Madam, please give me some advice

When A Lan saw Ji Xingle carrying his boss and driving him into the carriage, and then being flattered by Ji Xingle, he was stunned for a while. He only reacted after the carriage drove away.

A Lan controlled the carriage while admiring Ji Xingle.

Le Nujun is really amazing. I am obviously older than her, but she has a lot of skills. Even my boss can't get any good treatment from her. Haha! It seems that I have to be nicer to my boss in the future. I hope I can eat Le Nujun's cooking next time.

The saying "food is the first necessity of the people" is really perfectly interpreted by Lady Le.

......

In the car

Qi Simin's head was not very clear to begin with. After being carried by Ji Xingle for a distance and being shaken by the carriage, her head became even more dizzy.

She was so excited that she wanted to say something to her confidant, but at this moment she couldn't say it and just wanted to close her eyes and rest.

Knock knock knock...

"Gu Rong, are you home?" Ji Xingle asked

"Da Da Da..."

"Sister, sister, I'm here."

squeak~

Gu Rong asked happily, "Sister! What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Well, the thing I pried off the rock this morning, an oyster, a restaurant owner wants it tomorrow.

You and your mother should go early tomorrow morning to pry it open, and get the big, beautiful one.

Tomorrow I will bring the restaurant owner to collect it, and then I will give her the market price, or you can negotiate the price yourself, is that ok?"

"Really?" Gu Rong asked with a happy look on her face; "Sister, is this true?"

"Ah."

After getting Ji Xingle's definite answer, Gu Rong was even more excited. With red eyes, she kept thanking Ji Xingle. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, sister. Thank you, sister. Thank you, sister, for helping me."

"Don't cry, work hard, good luck is yet to come." Ji Xingle comforted

"Yes, I will. I promised my mother that I would do a good job."

"Okay, go in and tell your master, don't let anyone else know yet. When Shopkeeper Qi has finished making the things and there's a large demand, I'll ask her to contact you first."

"it is good"

"Also, do you have tools for prying oysters?"

“Does a kitchen knife count?”

"A kitchen knife? A kitchen knife won't work. Be careful when you pry it open, don't damage the shell. But it's okay if some of it breaks. For the pretty meat, put it in a bucket, and keep the ugly meat for yourself!"

He took out the prying tools and said, "Wait a moment." Fortunately, Ji Xingle always carried a basket with him as a cover when he went out. He reached out and took out three hammers and three flat-headed iron sticks.

"I'll lend this to you first. When you buy it, return it to me."

"Okay, okay," Gu Rong said happily; "Thank you, sister."

"Okay, remember to ask your mother and the others to be careful when you pry it open tomorrow. I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

"Okay, thank you sister, I understand."

When Ji Xingle arrived in the town, he wanted to find better construction workers. After asking around, he found out that the construction workers here were not as skilled and responsible.

Their advice to Ji Xingle was to go to the neighboring town of Qilin, as the construction workers there were more responsible and their prices were reasonable.

After getting a satisfactory result, Ji Xingle thanked the passers-by and followed the route to Qilin Town.

The town here is bigger than the previous one and looks more prosperous. No wonder it is recommended to the workers here.

Ji Xingle strolled around for a while and asked for directions.

When they arrived at the destination, they saw several women sitting at the door. Before Ji Xingle could say anything, they came up to him actively and asked with a smile, "Madam, are you looking for someone to build a house?"

"Yeah," Ji Xingle nodded.

"Madam, please come in, please come in."

"it is good."

"Please sit down for a while and have some tea. I'll go talk to our manager."

"Okay," Ji Xingle looked at their behavior and thought it was quite nice. They served tea as soon as they sat down and were polite, which was rare.

After a while, a calm female voice came, "Hello"

"My lady, I'm the manager here, Qian Fang. You can call me Old Qian, or Aunt Fang."

"Well, hello, Aunt Fang, my name is Ji Xingle."

Huh! When Qian Fang saw Ji Xingle's face, she was slightly shocked. She had never seen someone wearing such ordinary clothes without affecting his appearance.

Sure enough, some people's clothes are decorations, while some people's clothes are just clothes.

"Ahem! How big a house do you want to build? Do you have any ideas?"

"Well, I want to build a four-courtyard house. I want to change some places, and the rest will follow your rules."

"Siheyuan?" Several people in the room, including the steward, were surprised and asked when they heard Ji Xingle mention Siheyuan.

"Yes," Ji Xingle said calmly; "It's a quadrangle courtyard. When I came here, I asked people along the way, and they all said that your architecture is good, so I came here from Xinghua Village specifically. I hope you won't let me down."

"No! We will definitely do our best.

Miss Le, did you bring the drawing you want to modify?"

"No, could you please give me some paper, pen and ink?"

"it is good"

After getting paper, pen and ink, Ji Xingle began to draw the courtyard house he had imagined.

Each room was enlarged to leave space for a double bed, and a kang was drawn inside the room. The construction method of the kang, its size, smoke outlet, fire outlet, how to build it and how to leave it were all written down in detail.

A kang for three people to sleep was built in the main house of the second courtyard.

In the main room of the last courtyard, a large kang was built that could sleep ten people, and there was also a large space for beds that could accommodate four or five people.

There were two large rooms for the servants, one for men and one for women, and they were equipped with a big kang, saving wherever possible.

A kitchen was built in each of the four courtyards, and the structure of the kitchen was also changed to make it larger, with four stoves in each kitchen.

The bathroom is the most important. I have a toilet in my space, hahahahaha!

There are public bathrooms and toilets in the four courtyards, and there are also bathrooms and toilets in the rooms. The locations reserved for the toilets and the pits dug are clearly written.

Floor requirements: all high-end.

It took him more than half an hour to finish writing. His hands were almost cramped. He shook his hands and handed a few drawings to Qian Fang.

The people nearby were curious about what kind of house would take so long to renovate, and they all moved closer to Qian Fang to look at the drawings in her hand.

"hiss......"

"this......."

"sharp......"

After viewing the drawings, people expressed shock and admiration.

"Mr. Le, how did you come up with this kang? It's amazing, isn't it? And here, what do the exit and entrance mean?"

"Oh! This is for sleeping. This is the exit. The entrance is for burning firewood. Put in the firewood and burn it until it reaches a certain temperature. This kang will heat up. When winter comes, you won't be afraid of the cold."

"This...this has this use?" Qian Fang asked excitedly.

"Ah."

As if confirming something important, Qian Fang asked again seriously, "Will it really be warm in winter?"

"Yes."

"Okay, okay, okay! Miss Le, you, you really are amazing to be able to come up with this method to avoid the cold. You are amazing! I, Qian Fang, admire you so much."

"Don't," Ji Xingle waved his hand and said, "It's not what I came up with. I don't know who came up with it either. I just had the good fortune to come across it and thought it was pretty good, so I wanted to have it, too."

"So that's how it is. The first person who built this kang must have been a very capable person." Qian Fang said sincerely.

“Yeah, I think it’s amazing too.”
