After time travel, my best friend and I exchanged supplies and became a rich woman
Chapter 424 Rapid Progress
When Song Yun heard that the Yancheng was on the border, she subconsciously said, "Yeah, that five-story house shouldn't be very expensive."
She now firmly believes what her sister-in-law said, that is, when buying a house, only three factors should be considered.
That is: location, location and location.
To be honest, in areas like the border, let alone buying it, even if it is given away for free, there may not be anyone who wants it.
"Well," Song Ke was still very frank with his sister, "I heard before that Chang Wu said that he also bought a courtyard in Yancheng to settle down. The three-story house cost twenty taels. I estimate that the five-story house would cost about thirty or forty taels."
"Ah?" Song Yun was very surprised. "Such a big house, only a few dozen taels? It's not enough just to buy bricks and tiles to build it, right?"
"Most of the houses in Yancheng have changed hands several times. Spending twenty or thirty taels is just to give face to the county magistrate of the new government office and pay for the land." Song Ke said.
But after he finished speaking, he looked up at Song Yun again, "By the way, Ayun, you are now the accountant for your sister-in-law, so you must pay attention to everything. Don't think about this and forget that, otherwise you will mess up your sister-in-law's accounts."
"Yes, I understand, brother."
Song Yun responded, then turned and smiled at Chen Dongyue.
To be honest, Song Yun and Song Ke were not very familiar with each other.
After all, when she was old enough to understand, her elder brother had already gone out to fight in the war.
As for her sister-in-law, after spending these days together day and night, she has already regarded her sister-in-law as her own sister.
Of course, Chen Dongyue had long regarded Song Yun as her own sister.
So she told Song Ke, "I feel completely relieved when Ayun does the accounting. Although she sometimes makes mistakes, she always overcharges people and never overpays them. This is a bit like the old lady."
"Nonsense..." Song Haopo smiled and handed a bowl of golden hook winter melon soup to Chen Dongyue, "People in Ci'an Hall say that I am the steadiest when it comes to serving rice and dishes, and I never skimp on other people's food."
Chen Dongyue took the winter melon soup, took a sip, and then said, "Yes, yes, you are right. You don't deduct people's food, but if you take the pickled vegetables and dried radishes to Ci'an Hall, you still have to charge them for the vegetables."
"Let's put it this way," Song Haopo said in a low voice, "It's very difficult to make pickled vegetables and dried radishes. You have to add salt, sugar, and bean paste. I have to pay for all of this."
"Ah~~~~" Jun Lan sighed, "Old Lady Ge and Old Lady Zhao from Ci'an Hall don't have many teeth left. Please be merciful and let them go..."
This drew laughter from everyone.
Seeing his younger brother laughing, Song Ke asked him, "I heard you are now a shopkeeper. How are you doing?"
"There will be no lack of work in ten years."
These words were not said by Song Yang, but by Chen Dongyue.
Song Yang stood up suddenly, "I, I...I'm done eating."
Before he left, Chen Dongyue quickly said, "He made a loss-making deal and has to work for me for free for ten years to pay off his debt."
.......Song Ke’s eyes narrowed.
"Brother, listen to my explanation. I have learned my lesson and will never do business at a loss again. Really, believe me." Song Yang swore to the sky.
Song Ke hit him on the back of the head and said, "I don't believe you!"
Chen Dongyue, who was originally trying to hold back her laughter, burst out laughing after hearing these words.
Because that was what she was thinking in her heart.
evening.
After drinking some wine, Song Ke did not go to his wife to express his true feelings.
Because my wife said she wanted to go into seclusion to absorb the energy of the moon, I locked the gate early.
She didn't open the door when the dog knocked, so later the monkey carried it in.
For this, the dog was beaten by the monkey.
I don’t know if it was because the dog was too heavy that caused the monkey’s dissatisfaction.
Unable to find anyone to talk to his wife, Song Ke could only choose to find fault with others.
As a result, Doctor Yao was the first to be affected and suffered great sorrow.
That night, Song Ke explained to Doctor Yao the principles of being a human being and doing things, and he talked about it until the gong struck the fifth watch.
What is the concept of the fifth watch?
Even the head of Hu Village had gotten up and was ready to call the helpers on the farm to work.
The people outside who were building the city wall were all shouting "Hey ha hey ha".
Doctor Yao, who loves health preservation, was almost irritated by Song Ke.
But he didn't dare to yell at Song Ke, because the old doctor was afraid that Song Ke would keep buzzing in his ears all night long.
So, Dr. Yao chose to roll his eyes at Chen Dongyue early in the morning.
Chen Dongyue, who didn't understand what was going on, kindly asked Doctor Yao if his eye was twitching. If it wasn't working, he could go to the clinic and not worry about his identity as a doctor.
After all, it is a universal law known to everyone that a doctor cannot treat himself.
..........
After Song Ke started his life of visiting his relatives in his hometown, Chen Dongyue had an assistant by his side.
Oh, no, that's not accurate.
To be precise, Chen Dongyue should have one more assistant and four laborers.
Assistant Song Ke volunteered, while the four workers including Nanfeng were "forced to volunteer".
