Shen troubled the old man to invite the lacquer craftsman, the lacquer craftsman's salary is piecework, because the lacquer is only available in his house, good furniture should be painted five or six times, so the price of a bed is eight hundred yuan, the window frames at home are done, the doors are also done, and the wooden planks on the roof should also be painted twice with varnish.

Time flickered and at the end of the month, when Zeng Ruixiang entered the house, Master Xu had already made two complete beds, and now he was making dining tables and chairs, the Eight Immortals table with eight small chairs, all of which were carved, Ziqing felt a little Ming and Qing style, but to be honest, she didn't know much about it, she just liked it very much.

Master Xu's apprentice also made ten piers with ordinary wood at home and made a large round tabletop, all of which were simple, and later they were all received by the Shen family, that is, in the room to the west of the inverted seat. Shen said that the houses on both sides of the inverted seat are not inhabited for the time being, the east side is used to pile up grain, the west side is used to pile up sundries, and the wooden house is used to put farm tools and raise chickens, and in the future, pigs will be raised. Because Ziqing thinks that the smell of pigs in the new house is really bad.

The first bed has been moved into the house, the second is still drying in the small yard, Ziqing saw that the lacquer master Li moved in during the day when there was a sun, and in the afternoon the sun set or cloudy before moving out to blow the wind, the doors and windows of the house have been completed, and the last paint is being applied, Master Xu's apprentice has also walked one, and the other Xiao Liu is making cupboards in the stove room.

The cupboard is a set of low cabinets and high cabinets in a modern integrated kitchen, which can save a lot of space and look much neater, of course, this is Ziqing's idea, Ziqing still used a branch to compare with Xiao Liu for a long time, and after figuring it out, Xiao Liu said that it was very simple and easy to do. It looks like I should be able to move into my new home in about ten days.

When Ziqing saw her father come back, she thought that it was the end of October, and the potatoes hadn't been dug yet, and she had just taken care of the furniture these days, helping the Shen family grow vegetables and cook rice, and she really didn't think of the potatoes.

Ziqing hurriedly took a small hoe and went to dig it, and it grew bigger than the last one, which seemed to be a bumper harvest. Ziqing happily pulled Shen to look at it.

Zeng Ruixiang didn't have to go to the field this time, the wheat and rape were planted by Zeng Ruiyu, Zeng Ruixiang took the family to spend three days to clean the potatoes, and saw the potatoes piled up like a mountain, the old man was stunned, this yield is too high. The old man took some back to eat, and said that he would also send some to Chunyu's family, and Shen asked the old man to find Mr. Feng Shui to calculate when it would be appropriate to move.

Before Zeng Ruixiang left, Master Xu said that the eight chairs and six coffee tables in the hall, as well as the long table and the eight immortal tables, were best made of mahogany.

Zeng Ruixiang said: "The original material money is fifty taels, if you deduct the materials for the hall furniture, it shouldn't be one hundred taels, right?" Or, I'll add a hundred taels, you make me two more nanmu screens, make six, and then make six camphor boxes, and don't want all camphor wood, fir wood and camphor wood, how about it? I know you have some stock. ”

Unexpectedly, Master Xu readily agreed. You must know that one hundred taels of silver is enough for an ordinary farmer to live for twenty years, and a city family with a simple population can also live for more than ten years, so Master Xu didn't expect that the good wood he had accumulated would finally sell this time, and he was happier than anyone else.

Ziqing calculated that the family's silver was not enough, and she was afraid that the Shen family would be in a hurry, so she hurried to find the shopkeeper Zhou to get rid of it.

Shen went to the city to find the shopkeeper Zhou, because it was a good thing that had already been said, the next day the shopkeeper Zhou personally brought someone to pull, it took four or five trips to pull it out, and after weighing a accumulation, there were more than 5,800 catties, and the family sold 5,000 catties, and the rest were seeded or eaten or given away.

