, "In terms of land, which piece are you going to buy?" ”。
"We live in the southernmost part of the village, and I plan to buy the southernmost foundation from east to west, I don't know how to count those wastelands?" Grandpa Luo asked.
"Isn't that a dry pond? That piece can't do anything, it's not expensive. An acre of land is about two taels of silver. The village chief replied.
"There is still a piece of wasteland to the west of our village, what about that one." Grandpa Luo continued to speak.
"It's the same price," said the village chief.
Grandpa Luo took a deep breath and finally said Luo Xiaoqiao's request: "My family wants a hundred acres"
"How much? A hundred acres? Have you figured it out? It was wasteland. Luo Jinrong's jaw dropped in surprise. One hundred acres, that's two hundred taels of silver.
"Yes, a hundred acres." Grandpa Luo gritted his teeth and said.
He actually didn't want so much, but Luo Xiaoqiao insisted, anyway, the money was earned by Xiao Qiao, she said, it made sense, and he just followed it.
Luo Jinrong saw that Grandpa Luo's attitude was very resolute, so he said ruthlessly, "Okay, tomorrow, I will go to the yamen to run for you and measure the land and transfer the ownership." ”
"Jin Rong, I won't say anything else, after you look at it, our village will definitely be able to get up."
Grandpa Luo never likes to talk big, and saying it at this time makes Luo Jinrong down-to-earth for no reason.
The news that the Luo family was going to build a house reached Steward Hu, naturally Ming Yi and Ming Er did it, and the next day, Hu Jindong brought a Master Sun over.
"My surname is Sun, and I am known as Master Sun." Someone said.
"He is a well-known house-builder in Xingcheng." Steward Hu added.
"Let's come in and talk." Luo Xiaoqiao said to Master Sun.
"Okay." When Master Sun came, he knew that he would build a house for the farmer. To tell the truth, he is not very happy, the kind of earthen house in the countryside is small and simple, let him come, it is simply a lot of money and a small use, it is not worth his hand at all, but if he talks about things, he is not good to lose face at all.
"This is the house I'm going to build." Luo Xiaoqiao bought a lot of paper in the past two days, and pushed the finished drawings over, "Look at it, I want to build ten rooms, how much does it cost?" ”
Ten rooms? The Luo family all looked at her with some confusion.
Luo Xiaoqiao didn't speak.
"Wonderful." Master Sun was immediately attracted by the drawings. "I'll do the math."
Luo Xiaoqiao waited quietly.
"The yard you want is a bit complicated, and you need a hundred taels of silver." Master Sun said.
"I also have a few workshops, and I also have to install water and water." Luo Xiaoqiao said.
"What is water supply and discharge?" Master Sun asked in surprise.
"It's a pipe that automatically turns on water when taking a bath, washes vegetables and rinses and flows away automatically." Luo Xiaoqiao replied.
"And something like that?"
"Yes, for example, when the kitchen cooks, you don't need to pour water yourself, it flows directly down the pipe, and when the thatched house is finished, it is also washed away directly, saving more flies and insects in summer. After the manure is fermented, it can also be recycled. ”
Luo Xiaoqiao is really fed up with the simple toilet and the flies flying all over the sky.
"Can it really be done?"
Luo Xiaoqiao didn't speak in the face of his excited look, "I can give you the drawings, but you have to find a porcelain master to burn the pipes yourself, and you can't pass it on, you still need to sign an agreement." ”
When Master Sun heard this, he was stunned.
"If the master doesn't agree, we can do it ourselves, it's just a little troublesome, in fact, grandpa and the villagers can do it." Luo Xiaoqiao said with a smile.
"Well, if you can do what you say, I'll work with you. In the future, for each set of water and water, I will give you 20%. "Master Sun is also a powerful person, he didn't see anything, so he gave a promise first.
"Good. However, my family only gives the cost price, which should be used by you to practice. Luo Xiaoqiao said narrowly, "And let's sign the agreement first." ”
In the face of such a shrewd person, Master Sun really didn't know what to say. "Aren't you afraid that I will cut corners for you?"
"Don't be afraid, you are the person who was found by the Hu Steward, and I can trust the Hu Steward." Luo Xiaoqiao smiled.
Under the witness of the Hu steward, the village chief was brought in to prove that the two sides signed an agreement.
Luo Xiaoqiao took out the design of the water supply and handed it to him.
Master Sun took a look at it and immediately straightened his eyes, "Good, wonderful!" But it's a bit difficult. ”
"So you need a porcelain master to burn the pipeline."
Master Sun nodded, "This set of porcelain is not cheap to burn, to say the least, you have to add another fifty taels." ”
With this kind of drawing, and then there is this case, the big families will definitely be moved when they see it, and this transaction will definitely not be lost!
Luo Xiaoqiao now has a few hundred taels of silver in her hand, and she took a hundred taels of silver tickets and gave them to Master Sun, asking him to bring them into the material first.
"Xiao Qiao, what do you say is the matter with building ten rooms, there are not so many people in our family?" Grandpa Luo finally couldn't help but ask.
"One room for one person, there are not many people now, it is not good to say in the future, we don't have enough money now, let's build one first. When we have money, we will continue to build, anyway, my younger brother is still young, so we will live together for the time being, and when he marries, we will open the door separately. Luo Xiaoqiao replied.
Her words made the Luo family stupid all of a sudden, Luo Xiaoni didn't expect that her sister even counted her, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
The next day, a steady stream of horse-drawn carts and ox carts transported the green bricks to the wasteland under Luo Xiaoqiao's circle, and many people in the village came to watch with envy, and heard that it was the Luo family who was going to build a house, and they all boiled.
