Traveling back to ancient times to make money and raise children is also free

Xiaobao was frightened yesterday, and it was not appropriate to leave him alone at home, so we decided to let Dabao stay near the house and take Xiaobao with me to chop some firewood for the Gastrodia elata. By leaving Dabao at home, Xiaobao's emotions would be more stable.

I had no choice but to go to town. Only by getting the remaining silver could I solve the current dilemma. I held Xiaobao in my arms and patted him. "Are you still afraid today? Ask Brother to stay with you at home. Mother has to go to town today. The work there is not finished yet. I must finish it and get the remaining silver. With the silver, we can fix the house. If someone comes over in the future, they won't be able to get in. You and Brother are at home. Are you afraid?"

"Mother, I know you have no other options. Don't be afraid, Xiaobao. My brother and I will be very well behaved at home. You don't have to worry about me."

"Yeah, my little treasure is the best. When I leave and make some money, I will buy you some big meat buns."

Xiaobao reluctantly let go of my hand; "Okay, Mom, then you come back early."

After a while at home, it was already late when I arrived at the big house. My eldest brother and I were installing the largest main sink in the middle. The sink was made big at one end and small at the other. The sink in the middle was made very flat to facilitate the connection of the two sinks. It seemed that it was carefully thought out.

The diversion area is designed with a water blocking slot and a small step from bottom to top. The diversion pipe can be turned off when water is not needed. It is quite good to be able to do this at the level of this era. The toilet is designed according to the appearance of modern public toilets, but the inside is very luxurious. Hello, marble paving, there is a screen in the middle, and there is a dressing table on this side of the screen. The water flow is also diverted to this side for washing hands. The sewage flows through the underground drainage facilities to the manor outside, where a large septic tank is designed. Some farmers are growing vegetables over there, and it happens that the wastewater is discharged there for secondary use.

After passing through a corridor, we finally reached the master bedroom of the young lady. I have to sigh that in this era, the life of the rich is really luxurious. I was busy until 3 pm in the afternoon, and the installation was already finished.

Butler Chang came running over and said that the eldest son of the family had come and wanted to design a flush toilet. He asked us to be careful and if the eldest son was satisfied, there might be a reward. He was afraid that he couldn't explain it clearly, so he decided to take me with him.

When I arrived at the flower hall, I saw a young man sitting in the middle. He was wearing a jade crown and a dark brocade robe. There was a jade pendant pressing down on the robe. He was probably in his 20s, looked very noble, and was drinking tea.

Brother He clasped his hands together as a salute. I reacted immediately and squatted like the people here.

No thanks, just sit down. I called you here today because I heard that the flush toilet that you designed is almost finished, so I asked you to come and learn about it.

Brother He was an outsider after all, so he immediately responded, "Sir, let my sister explain this design to you! Maybe I can describe it more clearly. I dare to guarantee that this design is the best we have made in all these years. I don't know if there is any other place in the country, but it is definitely the first one in the vicinity of Fuzhou."

"Oh, okay, let your sister tell you then."

I smiled and began to explain the sink slowly, from the design principle to the shape of the sink, the role of diversion, the interception when not needed, and finally the treatment of sewage.

The young master was very surprised. "Great! I didn't expect that my little sister's trick could actually bring me such enjoyment. It's a blessing in disguise. Since you said it so cleverly, I'll go with you to see it."

"Master, please come this way."

We accompanied the young man to the mountain behind, and talked all the way from the place where we started to collect water, and finally came directly to the place where the lady made the request. The young man nodded repeatedly after listening to our explanation, and asked us to finish the sewage ditch in the next few days, and he would come to see it after it was completed.

After a few more days of work, the sewage ditch was finally completed.

Young master came over the same day after receiving the message. He was very satisfied and directly asked them to open all the diversion pipes and release the water so that he could take a look.

Brother He immediately asked Erniu to run and release the water. The water flowed very quickly and reached the toilet in two quarters of an hour. After the water rushed through, it flowed directly out of the underground sewage pipe and could not be seen on the surface.

The young master seemed to be in a good mood and gave me and Brother He two taels of silver each. Tian Xin rode away with his followers with satisfaction.

When leaving, I asked the housekeeper to settle the remaining balance and said I would contact us next time if I had any problems.

Brother He kept his word. In addition to the ten taels of silver deposit from last time and his own salary, he gave me all the 110 taels he earned. He was afraid that it would be inconvenient for me to take it, so he accompanied me to exchange the silver seal for a silver note of taels.

After receiving the money, I thought about the condition of my house and asked Brother He, "What is the price of bricks and tiles from the brick kilns nearby?

"Girl, why are you buying bricks and tiles? Are you going to repair the house?"

"To be honest, Brother He, our house is no longer habitable. I have some money now, and I am considering whether to renovate it or buy a house in town. I am considering this issue now."

"Sister, this problem is easy to solve. If you want to build a house, we have ready-made craftsmen here. We can give you a cheaper salary. It depends on what kind of house you want to build. If it is made of blue bricks and blue tiles, it depends on how big you want it to be. If it is a main hall, a bedroom on the left and right, and four side rooms, it will cost about 80 taels. If you want to buy a house, I won't be busy these days, so I can help you inquire. In this town, there is nothing I can't do."

"Thank you so much, Brother He. Can you help me find a house in town? It doesn't have to be big, two or three rooms will do. I have two little ones at home, and I'd like to see if I can send them here to study."

"That's easy. I'll go ask later. After I find out, you can decide whether to buy the house or renovate it."

In that case, thank you very much, Brother He.

"You're welcome, these are just small matters."

After saying goodbye to Brother He, I decided to go shopping and go back. I passed by a bookstore and bought a copy of Thousand Characters. Although the traditional Chinese characters are somewhat different from the modern ones, I can still recognize them in general. I plan to send them to the college after I have settled the housing issue. I will give them some enlightenment first, so that they will not fall behind when they go to the college.

It is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son. This saying is actually very reasonable. Ancient books and writing materials are too expensive. One Thousand Character Classic and one Hundred Family Surnames. These two books cost two taels of silver. I decided to go back and make a sand table for them, and I won’t buy writing materials for the time being.

I ran to the market again and saw someone selling eggs. I bought some eggs and weighed some meat. I also took a few meat buns. I put them in my backpack and prepared to take them back to make some delicious meals for Dabao and Xiaobao. I was too busy these days and didn't take care of them much. Now that I have some free time, I have to take care of them.
