When Aunt Li heard that Jiang Sining wanted to build a house, she became more enthusiastic than she was about her own family affairs.

"Your aunt Zhang's family is a bricklayer, he is capable and reliable, you can let him lead the construction of the house." Aunt Li said, "We will also need five or six helpers. I have calculated that our families will be enough."

"Okay, is there a carpenter in the village?"

"That's not true," Aunt Li said, "but..."

Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Jiang Sining couldn't help but ask: "Aunt Li, just say whatever you want to say."

"Well," said Aunt Li, "you forgot that your uncle-in-law is actually a carpenter and his skills are pretty good."

Uncle-in-law?

Jiang Sining thought about it carefully and quickly found the information about this uncle-in-law from his original body's memory.

Old Mrs. Jiang gave birth to four sons and three daughters.

So the original body had two aunts. The second aunt Jiang Yaozhu married the Su family in Tongniu Village, and the youngest aunt Jiang Yaorong married Li Fu, a carpenter from the neighboring village.

The original mother was still young when the two got married, and she rarely went back to her parents' home after marriage, so the impression of her was a little vague.

In her original body's memory, she liked her aunt Jiang Yaorong very much, and Jiang Yaorong never bullied them at that time.

But Aunt Li was worried that Jiang Si Ning didn't get along with the Jiang family and didn't want to invite Li Fu, so she said, "It's okay if you don't want to. I'll ask my family to go to the town to ask around and I'll definitely help you find a good one."

"No need," Jiang Sining said, "I'll go ask first, and we'll talk later if it doesn't work."

"That's fine."

"By the way, auntie," Jiang Sining said, "I want to build a bigger house, and I want it done faster. I'm sure it will take more than just a few people."

"It's hard to say. There's no work in the fields at this time of year, and there are plenty of people." Aunt Li said, "I'll ask your uncle to go take a look tomorrow and find a few people to start the work. We'll have time to add more people when more people are needed."

Jiang Sining felt at ease when Aunt Li was doing the job.

So she asked Aunt Li and Aunt Zhang to cook for the workers every day.

As for hiring wages, just negotiate the market price first, and then pay a little more when settling the bill.

"Then I'll go ask my aunt in a couple of days."

"are you going alone?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"That won't do!" Aunt Li said, "To get to your aunt's house, you have to cross Guitou Mountain, and that's not a road you can walk alone! Otherwise, I'll ask your uncle to help run the trip."

"No, no." Jiang Sining said, "At worst I can take a detour and not go through Guitou Mountain."

"Well, you have to be careful. Guitou Mountain is not a peaceful place."

Jiang Sining didn't take this matter too seriously.

Now her physical condition has greatly improved. Even if she encounters a group of bandits, she can't beat them but can run away?

……

Early the next morning, Aunt Li and five or six men came to the top of the mountain.

Jiang Sining took out the blueprint he had drawn overnight.

When they saw the house on the blueprint, Aunt Li and the others were dumbfounded.

They knew that Jiang Sining wanted a big house, but they never expected it to be so big!

To the north are the seven main rooms.

There are 7 rooms in total. Even Muramasa’s family doesn’t have that many.

But the main house designed by Jiang Sining is not only numerous, but also two-story!

God is my witness, Liuyun Village has been here for hundreds of years. Who can build a building here?

In addition, there are 5 spacious rooms on the east side and 5 houses on the west side, including kitchens, warehouses, etc., which together with the south wall form a huge courtyard.

Plus there's the backyard which is twice as big as the front yard!

There are seven or eight small houses, including the pigpen, chicken coop, duck coop, etc.

There is also a special toilet, which looks bigger and better than the main houses of most houses in the village according to the painting!

How can this be called a country house?

I’m afraid those wealthy families in this town don’t have such a grand style, right?

"Ning girl, why did you build so many houses?"

"Of course, the house is built for living." Jiang Sining said, "There are many people in my husband's family, and they will all come here in the future."

When they heard that it was someone from Si Chen'an's family, Aunt Li and the others suddenly understood.

