Chapter 239
Ye Ran was very impressed with the Qi family who brought herbs to her house. She dragged Phytolacca past the well a few days ago, and she asked why she only took Zhou Yunzhu's herbs and not them.

When Li Zhaodi was collecting the herbs, Mrs. Wu said that this broken-mouthed Qi family often made irresponsible remarks behind her back.

"Aunt Qi, look at me who is busy building a new house, do I have the time to collect herbs?"

Ye Ran interrupted her, and smiled sarcastically: "Zhang Guicai's herb business has lost money. I don't want to be in a loss-making business, and still be talked about behind my back to make a difference in the price of the herb."

"It's as if your family can't live if you don't collect herbs."

Yeran's words made Qi's face turn pale. She murmured and dragged his man away.

The fire in Houpo gradually extinguished, and in the afternoon, the people who watched the excitement gradually dispersed.

The foundation chosen by Yeran is in front of the cave.

The field of vision here is wide, standing on the slope, you can have a panoramic view of Daze Lake, and there is a cave behind it, which can be regarded as being close to mountains and rivers.

Yeran's plan is to pave a pebble path in the backyard and lead directly to the cave when the new house is built.

In this way, the large area from the back room to the stone cave has become the back garden of her house.

After the house is built, the stream in the cave will be drawn out and flow slowly around the ten acres of land, so the problem of the water source of the medicinal herbs will also be solved.

Ye Ran drew the blueprints for Zhou Zhijie, and she grasped the big ideas, handed over the details of building the house to him and Carpenter Tan, and handed over the work of cooking for the helpers to Aunt Wu.

The food at Yeran's family is well prepared, and there is meat in every meal, and the food money for a day costs [-] Wen.

After working hard for more than half a month, when the foundation was dug and the house began to be built, three or four taels of silver had been spent on food alone.

Aunt Wu calculated the account carefully and was shocked: "Ran Niang, it will take at least two or three months to build this house. How long has it been? It cost almost four taels of silver."

Whoever built a house in this village and gave wages to helpers did not include lunch and meals.

Those who packed the lunch at noon were also acquainted neighbors, and they didn't give them any wages.

Besides, the gang of workers will give ten cents at most.

He was not as generous as Yeran, who gave fifteen Wen a day and included a meal, and if he continued to eat like this, the house was built, and the lunch at noon alone would cost 20 taels of silver.

Aunt Wu couldn't help but panic when spending money like running water like this.

"Ma'am, at the beginning I agreed to provide food, but it's not good to change my mind suddenly. Who would work hard to build a house for our family?"

The big idea was taken down, and after Yeran passed the busiest time, she comforted Aunt Wu and said: "We will live in the new house for a lifetime, as long as the house is built, spending more money is nothing. The bluegrass ointment in this herbal hall should be sold out, I will cook some more and send them to sell, and get back the money from the last time I sold the bluegrass ointment."

There are a hundred jars of bluegrass ointment that Yeran sends back and sells in the herbal hall, and a jar costs one hundred Wen, which is worth ten taels of silver.

If you get the money back, why worry about food expenses?

Aunt Wu relaxed her heart this time: "Then Auntie will help you make more ointment."

It is easy to boil the ointment, first use a mill to grind the pokeweed slices finely, and then boil it with other herbs in the melted lard slowly, after the fire is turned off, squeeze the mint juice into it go.

It's just that painting orchids on clay pots is a delicate job, and it takes a lot of effort.

The ointment was boiled suddenly, she had to ask someone to tell Zhou Yunzhu to pick a basket of mint and send it over for later use.
