ps: Dear friends, the internet at home was down yesterday, so these two chapters were sent to the office this morning. They are to make up for the three chapters promised yesterday. There will be another chapter tonight.
Wu quickly found out that Qiao Mingjin bought a homestead and four acres of high-quality paddy fields in the village.
She didn't think Qiao Mingjin had the ability to buy paddy fields on her own. And the matter of the homestead was nothing to do with Qiao Mingjin.
It's just that she has to talk to her son Haosheng. It's not easy for a woman to take care of her children at home and cause a lot of trouble. If something shameful happens in the middle, wouldn't she also embarrass her son?
She wondered when she had forced her son to cut through the mess quickly.
When she heard that Qiao Mingjin had directly handed over four acres of paddy fields to Lu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to take care of, Mrs. Wu felt heartbroken. She was so heartbroken that she shuddered.
This is four acres of land! Their in-laws only have a few acres of land.
I'll give you 50% of the grain! If I give you two or three, it's a pretty good achievement.
The land has been planted by other people. As long as you take care of it, how much time does it take to harvest the grain? Even hiring a part-time worker does not cost more than 20 or 30 yuan a day.
What a prodigal bitch!
There are so many people in their in-laws' family who are idle, and it's not like they don't know that Zhongyao's elder brother and younger brother are idle at home! Why not leave the family members to the family members?
What a white-eyed wolf! An unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!
Let the elder brother and uncle of the family do the planting. After harvesting the grain, can we not give some to their mother and daughter? She can easily finish the four acres of land by herself. Is Mrs. Qiao so squeamish that she can't farm? Of course.
Is she from a wealthy family?
I really don’t know how expensive firewood is when I’m not a home owner.
She doesn't plant her own land, but helps others take care of the wooden stakes. I really don't know what she wants to do. She has to teach Wan'er bad things too. Her son is just a piece of meat at the moment.
It seemed like she had to talk to the third child.
Sun and Yu soon learned about this.
The two of them were also very puzzled. They were all members of the same family, so why didn't they give the fields to their men to farm? Did they treat her badly before? Why didn't they think of them? Instead, they thought of Su who was across the room?
Otherwise, their small family can save some money.
Mother-in-law Wu is becoming more and more stupid now. She doesn't know why she should keep the money? Then her daughter is so precious? Give her all the family wealth to Yue Xiaoman, and the water thrown by the married daughter can still be used
Do you expect her to help her parents and brothers in the future?
After giving birth to a child, why don’t you put your husband’s family first? You don’t care about the son you gave birth to, but you care about the girl who lost money.
The sisters-in-law were very dissatisfied.
Other families have received money for digging wooden stakes from Mr. Qiao one after another. I heard that if you dig a wooden stake for a few days, you can get one tael of silver! Some even got two or three taels.
It only takes a few days.
It's all the fault of mother-in-law Wu, that's what they said at first. Unexpectedly, she saw that her two sons were unwilling to move. And when she heard that the old Yue-tou said that she took the money from Mrs. Qiao because she was afraid that the villagers would gossip, she was stunned.
The family members are not allowed to dig piles.
Although they were not very happy at the beginning, the money they had worked so hard for would not end up in their pockets in the end. But if Mrs. Wu had persisted and not been persuaded by them, wouldn't she have gotten the money in vain now?
How long has it been since their son had eaten meat? Even if they were given a smaller two-bedroom apartment, they would have at least a few hundred coins per bedroom. They could buy a lot of things!
The two sisters-in-law immediately felt regret and hatred.
They thought they would have to go to Mrs. Qiao's place again no matter what. If Mrs. Wu wouldn't allow them to dig, they would go back to their parents' homes and call their brothers, nephews, and relatives over. Even if they didn't dig, their parents' families would not give them any money.
?
Qiao Mingjin didn't know that the land she bought and the paddy fields she bought actually made Lao Yuetou's family feel upset.
After she bought the homestead, she asked Yun Jin, who was going to the city to pick up the knife, to notify Mr. Saturday.
The next day, Mr. Liu brought someone here.
In addition to the masters and craftsmen who look at the land and build houses, there are also master carpenters.
The group looked around and then into the woods, and heard Father He and the others talking about wood carvings and the like.
After the builders saw the land, they drew simple drawings for Qiao Mingjin and Zhou Yanqing.
Zhou Yanqing asked Qiao Mingjin for his opinion. Qiao Mingjin said that in addition to the warehouse and workshop, two more rows of houses, either single rooms, double rooms or a common shop, must be prepared for the carpenters to live in the future.
If you can't come alone, just arrange to stay at Qiao Mingjin's house.
Her house is not open to live in. After the workshop is built in the future, even He's father, Yun Jin, and others will have to live there. Living in her house is only temporary, and it is indeed a bit inconvenient.
Zhou Yanqing looked at the woman in front of him who was chatting with the house builder, and saw the concentration on her face, and his heart started to soar.
This woman seemed to give him a different feeling every time. She could bring him a different experience every time. She watched this woman go from being curious to becoming more and more comfortable now.
Several people have been watching the homestead all afternoon. In addition to discussing how to build the workshop, they also discussed how to allocate personnel, how to arrange follow-up matters, etc.
Zhou Yanqing definitely cannot go to Xiahe Village often. He has many things to take care of. He is busy enough with the affairs of the Zhou Mansion, and he cannot always keep an eye on this stall.