It is true that they are in a bad state now, but it used to be the residence of a great general, so they should have been treated better.

"But..." Aunt Li's husband asked, "Are you sure you want to use blue bricks for everything? Or do you want to build a double wall? Even the fence needs blue bricks?"

"Ah."

"Blue bricks are not cheap. I'm afraid it will cost you dozens of taels of silver just to build this house."

"It doesn't matter." Jiang Sining said, "The last time we sold that big snake, we got a lot of silver. It should be enough."

Seeing that she had made up her mind and had enough money, everyone stopped trying to persuade her.

After all, the money belongs to Jiang Sining, and no one can stop her from spending it.

"Then we'll start digging the foundation today."

"The foundation is dug like this."

Jiang Sining took out the foundation drawings and stunned Aunt Li and the others again.

What kind of foundation is this!

A pit ten feet deep must be dug under each corner of the wall, and under the wall is a ditch three feet wide and three feet deep. How many stones are needed to fill it?

"Ning girl, you don't need that."

“Need, need!”

A century-long plan begins with the basics!

There will be a big earthquake next year. If the foundation is not laid firmly, what will happen if the house collapses?

"Then let's do it this way," Uncle Li said, "but if we do it this way, we need to add more people today, otherwise the work will be very slow."

"If it's necessary, then increase it. Uncle Li, you have the final say on this matter." Jiang Sining said, "Call the one who you think is suitable. I will pay the same as the wages given outside, and I will also provide three meals a day."

Three meals a day?

Uncle Li and his friends were excited. He often went out to help people build houses, and he was rarely provided with one meal, let alone three meals.

This Ning girl is really kind-hearted. We must make this house ready for her.

Uncle Li quickly called ten more people, and then started digging the foundation according to the dimensions on the drawing.

Jiang Sining brought two large iron pots and the ingredients for lunch and dinner.

When they saw that she took at least 10 kilograms of meat, Aunt Li and Aunt Zhang were a little panicked.

"Ning girl, how old is this meat?"

"Today. At noon and evening."

"Only 10 catties of meat a day?" Aunt Li said with a wry smile, "Ning girl, no matter how much money you have, you can't waste it like this! In my opinion, just eat some meat at noon every day, two or three catties is enough. Drink porridge in the morning and eat noodles in the evening."

"That won't do." Jiang Sining shook his head. "Uncle Li and his men do physical labor. How can they have the strength if they don't eat well?"

"Normally there's no meat, but we still get by, don't we?" Aunt Zhang said with a smile, "If I eat too much meat here, I'll definitely make a fuss if I go back and have no meat to eat!"

"Then I'll eat meat every day from now on."

"It would be nice if it were that way," said Aunt Li, "but it's hard to make money nowadays."

Jokes aside, meals still need to be arranged.

"In the morning, we'll cook rice porridge, and fry a pancake and an egg for each person." Jiang Sining said, "In the evening, we'll either have臊子面 or steamed meat buns. That's it."

"Then... let's do it."

"By the way, Auntie, when you cook, please include the four of us in your family. I won't be cooking during this period."

Although Aunt Li and her friends’ cooking skills are not as good as those of a real chef, as long as they have good ingredients, they can still make something good.

It doesn’t matter if the taste is a little bit off. I’ll hire a cook once the house is built.

After everything was arranged, Jiang Sining started to bask in the sun.

She has also been posting pictures of herself these past few days, and now the sun symbol behind her space has reached 4.8.

If we dry it for a while longer today, it will be 5 o'clock, and we can exchange 1000 cubic meters of space.

However, she had relatively few supplies stored up now, and there was still enough space in the infirmary, so she felt it was unnecessary, so she decided to save up until 10 o'clock and exchange it for a door.

She really wanted to know what this door was used for.

Just as she was half lying on a simple chair, receiving the fiery love from the sun, Jiang Qingzhou, the fourth son of the Jiang family, holding a dark green paper umbrella, knocked on the gate of the Jiang family's courtyard.

"Mom, open the door! I'm back!"
