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

Chapter 99 Mai Mancang, I finally look like a landlord’s wife

After the beams were put up, the construction speed became faster and faster. In just three days, the tiles on top were almost covered. Even the doors and windows were installed. With the locks, the house was finished.

Blue bricks, black tiles, yellow earth, wooden doors and windows with the scent of wood. The ground is also pounded tightly with wooden clappers, but it is made of earth after all. There is no way, like the current water curtain noodles, it looks comfortable.

I can say that, except for the ground floor, everything else about these houses was built to my liking and made me very happy.

The wheat in the field has turned yellow. At a glance, the golden wheat waves are undulating with the wind. It seems that you can smell the intoxicating aroma of wheat.

Ripe wheat must be harvested immediately, otherwise the wheat stalks will become soft and eventually fall to the ground, and the grains on the stalks will fall off.

We can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, they will rot in the ground. We won't be able to pick them up. All our efforts will be wasted.

Finding people from other places would also require wages, so I simply asked Dazhu and the others to stop working for a day and help me harvest the wheat first.

When there are many people, things can be done very quickly.

Each of these dozens of people is an expert in the fields, and harvesting wheat is easy for them. Building houses is also a way to earn wages, and harvesting wheat is also a way to earn wages.

When I told them to harvest the wheat at the price of repairing the house, they all agreed without hesitation, and the next day everyone came with sickles.

In just one day, the golden waves of wheat in the field were cut down piece by piece, and by evening, all the wheat in the field was harvested cleanly.

Only golden wheat grains were left, piled up in piles on the ground, making people feel inexplicably happy and satisfied.

The sun was shining brightly on the second and third days, so I simply found a few more people to remove all the wheat grains.

After another day of drying on the fourth day, the wheat was basically completely dry.

I asked Da Niu and Er Niu to find some dried wood and tie them into rows of racks. Then we made a rack half a meter higher and placed it in the middle of the house, leaving space for a person to walk through. We packed the wheat into sacks and tied them up. Then we moved them to the racks, stacking one sack on top of another. This was like putting the wheat on a shelf.

The newly built house, although it is made of blue bricks and tiles, has not dried out yet, and the ground and walls are very damp. If the wheat is placed directly against the wall or on the ground, it will definitely get moldy if it gets wet. Don't place it against the wall, up, down, left, or right. It can isolate moisture and keep it dry.

The most important thing is that it is not safe to store so much wheat in the thatched hut. After working so hard for so long, it would be sad if something went wrong.

If you put it in this brick house and lock the door, it will be much more difficult for ordinary people to steal it. There are 12 rooms in this row. Xiaomai put it in six rooms.

Looking at the room full of wheat, I looked at each room one by one. I finally felt like a landlady who had her own granary. I also experienced the joy of having a full granary.

After reading it, I locked all the doors and put the key away carefully. These wheats are not my most valuable. But they give me the greatest sense of accomplishment. Maybe it is the joy of harvest that people often talk about!

After the wheat was harvested and stored in the warehouse, I asked Da Niu, Er Niu and Xiao Si to move directly into the room next to where the wheat was stored.

This way, Xiao Hui and the others will know immediately if anything happens. The most important thing is that the rainy season is coming soon. I know the extent of the leakage of the thatched house very well.

These houses were built to house people who would work there in the future. Xiao Si and his family were here now, so they could move in first. They wouldn't have to suffer from water leaks during the rainy season.

The space will be freed up once the wheat is harvested, and the wall has been mostly built. It will probably take another month before the wall can be closed.

By then, we will install a gate and raise a few big dogs. Even if a thief comes in, he will have to think twice. Can he escape?

Moreover, the black bricks and tiles have much better fireproof function. In the future, whether it is the production of clothing or the craft of sweet potato flour, it will be managed in one place. It will make people feel more relaxed.

It can be said that investing a little more now will solve the problem once and for all in the future. At least before any major changes, in the short term, it is the best.

Most importantly, I can finally build the big house I’ve always dreamed of.

I am happy because my barn is full of wheat and my house is repaired.

And there are a few people who are happier than me. They are Da Niu, Er Niu and Xiao Si.

In Xiao Si's words, he never dreamed that he could live in a big house with blue bricks and black tiles. This is the best house he has ever lived in.

Several people quickly ran to the thatched hut and moved all the things over.

After Da Niu and Er Niu moved the things over, they were all happy and went back to work. Xiao Si was so happy that he went crazy and kept running around the house cheering like a madman.

I let him have his fun because I also wanted to shout with joy like him. But I was too embarrassed to do so, so Xiao Si took my place and filled every corner of this place with joyful laughter.
