Chapter 226 226. Gai Cheng
By the time the village head finished his business and invited the guests back, it was just in time for lunch.

Seeing the rows of dug foundations, thinking of the past few months of fleeing famine, thinking of all kinds of hardships and dangers, the old village chief was so excited that tears filled his eyes, and he finally had his own home.

After lunch, holding their house deeds, many people and the old village chief's eyes turned red with excitement.

After resting for half an hour at noon, everyone followed the master and started to build the real house.

There are many people, and the efficiency is fast. With the participation of all the sons and daughters of Lijia Village, all the houses are built together.

It only took five days to build the outline of the house, and the beams could be erected in one day at most.

With a dedicated master, Gulan's house is the fastest.

The auspicious time chosen at noon yesterday has already been installed on the beams. At this moment, the roof preparations have been completed, and only the tiles are left.

Compared with the brick-and-mud houses in the village, her all-masonry house is naturally faster, and there is no need to prepare mud embryos. If it weren't for Gulan's high requirements, the outline of the house would be almost the same in two days.

Normally, brick and tile houses are made of double bricks, but in order to be safer, all the walls are required to be triple-layered bricks, so naturally it will take more time.

So when the tiles on Gulan's house were completed, the beams on other people's houses began.

Most of the roofs are tile-roofed houses, mainly because there is not so much thatch, so I bought them from the master who built the house.

The advantage is that the thatched roof is indeed much cheaper, but the disadvantage is that it will not last long. If it encounters strong wind and heavy rain, it is easy to be overturned and leak rain, and it has to be cleaned up every year.

With money in hand, it is estimated that almost everyone will choose to use tiles as a roof, saving years of trouble once and for all.

When the houses in the village began to be tiled, Gulan's stables and yards also began to be fenced.

A yard is a must, not to mention his secret, even if there is no secret, no one likes to expose their life to the eyes of others, there is not enough privacy, and there is not enough sense of security.

The courtyard wall is also made of masonry, and it is more than a foot high. The top of the wall is filled with sharp stone corners, porcelain and other things. Unfortunately, there is no glass here. It would be safer if there were such things.

It's not that he doesn't trust the villagers, it's just to make himself feel at ease.

By the time all the doors, windows, courtyard and other things were completed, it was already ten days later, and a huge courtyard stood at the end of Lijia Village, and the speed was not too slow.

It took another five days for all the houses in the village to be completed, but most of them didn't have a big yard like Gu Lan, and they all thought that there was not much technical content in the yard, and they would clean it up slowly in the future.

For half a month, this wasteland has changed drastically. Looking at the houses that have been erected one after another, the village head and everyone in the village are getting more energetic and smiling day by day.

While building the house, Li Shan and Li Mu's father, who were good at carpentry, were also busy.

Especially in the later stage of the house, there will not be so many people. Li Shan's son and Li Mu are also free to follow their fathers to cut wood on the nearby mountain to dry.

Fortunately, the guys who ate on the way to flee from famine were not willing to throw them away. Otherwise, even if they have craftsmanship, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, unless she is willing to buy a set of tools. But once the house is completed, everything will be lacking, and money will be used everywhere. It's so easy.

After drying the wood for a few days, the two families began to make hand-made furniture. Not only did their own family need it, but also other families in the same village needed it. At the same time, they could earn a little money, which was much cheaper than going to the city to buy more.

They are all used to living a hard life and saving money. Naturally, they can save as much as they can. Almost every family has ordered furniture at Li Mu's father's house in Li Shan.

The left and right houses have just been built, and it is impossible to move in immediately. Even if they are baked with fire every day, it will take several days to move in.

So even if the speed of the two companies is slow, everyone is not too anxious.

The house is completed, and the next thing is to pay for it.

Each household calculated the money and paid the labor and materials according to the houses built, and then happily sent the masters away.

Although it cost a lot of money, it was more expensive than building a house in their hometown, but this is Yunzhou City, so how can it be compared with the remote town in their hometown.

The important thing is that it is much better built than the house in my hometown, not only with bricks but also full tile roofs, and the space is also larger.

The most expensive one is Gulan's big yard at the back of the village, all of which cost a hundred taels.

It costs a lot of money, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is several times that of other houses, but it is expensive and expensive.

Not only is the house spacious and bright, every room is paved with stone slabs, even the walkways in the yard are also paved with stone slabs, and the same is true for the backyard. All the roads planned by Gulan are paved with stone slabs.

Even in the row of stables at the back of the courtyard, Gu Lan still chose stone slabs for easy maintenance.

In addition, he also left the remaining bricks and stones and other things from the house. These things may be used someday. pull away.

After sending away the house builder, everyone still lives in tents. The biggest thing in their daily life is to bake the house, and other than that, they try their best to build some simple living utensils.

In addition to baking the house, Gulan went to the wooden workshop in the city to buy furniture.

Her bed, her son's bed, the big girl's bed, and all the furniture, supplies, kitchen utensils, and bathing utensils used in cleaning the house, in short, all have to be bought again.

There is also the problem of water use. Although it is cold now, the surface has not completely frozen, so it should not be a problem for drilling wells.

The well-drilling master was introduced by Gulan through the house-building master. There are many people like them who are well-known in the circle of craftsmen, so Gulan didn't bother Liu Lin.

The date has already been agreed, just in these two or three days, the selected furniture will be a few days later, and Gulan, the main house, wants to hang it out for a few more days.

The master who dug the well came this day. To be honest, if the master who built the house hadn't brought him here, I really don't know where the suddenly built Lijia Village is.

Looking at the half-brick houses that were almost the same, the well-drilling masters were still surprised, thinking to themselves that the conditions of this newly built village were good.The houses are almost all tile roofs, which are stronger than the houses of most farmers in Yunzhou City.

In fact, the rich Yunzhou City, that is, the conditions in the city are better, almost all brick houses, the surrounding villages are still not good, and there are very few brick houses.

Take Chengliu Village, which is the nearest three miles away from Lijia Village, most of them are adobe thatched houses.

The sudden arrival of a few strangers made everyone gather around curiously. After seeing the things on the car and adding their self-introductions, they knew that they were here to dig a well.
He actually forgot about the well, the village chief touched his forehead, and then he realized it.

The main thing is that water is quite convenient these days. There is a river a few hundred meters away from here, and I don't think about the well at all.

So the village head and a group of Wu Yazang followed the masters to Gu Lan's yard, thinking to see the situation first, and if the price was within the acceptable range, discuss with everyone to dig a well in the village together. It's much easier to get to the river.
