?Because of financial and technical problems at home, Xiong Zhuangshan could not hire helpers. Huoqiang Yuchao didn't have it at all, and as for Dilong, it wasn't just any craftsman who could do it casually, and the technology was still in the hands of a few people. So these are all patents, and patents are money, so it is naturally impossible for others to learn them casually. I can only wait for the Xiong brothers to finish their farming work and come together to help build the house.
During this time difference, Xiong Zhuangshan was not idle, and built the high wall by himself first.
The people in the village are not as particular as the people in the town. For the high gates and courtyards, they are all fenced and walled courtyards, which have been in disrepair for a long time. One family becomes two families, without any privacy.
The native peasants are used to it, and they don't feel it. Tang Shou, a descendant who pays great attention to privacy, can't stand it anymore. He always feels that his every move is under the supervision of others.
After he talked with Xiong Zhuangshan, Xiong Zhuangshan agreed without saying a word. The Xiong family's current 87-square-foot homestead requires a lot of green bricks to build a high wall around it, which requires more green bricks than the few small buildings to be built. Green bricks are expensive, and they can be considered a luxury. It can be said that anyone who owns a large tile-roofed house with blue bricks will be a wealthy household in both the town and the village.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the Xiong family's current economy to cover the entire wall with green bricks, so Xiong Zhuangshan chose earthen embryos. Farming is busy in May, and the land is naturally opened, and the soil embryos can be made at will, without money, just by working hard.
The combination of two pieces of soil embryo is just enough for the width of the wall, and the height should be more than one head of Xiong Zhuangshan. With Xiong Zhuangshan's height, there are not many people in Yu Chao who are taller and stronger than him. There were broken pieces of porcelain and sharp stones on the top of the wall.
When he finished building the fence, the busy farming work of the villagers would be completely over, and the Xiong family brothers would put down their work and come to Xiong Zhuangshan's house to help.
"They're all my brothers, and I don't talk about those falsehoods. It's like hiring a worker in the town. Each of you will give you 30 yuan, not including board and lodging." I understand, lest I have no idea and work hard.
However, Xiong Tie and Xiong Zhu waved his hands again and again, shaking his head vigorously. "No, brother-in-law, you can't do this. We still use your cattle for farming at home, which saves us a lot, and we finished planting early this year. You don't need any money for the cattle, how can we ask for it?" You build the house money."
Although they made up their minds to pay wages, the attitude of the two brothers of Xiong Tie and Xiongzhu's family is still very comfortable. Sometimes it's not money that's bad, but things.
Tang Shou was packing the incense sticks into boxes, and stacking the boxes together, "I'll take the wages you get. This time, my family is not going to build a few houses, and it will be done in seven or eight days. If you work for nothing, you will do it for nothing." Yes. This time, my family is going to build three small buildings. Due to technical reasons, I can¡¯t hire others. It¡¯s just you three brothers who can¡¯t finish the work within a month or so.¡±
"It doesn't matter, even if we work for the second brother-in-law's house for the whole summer this year, we can't ask for money." Xiong Zhu saw that his elder brother was scratching his head anxiously and couldn't articulate his rebuttal, so he hurriedly said, "Don't get too involved with us." It is clear, if you want to calculate like that, you gave us the recipe for making pastries, how much should we give you and the second brother?"
Xiong Zhu said so, but Tang Shou couldn't force it. He turned his head to look at Xiong Zhuangshan, and he had to decide this matter.
Xiong Zhuangshan received Tang Shou's gaze, nodded and said: "Then no wages will be paid, and your lunch and dinner will be covered."
Xiong Tie Xiongzhu hurriedly said: "It's so good. I've heard about my brother's cooking skills for a long time, and those young men in Tokyo will all applaud me. Now I'm finally lucky enough to taste it."
The two brothers were not reserved this time, and they wished they could drool like that.
It¡¯s right not to pay for two meals. The two brothers of the Xiong family may think that the money for two meals is nothing, but they don¡¯t know that the meals of the Xiong¡¯s family are different from that of Xiong¡¯s mother. If the homestay is completed, the two brothers¡¯ daily wages will be the same Not enough for a meal.
Tang Shou took out the simple drawings of the fire wall and the earth dragon, and the eyes of the two brothers were straightened.
Xiong Tie asked: "Brother-in-law, you know such details. Did you come from a rich family in the past? Could it be that you were abducted to our Xinghua Village like the villagers?"
No one knows the specific life experience of the original body. At that time, the original body wanted to talk about it, but Xiong Zhuangshan was impatient to listen. As for the villagers, he was not familiar with it. Because of Xiong Zhuangshan's violent temper, the villagers were not close to the original body. They all walked around, and no one listened to what the original body wanted to say. Later, something happened to the original body, and his life experience became a complete mystery. Just because no one knew, the villagers made various speculations. Some said that he was the snail husband who came to repay his favor, and some said that he was the Shuang'er of a wealthy family who was kidnapped and sold.
