The rural doctor bought a husband who was very treacherous

Because the drawings brought by Su Tang were different from the previous ones, Master Zheng called over several people in charge of various projects to listen to Su Tang's explanation.

After those people gathered around and looked at the overall effect picture at the top, they started talking about it.

"The appearance of this house is similar to the houses we built before, but it also seems to have many differences." A craftsman in charge of the main body of the house saw the difference at a glance.

The houses designed by Su Tang are not only beautiful but also practical.

"Yes, corridors are added outside the rooms. The Qian family did this before, but what is this used for?" A man asked, pointing to a place above the drawing.

In fact, when wealthy businessmen or large families built houses, they would generally add this kind of corridor outside the house where the master lived, to make it convenient for the master to walk outside the house in rainy or snowy weather without getting his shoes wet.

However, this type of house design is mostly used by some wealthy families in the south. After all, adding a corridor not only takes up extra space, but also requires waste of work and materials if financial resources do not allow.

They had all been to Su Tang's house before. The Su family had made a lot of furniture before, but in their eyes, they were just a wealthy farmer. They were very surprised that the Su family also wanted to make this kind of thing.

These people didn't know that the picture in front of them was drawn by Su Tang, and they thought it was just a picture that Master Zheng took out for Su Tang to choose.

"Bamboo is used here to guide the water flowing down from the eaves to this side, and then to the courtyard through the pillars placed here to prevent people standing under the corridor from getting wet by the falling rain."

Su Tang designed a circle of water diversion channels at the edge of the eaves, intending to use bamboo to lead the rainwater flowing down from the roof to the pillars, and then use bamboo tubes installed beside the pillars to completely lead the water into the yard.

In this way, even if someone stands under the corridor watching the rain, their skirt will not be splashed by the rain falling from above.

Of course, if you stand too close to the edge of the corridor, you will get wet by the naturally falling rain.

But Su Tang’s design has expanded the range of people’s activities in the corridor, which is no longer available in this era.

After listening to Su Tang, the man suddenly understood and praised repeatedly: "This is good, rich men are particular about it."

After everyone finished looking at the first picture, they scrolled down again.

The picture behind it depicts the design of the yard.

"What do these dots mean?"

In the picture, Su Tang deliberately dotted many dots in the yard. These are not ink dots dripping when she put pen to paper, but are specially drawn by Su Tang.

"I'm going to cover the yard with gravel so that when it rains in the future, there won't be mud in the yard."

"Use gravel? This is the first time I've heard of this. If you don't want the yard to be too dirty, you can just pave it with bluestone slabs." Master Zheng had also noticed this special feature before and asked.

They worked for others and had seen the luxury of rich families.

They were really afraid of seeing any dirt, especially the inner courtyard where the women lived. Just as he said, it would be paved with stone slabs to prevent their clothes from getting dirty.

In fact, there was a reason why Su Tang planned to lay gravel. After all, she lived in the countryside and could not compare with city people.

The wealthy families in the city have many servants and maids, and each family has a maid to look after the yard.

But the Su family lives in the countryside, and even if they hire someone, it is impossible for them to keep a 24-hour eye on whether there are outsiders coming in.

As for raising a dog to guard the yard, Su Tang must have one, but the yard should be paved with gravel, and when people enter the yard and walk around, the gravel will make friction sounds.

The gravel layer in the yard is the best anti-theft system of this era.

No one noticed this at that time, so when Su Tang said it, Master Zheng asked the question just now.

"Well, that's easy. There are a lot of stones in the mountains where you live. When we build the house, we can use the broken stones when we get the stones for the courtyard wall."

Su Tang nodded. She indeed thought so.

"Huh? Is this a bathtub? Why is it so small?" Suddenly someone discovered the toilet design drawn by Su Tang.

Everyone looked over when they heard the sound. At first glance, the picture that only depicted the details did look like a bathtub, but it was much smaller than the bathtubs currently on the market.

"It's probably a little small to wash a child."

"And this, is that a pipe drawn on the bathtub? What is it for?"

As expected of an old master, someone soon asked the key question.

Su Tang pointed to several places depicted on the blueprint and explained their uses to everyone one by one, "These pipes are also bamboo pipes. The top one is connected to the mountain stream, and this one is a sewer pipe that leads to..."

For a moment, everyone listened quietly. When Su Tang finished speaking, Master Zheng couldn't help but say, "This, the master of the Qian family doesn't enjoy life as much as you do."

In fact, it’s not that the Qian family didn’t know how to enjoy themselves, but that no one had ever thought of placing a toilet in the room and connecting it to water and sewage.

This way, people don’t have to go out and freeze their butts in the winter.

Moreover, after connecting to the water supply and drainage, the dirt can be cleared away immediately.

"If this thing can really be made, it will be the first of its kind in Dayong."

"I think it's feasible to connect these with bamboo tubes."

"Okay, everyone has looked over these drawings. If there is anything we don't understand next time, we can ask Madam Su." Master Zheng quickly put away the drawings, fearing that the people around him would write them down and resell them privately.

As long as you learn the carpentry skills seriously, you can buy a ready-made object and imitate it.

Master Zheng dismissed everyone and handed the drawings to Su Tang, "Just give them to me after the New Year."

Master Zheng also knew the value of these drawings, so he didn't want to keep them in his hands right now.

Su Tang smiled and pushed the drawings over. "Since I brought these here today, I don't plan to take them back. I'll leave them here with Master Zheng first. You can help me take a look at them this winter. If there's anything wrong, I'll fix it next year."

Master Zheng was very happy to be trusted by Su Tang. He took the drawings and put them into his sleeve, then took out a few banknotes and handed them to Su Tang. "Then I'll take them first. These banknotes are all I have on me now. Of course, these drawings must be worth more than this price. When I have enough, I'll send them to Madam Su."

"Okay." Su Tang took the banknotes with a smile, counted them, and found that there were more than one hundred taels.

Su Tang came to hire someone to build a house, and this time she made some money from Master Zheng without even spending any money.

"By the way, I've been here twice. You have quite a lot of people here. Master Zheng, do you provide food and accommodation?"

"Yes, we sometimes have to rush work here, and living together can save some time.

But not all of them live and eat here. Some of them have places to stay in the capital, and they go back every day to earn more money."

"Food in the city is not cheap. Feeding so many people must be very expensive."

"Yes, we don't have land like you do, so we have to buy food. If the price of food goes up a little, we can't afford it."

The people who work for Master Zheng are all strong laborers and each of them can eat a lot. Master Zheng must ensure that they are well fed if he provides meals, otherwise he would not be able to keep them.
