After seven days, Qi Ning sat at the window early in the morning and waited, and as soon as Ya Yu arrived at the door, Qi Ning ran over.

"I've kept the girl waiting."

"It's okay, I'm just looking at the store." Qi Ning took the key and checked inside and out, the house had been emptied, and there were some unwanted tatters left, thrown in a mess, and the vacant house looked even more dilapidated.

Qi Ning cleared the rest of the silver. Then he returned to the shop and instructed Tie Niu to go and ask for Louis and Carpenter Lou.

"Miss Qi is making a fortune in business, what are you going to do when you call me here this time?" Lu Laosan asked with a hearty smile when he stood outside the door.

"Uncle Lu, Third Uncle Lu, please take a seat, I have a big job this time, and I want to trouble the two uncles."

"Although you say, you know the craftsmanship of your Third Uncle Lu, as long as you can do it, you will definitely do it well." Lu Laosan patted his chest and said, and Carpenter Lu also nodded.

"I bought the house in the oil mill opposite, and I want to demolish it and rebuild it, I don't know if the two of you have kung fu?"

"Oh my God, the girl is really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go, this business is getting bigger and bigger, I congratulate the girl first." Carpenter Lou said.

"Uncle is polite, you can go with me first." After speaking, he led the two brothers of the Lu family to open the courtyard gate and enter the courtyard.

"These sheds have not been demolished, but they will all be demolished by then, and the six houses along the street will also be demolished, can the third uncle build them into two floors?"

"Does the girl have any drawings?" The last time Qi Ning showed him the drawings, he was very impressed.

"It's done." Qi Ning took out a stack of papers and said them to Brother Lu one by one.

The original six small houses along the street were built with two floors, each floor with five rooms, and three zhang wide from east to west.

On the north side of the first floor, there is a private room, the middle is a hall, the south side of the hall is the counter, behind the counter is the shelf for wine and tea, behind the shelf is a staircase, and the middle wall is on the wall. Make a door under the stairs as a utility room. Outside the store, a few stakes were made on the south side to tie the horses. There are five private rooms on the second floor, and the corridor is left on the side of the courtyard.

The two north rooms of the courtyard where the back door of the shop comes in are used as kitchens, and a shed is set up above the yard, so that the dishes will not be wet when it rains.

A wide gate is opened on the south wall to facilitate later entry.

There are two courtyards in the front and back on the west side, the north courtyard is larger, the main house is three, the ear room is two, the west wing room is three, and the east wing room is two.

The courtyard on the south side is a row of five small rooms with one door and one window for the next person to live, and the westernmost side of the inverted seat leaves two zhang to build a thatched toilet, build a duck shed, dig a big pit in the thatched toilet, spread a stone slab on the top, leave a gap one foot wide, and the front yard is narrow, and it is left one zhang wide.

"The girl is really beautiful, she can draw such beautiful drawings at such a young age?"

"Although my father is a showman, I have read a few books, but I like to ponder." Qi Ning was afraid that if he asked him what book he was reading, he wouldn't be able to answer.

"The girl's drawings have embarrassed me, a bricklayer who has been working for decades."

"The third uncle has won the award, please ask the third uncle to measure the size and build it for me according to the drawings."

"Okay, okay."

Lu Laosan was busy pulling the rope and measuring it carefully for a long time: "Okay, I'll go back to the computer and calculate how much money I need, and I'll tell you when the time comes." ”

"Yes, I have to calculate so much furniture, and there are doors and windows that can only be measured after the house is built." Carpenter Lu took the drawings of Qi Ning to make furniture and looked at it carefully.

"Those two go slowly, I'll wait for your reply."

Sending the Lu brothers away, Qi Ning slowly put all the garbage behind the door alone, and left it alone if it couldn't be moved.

In the evening, I borrowed the board car of the tofu factory, and called everyone to pull the garbage down to the place where the garbage was collected by the West City Gate, and it took two busy nights to finish it. The people in this oil mill are really not particular, and a lot of domestic garbage is also thrown everywhere.

Early in the morning of the third day, Carpenter Lou and his brother came. Qi Ning directly invited someone to sit down in the living room and served tea.

Lu Laosan got straight to the point and said: "Let's go back and calculate carefully, plus the labor and materials for demolishing the house and building the house, it will cost about three hundred taels." ”

"Where's the door and window furniture?" Qi Ning asked Carpenter Lu.

"It's probably more than a hundred hundred." Carpenter Lu, because he can't measure the size and materials of the doors and windows, he can only give an approximate number.

