C73

"Fengchai, in the future, you have to learn from Sang's sister. You are not allowed to learn from your father or mother. If you dare to disrespect Sang's sister again, I'll get mom to sell you to a rich family as a little girl."

These were probably the fiercest words that Mu Yiyang could think of.

The days passed by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first month.

Mu Rousang was already six years old, in the ancient times, such a child would still be able to run around for her family. She had already changed into a fresh coat and hurried to Manager Wu with the little donkey cart.

"Manager, it's been a while since we've met. You're getting lucky." The first time Mu Rousang saw each other, Manager Wu was so happy that he couldn't even see his own teeth.

A pair of big fat hands held onto her stomach as she staggered forward, arriving in front of Mu Rousang, "Little girl, it's been a while since we last met you, you seem to be even more lively now."

The two of them looked at each other. Heroes cherish heroes!

After a moment of silence, Mu Rousang stated her purpose for coming here: "Manager Wu, I want to buy some bricks to build a large courtyard. I want to seek you for an idea."

Manager Wu was filled with emotions. Who would have thought that last year, the skinny little girl who was wearing tattered clothes had become a commoner family member.

"Your house needs blue brick!" He exclaimed in his heart, "Do you know how much brick is a tael?"

The mouthful of brick in Manager Wu's mouth was the same as what everyone normally meant by a piece of brick.

Mu Rousang shook her head: "I don't know, so I came to Manager Wu to inquire about some news."

"A piece of blue brick costs a coin!" Manager Wu said while sipping his tea.

Mu Rousang frowned in distress. How many green bricks would her family need to own almost 11 mu of land?

"Manager Wu, I would like to build a two-way courtyard. However, the courtyard wall is a bit big, around eleven mu of land." She was planning to completely surround the house and plant fruit trees to protect it from thieves.

Manager Wu's hand trembled. "Eleven mu of land?"

"Yes, but I only plan to use two acres of land to build a two-way courtyard. I plan to plant other places with fruit trees that can admire the flowers in spring, cool in summer, smell the fruit fragrance in autumn, and enjoy the snow in winter." The more Mu Rousang thought about it, the more beautiful he felt.

"From the looks of it, you don't intend to build a south side room?" Manager Wu understood after hearing her explanation.

Mu Rousang laughed bitterly: "No, manager knows about my family's situation. There aren't many people in the brother and sister family."

"En, if that's the case, then about 110,000 green bricks are more than enough. Then your roof will have to be covered by glazed roof tiles, and it will cost three pieces of glazed roof tiles."

Mu Rousang was a little puzzled. "I know that Liu Li Wa is not easy to make, but why are blue bricks so expensive?"

Manager Wu scoffed. "You don't understand." He put down the teacup in his hand and explained in detail, "A kiln of green brick, from soil extraction, cooked mud production, embryo production, to a kiln of burning, would take a whole year. However, if the sound of twenty green bricks being burnt in a kiln of green brick was not clear enough, then this kiln of green brick would become useless and would not be usable."

No wonder it was so expensive. Mu Rousang only knew that green bricks could warm the winter and cool the summer, and had a high resistance to corrosion and water.

"It just so happens that I have a friend who owns a kiln factory. Not only does he make bricks, he also makes some thick porcelain bowls and vats."

"Many thanks, Shopkeeper. It's a good thing that I have your help, otherwise I would have been like a headless fly, bumping around randomly." Mu Rousang sincerely thanked him. This was not something that could be done in a modern era.

"Did you find a master when you built the house?" Manager Wu thought that he would go to the end like a good person.

Mu Rousang just realized that there were a lot of things to deal with when she built a house, "Nothing much, it's easy to find using muddy water, it's just that it's not easy to find craftsmen who are proficient in the key techniques, shopkeeper must know a few capable people."

"You little girl, it just so happens that last year, didn't I open a new restaurant in another town? It's been renovated. It's my old job, so my skills are pretty good. Later on, I'll send someone to deliver a message to you. Who could be as impatient as you?