So he brought a steward here to introduce it to Qiao Mingjin, and from now on the steward would take care of the affairs of this workshop for him.
The steward's surname is also Zhou, and he is a son of the Zhou family. He has been a servant of the Zhou family for three generations and is loyal to the Zhou family. His grandfather was a follower of the old man, and his father is now the chief steward of the family. He is thirty-five years old.
A carpentry shop owned by the Zhou family.
Zhou Yanqing felt that the workshop was more important, so he took him out to take care of this stall.
The steward Zhou didn't seem to be a shrewd and cunning person. He was very respectful to his master Zhou Yanqing.
Qiao Mingjin chatted with him for a while and found that this man was very knowledgeable and proficient in wood and various wooden works. Qiao Mingjin was very happy to see it.
She was most afraid that Zhou Yanqing would send someone who knew nothing and was bossy.
However, it seems that the person who chose Zhou Yanqing was very careful and well chosen. He was also polite to a country girl like her. Qiao Mingjin looked very satisfied.
Afterwards, Qiao Mingjin talked to Zhou Yanqing about hiring people, lumber, etc.
Now it is clear what kind of wood stakes can be found in the forest, and if you want to make better root carving works that are worthy of collection and can be sold at a high price, good wood is indispensable.
Precious woods such as mahogany, nanmu, rosewood, ebony and other hardwoods have always been sought after by rich families. Such people are not afraid of asking for more money, but they are afraid that your goods will not be good.
She is not looking for expensive wood now, she only wants wooden stakes, and she must be able to find one or two. And the camphor that can emit natural fragrance, just make some small ornaments, ladies can put them in the bedroom to play with
Woolen cloth.
Now that she has the Zhou family joining her, she doesn't have to worry about the woodcarving master. What she lacks now is good wood.
After listening to Qiao Mingjin's words, Zhou Yanqing said that he would handle this matter. Good wood may be hard to find, so are you worried that you won't be able to find the remaining wooden piles? I believe that not many people are interested in root carving.
Qiao Mingjin didn't doubt Zhou Fu's ability at all. Now that Zhou Yanqing had said that he would be responsible for finding her, and listened to his relaxed tone, she didn't have to worry.
What she has to do is to urge the workshop to produce it as soon as possible. Then prepare the raw materials, and then lead the people to complete the preliminary processing steps.
When Zhou Yanqing left, he took housekeeper Zhou with him.
He wanted to keep someone to help Qiao Mingjin, but there was no place for him to live. Moreover, the workshop had to wait for the masters to return to the city before they could draw out the drawings, which would take several days. And he still had to find someone to look up the almanac.
You have to wait until you choose an auspicious day before you can start work.
When Zhou Yanqing left, he left a thousand taels of silver and an account book with Qiao Mingjin.
He had no doubt that Qiao Mingjin didn't know how to keep accounts. How could a person who could move the beads on an abacus so smoothly not know how to keep accounts? Looking at the calm look on Guan Zhou's face when she was teaching her, he knew that she just knew how to do it.
More than Butler Zhou.
Zhou Yanqing is becoming more and more curious about this woman. It seems that someone needs to investigate this woman carefully...
The next day after Qiao Mingjin sent Zhou Yanqing away, the well diggers from Shanghe Village finally found time to come to her house.
Sister Xiu helped find them before, but then they had something to do and have been putting it off until now. In addition, Qiao Mingjin was also busy with other things, so she didn't find anyone again.
When the master who dug the well came over with his three apprentices, they were unanimously welcomed by Qiao's family.
Although drinking water is convenient in the village, if there is a well at home, who is willing to go out to fetch water? Isn’t everything convenient?
The happiest people are Ming Qi and Xiao Wan'er.
The two aunts and nephews ran around happily in the yard, and even went to the village to find their good friends. They brought them all to the house to see them. They wanted to tell everyone that they were going to dig a well at home.
No need to fetch water.
Sister Xiu, Mrs. Su, Mrs. Zhang and others were also very happy for Qiao Mingjin. Back then they saw her living alone with her daughter outside the village. There were no neighbors around her, and her family had no land, no land, and no bed.
!I couldn’t help but worry for the two of them.
Now that I see the two of them getting better and better, I feel happy for them from the bottom of my heart.
Everyone in the family, including Yun Jin's father and others, stopped working and were busy helping out.
Qiao Mingjin had asked Yun Jin to buy a lot of floor tiles, bluestones and slabs before. After digging the well, it would be better to lay a circle of floor tiles, bluestones and the like around it. It would also be convenient for doing laundry and vegetables without having to use water and mud.
Build two more stone pools, one for washing large clothes and quilts, and the other for washing sweet potatoes and other items.
There is no need to look at auspicious days when digging a well. The master who dug the well just looked around in the courtyard and chose a place without even digging the ground. He even told Qiao Mingjin that there would be water without digging a few meters.
The underground water source is very abundant.
Everyone was very happy. Work started on the same day.
With the help of the well-drilling master and his three apprentices, as well as He's father Yun Jinyue Dalei and others, the water came out at sunset that afternoon.
The well was built the next morning. There were many people, and Sister Xiu Zhang and others also came to help. The floor tiles and bluestone slabs on the well platform were all laid out in the afternoon... (To be continued. If you like this work