It is also because of Song Ke's help that Chen Dongyue's work efficiency has indeed... not improved much.
After all, Song Ke is not the ancient Greek god in charge of building city walls.
Even with his arrival, the wall couldn't be built any faster.
Fortunately, this person is not completely useless.
At the very least, when Chen Dongyue owned a farm but still planned to buy grain from Shao’s Grain Store, Song Ke could go against the majority and stand firmly on Chen Dongyue’s side.
Although, whether he stood or not, Chen Dongyue would stock up on food.
But how to say it?
Song Ke wanted Chen Dongyue to know that he would always stand by her side.
No matter how crazy the decision is.
In order to thank Song Ke for his support, Chen Dongyue gave the task of purchasing food to Song Ke.
So for less than half a month, Song Ke kept collecting grain, arranging warehouses, arranging warehouses, and collecting grain.
It was not until the granary on the farm was full of food that Song Ke made some small suggestions to Chen Dongyue.
"Dongyue, I'm not questioning you. I just want to remind you that if you buy too much food and can't finish it, it will go bad."
Chen Dongyue patted Song Ke on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, if we can't finish the food, we can raise pigs, chickens, and ducks. We will eventually be able to consume all the food."
.........Song Ke, who grew up in a poor family, couldn't even organize the words to refute Chen Dongyue for a moment.
What she said was indeed correct.
But Song Ke always felt something was not right.
But Song Ke couldn't figure out what was wrong for a moment.
Occasionally, Chen Dongyue would take time to chat with Song Ke.
Song Ke would also tell her about things in the north.
pity.
There is nothing interesting in the North.
All there is is a turbulent life and a barren land stained with blood and tears.
Chen Dongyue, who originally didn't have much aspirations for the future, became a little emo as he listened to the song.
So she waved her hand and said she was willing to donate two tons of pumpkins to the soldiers and people of Yancheng.
Okay, now even Song Ke is emo.
After all, he has been eating pumpkin every day since the first day he arrived in Liaocheng.
In the morning, there is pumpkin porridge and pumpkin cake; at noon, there is pumpkin rice and fried pumpkin; in the afternoon, there is pumpkin sweet water; and in the evening, there are pumpkin steamed buns.
Those pumpkins collected by Hu Zhuangtou in the huge temporary straw shed were like patches in this world, always filling the gaps in the stomach.
Song Ke's dark skin had begun to turn slightly yellow after eating pumpkin for half a month.
Not to mention others.
Everyone in Dehe Villa has to be a little bit yellower than others when they go out.
It's very...yellow.
While Song Ke was constantly buying, collecting and hoarding grain and worrying about how he would be able to eat it all, the city wall was also being built at full speed.
Because of the increase in hired workers from outside, the original plan to build a two-meter-high city wall was expanded to three meters high.
Don’t ask why. The reason is that Magistrate Meng said it looks more impressive.
Chen Dongyue had no control over the extra budget, and Prefect Meng said he would take care of it.
This time, when building the city wall, Governor Meng really wanted to do it himself.
Unfortunately, my body won’t allow it.
After the first cutting work, Magistrate Meng took a three-day break due to heat stroke.
After he recovered, he came to inspect the construction site again, but because there was too much dust on the site, it triggered Magistrate Meng's cough and asthma.
This time the rest time was longer. It took him ten days to recover.
Ten days later, Magistrate Meng wanted to inspect the construction site again.
As a result of being bedridden for a long time and having weak limbs, he accidentally tripped over a brick and sprained his ankle while climbing the unfinished city wall.
Afterwards, news came from the capital every few days.
Then he said that the emperor was dying.
After a while, he said, "The emperor is fine."
Then he said that the crown prince should be the King of Qi.
Then he said that Prince Qi was not suitable and the throne should be decided by the Emperor, and that Prince Ning should be the heir.
Then he said...
In short, news comes and goes, one after another.
Although Magistrate Meng was in Liaocheng, his heart was in the capital...and then he got angry.
Once the heart fire is strong, all kinds of problems such as insomnia, hair loss, skin rashes, etc. will occur.
In a word, Governor Meng is powerless~~~~~
Then Sun Tongzhi made another brilliant appearance.
He wanted to take advantage of the fact that Prefect Meng was seriously ill and quickly have the city wall completed. Then he could represent Prefect Meng and receive the credit for building the city wall.
Ever since.
Sun Tongzhi supervised the construction of the city wall day and night, and wished he could set up camp right on the wall.
With the joint efforts of the two adults, the construction of the city wall miraculously...achieved the infrastructure speed of Xia Kingdom.
Chen Dongyue took the opportunity to take advantage of the human resources of the large project and raised the original ten-foot-high wall of his house by another ten feet.
Because of the money she spent during this period, Song Yun cried herself to sleep every day.
My sister-in-law’s hands are so loose.
Her heart hurt so much.
It’s a pity that my sister-in-law is completely unaware of Song Yun’s heartache.
Months passed in a flash.
The construction of the city wall has basically been completed.
Song Ke, you will be leaving in two days.
Chen Dongyue asked him if he had anything to do before leaving and if he had anything to say.
"..."
Song Ke replied her with six points.