Mu Rousang thanked Manager Wu.

With the help of Manager Wu, the big piece of equipment that Mu Rousang had prepared earlier was quickly prepared, but she felt a pain in her heart as well. Just the blue brick and glazed roof tiles alone cost her one hundred and fifty silver coins, and adding the land bought two years ago, half of the savings that she had saved so hard for her family was removed.

Fortunately, the wood didn't cost too much, so she picked out some good trees at the back of the mountain. The village chief had obtained some good stuff last year, so he took a bit of silver from these trees as a token fee.

Mu Jinzhi went to ask the village chief for help, he hired twenty-five strong men, and five of them were at Mu Rousang's request. She lined up according to the order of the five strong men to help her dig a tree hole in the slope.

He turned over the auspicious day. The most recent day was the second day of the second month. The day when he raised his head was the most suitable day to climb the beams.

Fortunately the wood had been dried all winter, and there was only some moisture on the outside layer of the wood. With regards to the wind drying, Mu Rousang found a small pile of space from time to time, Mu Jinzhi was also busy looking for people, and didn't have time to pay attention to her movements.

For a time, a flat area on the western hillside of the small mountain village was bustling with noise and excitement.

On the eighteenth day of the first month, everything was ready. Manager Wu had long since sent Qin Chunshu to bring Master Zhang and his disciples here.

Mu Yun felt like he was being scratched in his heart. If it was his family, how nice would it be, but he didn't dare make a move now. Mu Rousang had helped too many people in the Mu Rousang family, so any one of them could easily beat him up.

When Mulberry heard that Mu Rousang had hired a chef, he thought that his cooking skills were good enough to go and fish for some silver.

Mu Rousang did not give a definite answer. She turned around and told Mu Yiyang everything.

He raised his head and said to the Mulberry: "Mother, you are Sister Sang's Eldest Aunt, and you can fall down and hang out with those people. You are the future Old Granny of the Shangguan Family."

With a single sentence, he caused Mulberry to stumble at home and could only watch from afar. With someone as vile as Mulberry here messing things up, Mu Rousang's movements were very smooth.

This day was suitable for moving the soil. After hearing the news, he had long been waiting at the entrance of the old courtyard.

Qin Chunshu drove a donkey cart s, which were piled with tools to build a house.

"Hibiscus, congratulations!" I never thought that your family would be able to build a big house so quickly. " Because of the matter of his house building the courtyard, Qin Chunshu felt extremely honored, and even wind rose from his footsteps.

Mu Jinzhi was already nine years old, and a half year old was already learning how to handle matters. On the surface, he looked mature enough to match his age, "Chinese toon, Master Zhang, come in."

When Master Zhang saw that there were dozens of people waiting in the courtyard, he waved his hands and called for his disciples to take down all the tools: "Today is the perfect day to move the soil, I wonder how you guys are going to build this second courtyard."

Mu Jinzhi took out a piece of paper from her bosom and handed it over to him. "Master Zhang, look, this is what our family plans to do."

Master Zhang took a look at the design, it was a typical two-way courtyard. The only difference was that the entrance to the courtyard was not facing southeast, but east side.

The 20 odd men followed the Master Zhang's instructions and quickly knocked down the wall with their hammers.

The Qin Er, Aunt Zhu and Qin Er, as well as the Qin Er's niece and niece, were gathered in front of a stove. There were four big pots in a row, and the three of them were busy talking and laughing.

Chungen's daughter-in-law looked at the men in the courtyard enviously: "Sigh, Third Aunt, I never thought that the Mu Family would become rich in the blink of an eye."

Qin Er's knife skills were not ordinary, the sliced meat was very thin and beautiful, and once it was cooked, the quantity was more. Upon hearing her words, he laughed: "You don't even know how greedy I am, it must have been hard on these two children, luckily their days were hot."

Great Aunt Zhu's face was full of approval: "Isn't that so? My son is Mu Jinzhi's classmate, his family's food is not lacking in meat and meat. Even my son would come back everyday saying that he wants to eat some dishes that I have never heard of before."

