A time-travelling peasant girl becomes a wealthy woman

Butler Song had more contact with the Tang family, and it would be embarrassing for the Tang family.

"Mr. Tang, we are here to ask Patriarch Huang how to eat."

"What to eat?"

Butler Song stopped talking.

"Sweet and sour pork tenderloin? Stir-fried kidney? Mushu pork?" Tang Jide deliberately named a few dishes: "Or is it braised pork ribs with fermented bean curd? Steamed chicken wings with fermented bean curd?"

What are you talking about?

The housekeepers of the Song and Ge families looked at Tang Jide in confusion. Why had they never heard of the name of the dish that was reported?

But there is fermented bean curd...

"Could it be fermented bean curd?"

A straight ball.

The housekeepers of the Song and Ge families remained even more silent.

Even though Tang Jide is only in his twenties, he is already a veteran in the business world.

If he had not had a talent for business since childhood, it would probably not have been his turn to establish a reputation as the next head of the Tang family.

"Master Huang, didn't you tell the two housekeepers about our cooperation?"

"I've said it."

Huang Bo cooperated very well.

"I told you this is not good. The two stewards are also eager to protect their master."

Tang Jide suddenly discovered that Huang Bo was also a fun person.

"Butler Song, Butler Ge, my Tang family has already signed the deal. Please go back and tell the head of the family. I'm really sorry. I'll ask my father to drink a glass of wine to make amends for their mistake some other day."

As for whether his father goes or not, that is not something he can control.

Seeing that it was no longer possible to stay, the Song and Ge families quickly got up and said goodbye.

After seeing them off, Yu Zhenzhou and his wife came down carrying Huang Mulin.

"My lord, ma'am."

Tang Jide bowed respectfully.

Yu Zhenzhou waved his hand: "No need to be polite here."

"Yes."

He Hui Niang followed back but did not go into the backyard, so she helped in the front hall because she knew it was useless for her to go in.

After seeing those people leave, he put down his work and went back to the backyard.

Everyone sat in the hall and talked.

"The Song and Ge families will probably come again." Tang Jide said, "They didn't expect me to be in Linhai Town in person today. They don't know how to deal with it for a while. When they report back to the head of the family, there may be other tricks."

"It doesn't matter." Yu Zhenzhou didn't care at all: "If they dare to have evil ideas, just get rid of them."

At this moment, Yu Zhenzhou had the sharp spirit of a warrior on the battlefield.

Only then did Huang Bo and his wife and Tang Jide finally feel relieved.

"Dad is awesome!"

Huang Mulin expressed her gratitude with a kiss.

Yu Zhenzhou was very satisfied.

The housekeepers of the Song and Ge families returned to their residence with unhappy faces. They each wrote a letter to their own master to seek advice.

Their status and voice are far different from Tang Jide's, so only people with status can negotiate.

After sending the letter, all you can do is wait.

Yu Zhenzhou was also busy. He gave Yu Min a token and asked him to arrange people to collect all the information about the Song, Ge and Tang families.

Although the Tang family has already cooperated, he believes that he should still be careful that someone within the Tang family may have different ideas.

There are so many dirty things happening in the mansions of wealthy families, and we must not let them pollute the eyes of a little girl.

The reason why Yu Zhenzhou was able to sit on the position of Duke of Zhenguo was not only because he was good at marching and fighting, but more importantly, he had the ability to foresee the future.

The Huang family lived their lives as usual. Huang Mulin spent most of his time at home discussing the design of their new home with He Hui Niang and Yang Lijun who came every day.

Yu Zhenzhou didn't want to hang out with the crowd, so he took Yu Zheng on a tour around the town. Occasionally, he would go to Xiushan Village with Huang Bo to take a look at their future new home.

"Yu Zheng, do you feel that this is the way to live?"

Yu Zhenzhou looked at the craftsmen working hard on the homestead, and looked at the peaceful and lively countryside, and sighed.

Yu Zheng nodded: "Sir, the people live and work in peace and contentment, this is probably what it looks like."

When Yang Lijun was in the frontier, she was very free and unrestrained. The couple often rode horses outside the Great Wall and chased the setting sun.

As soon as they entered Beijing, they fell apart.

They really don't fit in there.

At this moment, Yu Zhenzhou had an idea in his mind.

When the heads of the Song and Ge families received the letters from their subordinates, they both felt that the matter was a bit tricky, and both heads believed that they had to meet in person.

The Tang, Song and Ge families were all in different prefectures.

The Tang family was located in Changling Prefecture in the north, and their main businesses included restaurants, hotels, horses, cloth, and daily necessities.

The Song family was in Mingde Prefecture in the west, and their main business was trading jade and flowers from Qili Kingdom, making jewelry, embroidery and other businesses.

The Ge family was located in the Eastern Yongqing Prefecture, and their main business was to trade diamonds from the Baoguo country, and to create jewelry, paper products, etc.

A hundred years ago, the south was extremely poor and almost ignored by the big families. Later, the capital and the three major families intervened to prevent others from occupying more resources, so it was difficult for big families to develop in the south.

Linhai Town is located at the southernmost edge.

I didn't expect there would be a sudden rise.

The two families exchanged information and agreed to meet in the capital one month later.

Regardless of what strategies the Ge and Song families are going to discuss, the workshop in Xiushan Village has been completed.

Lao Tian and the craftsmen built the house completely according to Huang Mulin's design, and it looks very spacious and practical.

Especially the toilet, which the villagers had never seen before. After Lao Tian explained to them how to use it, everyone in the village was amazed.

The men's and women's accommodation areas are separated by a wall. On one side are the men's living area and two toilets, and on the other side are the women's living area and three toilets. The workshop has a lot of delicate work and there are more female workers, so there is an extra women's toilet.

It must be mentioned here that Huang Mulin merged the ancient toilet and bathroom according to the house design of his previous life and made it directly into a bathroom.

It won't stink and I won't be able to stay here for long.

The design drawings that Huang Mulin gave Qian Donglai included not only the squat toilet, but also the sewage pipe.

There were no plastic pipes in this era, so she could only use ceramic pipes instead, one piece at a time, and first use cowhide to surround the small end of the connecting part, and then insert it into the large end, trying to leave no gaps. Then she cut the exposed part of the cowhide flat and brushed it with tung oil several times to waterproof and stop odor.

The ground is compacted and paved with three layers of blue bricks to prevent water from draining away quickly enough and accumulating indoors, causing slipping when bathing.

A passage was dug and pipes were buried, leading to a large pit outside the workshop. A special stone vat was placed in the pit to store excrement. A special lid was also used to seal the pit to cover up the smell. A fence was also set up, and people were required to clean up the excrement every day.

Generally speaking, the cost of building a bathroom is not affordable for ordinary people.

Huang Mulin and Lao Tian had already agreed that they would only build new houses or renovate houses for wealthy people in the future, and would not take jobs from ordinary people because they wanted high construction fees.

Positioning the bathroom as a "luxury product" allows wealthy people to experience the enjoyment that comes with status.

As for other colleagues who want to steal my skills?

It also depends on whether the rich are willing to tear down your bathroom for research.

You still need a squat toilet.

Both are indispensable to make a good bathroom. Probably not many craftsmen have the courage to do such a thing. Even if there are, it will take time to try.

This is the time difference Huang Mulin wanted.
