244. Look up at the sky at forty-five degrees

Yue Jiujiu thanked the closed gate, and then walked to the back of the village, looking for the family with the white sails.

Got it.

Whether it is the house with the white sails or the house on the west side, the door is also closed.

Yue Jiujiu went to the house in the west and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

It's the voice of a young man.

There was a few "clangs" inside, and the door squeaked open.

"Who? What's up? ”

The young man frowned and asked unceremoniously.

"I'll come and see the carpentry work of the Kai family, and if it's suitable, I'll make two doors."

Yue Jiujiu thought that the other party would ask a few more words, but he didn't expect him to flash to the side directly, and raised his finger to point inside.

Yue Jiujiu nodded to him, said "I'm sorry", and went in.

This side is close to the county seat, the houses are almost all brick houses, this carpenter's house, from the gate to the hall house, but also paved with smooth stone slabs, at a glance you know that this is a particular family, in addition to the wooden planks in the yard is semi-finished products, are placed neatly.

Under the eaves of the hall, there was an old man of half a hundred who was smoking a cigarette pouch and pot, and looking up at the sky at forty-five degrees.

Yue Jiujiu thought that the old man was expressing his sorrow, but he heard the old man say:

"Alas! It's still a sunny day! ”

Oh, so the old man is watching the weather.

Also, there is no weather forecast in this era, but many old people will predict the weather for a period of time in the future by looking at the sky, such as "the morning glow does not go out, the sunset travels thousands of miles", "the sun halo rains three watches, the moon halos the wind at noon", "the leaves of the paulownia tree droop down, and the rain flies in two or three days"......

There are many, many proverbs that predict the weather, which were recorded by the working people of ancient times through careful observation.

In fact, there are many elderly people in their village who can look at the weather, but Yue Jiujiu lives far away and has not seen it yet.

"Master, this aunt wants to set two doors."

It wasn't until the old man spoke up that the young man said Yue Jiuyue's purpose.

Yue September: (っ╥╯_╰╥c)

God's special aunt! Destroy them all!

"How tall and how wide? Are there any requirements? ”

The old man continued to smoke his cigarette pouch and pot, and did not have half enthusiasm for Yue Jiuyue, the "God" who took the initiative to come to the door.

"Uncle, the wall of my house is three meters high, the gate is also reserved for three meters of space, and the door frame is not yet neat, how high and wide is the door appropriate?"

Professional problems, of course, have to be solved by professionals, and she is only responsible for paying for them.

"Well, the door frames on both sides have to be set aside, and the gate has to be two meters eight wide, which can be slightly higher than the wall, and three meters two is about the same.

Now, there are exactly two gates over there, three meters high and two meters eight wide. If you want it, give it twenty taels of silver, and take it." ”

The old man took the time to say a few words, and after finishing speaking, he continued to smoke his cigarette pouch and pot, and continued to look up at the sky at forty-five degrees.

The corners of Yue Jiu's mouth twitched a few times, feeling incredulous.

Twenty taels of silver for two gates? Is it so expensive?

She looked at the grandson of the old man who opened the door for her.

"Come with me first."

After saying that, he turned around and left, and Yue Jiujiu immediately followed.

In the west wing, Yue Jiujiu just stood at the door, and when he raised his eyes, he saw two vermilion doors, a pair of copper door knockers on them, and the base of the door knocker was just an ordinary circle, and there was no special carving on the wooden door, but Yue Jiujiu took a fancy to it at a glance.
