Chapter Twenty-Seven: Buying Land, Buying Furniture

"Dad, I don't want to live too close to the people in the old house, and in the next three days, there will be a lot of trouble at both ends, and our family will not have to live, and the beasts are better than them."

Ye Jing's face was also red.

Ye Changrong and Ye Dashan looked at Ye Jing's embarrassment and didn't know how to comfort him.

Ye Shaoke directly ignored the embarrassment on her father's face, not that she didn't respect her father, but her father, who had been bunning for decades, really made her a little uneasy, and before she was sure that he was really dead, she would always beat this father.

"Uncle, it's good for us to buy the wasteland behind our house, and then it will be connected to the three acres of wasteland next door to our house."

Hearing that Ye Shao wanted to buy them all, the village chief and Ye Dashan were a little surprised.

"It's nothing, it's just that you can buy and plant so much wasteland, even if it's a lot of work to reclaim it?

Ye Dashan was also a little anxious beside him, he was older than all of them, he saw the beast attack the villagers with his own eyes when he was young, and he also stepped forward to help drive away the beast together, the danger at that time is still a little palpitating when he thinks of it now.

"That's right, what your uncle said is right, you can think about it again." Ye Dashan looked at Ye Shaoke with some worry.

"Grandpa, uncle, after I bought it, I fenced off all those wastelands and built courtyard walls, most of which were used to plant saplings, and it didn't take much trouble."

Ye Jing didn't speak, after all, the money was earned by his own daughter, and seeing that she also had an idea now, he didn't want to interject.

After hearing this, the village chief did not persuade him more.

"Okay, since you've made up your mind, then I won't persuade you, anyway, the courtyard wall should be built higher, so that it will be safe."

Ye Shaoke smiled mischievously with gratitude: "I know that the uncle and grandfather care about us, and I am also afraid of that beast, I must build the courtyard wall high."

"Hah! Ha! Ha! So we're relieved! Ye Dahe said with a smile.

"Brother Jing, no one dares to plant those wastelands there, the price should be cheaper than the wasteland in other places, I will go to the village to ask the people in those lands later, and I will go to your house tomorrow to measure you, there are about more than 20 acres there."

"Okay, then we'll buy them all." Ye Shaoke said.

"Okay, then it's decided, in fact, Xiao Ke's method is really good, we guys didn't think of the way to build a courtyard wall, or this little girl is excited."

Ye Dashan also praised Ye Shaoke, but she herself is also the kind with a thick skin, and she accepted it calmly after being praised so many times for a while, and she didn't show any signs of blushing, and the so-called shyness was all pretended.

"Uncle still has some questions, I also want to ask for advice."

"What do you say to ask for advice, the family is still so outside, just ask directly." Ye Dashan was dissatisfied with Ye Shaoke's politeness, took out the cigarette stick in his mouth and began to count the falls.

"Yes, yes, what grandpa said is, Xiao Ke will definitely change it next time." Ye Shaoke had no choice but to pretend to be obedient and make amends, looking hypocritical.

"What do you want to ask?" Ye Changrong saw Ye Shaoke's love was also funny.

Ye Shaoke suddenly thought that there was no such means of transportation as a car in ancient times, and the yard she wanted to build would definitely use a lot of materials, so she had to start preparing in advance.

Thinking of this, Ye Shaoke asked.

"I just wanted to ask if you need a lot of materials to build a house, where can I buy these things?"

After hearing this, Ye Jing also nodded and agreed: "Yes, if we want to build the courtyard wall, we will definitely use a lot of bricks, and this must be prepared in advance."

"This is in the next village, and they have a brick kiln factory near the town, and a tile burner. But you can use these materials with enough money, and if you don't have enough, you can use adobe bricks. The village chief asked worriedly

"Just use fire bricks, the courtyard wall is also made of fire bricks, this house has to be built and I have to get my sister-in-law's, of course it must be repaired beautifully." Ye Shaoke took advantage of Ye Yinfeng's absence again, and took him to be happy.

"Haha, you girl, if your eldest brother is here, maybe you will make a big red face." Ye Dashan laughed.

"Hehe, I'm telling the truth, after building a house, big brother, they don't have to build it for decades." Ye Shaoke said innocently.

Ye Jing looked at his daughter with a look of relief, this daughter uses her heart on everyone in the family, and now she has to worry about this daughter who is not yet in time for her inside and outside the family, and he, the father, doesn't have to do anything, thinking about it, he is a little proud and a little ashamed.

"Then let's decide like this, tomorrow I will take someone to your house to measure the land, and then go to the town to complete the formalities, and then you can find a good day to find someone to start work, Ye Changrong said to Ye Jing."

"Okay, then I'll trouble the big brother, and I'll invite you to drink when the new house is built." Ye Jing was polite.

"Haha, Ye Jing boy, you have brought us this excellent grain and wine today, one day when you are free, you will come over to accompany the old man and me for a few glasses." Ye Dashan said happily.

