Chapter 51 Get up early and go to bed late

   Qiao Yi thought that Mu Yun was just talking, but he didn't realize that this guy really got up early and went to bed late.

  Even they have to get up early and go to bed late.

   As for being unable to see in the dark, I’m not afraid, and I don’t know how Mu Yun did it. He made an oil lamp with rapeseed oil, and just lit the lamp to peel the shrimp.

  It wasn't until the seventh day that the house was going to be erected, and several people were able to rest.

  Looking down at his slightly swollen fingers, Joey sighed.

  Although it is said that this is a business without money, it is really tiring.

   It's not just her, Mu Qing's fingers are not much better.

   gasped for air in pain, but persisted.

   "Sister, I'm going to the beam today, and there's no one around your house, so don't worry about anything, just go straight to the beam if you want to."

   "Sister Chun listens to you, then let's go straight to the beam. I will cook white noodles for everyone at noon."

  One has been busy peeling shrimp these days, but there is no meat at home, otherwise it would be good to make dumplings.

   "No, your hands are like this, so don't cook the noodles, just do as usual."

  In the past few days, she has been catching shrimp and eating them at home, and the food is so refreshing.

  If it wasn't for Qiao Yi, would she be able to eat such delicious food?

  So she was grateful in her heart, grateful to Joey for telling them that this was edible.

  In the past, she thought that Joey had better cook something delicious, but now it's different, as long as he can eat enough.

   "Okay, listen to you, I will treat you to eat when the house is finished."

  Joy didn't show his strength either. Making noodles is not like making yellow noodle pancakes. No kneading is required.

  The speed of beam loading was very fast, and the main beam was finished before noon.

   Said it was a simple meal, but Joey didn't.

   She boiled broken rice and dried rice, then fried a mushroom, fried a shredded potato, and stewed a cabbage.

  While eating, Wang Chun was indescribably surprised when he saw a large bowl of steaming white rice in front of him.

   She couldn't bear to eat at home, but Joey actually cooked so much for them.

   After eating, Wang Chun and others worked harder.

  After the beams are installed, the roof is made, and then bricks and tiles are laid.

   This job looks simple, but it took three days to do it.

  No more, no less, exactly ten days to complete the work.

   "Sister Chun, I will pay my wages before it gets too late."

  Joy came over and spoke while everyone was cleaning up the mess.

   "Hey, good."

  Wang Chun responded, put down his work, and came to Qiao Yi.

   The two of them didn't dislike it either, they directly chose a clean place and sat on the floor.

   "Six guys did it for twelve days, six guys did it for ten days, eight guys did it for eight days, right?"

   "Exactly."

  Wang Chun nodded.

   "I'll give you their wages, and you can give them to them when the time comes. What do you think?"

"Row."

  Wang Chun nodded. This is usually the case for hosts. After all, it is very troublesome to settle accounts.

   "A total of one thousand nine hundred and sixty wen, this is two taels of silver, and the rest is considered hard work."

  Qiao Yi took two taels of silver and handed it to Wang Chun.

   "You can't do it, just give as much as you have."

  Wang Chun refused, Qiao Yi is so nice, how can she charge more money?

   "Don't rush to refuse, I still have something to trouble you."

   Qiao Yi pushed Wang Chun's hand back.

   "I want to pave the ground in the yard with blue bricks, and I'm digging a well, which should be deeper. I also want to build a two-meter-high fence."

   "Qingzhuilei's fence?"

  Wang Chun was a little surprised by Qiao Yi's thoughts.

   Well drilling is normal, which is more convenient. But the ground is paved with blue bricks, and there is a two-meter-high wall, how many blue bricks are needed.

   "Well, enclose all the houses, the side house on the right, and the pigsty and chicken coop on the far left are all enclosed. The front is extended by 20 meters, and at least one mu of land is reserved behind."

  Joy gestured while talking.

  She had this plan before, but because of insufficient money, she could only hold back.

   Now that she has money, of course she immediately erected the courtyard wall.

   Only by building up the courtyard wall can it be safe.

   "How do you lay the blue bricks in the yard?"

  Wang Chun calculated the amount of green bricks needed in his mind.

   "It is enough to spread all the front of the door, from the front of the main house, directly to the gate, and spread all the sides of the side room, and there is no need for the pigsty."

   Except for the pigsty and chicken coop on the left side, there is only open space, and it will be time to plant a la carte or something.

   "Also, I want to build two huts in the backyard. I am building a two-meter-wide green brick road in the middle, and a one-meter-wide green brick road leading to the hut."

  Joy said everything he could think of.

  Wang Chun was writing on the sidelines.

   "Sister, if you do this, the blue bricks will cost at least two thousand yuan, which is more than what you need to build a house, and it won't cost you twenty taels."

  Wang Chun wanted to persuade Qiao Yi.

  It is enough to use mud bricks for the wall, which is very cheap.

   "It's okay, some money has to be spent. I want to drill a big well, how much will it cost?"

   "The deeper the more expensive, how deep do you want?"

   "Twenty meters deep. If possible, it should be deeper. I want to hit a big one directly."

  Qiaoyi thought about it, her house is by the river, the water level should not be low, but the problem is that her house is halfway up the hill.

  Ten meters is enough for an ordinary well, but the minimum in her house is 20 meters.

   "Okay, let's drill according to 20 meters first. This 20-meter well needs at least ten taels of silver."

  Wang Chun became more and more frightened.

  How much money did Joey earn? How did you earn it?

   It's only been a few days of work, so I'm afraid the cost of going up and down is quite a lot, right?

   "Okay, I'll give you thirty taels first, and if it's not enough, tell me. Sister Chun, please take this matter to heart. Help me finish it as soon as possible."

  Qiao Yi handed it to Wang Chun directly and readily.

  Wang Chun took the silver and nodded heavily.

  She didn't expect Joey to trust her so much, she will definitely handle this matter well.

  After Wang Chun left with his people, Mu Qing and the others went to look at the home they had built.

   Qiao Yi is afraid of the cold in winter, so each house has a heated kang, connected to the heated kang is a small stove.

  In winter, you can boil water or bake some potatoes or something.

  Because the chimney is reserved, you are not afraid of being choked by the smoke in the house in winter.

  Mu Qing and the others looked at all four brick houses before coming to Qiao Yi.

   "My wife, this house is different from Grandma Mu's house."

  Mu Yun spoke first, and the excitement in his tone couldn't be restrained.

  The big boy with a calm personality is now like a child.

  “I asked them to widen it during construction. Each house has an inner room. When it’s cold in winter, they live in the inner room. When it’s hot in summer, they sleep in the outer room.”

   "How do we live in this house?"

  Mu Xuan asked a topic that everyone cares about.

   There are only four rooms in this house. How should Joey allocate them?

   "We will reserve one room for future guests. I will live in one of the remaining three rooms, and you brothers will live in two rooms, or four people can live in one room."

   "That's it for this year, wait for the spring of next year. I will build two rooms on the left side. The space has been reserved, and then we can have one room for each of us."
