Chapter 51
"Run slowly and be careful of the steps." Su Yu looked at Su Yan who was sweating profusely but was in high spirits, and hurriedly said.

While speaking, Su Yan had already run up to him. He took Su Yu's hand and said excitedly, "Sister, my room is over there."

While speaking, Su Yan pointed to the direction of the East Wing, and then pulled Su Yu, asking her to accompany him to watch it again.

With a smile on his face, Su Yu followed Su Yan to the East Wing, followed by Jiang Qi and Lu Youqi.

There are only three rooms in the east wing, but they are very spacious.

The entrance is still the hall, which can be used as Su Yan's small living room. The north is the bedroom, the south is the study, and there is a similar bathroom in the bedroom.

Although there was nothing in the room except the walls and the kang, and even the windows were not fully installed, Su Yan was still in high spirits.

Lu Youqi stayed for a while and then left. He was going to the town to help sell the two ginseng plants. He also knew that Su Yu and Jiang Qi were waiting for the money from selling ginseng to pay the artisans.

However, before Lu Youqi left, he said that he would be able to bring the money back in the afternoon, and Su Yu hurriedly asked him to bring back scattered silver and copper coins. convenient.

Not long after lunch, Lu Youqi's carriage stopped in front of the new house, and Su Yu and Jiang Qi hurried forward.

The curtain of the car was lifted, and Lu Youqi jumped out first, then turned around and took out a wooden box from the car. Su Yu understood at a glance that the money was in it.

Sure enough, Lu Youqi got out of the car and handed the box to Jiang Qi, and then the three of them walked into the yard.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, it had been cleaned up. Tables, chairs and benches were placed in front of the main room. The three walked over and sat down.

Lu Youqi said, "I brought two ginseng plants to Ji Ren Tang in the town. Mr. Li from Ji Ren Tang said that they are all high-quality wild ginsengs that have been more than ten years old. The price for one plant is 110 taels of silver, and the price for two plants is 220 taels of silver." Two. I am the master, and I exchanged all of them for you with scattered silver and copper coins, which will be convenient for you to use in the future.”

Jiang Qi just came in with the wooden box, and he already guessed it must be like this from the weight, now hearing what Lu Youqi said, he immediately said, "I have a heart."

Su Yu also smiled and said, "It's really troublesome. We built a house once, and you helped us a lot. It's really a lot of money and hard work."

Lu Youqi said disapprovingly, "Our family still talks about two things, besides, Master Li said that these wild ginseng plants are rare. Although they are only more than ten years old, they are of good quality and better medicinal effect. I took it back to make up for my mother, and I still want to thank my elder brother and sister-in-law for letting my little brother make a profit."

Although Lu Youqi looked young, but he was very sophisticated in speaking and doing things, making people feel very comfortable getting along with him.

Not long after the three chatted, the craftsmen over there came back from the backyard and said that they had already installed all the doors and windows.

Su Yu went to have a look around, and came back and told Jiang Qi that there was nothing wrong.

After hearing this, Lu Youqi led the people he brought away first, and the rest were the 30 people who worked hard to build the house in the past one and a half months, and two old masters.

Jiang Qi also stood up at this time, and said to everyone, "It's been more than a month, everyone has worked hard, now the house is finally completed, and it's time to settle the wages."

As soon as Jiang Qi finished speaking, everyone's attention was focused on him. The person who spoke in a low voice just now fell silent. Nothing is more important than money, isn't it?

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Jiang Qi was not restrained, and said directly, "At the beginning, it was agreed that each person would take care of one meal a day, and the daily wages would be [-] Wen, but my own house, I know , It takes more work to build it than others, I think everyone is good, so each person adds ten yuan a day."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned for a moment, then excited, they all thanked Jiang Qi and praised Jiang Qi for his benevolence.

Su Yu sat at the table without saying a word. These things were discussed before.

Although Su Yu felt that he was not bad at all, but his foreign communication was not about dealing with these craftsmen, so it was better for Jiang Qi to come forward.

Opening the cash box, there was a small half of broken silver inside, and the rest were all copper coins, each in a string of one hundred cash, which saved Su Yu the trouble of counting the money.

Su Yu had bought a small scale for weighing silver before, and had calculated the wages of each person, which was 350 Wen per person.

These people lined up and walked to the table. Su Yu first weighed a tael of silver with a small scale, then gave them three strings of money, and counted out another fifty coins.

The person who got the money did not leave immediately, but stood aside and carefully counted the 350 Wen. After confirming that it was correct, he took out a cloth bag, packed it, and hid it in his arms.

On the other hand, Jiang Qi brought the two masters into the room.

They have already agreed that each master will give ten taels of silver, and the reason why they give so much is because they have spent a lot of effort.

Otherwise, it is impossible to successfully fix the sewers and flush toilets with only the theoretical knowledge of Su language.

Although it is not perfect and there is no water pipe system, Suyu is quite satisfied.

After distributing everyone's wages, Jiang Qi asked everyone to help, and put all the tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans rented from the town into the bullock cart, and sent them directly back to the town. Of course, the bullock cart was rented from the village of.

By the time Jiang Qi came back again, it was already dark, and Su Yu had already returned to the original yard to prepare dinner.

On the gate of the new yard, there was a big gleaming lock, no one could open it without a key, she was very relieved about it, besides, there was nothing in their yard either.

After a busy day, the three of them went to bed early after dinner.

The next morning, when Su Yu woke up, the sun was already shining outside, and Jiang Qi beside him was already gone.

Su Yu is also used to this, no matter how tired he is on the first day, Jiang Qi will still get up early to practice martial arts the next day, this is his habit.

After getting dressed and coming out, Su Yu saw Jiang Qi teaching Su Yan how to stance, which was what Su Yan asked for.

He also wants to learn martial arts, but he is still a child, so he doesn't have the "magic power" like Su Yu, so he can only start from the zama step.

After greeting the two, Su Yu went to the kitchen to make breakfast. When the breakfast was ready, Su Yan and Jiang Qi also finished today's training.

The three of them finished their breakfast together, read and wrote together, and then sat down to talk.

Naturally, it is about the new house. Although the house has been completed and the furniture is being made, it is quite troublesome to buy bedding, curtains, and other odds and ends.