Now, everyone finally understood that the two children from Mu Clan had gotten rich.

Qin Er glanced at Second Uncle Qin and Butcher Zhu, "The Zhu Family's second uncle, let's not talk about other things, just the wages for the helpers is not a small amount. Each of us will pay twenty gold coins and will even take three meals."

She took out a menu from her bosom and read out, "There are three meals that do not lack meat. Tonight, there are garlic seedlings and fried cabbage, tonight, the chicken is roasting wood ears, tomorrow morning there will be red-braised fish, and then there will be a mushroom broth..."

The wife quickly continued, "Auntie, it's better if you stop reciting it. Look at my Second Gou Zi drooling on the side."

"Pfft, didn't Rou Sang pick up a big piece of leek and egg pancake for him this morning?" Second Uncle Qin's busy work here for half a month could earn him more than three hundred gold. After calculating it, her family had only spent fifteen years and already earned half a silver tael. This made her days more and more prosperous.

"Mother, Rou Sang said that after this room is built, she will have a large embroidery room." After Qin Taohua received the news, she hurriedly ran over to tell her mother.

Aunt Zhu teased her from the side, "How old is it?"

Qin Taohua forgot to ask about this, but she felt that Mu Rousang was very capable: "It's that big, about the size of our room."

"Pfft, go to the side. The house hasn't been built yet, but you know it better than the owner." The more she looked at her daughter, the more she liked her. How many families in the village could compare to the dexterity of peach blossoms?

Qin Er was still wondering why Mulberry's family did not come out to bungee. However, they were very busy with too many things, leaving this matter far behind.

Mu Rousang saw that Mu Jinzhi was busy cooking, so she went over to the stove: "Second Aunt, do you have enough food? If there's not enough to say, I will ask Fuguo to go and bring more over to his father. "

Qin Er was something she trusted the most. She was in charge of everything in the kitchen, so Mu Rousang would only ask her.

"Heh heh, that's enough, that's enough. You're really willing to part with five catties of meat under the heavens." Just from the food alone, Mu Rousang would have to spend three hundred and fifty gold coins. Fortunately, she only spent some copper coins to order five catties of meat per day, adding on the seasonings, she already had everything else.

"What's more, you have to believe in the cutting techniques of the Second Aunt. Even if it is not enough, the Second Aunt will give you enough of it."

Mu Rousang laughed, then waved towards Peach Blossom who was standing by the side. "Come over quickly, be careful of the oil splattering on your body, your New clothes s are useless."

Qin Er saw that his daughter was very bored, he pointed towards the stove and said, "Peach Blossom, help Mother heat up the fire.

The four pots were for boiling water, stewing rice, and two dishes for cooking.

Mu Rousang sat in front of the stove with the peach flower and heated up the fire: "Qin Er, how long has it been watering for?" The twenty-odd men didn't even have time to drink a big pot of water.

"Add two more firewood and it'll start. I'm afraid the pot won't break the firewood today. These people really drink too much." The Qin Er complained happily.

As Aunt Zhu was washing vegetables, Chungen's daughter-in-law was helping her bring water out of the well. "You, I heard that last year, your son had also filled in an acre of land, and it's all thanks to him, your daughter is so good at it. If I had a daughter, I would have sent her to study embroidery."

The Qin Er closed her mouth in joy. Mu Rousang then realised that Qin Taohua had pouted and used a poker to prod her in the stove. She reached out to tug at her clothes: "Peach Blossom, what's wrong?"

With Mu Rousang as a source of ridicule, Qin Taohua started to pour garbage nonstop, "Rou Sang, I'm telling you, if you next run into that old granny who has a big fly by her nose and is smeared with white powder, with a big red flower in her ears and a bloody basin in her mouth, you must remember to hide as far away as possible."

matchmaker? Peach Blossom's description appeared in Mu Rousang's mind: "Pfft, could it be that your Chinese toon is going to kiss again? That's right, your Chinese toon will be fifteen next year! It's time to kiss. "
