Lin Yao didn't want to sell Guan Zi either, so she said directly with a smile, "Well, I came today to ask Uncle Liu to help introduce me to a few short-term jobs, and I want to rebuild a house for my family." ”

As soon as Lin Yao's words came out, Uncle Liu and Jiang both looked at each other in surprise in an instant, and Uncle Liu asked with disbelief on his face, "What?" Want to build a house? Yao girl, I heard you right, right? ”

Lin Yao smiled slightly, "Yes, Uncle Liu, I have had some opportunities these days to earn some silver, and I can still take out the eighty taels to build a house." ”

"What? Yao girl, can you take out the ten taels of silver? Hearing this, Jiang exhaled in surprise, looking at Lin Yao's appearance as if she was lying, Jiang suddenly felt that this little girl was not simple, she had sold so much silver in just a few days, and she had to know that ten taels of silver would take several years to save in their family.

Hearing this, Lin Yao smiled and didn't speak, but took out a string of silver from his arms and put it on the table in front of Uncle Liu, "Uncle Liu, I know the rules, this is your introduction fee, it's not much, don't dislike it." ”

Uncle Liu is like a matchmaker introducing you to a partner in terms of inviting workers, so he has to give people some labor fees, and the amount of money to give varies from person to person.

Looking at the string of silver on the table, Uncle Liu believed that Lin Yao would definitely be able to take out ten taels of silver, and was slightly shocked in his heart, and said to Lin Yao with a smile on his face, "Yao girl is out now, she can build a house in just a few days, she is really capable." ”

"Yes, this Yao girl is capable and sensible, but she is not a good girl." Seeing this, Jiang also agreed.

Lin Yao curled her lips and smiled, "It's nothing, it's just that I made some small money, so this matter will trouble Uncle Liu." ”

Uncle Liu hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't worry, other Uncle Liu doesn't dare to say, it's just to find a few workers, Uncle Liu will definitely find you some down-to-earth and hard-working people to help you, so how many people do you plan to recruit first?" ”

"I don't know the amount of labor of this worker, but I want to build a house in about a month, Uncle Liu, how many people do you think it will take?"

"A month?" Hearing this, Uncle Liu frowned slightly, "Yao girl, it takes twenty people to build a house this month, and the time is so tight, the amount of labor every day will increase, and the salary will be more." ”

Lin Yao bent her lips absently, she believed that she would not be bad for money, and she would have less burden in her heart if she built it earlier, "It's okay Uncle Liu, twenty people are twenty people, how about I give them an extra five wen workers every day?" ”

Hearing Lin Yao's pricing, Uncle Liu laughed, "Eh, Yao girl, your salary is high, okay, since you have decided that Uncle Liu will help you contact in the afternoon, you can rest assured." ”

Lin Yao hurriedly smiled and thanked him, "Then thank you Uncle Liu, there is still something at home, so I'll go back first." ”

After coming out of Uncle Liu's house, Lin Yao came to the place where she picked lemons, and found that the lemons on the tree were all ripe, and if she didn't pick them, they would fall to the ground and rot, so she thought that she would call Yao's mother to come over tomorrow to help pick all the lemons and make some lemon slices to dry and store.

When she went to the place where the Tsubaki tree grows, she found that most of the Tsubaki vegetables were already old, and it seemed that she could not pick them for a few days, so she hurriedly picked most of the young shoots in half of the basket, and looked around for some herbs to stop bleeding and dissolve stasis and went back.

When she got home, she washed and mashed the herbs first, called Xiao Douding to come over and apply the medicine to the wound, and then she washed and blanched the Tsubaki cabbage, and ate it again with meat sauce and rice at night.

As soon as she finished eating, Lin Yao heard Uncle Liu shouting in the courtyard, "Is Miss Yao there?" ”

Lin Yao hurriedly walked out and said with a smile, "Uncle Liu is here, has you recruited someone?" ”

"Yes, I just came back from the town and personally picked twenty honest and capable short-term jobs for you, and I will be there tomorrow." Uncle Liu replied happily.

Lin Yao smiled gratefully, "It's really troublesome Uncle Liu, has Uncle Liu eaten, there is still some food at home, Uncle Liu stays to eat some?" ”

Uncle Liu hurriedly waved his hand, "No need, your Aunt Jiang is still waiting for me to eat at home, I'll leave first." ”

After Uncle Liu left, Lin Yao thought about it again, and she suddenly wanted to build the structure of the house on a whim, so she went to the Jin family next door to borrow paper and pencils, and when she got home, she lay on the table and carefully drew the new house she imagined.

In the hall and kitchen, there is a stove on the left and right, with an iron pot, and two houses are built on the left and right, both of which are connected to the ondol, so that in winter, there is no longer a need for the whole family to huddle in one room for heating. Then set aside a room to put a wooden bed, and wait for Xiao Douding to grow up and sleep separately from her.

But the houses in this ancient countryside are generally poorly insulated, and even if there is a kang house, it is very cold, so Lin Yao is ready to dig out a ground dragon under the house, which is equivalent to modern floor heating.

According to the memory of the original owner, no one here knew about the existence of the earth dragon, so Lin Yao carefully marked it on the drawings so that he could show it to the workers tomorrow.

