Chapter 17
If it weren't for the strength and speed of the three members of the Yao family, one for two, three for six, and the mud bricks were not finished, they would want to run away.

Of course, it is impossible to build a house on four or fifty acres of land. Liu San carefully checked the terrain, looked at Fengshui, knelt down and touched the ground several times, and then planted a green bamboo on a piece of land, "Here For the west courtyard wall, it is built here."

Yao Lan didn't know the way, so she couldn't help asking, "What's so good here?"

Liu San pointed to the place where the bamboo was inserted, "After the house is built, wells can be drilled here."

Can you see this?Yao Lan was greatly impressed.

Drilling a well?The ears of the workers were all pricked up. Could it be that the Yao family is still planning to dig a well?
What Yao Lan said about watering the ground was that the Yao family was going to dig a well?

If there are more wells here, even if they don't help them water the land, as long as they are allowed to fetch water, then their life will be a little more comfortable than in the village, so they will work a little harder than before.

After determining the direction, sidelines, and four corners, it was time to choose a date. No matter how impatient Yao Lan was, the start date was set to be an auspicious day five days later.

It only takes more than ten days to build a house, but it takes seven or eight days for the mud bricks to dry completely.

After five days, you can dig the foundation and lay stones first, and when the mud bricks are dry, you can just build the wall.

When they learned that the Yao family had to build not only 21 houses but also tiles, everyone was surprised again.

The most surprising thing was that they invited the experts in the city to help. Not only did they not want money, but they also stuck stones and tiles upside down. They are simply fools!
So what will the Yao family do to them?It's really hard to say, everyone's heart is half cold again.

After everything was confirmed, Liu San introduced to Yao Lan the person he brought——Li Yang.

Li Yang looked a little stooped, and he was much whiter than Liu San. He was a carpenter, and he mainly came to ask about windows.

The size of the doors and windows must be made in advance. It is more secure to install them when building the house than to install them later. Li Yang has never done sliding windows. Although he thinks this thing is convenient, it has great shortcomings. This kind of window must be embedded before the window is installed, the first time is fine, and it may be difficult to replace it in the future.”

The window frame is fine. The window leaves are made of thin wooden poles for the frame and window paper. They are very light, but they are easy to break. You only need to replace one part of the outer opening, and you need to replace the entire frame on the left and right sides.

Yao Lan found a tree branch and drew directly on the ground, "Just make the upper track twice as deep as the lower one. When replacing or installing, just lift the window leaf up and it can be easily taken out."

The reason is very simple, many door hinges are installed in this way, but the windows are so long and narrow that I didn't expect that.

Liu San patted him on the shoulder, "How about it, I'm not in vain."

Li Yang said repeatedly: "It's not in vain, it's not in vain."

"Mrs. Yao, have you ordered all the timber for your house? If not, how about ordering it with my family?"

What Yao Lan likes most is to save trouble. Before he could agree, he heard him continue: "I'll give you a [-]% discount? No, it's [-]% off. I can't get your advice for nothing."

The two sides happily agreed, and Yao Lan continued, "Can Uncle Li make furniture?"

Liu San smiled and said, "Madam Yao is the right person to ask, the Li family is all carpenters."

The worker thought it was a fool when he heard that someone took the initiative to change the [-]% off to [-]% off, but now the fool saw a few pieces of torn paper and turned the furniture into [-]% off.

Is the Yao family's notoriety in the city so bluffing?

That's right, it's better to harm the people in the city than to harm them mud legs.

After asking about her own family, Yao Lan asked about building a bridge. It would be much more convenient to have a bridge to go to the city.

She knew that there were wooden bridges and stone bridges in ancient times, but she didn't know how to build them or how much they would cost.

Li Yang had seen the width of the river a long time ago, and said: "If it is a stone bridge, it will cost more than a hundred taels of silver; if it is a wooden bridge, it will cost more than forty taels of silver; if it is only a few logs to build a single-plank bridge, it will cost one tael The silver is enough."

So, one tael of silver is gone.Make do with it first, and then build a better bridge when you have money later.

The Yao family is really rich, so they don't have to go to the city in the future, even if they rarely go to the city, but they don't spend their own money, it's convenient but what's wrong with their own people?
On the same day, Yao Lan paid everyone's wages, [-] Wen a day, everyone was less than a penny.

Farmers are all farmers, and it is not too difficult to earn a copper coin, otherwise the wasteland would not be so cheap. Now that there are three people in each family, isn't it worth sixty copper coins? !
Money, help the Yao family build a house, sixty copper coins a day, maybe you can buy a few acres of land to open up wasteland.

Yao Lan said: "Don't hide the money when you take it back. Eat enough for the next few days, and you will have the strength to work after five days."

As long as the wages are not deducted, it is right to eat enough to work, and it is better for the Yao family to pay without food.

In this way, five days later, the Yao family started construction smoothly.

Before starting construction, Yao Xiangbei took the whole family to change into brand new clothes, bought live chickens, live fish and a large piece of meat, and chose a piece of land on the hill behind the homestead to worship the God of Earth.

Doing as the Romans do, Yao Lan followed Yao Xiangbei and Yao Sanshun and knelt down in the direction designated by Liu San to worship for a few times, and then watched her father slash the kitchen knife, blood flowed from the chicken's neck, and then poured the blood on the paper money, and was killed. It can still move when thrown on the ground, which is thrilling to see.

Liu San shouted: "Good luck!"

Yao Xiangbei yelled: "Yao's ancestors bless..."

Copying and laying out the line, starting to break the ground, money can make everyone work very hard, plus the strength of the Yao family, and Liu San's guidance, the foundation was dug faster than expected, and a circle was formed in an instant ground feeling.

Yao Lan pressed the foundation the next day, and went to the city after working for an hour.

Yao Sanshun naturally knew what she was going to do. He didn't think that five taels of silver for the cooking house was a small amount of money. What if the family recovered from their illness?
"When my sister goes, hide first, and see if the young master is good or bad. If it's good, you go to ask for money, if it's bad, you come back quickly."

Yao Lan really wanted to ask, with her body shape, even if she loses a dozen or twenty catties, she might not be noticeable to the naked eye, so where do you hide so that others won't notice?He replied: "All listen to the third brother, the third brother is the smartest."

In the past few days, I always felt that my sister was a little different, which made him completely useless at home. Now that he was affirmed, Yao Sanshun instantly regained his confidence as a brother.

The single-plank bridge is just a simple three-foot-wide bridge made of eight pieces of wood. It was okay when Li Yang and Liu San came over, but the bridge started to shake when Yao Lan passed by.

Discrimination, definitely weight discrimination!
