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

On the third day, Mrs. He was going to Weicheng to visit Brother He, and she brought the letter I wrote with her.

After receiving the letter, Brother He handed over the work at hand to Sister He. Two days later, he returned to the town, along with Old Zhao, who sold bricks and tiles.

I was very happy and grateful to Brother He for his thoughtfulness. This way I don't have to look for bricks and tiles everywhere.

The price is the same anyway. It doesn't matter who I buy from, and it's good to give Brother He some face. In the business world, it's all about mutual benefit. As long as it doesn't cheat me and saves me a lot of trouble, why not do it?

I drew the shape of the house and the land, and told Brother He and Boss Zhao that I wanted to build a wall around my entire land.

Inside the wall is a two-entry courtyard, divided into the front yard and the back yard, which are further divided into the east yard and the west yard, with a main yard in the middle.

At that time, Xiuwen and Xiaobao will each have their own courtyard, which is divided into a master bedroom and a wing room. If they have any friends coming over, they can entertain them themselves.

The same goes for the backyard, which is reserved for the future female relatives to live in.

I live in the main courtyard in the middle.

A hall was built in the middle of the front yard of the main courtyard to be used for discussing matters or entertaining guests.

Two more rows of houses will be built on the east and west sides of the outer wall. If someone comes to work or help, they can live there.

Two halls were built next to the two rows of houses, one for workshops and the other for storing finished goods.

The east side can be used to make sweet potato flour, and the west side can be used to make clothes. In this way, they will not affect each other and can take care of each other and be managed centrally.

After looking at the blueprint, Brother He exclaimed: "Great, great, but this way, the cost of the house will be a bit high. According to preliminary estimates, it will cost at least two hundred taels. Sister, are you sure you want to do this?"

I have long wanted to live in a large, ancient house. If it were in modern times, it would probably be impossible to get such a residential plot without tens of millions.

In ancient times, I must fulfill this dream and enjoy the ancient style of flying eaves and painted buildings on TV.

I nodded to Brother He with certainty: "Yes, I plan to do this and won't change it. I plan to use this kid as my retirement home in the future, and it will be more comfortable if he lives like this. Let's do it this way."

Brother He: "So, sister, when do you plan to start work? Some things need to be budgeted and prepared in advance."

"The wheat harvest will be around in about ten days or half a month. We can start after the wheat is harvested, but we can prepare the things first so that we won't be caught off guard."

"But the wall and the two rows of houses on the side can be built now. The cabbage field can be cleared, there is no need to leave it. And finish the house on the left, so that when the main courtyard is built, we can live in it. And when the wheat is harvested, it needs a place to store it. Now that this house is built, it can be used as a warehouse. Harvest the wheat and put it in it."

I looked up and asked Boss Zhao again: "Boss Zhao, what is the price of your bricks and tiles? If it is suitable, we can decide now and you can deliver it to me tomorrow."

Boss Zhao: "Bricks are one penny each, tiles are one penny and three pieces. If you want more, we can deliver."

I looked at Brother He and wanted to ask if the price was high or expensive. Brother He nodded affirmatively, which confirmed that his price was not too high.

Me: "Boss Zhao, then I'll take your price and give it to me tomorrow. I'll deliver as many as I can. You've also looked at the chart, and you can't deliver enough in a short time anyway."

Boss Zhao: "Okay, then we will start delivering goods to you tomorrow. I will take 20 taels of silver and give taels to Boss Zhao as my deposit."

He pushed the remaining ten taels in front of Brother He and said, "Brother He, I'll leave the house to you. If you see any missing materials, just buy them."

Brother He did not refuse, and took it directly, saying that he would go to look at the wood tomorrow, and first prepare the wood for the doors and windows and transport it to the thatched house.

The matter was almost settled, so I prepared a banquet in the store to entertain Brother He and Boss Yue.

After dinner, I took Su Chen and Brother He back to the village in the afternoon. I bought some stone powder to prepare the place where the foundation was to be dug. This way, I could find someone to start digging directly tomorrow.

Da Niu and Er Niu were laying wood for the Gastrodia elata in the field, and Xiao Si was pulling weeds. When he saw me coming, Xiao Si jumped up to greet me.

During this time, we had food to eat. Although the place to live was not good, at least we didn't have to wander around. Xiao Si's face had a little more flesh on it, and he looked much happier. He finally looked like a child.

I unloaded the food, rice, flour and vegetables that I brought from the town from the carriage and called Xiao Si to come and get them.

I first handed a meat bun to Xiao Si and watched him eat it with grunts, like a little hamster. Then I motioned him to take one to each of Da Niu and Er Niu.

The little guy took it and happily went to look for Da Niu and Er Niu.

The aunt and Erniu spread out the wood on their hands, took the buns handed over by Xiaohui and ran over: "Boss, you are here? Is there anything you need us to do here?"

I signaled Da Niu and Er Niu to bring over the bucket of lime. Then I taught them to sprinkle along the line laid by Brother He.

Da Niu and Er Niu quickly got the hang of it.

I said hello to Brother He and Su Chen, and then walked towards the village.

I'm going to ask the village head and the clan leader if there's anyone willing to do the job. If so, I'll hire someone from within the village. If not, I'll hire someone from outside.

Let’s decide on the labor cost first and we can officially start work tomorrow.