Turning her head and looking around, she saw that the window paper on the narrow windows in the house had long been broken, she thought about it, and was going to make the windows of the three houses bigger, most of the windows in ancient times were papier-mâché, so in order not to be wet by the rain and keep warm in winter, they were all very small, just ventilated and lightened, and since there was the protection of the earth dragon, Lin Yao was not ready to follow the original windows, she was going to inlay a large window on the wall, and the material was the best bright tile, not afraid of wet, In winter, it will not be cold if there is a ground dragon, so the lighting is good, and the heart is also open and comfortable.

After finishing the painting, Lin Yao looked at her work and squinted with satisfaction, which can be regarded as her first real home.

————

Early the next morning, as soon as Lin Yao and Yao's mother had breakfast, Uncle Liu led ten workers to Lin Yao's door, and he smiled and said to her, "Yao girl, I have brought all the people, you just watch and order." ”

turned out to be so fast, Uncle Liu did things really reliably.

Lin Yao smiled and hurriedly stepped forward, "Got it, Uncle Liu, thank you." Then he turned his head to the twenty middle-aged men on the side and said, "Brothers and uncles, since we are all together, then we will negotiate this price first, I believe you all know, fifteen yuan a day, every day when the completion is completed, the bill will be settled, and it will be completed in about a month, and the lunch will be provided, you have no objection." ”

Hearing this, the ten men all looked at each other, surprised that their little proprietor turned out to be such a little girl, and at the same time pleased with the high salary, and hurriedly replied, "No problem!"

Lin Yao looked at it and hooked her lips slightly, but there was a bit of fierceness in her eyes, "That's good, but I have to make it clear to you in advance, although I will pay you this salary on time every day, but if I find out that any of you are procrastinating and not serious, then don't blame me for being unsympathetic and immediately dismissed." ”

Although Uncle Liu had assured him that these people were honest, Lin Yao didn't dare to believe that so many people could not easily believe that he would never let a mouse feces stir up the whole pot of porridge, slow down the process, and waste money.

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, a little surprised that a little girl had such momentum, no wonder she could be their little boss, and quickly nodded and said in unison, "Got it." ”

After all the explanations were clear, Lin Yao led them to the open space next to the Lin family, she was going to start building a house here, the Lin family's house is in a remote place, except for someone on the side of the Jin family, there is wasteland on the other side, and there is a mountain not far away, so this is convenient for Lin Yao to choose a place to build a house.

After choosing the place, Lin Yao took out yesterday's drawings from his arms, looked at the group of rough men opposite, and asked, "Who are you in charge here?" ”

Hearing this, a forty or fifty-year-old uncle walked out, smiled innocently and said, "Little owner, I am in charge." ”

Looking at the honest and honest uncle, Lin Yao said with a smile, "Uncle, what do you call it?" ”

"My surname is Li, just call me Uncle Li." Uncle Li replied with a smile.

Lin Yao nodded, "Uncle Li, I want you to build a house according to the structure on this drawing, what do you think?" Lin Yao said as she took out the drawings from her arms and handed them to Uncle Li.

Uncle Li took the drawings and squinted his eyes to take a closer look, and looked up with some doubts, "Little owner, I can understand your drawings, three bedrooms, a hall and kitchen, but the size of this window is inevitably too large, I'm afraid it won't keep warm in winter, and do you want to dig a passage underground?" ”

Uncle Li had never seen such a strange building structure, and he was very puzzled by Lin Yao's thoughts.

Lin Yao smiled slightly, pointed to the drawings and explained to him, "Uncle, the passage under this house is called the Earth Dragon, and the principle is similar to that of the fire kang, which is connected to the stove, so that when the fire is burned in winter, the eyes will be opened, so the ground will be as warm as on the kang, so even if the window is larger, it will be fine." ”

Hearing this, Uncle Li's eyes instantly widened, and he looked at Lin Yao in surprise and was a little excited, "Little owner, where did you get this idea, I have never heard of such a novel thing after building so many houses, but if it is feasible, it is a great craft, Xiao Dongjia, if it is done, can I implement this earth dragon practice in other houses." ”

Lin Yao said with a smile, "Of course, if this earth dragon is built, it will not have to suffer in winter, and it should be carried forward and benefited others." ”

Hearing this, Uncle Li instantly admired this little girl, this little girl is not only smart and excited, but also open-minded.

After everything was explained, Lin Yao returned to the house and said to Yao's mother, who was still sewing clothes, "Mother, the workers will start building the house today, I will go to the butcher's house to cut some meat and come back, and wait for them to make a meal of stir-fried meat at noon." ”

Yao's mother nodded while biting the thread, "Okay, it's not easy for the workers, you should make them some delicious food, so that they can work more carefully." ”

Seeing that it was still early outside the house, Lin Yao was going to make some rose water first, she lit the fire, scooped some water into the pot and boiled it to prepare distilled water, and asked Yao's mother to help watch the fire, she carried the basket to the west hillside to pick a basket full of roses, passed by the butcher's house and cut five catties of pork.

When I got home, I chopped the meat and prepared it, then washed the roses and mixed them with distilled water, and boiled them for about a quarter of an hour, then put the finished rose water in a wooden basin and set it aside to dry.

Then he started cooking rice in a warm pot, looking at a big pot full of polished rice, Lin Yao thought that it seemed that he was going to the town tomorrow to sell the rose water, and he would buy more rice and come back to prepare it.

After the rice was cooked, Lin Yao put some seasonings on the rice and pork and stir-fried them together, and after a while, it came out of the pot fragrantly, Lin Yao hurriedly put the food and went to the house to call the workers who were working to eat.
