Took out a piece of charcoal and calculated on the rough paper, one tael, five taels, fifteen taels, fifty taels, obediently, the whole house needs so much furniture.

Ji Xiang also has a book in his heart, and the furniture of this house is made, according to the price offered by the master before, it should cost more than 80 taels of silver.

Sure enough, the master made a gesture, it was seventy taels, hey, the master is still kind-hearted, and he actually opened the price of more than ten taels less, you must know that this more than ten taels is pure profit.

"Master, it's only eighty taels, Xiaocui is about to make time, it's time to save her dowry silver." Jixiang said.

The master took a look, yes, the girl in the family has also reached the age of discussing relatives, just earning the money of the auspicious family in this way is really unkind.

Ten years ago, because of his skills, he was able to take his parents, daughter-in-law and daughter to settle in Xiangzhang County, and bought a carpenter shop with his savings for many years.

They need helpers, and they are worried that the helpers will be careless, after all, except for Cheng Hai, the family is all old and weak, women and children, so they were introduced to Jixiang as an apprentice.

But Cheng Hai's father was attentive, and said that the apprentices of the church starved to death of the master, so the Cheng family's stunts must not be taught auspicious.

But the rule at that time was that the apprentice was equal to his son, and this stunt did not teach the apprentice, how to have the face to let Jixiang give him a pension in the future.

So a contract was made, as long as Cheng Hai opened his mouth to let Jixiang be full of masters, it meant that they were no longer in a master-apprentice relationship, and they would no longer have the obligation to support them in the future.

Originally, the Cheng family wanted to steal a trick, as long as Cheng Hai didn't let go, Jixiang would be a day worker in the Cheng family for a lifetime, but they didn't expect the business of the carpenter's shop to plummet, and they were about to run out of food.

In desperation, Cheng Hai could only let go and let Jixiang go home, so every time he saw Jixiang, he always felt ashamed of this apprentice, as long as he could help, he would help as much as possible.

Unexpectedly, after Jixiang went back, not only did he not help, but in difficult times, it was Jixiang who carried food to help them, and now he introduced his own business to him.

"Jixiang, the master is sorry for you, seventy taels of silver is really enough, the master just makes a little less, it's okay." Cheng Hai shook his head resolutely.

Old Man Xiang nodded secretly in his heart, ten taels of silver, big families may not take it to heart, but they are small families, they can save a little bit of food, and it will definitely be enough for two or three years.

"Master Cheng, our family is grateful to you for cultivating Jixiang, so that he can stand on his own, otherwise, let Jixiang go to you to help, on the one hand, the speed can be faster, and Jixiang also knows what the family needs."

Old Man Xiang smiled and handed Jixiang a silver ticket of one hundred taels, of which eighty taels were for Master Cheng, and twenty taels were for you to look at.

Fugui looked at his father's wealthy appearance, and couldn't help but turn his face, trying his best to hold back his smile, otherwise his father would be annoyed and angry, and he would be the one who suffered.

Cheng Hai knew that it was useless to say more, so he picked up the tools, and the two of them began to seriously go to each room to measure and record data, and at the same time made up their minds that this time they would work with Jixiang and they must hand over the work to Jixiang.

"Brother, why don't I and Jixiang work here, the finished cabinet is covered with tung oil, and it can be put into the room directly, and there is no need to move around." Cheng Hai glanced at the courtyard and said.

Old Man Xiang nodded again and again when he heard this, but in this way, the key to the lock was not enough, so he handed the key to Ping'an and asked him to find a locksmith with a few keys, at least one in each room.

Old Man Xiang quietly gave Ping'an three hundred taels of silver, so that he could buy some daily necessities and food when he had time, especially food and quilts, and he must stock up a little more, in case the house in the village collapsed, they could at least be fed and clothed.

Of course, Ping'an knew the situation of the old house in his village, and looked at the old man Xiang worriedly and said, "Dad, why don't you celebrate the New Year in the county seat this year, otherwise I'm really worried." ”

Old Man Xiang shook his head, he has lived in the village for decades, and everyone's heart is known, although most of the villagers are good, but there are always one or two who can't see the good of others.

As long as your house is crushed by the snow, and then you pitifully go to the county seat to join your eldest son, and then change the homestead with the chief pitifully, then the matter can basically come naturally, otherwise, I will send you two words.

On the way back, Mr. Xiang wanted to go to the bookstore to buy books again, but he really didn't want to go to the bookstore of his grandfather, so under the leadership of Ping An, he went to another bookstore in the county.

"Dad, this bookstore is also opened by my owner, named Hanzhuang Bookstore, you didn't tell me to buy books last time, otherwise I would have let you come to this bookstore." Ping An said with a smile.

"Big brother, your owner's shop seems to use the word Hanzhuang, Hanzhuang Cloth Village, Hanzhuang Money Village, Hanzhuang Bookstore, will there be a Hanzhuang restaurant?" Fugui asked.

"Yes, my owner has a lot of shops, by the way, I bought some snacks for Fubao, and I will go back with me to get them later, and you can bring them back for Fubao to eat." When Ping An talked about the shop, he remembered the pastries he bought for Fubao.

"Well, you eat by yourself in Ping'an, you go buy something to eat in Fugui, and I go to buy books with Ping'an." Old Man Xiang began to assign tasks.

A few people went their separate ways, and when the sun set in the west, they actually bought back half an oxcart to eat, mainly because the winter solstice has passed, and the winter season of cats is coming, and the people in the village are generally closed.

And in the old house of Xiangzhang Village, all the people are working, washing the quilts, washing the quilts, cooking rice, and the children also braved the heavy snow to go out to collect firewood.

The wild rice harvested on the mountain has not yet been milled out, and the rich sister-in-law took advantage of Fubao's sleep, and hurriedly got busy working slowly, how much can be milled.

When the old man Xiang returned to the village with the ox cart, it was already dark, and Grandma Xiang hurriedly served ginger tea to the old man and them to drink tea, and Xiang Chu also pulled the bison into the yard in distress.

"Huh, what about auspiciousness?" When Grandma Xiang was about to close the courtyard door, she found that Jixiang was not there, and couldn't help asking.

"Jixiang is making furniture in the county." Old Man Xiang drank the hot and spicy ginger tea in one gulp, and said happily while taking off his cotton hat.

"Got the house?" Grandma Xiang's eyes lit up and she asked happily.

"Well, I bought it, next door to the Qingshan Academy last time, there are eight rooms and two halls, enough for our family to live in." Old Man Xiang took out the deed and handed it to Grandma Xiang.

Grandma Xiang opened the deed and saw that it was written with the name of the rich and noble, and it was exactly the same as the previous discussion, but the murderous house had retreated, and I don't know if there would be a pimple in the heart of the daughter-in-law.