Xiong Zhuangshan's complexion has changed slightly, his gaze has also become unfathomable, and his two brows are frowned, making that cold and ferocious face even more frightening.
Xiong Tie didn't notice him.The floor was polished so shiny that you could even step on it with bare feet.
Next to the window in the main room is a knee-length desk with a set of porcelain teapots on it. In front of the table is a large armchair covered with long strips of felt. There are single chairs on both sides, and there are cushions on the chairs, and there are several small round stools on the opposite side.
On the other side of the main room are two closed rooms where the decoration inside cannot be seen. Behind it is a spiral wooden staircase leading to the second floor.
Sitting on the single chair, Jin Jincheng realized that although the cushion under the buttocks was made of felt, it was not a single layer, but several layers tied together, pressed very thickly, and then wrapped with linen with beautiful colors and patterns. His guards sat on the small round stools. After they sat down, Tang Shou drank honey water for them. Tea is too expensive, and I can't afford it for the time being, so I can only use honey water instead.
After driving all the way, tired and drunk, drinking a cup of warm honey water, sitting on a cushion, and basking in the sun on the back of the chair is also a wonderful enjoyment.
Jin Jincheng talked some gossip, and finally found a chance to get to the point.
"Xiong Fulang, our Yaxiang has been so slandered by others, what should we do? If we don't come up with some regulations, the business will be snatched up."
"Yaxiang is not a very rare thing to configure. If you study it carefully, although you can't research my recipe, you can imitate it and improve it." Tang Shou was not surprised, and said indifferently: "I knew it sooner or later. Someone will copy it."
Seeing that he looked calmer than his elder brother, Jin Jincheng felt anxious, "Xiong Fulang, why do you have such an attitude, maybe we just watch helplessly, there is nothing we can do."
"Of course there are ways, but they can't knock down the enemy. Speaking of which, there must be a Yaxiang shop. This will not be the first one, nor will it be the last one."
This Jin Jincheng thought of it, at present he doesn't want to have any independent business, he just wants to restore Yaxiang's reputation.
Tang Shou laughed and said: "Mr. Jin Lang, don't be so anxious, give me a few days, and there will be a solution to this matter, and if it works well, our Yaxiang's reputation will not only completely turn around, but also become famous all over the world. You can sit on the leader.¡±
Seeing that Tang Shou spoke so confidently and didn't take the slander in front of him to heart, Jin Jincheng's anxious heart was infected and he slowly calmed down.
"Jin Langjun, the journey is long, I will take you there to rest first, and I will send you lunch later."
"Okay." After Jin Jincheng finished speaking, he waited for Tang Shou to lead him upstairs. Unexpectedly, Tang Shou walked out of the door. Seeing that he didn't follow, he asked strangely, "Why didn't you follow?"
Jin Jincheng asked doubtfully, "Aren't you going upstairs?"
"No, my family lives upstairs, and yours is in another one."
"Ah?" Jin Jincheng grimaced, "Isn't it, Mr. Xiong, your house is built so comfortably, but you don't let us live in it. Wasn't my excitement just now in vain?"
Tang Shou led the way and explained: "No. In fact, I specially set up another quiet and quiet courtyard for the nobles who come to Xinghua Village to run business and play. This is a single courtyard, the entire second floor They are all for you to live in alone.¡±
Jin Jincheng was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Tang Shou to be so generous.
Passing through a verandah, there is a ten-foot-wide peach blossom forest. At this time, the peach blossoms have not yet bloomed, and there are only a few buds drawn from the branches.
"Is this a recent transplant?"
"Exactly, in summer, when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, it will be a scorching beauty. You and your friends are welcome to come and play."
Passing through the peach forest is the guest house.
The layout of the small building is roughly the same as that of Xiong's house. The entrance is the hall, but the guest hall is more like a home, with more clothes hangers with curly moir¨¦ patterns, a few picture books are also placed on the table, and there are darts on the opposite wall. Plate, used to relieve boredom for guests.
There are several other rooms on the first floor, one is a small bathroom. There is no wooden barrel in the bathroom, and a large bathtub is made for later generations. The bathtub is blocked by a wooden cork. The pipe flows out without manpower lifting back and forth. The other two rooms were the dining room and a fire room, a small fire room with two stoves, one for warming the walls and the other for the earth dragon.
The second floor is the master bedroom, the study room and several guest bedrooms, all of which are equally exquisitely decorated. It is the Western European style that is popular in Yuchao's aesthetics.
"Jin Lang is still satisfied."
"Satisfied, very satisfied." Jin Jincheng nodded heavily, which is worthy of his status.
"Jin Langjun, this small villa costs one tael of silver in three days."
Jin Jincheng waved his hand, "The price is not a problem, as long as my husband and I live comfortably." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
