Dressed as a mother-in-law, she leads the whole family to turn over

Yang Erdan naturally knew where the money came from, and immediately frowned and refused to accept it, "That was given by Zhou Hao to Miss Xu. I know that Miss Xu repaired Zhou Hao's things. This is both an apology and a thank you gift. It is not mine. Brother Xu insists on giving it to me, but I will have to give it back to Miss Xu later. It is not safe for a woman to carry so much money with her."

Yang Erdan said he wanted nothing, but Xu Nuoshan really had no choice.

Xu Nuoyan was speechless when he saw his elder brother coming back. Not only did he not give out any money, but he also brought back a food box.

Madam Zhou was also a little confused.

Xu Nuoshan was about to cry but had no tears, "I wanted to give money, but Chang Lin said he didn't want anything, and he was looking for trouble to fool me. It turned out to be like this!"

Xu Nuoyan looked at Mrs. Zhou, "Auntie, I think my eldest brother has become stupid in studying. This can't continue!"

Mrs. Zhou nodded seriously, "Indeed! How can you give something to someone else and not only fail to deliver it, but also take it away! Really."

Mrs. Zhou was so angry that she didn't know what to say. Xu Nuoshan felt even more guilty, "What should I do now? Should I go and deliver it again?"

Xu Nuoyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "And then come back with some things?"

Xu Nuoshan didn't dare to say anything for a moment.

Madam Zhou sighed, "Forget it! Since Chang Lin doesn't want to say that, just keep it as a dowry. Anyway, you two will live together and use the money together from now on."

"Yes, yes, Aniang is right." Xu Nuoshan hurriedly tried to make amends, but was rejected by his mother and sister again.

Xu Nuoyan went back to the room and took out some broken silver, "Mom, here are the eight taels of silver I saved to build a house. I will give it to the second young master first. If there is not enough, I will make up for it."

Originally, the two of them agreed that Yang Erdan would build a house for the Xu family for free, and the Xu family agreed to his experiment. Now that they were engaged, she felt embarrassed if she didn't pay.

Madam Zhou nodded repeatedly, "I want to give you money. Your agreement cannot count at all. If your future mother-in-law knew about it, she would think we were taking advantage of Chang Lin!"

Yang Erdan felt helpless when he saw Mrs. Zhou coming to give the money, but the elder insisted on giving it. He really couldn't deal with it like he did with Xu Nuoshan, so he could only accept the money.

The next day, he asked Butler Zhu to go to Fucheng to find two old masters, one named Chen and the other named Zhang. Master Chen and Master Zhang each had three apprentices. They were all famous old craftsmen in Fucheng. Yang Erdan followed They sat down and had a chat and immediately decided to work with them on a long-term basis.

From now on, all the work that Yang Erdan takes here will be done by two masters. When the two masters build houses for others, they can buy bricks and stones from him and get interest.

The two masters had seen the inn and were quite confident in the masonry made by Yang Erdan, but they had not personally tested it, so they were still a little uneasy.

Yang Erdan immediately took them to the Xu family's homestead.

Master Chen looked at the surrounding environment and muttered: "The terrain here is relatively high, but we are close to the sea, and there are hurricanes every summer. In severe cases, even the entire fishing village is wiped out. The second young master is our local, You should have seen it before!”

Yang Erdan shook his head honestly, "No! My hometown is in Ping'an County, which is some distance from the seaside, and our village is surrounded by mountains. Even if a hurricane comes, the wind will not be strong where we are."

"That's great!" Master Chen sighed.

Master Zhang then said: "Nowadays, fishermen on the seaside use stones to build their houses if they can afford it. Rich people in the city who live in blue brick houses and courtyards also use stones to lay foundations, which are waterproof. After all, blue bricks are not as waterproof as stone strips." . Even poor families will use stones to lay the foundation as much as possible. I think the second young master’s inn uses stone strips to lay the foundation.”

Yang Erdan really didn't pay attention to this. After all, an inn is different from a house. The master who came to build it at that time was an expert and he would listen to what others said. He didn't expect this to be the reason.

Seeing that he was confused, the two old masters taught him a lot about local house building techniques. Yang Erdan wrote them down one by one.

In the end, it was decided that the Xu family's house would be built with stone slabs as the foundation, and they just used eight taels of silver to buy the stone slabs.

The old master knew a powerful quarryman and introduced him to Yang Erdan.

The group of people discussed and spent ten days finishing the foundation of the Xu family.

At this time, Jiang Ning, who was far away in Rongshu Village, also started to get busy.

Last year, the experimental fields were washed away by floods. She only had time to rescue part of them, because the wild yams left were not very big, so she did not harvest them. Instead, she transplanted some from the mountains and filled them in, treating dead horses as live ones. Doctor, the weather is going well this year, and the things she has worked so hard to plant can finally be accepted.

In order to confirm the growth of wild yams, she personally dug a hole in the field with a hoe. As soon as she entered, she saw a snake emerging from the dense vines. She was so frightened that she screamed and ran two miles away.

I had no choice but to ask the village chief for help and recruit some people to work.

The strong labor force in the village all went out to build houses after the autumn harvest, leaving only middle-aged and elderly people.

When the village chief came over, he thought something big had happened. When he heard that it was digging the ground, he immediately went to help with a hoe.

When we arrived at the destination, the village chief was surprised, "Big head motherfucker, I wanted to ask you what you planted in this land before. From last year to this year, I didn't see you taking care of it. I just asked people to apply some fertilizer occasionally. How did it grow?" Like this! These vines have collapsed the shelf, drink! Good guy, such a thick vine! How to harvest it? Both fruits and leaves? Not to mention, the fruits look densely packed, it’s a great harvest!”

Jiang Ning couldn't get a word in at the side. When the village chief finished speaking, she smiled and shook her head, "I don't want any. I want what's underneath, just like the taro, just don't dig it up."

The village chief was stunned for a moment, nodded, and while cutting off the vines, he felt sorry for the fruit pods and muttered something in his mouth.

Finally, a ridge of land was cleared, and many people from the village came to help.

Under Jiang Ning's gesture, the village chief carefully dug a hole, and what he dug out shocked a group of people.

"Big-headed lady, this, this, this, this is your newly discovered food?" Mrs. Liu looked at Jiang Ning eagerly.

Jiang Ning nodded slightly, "This stuff can be eaten as food, but you can't eat it every day. It's good to eat it every three or five times."

When the village chief heard that it could be used as food, he went crazy with joy. He didn't care about anything else and quickly called on the people around him to help dig. He was even more interested than Jiang Ning.

With everyone’s help, an acre of yams was dug out.

The village chief asked someone to get a scale and weigh the baskets in front of the villagers.

In the end, the total amount was about three tons, and the yield per mu was about the same as that of taro.

The village chief realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately sent someone to the county government to report it.

The next day, Xie Yucheng led fifty or sixty people into Rongshu Village. Except for official officials, all of them came to help with the work.

The fields used for experiments in Jiangning are relatively scattered. Some are fertile fields, some are newly opened wastelands some distance away from water sources, and some are wastelands close to water sources at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain.