"I am very relieved of the two uncles, even if you use strong and good materials, I will not be short of money at that time. I just don't know how long it will take to get it all done? Qi Ning secretly calculated, his silver was still enough, and Wang Qingyuan's money would not move first.

"The house will be about three months, and when the time comes, I will call a few of my brothers and their apprentices, and when I am really busy, I will hire a few more small workers, and it will be about the same in three months."

"I'll go back now and start making furniture, and when I measure the size of the doors and windows on the beam, it is estimated that it will take half a month." Carpenter Lu followed.

"Then I'll rest assured to teach the two, and I have to bother the two of you to pay more attention, I'll give you a hundred taels by one person first, and then take it if it's not enough, and then we'll count it together when it's delivered?"

"Okay, just do what the girl said, don't worry, we will definitely do the work carefully to your satisfaction." Lu Laosan hurriedly agreed, Qi Ning gave him a very good impression, he believed that Qi Ning would not play any tricks on the money, although they also wondered when they went back, thinking that she should not be able to earn so much silver now, but it is not easy to ask about other people's affairs.

At that moment, the three of them signed a simple agreement, and the Lu brothers went back to prepare, and the day after tomorrow was a good day, and it was advisable to break ground.

Qi Ning wanted to keep a low profile again, and became a popular figure on West Street for a while, and couldn't help but be curious when she saw her, and asked from side to side, Qi Ning was even more reluctant to go out, just go to the opposite side every few days to check the progress, and point out if there is something inappropriate to improve.

During this time, Wang Qingyuan never came, Qi Ning missed it more and more, and muttered in his heart angrily: If you don't come back, my sister will find a handsome one to marry back, hmph, let you be the second child when the time comes.

At this time, Wang Qingyuan, who was galloping on horseback, sneezed several times.

On this day, Qi Ning was guarding me in the shop, and Wu came over: "Miss Qi, the yard where you used to live hasn't been rented out yet, right?" ”

"No, does anyone want to rent it?"

"It's that we want to rent, I didn't rent the one in the back, his family is separated, and the youngest son wants to live here, so I want to rent your small yard."

"Cheng, when I originally rented it, it was 400 wen a month, and there was furniture inside, if you live in it, I will give you 400 wen." Qi Ning said as he took out the key from the drawer under the counter and handed it over.

"Okay, I'll pack up and move over at night, and I'll send you the house money later, and pay it once every six months like the shop?"

"Success, the house price will be calculated from the beginning of next month." It's only the middle of the year, but Qi Ning has always been reluctant to care about the people who have a temper with her.

"Then thank you, Miss Qi, I'll get you the money." Wu ran back and took the money and handed it to Qi Ning.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, Qi Ning's new house was completed, and Qi Ning originally wanted to move over quietly, but what Zhao said also made sense, and it was good for business to make some moves. So he asked Tie Niu to carry a bamboo pole and set off two firecrackers, and a few neighbors who were watching the excitement followed Qi Ning into the door.

Looking at the spacious and atmospheric room, everyone couldn't help but admire again and again.

"Carpenter Lu's family is not blessed, such a good daughter-in-law has not been found." A discordant voice with a thick sour tone came out.

Qi Ning saw that it was a woman she didn't know: "What did this brainless person say, Brother Lu has already gotten married, and besides, the two of us have never discussed marriage, what are you going to do." ”

"That's it, you see that your eyes are sour, don't run here and talk nonsense." Wu hurriedly came over and snorted at the woman.

"Who doesn't know that Mrs. Lu asked you to ask for marriage at the beginning, isn't this just a matter of marriage?" The woman was unwilling to oblique Wu and Qi Ning.

"Whoever let this man in, get out." Qi Ning said to Zhao and Han Dong.

"Phew, I'm not coming." The woman was pushed out by Zhao.

The big guys said that this woman who didn't know how to be polite, it turned out that she was the daughter-in-law of Mrs. Wang, and she followed up to see the excitement when she passed by today.

Tie Niu sensibly guarded the back door to prevent people from entering, and the back was not allowed to be seen, especially in the kitchen.

waited until everyone went upstairs and downstairs to look around, and then they left. Qi Ning sent the Zhao family back to the shop, and waited for Carpenter Lu to deliver the furniture, and when the furniture was pulled by a car, Qi Ning commanded Carpenter Lu's apprentices to place them in the designated position.

After sending Carpenter Lu and the others away, Qi Ning carefully wiped all the furniture with a rag.
