Chapter 89 The materials are complete and ready to start work
When Mrs. Zhang and others brought the meal in, they happened to hear them discussing what ingredients they should buy in town.
She opened her mouth and wanted to just dig some soil from the mountain and build a house.
But after looking at the bright blue brick house in front of me, I immediately closed my mouth.
Zhiyue girl and her man both had their plans in mind. Since they agreed to buy, they must have enough money, so she didn't interrupt.
Holding two bowls of noodles in her hand, she shouted to Jiang Zhiyue and others who were gathered together: "Hurry up and clear the table, the meal is ready."
Jiang Zhiyue and the others dispersed with a cheer, vacating the table.
Jiang Yuchao also quickly took a bowl and put it on the table.
What we cooked for lunch was braised noodles with poached eggs. This recipe was made by Zhang a few days ago according to Jiang Zhiyue's instructions.
Jiang Zhiyue knew that she was not good at cooking, so she only told Mrs. Jiang and the others the eating methods in her mind.
Everyone had a fried golden poached egg in their bowls. The noodles looked warm and misty, and they looked delicious.
Everyone went to the kitchen to bring their own meals, and sat or stood around the main room, chatting and eating.
Things from the bullock cart have been unloaded and placed in various houses.
They didn't use the bedding left by the owner of the house. After packing it up and putting it in the cupboard, they put on the bedding they brought with them.
The bullock cart was mostly empty in one go.
After dinner, Jiang Zhiyue and the others planned to go to town to inquire about the prices of bricks and terracotta tiles, which are used to build houses.
When this happened, the old men didn't go with them, and only two brothers, Jiang Yuqing, Jiang Yulai and Wang Fengshou, accompanied Jiang Zhiyue to the town.
Hearing that they were going to town, Ming Yuanqing also wanted to go.
She is very curious about everything now and wants to take a look whenever she gets a chance to go out.
Ming Yixi frowned like a little adult and reprimanded: "Don't be ridiculous, Uncle Qing and the others are on business in town."
Ming Yuanqing stopped, but still a little reluctantly.
Jiang Zhiyue glanced at her and comforted her: "I'm not going to town today just for fun. I'll take you with me next time I go to town."
Ming Yuanqing pouted and had no choice but to agree.
But soon she said excitedly: "I want Zhiyue to bring me a storybook. I want the kind of swordsman."
While she was on the road, she came across a martial arts storybook that Jiang Dalang and the others had packed in a bookcase.
She fell in love with it after reading it, but the book was too short. When Jiang Zhiyue went out, she hoped she could bring back another one.
"good."
Jiang Zhiyue agreed, but in her heart she was thinking about when she would have time to enter the space to take out or compile the martial arts novels for later generations.
The stories of later generations are more interesting and newer than the stereotyped storybooks we have today.
If you can sell it, it can be a way to get rich.
…
Jiang Zhiyue and the four of them got on the bullock cart and staggered out of the village, heading towards the town.
When the ox cart passed by the village, the villagers all greeted them with smiles, wanting to leave a good impression on them first.
The few people sitting on the shaft of the carriage driving the carriage also smiled back at them.
They are residents who have just come here, so naturally they are not as good as those who have always lived here. It would be great if they could get along better with the people in the village.
After leaving the village, there were some muddy roads with scattered trees planted on both sides of the road.
The trees were not neatly arranged, and there were trees here and there, making them look particularly messy.
The cold wind blew loudly in the winter. Sitting in the carriage, Jiang Zhiyue felt that the outside wind blew through the curtains and came in, but Jiang Yuqing and the others were sitting outside on the carriage shaft chatting happily, as if they were not affected.
Jiang Zhiyue opened the curtain and called out: "Second uncle, come in and sit down."
The cabin space outside is quite large and can accommodate three grown men.
Jiang Yuqing, Jiang Yulai and Wang Fengshou waved their hands indifferently and said: "Hey, this little wind is nothing compared to where we were before. It's still refreshing when it blows."
