Chapter 67: Or You Paid the Money for Them?
Early the next morning, the craftsman came with a thick pile of drawings as promised.
When the drawings were unfolded, Qi Lele couldn't help but open her eyes, there were no advanced drawing software here, but she saw the real renderings!
This drawing not only plans the overall layout, but also intimately draws the appearance of various plants after they grow up, including grapes and watermelons that Qi Lele misses, as well as peach forests, plum gardens, etc., in addition, it also introduces living water with ingenuity, passing through the yard, quite a bit of artistic conception of winding water, as if painting a paradise.
Only then did she understand why Xie Zi'an had to say it in such detail that day, it turned out to be for this effect!
After looking at the overall layout and yard planning, let's take a look at the house to be built. The new house is not far from the Xie family's courtyard, and the two houses are separated by a peach forest. It is a little farther away than the distance between the Wang family and the Xie family, and it seems to be triangular at a glance.
Looking at the architectural style, the three houses are very similar, but it can be clearly seen that the Xie family's courtyard is the most exquisite.
At the back of the new house, there is a building similar to the back cover room, but it is much more spacious than the ordinary back cover room, and it is also open, which can be entered from the back of the new house or directly from the outside, which is the place used to raise silkworms.
"If something you don't think is appropriate, please speak up, and we can fix it."
Xie Zi'an looked at Qi Lele.
Qi Lele shook her head decisively, she couldn't be more satisfied! Such a beautiful mansion with a courtyard house and various orchards, she can open a farmhouse homestay in her former world! Now it's her home! You have to wake up laughing when you dream!
Even if she has so much space in her hands, what can she do as a person who is not aesthetically online? It's not easy to sort crops into categories. What's more, she has limited time in the space, and she doesn't want to go in alone when she has nothing to do.
Xie Zi'an bowed his head and mentioned a few more things to improve.
First, the small house where the silkworms are raised is too small, and it needs to be enlarged a little more, and two more rooms can be built on both sides, leaving a large enough yard.
Second, the watermelons and grapes are located on the edge of the whole house, and a pond can be dug nearby and a gazebo can be built.
Qi Lele suddenly remembered something, pulled Xie Zi'an's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "I don't think Chi Zi is necessary, right? It's good to have a small yard."
Xie Zi'an nodded: "Then make a small yard, if it feels crowded, let's buy some more land."
This time, Qi Lele didn't feel distressed: "Yes! There should be more grapes and watermelons, and the yard should not be too small, and I would like a larger cellar."
After all, the watermelon that will make wine in the future also has its own wonderful uses, and these things need to be done by a place.
The craftsman made a note of their request and said, "If it's convenient, I do recommend expanding it to the south."
The south side is in the direction of the foot of the mountain, but you can buy it, Xie Zi'an bowed: "Yes."
"If there are no other changes, then we will draw the drawings on the other side of the house first, and then re-measure the land to the south when we come next time."
"Okay."
After reading the drawings, thinking that his home would be a different look, Qi Lele was inexplicably excited, feeling full of energy, and no longer disliked the high fees charged by craftsmen, and high-end customization It was worth the price!
At this moment, Du Qiuliang, Tao and Du Qiurong had already washed and dried all the sesame seeds, and the other tools were also properly prepared, just waiting for Qi Lele to guide.
Qi Lele was not verbose, rolled up his sleeves, and said the points to pay attention to while stir-frying: "After the sesame seeds are fried, the temperature should be lowered immediately to remove soot, charred dust and broken skin. But the temperature can't be too low, and you have to start grinding the sauce while it's still a little hot."
After this process is completed, it is time to start grinding sesame paste, and it is still Xie Zi'an who cooperates with Qi Lele. This made the expressions of the three men more serious and serious.
"When grinding, try to grind at the same speed, add sesame seeds evenly, and add the amount of boiling water, which determines the final oil yield
。 The first time is tahini and boiling, the second time you add boiling water, it is equivalent to dividing the amount of boiling water for the first time into three parts, taking as many as one of them, and adding boiling water for the third time is the amount of boiling water for the first time and dividing it into four parts."
"What I know is probably this ratio, not necessarily the best ratio, and when you become proficient, you can also try to increase or decrease one or two appropriately to see which one is more suitable."
The three of them solemnly replied, "Yes!"
When the vat of sesame oil and sesame paste was made, Qi Lele asked them to try it themselves: "It doesn't matter if you don't do it well at first, I tried it many times."
Xie Zi'an saw that she was still going to watch from the side, so he pulled her directly into the kitchen: "Isn't it time to honor the hot dry noodles promised me yesterday?" Fun Cabinet
Qi Lele said, "Why don't you wait for me to watch them do it?"
"You're next to them, they're only going to get more nervous." Xie Zi'an said, "I'll watch it for you, you can make noodles with peace of mind."
Having said that, what else can Qi Lele say?
Just as he was about to respond, there was a sudden knock on the courtyard door, it was Du Lanqiu who came.
"My mother and I just came back from the city, and I thought I'd come and tell you peace."
Qi Lele smiled and said, "Is Auntie okay?"
