Chapter Eighty-Five: Repairing the House
Yi Mingxue has been idle these days.
So he found the king carpenter and two other masons to his house.
Began repairing her family's house.
The first thing to do was to build up the collapsed walls of the hall.
Then, the thatched roof had to be replaced with a tiled roof.
The walls and tiles were handed over to professional carpenters.
And Yi Mingxue herself began to toss her yard.
She studied it twice.
In the end, it was decided to expand the courtyard to the east and run through the northeast corner.
It has been changed to a more practical front and back yard.
Stables and chicken pens were built in the backyard, as well as miscellaneous items such as farm tools and firewood.
The front yard is where they go about their daily lives.
Except for her greenhouse and Yi Tianlei's practice area.
You also have to set up a large long table.
When the sun is good, the diced radishes go to the yard to play.
In addition, Yi Mingxue also built a stone altar half an arm wide under the courtyard wall.
The area near the stove house is used as a vegetable patch.
The one with a better sun in the east will be kept for the fifth child to make a medicine garden in the future.
For the rest of the place, she had sprinkled the moon flowers.
Just wait for the next spring, the vines grow wildly, the flowers bloom, and crawl along the mud wall all over the yard.
It is not only pleasing to the eye, but also plays a certain role in protecting privacy.
……
Winter Moon Twenty-Seven.
The Yi family's house was successfully repaired.
On that day, Yi Mingxue got up early in the morning.
According to the country custom, a big red firecracker was also set off.
Second Aunt Li, Zhu Boniang and others originally planned to come to help her.
As a result, they didn't have to do anything at all.
Yi Mingxue had already brought a few diced radishes with them to clean up and look new.
Boss Mei also happened to meet the completion of the renovation of their new home.
"Girl! Big Sister Yi?! ”
She stood in the doorway and screamed twice.
I'm afraid that I remember the wrong place and recognize the wrong door.
Is this still the same dilapidated thatched hut that it was used to be?
The collapsed hall has been rebuilt and covered with beautiful black mud tiles.
The walls inside and outside the house were painted white, and the doors and thresholds were repainted with vermilion.
Seeing that Yi came out lightly to answer the door.
Shopkeeper Mei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed.
"Are you building a new house?"
Yi Qingqing has now seen the shopkeeper Mei, and he is no longer as restrained and timid as before.
Although the voice is still soft and soft, he obviously has the confidence to speak.
"No, it's just a little bit of a repair......
As he spoke, he led the shopkeeper Mei to the new long table in the courtyard.
"You may be seated...... I'm going to call my eldest sister ......."
Before the words fell, the person had already run away.
Shopkeeper Mei shook his head helplessly, and then began to look at the small courtyard of Yi Mingxue's house.
It is different from the current messy and decaying courtyards of most peasant households.
The renovated yard of the Yi family is not only clean and clear, but also clearly divided.
There is also an indescribable vitality.
It's a good mood.
Yi Mingxue quickly came out of the greenhouse.
Now her greenhouse is no longer a few rudimentary fence walls.
Rather, it is made of yellow mud, a real greenhouse that can maintain a constant temperature.
She washes the yellow mud off her hands in the sink at the door of the greenhouse.
Sideways to greet the shopkeeper Mei.
"Why did Sister Mei come here in person today?"
The shopkeeper of Namei has always been calm, but this time, it is really great news.
So she couldn't help but stand up and walked to Yi Mingxue's side.
"Of course I'm here to give you good news!" A plate made before the light was hand-picked by the big shopkeeper of Yixiangfang and made the main new product of the season! ”
"Oh? yes. ”
Yi Mingxue wiped off the water stains on her hands and replied casually.
Shopkeeper Mei saw that her reaction was indifferent, just as she had no concept about this matter.
So, he quickly explained.
"That's what can be put on the shelves at the same time in hundreds of branches across the country. Although one piece is selected every month, Yixiangfang has been in business for so many years, and no tailor with less than seven years of qualifications has been selected. ”
"Gently is the first! And it's such a young one! ”
After that, the shopkeeper Mei grabbed Yi Qing's hands.
I was so excited that I almost jumped up.
Yi Qing was also a little confused, although he didn't know how powerful this was.
But it seems that he is a little more powerful than he imagined.
Yi Mingxue looked at the two of them helplessly.
"Alright! I've known about this for a long time. ”
"You know?" Shopkeeper Mei was surprised.
There was no way, Yi Mingxue had to tell the two of them what happened when she went to the county last time and passed by Yixiangfang.
Yi lightly opened his big eyes, not to mention how serious he was.
And the shopkeeper Mei slapped Yi Mingxue in the palm and complained, "You didn't even tell me about such a big thing!" Girl, you can really calm down. ”
Yi Mingxue said a little embarrassed, "It's really been a lot of chores lately, and I forgot about it when I got busy." ”
"And at that time, the shopkeeper only said that he would apply, and there was no decision on whether he could be selected."
"By the way, how are the clothes selling?"
"Hmph, I thought you didn't care." Boss Mei sneered.
I still wanted to sell it, but I saw Yi Qing on the side with eyes full of expectations.
couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, and immediately announced.
"3,000 pieces, sold out in a month!"
"Wow!"
Now, it was finally Yi Mingxue's turn to be surprised.
She expected that the second sister's plate making was likely to be selected.
But she never expected that the sales would be so good.
"Many customers who didn't grab it came to the door to ask for more orders, but the big shopkeeper refused because it was too much and the scarcity was expensive."
When Shopkeeper Mei talked about this, his expression could be described as a dance of eyebrows.
She can be regarded as raising her eyebrows now.
"Well, this is the money that was promised to be given to you."
As she spoke, she took out a silver ticket and handed it to the Yi sisters.
Yi Mingxue took it lightly for Yi.
I saw that in the middle of the fluttering silver ticket, there were three heavy characters written.
"Three hundred taels ?!!!"
Yi Mingxue was really shocked now.
On the same day, she estimated the profit after discarding the costs of each link and several layers of exploitation.
Her second sister can probably get between 100 taels and 150 taels.
That's a lot of money.
Who would have thought that the final result would be more than twice as much as she predicted.
Yi was directly frightened on the spot.
Even when Yi Mingxue handed her the silver ticket, she didn't dare to reach out to take it.
She has been born for more than ten years.
Not to mention three hundred taels, even thirty taels have never been seen.
But that's not the end of it.
Shopkeeper Mei then pulled out another envelope from his sleeve.
Handed it to Yi and said lightly, "In addition to the money, there is also the letter of appointment that Yixiangfang in the county entrusted me to forward." ”
"They want to invite you to the largest head office in the county to be a tailor on the counter, and the monthly salary is seven taels."
Yi Qingqing: "Huh? ”
Yi Mingxue: "......"
What kind of land are you working so hard to plant! Isn't it fragrant to hug your thighs directly?