Seeing that they really didn't look very cold, Jiang Zhiyue had no choice but to get back behind the curtain and start thinking about building a house.
They have already totaled the materials needed to build the house, and they can start shipping them back tomorrow after asking about the price.
She thought that in this era there was no cement yet, and all that was used to bond walls was glutinous rice mortar.
Jiang Zhiyue thought about the method of making cement in her previous life, and felt that it would not be possible in a short time.
However, she can still take time to go to the weapons room in the space to see if there are any useful things or materials.
Get rich in a small way here, and then you can live like a salted fish.
While thinking about it, the ox cart slowly drove into Qingyan Town.
It is already afternoon, and it is not as lively as in the morning, but there is still no shortage of pedestrians coming and going in the town.
Jiang Yuqing sat on the bullock cart and asked for directions, then headed towards the place where bricks and tiles were sold.
On the edge of Qingyan Town, they found the shop selling bricks and tiles. Only a part of the samples were displayed in the shop.
Jiang Yuqing and the others also asked about the price. Blue bricks cost three cents a piece, and clay tiles cost two cents five. As for lime, they also sold them, but they had to sell them by the pound.
The shop not only has blue bricks and pottery tiles, but also second-rate defective products, which are a bit cheaper in comparison.
However, Jiang Zhiyue and the others still chose blue bricks with better quality.
Before coming here, they had already discussed the approximate quantity and asked the shopkeeper directly for a sufficient amount of bricks, tiles and lime.
By the time they finished their conversation with the shopkeeper, it was getting dark and the strong wind outside was blowing louder.
After paying the deposit, Jiang Zhiyue and the others left quickly.
As for the bricks and tiles, the first batch of bricks and tiles will be delivered to your door tomorrow, but it will cost an extra 20 cents per truck for door-to-door delivery.
Returning the way they came, the four of them faced the cold wind and returned to Longbit Village.
Smoke was rising from the chimney in the sky above the courtyard where the Jiang family currently lived.
Jiang Yulai jumped down from the car and knocked on the door. The door immediately opened from the inside.
Jiang Zhiyue also jumped out of the carriage.
The person who opened the door was little Wang, standing in front of the door with a big belly.
Jiang Yulai's heart trembled when he saw her standing there with such a big belly. He quickly stepped forward and supported little Wang through her clothes.
Jiang Yulai said strangely: "Why did you come out so late at night? Just let Xiaoliu and the others open the door. Come in quickly."
Little Wang greeted outside with a smile: "Second brother, brother Fengshou, Zhiyue, come in quickly."
Jiang Yulai helped her walk in, and then she said with a smile: "I've been in bed all day, and my bones have become soft. I just wanted to go out for a walk, and I just heard your knock on the door."
Several children were playing games in the yard, which was very lively.
People in the house and kitchen heard the sound and came out.
Mrs. Jiang wiped the water on her hands and asked, "How are you doing? Are you settled?"
There are three people cooking at home: Zhang, Sun and Huang Huaihua. Zhang Xiaoyan can also help occasionally, and even Ming Yuanqing will join in the fun and help.
But Mrs. Jiang couldn't sit still, so she went to the kitchen to help wash the vegetables.
When they heard that Jiang Zhiyue and the others were back, they all came out.
Several people braved the frost and walked in the door, answering everyone's questions one by one.
Jiang Zhiyue continued: "The first batch of bricks should be brought over tomorrow. Once we hire people, we can start construction."
Everyone thinks that after building a house, they can live in a new house, and they are very happy.
Huang Huaihua said with a smile: "What Zhiyue girl said is that if we start construction earlier, we can move in earlier. This house is quite expensive to rent."
One tael of silver was gone after ten days' stay. They didn't say it, but they still felt very distressed in their hearts.
So they all hope that their houses will be built as soon as possible so that they can take root here.
