Chapter 40

"It's easy for you to say." Su Yu giggled upon hearing this.

Such a big matter as building a house seems to be a small matter to Jiang Qi.

Jiang Qi chuckled, "It's not a big deal at all."

Seeing him like this, Su Yu didn't say anything more, but the next day, Jiang Qi went to Yunshan and talked about buying the land.

This time it was still the same two people who came to measure the land this time. Before noon, everything was done. Jiang Qi gave four taels of silver for running errands, and the two left happily, saying that they were in a hurry In the county, get the deed paper back as soon as possible.

After seeing off Yunshan, Su Yu stood in front of the gate and looked at the open space to the east.

"Sister, how much land did we buy this time?" Su Yan also came out of the yard at this time and asked curiously.

"From the wall of our courtyard to the river over there." Su Yu replied.

"Oh." Su Yan looked carefully, there was about 300 meters away from the courtyard wall to the river, but suddenly thought of something, Su Yan went again, "This is the width, sister, how long is it? "

Su Yu flicked Su Yan's head with his hand, and said with a smile, "Little guy, the reaction is not slow, the length, you are going to ask your brother-in-law."

When Su Yan heard this, he immediately turned his head and looked at Jiang Qi with bright eyes, "Brother-in-law?"

Jiang Qi didn't talk nonsense, and said simply, "I bought 32 acres of land this time, and the back of our yard has been expanded by [-] acres, and the riverside is [-] acres."

Su Yu also squinted his eyes happily when he heard Jiang Qi's words. Adding the previous eight acres of land, they now have forty acres of land.

Still next to the river, a square piece of land.In the future, it will not only be convenient for watering the land, but also dig a channel to lead the water to their own land.

"Ah?" Su Yan didn't think too much, just heard him say in surprise, "We don't need so much land to build a house."

Hearing this, Su Yu thought it was funny, and rubbed his head, "Idiot, it won't be used for building a house, we need to farm."

"Oh. I see. Next year we will plant more watermelons and make more money." Su Yan immediately became excited when he heard this.

The three of them just looked at it for a while, then turned and went back to the courtyard.

The price of wasteland is three taels of silver per mu, but because they bought a lot, and Su Yu promised yesterday that next year they will bring the people in the village to grow watermelons.

So Yunshan gave them a discount, only two taels of silver per mu of land. In this way, a total of 32 mu of land was only used for 64 taels of silver. Two, a total of only 70 taels of silver was spent, and they picked up a lot of bargains.

Now that the land is bought, the next thing is to build a house.

It is said that the weather is getting hotter every day, and workers' wages are more expensive than usual. It is not cost-effective to start work at this time.

But in autumn, it was the autumn harvest, and there was basically no one to do the work, and it would be too late when it was cold in the day after tomorrow, so Su Yu and Jiang Qi made a calculation and decided that it would be better to start work earlier.

The next day Jiang Qi went to the town of Lu Youqi, and wanted him to help find some skilled craftsmen. Su Yu said that she had to design what kind of house to build at home, so the people in the village probably didn't have enough craftsmanship.

After Jiang Qi left, Su Yu asked Su Yan to write carefully, then closed the door, and she entered the space by herself.

Su didn't know anything about house design, but in the end of the world, she collected a large library in a certain city, and there must be books about house design in it.

After searching in the space for a while, Su Yu finally found what he wanted.

It was a structural diagram of ancient houses. It contained architectural pictures of various dynasties and styles, and there were design drafts attached at the back. There were also many accurate data.

Su Yu actually thought that it would be great if he could build a modern villa, but he could only think about it, and there was no one he particularly liked, so he finally closed the booklet helplessly.

As far as ancient houses are concerned, beautiful landscape gardens must cost a lot of silver. Now they only have 300 taels of silver left, so what can they build.

It suddenly occurred to me that I watched Dream of the Red Chamber in my previous life, and the Grand View Garden inside was beautifully built, if only she could build one too.

Shaking her head helplessly, Su Yu smiled self-mockingly, the garden cost hundreds of thousands of silver to build, so don't daydream about her few hundred taels.

However, Su Yu still found the album of the Grand View Garden, read it carefully, sighed again, and put it aside.

Picking up the brochure of ancient buildings just now, Su Yu found a small yard that wasn't too big and didn't need a lot of consumables. With the pen and ink he brought in, he drew a sketch on the paper, and then marked the data or something. Clear, also leave the space.

At noon, Jiang Qi came back and brought back Lu Youqi and two men in their 40s.

"Xiaoyu, these are the two old masters that Xiaoqi found, they are quite famous in the town." Jiang Qi pointed to the two and introduced Su Yu.

Su Yu hurriedly greeted the two of them, "Hello, two masters, I'm sorry to trouble you, it's noon, let me go and cook?"

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, we've already eaten, and elder brother has brought food for you and Xiaoyan." Lu Youqi hurriedly said.

Hearing the words, Su Yu looked at Jiang Qi, and seeing Jiang Qi nodded towards her, Su Yu said again, "Then I'll go pick a watermelon, it's such a hot day, eating it can relieve the heat."

After Su Yu finished speaking, she walked out of the house and went to pick watermelons in the watermelon field.

Lu Youqi laughed and said, "Two masters, all the watermelons that my family sells are bought from my elder brother and sister-in-law. You can taste fresh ones later."

The two old masters also smiled and echoed. When they just came in, they had already seen the watermelons and strawberries in the yard, and after hearing what Lu Youqi said, they became more certain.

When Su Yu came back with the big watermelon in his arms, the few of them didn't say much, just took the watermelon handed to them and started eating it.

Jiang Qi said to Su Yu, "You and Xiaoyan go to eat first, I put it in the kitchen."

Su Yu responded, and took Su Yan to the kitchen, where he saw a carved food box on the chopping board.

When the lid was opened, there were two bowls of rice and two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian. The two hurriedly finished their meal, cleaned the bowls, and went back to the main room.

Several people in the room were talking about the composition of the picture. When they picked up Su Yu and came in, Jiang Qi said, "Xiaoyu, have you decided what kind of house you want to build?"

Su Yu nodded, took out the sketch she had drawn from the room, and handed it to Jiang Qi.

Seeing this, Lu Youqi and the two old masters moved to Jiang Qi's side and looked at the paper together.
