244. Looking up at the sky forty-five degrees
Yue Jiuyue thanked the closed door, then walked behind the village to find the family with the white sails hanging.
Found.
Whether it is the family with white sails or the family in the west, the doors are also closed.
Yue Jiuyue went to the house west and knocked on the door.
"Who?"
It's the voice of a young man.
The door opened with a few "clang" sounds inside.
"Who are you? What's the matter?"
The young man frowned and asked bluntly.
"I'll take a look at the carpentry work in your house. If it's appropriate, I'll customize two doors."
Yue Jiuyue thought the other party would ask a few more questions, but he didn't expect that he would just dodge the side and raised his hand and pointed inside.
Yue Jiuyue nodded to him, said "disturbing", and went in.
This place is close to the county town, and the houses are almost all brick and tile houses. The carpenter's house is also laid with flat stone slabs from the front door to the main hall. At first glance, you can tell that this is a household that pays attention to others. In addition to wooden boards and semi-finished products, the yard is neatly arranged.
Under the eaves of the main hall, there was a fifty-year-old man smoking a cigarette pill and looking up at the sky forty-five degrees.
Yue Jiuyue thought the old man was expressing his sadness, but he heard the old man say:
"Oh! It's still sunny!"
Oh, it turns out that the old man is watching the weather.
Yes, there is no weather forecast in this era, but many elderly people will predict the weather in the future by looking at the sky, such as "the morning glow does not go out, the sunset travels thousands of miles", "the sunset is halo at 3 o'clock, the moon is halo at noon", "the leaves of the tung tree droop, and the rain is flying within two or three days"...
There are many proverbs that predict the weather, which were recorded by the working people in ancient times through careful observation.
There are actually many elderly people in their village who can look at the weather, but Yue Jiuyue lives far away and has never seen her before.
"Master, this aunt wants to set two doors."
The young man did not express Yue Jiuyue's purpose until the old man spoke.
Yue Jiuyue:(っ╥╯﹏╰╥c)
Godly aunt! Destroy them all!
"How high and wide? Are there any requirements?"
The old man continued to smoke his cigarette puddle, but he did not have any enthusiasm for Yue Jiuyue, the "God" who took the initiative to come.
"Uncle, my wall is three meters high, the door has three meters of space left, and the door frame has not yet been completely cleaned. Do you think the door is as high as possible?"
Of course, professional problems must be left to professionals to solve, and she is only responsible for paying the money.
"Well, the door frames on both sides must be left out, and the door will be two meters and eight meters wide, which can be slightly higher than the wall, and about three meters and two meters.
Now, there are two gates over there, three meters high and two meters wide, or you? If you want it, you can get twenty taels of silver and take it away!"
The old man took the time to say a few words, and after that, he continued to smoke his cigarette pipe and look up at the sky forty-five degrees.
Yue Jiuyue's mouth twitched a few times, feeling unbelievable.
Twenty taels of silver on two doors? Is it so expensive?
She looked at the grandson of the old man who opened the door for her with a question mark.
"Come with me first."
After saying that, he turned around and left, and Yue Jiuyue immediately followed.
In the west wing, Yue Jiuyue was just standing at the door. When he looked up, he saw two vermilion doors, a pair of copper door knockers on it. The base of the door knockers was just an ordinary round shape, and there was no special carving on the wooden door, but Yue Jiuyue took a look at it at first sight.
