Chapter 29 Another day I want to beat up a man

Mrs. Zhang hadn't had time to be surprised that Qin Yao, a woman who couldn't even make clothes, heard her say that she wanted to rebuild the house.

Thinking about it in my mind, I just bought so many things yesterday, and I paid off the debt to the third child, and there is still money to build a house, how much money is it enough?

During the six days of going up the mountain, I'm afraid they hunted big guys that they didn't even dare to think about!

Mrs. Zhang was so shocked that she didn’t know what to say, so she could only shout towards the back of the house:
"The head of the family, come quickly, the third family is looking for you!"

He and Qiu in the west room heard the noise, stopped what they were doing and came out.

Qin Yao immediately rushed over with the cotton and cloth in her arms, "Sisters-in-law, can you help me make some clothes?"

"I have three pieces of cloth here. I will make a set of winter cotton clothes for Dalang and I's four children. Then I will make a lining for each of them. The red piece will be used to make New Year's clothes for the four of them. It will be festive."

Qin Yao spoke so fast that neither He nor Qiu had a chance to speak, so she finished all the requests.

She was giving people jobs so openly that even if she just ate the meat she bought yesterday, she felt a little unhappy.

Moreover, they are busy weaving now, if they help Qin Yao make clothes, it will take a lot of time.

But soon, Qin Yao said again: "When I bought the cloth, the shopkeeper did the calculation for me. These three bolts of cloth and cotton, after finishing what I wanted, there is still a lot left. If the two sisters-in-law don't dislike it, they will treat it as a gift." It took a lot of hard work.”

Hearing this, He Shi and Qiu Shi remembered to take a look at what kind of cloth she was holding.

They are all made of cotton, and the cotton you buy is the best. It is fluffy and big, and it is warm at first sight.

The most special thing is the red cloth, colored cloth is expensive, if according to what Qin Yao said, only make clothes for the four little dolls of the Dalang brothers and sisters, with their tailoring skills, there will be an extra adult's material.

Jinbao and Jinhua at home can be made by one person.

There are still a lot left over from the other two horses. It is enough to make a short shirt for my in-laws and my own man.

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law looked at each other, smiled, and said that Qin Yao was too polite, and reached out to pick up the fabrics.

He hurriedly took the big bag of cotton and the needle and thread that Qin Yao had brought into the house, and said politely: "Brother and sister, you are too polite. You even have the needle and thread ready."

Qin Yao smiled and said, "Thank you, sisters-in-law. It's all thanks to you."

"Brother and sister, please don't say that. The whole family is divided if you say that. My sister-in-law and I can finish it in two or three days and send it to you then." Mrs. Qiu smiled softly. She had a quiet temperament and spoke in a leisurely manner. Slow sounds are nice too.

The elder sister-in-law He Shi is completely different, she is very busy.

Old man Liu came over, and the corner of his clothes seemed to be stained a little, and he smelled as he walked.

Mrs. Zhang stepped aside and continued to pick her vegetable seeds, but her ears perked up.

Old man Liu sat down at the square table in the main room, poured a bowl of water and drank it all in one gulp, put down the bowl, and asked doubtfully, "What's the matter, third daughter-in-law?"

Qin Yao sat down on the bench opposite him, told her about her plans to build a wall and renovate her house, and asked Old Man Liu if he had any money-saving experience to impart.

Old man Liu thinks this is a good thing, but he has to ask how much budget Qin Yao has.

"If it's just to build a wall, we can go to the river to pick up stones and build them up as a foundation, and then go to the Nanshan Mountain to dig some soil to surround it. It won't cost much money, just spend some effort on our own."

"But if you want to repair the house and want to build tiles, then you can't save this money."

Qin Yao nodded, "I know this. To tell you the truth, I have gained a lot from entering the mountain this time. I still have seven or eight taels left in my hands after paying off the debt. I just thought, why not use it to repair the house. In case winter comes, I will sleep in fear."

In fact, there were 25 taels left, so she had some reservations.

Mrs. Zhang paused for a moment when she was selecting vegetables, and Mrs. He and Mrs. Qiu from Westinghouse also stopped when they were threading needles.

They all calculated in their hearts how much money Qin Yao made on this trip to the mountain.

The three rolls of cloth and the cotton needle and thread alone now cost about ten taels. For the large bags of fine rice and other sundries yesterday, five taels was absolutely necessary.

In addition to the seven or eight taels we are talking about now, and the 38 taels that I paid the debt to the third child yesterday, this is 60 taels!

"Hiss~" The two sisters looked at each other and took a deep breath.

Old man Liu was also shocked, he couldn't hold back, and asked curiously: "Old man, what kind of guy did you hunt when you went into the mountains this time?"

Qin Yao replied calmly, "A black bear."

There's nothing to hide about this, if they didn't ask yesterday, of course she wouldn't rush to tell others that she shot a big black bear.

But whenever someone asks, she answers.

For a while, everyone in the old house stopped, only the hens were still clucking in the yard.

It wasn't until Qin Yao coughed that everyone came back to their senses and couldn't calm down anymore. They stood up and surrounded Qin Yao, asking her how she did it.

Qin Yao said concisely and concisely, "That's it, then that, and that's it."

Everyone in the old house: "." You know nonsense.

But I also know that Qin Yao didn't intend to explain the process in detail to them, so he didn't ask any more questions in resentment, all kinds of imaginations in his mind, and the eyes he looked at Qin Yao became a lot more awed for a while.

Qin Yao didn't care about these things, and discussed with Old Man Liu about the details of building the house, who to find, how to arrange the work, where to buy materials, and how much time it would take.

Old man Liu was in a good mood. He felt that Qin Yao asking him this question meant that she took her father-in-law seriously.

Building a house is actually very easy as long as you have money.

During the two months of slack farming, each family was just doing small tasks like adding some fertilizer to the nearby fields, and the village was full of people.

There are four generations in the Liu family village, and they all belong to the same ancestor, and the clan is united.

In the eyes of rural people, building a house is not a technical job. Even if you don't know how to do it, you have seen other people's houses being repaired.

In this way, technical jobs have mature conditions.

A chief engineer is also needed. Mr. Liu recommends Uncle Jiu who lives at the entrance of the village. He has rich experience and high prestige. Guys dare not disobey him. With him in control, there will be no situation where there are multiple styles on one wall.

I heard that Qin Yao will add two new rooms, a stove room, and a bath room. Although Old Man Liu doesn't know what a bath room is, it should be counted as one room.

If bricks and tiles are used, the budget will be high, so he suggested a combination of earthen walls, wooden beams and tiles.

In fact, further south in Kaiyang County, there are wooden houses built with wood. This kind of wooden house is warm in winter and cool in summer, and is much more comfortable to live in than adobe house.

Originally, old man Liu wanted to recommend it, but when he thought about the high cost of these woods, he had to prepare them one or two years in advance, and he couldn't buy them for a while, so he just let it go.

"The tiles are bought in Xiahe Village. The slopes of Nanshan Mountain are full of soil. I will go and talk to the village chief and patriarch. The houses in our village are built with soil from there."

Old man Liu drank another bowl of water, and frowned in embarrassment, "There is still a lack of wood, the third child has already been distributed, and his forest has been sold out, you have to buy it from the villagers."

The tiles are heavy and must be supported by beams.Good beam, that's not cheap either.

Qin Yao asked: "How much silver will it cost?"

Old man Liu said, "About four taels."

Qin Yao: Today is another day I want to beat Liu Laosan!