Shopkeeper Zhou said that now they can only get three wen and one catty, because they will only sell out for four wen and one catty, and Shen agreed and received fifteen taels of silver.

Shopkeeper Zhou also brought a small gift to Ziqing this time, it was a small glass mirror, Ziqing was very surprised, asked where it came from, and said that it was brought by an overseas ship. "Is there a piece the size of a window?" Ziqing asked.

"Yes, the owner has it at home, but it is very expensive, and the owner said that there is such a workshop in Yuecheng, and it was a master who was invited from overseas at a high price to open a workshop."

"Does the shopkeeper know how much silver taels will cost the size of a window?"

"It's not very clear, I'm going to go back and ask the owner, and I'll tell you next time you come to the city. But, little girl, your house is well built. Shopkeeper Zhou said with a smile.

"The countryside is worthless, thanks to Shopkeeper Zhou." Shen quickly took over the conversation and thanked him.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, my family still has a batch of green garlic and parsley a year ago, do you want it?" Ziqing wants to be more valuable if she can cultivate garlic, but unfortunately she won't. However, the garlic sprouts should be able to draw some out.

"Yes, our host sends New Year's gifts to the capital every year, take the official road faster, there is a shortage of vegetables in the north in winter, and I often bring some vegetables here, and you will notify us when the time comes. Don't forget that the dozens of steers also want it, our old lady said, it doesn't taste the same as other chickens. ”

"Shopkeeper Zhou, you are simply a noble person in our family, don't worry, we will keep ten, and you can take the rest." Shen said. It seems that it needs to be raised more.

When everyone else left, Shen said to Ziqing: "It's still appropriate to plant this, one acre of land can have an income of five taels of silver in one season, which is much better than planting wheat and rice." ”

Ziqing hurriedly said: "I heard that the south side has arranged to plant three crops a year. However, our family grows to make money, there will be more and more people around, the price will definitely drop, such a high-yield thing can not always be sold at such a high price, now because of the scarcity is expensive, so take advantage of the high price to sell, our family has a variety of points. ”

"How do you know? I notice that you're talking more and more like a little adult. Shen looked at Ziqing suspiciously.

Oops, I didn't pay attention to the wording, Ziqing hurriedly smiled and pulled Shen's shirt and said: "Mother, you didn't pay attention to listen to the shopkeeper Zhou, I heard it when he talked to the guys, he said that he could still sell five wen in the first half of the year, and now he can only sell four wen, isn't it because there are more people?" ”

Shen pondered for a moment and said, "That's not the reason, so we can sell four wen in the first half of the year, but now we can only sell three wen." I said that you know this as a small man, it turns out that you have listened to others. It seems that listening to other people's gossip is not necessarily all bad. ”

Ziqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, just when the old man entered the door, Ziqing thought it was good that he didn't see the Shen family sell fifteen taels of silver. The old man said, the feng shui master counts, the eighth day of November is a good day, you can move.

Shen thought that there would be only a few days left on the eighth day of the new year, and if he waited any longer, the weather would be really cold. So, Shen took Zilu to the city a few times, and there were a lot of things to buy, cotton, quilts, fabrics, and white cotton paper pasting windows, dishes and chopsticks this time I picked some delicate ones, and actually bought a casserole, two braziers, etc., and spent more than one or two silver, mainly cotton and cloth.

Ziqing saw that her mother was busy, and she definitely couldn't think of what to do when the potato field at home was idle. Ziqing pondered or sprinkled rapeseed, and pinched the tender strips as vegetables to sell during the New Year, especially after the New Year, the people in the city wanted to eat a refreshing vegetable, and after pinching the tender strips, they just turned the ground over, and used the remaining rape to fertilize the land, and they just planted watermelons during the break.

After thinking about it, Ziqing mentioned it to Shen, but this time she paid attention to the way and skills of speaking. Shen looked at it, the ground didn't need to be turned over anymore, and he sprinkled the rapeseed after a little leveling, and he didn't plan to have a harvest, but it would save trouble.