"Okay, uncle, nephew will definitely come to talk to you another day, and the matter of coming to find the eldest brother today is so decided, and I will go back with Shao Shao first." Ye Jing also thought about going to Uncle Zhou's house again to see how the door was doing.

Ye Dashan, father and son, watched Ye Jing, father and daughter get up, and after giving birth, they also stood up to see each other off.

Leaving the village chief's house, the two fathers and daughters came to Uncle Zhou's house together, Uncle Zhou's family can be regarded as craftsmen, it is no problem to eat well, and they can still save three or five taels of silver a year to save money, which is much better than ordinary countrymen.

Uncle Zhou's house is also a row of blue brick houses, and there are still two thatched houses on both sides, which may be used to stack those woods.

"Brother Jing is here, sit down, I won't greet you, if you want to see the furniture, let my sister-in-law accompany you to see it."

Uncle Zhou is also a real person, he was busy making the door before dinner and sending it to Ye Shaoke's family, so he didn't leave behind the work in his hands when he saw the two fathers and daughters coming in.

"Brother Zhou, you're welcome, don't worry, we've been staying in the house for a few nights, don't worry, you can rest for a while."

Ye Jing stood in the courtyard and couldn't help but persuade when he saw Zhou Bo's more serious appearance.

"Yes, Uncle Zhou, sit down for a while, drink saliva and rest, and see if you are almost finished, and it won't be too bad for a while." Ye Shaoke also admired a tendon of the ancients.

Yang took out two bowls of sugar water from the kitchen and put them in the hands of the father and daughter, and pulled out two more stools for the two to sit down.

"Kid, his father, you're just a dead brain, the guests aren't in a hurry, what are you still anxious about, isn't it going to be done right away, come over to accompany Brother Jing first."

Zhou Bo put down the tools in his hand, took a sweat towel from the stool next to him, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and smiled honestly at Ye Jing's father and daughter.

"Then I'll accompany Brother Jing and Xiao Ke to see the furniture, you pick it out, and when I send it over, we will use the ox cart to pull it over for you."

"Okay, then it's going to trouble Brother Zhou."

Ye Shaoke also followed them and turned around in the courtyard, half of the courtyard of Uncle Zhou's house was covered with tiles, and some wood and some small furniture were piled up inside.

Ye Shaoke sighed at the craftsmanship of the ancients, this is all handmade, compared to the modern machines, it is strong and meticulous.

After turning around in the pile of furniture, Ye Shaoke's father and daughter chose two cabinets with opposite doors, about one meter six high and one meter three wide, and planned to put clothes and quilts in the room.

I also chose a set of tables and chairs for eating, and a cupboard for food. In addition, I bought a basin stand, so that all the pots and pots would be put on the ground. In the end, Ye Shaoke also bought a large cabinet with a lock, which could put some valuable things at home, and finally chose a cabinet to store grain.

For so many pieces of furniture, Uncle Zhou only charges eight dollars of silver, and Ye Shaoke also heard Ye Jing say that a door costs about fifty yuan, not to mention those large cabinets, the carvings on them are also very cumbersome, and it must be more troublesome to do than the door, Ye Shaoke asked Ye Jing to take out a tael of silver and stuff it directly into Zhou Bo's hands.

"It's not so much." As he spoke, he asked Yang to make change.

"Uncle Zhou, I remember all your help to our family, you bothered to make these furniture one by one, and I didn't give it much, you pushed it back and forth for us, so that our father and daughter had no face to make furniture from you, didn't this mean that I wanted my hungry beauties to take advantage of your family?"

"Xiao Ke, don't be polite to your uncle and me, these timber are available on the mountain, and if you don't have a few dollars, Yang said sincerely."

Thinking of the snacks and the pot of grain and wine that Ye Jing sent before, her family refused to earn that silver.

"Even if you don't need the capital, but there are so many things, Uncle Zhou has also spent a lot of effort, our family is about to build a new house, and we will have to build a lot of furniture in the future, you can't do a loss-making deal." If you don't take it, I'll find someone else to do it. Ye Shaoke also pretended to be angry. ”

"Yes, Brother Zhou, I will find your house to make new furniture in the future, and we will be embarrassed to talk to you again if you don't accept it."

"Okay, we'll take it." Yang was no longer hypocritical, and received a tael of silver into his cuff. "Then shake it, you go back first, Uncle Zhou's door is almost ready, and Dad can help Uncle Zhou take the handle and put those furniture on the stage and get into the car."

Ye Jing saw that everything was done, so that his daughter could go back to rest and rest, after all, she had been busy in the town for so long early in the morning, and she hadn't rested for a few hours after going home.

Ye Shaoke also felt a little tired, so he nodded and agreed.

"Okay, I'll go back first, it's hard Uncle Zhou, goodbye Aunt Zhou."