Du Lanqiu blinked: "It's good, but you need to recuperate, and the medicine can't be broken."
"It's okay if you're fine, just take care of your body slowly."
Du Lanqiu said, "I think so too, by the way, are you free? Let's go and sign the contract for those acres."
Qi Lele wanted to say that he was not in a hurry, but looking at Du Lanqiu's appearance, eighty percent of the Du family had something wrong with him, so he immediately nodded in response.
So, Du Lanqiu went to find Li Zheng with Qi Lele and Xie Zi'an.
On the way, Du Lanqiu said: "These acres of land, forest land can be sold for 12 taels and one acres, I have discussed with my mother, 8 taels and one acres will be sold to you, and the paddy field will be 25 acres, okay?"
Qi Lele looked at Xie Zi'an, and Xie Zi'an said, "The sale is too low, the price of forest land is 15 taels and one mu, and the paddy field can be sold for 35 taels and one mu."
Du Lanqiu said, "We are in a hurry, it is appropriate to be cheaper, and you and our mother and daughter are also gracious."
Qi Lele doesn't like to hear this: "One yard is one yard, I help you because you and I are friends, and I bought your land because you want to sell it and I want to buy it, if you mess around like this, I don't want this land."
Du Lanqiu was stunned, and hurriedly said, "It's me who is wrong! 10 taels of woodland and 28 taels of paddy fields?"
Qi Lele said: "I don't take advantage of you, and I don't let you take advantage of me, 12 taels of forest land and 30 taels of paddy fields."
Du Lanqiu's heart was sour, but he sighed on his face, and said helplessly, "It's up to you."
Qi Lele was satisfied.
Li Zheng was a little surprised to see them: "How is your mother?"
Du Lanqiu wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "My life is saved, but my body has lost too much, and I have to recuperate for a while, so I thought about selling my family's land."
Li Zheng was a little embarrassed, but he vaguely knew that Du Lanqiu's mother and daughter still had other means of making a living, but he didn't persuade him, but said, "It's okay if the land is sold, it's important to take care of your body."
took out the deed and was about to fill it out, but there were babbling voices outside, and there were a lot of them.
When Li Zheng and a few people went out of the house, they saw a group of people rushing in the courtyard, led by the brothers of the Du family.
Du Dalang said: "Uncle Li Zheng, you are commenting, my third family is still lying on the bed and can't get off the ground, Lan Qiu, this girl makes her own claim to sell the land, how can this work?"
Du Lanqiu said: "Uncle, I didn't see you care when my mother fainted, and I didn't see you care when I was in a coma in the city for three days, but now that people are awake and go home, you have come out."
"Did you talk to your uncle like that? Yes? Your father is gone, that's how your mother taught you?"
Du Lanqiu's eyebrows instantly rose: "How did my mother teach me to ask you to take care of it? Did I eat your rice or sleep in your bed?"
"Besides,
My mother taught me to be good to others, but she didn't say that I should be good to my enemies!"
The person who spoke was Du Erlang's mother-in-law, Zhao, who was so frightened that her face turned pale: "I'm your aunt!" What an enemy, you girl just can't clean up!"
Du Lanqiu said, "You stunned my mother and almost killed her! And the face said it was my aunt? You should be glad my mother is okay, or I will die with you with a knife!"
Zhao was a little flustered when he heard this, and subconsciously took two steps back, and when he spoke again, he was obviously a little weak: "I'm too lazy to bother with you girl!"
Qi Lele raised his eyebrows, no wonder You Qingyun and Du Lanqiu's mother and daughter can live safely in the hands of the Du family, who eat people and don't spit out bones, until now, it turns out that they are not soft persimmons!
Du Dalang said: "Okay, okay, what else do you mention about the past, it's not shameful enough! Lan Qiu, your mother is fine, don't always put these words on your lips, the girl's family, so rude, who dares to marry you?"
Du Shilang also followed: "That's it, your mother is still waiting for you at home, hurry back." Your mother hasn't gotten out of bed yet, so what land are you selling?"
Du Lanqiu sneered: "My mother was rescued from the old ginseng Lingzhi who poured it for three days, and the silver came from the Xie family, I didn't sell land, I paid off my debts!"
"What!" This time, Qi Lele, who spoke out, was familiar, it was Du Lanqiu's grandmother: "Poured three days of old ginseng Ganoderma lucidum? Have you been deceived?"
Du Lanqiu said: "Milk, people are a century-old shop, they can't lie to me about this little silver, besides, I haven't seen ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, I personally stared at the boiled medicine."
"Iniquity! What kind of delicate body is this, and you still drink this thing! You don't know where to stop it, you don't know where to stop, just like your mother, you're a broom star!"
Du Lanqiu had obviously heard too many of these words, and his expression had not changed.
The old woman said, "No! That can't sell land either! That land belongs to our old Du family, you two can't sell it!"
Qi Lele looked at the front of his eyes, and saw that he had no intention of speaking for the time being, so he took two steps forward.
"Isn't it natural to pay off debts? Otherwise, your old Du family paid back the money for them?"
